The SAP upgrade technology offers two upgrade strategies:

downtime-minimized and resource-minimized.

Choose the strategy that is best suited to your SAP system and to your requirements concerning system availability. Your decision depends on two factors:

1.Maximum permitted downtime

2.System resources

Characteristics of Upgrade Strategy Downtime-Minimized:

1.Parallel operation of production system and shadow system

2.Higher demand on system resources

3.Shorter downtime

4.Import of the substitution set into the shadow tables during production operation

5.Modification adjustment of the ABAP Dictionary objects during production operation

6.Activation and distribution during production operation

Characteristics of Upgrade Strategy Resource-Minimized:

1.Operation of production and shadow system only possible independently of each other

2.Production operation stops before import of substitution set into shadow tables or, at the latest,before shadow instance is started for first time.

3.Increased downtime

4.No ICNV

Why!Do you have any problems with this.

Its there in the upgrade guide.So I have copied it from guide.

Should we not copy.Should it be our own.

In my opinion, there is no added value to copy and paste documentation in a forum thread.

Especially when you don't tell the source...(Copyright Issue)

The standard practice is to publish an URL link.

You are free to do what you want as long as the moderators are OK with it...

You can upgrade the system patch level, database level, stack, system version, etc, etc, etc....
