EHP4 Installation: MAIN_SHDIMP/SHADOW_IMPORT_INC

Hello all.
We are installing EHP4 on a SAP ERP 6.0 using EHPI and got the following error on the MAIN_SHDIMP/SHADOW_IMPORT_INC phase:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SHADOW IMPORT ERRORS and RETURN CODE in SAPKE60416.ERP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2EETW165 Function "HR_PL_D_DE_HRPAYDE_ST (31DE|76)" does not fit into the existing function group "(3101|58)".
In other threads I have read that we have to check if this package is in the same request order as another version of the same package. If so, we can choose in SPAM: Extras -> Ignore test import errors
Our Shadow instance is now stopped by the installation (grey, with a forbidden sign on it).
Should we start Shadow instance for doing this checkings on it?
Thank you ver much !
Emilio Leite

I know it's a bit late but i had the same problem and i got the following response from SAP
- Goto SE37, rename HR_PL_D_DE_HRPAYDE_ST to HR_PL_D_DE_HRPAYDE_ST_OLD
- Release the request created in this process
- Import the SPAM queue
- Check if HR_PL_D_DE_HRPAYDE_ST exists again and if so then delete the
HR_PL_D_DE_HRPAYDE_ST_OLD
Similarly proceed for other errors.
I hope this will help someone.
Greetings

Errors in phase MAIN_SHDIMP/SHADOW_IMPORT_INC for upgrade ERP 6.0 EHP4

Hello,
I am executing the upgrade to ERP 6.0 EHP4-Stack4 and in the phase MAIN_SHDIMP/SHADOW_IMPORT_INC, i have the follow error:
"SHADOW IMPORT ERRORS and RETURN CODE in SAPK-40001INCPRXRPM.FSD
2EETW165 Function "/RPM/RELATION_MODIFY (/RPM/CONFIG|15)" does not fit into the existing function group "(/RPM/RELATION_DATA|02)".
Long text:
 Cause
 A function module with LIMU FUNC ... was transported in the transport
 request.
 An import is only possible if this function module belongs to the same
 function group in the target system and
 has the same internal number as in the source system.
 These conditions were not observed in the target system.
 This problem can occur,
 if an entry LIMU FUNC ... is included in a transport request manually
 in the object list editor,
 or if a function module is deleted, and then created again under the
 same name in another function group, and deletion and creation are
 recorded in the same change request.
 System Response
 The function module was not imported.
 What to do
 You can remove the error by making another transport from the source
 system. Transport the affected function groups once more in their
 entirety. To do this, use the transport object R3TR FUGR ... .
 You can avoid the second type of error (deletion and creation in
 another function group) as follows:
 In the ABAP Workbench use the function <LS>Reassign</>, or record the
 deletion and the new creation in separate change requests.
 Release the change request with the deletion before you release the
 change request with the new creation.
1 ETP111 exit code : "8"
I don't found the function module or function group in the system, this system is the development instance.

Hi,
I have checked the link before to open my question, but I can't or don't follow the instructions:
1. Ensure Namespace /RPM is modifiable in SE06
2. Call transaction SE37
3.Enter /RPM/RELATION_MODIFY
4.Select Function module-> Other functions-> Rename
5.Rename it to /RPM/RELATION_MODIFY_OLD
6.Release the request if one was created in the process
7.Restart the phase
The Function Module and the Function Group does not exist in our system. And when I can to create the Function Gorup, I have the follow error in the SE80: "Namespace /RMP/ does not exist", and when I try to create the namespace /RPM/ I don't have the "repair license".
I'm using the EHPI Upgrade tools for the EHP4.

EHP4 installation on top of ecc 6.0

Hi,
I have planned to install ecc 6.0 sr3 windows 2008 server oracle and put ehp4 on top of it.Pls guide me how to do that.
I have read the doc where they have told to provide space for the seperate shadow instance of 100 gb.I have planned to keep to keep 400 gb of hard disk for the ecc 6.0 installation.So do i need to provide extra space(new partition) for the shadow instance?and also i have read that finally this shadow instance will be converted to real instance.So my original space would go after converting in to ehp4?
also tell me what post installation to be done after ecc 6.0 installation.Say i do all the post installation for ecc 6.0 including client creation and clinet copy with update of stack to 14.After this do i need to do ehp4?
pls guide me in this as i need to it urjently.

