ECC6 EHP4 Ready NetWeaver 701, XML file

HI Guys, I just finished installing ERP6.0 Netweaver EHP1 on HPUX and Oracle 10 g database. I want to upgrade the EHP4 components and my problem is Solution Manager is 4.0.
I am sure you have seen this tread many times, please ignore my ignorance, I am just lost reading so many treads in this regards.
How do I generate the XML file needed for EHP4 on solman 4.0?
Regards and many thanks.

Hi,
> 1. One thing that I did, I did not include IS-oil and IS_UT stacks. Would this cause any issue?
What ever package you want to upgrade in your system should be included in the xml file.
> 2. EHP installer is not able to connect to solman to fetch the xml file. I have to move the file to another directory. Should it be >EPS/in or any other directory like /tmp will work?
This file should present in download directory which you have defined.
> 3. Since I have installed EHP4 ready system, can I use sapinst to install the EHP4? I do not find ehp installer friendly at all?
>
There is no way in sapinst that you can upgrade your existing system. You have to use ehpi tool only to upgrade add-on's. This tool is very good if you have read the upgrade book carefully.
Thanks

Installing ECC6 EHP4 ready - Oracle Client extraction

Hi,
I am installing an ECC6 EHP4 ready system.
Our server has multuple systems running on the server with Oracle Database and oracle client is already available.
During instalation, sapinst always tries to extract Oracle client and we dont want this, so we always rename the OCL10264.SAR file to OCL10264.SAR.OLD or something like that and the sapinst step fails.
Then we just modify the keydb.xml file and make the step - OK.
I dont see this option now with ECC6+EHP4 installation.
The Keydb.xml looks different too.
Does anyone know how I can ignore this step and continue with this new release?
Even though I see a lot of improvements in SAPINST with the new release, it would be bad if this step or any other step cannot be ignored anymore.
Please suggest
Suhail

Problem solved....during the initial stages of the installation while it gathers all information, it checks and makes sure that the client software is available but doesnt extract it....i made it available and the installation went ahead....it extract it later before the database installation and at that time I removed it and when the installation failed, I was able to modify the keydb.xml file.

Description:
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server db1erp$. The target name used was cifs/db2prd. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on, and only registered on, the account used by the server. This error can also happen when the target service is using a different password for the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) has for the target service account. Please ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both updated to use the current password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (BITIS.VN) is different from the client domain (BITIS.VN), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.

CU&UC from ECC5 to ECC6 Ehp4

Hi,
We are planning to run a CU&UC from a NUC ECC5.00 system to UC ECC6 Ehp4/NW 7.01 and need to check if this is supported.
I have trawled through OSS/SDN etc and cannot see anything to say that it is not, but an OSS message placed regarding the supportability said that this is not possible as "ECC6 EHP4 SR1 Media is available as UNICODE ONLY, so you
will not be able to perform 'normal' CU&UC using 'EHP4 ready"
There is a NUC 7.01 kernel available, so I am not sure what SAP mean by this??
Regards,
Mark

Hi 'Basis Team',
The original question was "We are planning to run a CU&UC from a NUC ECC5.00 system to UC ECC6 Ehp4/NW 7.01 and need to check if this is supported." is pretty clear I think.
What muddied the water is a reply from SAP to an OSS message placed asking the above question where they say that this is not possible as there are no NUC ABAP loads delivered after ECC6 SR3.
This reply goes against all SAP doco that we have read, and as you say, you have done the same CU&UC that we are tring to achieve.
BTW, which upgrade kit did you use? The Ecc6 Ehp4 Ready SRx one??
Cheers,
Mark

EHP4 - Stack XML file related issue

Hi,
I have the following two issues from DSWP tcode (or solution_manager):
1. From DSWP code -> Change Management -> Maintenance Optimizer, New
Maintenance Transaction and i select the ERP system , then i select the radio button Enhancement Package Installation after which it is showing a drop down from where i can
select EHP4 installation and second drop down i can select support
stack 03. But if i do the same thing again by coming out and going back
in on the same day it is showing only support stack 01, Next day again
for one time it is showing.. --- Why is it like this ?
2. Also after selecting the EHP4 version, support stack 03 it log's on
to the ERP system and it comes out with lot of components from
which if i select some of them and deselect some of them as per our
need, it continues to next screen and confirms the file from download
manager and also the XML file gets's created but unfortunately the XML
file contains all components including the one we deselect because of
which we ended up in doing all shown components last week. We
are in a stage of applying another technical usage and the xml is
created with all the components again. Any idea how to avoid this ?
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi,
The problem might be configuration of your system in SMSY transaction ...Because if some componenets you have selected there will come as selected by default...
Moreover go to SAP Note 1134872 - Maintenance Optimizer: FAQ for Stack Delta Files and related sap note to this note which contains problems related to MOPZ and stack xml file..
Thanks

