SUM reading wrong SCA files

444 Views

Hi,


We are confronted by an issue with SUM in our solman development system

upgrade. This has resulted in a hault of our solman patch

upgrade.


What we are doing (or intend to do) -


We wanted to upgrade our Solman Java's J2EE Core componetns as per SAP

Note# 1893013 to the latest patch level available in market palce.

In other words, we wanted to upgrade following components as follows -


SAP-JEE 7.02 SP15 (1000.7.02.15.0.20141002164600) TO 7.02 SP15

(1000.7.02.15.5.20141002164600)

SAP-JEECOR 7.02 SP15 (1000.7.02.15.0.20160310055015) TO 7.02 SP15

(1000.7.02.15.24.20160310055015)

SAP_JTECHF 7.02 SP15 (1000.7.02.15.0.20160211045334) TO 7.02 SP15

(1000.7.02.15.16.20160211045334)

SAP_JTECHS 7.02 SP15 (1000.7.02.15.0.20160211045605) TO 7.02 SP15

(1000.7.02.15.21.20160211045605)



What we did -


We downloaded latest available SUM tool in market place -

SUM10SP17_4-20006543.SAR and started our upgrade (following guide for

example - running by root and using new command - ./STARTUP

confighostagent <SID> etc)

There we choose above mentioned 4 components and their target release

and continued. Not to say, we choose manual update in SUM



What SUM has done until now-

SUM is at step "Deploy Software Components" - 50% complete and now in

error. We see that all above 4 components have been upgraded to their

desired level in system status.



What is the issue we face now -

Unfortunately, EPS inbox had a lot of other patches in it from previous

upgrades of different systems which we didn't cleared. And now somehow

SUM has read the whole directory and stops with following error -


Jul 21, 2016 7:34:45 AM Info: Loading archive

'/usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SECURITYEXT07P_5-10008748.SCA'

Jul 21, 2016 7:34:46 AM Error: This SDA has a software type assigned

that is not supported: CONTENT.

Jul 21, 2016 7:34:46 AM Error:

AG/0/7.3007.20120924153323.0000/sc~security-ext.sda: This SDA has a

software

type assigned that is not supported: CONTENT.


SUM is giving these errors for following components only (though we

surely have other unwanted patch files as well in inbox)-


'/usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPCRMJAV04_149-20008034.SCA'

Loading archive '/usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPCRMWEB04_149-20008033.SCA'

Loading archive '/usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPXIESR07P_23-10008104.SCA'


What we have tried as of now -

I deleted these files from inbox as they are not needed but then SUM

said it couldn't find the files!

Actually SUM creates a file (like telnet does)

/usr/sap/S2D/SUM/sdt/tmp/deploy_list.txt and it makes entries for above

SCAs and search for them.


My Question -

Why SUM is looking for the components which we didn't selected in the

first place.


Why SUM is checking these components (that they are invalid) during

execution phase and not in "checks" phase ?


Most important question is ----- >>> Now what is the way to

tell SUM that we don't need these components and it can proceed without

them ?
