How do I patch R3trans during the prepare phase?

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

During the prepare phase (upgrade from 4.6C to ERP2005 SR2) I get an error in the module "02 Initialization".

From the CHECKS.LOG file:

ERROR: The executable R3trans in /usr/sap/put/exe

is too old.

It needs a release date of

07.05.07 or later.

Please proceed as described in note 19466.

My question is how do I update the R3trans file in /usr/sap/put/exe? With APYR3FIX? I know how to patch a "normal" 4.6D or 7.00 kernel, but I have newer patched a kernel file in the put catalog. I have read SAP note 661569, but this note is not helping me...

Please help me. Thank you.

Best regards

Hi Henrik,

first of all you should use at least 116 and not 113 that I used and crashed then later on ...

You should logon with d01ofr (or sidofr):

(I would definetely sapcar the stuff with Won sapcar as the format changed and then ftp it binary to i5 into a SAVF in my case LIB PATCHES)

APYR3FIX SID(D01) SAVF(PATCHES/R3TRANS)

SAVLIB(GEN700AOPT) KRNLIB(SAP700OPT) GETSAVF(*NO)

EXEPATH('/usr/sap/put/exe')

APYSAP TYPE(KERNEL) SID(D01) DSTLIB(SAP700OPT) DSTDIR('/usr/sap/put/exe') MODE(INCR)

If you want to be "200%" correct:

APYR3FIX SID(D01) SAVF(PATCHES/R3TRANS)

SAVLIB(GEN700AOPT) KRNLIB(SAP700NEW) GETSAVF(*NO)

EXEPATH('/usr/sap/put/exe')

(but without APYSAP)

Hi Henrik,

The relevant note in this case would be 822296. In section I) you find a detailed description of how to apply patches. Read it carefully!

Without having it tried explicitly for now, I would assume that you should succed with the following:

Logon as SIDOFR

remove the kernel library from LIBL

add the 700 kernel library

APYR3FIX for the R3trans patch and the 700 kenel library

APYSAP for the 700 kernel library and DSTDIR(<DIR_PUT>/exe)

HTH,

Thomas
