    cool wiki + great help,  but hard to find this page

    why is this wiki not mentioned in the SUM guide ?

    1. Laszlo Herbert

      Hello Christoph,

      thank you for your feedback.

      It is good to know, that our work is valuable for customers, especially for you.

      The pages can be found in google and we use references in KBAs also.

      The WIKI is referenced also in the Best practice guide which will be sent to customers who downloaded the SUM too, see offline version herel:

      http://scn.sap.com/community/it-management/alm/software-logistics/blog/2015/05/18/best-practices-for-upgrading-sap-systems

      I am not responsible for the  SUM guide, but I have forwarded your query to the authors.

      Best regards,

      Laszlo

        maybe you can also submit the links to this wiki+blog to the SAP-SupportTeam of component BC-UPG-TLS-TLA  , because every time i opened a support-ticket to that team, while waiting (not only hours, but several days) for a really helpful solution to SUM-issues, now i have solved that issue, but did not get any response from that support-team yet, the support of that team is very very poor. (sorry to say that) - thanks.

    Hi Christoph,

    I apologize for the delayed response.

    For the reported error I could find only an old note  2386258, I couldn't find any similar reported case.

    Next time please create an incident or chat if you need support for an error happening during a system update.

    Please attach the related logs also as they contain the exact error message.


    Best regards, Laszlo
