Installation of EHP4 - Has anyone got this working

118 Views

Hi All;

I know that SAP will not like to hear this, but the installation of EPH4 using Solution Manager is a frustrating exercise in futility. I have been trying to install EHP4 for over 2 months now and it keeps failing. I have an open HIGH ticket with SAP and they have moved me forward in the installation process due to Bugs in their tools, but once I get 1 bug resolved I quickly hit another one. SAP Support keeps bouncing me all over the place. I feel like I am dealing with a Beta product rather then a General release solution. Furthermore, SAP's support sense of urgency is completely different then their customer base. I have also had our SAP account manager in to express my frustration and while sympathetic to my situation, he acknowledges there is little he can do.

My latest issue is similar to this link:

ehp4-error-in-preparejspmqueue

Specifically, I have gotten over the ABAP installation and now I am in the JSPM portion. The installation fails on the PREPARE_JSPM_QUEUE phase with the error:

I don't know why we are getting these warning messages since the Kernel files (non-unicode for the ABAP portion) and Unicode for the Java stack are in the /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in subdirectory.

SAP has been in my Solution Manager and confirms everything is setup ok. We have a Linux Red Hat EL 5.0 64 bit Application server that has been successfully upgraded from SAP 4.7 x 110 to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP1.

Our Database server is also Linux Red Hat EL 5.0 64 bit running Oracle 10.2.0.4. Our system is vanillia. We are an IT shop so we lots of knowledgable people in the company and can response to SAP requests quickly (which are slow in coming).

I am also wondering if this warning message is causing any problems. SAP has confirmed that our parameter settings are correct but I wonder since I am getting this message.
