JSPM_MAIN Phase SDM unable to read inbox dir error

[Former Member]

Hello

I am trying to update the JSPM kernel via SDM and The error message I am getting is "Cannot detect new components in Inbox directory. Error while analyzing the content of the inbox directory. Canno detect new kernel and SDM archives. Cannot detect if there are SDM archives in directory /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in. Could not extract SDM patch archive /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SDMKIT.jar to read its version information. java.util.zip.ZipExecution: invalid END header (bad directory size)/

You can find more information in the log file /usr/sap/PID/DVEBMSG70/j2ee/JSPM/log/log_2008_0_22_01_11_54/JSPM_MAIN_1_01.LOG

Also it says to look at

com.sap.sdt.jspm.phases.PhaseTypeJSPM

com.sap.sdt.jspm.wizard.model.WizardStep.Execution

Cannot detect new components in inbox directory

Hi. How you patch the JSPM? i'm think you run patching the SDM , not JSPM -->

"During SDM patch, JSPM extracts the SDMkit.jar to a temporary directory"

About JSPM patching you need read the Note 886296.

Regards. Award if helpful.

We have not patched JSPM ....we are actually trying to patch the JSPM and not SDM.

The note refers to that. We have perfromed the part of deleting the Jspm.J2EE.DataModel.xml file from the /usr/sap/<SID>/<Central instance name>/j2ee/JSPM/data/variables but continue to get the same error message.

JSPM and SDM both start as they should and are running currently.

Refer to note 701330

Would you please check whether the owner and permission of /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SDMKIT*.JAR are OK.

All

This problem remains open, infact SAP is still investigating the matter.

Since this is on a iSeries system, the knowledge is not there. We did solve the problem by applying all the patches via SDM.

Furthermore this is a known problem in NW2004s or NW 7 (SP14) - please see notes

Note 1145616 - SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS14, Patch 01 Release info (03/17/2008)

Note 1152537 - SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS14, Patch 02 Release info (03/19/2008)

Hi ,

It seems that you have not put your .sca file in your usr/sap/trans/eps/in.

So it could not read the file,

You can also apply the patches from JSPM,

even jspm patch can be uploaded from jspm itself, So just try using jspm you can find this in j2ee/jspm/go.bat

Just start it using the sdm password also make sure that you have enough space in eps/in and also in jspm/inbox directory.

Regards,

Vamshi.

Hi Danial,

From the error message it seems like /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SDMKIT.jar archive is broken.

.jar, .SCA, .SDA files are actully zip archives with special structure and metainformation isnside.

So you may test SDMKIT.jar with some zip utility if it is correct.

If it proves to be invalid you have to download it again from SAP service marketplace (SMP).

Best regards,

Petar
