EHP4 sp upgrade using SAINT?

We upgraded our ABAP only ER6.0 server to EHP4 sp3 using the EHPI tool. Now we want to upgrade to EHP4 sp4. I really liked the SAINT tool using the STACK xml file to upgrade our Solution Manager stack. I also liked using the xml file to upgrade j2ee servers. I'm not a big fan of transaction SPAM. . Can we use generate a stack xml file and use transaction SAiNT to go from SP to SP inside an enhancement pack for ABAP systems.? Or do I still have to use SPAM for going from sp to sp inside an enhancement pack?
I can't find any sap docs on this question.

Hi Olivier,
I am not agreeing to your point. If you want to install EHP4 SP3 to EHP4 SP4 then you can use SPAM/JSPM to install the packages.
EHPI tool is used to install base packages.
This is what SAP has suggested.
Thanks

Upgrading EA-PS 600 to 603 By Using SAINT Error in SAINT DDIC_ACTIVATION

Hello Team,
In our Production System We have ECC 6.0 Ehp-4,but for my public sector comp[onent i have EA-PS 600,i need to upgrade it to EA-PS 604, For that i need to upgrade to EA-PS 603 and then EHP-4,First im gng for EA-PS 603 ,by using SAINT Tool im dng this task,but in ddic_activation phase im facing the following problem
The installation was stopped, since an error occurred during the phase
DDIC_ACTIVATION, which the Add-On Installation Tool is unable to resolve
without your input.
After you have corrected the cause of the error, continue with the
import by choosing Continue in the queue display.
The following details help you to analyze the problem:
    -   Error in phase: DDIC_ACTIVATION
    -   Reason for error: TP_STEP_FAILURE
    -   Return code: 0012
    -   Error message: OCS Package SAPK-603DDINEAPS, tp step A, return
        code 0012...
Can any one please help me out to solve this issue,
immediate response appriciated...
Regards,
Syed.

Hi,
why you are upgrading it first to EHP3 and then to EHP4 ?
I will suggest you to directly upgrade it to EHP4, for this you just need to download stack xml file from solution manager and provide that in SAINT transaction so that it will upgrade to component to 604 in one step rather than 603 and then 604.
Thanks

ERP 6.0 EHP4 SR1 Upgrade Unix Oracle issue with /STARTUP

We are in the process of doing an ERP 6.0 EHP4 SR1 Upgrade Unix Oracle Upgrade. We have ran into a problem running the /STARTUP, we are using the Upgrade Master DVD 51036889 as well as have down loaded it from service market place and jce_policy-1_5_0.zip as well as the one on SAP service market place. When we execute the command /STARTUP jce_policy_zip=jce_policy-1_5_0.zip the job starts and runs down to where the controller for port 4241 starts and then hangs. If we control C out and go to the /usr/sap/SID/upg and run /STARTUP it runs all the way through setting up both 4241 controller and 4239 controller, we then go to the web browser and launch the Gui => logon as administrator => upgrade roadmap screen pops up it is set on the initialization phase we hit next and nothing happens after that, we don't get the ABAP tab or the progress bar. We would appreciate any help.

Hi Jerry,
The first time you run STARTUP its run from the NW7 EHP1 SR1 DVD. Just wanted to confirm that your running it from this DVD. This extracts and setups your /usr/sap/<SID>/upg directory. It sounds like this directory hasn't been setup correctly which is why your not seeing anything when you login to the GUI.
Can you confirm that you got your JCE files from SWDC -> SAP Cryptograpic Software ?
OSS Note - 1240081
http://service.sap.com/swdc > Download > SAP Cryptographic Software
I had to use the JCE file from here to get my upgrade to work. What OS are you on?
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] upgrade using Octopi system will not boot into DM

