Upgrade to Solution Manager 7.1 with Oracle 11g

[Former Member]

Hi everyone!

I upgraded from EHP1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 to Solution Manager 7.1. Upgrade was successful, but oracle version still 10.2.0.4. Upgrade was done with Software Update Manager and during update process it didn't ask any oracle installation software. I found nothing about this question in upgrade guide. How can I upgrade Solution Manager with upgrading Oracle database to 11g version. Thanks.

Thank you, Jai. This is helpful for me.

But I need to know is there a way to switch Oracle version during Solman upgrade?

Hi,

No. You cannot switch Oracle version during the upgrade.

You can do it before or after the upgrade

Perform Oracle upgrade as a separate task according to Oracle upgrade guide.

Thank you, Roman.

Is there a procedure to upgrade Oracle during the whole solman upgrade process? Or perfoming as a separate task is the only way?
