SUM SP07 and Java 5.6. execution and the <SID> subfolder within SUM-Java-dir

[christoph_ostrop]

An error has occurred during the execution of the STOP_SCS_INITIAL_ADDIN phase.

Could not stop AS Java instance with name SCS and number 10 of the standard system.

Could not execute operating system process for action stop on instance 10. Process ID is 17, process name is o4upgtools.

Could not run OS process o4upgtools for action stop. Could not start process /usr/sap/EXE/SUM/java/exe/o4upgtools.

Error while executing process /usr/sap/EXE/SUM/java/exe/o4upgtools. java.io.IOException:

Cannot run /usr/sap/EXE/SUM/java/exe/o4upgtools - exec failed (ENOENT - A file or directory in the path name does not exist.). java.io.IOException: Cannot run /usr/sap/EXE/SUM/java/exe/o4upgtools - exec failed (ENOENT - A file or directory in the path name does not exist.).

our (for PI-systems) used SIDs are:

EXE = PI-development

EXT = PI-test/qs

EXP = PI-prod

and as i know, the used SIDs are not one of the forbidden SIDs

but

when SUM is trying to create the <SID> specific Sub-folder under \usr\sap\EXE\SUM\java\,

\usr\sap\EXE\SUM\java\EXE\....... <=== the last EXE is the SID

and this seems to override (and destroy) the directory:

\usr\sap\EXE\SUM\java\exe\..... with executables for SUM

that is why the executables can not called,

because this directory \usr\sap\EXE\SUM\java\exe\   did not exist anymore

is this possible ???? 

and how to go on?????       yes i already have a support-ticket ........ but .........

Hello Christoph,

As per my knowledge in windows environment its not possible that two different folder can exists with same name(EXE and exe)

In Linux/Unix environment its possible where naming convention in case sensitive.

To test this you can try to create some dummy folder with same name (one with CAPS ON and one with CAPS OFF)

And probably i expect EXE is forbidden System ID.

we are on IBM-i with DB2-for-i (fka: DB2/400)

it has support for several file systems under the IFS  

(http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/ifs/rzaaxfsknow.htm)

e.g.

root-fs - did not differ between lower- and upper-case characters

QOpenSys-fs did differ between lower- and upper-case characters

and more ....

The QOpenSys file system has the same characteristics as the "root" (/) file system,

except it is case sensitive to enable support for UNIX-based open systems standards.

so, SAP has a SW-design-error in SUM-directory naming

Hi Christoph,

Do you got any update from SAP in OSS support ticket ??

Regards, KK

[christoph_ostrop]

it looks that some support guys only did hear about Win or Unix, but nothing about other os in the sap world,

i really hope, that sap support now has understand the issue, i am talking about.

Until now, i did not get a solution to this yet , it is only a ticket with prio "very high"

funnily enough sap describes this as support

[christoph_ostrop]

is it possible, that this issue is corresponding to this one:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3377950

and sap-note 1873177

https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1873177

that looks for me like a software-concept mistake, and that means a stop for our upgrade.

so, upgrades of doublestack PI-system is inpossible, new software is not available yet.

Hi Christoph,

Since you have created a Support Ticket, Wait for the solution there.

Mean while, as my logic, what if you make a copy \usr\sap\EXE\SUM\java\exe _orig in the beginning of upgrade and change its name back to \usr\sap\EXE\SUM\java\exe once you get the this error  and continue ??

thanks for your reply,

this probably would help for one step,

but i think, i can not do this for the whole remaining SUM-processes ?

- so i will wait first what SAP support suggest.

Hi Christoph,

As i updated above , I would also wait for SAP support
