Hi Subbu

Looks like your system is MDMP as it contains 2 entries in the table TCPDB.

Can you please also run the report - RSCPINST and let us know the output .

For MDMP - the process of the upgrade and unicode conversion wil be different

Thanks

Hi Subbu

Planning the combined Unicode and upgrade to EHP 6 would be project in itself as I assume that you will need to move all the systems in the PROD landscape.

Please see the detailed requirements in this note :

928729 - Combined Upgrade & Unicode Conversion (CU&UC)

Also please check the attached ZIP files at the same. As your oracle version is 11g , hence should be fine.

Thanks

Hi Subbu,

the effort for doing a combined Upgrade & Unicode conversion highly depends on several different aspects - e.g. for export/import procedure:

Overall Database size

Size of specific Tables

- Size of largest tables

- Size of cluster tables

Available Hardware

- Number and speed of CPUs

- I/O Performance of disks

- Separate server available for PRD Unicode system

- Additional (temporary) hardware available for export and import

Settings

- Special r3load export / import options (e.g., unsorted export)

- Profile parameters (see SAP Notes 784118 and 857081)

Time and number of tests spent on optimization

Please have a look at

Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion

and SAP note 1322715 for details.

Please also note that a conversion of an MDMP system will add significant effort (mainly in transaction SPUMG).

Best regards,

Please check installation/upgrade guides and Notes available over SMP as mentioned above.

Perform upgrade using SUM and Unicode conversion by system copy export/import after upgrade.

UCCHECK has to be done prior to upgrade.
