JSPM Warning "not a valid update" while scanning inbox-directory

[Former Member]

Hello Everybody,

we use NWDI to develop our own applications for Netweaver CE and to create the SCA-files, which we deploy using JSPM. The SCA with software-component in version 1.0 was successfully installed with JSPM.

Now we have the same software-component in version 2.0 and try to install it, but JSPM does not recognize it neither as an update nor as a new component.

In the scan_inbox.log of JSPM i found this entry:

Dec 1, 2009 5:54:52 PM Warning: Delivery unit with version 2.0.0.0 located in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/COMPONENT02_0-20091127.sca is not a valid update for component mycomp.com/COMPONENT with version 1.0.0.1.

I tried using JSPM with option -config=/jspm/forceMode=true -config=/jspm/deployVersionRule=updateAll and set the maximum rights of the SCA-file on file system, but nothing helped.

When i undeploy version 1.0 manually using NWDS, version 2.0 is recognized and can be installed by JSPM, so it can't be a corrupt file or something like that. But undeploying with NWDS is just a workaround, not a solution for the problem and no option for our customers.

I tried the deployment on Netweaver CE 7.1 and CE 7.1 EHP 1 with the same behavior of JSPM.

JSPM itself is not under NWDI-Control.

I already read the JSPM manual, searched the forum and looked out for SAP notes, but I found nothing about the mentioned warning or any hint how to define a "valid update".

Any ideas or suggestions, what else can I do?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

CW

Hai,

Update JSPM and then try.

Is the version 1 component showing in the deployed components tab page?

If not synchronise the database and the SDM repository as follows.

Hello Yoganand,

thank you for your input.

Yes, as a result of the successfull deployment of version 1, the component is showed in JSPM on tab deployed components.

My problem is, that in can't deploy version 2 of my software component. In step 2 of the JSPM deployment process (Support Packages > Specify Queue) version 2 of the same component is not offered as a target release.

Meanwhile I found out, that according to JSPM-Manual [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/7a/e497422930c56ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm] JSPM doesn't support the installation of new releases. And a new software component version is a new release:

Before the deployment of a software component, the JSPM performs the following types of version checks: 
- ... 
- The releases of the SCAs are the same as the ones of the software components that are installed on the system. JSPM allows updates only within one release. 
- ... 

Does anybody know if there is any other way to install a new release of a customer specific software component than undeploy the old version and deploy the new one?

Best regards,

CW

Hi Everybody,

meanwhile we found out, that it is possible to install a higher release of a software component by using the option "Business Package" in JSPM.

Best regards,
