SAPOSCOL upgrade not happening.

Hello,

We are trying to upgrade version of SAPOSCOL.

We had followed the following stepls

>saposcol -k ( kill saposcol )

>mv saposcol saposcol.old

>cp /saposcol_version98/saposcol . ( new saposcol copy it to kernel directory)

> saposcol -l ( restart saposcol )

********************

But the new saposcol shows the old version only.

*********************

lux09208:paladm 77> saposcol -version

Saposcol Version: COLL 20.79 03/08/22 46D - hpxOscol 07/2003

idleinterval 60 sec.

**********************

The version showd here is 20.79 and not 98.

Q) Where can we see the patch level of saposcol ?

Q) Has the saposcol really upgraded ?

We had tried restarting the system. Restults are some.

Hello,

81 is version number.

Check dev_coll.log header section for example

SAPOSCOL version COLL 20.95 700 - 20.70 NT 09/11/24, 64 bit, multithreaded, Non-Unicode

compiled at Dec 21 2009

systemid 562 (PC with Windows NT)

relno 7000

patch text COLL 20.95 700 - 20.70 NT 09/11/24

patchno 237

intno 20050900

running on CHCIOS116 Windows NT 5.2 3790 Service Pack 2 2x AMD64 Level 6 (Mod 23 Step 6)

Hi,

I would check the $PATH variable .... maybe you did not replace the saposcol from the path int he $PATH variable ?

In addition to Hannes's suggestion:

Unix which command is quite useful for finding out which program file will really be executed.

As user <sid>adm type:

which saposcol

Which saposcol finally leads to kernel directory where i replaced the new saposcol. you can see the uncarred file taken from

service market place also.

$Path I dont know how to see.

Again my question is "How to see PATCH level of saposcol" . Does COLL 22.81 means '81' is patch number ? Version number ?

The group of the new saposcol is not 'sapsys'

Could you execute the following command and verify ?

chgrp sapsys saposcol

cheers !

I have a similar problem. Installation of saposcol is not the issue.

I downloaded file <saposcol_106_20000040.car> and in service market place it said "Patch level 106".

Now after installing this file I get the output

****

s96csp24:ic1adm 5> saposcol -v

09:11:34 29.06.2010 WARNING: Effective userid not root! Expect problems !

Saposcol Version: COLL 20.81 07/01/20 46D - hpxOscol 07/2003

****

Q) There is something called version 20.81 and not "Patch". ?

Q) Where can see the patch ? Do i consider "81" as patch level. But I used patch level 106 from Service market place.

I am confused between version and patch and I feel "I dont know how to see patch level of saposcol"

Help.

You forgot one important step: saposcol needs to be executed as effective user root.

Either execute "./saproot.sh <SID>" in the kernel directory or do

chown root saposcol

chmod 4755 saposcol

> Q) Where can we see the patch level of saposcol ?

> Q) Has the saposcol really upgraded ?

to which directory did you copy that? to check which saposcol is started execute

which saposcol

is that the one you replaced?
