SAP 6.40 to SAP 7.20 Upgradation

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

is that possible to upgrade SAP GUI 6.40 to SAP GUI 7.20 directly without SAP server installation ?

We are using BBCA to upgrade SAP version .

We successfully upgrade SAP GUI 7.10 version to SAP GUI 7.20 using below script

"C:\WIN32\setup\NwSAPsetup.exe" /silent

but the same script is not working from 6.40 to 7.20 .

When we tried as below

"D:/SAP GUI 720/setup/Nwsapsetup.exe" /package:"Standard GUI(local)"

we are getting a error message asThe specified package is not supported : /package="Standard GUI(local)"

Please find the contents of SapGuiPackage.xml file which is present in D:/SAP GUI 720/setup folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<SapSetup Context="Init">

<Package Name="Standard GUI(local)" Guid="{A45476A0-2062-4f0f-8CC5-F1E53962989A}" Version="1.0" OnlyServer="TRUE">

  <Product Name="SAP GUI 7.20" Guid="{79A78384-A51E-4d90-837E-E36237B27771}" ProdVersion="1" CmdLine="Package GUI">

Please kindly assist us how to proceed further . Please let me what is the package name we should use here.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Nishanth,

It's actually a moot point as you should really be ugrading to 7.30!

7.20 is not supported anymore since last April.

Can you insert the install logs (nwsapsetup.log) into your reply and we can take a look.

However,you should really be doing this operation with an installation server and 7.30 gui.

Hi Jude,

Thanks for your quick response,

We are using BBCA which is automation tool instead of installation server. We upgraded successfully from SAP GUI 7.10 to SAP GUI 7.20 using BBCA for almost 100 machines. but 6.40 to 7.20 is not working . even we tried to upgrade 6.40 to 7.10, it is also not working .

When we run Nwsatsetup.exe manually without using command line command . SAP GUI is successfully upgrading from 6.40 to 7.20. we are facing issue in doing silent installation using command as mentioned in the above post .

I am attaching log file, please go through it and assist us. Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks and Regards,

The return-code at the end of the installation shows "67" which means it was cancelled by the user.

It looks like you're missing Jre runtimes.

Plus your're using a very old compilation 1 DVD for 7.20

We really recommened using the 7.30 compilation 2 DVD and planning an upgrade to

7.30,as the compilation DVD's for older released are not available on the SAPService Marketplace.

Can you upload some of the older install logs such as nwsapsetup1.log or nwsapsetup2.log

which shows the earlier attempts at the installation?

Best Regards,

Jude

Hi Jude,

thanks for your valuable assistance .

We changed the script as below

@echo off

"C:\Win32\Setup\NwSAPsetup.exe" /product:"SAPGUI710" / silent

Now it is upgrading successfullly from 6.40 to 7.20 .

Thanks again...
