UaServer does not start - Prepare

[ThomasKjelsrud]

Hi all!

I have a problem when trying to start UaServer for Prepare. I am trying to start the PREPARE phase for upgrading to ERP 2005 from R/3 4.7 ext. set 200, and started the prepare.bat file from the root-directory of the Upgrade Master DVD. I am using JRE 1.5.0_6. I get as far as typing in the command java -cp C:\usr\sap\put\UA\ua.jar UaServer, and type in a password.

Then the following is displayed:

C:\Documents and Settings\t01adm>java -cp C:\usr\sap\put\UA\ua.jar UaServer

UaServer> Stable storage file 'C:\usr\sap\put\ua\UaState' not found

Seems to me that something goes wrong in the "UaServer> Signing JAR file uagui.jar" step. Does anyone know why this happends?

Please help!

You can see, that I tried how to write it. (Stupid action, because I knew that the '-' is needed.) But as always this solved the problem because:

If you copy&paste the string to the console window as I did from windows xp via remote terminal into windows 2003 server, you can read "-classpath" but the console reads "u00FBclasspath". That is why java interprets this string as class and not as parameter!

This is the second time in my life, that by copy&paste via a microsoft remote terminal session the pasted result is different to the copied string. Never trust copy&paste over remote terminal session!

Just rewrite the "-classpath" section manually by keyboard >> not with copy & paste! And it will work fine. I guess you do not need 1.4.2_13 especially. I got this error on JAVA_6.12_JRE_x64 and on j2re-1_4_2_18. Finally I solved it under 1_4_2_18 by just manually typing the hyphen.

Best regards,

Hi...

I replaced the java jre 1.5.0_06 with jre 1.4.2_13. Now it works!
