[QUESTION] File CONOTRL.SQL is not being created!!

50 Views

Dear experts,

I am doing a Java refresh from our production to our development system.

I have first restored the oracle 11 database. As it is NetWeaver 7.3 EHP1, it

should be possible to do a refresh or system copy using the backup/restore

method, which according to SAP is supported for v. 7.3.

Afterwards, I started SWPM for NetWeaver 7.3 in order to do a target system

installation, in order to manage the mess with the java IDs.

Though this installation is asking for a file, named CONTROLSQL or CONTROL.SQL

(both names are mentioned in different parts of the same screen!! How

confusing, dear SAP !!!)

Then at the bottom of this infamous window, there is an explanation, that the file

is being created during the source system export preparation.

Grrr, fine!! I went to the source system, inflated quickly another SWPM there, did

the export preparation and... GUESS WHAT !! No CONTROLSQL or CONTROL.SQL

file!! Nor in the install directory (which I have separate - not /tmp), neither in the

export location. And I even searched in /tmp and nothing like this !!

Now I am exporting the entire source system while it is running !! (can't shutdown

the production!). Where is this file pleasseeeeee...???

I have done the same procedure on another project with MSSQL Server and it

went flawlessly without any control sql-files!!

Thanks a lot for your help!!
