keydb.xml writing error

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to upgrade the SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java from Stack 15 to 19.

In the installation phase 'Check prerequisites' I get this error:

ERROR 2007-01-29 14:43:38
FKD-00070  Error when opening table container file C:/Program Files/sapinst_instdir/PATCH/PRC/keydb.xml for writing. Possible reason: "read-only"

The strange thing is that the read-only box is not marked, also not for the folder PRC or the whole sapinst_instdir.

And I have administrator rights.

I also rebooted the computer and deleted all content in sapinst_instdir and started new. But the error still occurs.

Does somebody have an idea what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Regards, Susanne

The probable cause in most customer instances of the FKD-00049 Parser

error, is likely a corrupted xml or dtd file. Could you please repalce

these files with new versions.

These files can get corrupted when they are copied from the distribution

DVD to the hard drive. After replacing the corrupt file with a good one

this should solve your problem.

In this instance it is the keydb.xml file itself. Can you please see if

you can copy the file directly from your installation CD's into the file

space given in the error and try to run the installation again.

Hi

This is very mysterious,bug observed ont a few times before,but

without any cause of it found. Here are some tricks, which could help.

1. Please reboot the server and see if it is possible to continue.

2. Please, try to restart the sapinst from /usr/sap/put

2. Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370

- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described

SAP Note 97179.

- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file

.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the

following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:

a) If using a csh, enter:

set path=(/usr/sbin $path)

b) If using a sh, enter:

path=/usr/sbin:$path

export path

If none of the above work you can try to use one of the older Keydb.xml

files, these would be from previous points where the import was either

stopped or failed. It would not resume from the most recent point.

Unfortunately there are no other Backups of the keydb.xml files.

We don't have the DVD. I downloaded the stack from http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks and extracted the sar files with sapcar.

I did this now once again cause maybe the download was corrupt but the same error occurs.

Do you have any other ideas what I can do?

Thanks