How to download the xml file with netweaver 2004s

I am trying to find the xml file in order to link R/3 to my portal
I installed Netweaver 2004s but I am not able to link to R/3
I heard that I can use another xml file from another server and download it and change the config to match the new server
JF

Hi JF,
Michael is right in EP5, system are defined in XML file. use the following properties you will able to create system connecting to R/3.
choose System Administration->System Configuration-> System Landscape.
Create a system of SAP_R/3_Dedicated type system
Select the Connector from the Property category dropdown
Application Host : <R/3 Host name>
SAP Client: <Clent no>
SAP System ID (SID):
Server Port:
SAP System Number
System Type: SAP_R3
Select the User Management from the Property category dropdown
Logon Method - UIDPW
User Mapping Type - Admin,user
Select System Aliases in the Edit dropdown list.
This opens the System Alias Editor, and displays the existing list of aliases created for this system. Add the system alias here.
Select the test connection in the Edit dropdown list:
test the connection
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks

Inbound XML file into ECC6 .. is middleware required?

Hi
We are running SAP ECC6 and do not have SAP XI.
An external system needs us to send an outbound WMTORD in XML format. We have configured the XML port and succesfully got an xmla file out of the system.
The external system will return a WMSUMO idox in XML format. ... but I am unclear if SAP can process this directly without some middleware or having to run special function modules (somehow?!).
Can anyone help clarify what needs to be done for the inbound xml file ... do I create a file port and SAP simply converts the xml into normal format?
I see some post about running function modules .. im not cleear on what program is used to run these
Any help appreciated
Thx

HI,
To answer your question specifically, No, there is no need for an middleware for your case.
You can just create an inbound port of type xml file port and do the necessary IDOC inbound configuration and that should be enough.

hello all!
i resolve the problem using:

EHP4 installation on EHP4 Ready ECC 6.0

HI,
I have completed the installation of ECC 6.0 EHP4 Ready SR1 version. Currently my Netweaver Stack is on 701 and all other ECC components on 600. 
We want to upgrade the SAP the EHP4 version. But the server is not accepting the generated stack file. We have correctly chosen the required technical usage and the target stack is also proper in the stack file. 
We are getting the below error.

WE have tried regenerating the stack files couple of times, but no hope. Should the SAP have a permanent license to proceed with the EHP4 installation. 
Is there any thing I am missing? 
Kindly help .

Hi,
4 ETQ399 ... Error reading stack info (rc=-1, reason="The stack configuration is not valid for the system XX1, inst.-no. INITIAL")
Just to make sure, have you generated and applied "Permanent License" ?
If not, Then generate both Product License and Maintenance license key on Service Market Place and install it on newly installed server.
Then try again...

I am trying to upgrade our XI system to EhP1 - SP04. I use Maintenance Optimizer in our Solution Manager (SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0) to select the necessary files for my upgrade. The XI system has been set up in SMSY an given a Logical Component. Also, added to the Solution Landscape. I use the SAPehpi-installer to upgrade XI.
However, when I get to section three, I am supposed to provide the SMSDXML.xml file. This file is not created by our Solution Manager for some reason. The file, as I understand it, is supposed to be generated automatically during Maintenance Optimizer. But when I check the EPS and EPS/in folder of our solman, the file is not to be found. I have also checked the parameter DIR_EPS_ROOT in RZ11. It is correct. The authorization has been set to full on group Everyone, just to check if that could be the problem, but with no luck.
When I use transaction /n/tmwflow/mopz_stack i am able to view the XML file (I assume that it is the correct file), but any attempt to copy the text displayed, and to save it as an XML-file has not resulted in any success.
The only thing I have to go on, is a warning displayed in Maintenance Optimizer, stating: "Warning - No SLM configured in system - <SID>. Every document etc, Iu2019ve read sais that one can use Software Lifecycle Manager as an alternative to Download Basket. I havenu2019t seen SLM listed as a prereq, so I donu2019t believe that this could be the reason why the XML-file is not generated.
Is there some setup/configuration Iu2019ve missed?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Stian

I downloaded the SPSTab.xml from SMP, but it didnt work. It gave an error: "The selected configuration file ("C:EHP1SPSTab.xml") is not usable. Reason: "Stackfile not found""
I have used the dockument in the link you provided as a basis for my upgrade. So I still need this to work in order to upgrade my XI Netweaver 7.0 to Enhancement Package 1...
In the document you provided:
Section 3 SAP Solution Manager
3.1 Support Package Level of SAP Solution Manager (Check - Mine is EHP1)
3.2 System Landscape (SMSY) of SAP Solution Manager (Check - as stated above in opening post)
3.3 SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (Check)
3.4 SAP Solution Manager Troubleshooting: (Check)
3.4.4 No Stack Configuration File is generated: This is the core of my problem... I have read the notes listed, and run the IMG activity under Maintenance Optimizer, as per note 1134872. I get an warning stating "SAP ChaRM auto-configuration warnings" This could be the source of the problem, but in the thread Re: Message no. IMG_FASTCONF028 in Charm SolManiac says that it is nothing to worry about.
So to summarise:
I an still unable to generate XML file in Solman, and I am uable to get the XML downloaded from SMP to work with SAPehpi.

