Incorrect password in my upgrade control file...

[Former Member]

All,

During the upgrade prompts, I entered what I thought to be the password

for DDIC. I thought when you hit 'Next', it validates what you entered. I

did not get any errors, it accepted what I entered.

Later, as the Shadow Instance got built (which copies the DDIC

user ID from the regular instance), I tried to log on just to watch the

activity. I entered DDIC and the password I had entered intiially used,

and it kept telling me the password was wrong. The user ID eventually

locked. I was able to unlock it....still could not log on ( it said

wrong password), so I reset it to waht I believed it to be and logged

in.....but now, the upgrade is trying to enter an incorrect password.

Severe error(s) occured in phase MAIN_SHDRUN/RUN_RSGENVIEWSTRUC!

Last error code set: RFC login to system PSM ashost LFTSMD nr 02 gwhost LFTSMD gwservice sapgw02 failed with code 2 key RFC_LOGON_FAILURE: Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)

I would like to find a way to modify the control file and enter the

correct password....or some other way to get past this.

Any help would be apprecitaed!

Thanks,

Diana

Hello Diana,

The upgrade problems are treated at the software logistics space:

After ensuring the corrrect password and the use is not locked, check with the connection (SM59) to the shadow instance has the correct username/password.

Eduardo,

Okay I found the RFC's:

SAP_UPGRADE_ORIG_SYSTEM

&

SAP_UPGRADE_SHADOW_SYSTEM

in theri respective systems. A 'connection test' and a 'remote logon' both test successfully. Yet, the error remains.

Severe error(s) occured in phase MAIN_SHDRUN/RUN_RSGENVIEWSTRUC!

Last error code set: RFC login to system PSM ashost LFTSMD nr 02 gwhost LFTSMD gwservice sapgw02 failed with code 2 key RFC_LOGON_FAILURE: Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)

Thanks,

Does the Software Update Manager (SUM which is what I am using) have a 'set shdDDICpwd' option to make SAPup aware of the password in the GUI like the Upgrade Assistant has?

I figure it out. 😉

I loosely followed these instructions I found (for an older tool)
If you are using the Upgrade Assistant (I am using the Software Update Manager)
1. In the main menu of the Upgrade Assistant, choose Administrator Start SAPup with option .
To make the new password of user DDIC known to SAPup, enter the following command:
set DDICpwd (original system)
set shdDDICpwd (shadow system)

Hi All,

Even bringing back the DDIC password(reset password for 10 attempts, depending on ur system) and putting the same password in the RFC's has also worked for me.
