Error in Phase DDIC_ACTIVATION - TP_STEP_FAILURE returncode 0008

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am updating my Solman 7.0 system to EHP1. I am getting an error in the DDIC_ACTIVATION phase:

The detailed error says:

The installation was stopped, since an error occurred during the phase

DDIC_ACTIVATION, which the Add-On Installation Tool is unable to resolve

without your input.

After you have corrected the cause of the error, continue with the

import by choosing Continue in the queue display.

The following details help you to analyze the problem:

- Error in phase: DDIC_ACTIVATION

- Reason for error: TP_STEP_FAILURE

- Return code: 0008

- Error message: OCS Package SAPK-1507EINSTPL, tp step A, return

code 0008

Notes on phase DDIC_ACTIVATION

In this phase the system activates the imported Data Dictionary objects.

This phase may terminate for several reasons:

- TP_INTERFACE_FAILURE: The system was unable to call the tp

interface.

- TP_FAILURE: The system was unable to execute the tp program. For

more information, see the SLOG or ALOG log file.

- TP_STEP_FAILURE: The system was unable to perform the tp step DDIC

activation successfully. To see the cause of the problem in the

activation log, choose Logs.

If you import two or more OCS packages in one installation queue,

and activate the Data Dictionary objects in the incorrect sequence,

this can cause errors. In this case, the activation errors disappear

if you repeat the activation run. To do this, choose Continue.

The Add-On Installation Tool requires that the Change and Transport

System (CTS) be configured correctly. For more detailed information,

read the online documentation available from Help -> SAP Library ->

mySAP Technology Components -> SAP Web Application Server -> BC Change

and Transport System .

A list of the most important SAP Notes for Online Correction Support

(OCS) is available in SAP Note 97620, which is updated regularly.

I am not able to get rid of this error even after applying the corrections mentioned in SAP note: 822380. I also tried running the phase again, but still getting this error. How do I get past this error. Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Check SAP Note 447839 - ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME

Hi Sunny,

I have checked that. That did not help me.

Hi Ajay,

As the job failed with the message ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME, this should be an issue with the day light saving time. You must have received an ABAP dump for the same.

Have u gone through all the notes related with this error? Note 398374 , Note 102088 ,Note 840770 ...

Hi,

I no longer see the ILLEGAL_LOCTIME error in the logs. But it is still failing in the DDIC_ACTIVATION error with TP_STEP_FAILURE and return code 8.

Any idea how I can proceed from here?

Thanks,

Ajay

[RajeevP]

Hi Ajay,

Could you please paste the import log entries for RC 8?

Hi All,

I solved this error by applying both the corrections 679591 and 1059518 mentioned in the SAP note 1256384. Had opened a message with SAP for this, but they were of no help.

Thanks all

Ajay
