Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: Oracle

Configuring Parallel Processes During the Runtime

This section covers the configuration of parallel processes during the update procedure.

Context

At any time during the update procedure, you can increase or decrease the limits that have been specified for the different types of parallel processes.

For some phases, these changes have an immediate effect. For example, changing the values for R3trans processes during downtime influences the phase TABIM_UPG immediately.

For other phases, you have to carry out the change before the corresponding phase is running. For example, the values for parallel background processes during uptime have to be set before the profiles for the shadow system are created and take effect.
