SAPEphi Fail during upg from NW7.01 to 7.02 in READ_BASE_PROFILE phase

[Former Member]

Hi, SAPEphi Fails with the message

Error while executing PhaseTypeExecuteTask with input file

ReadProfiles.xml and task READ_BASE_PROFILES. Could not determine

profile parameters. Error while reading properties

from /usr/sap/A57/SYS/profile/START_JC30_sapa57. Variables

[/J2EE/StandardSystem/CentralInstance/JDKHomeDirectory] not found. A

possible reason can be that the start release is lower than 6.40 SPS09.

Has anyone ran in to this issue as well and how did one solve it.

JSPM, visual admin, configtool are working fine. Porfile directory has been cleened before starting.

Please help

Dear Raymond,

There is a high probability that prepare is looking for a parameter

'jstartup/vm/home' which may be missing for some strange reason in you

Central instance profile. If this is the case please add following line:

jstartup/vm/home = <location of the new jdk>

Please check if this is set on all the instance profiles.

The other reason could be that during the READ_PROFILES phase

the EHPi is looking for an invalid profile.

Please maintain only the valid files under DIR_PROFILE directory. Be

sure that the old and backup ones are not stored there.

Then please restart the READ_PROFILES phase. Check the note:

741289 - Profile parameters of the J2EE Engine are lost

You can also add this parameter in START profile. There is no harm in this.

Hi Abhishek

Adding the jstartup/vm/home parameter to the start profile was the trick.

It stays however strange.

Hi Raymond and Abhishek - fyi, I used the same workaround Raymond used for our EHP1 > EHP2 Java-only update (added the jstartup/vm/home parameter to the start profile).

I agree with Raymond - - very strange...
