Patching EP 640, Trying to apply SP19

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I’m trying to bring EP 6.40 system to the latest SP stack (19) and run into the following error:

“You entered …SAPINST-CD Found label SAP:EP_60NW_VAL_REL:630:SAPINST:. but need label MSSQL:WAS-J2EE-Patch:630:SAPINST:.“

My system:

Windows 2003 (32bit), MS SQL Server, EP 6.40 SP Stack 14 (J2EE engine + Portal, no ABAP)

Packages downloaded from service.sap.com/sp-stacks:

EP6PORTAL19_0-20000394.SAR

EP6TOOLS19_0-20000394.SAR

SAPINST19_0-10002786.SAR

EP6CTRL19_0-10002786.SAR

EP6KMC19_0-10002972.SAR

SAPINST19_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLDB219_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLDB419_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLDB619_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLMSS19_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLORA19_0-20000118.SAR

CTRLSAPDB19_0-20000118.SAR

J2EERTOS19_0-20000118.SAR

J2EERT19_0-10001982.SAR

Did any one encounter anything similar?

Hello,

According to the Installation guide you have to extract the SAR files in the following order:

1. SAPINST<SP>.SAR and CTRL<DB><SP>.SAR These archives are extracted to the subdirectory SAPINST-CD of <sp_directory>.

2. J2EERT<SP>.SAR

3. J2EERTOS<SP>.SAR J2EE*.SAR files are extracted to the subdirectory J2EE-RUNT-CD of <sp_directory>.

Then when you start the sapinst you have to specify the location of some of those directories. I think you are trying to specify wrong folder. Try with the directory where CTRLMSS19_0-20000118.SAR was extracted.

If you still experience the error attach a screenshot of it and the sapinst.log.

HI,

The problem is that you Installation master is asking you to enter the DVD location where the MSSQL:WAS is located. Each and every DVD you extract would contain a LABEL.ASC file. This file contains the details of the DVD. Why don't to look into the DVD folder which you have entered and chek the LABEL.ASC file. IT indeed would be SAP:EP_60NW_VAL_REL:630:SAPINST:. .

But the Installation master is expecting a DVD whose LABEL.ASC file reads as

MSSQL:WAS-J2EE-Patch:630:SAPINST:.“. So you have to provide the suitable DVD whose LABEL.ASC file reads the above.

Hi

First you have to extract these SAR files:

How to Uncar a SAR file:

1.Go to \usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64 and use <b>SAPCAR</b> to uncar those sar files.

2. After uncaring you will get few folders one of which will have SAPINST

3.CTRLSAPDB.SAR

J2EERT19.SAR

J2EERTOS19.SAR

SAPINST19.SAR

The above files will yield you two folders j2eecd and sapinst cd .sapinst cd contains sapinst.exe you have to run this.The above four files are only for engine.

4.Similarly the other files will yield you folders to patch your portal.

Any issues feel free to ask.

Hello Everyone,

What Rajat suggested worked. Originally I just did “sapcar –xvf *”

Thank you all for your responses. It’s greatly appreciated
