EHP1 upgrade error in PREP_INPUT..phase

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am doing EHP1 upgrade and getting error in EHPI during the PREP_INPUT/KX_CPYORG! phase.

Below is the error:

Severe error(s) occured in phase PREP_INPUT/KX_CPYORG!

Last error code set: Cannot open '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/dbatoolsora.lst': No such file or directory

It complains about dabtoolsora.lst file not existing in /SYS/exe/run Dir. This is because our DB is in separate machine/host and the CI is in separate. Hence the file mentioned above only exist in */SYS/exe/run Dir of DB host.

Can anyone please suggest what steps should be taken to resolve this issue? Do i need to copy that file manually to the CI host's */SYS/exe/run Directory and then repeat the EHPI steps again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi DK,

Download "DBATOOLS Package for Oracle 10g and 11g" relevant for your kernel version from SAP Service market place then extract and replace it in kernel directory,

This have resolved my issue,

I know this answer is too late for your question, but it's still the top google hit for this message, so I'm leaving this here for others.

SUM still has this behavior as of 1.0 SP6.  One workaround is to copy dbatoolsora.lst from your DB server kernel directory, and create wrapper scripts which will SSH from the CI to the DB and run the brtools commands that SUM would want to run.

Here's an example of such a script, for brtools:

#!/bin/csh

ssh $SAPDBHOST brtools $*

So, you'd have a script like this for brarchive, brbackup, and the other br* tools mentioned in dbatoolsora.lst, each containing the name of the command to run on the db server.

Be sure to look in dbatoolsora.lst for a list of other files it may expect to find.
