Two upgrades at the same time from the same host?

[Former Member]

Hi,

i have two systems in the same windows host. I would like to upgrade both the systems parallel at the same time.

I understand that the SL Controller will be started for both the systems. What i dont understand is the port 4239 to get into upgrade GUI. Both uses the same port. How is this possible? Can i start two upgrades at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mohan.

Hello

Check the upgrade guide:

5.4 Starting the Software Update Manager GUI
NOTE
If you are running several updates in parallel on the same host, you have to use different port
numbers for each. When you start the Software Update Manager, specify the port numbers
as follows:
httpport=<http port number>
guiport=<GUI port number>
-srvarg=/UseCaseService/abaptoolport=<port number for ABAP update tool>

Port which I told you earlier are standard one and same is there in the log you posted above. You need to use command with STARTUP script to use different port.

Hi Sunny,

sorry but i still cannot understand. Its getting complicated.

I just want to know the guiport of 1st upgrade?

You wrote:

((

Hi,

By default, HTTP port would be 4239 and SL controller will be listening on port 4241. These 2 ports you will need to change with the command given earlier.

Thanks

Sunny

))

That means gui port is 4241 (same as SL controller) for the 1st upgrade ??

Regards,

Mohan

[sunny_pahuja2 · Accepted solution]

GUI port is 4239. If you will open GUI in browser. But you will need to change both the ports if you want to start another upgrade on the same server.

Thanks

Sunny

Hi Sunny,

yes, i understand, i need to use different ports for the 2nd upgrade other than the ones used in 1st upgrade so that they do not clash.

aha, again learnt something new. So, GUI port is 4239 for the 1st upgrade. Then what is the HTTP port for the 1st UPGRADE ??

Regards,

Mohan.

[sunny_pahuja2 · Accepted solution]

You are getting confused now. Let me explain you in detail:

1) If you want to start Upgrade GUI in browser, then 2 ports are used

HTTP port/GUI Port: 4239 and SL controller  port: 4241

2) If you want to start upgrade GUI with DSUGui command then in addition to above 1 more port is used

srvarg=/DSUService/abaptoolport=<port number for ABAP update tool>

I hope it will be clear now.

Thanks

Hi Sunny,

thank you for the elaborate explanation.

So in the below comand, where to specify SL controller port, there is no option given for that?

./STARTUP httpport=<free port> guiport=<free port>

Regards,

Mohan.

[sunny_pahuja2 · Accepted solution]

GUIPORT is the SL controller port.

Hi Sunny,

thank you, atlast it worked.

Hi,

You can do two parallel upgrades, by specifying the arguments while running the Upgrade command.

There in you can specify the different ports.

But, it isn't a very much recommended approach.

Also the system would be highly loaded during the upgrade tasks as lots of resources are consumed.

[former_member189797]

I agree with Akshay...if you want to use this, then make sure that you have enough resources else you might face resource/performance related issues.

[Former Member]

Hi Akshay,

thanks for the quick reply, could you kindly reply my second question above.

3rd question:

I see one more port used by SL Controller - Starting SL Controller listening on port 4241.

Should i need to take care of this port also in the second upgrade?

Regards,

Mohan.

[former_member189797]

extract from the SUM guide :

3.

To start the Software Update Manager, enter the command /<update directory>/STARTUP

Always start the Software Update Manager from within the directory in which it is placed.

If you are running several updates in parallel on the same host, you have to use different port numbers for each. When you start the Software Update Manager, specify the port numbers as follows:ìY¥ httpport=<http port number>ìY¥ guiport=<GUI port number>ìY¥ -srvarg=/DSUService/abaptoolport=<port number for ABAP update tool>

4.

To start the Software Update Manager GUI, proceed as described in Starting the Software Update Manager GUI [page 95]

##### Do not perform parallel updates in MCOD systems.

I hope it helps.

Hello,

Yes, you can start 2 upgrade at same time from same host. You just need to change the port on which SL controller will be running. For that you should follow below step:

1) For 1st upgrade, run upgrade normally.

2) Form 2nd upgrade, run upgrade tool

     ./STARTUP httpport=<free port> guiport=<free port>

And then you can open upgrade Gui in browser with different guiport.

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi Sunny,

for the 1st upgrade, i started it normally. So, the httpport used is 4239 (default) and what is the guiport used here? I need to find this so that i can use a different guiport for the 2nd upgrade.

for the 2nd upgrade, can i start like this:

./STARTUP httpport=4240 guiport=one number higher than the one used used in 1st upgrade

Regards,

Mohan.

[sunny_pahuja2]

Hello,

When you start STARTUP script then it will show you complete information on which port it is running http service and based on that you can use different port. 4239 is default http port.

Thanks

Sunny

[Former Member]

Hi Sunny,

the problem is in the command box, i cannot scroll up completely. I can only see http port information but not the guiport information. Is there any other way?

Regards,

Mohan.

[sunny_pahuja2]

Hi,

By default, HTTP port would be 4239 and SL controller will be listening on port 4241. These 2 ports you will need to change with the command given earlier.

Thanks
