Hi,

I am upgrading NW from 7.02 to 7.3 now and an error occurs in the 'Check' phase.

ERROR: Found contradicting entry for 'SETENV_00': 'DIR_LIBRARY=$(DIR_LIBRARY)' != 'DB2_CLI_DRIVER_INSTALL_PATH=$(DIR_EXECUTABLE)/db6_clidriver'!

System: Suse Linux 11.

Could anyone help me please? Thank you.

Hi,

Actually I have a query regarding Big Endian and Little Endian, During the Export of Database, Target Hardware Platform need to be mention as Big Endian or Little Endian (screenshot attached). Now my concern is this, suppose we are migrating from Windows to AIX and I selected my target system as Little Endian (but ofcourse AIX memory architecture is Big Endian). Will I be able to import my DB in AIX although I mentioned my target system as Little Endian. If NO, what need to be done?

Shall I take the complete export again or with some modification we can import it in AIX.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear All,

I have a HTML5 Application which hosted on SAP Enterprise Portal. My Application run only in the IE Standard mode, but Enterprise mode.

If the Enterprise mode is enabled, there was some rendering issue, where all the UI's are displayed in the left side

When ever i click my application url, Enterprise mode is automatically Enabled. i had to disable every time when i access my application.

I have two question.

1. Mostly Web Application must run on both the modes . why the application run only on Standard mode but enterprise mode?

     When i checked about the functionality of Enterprise mode, i came to know that if the application does not work on Standard mode, enabling      Enterprise mode make it work . if the application still not work, maintaining the application url in the compatablity view settings make it work.

2. I have found a way to disable the Enterprise mode from Group policy editor(gpedit.msc) and regedit.

     Is there any way we can disable permanently from Browser setting? not to involve group policy editor and register edit

Appreciate your reply.

Thanks ,

Hi Experts,

Need your help. Currently we are facing issue in KM multiple uploads.We have Multiple upload option in K8D which is development environment but we are not seeing that option in Production Environment. Please find the screenshots as below ::

Screenshot for K8P (Multiple Upload option not available) ::

Screenshot for K8D (Multiple Upload option available) ::

We tried to check the settings in K8D and K8P everything is similar. There is no difference so we need experts advise on this issue what we need to do to make multiple uploads available in KM. Since this is a standard functionality but it is only availble in our Development tool.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am starting this post to get benefit on the Netweaver upgrades discussion. In our organization, we are working on Proof of concept for Netweaver portal upgrade to 740 release.

I am working on building a POC system with our Quality portal  java system copy and then upgrading it to latest NW 740 SP11 release.

Current environment = SAP EHP 3 for SAP Netweaver 7.0 (NW 7.02, SP15)

Could someone help me here with the upgrade documentation and steps to be considered before going into the upgrade?

I am exploring on the preparation work, but it will be helpful if someone who has upgraded their portal to 7.4 can share their experience and tips during the upgrade?

Also would like to know if there will be any dependency on migrating the ESS, MSS components which off 600 release to NW 7.4 portal environment?

Do we need to consider any prerequisite for these components during this upgrade?

Really appreciate sharing your experience and knowledge on this.

Thanks,

Prasanna

We have a requirement to upgrade our existing ESS/MSS portal from it's current version of 7.02 SP11 to at least 7.31 (preferably higher, i.e. 7.4). Our back end ECC 6.0 system is on EHP 5 with NW 7.02 SP11. I've read the following blog, but it does not make any reference to NW stack of the back end system:

http://scn.sap.com/community/enterprise-portal/migration-and-upgrade/blog/2013/01/09/upgrading-to-nw-portal-73-what-to-do-with-essmss

My question is, can we upgrade the ESS/MSS portal (knowing that we would have to install ESS 633 on this new portal instead of the current ESS 603) without upgrading either NW stack or ECC of our back end system?

Thanks,

Hi All,

We are planning to upgrade portal to 7.0 to 7.3.

Dear Expert,

We are upgrading our portal from 7.02 to 7.4, there are some ESS/MSS WDJ objects which is standard SAP provided but has been deployed by NWDI tracks in source portal i.e. 7.02. Our client is interested in keeping ESS/MSS WDJ only and don't want to move to WDA.

While using SUM tool for upgrade, the tool is not picking the ESS/MSS component assuming it is custom development...we are not sure what all the changes was done in Standard ESS/MSS package in 7.02. We are left with 2 choices -

1. Re-import the standard ESS/MSS component in source porta 7.02 and then upgrade via SUM tool

2. Upgrade to 7.4 and then apply ESS/MSS package.

Can you suggest which approach would be good..?

Also...still the custom development in source portal is haunting us...is there any way to know via source code or any other method ...the chnages which has been done in standard ESS/MSS package.

