1920457 - HANA upgrade: skip plug-in dependency check

Symptom
When upgrading the SAP HANA database 1.0, you deliberately want to deactivate the SAP HANA plug-ins that are active in your system and force the upgrade of the SAP HANA database 1.0. This SAP Note describes which SAP HANA plug-ins you can deactivate and how to do so. It also describes how you can handle the SAP HANA plug-ins subsequently.
This SAP Note applies to the following SAP HANA plug-ins:
1) SAP application function libraries (AFLs)
  • SAP HANA AFL
  • SAP POS AFL FOR HANA
  • SAP SAL AFL FOR HANA
  • SAP SCA AFL FOR HANA
  • SAP SOP AFL FOR HANA
  • SAP UDF AFL FOR HANA
2) SAP liveCache Applications (also known as SAP HANA LCAPPS or LCAPPS plug-in)


Other Terms
Failed update of SAP HANA database, plugin dependency check


Reason and Prerequisites
Your SAP HANA database update terminated with an error message stating that the SAP HANA database was not compatible with the installed SAP HANA plug-ins. This may be because the SAP HANA plug-ins installed on your system were ignored during the update.


Solution
If you use SAP SCM/APO and the LCAPPS plug-in for SAP HANA-integrated liveCache, please read SAP Note 2223318 first. Otherwise, we recommend repeating the update and taking into account the SAP HANA plug-ins that are relevant to you when selecting the components to be updated.
In special cases, you can force the SAP HANA database update by circumventing the plug-in dependency check. The SAP HANA plug-ins installed on your system are then deactivated.
IMPORTANT: Deactivating the SAP HANA plug-ins on the SAP HANA database disrupts the operation of SAP applications using the SAP HANA plug-ins. SAP applications that use the application function libraries or the SAP HANA-integrated liveCache are affected.
To force the database update, call the update tool (hdblcm) at command line level with the following option as root:

./hdblcm --action=update --hdbupd_server_ignore=check_plugin_dependencies --ignore=check_component_dependencies

Then follow the installation instructions.
Postprocessing: You can then either reactivate or uninstall the SAP HANA plug-ins.
  • To reactivate the SAP HANA plug-ins, you must re-install them.

    Proceed as described in the SAP HANA server installation and update guide. This document is available on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance under Installation and Update -> SAP HANA Server Installation and Update Guide.

  • Alternatively, you can also uninstall the SAP HANA plug-ins, provided they are no longer in use. Uninstallation of the SAP HANA plug-ins is also explained in the SAP HANA Server Installation and Update Guide.
