We have been upgrading our SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 to EHP4.
Our DB is in 7.7.04.32 on SUSE Linux version 10, x86_64
We have been facing error during the MAIN_SHADOW/START_SHDI_FIRST in the preprocessing phase.
We have received the following error message.
"
Severe error(s) occured in phase MAIN_SHADOW/START_SHDI_FIRST!
Last error code set: Shadow instance couldn't be started,
check 'STARTSFI.LOG' and 'DEVTRACE.LOG"
On analysis of logs we can see the following
"2EETQ235 Call of function module "UPG_IS_SHADOW_SYSTEM" by RFC failed
(error-status "-3")
4 ETQ239 Logging off from SAP system
2WETQ372 test RFC failed, rc="-1"
2EETQ399 Starting shadow instance failed
2EETQ399 Test RFC failed finally "
We have been unable to login to the shadow system in 000 client as it
is giving "DB error" "This function is not possible" as the text
message at the bottom of the screen when trying to login with DDIC or
any other user.
Also, the Main instance is down .
Has anyone faced this issue.
Requesting your help at the earliest for resolving the issue
