Solution Manager 7.1 Upgrade error

[former_member1348845]

When we upgrade Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 to  7.1 on Windows2008/Oracle 11.2.0.3

a error occured in phase  MAIN_SHDINST/SUBMOD_SHDALIASCRE/EU_CLONE_CRE_SHDVIEWS!

Error message is following:
**************************************************
Last error code set: R3load/R3ldctl in 'E:\usr\sap\SL1\SUM\abap\exe'
needs to be at least of release 720, restart procedure using new kernel
**************************************************]
But we used kernel 721 patch 201.

We replace this kernel to 720 patch 500 in 'E:\usr\sap\SL1 \SUM\abap\exe'.
And doing "continue"(repeat this phase), same error occurs.

Please teach me solution.

Hi,

It seems you are using a stack file for upgrade where different kernel version mentioned. Please re- generate the stack file, in MOPZ choose the correct kernel to update. So reset the upgrade and start the process with new xml and one kernel release.

Hi,

It is always a good practise to perform a kernel upgrade to the latest patch level, before starting the system upgrade.

Always saves you a ton of effort!

Anyways, 'E:\usr\sap\SL1\SUM\abap\exe' is not the correct destination to extract a newer kernel.

SUM replicates the existing kernel from your kernel directory E:\usr\sap\SL1\SYS\exe\run to the above exe path under SUM directory.

Make sure you have the correct/newer kernel version at this location instead.

Starting SAP after kernel upgrade usually replicates the newer binaries from E:\usr\sap\SL1\SYS\exe\run to E:\usr\sap\SL1\DVEBMGSnn\..\..\exe\run location as well.

Same can be verified using command disp+work issued in Command Prompt.

In case the command shows the older kernel version in use, you need to manually perform the replication.

This should help you with the SUM error.

Hope it helps!

Best Regards,

Tanmeya

How did you replace the kernel? In SAP ABAP+JAVA system, you should use a tool like JSPM or SUM, to do so....Please do the same using tool and check.
