Database Migration Option: Target Database SAP MaxDB

Configuration

In this roadmap step, SUM asks for all information required to run the update with DMO.

The following actions are carried out:

  • Configuration of processes and other performance relevant parameters

DMO-specific actions:

  • Provision of connection parameters and users of the target database

  • Check of the pre-installed target database client on the DMO host.

  • Extraction of kernel for target database

  • Upload of additional packages, customer transport requests, and modifications

Further features:

  • When you execute a migration to the target database, select either the Standard or Downtime-optimized scenario strategy in the initial dialogs of SUM. The option Single System is not intended for DMO. For more information about the options, see in the SUM Guide the section Start of the navigation pathPlanning Next navigation step Initial Dialogs for the Specification of the ScenarioEnd of the navigation path.

  • The number of R3load processes, which you can set in the phase PREP_CONFIGURATION/INITSUBST, is the only visible parameter that affects the migration performance in the downtime. Note that you can configure the number of processes dynamically at a later point in time.

  • In the new DMO-specific phases, you provide connection data and user credentials for the target database.