You have two possibilities:
- read the installation guides (http://service.sap.com/instguides) and try yourself
- get a basis consultant on your side to help you
> I have read the doc where they have told to provide space for the seperate shadow instance of 100 gb.I have planned to keep to keep 400 gb of hard disk for the ecc 6.0 installation.So do i need to provide extra space(new partition) for the shadow instance?and also i have read that finally this shadow instance will be converted to real instance.So my original space would go after converting in to ehp4?
A shadow instance will be built with parts of the tables of the source instance, the new coding from the EHP4 packages is imported and is then merged with your original instance. And yes, those 100 GB are free after that again.
> also tell me what post installation to be done after ecc 6.0 installation.Say i do all the post installation for ecc 6.0 including client creation and clinet copy with update of stack to 14.After this do i need to do ehp4?
Yes.
> pls guide me in this as i need to it urjently.
To start the installation you need an installed and configured Solution Manager system. You need that to generate the installation keys and to generate a valid XML file for the EHP4 installation.
And: This is here is a public forum, it's not meant to "teach" you. If you want some real guidance I suggest you attend some SAP classes if you have never done an installation before, especially if Oracle is involved.

Hi,
In the end I ran out of patience and decided to ignore the error to get it through to the end. Later, SAP responded as follows:
"The issue depends on a deleted function and a new function with the samename within one application. With note 1263261 the problem should be
solved. Maybe you also have to install note 1301695 after it."
I hope this helps,

How to include Add-On in EHP4 Installation

This is a fresh install on Unix and Oracle.
We have already installed ERP 6.0 EHP4 Ready and now preparing for EHP4 Install using EHP Installer. We have two Add-Ons CPRXRPM 400 and ECC-SE 604 that we want to include in EHP4 installation. We have already copied the .SAR files for both Add-Ons into Download Directory.
I am not able to figure out how to make Installer pick up these Add-Ons. In BIND_PATCH step and (also in screen where it displays calculated queues) I see all the patches that we downloaded from Solution Manager are listed but do not see my Add-ons. At what stage will these be included or do I need to do something to add them manually.?
Zak

Hi,
When you will download the patches from solution manager there you need to select Technical Usage corresponding to these packages then information about these technical usage will be present in stack xml file. So, ehpi installer will read about these packages from stack xml file and include them in upgrade.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi,

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...

EHP4 installation error

Hi everybody.
We are running an EHP4 installation in ECC 6.0 using EHPI installer.
At pre-proccesing phase, when installation is activating abap objects we receive an error because it is not possible to connect sap gateway of service sapgw11 (11 is the number of the shadow instance)
We are looking for procceses and there is no one running for shadow intance.
On this way, we are sure that shadows instance must be started, but we are not able to start it.
When we try to do it, we receive this error:

We can't start shadow instance so installation is stopped.
If anybody knows how to start it, will be great.
Thanks a lot in advance to everybody.
Best regards.

Hi Daniela,
In order to start the shadow instance, please follow below steps
1) Shutdown the CI .
2) The used cleanipc command to clear all semaphores for both shadow instance and CI.
3) Start your CI.
4) go to your upgrade directory (<path-EHPI/abap/bin>).Use below command to start shadow instance
startsap_shd -t R3 -i <Shados instance name> -r <root directory for upgrade> -u <Shadow instance owner>
Please also check in logs if some file (e.g .sapstream file) is in used for in /tmp directory for shadow instance. If it is in use the rename it. and start.
If still phase problem then please let me know.
Thanks
Sunny

EHp4 installation - IS_SELECT phase error (MRSS_NW)

Hello everybody,
MRSS-NW (600) add-on shows status "undecided" in the phase IN_SELECT of EHP4 installation.
Is there any way I can skip/correct this phase? I tried to upgrade the add-on but I cannot find the installer in the SAP Portal swdc.
Any ideas? Thanks!

DB2 Post installation after EHP4 Installation

Hi,
I have completed ehp4 installation in db2 9.1 fp7 database windows 2008 server.What are the post installation activities i should do?
I have read in the doc where they have given so many post installations.ie post activities before resuming production etc etc..
But i felt like deleting the old table spaces is important for which they have given the syntax(db2 clp command) also.but if i run that "0 rows selected".pls tell me what is the correct syntax for deleeting old table spaces.
and also pls let me know what other i need to do after ehp4 installation from your experience.
Thanks

Hi Sunny,
Thanks for your reply.
Bur the link you have given,is the common for db2 to delete the table spaces.But I need for the post installation for ehp4 in db2.
for deleting the table spaces,I need to know which are the old table spaces after upgrade for which there is a syntax given in the master guide.below are given in the master guide.
Deleting Substitution Tablespaces
After the enhancement package installation, some tablespaces are no longer used and you can delete them.
To determine the names of these empty substitution tablespaces of the source release enter the following db2 clp command:
db2 "select tbspace from syscat.tablespaces TS where TS.tbspace like '%E%<rel>%' and not exists ( select 1 from syscat.tables where tbspace = TS.tbspace or index_tbspace = TS.tbspace or long_tbspace = TS.tbspace )"
To delete all obsolete tablespaces that are returned by the above mentioned db2 clp command, enter the following db2 clp command at the operating system level for each tablespace listed:
but if i execute no rows selected.
so pls guide me how to do.

