HI,

I'm trying to update BW 3.5 to Netweaver 7.0 EHP2 and I'm having the following issue when I put the path of the mount DVD:

SEVERE ERROR: PI_BASIS is in an undefined state,
that is not safe to be upgraded !!!
Reason: Upgrade wasn't completed
Call the SAP Support!!!

Log error:

I only added the path of the upgrade DVD for Netweaver 7.0 EHP, the kernel DVD unicode, the languages and the NW 7.0 EhP2 Add-On Upgrade DVD.

This are the Release and SP that I have right now in the system:

I try to verify the notes 1175848 and 158358 but the marketplace show me this message so I can't verify it...":

u201DThe requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally onlyu201D

I try to stop the upgrade, application and erase all in the upg directory to begin again but the issue is not resolved...

Thanks for the help!!

Hi Carlos,

As per the SAP note 158358 deleted all entries with the condition NEWRELEASE = 'Target release of the started upgrade' in the UVERS table using the database resources. Since the table is buffered, the table buffers must be refreshed in the SAP system (/$TAB or restart the central instance). Restart the prepare from the beginning, in other words, with an empty upgrade directory

Check the below thread for more informatin,

Thanks all for the guides and documentation..!!! That will be very helpfully for my upgrade!!!

Durgesh, I'm trying to delete the entries using the database resources but after that I have to restart the application right? or refresh the buffer in the system? This /$TAB is a command or transaction??

Thanks!
