SUM SP13 Patch 6 - can't change Archiving mode via SAPup set confpar

[former_member204618]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of preparing an SPS update for production, but I just realised at stage 5.5 Preprocessing, I left archiving off oops.

So I referred to http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1904239 only to discover that setting "set confpar" doesn't show me Archiving Mode either in the GUI or on the command line.

How do I change this parameter? 

What file do I need to edit?

Thanks

OK I think I might have found the file I need to change, SharedInputCatalog.xml located in SUMDIR/sdt/data.

Now what do I need to change this parameter :-

<Property flags="user" value="STOPSAP_SHDSYS" setBy="SAPup" key="ArchiveMode"/>

to?

Thanks

Craig

UPDATE

Think I might have found the answer I was looking for, although it'd be nice for someone to confirm this.

In file SAPupDialogues.xml within SUMDIR/abap/bin it has this section :-

        <choice id="ArchiveModeInput">
          <caption>Archive mode</caption>
          <multichoice>
            <item id="Archiving_on">
              <stringvalue>No disabling of the archive mode (archiving on)</stringvalue>
            </item>
            <item id="STOPSAP_EUIMP">
              <stringvalue>Disabling of the archive mode in phase STOPSAP_EUIMP</stringvalue>
            </item>
            <item id="STOPSAP_SHDSYS">
              <stringvalue>Disabling of the archive mode in phase STOPSAP_SHDSYS</stringvalue>
            </item>
            <item id="STOPSAP_TRANS">
              <stringvalue>Disabling of the archive mode in phase STOPSAP_TRANS</stringvalue>
            </item>
          </multichoice>
          <remotecontrol id="ArchiveMode"/>
        </choice>

Which seems to correspond with the value set against the Property I showed above.  So STOPSAP_SHDSYS should become Archiving_on.

Cheers

Hi Craig,

please take into account that SAP does not support manual editing of XML files controlling the update.

The standard way of changing parameters are

Start with options

set stdpar

or

set confpar

If archive mode is not showing up then the phase was passed where the change is possible.

Best regards,

Laszlo

Hi Laszlo,

I'm not sure I follow.

There is nothing in that SAP Note about only being able to do this at a certain point in the process.

Also the screen shots in that SAP Note are at step 5.5 preprocessing which is exactly where I am.

I should point out that the options it does show me are :-

- NUMBER OF PARALLEL PROCESSES

- USAGE (or not) of the MEMORY OPTIMIZER ACTIVATOR

Just not the first one which is what I require!

Without stopping the update and starting all again I simply need to know how to turn the Archiving option on.

Thanks

Craig
