Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: SAP MaxDB

Changing the SAP MaxDB Database Recovery Mode

Use

You need to change the recovery mode of the database at the beginning and end of downtime.

Procedure

  • At the start of downtime:

    The Software Update Manager automatically deactivates archiving.

  • At the end of downtime:

    Archiving can only be reactivated by making a full backup in operating mode ADMIN.

    That is why the update can be continued only after you have made a backup of the database, if archiving is deactivated.
