Symptom

Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
Smoke tests are usually created solely as a warm up for the system and to check if the logs are posted successfully. Before the post-upgrade test plans get executed, pre-checks for the upgrade-relevant test processes are run in the background. After the pre-checks are complete, the smoke tests and start-up test plans are triggered. The post upgrade test plans are executed only when the smoke tests and start-up test plans are complete.
Resolution
Any errors during the smoke test phase can be Ignored, as long as the execution passes more than 0%. It indicates the warm up has been completed and the real PUT processes should be correctly triggered.
To check the progress of the smoke test plans:
- Access the Test Your Processes app.
- Search for test plans with prefix "SMOKE".
- Check the progress of the test plans.
In case the smoke tests plans show no progress - remaining at 0% -, report a case to SAP Support.
