Error while resetting PREPARE

[Former Member]

I am unable to reset PREPARE...it terminates with the message "Unable

to reset PREPARE".

I see that SAPup is unable to find the transdirectory!

The file being processed here is \usr\sap\put\bin\DEFAULT.TPP and it is

unable to locate the file. I too checked that this file is not available in any directory.

Could this be the problem ?

One more mistake we committed was that after the homogeneous system copy, we had not recreated the transport management system (which was inconsistent). Although we have now updated the STMS, could it be that this is still not updated in some registries or dlls ?

Of course, these are just my assumptions.

Can anyone help in troubleshooting this problem ?

Try deleting the contents of PUT directory (make a

backup copy just in case if you need it) and then run

PREPARE.

Hello Sairam,

The problem has been solved. The error was in the naming of the mount directory path.

As per the upgrade guide - "The maximum length of the mount directory path is 94 characters. It may not contain any blanks or special characters."

But I found that even the above is not true entirely. Even after making the changes and ensuring the mount path to be less than 94 chars, it had problems recognising folder names.

So I made the paths really short....<i>\SM\master</i> etc.

Now it works. And yes, I have deleted the contents of the put directory.

Thanks for replying though.

Regards,

Prasad

the 94 character limit also includes filenames, not just the mount points.
