Where to download software provisioning manager SWPM10 SP01

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am looking for an older version of SWPM, SWPM10SP01, because I would like to install an SAP NW non-unicode based system.

With the last version of software provisioning manager it is only allowed to install Unicode systems.

The issue I am experiencing is as follow:

I installed a new SAP NW System 7.30 and restored oracle database from our PRD on this Test system. After the post-operations I tried to start sap, but the following error occured:

4 ETW000  [dbsloci.c   ,00000]  *** ERROR => Cannot run a unicode kernel against a nonunicode db (NLS_CHARACTERSET='WE8DEC')

I am wondering wether the fastest solution is to reinstall SAP NW based on non-unicode kernel. This way SAP can connect to the db.

To do so, I need to run the installation using the SWPM version SWPM10SP01.

Can someone advise if it is still possible to download this version of SWPM.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Have you tried copying kernel from PRD to test system ?

[Former Member]

I installed the same version of the kernel as in PRD system.

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

I mean, try copying and take a full restart of the DB and applications, is possible take a reboot of the server. If it fails, please share complete logs once.

Copying the kernel from PRD didn't solve the problem.

Please find the logfiles:

trans.txt : trans.log bevor copying kernel

trans2.txt : trans.log after copying kernel from PRD and start SAP & DB.

./disp+work -version

sapcontrol -nr 00 -function GetVersionInfo

Run the above commands and provide the output.

Have you synced the kernel using SAPCPE ?

Can you please provide your kernel and DBSL level ?

compilation mode              UNICODE

You are still using UNICODE kernel.

Replace the kernel with the NON-UNICODE kernel.

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

I can see UNICODE kernel.

Try to copy the kernel in global directory and manually run sapcpe pf=<Instance Profile> and then try again.

Make sure both parts of kernel are copied and updated.

All new installations will be done as Unicode. In your case after restoring the database try to replace the unicode kernel with non-unicode kernel and restart SAP. The other option would be to run system copy using SWPM instead of doing an installation.

Hi Reagan,

I replaced the unicode with non-unicode kernel and tried to start sap, but I'm still getting the same error.

The option 'system copy' needs a downtime of the source system during the export. Unfortunately it's not possible in my case.

To be able to start sap with the new non-unicode kernel, some changes must be done on database level, Any idea which?

If you have replaced the kernel with the correct one then provide the logs after starting the SAP system.

Hi Rishi,

Thanks for your reply.

I installed SAP NW with oracle database 11.2.0.2 on AIX 6.1.
