KB 87 (ABAP): Support Pack 5.09 to 6.0 Upgrade

Description

Please follow the following steps to upgrade the PowerConnect application from Support Pack 5.09 to 6.0.

• Log into the managed system where the upgrade is planned, and execute the /n/bmwvs/main transaction.

• Stop the collector job by selecting thec”Stop Collector” button .

• Wait to confirm that all metrics have been sent to Splunk.

• Stop the remaining jobs using the “Toggle Uploader” and the “Stop Check Job” buttons.

• Clean-up all metric tables using the Goto->Truncate cluster functionality. This is needed, since the metric serialization approach is changed, and it might cause issues once uploading is started after upgrade:

• Use SPAM to apply 5.10; 

• Use SAINT to upgrade to 6.0; 

• Transport the hotfixes (STMS) for SP 6.00 if any shared; 

• Activate BC set /BNWVS/BCSET_500 (Tcode=SCPR20) 

• Start PowerConnect Background jobs.
