SolMan 7.1 Upgrade - Cannot Parse XML file

[Former Member]

Hi guys

I'm trying to upgrade from Solution Manager 7.01 to 7.1 but i get this error that i can not have any info on (tried logs, SAP notes and google, absolutely zero hits).

ERROR: Scanning of download directory failed with the following error: More that on top level tag Cannot parse XML file "S:/.../MOPZ_XML_FILE.xml"

Any help?

Thanks

Hi Pedro,

It looks like the XML file has some unwanted characters which is leading to parsing error.

Could you explain the process of how did you create and copy this XML file to required server.

Basically incase you copy the file from windows to Unix some end of line characters get introduced.

Alternatively you may regenarate this XML file once again and copy it to the server which is being upgraded.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, and thanks a lot for your help. I managed to get over the situation. Here is what i have done:

-> I applied an pre-upgrade snapshot to the machine (this is a pure sandbox system, so i had no problems with this)

-> Cleaned the upgrade files directory (all of them: XML, SARs). The files were there before the snapshot, so i deleted them

-> Then, i noticed that i forgot to put the upgrade export in the directory (I don't think that this was the cause of the problem, but who knows...)

-> I recreated the XML file from solution manager

-> I re-copied all the upgrade files to a central directory on the upgrade host.

-> Started SUM from scratch (the snapshot didn't allow me to retake the old one).

This second time i runned SUM, no problem arised.

One important thing: when i was deleting the files XML, SARs, i noticed that there were more XML files on the directory than the MOPz one. I am not sure now that the problem referred to the MOPz file, because i cannot recall the log error exactly. Also i had already applied the snapshot to the VM, so I could not look at the logs again.

These other files, i have no idea what they were. But they could be the source of the problem.

I had the same problem during a SolMan 7.1 upgrade just a couple of weeks ago. 

In my case, the download folder (including the xml file) was on a network share that I had mounted as a drive for the sidadm user on the SolMan host.  But SUM did not seem to be able to read anything from that drive.  But it worked, when I put in the UNC name of the share instead.  So, instead of using Z:\downloads, I used \\fileserver\sharename\downloads, and it worked just fine.

Hi,

can you please check that all the settings in SMSY are correctly maintained for SOLman.

Please check that SLD is running as the validation happens using SLD.

Next thing can you try on another PC or browser.

Hope the directory is accessible and has write permission to the S: directory.

Thanks
