System Status Check

SUM-Phase: PREP_PRE_CHECK/CHECKSYSSTATUS

ERROR: Your system appears to be in an unsound state. Correct the following issues before you continue:

Solution

The workaround is shared as in SAP Note 1957443 – Check for system status during upgrade preparation (phase CHECKSYSSTATUS).

To solve the problem, correct the start/instance profile and restart the system.

You can also disable the system status check in the configuration file SAPup_add.par under the following conditions:

  • A restart is not possible at this time of the procedure
  • The system runs without any apparent problems

To disable it, the following line must be present in SAPup_add.par:

checksysstatus = 0

(Note: The file SAPup_add.par is located in the bin subdirectory of the SUM directory. If this file does not already exist, create it manually.)

Note that starting and stopping the system can fail if the system status problems are not resolved.