SGEN after EHP4 Installation on New system

We have completed the ehp4 installation on a ehp4 ready system. After the installation we need to run SGEN as per the guide, however which option we should choose in SGEN
generate all objects or generation after an system upgrade ? we had run the generation after an system upgrade and it completed very soon.
Please advice , should we run generate all objects for selected components ? Also we have not used SGEN after the ehp4 ready installation.
Regards

Hi,
As of now you installed ERP 6.0 only you need to upgrade again to EHP4. SGEN you can run with first option.
Please disable archivelog...otherwise your disk will full.
Thanks and Regards,

Guidelines on optimization of runtime of EHP4 installation phases

Hi
Our system is SAP ECC 6.0 SP10 without any EHP on HP-UX and Oracle.
Currently we are running EHP4 installation on our sandbox on top of EHP3. We are in preprocessing phase. I observe that a phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG is going on more then 5 hours upto the composing of this message. I can observe activity into the system (SM50).
I was trying to get some information and documentation on optimization of runtime of phases of the EHP4 installation. I tried Installation Guide, and notes attached to the document like SAP Note 1292069 - Add. Info. on upgrading to SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 SR1 ABAP, but this seems to be not big help for me(or might be I oversee something provided by SAP)
Here my question is, can we have some anchor document or note for optimization of system settings and parameters which will help us to optimize the runtime of different phases of installation. If not for all then at least please suggest for this phase and other for which it is available.
Approx DB Size: 2.8 TB
Best regards
Jaswant

MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG -- This phase is very long phase, It always takes very long time. Since your database size is 2.8 TB so it will take long time. Only thing you need to take care is no error will be there.

Also as far as optimization of upgrade is concerned it depends on a number of things:
1) How many R3trans processes you have choosen for upgrade ? If more is the number of processes then upgrade will de faster. R3trans processes you can decide on basis of your hardware.
2) You can also optimize memory parameters like in shdow instance Go to SE38 and run rsmemory report -> there you can increase memory parameters to optimize upgrade.
3) You can also change database parameters like db_cache_size etc. to increase performemnce.
4) you can also check SAP Note 1275873 - Memory bottleneck during DDIC activation during EHP import
5) To optimize performence, SAP always recommends to select Manual Selection of parameters in configuration phase in which you can set parameters according to your hardware.
6) You can also find information to improve performence of upgrade in Troubleshooting and Administration Guide. This guide you can find in <upgrade directory>/EHPI/abap/htdoc
Hope it helps
Thanks

SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 installation with ABAP+JAVA stack

Hi,
I need to install SAP ECC6.0 EHP4 with ABAP+JAVA stack on windiws server 2008 with oracle.
I have read that for this, we need to install ECC 6.0 EHP4 ready and then upgrade to EHP4 using ehpi installer.
I have found the documents seperately for ABAP and JAVA stack and not for ABAP+JAVA.
I need clarifications on these.
1.Do we need to install ABAP and JAVA instances seperately with EHP4 and then upgrade(In that case I have to install both instances on single host)?
2.Should we give seperate <SID> for both instances and create seperate databases?
3.Hard disk requirement for this set up.(We have 150 GB including C drive)
4.Steps to perform after installing ECC6.0 EHP4 ready
5.Please send me the doc. if anyone has
Anyhelp would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Surya

> 1.In the installation document for EHP4 ready for SAP ERP 6.0 ABAP.It is mentioned that this installation contains only basic EHP4 for ERP 6.0 and we need to install additional EHP4 functionality in the SAP ERP 6.0 -EHP4 ready system.
> It states that atleast Support pacakge stack (SPS) 1 of SHP4 needs to be installed.So If I install this stack using EHPi installer in the post installation activities my SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 will be in place?Please confirm.
Yes..

> 2.Can I install SAP SR3 with dual stack and upgaradte it directly to EHP4 at a time?
Yes you can do it.....as SAP still supports dual stack ERP systems to EHP4

> Any solutions or suggestions from others also welcome.
