In the last three weeks, I ran several upgrades to SP12 on Solution Manager 7.1 Systems with different source release. Here, I would like to share my experiences.
All the systems I was handling are Solution Manager 7.1. with NW 7.02. SP release was SP10 or SP11.
Prerequisites for the upgrade to SP12
- SPAM has to be updated to version 53
- ST-ICC Package needs to installed / updated to Version 200
Problems during upgrade
1. I got twice a deadlock situation in the main import for package SAPKB70215
Main import
Transport request : SAPKB70215
System : E2E

autorepeat is set to automatic, therefore this import is tried again

The problem could only be solved by stopping R/3 (not the database) and running imp all from command line...
tp R3I ALL E2E pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_E2E.PFL -Dclientcascade=yes -Dstoponerror=8 -Drepeatonerror=8 -Dsourcesystems=
tag=SPAM&
2. Shortdump at the end of import
CALL_FUNCTION_PARM_UNKNOWN - Exception: CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_NOT_FOUND
Function parameter "EV_NO_EDIT" is unknown.
=> just restart SPAM
3. Additional Notes after Upgrade
In the follow-up steps including solman_setup the notes 2025884, 2020219 and 2042820 should be imported
Issues after the upgrade
Here I would like to describe some issues which were occurred after the upgrade
1. Missing UISAPUI5 and UI_INFRA Packages
In the Support Package Stack for SP12 are only the Packages for UISAPUI5 and UI_INFRA until Version 7. We found out that without the newer package versions 8 or 9 issues with the Technical Monitoring WoC and with sm_crm are occurring. After implementing relases 8 and 9 of these packages, the issues were solved.
2. ST-A/PI 01R was missing. Meanwhile, ST-A/PI release 01R is in the Download Stack for SP12 and can be implemented via TA SAINT.
3. After the upgrade a lot of shortdumps were arising: OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO -> CL_ICMON_IFCHANNEL============CP
-> could be solved after updating the content in solman_setup -> Technical Monitoring
