Upgrade from NW 7 to NW 7.03

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am testing an upgrade from Upgrade from NW 7 (ECC 6.0) to NW 7.03 (ECC 6.0 EHP6) on a test system, using SUM10SP06.

Source System is,

Ecc 6.0 (SAP_BASIS-700-Level 0014; SAP_ABA-700-Level 0014)

Oracel 11.2.0.3.0

Windows 2008 R2 SP1

I have downloaded required media manually from Market place.

Now, I am stuck at "select target step" where it asking for XML file path or manually prepared directory.

I have tried by choosing the local directory where I had downloaded & extracted the media.

I am getting error message as per following,

while trying to invoke the method java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object) of an object loaded from local variable 'nextName'

&

DETECT  define_target  define-target-dialog  define-target-source  com.sap.sdt.j2ee.services.servicesimpl.DefineTargetService  class java.lang.NullPointerException

Kindly guide me how to solve this & move ahead.

Kind rgds,

Hi Ashwin,

SUM SP06 has some bugs. Refer SAP note 1831282.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mr. Deepak,

Thank you for your response. I checked the snote. I tried with SUM 05 also. Getting the same error. I think my problem is concern with creation of the flat directory or the stack.xml file.

In case you are aware about creation of the flat directory / Manually prepared directory, kindly share your experience with me.

Hi Ashwin,

I guess the issue could be with XML stack file. Look at this thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/2057084

Dear Deepak,

I have downloaded the software manually & so I need to use the second option i.e. "manually prepared directory." & not the stack.xml option.

Hi Ashwin,

Please check file SUM_DEFINE-TARGET-SOURCE_**.LOG in /sdt/log/. There you should see which package it is asking for (and that is missing).Then download it and put on the same directory of the other packages.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have downloaded packages through Maintenance Optimizer & used the Manually prepared directory option. The stack.xml file didn't required in this case. The problem has been solved.

Our netweaver upgrade testing is going on.
