Activating nZDM during preprocessing

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I am currently doing EHP upgrade for my Development system from:

ECC 6 EHP5 to ECC 6 EHP6.

The preparation was done pretty fast. I had to upgrade my DB2 to from version 9.5 to 9.7 ( I was stuck a bit here, but in the end it went successfully).

Now my problem is that once I have upgraded my DB2 to version 9.7, I went straight for step Preprocessing from Sunday evening, and it runs until today Thursday and it is still not finishing yet.

I have discovered that for the new SUM, you can actually choose "Advanced - extensive downtime optimization" during Configuration step to activate the nZDM (near Zero Downtime Maintenance) which I am now too late to set it back to that setting. I chose "Standard" btw.

My question is, is there any way I can activate the nZDM while now the upgrade is already in Preprocessing step - ABAP:Phase MAIN_SHDIMP/SUBMOD_SHDALIASCRE/EU_CLONE_CRE/SHDVIEWS?

I know for system copy - during export or import, I can edit the "export_monitor_cmd" or "import_monitor_cmd" to increase the job processes during copy process. Is there any such way for SUM - EHP upgrade?

I appreciate if anyone can give me advices.

Thanks.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Manas,

Thank you for your help. Please send to my email. However I just want to get a quick answer, will I be able to edit the configuration to activate nZDM while on preprocessing step?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please check note  Note 1678564 - Executing and Monitoring nZDM/SUM

nZDM need to activate in pre- configuration Mode in SUM . You can refer SUM guide for same also.

Thanks

Hi Stephan,

How many BGD work process are configured in the source system, have you canceled all the scheduled background jobs before starting the SUM tool, still the phase is running, i don't think it will allow you to activate the nZDM.

Hi Karthikeyan,

We have 4 background jobs and yes I have paused all the background jobs.

Thanks.
