EP6 sp2 patch 4 problem .........

[Former Member]

hi,

i am applying patch 4 to to my portal server. I dloaded 1 pdf regarding application of that patch. Acc. to it, i upgraded my sap j2ee engine to PL29. Then i patched SDM to PL 14, sap basic java libs 6.20 to support package 18, jmon to PL 19 (Ref ). The only thing i havent done is applying patch to SAP Jco(java Connector). bcoz i dont know which JVM(32 bit or 64 bit) is there.

Then i stopped my IRJ application. Now Acc. to document:

To install the patch:

...

1. Start SAPinst as follows:

UNIX

a. <b>Read SAP note 722890</b>.

b. Log on to your installation host as a user with <b>super user (root) permission</b>.

c. Create a directory for the installation (for example sapinst), and make sure it is

empty.

d. From the directory you created, run the command:

<SAR File Directory>/SAPINST-CD/SAPINST/UNIX/<OS>/sapinst

Make sure that you the directory from which you call SAPinst is empty.

....................................................

but there is no note with this no.(722890) in sap service marketplace. so do ne1 have this note?

and my 2nd question, while applying the patch, u need to log on with superuser(root) permission. But to start or stop sap j2ee engine, u need to log in as <b>j2eeadm</b> user. So with which user i shud login?

and while applying this patch, sap j2ee engine should be running or not?

bye n thanx...

rgds,

ranger

Hi,

regarding the SAP Jco, the JVM is 32bit (1.3.1_something), even if our OS ist 64bit.

Hi ranger,

1. You need SAP Note 722890 to solve the Symptom: "SAPinst or process started by SAPinst terminates abnormally", so it's not needed when everything works fine!

2. You should log in as a user with super user (root) permission as stated in the installation guide. <b>But: only use root during the installation for runing sapinst. Afterwards su to j2eeadm and start the portal!</b>

3. The J2EE Engine should be running, but the IRJ application must be stopped!

Hope this helps,

Robert

PS: If you face problems as mentioned in 1., I can provide you with the SAP Note (by mail).