Hello

We are upgrading Portal from 7.02 to 7.4 and stuck at the downtime/execution phase

JDK version........: 1.6.0_85 SAP AG

SUM version........: 1.0.11.8

Source release.....: 7.02

Target release.....: 7.40

ABAP stack present.: false

An error has occurred during the execution of the Delete remote bootstrap jars step with action execute. Service com.sap.sdt.j2ee.services.servicesimpl.RemoteExecutionService failed with the following message:

Could not execute command "\\passp1\sapmnt\SP1\SYS\exe\jvm\NTAMD64\sapjvm_6.1.071\sapjvm_6\bin\java.exe -cp \\passp1\sapmnt\SP1\SYS\global/sdtremote/sdt_trace.jar;\\passp1\sapmnt\SP1\SYS\global/sdtremote/sdt_util.jar;\\passp1\sapmnt\SP1\SYS\global/sdtremote/sdt_tools.jar;\\passp1\sapmnt\SP1\SYS\global/sdtremote/sap.com~tc~sec~csi.jar com.sap.sdt.tools.remote.SdtRemoteOperationsExecutor deleteBootstrapJars e:/usr/sap/SP1/J01 SWITCH_UPGRADE" on instance 1 on host as1sp1 using the sapcontrol web service at http://as1sp1:50113. Check if sapcontrol is running and the log file SUM_1415290308665.log in the sapcontrol work directory. In case of permissions issues, check SAP note 927637.

You can find more information in the files E:\CDs\SUM\SUM\sdt\log\SWITCH\DELETE-REMOTE-BOOTSTRAP-JARS_44.LOG and ProcessOverview.html.

Use the information provided to trouble-shoot the problem. There might be an OSS note providing a solution to this problem. Search for OSS notes with the following search terms:

SWITCH,execute,pre-component-deploy,delete-remote-bootstrap-jars,com.sap.sdt.j2ee.services.servicesimpl.RemoteExecutionService,class com.sap.sdt.tools.sapcontrolws.SapControlWsException

We have already tried the below:

1600846 - JSPM/SUM calls sapcontrol without

user credentials

1563660 - sapcontrol, <sid>adm authorization issues

(SUM) (we gave DEFAULT, NONE - nothing worked)

Gave full permisssion (everyone, sidadm, SAPServiceSID)

to sapmnt/saploc/ entire sap folder in BOTH primary and secondary

app servers.

Hi SCN,

I've got a bit of a nasty problem during an upgrade.

System is running on enterprise linux 6 and with a Oracle DB 11.2.0.3

According to MOPZ:

Source release:

Target Release:

The upgrade didn't get any farther than the calculation of the queue and then it stopped mentioning that it was missing files for RTLPOSDM to be able to calculate the queue.

Since BI_CONT was on a reasonably old version (and still with the RTLPOSDM packages included in BI_CONT) I decided to upgrade to BI_CONT 707 and RTLPOSDM 100_700. AFfer installing this, this is now the source release.

SBOP PC 7.5 FOR SAP NW    SP Stack 01 (Add-on)

SAP POS DM 1.0 (Add-on)

SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0   11 (03/2012) (Netweaver)

When running MOPZ now I do get the following warnings, which are worrying me slightly :-)

Has anyone else come across this problem or any experience in upgrading from NW 7.0 EHP1 to NW 7.4? I've done an upgrade from a BW 7 Ehp1 to BW 7.3 Ehp1 in the past .But there was no RTLPOSDM component (logically since it was not a retail customer)

Thanks in advance for your help/tips/suggestions.

Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade our EP (Java only) from NW 7.0 to NW 7.4. We did a test on a POC server last Summer and it went fine.

Now, it's time to do real upgrade on our servers; of course, the old SUM version doesn't work anymore. I used MOPZ to generate new stack files, download the latest components and all.

Somehow, the SUM kept failing at step 5.5 - Preprocessing when it tries to Start shadow instance SCS.

The log only indicates that SUM tried to start the instance a 20 times (with 15-second pauses in between) so it gave up. The last part of the log shows

------------------------

javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Invalid Credentials

--------------------------

The only SAP Note I found is 1937296 where it says you'd need the latest kernel. But I've already had the latest kernel.

What bothers me is "Invalid Credentials" --> which credentials?

I tried several different things. Reset the upgrade, cleaned up the SUM directory, re-start the upgrade from scratch several times. I've also tried to re-start the instance; even re-started the server a couple of times ... to no avail :-(

I also tried to run the sapstartsrv command line

## ../SUM/sdt/data/kernel/sapstartsrv pf=../../DPK_SCS02_mydev -D

and I'd get the error

--------------------

Could not open the ICU common library.

   The following files must be in the path described by

   the environment variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH":

   libicuuc.so.50, libicudata.so.50, libicui18n.so.50 [/bas/741_REL/src/flat/nlsui0.c 1535] pid = 18978

Any help and/or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
