Hi,

Please check below note.

Note 130683 - SAPCAR, CAR can't query current working directory

Try to call SAPCAR like this.

Ligin to SIDADM

cdexe

SAPCAR -xvf <path of the file SAPEXEDB_402-20005193.SAR>

Just remember that before executing the command create a directory ABCD with SIDAdm give the permission of the directory 777 . Move the file in the directory ABCD. Give the file 777. Try to create ABCD in work directory in /usr/sap/SID/DV*/work and see what happens.

If this does not works try

From the kernel it looks that your system is SAP KERNEL 7.20 64-BIT AIX 64bit ORACLE. Can you try to download the Latest SAPCAR of 720 kernel.

Try executing "fuser R3ldctl" to see if any active processing using the file

Make sure owner of file is same as user that is running SAPCAR.

Were you trying to uncar the files in the kernel directory?

Please remember to follow the note when you are doing this kernel upgrade.

Note 1636252 - Installing a 7.20 kernel in SAP Web AS 7.00/7.01/7.10/7.11

Note 1629598 - SAP Kernel 720 will replace older kernel versions

Hi,

It is not able to replace the existing file. Copy the SAPEXEDB* and SAPEXE* file in a separate directory and copy SAPCAR from exe to this directory and then uncar it. Hope so, it will work.

Hi Raz,

I faced the same issue and get resolved by following these steps

copy sapcar.exe in different folder and start extracting:

e.g Copy .SAR files in xyz folder on desktop and sapcar.exe in xyz/abc folder on destop, and execute this command:

C:\Users\..........\Desktop\xyz> abc\sapcar.exe -xvf *.sar

It would be easier to just toss sapcar.exe into the Windows directory so any user can just call it directly (due to the Windows variable.  Another option is to update the PATH variable to include sapcar.

For a non Windows platform I assume you can place sapcar in /bin, /usr/bin and be able to reference sapcar from anywhere in the server.  Or like Windows update your variables to call sapcar and place it in a directory like /opt.
