ECC 6.0 Longrunning phase in upgrade: PARCONV_UPG took more then 20 H

[Former Member]

Hello,

The question is can we speedup this step? When it was running during test upgrade (4.6C -> ECC 6.0), we saw only 1 job/task active for the most of the time even we had chosen 3 DDL and 4 background jobs.

Does anyone has any indication for total upgrade time, for below system:

1,8 TB database, 6 Power CPU, 34 GB memory.

How much time your upgrade took?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Luis,

one more thing ...

if you are not happy on the following situation, that you often see during PARCON_UPG:

<code>

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 10,8 PGM-tp RUN

</code>

or

TP BCI 2 30 46,9 32188 1,3

TP BCI 2 30 210,0 17 0,0

TP BCI 2 30 49,5 16 0,0

TP BCI 2 30 240,8 17 0,0

TP BCI 2 30 9,1 19122 0,7

or

TP AAZOFR BCI 1,3 PGM-tp LCKW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,0 PGM-tp TIMW

TP AAZOFR BCI 0,7 PGM-tp TIMW

i.e.: More or less the whole time, all the parallel TPs are locking each other during PARCON_UPG and therefore lots of stuff seems to run in single threat instead of parallel. (mostly TIMW)

I would be more than happy, if this problem would be investigated as I see it at every upgrade and cannot believe, that this is "the perfect solution" ...

Hi Savas,

unfortunately this can happen during upgrades :-((

First of all, it is essential, that you are using at least the following SAPup:

SAPup version 7.00/2, build 24.056 <<< fix for the parallel PARCON_UPG

But as it is delivered as follows:

SR1: This is SAPup version 7.00/2, build 24.038

SR2: This is SAPup version 7.00/2, build 24.065

I guess, you are on a higher level ...

I always recommend the latest version right now:

This is SAPup version 7.00/2, build 24.074

How to find out the current version ? (as described in note 821032)

SAPUP UPGDIR('/usr/sap/put') PARMLIST('-V')

There are log files where you can see what which job did:

PDxxmmdd.<SID>

xx = number of TP (0-n)

mm = month of run

dd = day of run

=> e.g. :

PD000414.AAZ

PD010414.AAZ

PD020414.AAZ

PD030414.AAZ

PD040414.AAZ

There you can see each SQL, it's runtime and when it was run. Then it is interesting if your large tables ran in one SQL only ...

... but in an 1.8TB i5 this time is unfortunately nearly OK ...
