Pre-requisites

If you want to upgrade MS SQL Server 2005 for an existing SAP system, you must meet the following prerequisites: 1. You use Windows Server 2003 SP2 or higher. 2. You use an SAP system based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3, SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP1 SR1, or SAP

NetWeaver 7.1, and higher with the minimum recommended support package level for SQL Server 2008 (R2).

3. You have imported the latest SAP kernel patches, dbsl library, and support packages, making sure that

you apply at least the minimum level mentioned above. 4. You can find these patches on SAP Service Marketplace. 5. If your SQL Server release is SQL Server 2005, make sure that you have applied SP2 to your system

before you upgrade your system to SQL Server 2008 (R2). 6. If you installed the SQL Server 2005 database software with the SQL4SAP.VBS script or manually, only

the SQL Server features that are required for the operation of the SAP application were installed. 7. If you installed additional SQL Server features, for example, Analysis Services, Report Services,

Integration Services and SQL Server Replication, check the SQL Server Books Online for any upgrade restrictions and steps.

8. You have backed up your SQL Server database. 9. You have shut down the SAP system. 10. SQL Server 2008 (R2) requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (x64) or Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

(IA64, Windows Server 2003). 10.1. Windows Server 2008 R2:

10.1.1. Add the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 feature as follows:

10.1.2. Log on as local administrator.

Pre-Upgrade steps

Before starting upgrade of MS SQL Server 2005 to 2008 (R2), please do below mentioned steps. These steps are necessary to be executed.

Stopping ABAP engine

You need to login to system where you have ABAP serer installed as an Administrator. Start SAP MMC.

Right click on ABAP Server Instance (In this document, we are working on J10 instance) and select “Stop”. It will ask you user name and password, please provide Administrator credentials.

Stopping engine service

It’s very important to stop running ABAP engine services because ABAP engine will be accessible database and due to this you may encounter some issue during your DB Server upgrade. For this, open service manager (Start -> Run -> services.msc). Stop all running SAP<SAPSID>_* services. If we don’t stop these services then in between upgrade of DB, engine will try to start by itself.

Backup of <SAPSID> DB Instance

It’s very important to take backup before we start our upgrade of DB to 2008 (R2).

To do this follow below steps:

1. Start SQL Server Management studio (Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> SQL Server Management Studio).

2. Connect to SQL server by providing credentials.

3. Right click on <SAPSID> DB, go to Tasks and select Back Up…

4. Take Full Backup of <SAPSID> DB and provide location to keep it and click on OK.

Run the SAP tools for MS SQL Server

This program performs the post-upgrade steps that are required for SAP ABAP products running on SQL Server 2008 (R2). For more information, see SAP Note 683447.

Proceed as follows:

1. Download the zip file that includes the SAP tools for MS SQL Server from http://service.sap.com/msplatforms -> SQL Server

2. Extract it to an empty local directory on the database server.

3. Run sapinst.exe, and choose Upgrade to MS SQL Server 2005 or higher.

4. Start SAP<SID>_* services in services.msc.

5. Start the SAP system.

6. Connect with a database administrator logon to the SQL Server 2008 (R2) Management Studio and execute the following commands:

use <SID> – where <SID> is your SAP database go EXEC sp_updatestats go

7. It takes some time to replace the old SQL Server index statistics with new SQL Server 2008 (R2) statistics. You can execute this while the SAP system is online.
