Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: IBM Db2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows

Updates in an MCOD System Landscape

As of SAP Web Application Server 6.10, you can update systems in a Multiple Components in One Database (MCOD) system landscape. Note the following when you update an SAP system in an MCOD system landscape:

  • At the start of the update, the Software Update Manager determines automatically whether there is more than one SAP system installed in the database. If there is more than one SAP system installed in the database, you are not prompted about archiving. Archiving is automatically activated during the entire update.

  • We recommend not to perform parallel updates in MCOD systems. A restore that is necessary for one SAP system affects all SAP systems in the database and thereby affects other updates.
