This part of the document contains information about the follow-up activities that you need to perform after you have updated your SAP system.

When you perform follow-up activities, note the following information:

• Perform the actions described in Quick Guide in the specified order.

• Before you start the follow-up activities, the Software Update Manager needs to have reached the MODPROFP_UPG phase. The Software Update Manager stops in the MODPROFP_UPG phase and prompts you to start several follow-up activities. It then executes the last phases and completes the procedure. At the same time, you can already perform the specified follow-up activities.

The follow-up activities are divided into three blocks:

• Actions needed before resuming production operation

  These actions ensure that all the processes that are relevant to system operation are available again. You can start these actions while the Software Update Manager is finishing the update.

• Actions during limited production operation

  During this time, your SAP system is already consistent and all the processes that are relevant to system operation are available. However, this system state does not yet contain measures for optimizing performance, or actions for resuming standard operation (resuming background processing, or adjusting authorizations, for example). Check the actions that are listed in this block and if necessary, perform them before you restart production operation.

• Actions during production operation

  You can also perform these actions when the system is back to production operation.