I did a system upgrade using Octopi late last night. I use Enlightenment and Gnome. After the upgrade the desktop froze (E), so I switched to a vt and rebooted. That failed to work, so I forced power off using the power button and went to bed. The next day I started up the laptop (lenovo t430) but the boot never got to gdm login. I stops with the line: "[ OK ] Started Accounts Service". Using htop I see that gdm is running.
Then I opened a vt and tried to do another upgrade (pacman -Syu), but that failed with an error message stating that a libgpgme was too short. I took a look and found that both libgpgme files were empty (0 bytes). I went to my pacman cache and found the packages and use them to copy over the lib files. Pacman then worked. But booting still did not.
All this made me curious, so I checked my /usr/lib dir and found 54 lib files empty. I'm certainly no system expert, but this doesn't seem like a good sign to me. When ldconfig is run a very long list of empty libs is printed to the screen.
At any rate, I'm wonder if anyone else ran into this issue and (of course) if anyone has a solution for this? I really don't want to go through each empty lib and copy the files by hand if I can avoid it.
Any help would be very appreciated.
TIA
Gary

Thank you for the link, not to mention the quick reply.
The packages python-packagekit and packagekit had to be removed before I could start the installation as they had a dependency on a older version of pacman. My mirrors file caused a good deal of packages to not be downloaded, so that had to be changed. Afterwards everything went well. This experience has shown me the strength of the Arch package system, it's really an amazing system.
I tried the recommended command from the above link but kept getting numerous error messages stating that such and such file already existed on the filesystem. Which was true enough, so I added the --force parameter and that did the trick.
This is the command I used to get running again:
pacman -S $(pacman -Qnq) --force
Problem solved. Except I have to wonder how it was caused in the first place. If it was caused by using Octopi, I guess I should run that by the author. And I'll have to either go back to using the command line or try another gui.

In-Place Upgrade using SCCM Fails (W7 to W10)

I'm trying to troubleshoot attempting to perform an in-place upgrade using SCCM (following the blog posted by the SCCM Team).
I started with a fresh build of an HP z620 using our standard corporate Windows 7 64bit Enterprise (SP1) build.
My first attempt just hung after rebooting into WinPE. It was able to complete the "Getting Ready" step but then would go no further. In fact it sat at that boot screen for most of the weekend.
I found a forum post that suggested running SCF/SCANNOW to make sure that all the system files were intact. I did this and attempted it again. This time a Windows 10 "Your PC ran into a problem" flashed briefly and then it rebooted
and rolled back to Windows 7.
Any suggestions on where I should look? I've been testing this task sequence on a Hyper-V VM using the same corporate image and it works fine. My gut keeps telling me it's driver related, but I don't know if I'm just jumping to conclusions.

You should post a comment on the blog about this and ask them where to post

The only officially supported methods are using the ISO or Windows Update.

If you bought your phone from an official source, like a carrier and not in some 'market / ebay', then you can update with no issues.
If you bought it from other than a carrier then you have to take your chances.

Reloading CS5 upgrade using CS2 serial number

Several years ago I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5. I recently had to have my computer reformatted. When I have tried to reload my CS5 upgrade using the CS2 serial number it isn't accepted. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded CS2 but I still can't reload my CS5 disk. From Adobe it seems I need a code to unlock the CS2 activation but I can't seem to get help this way. Now what do I do?

Now what do I do?
No need to -re-install CS2 at all.
Just install the CS5 upgrade (the upgrade contains the full program code), enter your CS5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS2 serial number when prompted.

Unable to perform SP 2010 SP2 to SP 2013 SP1 Upgrade using Mount-SPContentDatabase content db -DatabaseServer dbserver -WebApplication web app

When we run this command Upgrade using Mount-SPContentDatabase STS_Content_TFS -DatabaseServer <> -WebApplication <>, we receive this error:
There is a compatibility range mismatch between the Web server and database "", and connections to the data have been blocked to due to this incompatibility. This can happen when a content database has not been upgraded to be within the compatibility
range of the Web server, or if the database has been upgraded to a higher level than the web server. The Web server and the database must be upgraded to the same version and build level to return to compatibility range.
We have tried services restarts, reboots, re-applying app poll and service accounts and even re-image of vm and nothing seems to work
We have also tried to run PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures and are now getting Cannot open SPTimerV4 service on computer.
Hope someone can help, we are running out of things to try to resolve this.

