Problem in upgrade phase SCANDIR_KRN

[jcarbonell]

We are upgrading from 4.70 200 with kernel 6.40 to 6.0 EhP4 SR1, and when we get to phase SCANDIR_KRN, the process fails with the following errors in log file CAR.SAV:

SAPCAR: processing archive /cdsupg/download_701/SAPEXE_69-20004060.SAR (version 2.01)

SAPCAR: can not change date for /usr/sap/RD2/upg/abap/exenew/cfw (error 14). Not owner

Process with ID 2851 terminated with status 14

It seems to point to an authorization problem, but I have checked the cfw directory, and it has R3OWNER as the owner, and R3GROUP as the primary group.

I would appeciate any suggestions about this problem.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Jose,

I do see the following reasons here:

- did you use somehow a sym-link within this path to a different filesystem - perhaps via QFileSvr.400 ?

- I would change the directory in question ( /usr/sap/RD2/upg/abap and everything below) to "777" with call qp2term

- I would provide *ALLOBJ to the user running the SAPCAR

Hi Volker,

Thank you for your suggestions. Finally we were able to solve the problem renaming the directory cfw and repeating the phase. So it was created again during the kernel extraction, and the phase ran without problems. We do not know what had happened, because the old directory had been created in the initial kernel extraction EXTRACTKRN_PRE phase, and the owner was R3OWNER. And the user <SID> OFR, who runs the upgrade, has R3OWNER as a group profile, so it should be able to manage it. In fact, we had already done the upgrade in a test environment, and we did not have this problem. Anyway, the upgrade is running fine now. Thanks again for your help.
