I'm doing a sandbox upgrade from 4.72 to ECC 6 SR2 with the most current support packages (ABA/BASIS 12, EA* 7 et al) and 12 languages (Unicode).
I did this upgrade on a different box already (almost same configuration) despite the difference, that I now use Oracle 10 (as opposed to MaxDB earlier).
SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG1 needed ~ 2.5 hours on MaxDB and is now running for > 6 hours on Oracle. The phase is clearly CPU bound, I can see very few I/O but I see the Oracle shadow processes consume all CPU time. The former box was also a 4 way system as this is.
The statistics were updated before the upgrade but neverless, the upgrade is working on the shadow instance where all statistics get updated by/after EU_IMPORTx.
I also see progress in /usr/sap/put/tmp but I'm just wondering, if this runtime is common and expected or if I do have a problem here. I assume, that the last four hours only language dependent data is applied because logfiles in /usr/sap/put/tmp are
SAPKL<LANG>17.TAD
SAPKL<LANG>18.TAD
etc.
I'm running 10.2.0.2 with the latest patches:

OPatch succeeded.
Anyone any experiences in this area, especially with more than 5 languages? This upgrade is not time critical at all, I just wonder...

Hello Markus,
I made a upgrade from 4.6 to ECC6 but not Unicode.
I can't explain you if your situation is normal for Unicode, but, for a upgrade without Unicode, the times you get from the phases help of the DVD are not real.
There are many phases that the time of the help is marked for a time and the real time is 3 or 4 times upper.
If you see that the server is working all must be correct.
Regards.

The "size" of that phase is almost identical on each system because
- EU_IMPORT1 - EU_IMPORT7 imports the data into the shadow instance
- SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG1 activates all objects in the shadow instance
the original instance is not touched.
The only difference what I can imagine is the number of languages used during the upgrade because the language itself and the language dependent data from the supportpackages bound to the upgrade must be imported (as far as I understand the concept).
