Dear customers and consultants,
a serious problem has been found in the SAP Enhancement Package Installer 7.00 when running for dual stack systems running on IBM i machines. For that reason, the package SAPehpi.SAR has been removed temporarily from the download area. Following usages of the EHPI are affected:
SAPehpi 7.00 for NetWeaver 7.0 EhP1
SAPehpi 7.00 for ERP 6.0 EhP4
Single stack systems are not affected. Since there is no difference in the package for single and dual stack systems, we cannot distinguish between its effective use. If you are running a single stack ABAP or Java system, please open a customer message on component BC-INS-AS4 and and request a download of SAPehpi.SAR for IBM i. You will be able to run the EhP installation as usual.
I have updated SAP note 1165462 to describe the issue more in detail. If you are not able to shift the EhP installer for your dual stack SAP system, please open as customer ticket on component BC-INS-AS4 as well and get familiar with the workaround described right at the beginning of this SAP note (line marker is: C5018355 09/Jul/09). For dual stack systems manual invertention is definitely required, otherwise you will not be able to start the system again after the kernel switch, and therefore you cannot finish the EhP installation.
Once the issue is fixed, the installer package will be available again in the download are, SAP note 1165462 will be adopted accordingly and I will post details here in this thread as well.
I'm sorry for inconvenience.
Best regards
