Restart ABAP Import

[Former Member]

I'm installing ERP 2005; the database instance. The ABAP import I have an error and I would like to start the ABAP import from the beginning.

Is this possible? Or do I need to start the DB instance again (I want to use the same SID)

I know the problem.

Log:

(TSK) ERROR: Missing entry at line 17808 in file /tempinst/sapinst_instdir/ERP/SYSTEM/ORA/DISTRIBUTED/AS-ABAP/DB/SAPAPPL1_1.TSK

(DB) INFO: disconnected from DB

/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/R3load: job finished with 1 error(s)

/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/R3load: END OF LOG: 20070504123513

When I look at my SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck; the following line is incomplete:

D KWDELTA

Basicallay my orginal SAPAPPL1_1.TSK never generated completely. I want to create a new .TSK; but it is not generating. I'm using command:

R3load –ctf I SAPAPPL1_1.STR /tempinst/DDLORA.TPL SAPAPPL1_1.TSK ORA -l SAPAPPL1_1.log

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

Your situation is described in note #455195 R/3 load: Use of TSK files,

where the entries missing in the TSK file must be manually

transferred from the bck file. You must then rename the bck file.

ie: copy TSK file to somewhere,

copy BCK file to TSK file.

After this, re-start sapinst and continue with the installation.

Thanks,

Thanks but it's not that simple. The *.TSK.bak is incomplete.

So when I try to merge it fails. So I want to create a new *.TSK and copy it to *.TSK.bak and merge with the "orginial" *.TSK file.

Hi,

Ok, firstable if you have TSK.bck in the installation directory. It means that process for SAPAPPL1_1 has been terminated abnormally, if you re-start the R3SETUP the error occurs since R3SETUP finds the .bck (back up) file.

You can then:

1. delete (or move) SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck file from inst.dir.

2. re-generate new SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck using command:

R3load -ctf I SAPAPPL1_1.STR DDLORA.TPL SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck ORA

( please check the exact name and syntax, I am not quite sure)

After you have regenerated new .bck file, you can proceed as described in

note 455195. After that you will have a clear and consistent

state of TSK files and database.

You might also want to find why file SAPAPPL1_1.TSK was not created properly and solve the problem (Ctrl+C, power off or disk space?)

Thanks,

George

Re-start the import from scratch (recommended by SAP)

Hi,

What do you mean start from begining? Do you mean restart installation from begining? Or restart from APAP import?

You should find out the error from the log or screen and try to fix it, after that you should be able to continue, sap installer does remember the installation progress and will generally restartable once the error is fixed. Do you have any error message? Maybe you can send it to us?

If you choose to restart from begining please note all the data will be wiped and recreated.

Thanks,

George
