MaxDB upgrade from 7.6 to 7.8

Former Member

Hi,

We are having SAP IDES 6.0 and NW Portal 7.02 in the same Windows 2008 server with MaxDB  7.6. Now we are planning to install Solution Manager 7.1 in the same server.

So we want upgrade MaxDB 7.6 to MaxDB 7.8, for that i have below queries.

1) Is it possible to upgrade from MaxDB 7.6 to 7.8 directly.

2) Upgrade should be done in all instances or any one instance.

3) Is Solution manager  7.1 can be installed with MaxDB 7.8.

We have downloaded the MaxDB 7.8 Software (51042685_10 for Windows) and MaxDB update software (51042685_12 for Windows). As per the standard upgrade document it says to run below command from the MAXDB_UPDATE folder

"DBUPDATE.BAT -s <SAPSID> –d <DBSID> -u <DBM,DBM password> [ -dir <temporary directory> ]"

I have a doubt that the download which i have (51042685_12) is only 240 KB. Whether we need to start upgrade from 51042685_12 software or 51042685_10 (In this DVD also DBUPDATE.BAT is available.

Kindly Suggest.

Regards,

Sreekanth

Hello,

SAP Note 1353266 - Additional information about MaxDB version upgrade to 7.8 will give you answer of all of your questions.

You can upgrade MAXDB for individual system as well but you need to check that whether all systems are using same software or not. If all systems are using same software then you need to upgrade the database for all systems.

As per PAM, Solman 7.1 cannot be installed on MAXDB 7.8.

Hi Sunny,

I have found in the below in PAM, is it supported to install solman 7.1 for MaxDB 7.8?

In PAM: Solution manager 7.1

MAXDB 7.8 64-BIT + WINDOWS SRV 2008 R2/X64 64BIT + SAP KERNEL 7.20 64-BIT

Kindly suggest if i am wrong.
