hi

May anyone assit me with this problem.My upgrade assistant is coming up with an error in /usr/sap/put/exe saying that its too old.so i downloaded the latest one with a higher release date older than 07.05.07 and replaced R3trans in /exe and exenew then i restarted prepare from where it left but still comes up with the same error.

iam running Upgrade assistant 3.0 and i dont know whether it need to be patched.i tried patching with the latest one and replaced SAPup in /usr/sap/put/bin but it was coming up with an error UVERS ,something to do with version mismatching .If iam to patch it what is the correct way and how do i put Fixes if there are there?

so i dont know where its getting wrong.Any ideas appreciated

Hi,

Please exchange in the very beginning of the PREPARE (just after

the kernel is unpacked from the DVD), e.g. after the first module,

the TP and the R3trans in the /usr/sap/put/exe directory, of course, you need here the TP and R3trans for the target release.

Please, do not replace the TP and R3trans in the following directories:

/usr/sap/put/preexe

/usr/sap/put/pretools

/usr/sap/put/tools

Please do not touch the content of these directories, because they

contain special versions of the tools that are needed during the

Upgrade and PREPARE.

Thanks,

George

hello,

you have to download the latest r3trans and tp of the version you want to upgrade, and put them on /usr/sap/put/exe.

I have the same problem on one 4.6C on windows&mssql and it runs correctly!!!
