Problem with SAPCPE and the files libicu* (unicode)

[Former Member]

Hello,

   we have a problem with the replication of kernel with the program SAPCPE. On some occasions the replica remains in half because the process can not remove directory exe_.

Libicu * files are not copied to the new directory "exe" and then SAP can not boot.

The only solution is copy the libicu* files to new the directory exe and start sap again.

we have a kernel 7.20

Does anyone has this happened?

Regards.

I don't think you need the exe_ subdirectory at all and it was probably created by a manual copy in the first place. (at least that's what happened to me). If you did the same, make sure when you do the manual copy (to prime the pump as it were) that you copy from the hard link /sapmnt/<SID>/exe to the instance hard link /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<INSTNO> WITHOUT the exe on the end. If you put the exe on the end, it creates a second exe_ subdirectory. After deleting the exe_ subdirectory, something like this:

qsh cmd('cp -r /sapmnt/<SID>/exe /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<INSTNO>')

Yannick's link to the other thread does have a lot of good info if you can sort through it!

Please review this thread: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3320587

If nothing in there helps please check the following

1- Please check to make sure your initial kernel installation worked as intended.

"/sapmnt/<SID>/patches/log" check for errors or warnings, if in doubt please post your concerns!

2- Make sure that your libicu* files are in your list files (Normally this should not be an issue, if they are not included in these files re-download the SARs and re-install the kernel).

gateway.lst

instance.lst

j2eeinst.lst

scs.lst

scsclient.lst

webdispinst.lst

3- Check the sapcpeft file, make sure you find 1 entry per list file for your libicu* files. You also want to confirm that the "operation" is set to "local_copy". If the answer is no, re-download and re-install kernel.

4- Please attach you sapcpe log files located in your work directory.

Point 2 and 3 directory is the kernel directory "/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run". Point 4 well as I said the work directory.
