hi,

1.Archive all productive repositories

Perform this step after checking and repairing all repositories.

Using MDM Console or a CLIX-based batch procedure, archive all repositories you want

to reuse after the upgrade.

We recommend that you copy the archives from the MDM file location to a specific

backup location.

2. Back up the MDM installation file system

Copy the complete path for the existing MDM installation to the backup location.

Standard path for Windows is <System partition>:\Program Files\SAP MDM

5.5; for Unix: /usr/local or /opt.

3.Save your CCMS monitoring environment

If you have used CCMS monitoring for the MDM, back up the CCMS environment on

your host (common location is <System partition>:\usr\sap\prfclog).

4. Save MDM-specific portal environment

Export the SP04 custom portal content and download it to a local epa file.

hope this may help you,

Hi Amit

- Download all components you need from swdc.

- Backup your current mdm binaries and the mds/mdis/mdss directory on the server, stop and archive your repository(s), you might take a backup of the database as well

- stop all mdm processes

- delete the old binaries, unpack the new ones, install the client tools and other components as needed (java api...)

- start the mdm and update the repositories in the console (you cannot downgrade the rep to SP04 after that)

- start the reps and test if everything is fine

I personally had no issues, but we are running the mdm server on linux.

Best regards, Michael
