What is required to avoid compatibility issues after upgrading an SAP HANA system?

To avoid compatibility issues after upgrading an SAP HANA system, it is crucial to focus on maintaining the integrity of the system's backups and schedules. Deleting all backup schedules with the SAP HANA cockpit 1.0 ensures that any existing schedules that may not be compatible with the new version of SAP HANA are removed. This step is important because the structure and settings of backup schedules could change with an upgrade, potentially leading to failed backups or restore operations if old schedules are still in place.

By removing outdated backup schedules, administrators can create new ones that align with the upgraded system's functionalities and requirements, ensuring that the backup process operates smoothly and without unexpected errors. This proactive measure is part of the best practices for system upgrades, allowing for a fresh configuration that supports the new system's capabilities.

Creating new backup schedules after the upgrade complements the process initiated by deleting the old ones, but it is the deletion of the old schedules that directly addresses compatibility issues. Ensuring users are logged out and reinstalling software are not necessary steps for preventing compatibility issues following an upgrade, making them less relevant in this context.
