Hi

kinldy find the below sample plan for BASIS side there might be many steps to follow

kindly find the standard document in https://support.sap.com/software/installations/a-z-index.htmlsevices market place--> software download--> Installationguide

sample BASIS side preparation

1) Raise necessary the Request for Space, RAM, Cpu

2) Free space requirements for filesystm and tmp directoires

3) Disabling of the AUTOMATIC transports if avaliable

4) Generate Stack XML file

5) Preparation of the MEDIA

6) Check and verify patches

7) Check whether the SUM tool ports are opened on the servers (if not open them)

😎 Check require password for Oracal and SAP(SIDADM, DDIC, SYSTEM and SYS)

9) check the database to apply any patches if required

10) Release all Open requests.

11) Set parameter service..etc

12) Start Online FULL Backup

13 confirm the successful backup before start of Upgrade Preparation

14 Check ownership of /usr/sap/<SID> and /sapmnt/<SID>, shld be with sidadm user.

Functional related test

1) You need to check with SRM team to prepare like shoping card , po.. etc...

2) IDOC,TRFC smq1 and smq2...

3) Connection between ECC to SRM and third party system should work before like that..

4) we need to check all the RFC connection and SSO

Note : Better  check with SRM team to get more function test based on your business.

Thanks,

Hello Saurabh,

Take the externally connected non-SAP system into account during your functional tests.

Determine end-to-end test scenarios regarding to the processes, which will be controlled by your SRM system.
