Prerequisites

You have not yet resumed production operation of the SAP system.

Procedure

1. Stop the SAP system as user <sid>adm.

   Give the database parameters the values they had before the update.

2. Make the database capable of being recovered again. This step depends on whether archiving is switched on or off:

   • Archiving switched off

     Since the log mode is reset to the original value after the update, you have to back up the database completely in operating mode ADMIN before you can start production operation again. You can only continue the update in operating mode ONLINE.

   • Archiving switched on

     We recommend that you make a full backup so that you do not have to restore all the logs again if you need to recover the database.

     You can make an incremental online backup instead of a full backup. However, we recommend that you make a full backup as soon as possible after the incremental backup.

3. Start the SAP system as user <sid>adm again.
