SAP Upgrade Problem in EXTRACTKRN_PRE

[henrik_axelsson]

Hi,

Im upgrading to ERP6 from ERP5. The system is on AIX with a db2 database.

Im getting this problem in the Prepare phase, when unpacking the kernel:

>> 10:54:49 PREPARE: START OF PHASE EXTRACTKRN_PRE

Extracting archive "/sap_sw_lib/Forest_kernel/KN_AIX_PPC64_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR" to "/usr/sap/put/exe" ...

ERROR: Extraction of /sap_sw_lib/Forest_kernel/KN_AIX_PPC64_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR to directory /usr/sap/put/exe failed.

Check log file CAR.ECO/CAR.SAV for error message.

I have tried to run sapcar manually from /usr/sap/put sapcar -tvf /sap_sw_lib/Forest_kernel/KN_AIX_PPC64_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR and it works.

Checking the log CAR.ECO/CAR.SAV it tells me the following:

EXECUTING /usr/sap/put/tools/SAPCAR (/usr/sap/put/tools/SAPCAR) -xf /sap_sw_lib/Forest_kernel/KN_AIX_PPC64_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR

SAPCAR: processing archive /sap_sw_lib/Forest_kernel/KN_AIX_PPC64_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR (version 2.01)

SAPCAR: error reading from /sap_sw_lib/Forest_kernel/KN_AIX_PPC64_AUPG/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR

Process with ID 647670 terminated with status 5

Thanks!

It could be a permissions issue or that the path above is unreachable for some reason

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

As I said; I can reach the file when manually trying to unpack the SAR. So I dont think its a permission problem.
