Hallo Andrea,
For now a description how to update to SAP DB 7.4.3, if you use SDBUPD: 1.) database version is
7.3.00 Build 25 or higher, instance type is OLTP database is in state WARM, system tables are
loaded, database parameters have not been changed since last restart
Uhm... how can I now if system tables are loaded? I usually create the database with a modified version of the TST script, create tables with an sql script loaded by repmcli, then just use it...
2.) stop the database 'dbmcli -d <dbname> -u <usr,pwd> db_offline'
3.) start database in COLD mode 'dbmcli -d <dbname> -u <usr,pwd> db_offline'
The same command first stops the database then turns it into cold mode? I thought that db_offline was intended to turn the database from warm to cold state directly.
4.) make a complete data backup or alternatively as of SAPDB 7.4.03 Build 012 or higher a incremental backup and a log backup 'dbmcli -d <dbname> -u <usr,pwd> backup_start <medium>'
5.) run SDBUPD, you must not start the database after the backup './SDBUPD -d <dbname> -u <usr,pwd>
6.) Your database is updated to 7.4.3 and ONLINE
Ok, the database is updated to 7.4.3. And the software? Should I run sdbinst after the database update or before? Or sdbupd also upgrades the software when the first database instance is upgraded?
Best regards Andrea
PS: I'm running sapdb on windows.
