Upgrade phase "VALCHK_INI" aborted with severe errors

[former_member2395]

Dear All,

I am doing Software Component  upgrade on newly installed  SRM server with EHP2.

I have completed SUM on DEV & QAS succesfully but facing problem while upgrading on production which is installed on distributed system (CI & DB on Seperate Host).

Error Descripition as follow

====

1AETQ228 Detected invalid (temporary) start release "CPRXRPM"

1EETQ399 Last error code set is 'CPRXRPM is in an undefined state, that is not safe to be upgraded, reason Upgrade wasn't completed - Call the SAP Support'

1EETQ204 Upgrade phase "VALCHK_INI" aborted with severe errors ("20130320191150")

====

Action taken:

- Upgrade was reseted many time and  started but same  error

- SE38 report RSUPGRES Tried but giving  dump.

-  Table entry deleted from UVERS and tried.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Vivekanand Pandey

Hi Vivek,

Please check below two notes if not helpful then raise a message to SAP.

NOTE 1632586 - VALIDATE_QUEUE step in SUM fails due to product mismatch

Reset SUM using the Back button on the GUI repeatedly and then exit SUM process.

              NOTE: If the Back button is inactive (disabled), this means that a phase is still running and you must proceed as described in "Resetting the Software Update Manager" section in the SUM guide.

              If reset is not done properly on a dual-stack system, you will get an error in the ABAP phase "VALCHK_INI" when starting SUM again.

NOTE: 1790486 - SAPup broke during phase VALCHK_INI in module PREP_INIT / Initialization

Resolution

Only perform the following steps if you were in one of the Preparation Roadmap steps (1-4) when you tried to reset the previous upgrade:

1. Change to the upgrade directory

    UNIX: <upgrade directory>/abap/bin

    WINDOWS: <upgrade directory>\abap\bin

1. Execute the following command:

    UNIX: ./SAPup reset prepare

    WINDOWS: .\SAPup.exe reset prepare

1. Rename the current upgrade directory

     NOTE: Once you have confirmed that the reset was done properly, you can then delete the directory.

1. End all the SAPup processes on the operating system (OS) level (if any exist)
2. Download the latest SUM patch from Service Marketplace (SMP)
3. Start the upgrade from scratch

Thanks

Hello,

This error means that the previous upgrade attempt was not resetted properly. Please follow the upgrade guide to reset the upgrade properly.

PS : Never play with the internal tables.

Hello Vivekanand,

A new SUM will not help with this error. But you resetted the upgrade again and that worked so seems this time it was resetted correctly.

SAP do not recommend to touch the internal tables without consulting them. So I informed the best

practice. This time it worked but sometimes it leads to severe issues.

For resetting the upgrade, you should always follow the upgrade guide.
