Upgrading BW Portal from 7.0 SP6.0 to 7.3

[Former Member]

During the preprocessing phase of PREPARE I get the followign error:

The execution of UPGRADE/INSTALL_SHADOW_ENGINE/INSTALL_LICENSE ended in error. Error while executing PhaseTypeExecuteTask with input file ExecuteTasks.xml and task INSTALL_LICENSE

Has anyone come across this issue? VA shows a valid license installed for this hardware.

HI I dont think so you can apply license manually to shadow system. Check your stack.xml hostname and all other values are same as per your requirment.

Try this to create temp License

saplicense -temp NAME=<SID>.

Backup the ExecuteTasks.xml file and open it for editing.

Find existing line in the configuration file

<if test="$(Instance@J2EEEngineInstanceHost/HostName) == $(/J2EE/StandardSystem/CentralInstance/J2EEEngineInstanceHost/HostName)">

and place each of the arguments inside single quotation marks/apostrophe(') as follows:

<if test="'$(Instance@J2EEEngineInstanceHost/HostName)' == '$(/J2EE/StandardSystem/CentralInstance/J2EEEngineInstanceHost/HostName)'">

Save the file and repeat the phase.

Hi Philip,

This is normal, login to shadow system and install temporary license.

1) Check the license key in stack.xml.. (exist same as in system?). If it diff from system license.. change it and try again.

Thank you for your quick reply but I would like to clarify. This is the Java system. At this point, am I able to login? When you say login, are you saying via Visual Admin to the Shadow instance to apply temporary license? Or is there a URL that can be used to access the Shadow system?

Hi Naveen,

Thank you for the reply. Can you tell me where I can locate the stack.xml file. I haven't been able to locate the file yet. Is it under the updgrade directory? Is that the full name of file? Thank you.

check the password etc and your ports.

I've seen the upgrade process stop a Java stack and then we've had to start it manually to carry on.
