ECC 6.0 Upgrade : Error on phase STOPSAP_IUPG

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I'm really new with AS400.Really need ur help on this.Here's the scenario :

- Data from production has been transfered into interim server - i5 series (with latest OS ver.,DB2 and awful low specs - been setup this thing since last week!)

- Because of the system are too slow, sometimes I have to manually start/stop the sap on some phases.But on this phase (STOPSAP_IUPG), I got this error :

Error message CPF0006 running 'STOPSAP SID(PRD) INSTANCE(02) STARTUPSRV(*YES)'

SAPup error message

SAPup> SYSTEM STOP failed, code -1

- Thing is, I already kill the process manually on saposcol and when I executed the script above, It got an error that 'something' could not determined (sorry guys, I couldn't find the log bout this error.)

- I also noticed that on the iSeries navigator - the system called startupsrv are on <SID>ADM but not on <SID>ofr.But this user I'd changed it based on the SAPNotes that I've read.

- If I ignore this, I have to provide a password from SAP to skip this phase which I think the reply from them will be quite slow.

Really appreciate it if you guys can give me any suggestions. Thanks in return

Solved!!

Sorry for ur trouble guys, turn out that I have to put DIR_EXECUTABLE = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run on the SID instances.Dont know why but it works.It's totally different from windows.

Now I've got another problem, when its continuing another phase(PARMVNT_IUPG), there's been a network interruption.So when I continue the SAPup, It gives me this message :

Another SAPup (started first) ", ID " 29"...

Severe internal inconsistency, aborted.

>>> PLEASE READ THE HELP TEXT <<<

>>> H E L P - T E X T <<<

This error indicates that the R3up status file was modified.

CAUTION: Do not touch this file under any circumstances.

When I look at the PARMVNT_IUPG log files, it says that the process completed already.Hope u guys can give me a hint to solve this.

Thanks in return

I've had the same problem on several upgrades, and not only in phase STOPSAP_IUPG , but also sometimes on phase STOP_SHDI_LAST.

Trying to do 'by hand' what the upgreade itself tries to do as <SID>OFR:

STOPSAP SID(P01) INSTANCE(31) STARTUPSRV(*YES)

-> error StopInstance: Error stopping sapstartsrv for instance 31 of system P01.

O4STPSAP: Stopping instance 31 of system P01 on host SAPDEV03 failed.

My solution has been to replace the O4STPSAP object in the current kernel by an older one from another kernel:

O4STPSAP *PGM SAPP03OPT 08/24/07 22:46:27

-> Error using this version

O4STPSAP *PGM SAP700OPT 06/19/06 20:22:55 -> use this kernel to stop sap -> Ok

Next time I'll try your solution before starting the upgrade, hopefully it will prevent this error

Hi Paul,

what you are doing here, is VERY risky !

You should try to do it with another idea ...

I use the following solution:

Set in Start & Instance profile the following:

(otherwise you might run into an error in Phase STOPSAP_IUPG)

DIR_CT_RUN = $(DIR_EXE_ROOT)/run

DIR_EXECUTABLE = /usr/sap/D12/SYS/exe/run

Hi Hazrienne,

I would say, if you have never seen OS/400, you should not drive an upgrade there ;-(((

Based on that information, momst likely nobody is able to help you. It is NEVER a solution to speed things up with KILL or similar. You have ti fix the root cause !

btw:

saposcol slways stays active after start & stopsap but this is not your real issue.

YES, the shadow instance is running with SIDADM - but this is not yoru problem either ..
