Dear experts,
we are performin an upgrade to EHP7. We have 2 separate systems ERP 6.0 EHP 3 and portal 7.0 and the upgrade is going to achieves the EHP 7 on ERP and the NW 7.4 on portal.
Right now, we are facing an issue on the portal upgrade. On the configuration phase (on the SUM tool), and on the "Build list for the upgrade" step. The system shows an error with the patch SAP_ESS 633 (is the one that we are going to install with the upgrade), the error is the following one:
Oct 7, 2014 5:43:02 PM [Info ]: Component with name SAP_ESS, vendor sap.com, and release $(2) has predecessor with the same name in start release.
Oct 7, 2014 5:43:02 PM [Info ]: Component name SAP_ESS vendor sap.com provider SAP AG has 1 modified predecessors
Oct 7, 2014 5:43:02 PM [Info ]: Predecessor component name SAP_ESS vendor sap.com is considered modified because it has the different provider PTD
Oct 7, 2014 5:43:02 PM [Info ]: Dialog eliminator ConfirmComponentsDialogEliminator does not allow to omit dialog ConfirmComponents
Searching some information on the Internet, we have found that the error is caused by a dependency with a modification implemented on the previous package (the current on the system) SAP_ESS 600, through NWDI.
We have tried to import the SAP_ESS 633 (the newest one) on a new track on NWDI to the consolidation tab and export the SCA file. After that, we have included the new SCA file generated on NWDI in our upgrade folder and re-launch the upgrade process, but we still in the same error. After that, we have realised that our development system does not have the SAP_ESS 600 installed, but this package is already installed on quality and production environments.
We are wondering if we are doing well, i mean, if the procedure that we follow to re-generate the SAP_ESS 633 is the correct one? In that case, how can we re-generate the package SAP_ESS 633 in development environment if this system does not have the previous package installed?
can you help us please?
a lot of thanks in advance
best regards
