ceupdatemanager hangs during CE 7.11 upg to 7.20

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am updating our sandbox CE 7.11 SPS4 system to CE 7.20 SPS2.

I have downloaded the CEUPDATEMANAGER file for CE 7.20 from service marketplace: CEUPDATEMANAGER01_0-20005861.SAR (for AIX).

After extracting this file in kernel directory, I started the ceupdatemanager using root user. Then, I selected the instance to be

updated, entered Administrator password and then on next screen enetered password for sceadm. Immediately aftere this, the gui screen gets hung and its status bar shows:

unknown message ID (ce.updater.checkingFile) with parameter

(s): /usr/sap/SCE/J10/j2ee/cluster/apps/sap.com/core.lyt/developmentserver/res/skins/neutral/images/chart_line_overlaid3d.gif

Also, sapinst_dev.log shows the following warning:

WARNING 2010-08-13 07:21:22.144 syuxcgroup.cpp:146

Please help.

getpwent() is a syscall which tries to get the password.

Has your <sid>adm user a password assigned?
