Spam, process freezed in IMPORT_PROPER DD Activation

[Former Member]

Hi, I'm new in applying support packages and basis.

I've installed NW2004 and applyied some pachs. Almost all the patchs get a freeze processing in "dd activation" then I stopped the transaction, tryied again and the process got finished (I don't know why this behaviour).

Now I'm trying to process a queue with basis patchs from 15 to 20 and abap also 15 to 20. The process get freezed as in the previous patchs, but when I cancel and try to continue it still gets freeze in "dd activation". Last lines of log shows:

-

---

Import phase 'RUN_SPDD_?' (31.05.2007, 07:50:32)

Import phase 'RUN_SPDD_?' was already processed -> skip phase

-

---

Import phase 'DDIC_ACTIVATION' (31.05.2007, 07:50:32)

Import phase 'DDIC_ACTIVATION' was already processed -> skip phase

-

---

Import phase 'IMPORT_PROPER' (31.05.2007, 07:50:32)

Could any guru help me?

Thanks in advance,

Dear,

As per SAP recommendation,

1. go for latest SPAM/SAINT upgrade patch

2, then install latest SAP_BASIS patches, before applying patches read corresponding SAP note & define proper queue. Once the queue is selected start patching

3, go for SAP_ABA etc...

Do not put all patches altogether, sometime system resources may not be sufficient and system will hang.

Answer for question

1. if its stuck in DDIC_activation, check tp system log, what is says..

sometimes it may hang due to RDDIMPDP job is not running properly.

2. Check tp is running

if nothing is happening u have to start patching at OS level using tag spam command.

Its risky to play with OS commands if u r not master in applying patches.

please log call with SAP.
