Hi Bhupendra,

I too m doing the same changes in the system.

But while importing the request in developement client it ends with errors. ( RC=8 ).

The error says : Object FORM J_1IEWT_CERT has not yet been imported successfully

Did you face any such error while transporting. if yes; can you please share what was the solution for the same.

If anybody else had come across this issue; please let me know the solution.

Thanks.

Hi

- Go to the directory where you want to decompress via the "cd" command

- SAPCAR -xvf <your-SAR-file>

On AS/400: SAPCAR '-xvf <your-SAR-file>'

- Then all files and directories, that are stored in this archive,

become decompressed.

To list the contents of an archive:

SAPCAR -t[vs][f archive]

Hope this helps.

Cheers

whtn i run SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

it says ksh: sapcar not found, in AIX 5.1

[Former Member]

Look at /sapmnt/<SID>/exe, SAPCAR should be located there.

If you run SAPCAR as a different user than <sid>adm, try to specify the full path:

/sapmnt/<SID>/exe/SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

but this also does not work

i tried in directory /sapmnt/sid/exe / SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

<i>> i tried in directory /sapmnt/sid/exe / SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR </i>

Did you replace <SID> with the system ID of your SAP system? E.g., if the system ID of your system is PRD, try

/sapmnt/PRD/exe/SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

Or better, log on as <sid>adm (e.g. prdadm, if the system ID of your system is PRD), and run

SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

yes i issued /sapmnt/CRD/exe/SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

[Former Member]

<i>> yes i issued /sapmnt/CRD/exe/SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR</i>

what error do you get?

Can you do a

ls -l /sapmnt/CRD/exe/SAPCAR

What happens if you call

SAPCAR -xvf TDS.SAR

as user crdadm?

You can download SAPCAR from the same location where you find kernel patches for you SAP system, the location for e.g. NW2004 would be:

http://service.sap.com/swdc

-> Download

-> Support Packages and Patches

-> Entry by Application Group

-> SAP NetWeaver

-> SAP NETWEAVER

-> SAP NETWEAVER 04

-> Entry by Component

-> Application Server ABAP

-> SAP KERNEL 6.40 64BIT

-> AIX 64bit

-> #Database independent

You may have to adapt the path to match your SAP Release, OS etc.

This looks like a transport, K252127.P6B is the cofile and R252127.P6B the datafile.

Ask the person who gave you the SAR file for more details...

this sar file is a attachment in note number 1046758

if you know about please suggest me what this note says.

we have applied corrections, do we need to apply this sar file also or what else

[Former Member]

Hi,

reading the note, I found that it refers to the notes 480180 and 13719 for more information about applying the patch. I can not tell you wether you have to apply this patch or not...

The patch seems to contain a changed SAP Script form due to some legal changes in India - if you need the changes to this form, you'll have to apply it.

Basically - this is what note 13719 says - copy the cofile to /usr/sap/trans/cofiles, the data file to /usr/sap/trans/data, go to STMS, add P6BK252127 to the import queue (open the import queue of your system, go to Extras -> Other Requests -> Add) of your system and import it. Note 13719 says to import from the operating system level by calling tp directly, using STMS should also work.

Best regards,

Elmar.
