ERROR: The upgrade procedure needs a patched version of the tools

[daniel_piggott-genge]

Hello,

I have this error coming up in SUM and I know this is normally a simple fix of downloading the appropriate SAR files and putting them in the download directory, however I am trying to upgrade from a NW 7.00 system running the 721 Kernel to NW 7.40 and the 742 kernel. 

This message is coming up and showing me the following :

Kernel Type:	exe	I:\SUM\abap\exe
	Code Page:	Unicode
	Update the download directory
	Tool:	disp+work	Solvable issue
		Variable	Current	Required	E
		Release	721	742	*
		Patchlevel	400
		Date	Dec 7 2014 19:34:14
		Make Variant	721_EXT_REL

So I have downloaded and placed dw_218-20012222.sar in the download directory, this is 742 disp+work package. 

I then re run the step but it still says the file version is wrong.  Initially it also wanted an new R3trans and TP and I got those SAR files and it was fine, but this one won't have it!

Anyone got any ideas what I can do ?

Thank you,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I would suggest to make sure that you download below kernel files for your target system.

SAPEXE
SAPEXEDB
tp
R3trans

and put them in download directory. Once done , repeat the phase.

Gaurav,

Thank you for the suggestions putting the 742 SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB into the download directory fixed.

Thanks for your help.

Dear daniel,

  Hope you are doing good.

I think it would be a good idea to create the   MOPZ stack again, add the right files and then start the SUM upgrade.

Hope this helps.
