solman 7.1 upgrade prepare error in MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG

[esi]

Dear friends,

I am attempting to upgrade solution manager to 7.1

During abap preprocessing phase I get the following error:

Checks after phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG were negative!

Last error code set: Detected 88 errors summarizes in 'ACTUPG.ELG' Check logfiles 'ACTUPG.ELG' and

'/usr/sap/SSM/SOLMANUP/abap/log/SAPup.ECO'

I have not found any information about this error or table name on sdn/sapnet/google.

Your suggestions would be most welcome.

I have created sapnet message, but am hoping to save time by posting here also.

Hi Eirikur,

It sounds from the error message, that the fields reported are duplicate. Please check the table

/1CADMC/030000000046401T331

in se11/se14, if there are fields

LZONE

XCORD

YCORD

ZCORD

already defined, perhaps in a custom append. If so, rename these and then repeat the phase.

Regards,

Paul

Dear Paul,

thank you for the comment.

I have been unable to check status in se11, because apparently this is not a table but a structure, and I dont know where/how to work with structures.

Any suggestion most welcome.

Rgsd, Eirikur.

I could work with the structures in SE84 - dictionary - structures.

And as Paul suggested, there was indeed an append which caused the problem.

There were 2 appends with duplicated fields.

Since I could not remove an append, I changed one to point to a new field, which does not conflict with the upgrade.

Still not sure which object this is but think it belongs to TDMS.

Rgds, Eirikur.

The options are as follows:

1) Repeat phase from the point of failure

2) Initialize phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG to restart it from the beginning

3) Accept non-severe errors and repeat phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG

I have already tried 1 several times.

Next I will try option 2 since it is harmless but will take longer.

I know that in some cases option 3 is acceptable ?

Rgds, Eirikur.
