Prevent shadow system in SUM

[Former Member]

Hello

I have installed a new PI 7.4 system (SR 1) and now I'm updating it from SP 5 to the newest, SP 7 (both java and ABAP stacks)

I'm using SUM 1 SP 10 patch 8, which is the newest SUM version.

Is there any way to prevent SUM from creating a shadow system? this is just 2 support packages X 6 ABAP components. The system is brand new and I don't care about the downtime, only about the entire update duration.

SUM asked me if I want "Standard" or "Advanced" downtime configuration and I chose standard.

Thank's for your help

Hi Gal,

single system mode is not available for PI dual stack systems, sorry - see Central SAP Note 1878193 for SUM ('No "Single System" mode on dual stack systems'), and threads like this one:

Thank you Boris,

Too bad we can't skip the shadow instance creation since it's pretty wasteful

Yes, I had the same reaction when updating the sp stack on my Solution Manager system.
