Role Migration Error in EP6SP2_P4_HF7

[palani_aravazhi]

We are looking to migrate Roles from R/3 (4.7) to Portals. When we try the Role Upload utility we get the following Java error. I greatly appreciate any help.

Aviad,

I follwed your suggestion to change the reference.txt. But in our setup it worked by changing the reference.txt in the directory.

\usr\sap\...\j2ee\.....\cluster\server\managers

Thanks.

Hi PK,

It depend on which J2EE Patch Level you are working - if it is PL > 21, you should change it on the state directory, if you are working with PL < 21 it should be done on the server directory.

Best regards, and if the answer helped you, you are more than welcomed to reward points

Is com.sap.mdi listed in your J2EE server's references.txt? That might be the problem.

Hi,

reference library:com.sap.mdi library:jco exists in reference.txt file located in C:\usr\sap\PRAV\j2ee\j2ee_01\cluster\server\manager of EP6,Sp2 server. Kindly suggest, how to resolve the errors? The latest hotfixes for EP6,SP2 is already applied and portal plugin is installed on R/3 system, but we are still getting the errors.

Thanks

Hi,

Please refer to the installation manual where it is explained how to add the com.sap.mdi reference.

In general you should do the following:

1. With a text editor, open the file:

\usr\sap\<SAP_J2EE_instance_name>\j2ee\<instance_number>\cluster\state\services\file\work\managers\reference.txt

2. Look for the line:

reference service:eisconnector library:jco

3. After the line mentioned in previous step, add the following in a new line:

<b>reference service:eisconnector library:com.sap.mdi</b>

4. Save your changes and close the file.

5. Restart the SAP J2EE Engine.

Please be careful and have a look at the installation manual before changing it.

If you still have problems, please also specify the exact Portal version and J2EE version.

Regards,

Aviad
