SAPCAR error on UNIX AIX

[Former Member]

Hi experts

Am trying to apply SPS to our EP 7.0 portal. So I downloaded the files from SMP and dumped them into /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in directory including the SAPCAR file. I renamed the SAPCAR_XXX(some file name ) to SAPCAR.

I am getting errors while trying to uncar some SAR files. SAPCAR itself resides in /EPS/in

SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR

SAPCAR: processing archive /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR (version 2.01)

x R3ldctl

SAPCAR: could not open for writing R3ldctl (error 28). Permission denied

If i try it from EPS directory

usr/sap/trans/EPS >> SAPCAR -xvf /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR

SAPCAR: processing archive /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR (version 2.01)

x R3ldctl

SAPCAR: error in GetEntryData(); unknown block type (error 100). No such file or directory

All the SAR files have 777 permision.

Please advise .

Hi,

Am trying to apply SPS to our EP 7.0 portal

you are trying to apply support package on EP 7.0 for that you should use JSPM.

SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR is a kernel file. why are you extract it in /eps/in ???

SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR
SAPCAR: processing archive /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SAPEXEDB_114-20000979.SAR (version 2.01)
x R3ldctl
SAPCAR: could not open for writing R3ldctl (error 28). Permission denied

for this error check sap not Note 130683 - SAPCAR, CAR can't query current working directory