(EDIT: I am however not shure if the settings under SMSY etc are 100% correct, but in my mind, that should prevent Maintenance Optimizer from generating the XML file)

MOPZ has issues calculating stack XML file in SOLUTION MANAGER

Hello,
We have a SOLUTION MANAGER system on NW 7.0 EHP1 SP stack level at initial support stack (ISS).
Recently we upgraded all our R/3 systems to ECC6.0 EHP4 SPS04 and now we are trying to upgrade the stack level to EHP4 SPS07. So we are trying to get a XML file from MOPZ but no luck.
The backend system has all the correct data updated in SMSY and all looks fine but while we try to calculate the stack for EHP4 SPS07 it ends with error like below mentioned.
Please look into the errors and throw some light if anyone has come across the same.
Error details:
System Messages
Type Message Text
Error The Installation/Upgrade Package for Add-on EA-APP L rel. 600 is not available
Error ABAP queue check failed
But the backend system has EA-APPL level at 604, we do not know why it is looking for installation/upgrade package for
EA-APPL 600.

hi
can you check the sap note
1. Note 1277035 - Solution Manager: EHP4 product data missing
might be this could be the reason for your issue
or
check the thread already discussed the same and the solution also provided
[EHP4 upgrade error on SAPK-603DHINEAPS|EHP4 upgrade error on SAPK-603DHINEAPS]
////////////////It seems that there is a small bug in teh software vector for EA-PS.
Essentially, SAINT prevents you from going forward because it thinks that you don't have the correct version of EA-PS installed.
The solution for this is described in OSS Note: 1143022
"To import EA-PS in a system that already has the level EA-APPL 604, load the attached file ACP_EAPS.SAR into your system (SPAM-> Support Package -> Load Packages -> from Frontend) before you start the import using SAPehpi. Otherwise, an error may occur in the queue calculation, which can be solved by reloading the ACP"////////////////////////

EHP4 installation - problem with stack files

Hello all,
I installed ERP 6.0 EHP4 ready and would like to install EHP4 with sapehpi.
I have a problem with my XML stack files because it contains kernel 69 for all os and db.
This stack file has been generated in the MOPZ and MOPZ don't ask me to select kernel files.
I don't see the option Select OS/DB-dependent files in MOPZ.
Solution Manager version is 7.01 SPS23
What would be the solution?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Olivier

Hello Markus,
Thanks for your answer.
I fixed the problem by executing once again the following activity in spro. Really strange because I already did it and got the message that the activation was successfull. Anyway if someone encounter this problem, please do the following:
1. Perform IMG activity "Configuration of Extended Functions" (IMG Activity Key: SOLMAN_MOPZ_SLM_CONF), which is delivered as of ST400 SP15.
a) Call transaction code SPRO.
b) Click button "SAP Reference IMG"
c) Use CTRL+F and input "Configuration of Extended Functions" to search for the IMG activity
Noet this: as from ST 400 SP19, use CTRL+F and input "Maintenance Optimizer" to search the IMG activity group, under this group, there is the IMG activity "Configuration".
d) Perform it.
e) If this IMG activity is not available due to a low support package level, see SAP Note 1090202 for manual configuration.
Best Regards,
Olivier

Problem with Stack XML file

Hello,
We have an ECC 6 system with EHP 4 SPS 5 and we watn to install a new Technical Usage (IS-OIL, IS-PRA and IS-UT)
In order to do that I have to supply an xml file created by the MOPZ.
I created a new MOPZ transaction, in the phaze "Update Options" I selected : Enhancement Package Installation,
Afterwards I selected in Target Enhancment package stack : SAP ERP Enhanecment Package 4 on NW7.01 - SP Stack 05
We do not want to upgrade the Stack to a latter one.
I have selected Oil & Gas with Utilities and continued.
The Sack XML that was created contained SAP-APPL, SAP-BASIS and SAP-ABA in patch level 8. we do not want to upgrade these components.
Is there a way to install a new Technical Usage without upgrading these components?
and if there is how can I create XML file suited for this situation?
Please Advice,
Zvi Gilinsky

Hello,
There is an equivalence of Support Package levels between EHP stacks and baseline ERP 6 stacks. Note 1064635 has a list of these equivalences.
In any case, stack 5 for EHP4 of ERP should include stack 5 of NW 701.
By your description it looks like you are having a Maintenance Optimizer issue. What is the Maintenance Optimizer stack level?
