  • DMO simplifies the procedure of a migration to SAP HANA, or SAP ASE, (other database targets are available on request), by combining the upgrade and the migration
  • DMO can be used for ABAP systems that are part of either SAP BW, SAP for Banking, SAP Netweaver  or SAP Business Suite
  • DMO with system move option allows the SAP instance to move to a different host during the upgrade
  • DMO without software change allows the DMO without updating the SAP software

Purpose

This page will help you to prepare for an upgrade using the Database Migration Option (DMO) for the Software Update Manager (SUM),to prevent any issues that will prevent the successful completion of the update and  troubleshoot issues that occur during the Add-on Handling phases

Overview

Helpful notes, troubleshooting tips, documentation, known issues and phases of the DMO for SUM

Troubleshooting tips

  1. Use the latest patch of SUM, most known errors are resolved with the latest SUM patch
  2. Use the latest kernel, kernel tools and DBSL, ensuring that they are patched in both <SUM_DIR>/abap/exe and <SUM_DIR>/abap/exe/2_nd
    Most known errors are resolved using the latest patches of the upgrade tools, kernel and kernel tools (R3load, R3szchk etc)
  3. Analyze the log files, the reason for the stop error will be written to the log file (see table below).
