When trying to start the upgrade assistant I am getting the following messages:

I am using Windows 2003 server and SQL 2005.

I have searched endlessly through OSS and sdn but am tearing my hair out.

Thnaks.

Hi Jon,

I am having this exact same error. Have you managed to resolve this yet. If so, then please let me know how.

I am also running Windows 2003 with MSSQL 2005.

Hi!

I had the exact same problem when starting UaServer, using JRE 1.5.0_06. I installed JRE 1.4.2_13, and changed the PATH variable. I was then able to start UaServer and UaGui without problems.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Thomas

-> <sid>adm has administrative rights?

-> environment is set? (java etc.)

-> java version used?

-> uagui has been invoked?

-> prepare phase already done?

Thanks for the reply.

- <sidadm> has admin rights

- i have set various environment variables individually, but dont know which should be set and which dont matter

- java version jre 1.5.0_09

- prepare has been run for the first time and i am then trying to invoke the UaServer BEFORE i can invoke the uagui.

I believe that the most likely cause is an environment variable that is missing, but its finding the right one!

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is it or not... but I always use the following Java version:

JRE/JDK: 1.4.2_12 (or _09).

Java Version 1.5.0_09 is not yet supported by SAP. Check your environment variable on DOS prompt typing set and enter each environment variable in system user in the path too.