Hi Kim,
I recommend to check if the server farm account password has expired or was changed, update the server farm account password. Then, try to upgrade the server farm again.
To update the server farm account password, type the following command at an elevated command prompt and then press ENTER:
Stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin domain\username -password password
In addition to that, you can also clear the config cache location for timer service from the below location:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
For the detailed information about how to clear the config cache, check out the following article:

BI7 dual stack upgrade using 'resource minimised' method

Hi
I am upgrading a Windows 2003/MS SQL 2005 sandpit NW04 BI 350 dual stack (ABAPJAVA) to BI7 (NW04S ABAPJAVA) as a test before working on our actual landscape, I have started the ABAP upgrade and chose the 'resource minimised' method as downtime isn't an issue on the sandpit, I then started the upgrade on the Java stack, but then noticed in the documentation it states you should use 'downtime minimised' for a dual stack upgrade? the ABAP prepare recognised I had a dual stack and said it would be synchronised but never complained about the resource minimised choice ? the phases have been waiting for synchronisation so far without a problem.
Is this a problem? I can reset the upgrade, but its quite far through, so would rather not !
Thanks,
Paul.

Hello Paul
As you said, SAP state that you must perform a dual stack upgrade using strategy downtime - minimised. I had a problem when I used resource minimised but if your upgrade is running then donu2019t terminate it. If it works, thatu2019s great.
What I normally do is run strategy downtime minimised with an import time of zero hours.
Thank You
Anwar

Lightroom 5 upgrade, using full install disk - will it properly upgrade version 4?

Just want to make sure that I won't lose settings, catalog, presets, or anything else if I upgrade using the full version DVD (not an upgrade disk). Thanks!

The program on the disk is exactly the same program as the upgrade. It's just licensing differences. If you install from the disk, the first thing you will be prompted to do after the installation is complete will be to update to version 5.3. You would do just as well to download and install the trial version which is presently 5.3, and then just activate it with the serial number in the box.
The first time you run Lightroom 5 it will find your previous catalog and give you the option to upgrade it. You want to choose that option, and then Lightroom will create a new copy of that catalog that will include all of your images, all of the adjustments and all of the presets that you have already created. Your previous version will be left completely intact and usable as it has been in the past.

Using SAINT to apply NW EHP1

Hi,
Is it possible to use SAINT as opposed to SAPEHPI to install EHP1 for Netweaver? This is not a Solution Manager system and my main attempt is to enhance SAP_BW. Currently on:
SAINT level 33.
SAP_ABA 700 0018
SAP_BASIS 700 0018
SAP_BW 700 0020
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
David Carr
Netweaver Administrator

Hi
I reviewed the Installation guide that Sergo provided the link to and there is a statement that indicates SAP "recommends" using SAPehpi for 64bit machines. I am assuming that this is for performance and reduced downtime more then anything else. In other words there is not an increased risk of data corruption using SAINT versus SAPehpi. Can anyone verify my assumption?
Thanks for all the responses.
Kind Regards,
David

EHP1 Update Using SAINT - Reg

Dear Friends,
We are updating Solution Manager from SP16 to SP 23 using SAINT in ABAP. I have added all the requirements and updating getting SAINT. The Provouge and the Check requirements phase is over. After that it takes a very long time (more than 48 hours)in the * DISASSEMBLE* state. I have checked the Slog. it shows "sapmnt\trans\tmp\SAPKITLORB.SM3 is already in use(87410,87420,87430 etc). I am waiting for 3,2,1 sec etc ". This is the only log shows with reduction in seconds.I have restarted the SAP during disassemble state too, but again it continues with the same log. Pls let me know, Whether i could continue or any otther steps to get imported.
The STATUS/REMARKS in SAINT Shows "The Addon will now be imported with the displayed Queue"
With Thanks,
Lakshmikanth T

HI Sunil/Sunny,
Thanks for your immediate response. I hope this solved the problem and my "DISASSEMBLE" starts to continue with other support package files being adding up in the log directory.
With thanks and Regard

HT202664 my iphoto is under an old apple ID, how do I upgrade using my current ID? The current Iphoto is not working after the software upgrade. If I delete the iphoto app will i lose my photo library?

I have a MacBook pro I recently upgraded to OSX. iPhoto is now not working as it was purchased under an old apple ID and I cant find a way to use my current ID to upgrade it. Also if I delete iPhoto to then repurchase it, will I lose my photo library?

1. iPhoto won’t run any differently based on the Apple ID it’s associated with, but can only be updated from that one.
2. No. Back it up anyway.
