Anyone had problems with ISERPACK8?

[tj_wilkinson2]

I'm working on an upgrade / unicode conversion from Solution Manager 3.1 -> 4.0. I've completed the upgrade, exported and converted the database, and deleted the old system.

I'm now to the point where I'm trying to install the new system from the export I created, but when I try to patch the installation master CD with ISERPACK8 before starting the install, I keep getting the following error:

****

sapcar '-xvf ISERPACK8_6-20000970.SAR'

Ownership of object GETOBJINF in QTEMP type *USRSPC changed.

Errors occurred in command.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've tried this as qsecofr with the 700 kernel and as a <sid>ofr of another system on the same server with a 640 kernel and neither one will work.

I had no problems in the past with ISERPACK7 when doing an SRM install, and tried to unpack that one again just to make sure my sapcar was ok, and it still works.

I appreciate any insight anyone has. Thank you.

Hi,

probably there is a problem calling the SAPCAR (which is in PASE). So, if you are QSECOFR, it is not enough to just do an ADDLIBLE with some kernel library. You should rather do a CALL R3<SID>400/R3INLPGM of a running 7.00 based system.

6.40 or lower based systems can't be used since 6.40 or lower SAPCARs are probably incompatible to the 7.00 SAPCAR.

If nothing helps you could still get a Windows SAPCAR 7.00 as standalone executable from the SAP Software Marketplace to extract the ISERPACK.

Sorry for that inconvenience...

Best regards, Christoph

Guys thanks alot for the quick response. I thought I'd try to download the latest SAPCAR for windows and give it a go last night, and it worked like a charm.

Thanks again.

Hi TJ,

at least with the SAPCAR extract I had no issues by now with this one.

I mostly use the PC SAPCAR and there you mostly need a 7.00 SAPCAR.exe or at least 6.40 Patch 4 which is often not available on the SMP. I could provide it to you via mail.
