Splunk App Upgrade Guide for SAP PowerConnect App 7.3.0

...

Important: Please note that an upgrade to the PowerConnect Splunkbase version 7.0.+ will require a restart of the search head where the existing app is installed. Therefore, the upgrade needs to be scheduled within your organization’s maintenance windows because the search head will temporarily be unavailable.

BEFORE COMPLETING THE UPGRADE: For Splunk Cloud customers running PowerConnect Splunk app versions 7.0.0-7.2.0, please refer to Knowledge Base #173 to address a bug specific to Splunk Cloud that may prevent the Master Inventory Lookup (and potentially other KVstore-based lookups) from generating properly.

...

  1. Open the dashboard "Wizard for New SAP SIDs and Instances Discovery" under PowerConnect menu. Select Click the “Run” button for the checkboxes corresponding to the savedsearch "Master Inventory Lookup - Run Once Only.“ Click on the "Run Searches" buttoncorresponding searches. “SAP Systems - Lookup Gen” will create a new source lookup to be used throughout the app. The status of the search would get updated in the Status column of the table and the user can view the search results once the search has completed by clicking in the table cell.

  2. On Splunk's menu bar, Click on Settings -> "Searches, reports, and alerts" and manually run the saved search “Master Inventory Lookup - Run Once Only”. In case of a large number of events, if savedsearch execution does not get completed, try to reduce the time range and populate the lookup.

  1. If you want to convert your existing master inventory lookup to the new sap_systems lookup, please run the search below (run without the final outputlookup line to test the output):
