SAPup cant open START profile

229 Views

Hi, I have the strangest problem and dont seem to be able to locate the cause of it.

I want to upgrade from 4.7/200 to ECC6 but I cant get SAPup to start. Here is what happens...I run the prepare.bat from the Original Location to which I copied the entire CD...G:\SW\ECC6UP\UM\prepare.bat

This then requests the upgrade directory...which I provide as C:\usr\sap\put

the neccessary extraction takes place and I then start the upgrade assistant as per the instrauctions in the manual. ( I have also just gone directly using scroll, so I dont think it has anything to to with Java etc).

The initialisation program runs and I confirm the Upgrade directory, instance name and system number...this being 01

The sapup program then immeditaly terminates with the error message:

WARNING: unable to open SAP start profile

"C:\usr\sap\ERP\SYS\profile\START_DVEBMGS01_ERPSRV32"

I just dont seem to be able to find the reason for this....I have double and tripple checked the security on the folder etc as well as physically on the profile files them selves....

The path to the START Profile is correct and simply copy and pasting the above path into the "run" causes the profile to open...so it isnt a problem with misspelling or anything. I have tried reinstalling the instance....didnt help...

I dont know what additoinal info I can provide here, but I have run out of ideas as to what may be causing the problem. PLEASE someone help!!!!

I have even change the START PROFILE A LITTLE so that it doesnt have LONG lines...I know there was a problem with them being longer than 80 characters or somthing.

here is what my start profile looks like...and yes it does work..and the instances do start up.
