Upgrade of NW 6.40 to NW04sSR1 7.00: Error in EXTRACTKRN_PRE

[Former Member]

Hi!

I'm trying to upgrade from NW04 (6.40) to NW04s SR1 (7.00).

Currently I am at Parameter Input phase of PREPARE.

System Details :

"

Source System

SAP Release : WAS-ABAP 6.40 + BW 3.5

DB Version : Max-DB 7.5 Build 27

OS Version : Suse Linux-9 (Kernel2.6.5.7.244)

Target System

SAP Release : WAS-ABAP 7.00 + BW 7.0

DB Version : Max-DB 7.6 Build 18

OS Version : Suse Linux-9 (Kernel2.6.5.7.244 + Glibc-2.3.3-98.61)

"

I keep on getting this error in the Parameter Input module:

ERROR: Extraction of "/sapdb/cds/netweaver2004s/Ker_NW2004sSR1/KN_LINUX_I386_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR" to "/usr/sap/put/exe"

failed. Check log file CAR.SAV for error message.

the Details of CAR.SAV files are as follows:-

=================================================

EXECUTING /usr/sap/put/tools/SAPCAR (/usr/sap/put/tools/SAPCAR) -xf /sapdb/cds/netweaver2004s/Ker_NW2004sSR1/KN_LINUX_I386_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR

SAPCAR: processing archive /sapdb/cds/netweaver2004s/Ker_NW2004sSR1/KN_LINUX_I386_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR (version 2.01)

Process with ID 10798 terminated with status 5

=================================================

This error occurs during the EXTRACTKRN_PRE phase. I went thru the procedures recommended in SAP Note 741249. Still same error.

I even tried to follow , but that did not help me at-all.

Still I am getting the same error.

Please help me.

Thanking you in advance.

I would go to where the sapexe.car file is and try SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXE.CAR /usr/sap/put/exe and see if it successfully extracts. If it fails a decent error sould be there (maybe need to do a chmod 777 on /usr/sap/put/exe).

Hello Paul,

I have already done chmod 777. Even I have tried to uncar the SAPEXE.SAR on my local System using the latest SAPCAR available from the Service Market Place.

Can you suggest some other alternate solution?

Thanking you in advance.

What happened when you uncared it? Did it work into /usr/sap/put/exe?

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the help.

But the issue was with the dowload of the file.

It was not properlly downloaded.

After downloading again it went successfull.
