Hi Michael,
sorry, there is no such way.
you can update using the following steps:
1. create a backup of your database.
2. unregister database:
dbmcli -d <db name> -u <dbm user>,<dbm passwd> db_offline
dbmcli -d <db name> -u <dbm user>,<dbm passwd> db_drop WITHOUTFILES
3. stop communication server:
x_server stop
4. become root user:
su -
5. remove software:
rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep sapdb`
6. remove old software configs:
rm -rf /var/spool/sql
7. install new software:
rpm -Uhv maxdb-*.rpm
8. add your os user to db admin group:
usermod <os user> -G <your group list>,sdba
9. move parameter files and rundirectory:
mv /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/config/<db name>* /var/opt/sdb/data/config/
mv /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data/wrk/<db name> /var/opt/sdb/data/wrk/
chown -R sdb.sdba /var/opt/sdb/data/config/ /var/opt/sdb/data/wrk
10. chown sdb.sdba for all volumes and backups
