Hello,

Issue has been solved, SAP pointed that File /usr/sap/U3T/JC80/SDM/root/origin/sap.com/tc/sec/diagtool/ear/MAIN_APPL63SP_D/0/20071119192056/web_diagtool.ear could be corrupt or defective and after undeploying it phase went on.

Best regards,

Additional info, note 873624 was checked but in this case it doesn't help it's not the same error.

Best regards,

Iñigo
