During a SUM run, you want to check if the PARCONV_UPG phase is still running properly. Where can you find information about this? Note: There are 2 correct answe rs to this question.

Question

Options

• ACheck the running batch job via Job Overview (SM37).
• BCheck for running R3trans processes on the host where SUM is running.
• CCheck for running R3load processes on the host where SUM is running.
• DCheck the latest log files in the SUM directory, subdirectory abap, subdirectory tmp.

• A
  93% (53)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  4% (2)

Explanation

During the PARCONV_UPG (parallel conversion/upgrade) phase in SUM, the process runs ABAP-based parallel conversion jobs in the background SAP system, which is why SM37 (Job Overview) is a valid check point - you can see these batch jobs actively running. SUM's own log directory (SUM/abap/tmp) holds the current active log files for the running phase, giving you real-time insight into progress and any errors. Option B is wrong because R3trans is used for transport/export operations (e.g., moving objects between systems), not for table conversion during upgrades. Option C is wrong because R3load processes are associated with database migration phases (like SHADOW_IMPORT or system copies), not PARCONV_UPG, which relies on ABAP workprocesses rather than R3load.

Memory tip: Think of it as two "windows" into the same process - look inside SAP (SM37 batch jobs) and outside SAP (SUM log files on the OS level). If it involved data migration/transport, you'd think R3load/R3trans - but PARCONV_UPG is an ABAP-driven conversion, so those tools aren't involved.
