Hi folks,
I am an experienced OS/400 user but have not done an upgrade on this platform for about two years.
My problem: I started a prepare from 4.6C ASCII to ECC 6.0 ASCII with old tools (SR2). I completed the step where FIX_ERP2005SR2.UPG is checked and unpacked. When the prompt appeared to upgrade SAPup I decided to restart with SR3 tools.
I ran SAPup '/usr/sap/put' 'reset prepare' but this step failed when trying to run a transport.
On advice of SAP I deletetd /usr/sap/put and restarted the prepare.
With the new prepare tools (SAPUP patched to 25.016) I get only as far FIX_ERP2005SR3.UPG is checked and unpacked.
Error:
Correction package '/usr/sap/put/FIX_ERP2005SR3.UPG' found, extracting to
'/usr/sap/put'
SAPup message
SAPup> Upgrade Correction Package
Error -52 during extraction of the upgrade correction package FIX_ERP2005SR3.UPG
Please check file CAR.ECO
CAR.ECO only contains a reference to pid -1.
I ran SAPup '/usr/sap/put' 'check DEBUGON' to hopefully see what happens but I was unable to see the cause of the error. Apparantly there is no DEBUGOFF option.
Now I decided to delete everyhing (libraries SAPUP and SAPUPSRV and /usr/sap/put ) and to restart from scratch using directory /usr/sap/putec6.
As soon as I patch SAPUP to the latest version it is running in DEBUGON mode again and the prepare step fails at the same step FIX_ERP200SR3.UPG.
There must be some additional item that I need to delete in order to restart in a clean environment but I have so far been unable to find it. Also delete / recreate of the user profile and IPL did not help.
The <SID>OFR is running with *SECOFR rights and I ran 'chmod -R 777 /usr/sap/putec6' in QSH.
Any ideas ?
Thank you Fredi
