UPGRADE ASSISTANT QUESTIONS for ECC6.0???????911

[Former Member]

I have used upgrade assistant in the past for 4.6C and 4.7 upgrades and had no problems. I am having trouble getting the assistant to work through the internet browers. I need help with a couple of questions:

First: Do I need do a prepare and SERVER option like I had in the past with R3UP?

Second: Is there anything special that needs to be done for ports 4239,4240,4241. I can reach my server through the internet of some of the ports that R3 uses.

It seems the java is not recognizing my i5 server and I am not sure where the disconnect is.

This is the error I am receiving when I try to start the upgrade assistant:

ERROR: Unable to load resource: http://sapdev:4239/ua/uagui.jnlp

Hi all !

I have the same issue, and I found the fix: quit proxy server in IE network settings (or include the fqdn and short name of the host in the list of exceptions)

Cheers !

Usually it's done like

- PREPARE

- exchange SAPup with the newest version

- add your application fix <application>_FIX to /usr/sap/put

- $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp /usr/sap/put/ua/ua.jar UaServer

- give an administrator password

After that the UA should listen on port 4239

You can verify that on the machine via

netstat -tn | grep -i LISTEN | grep 4239

Also check that you have either no proxy or add the box' name to the exception list of the browser (because Java uses that exception list too).

Hi Tanja,

Some remarks:

First, on system i we have the command UASERVER which should do the java call for you:

ADDLIBLE SAPUP
UASERVER DIR_PUT('<upgrade directory>')

Second, the server name in your URL looks different from the name in the cited jnlp. Ever tried using the long name?

Third, did you try http://<host>:4239 as in documentation or http://sapdev:4239/ua/uagui.jnlp? Wasn't clear to me from your posting. If not, give it a try.

HTH,

Thomas
