Support Package uprade in endless loop

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

we have a SP upgrade (from ECC level 10 to SP-level 16) running in a queue that is getting imported via SPAM (version 36). The import has been running for more than 24 hours, is this normal or did I hit an endless loop?

I noticed it has been running (and still is) in one phase only

for ages:

"INFORM SAP-SYSTEM OF TP TERMINATION"

In the log files I can see this warning:

Background job RDDIMPDP could not be started or terminated abnormally

Looking around in this forum I think I've found the solution, I have to reschedule the background job RDDIMPDP.

But my problem is that am running in downtime-minimized mode in SPAM and I cannot logon to sap system anymore, it gives me a syntax error if I try to. How can I cancel this SPAM import, can I somewhere kill processes, or should I just restart the SAP application server??

Can you please, please advise? Your help is really appreciated!

SAP Support have resolved this issue via a service connection. They did not say what they've done, but my assumption is they've completed the main import manually using tp commands.

thanks for your help.

Hi,

If you are getting Syntax error for every Txn. then u can't do anything expect Restore.

I faced same problem some days before & resolved by restoring the backup.

Also in my case the exact problem is the wrong value of parameter rdisp/msvsrv_internal & I reset it to default value 0 & next time my patch is upgrade successfully.

Hi,

I suppose you lost allready status information about tp

(table TRBAT - check it!), so killing tp/R3trans will not

change anything as now is.

BTW, you could start sap ignoring that tp is still running!!!!

Kind regards,
