PowerConnect SP 6.10 Release notes (ABAP)

Post upgrade steps

Please ensure there are no unsent metrics left in the queue before PowerConnect jobs are started again (after SPAM import step). Following options need to be considered: 

• Stop Extractor job and wait until all metrics are sent before the upgrade is actually started. 

• Stop all jobs and execute ‘Goto->Troubleshooting->Truncate cluster’ menu option to cleanup all metrics in the queue.

!Important notes:

• Transport with authorization objects is updated in this version and needs to be re-imported.

• User roles are updated in this release and should be re-imported after upgrade.

Known issues:

• SM37 - In case single job step has multiple spools, not all of them are collected (not specific to current release).

• SM19 - Filter details are not collected in S4/HANA systems (not specific to current release).
