EHPI failed in DEPLOY_ONLINE_DEPL

Question

I am upgrading my PI system from NW700 SPS14 to NW7.01 SPS3 with EHPI.
In the DEPLOY_ONLINE_DEPL it fails because SDM server is being shutdown
while the JSPM is trying to update the SDM repository. My full problem
analysis is below.
Thank you.

This should end with return code =104-no server running.

Also tested the password by logging into SDM Guiu2026
sdm.bat remotegui (need to start the SDM server for this)
u2026no luck
Tried increasing java heap memory used by SDM from 256M to 512M as per OSS Note 1264514 and OSS Note 879377.

When I look at jcontrol in SAPMMC I can seeu2026that the status of the jcontrol was "Some processes running [Safe Mode]
Follow Note 1267123 - System remains in SAFE mode after update.pdf u2026
Start CMD
cd D:\usr\sap\DPI\DVEBMGS01\j2ee\configtool

The J2EE Engine Config Tool starts.
Menu File -> Safe Mode
Choose Safe Mode Enabled = NO then OK
Exit
Apply changes? = Yes

OK
Restart SAP System 01 ONLY in SAPMMC then totally get out of SAPMMC before proceeding.

OK the SDM server is failing to start so Iu2019ll look into thatu2026
Try to start manually in standalone modeu2026as per commands above.
u2026no luck
Follow the EHPI_Java Troubleshooting Guide.
Only suggestion is to stop the EHPI Java processes after setting the SDM server to normal mode.

OK definitely looks like we need to get that SDM server running!
Look at the SDM logsu2026
Maybe itu2019s just because the SDM is set to standalone? I set it to integrated!
Restart SAP System 01 ONLY in SAPMMC then totally get out of SAPMMC before proceeding.
u2026no luck
Iu2019m going back to the VM Clone to double check the SDM and SAP* and j2ee_admin passwords.
u2026no lucku2026because we are not rolling back the database when we do this.
Found new erroru2026some error about localhost so added changes to host file.
u2026no luck
OK now we up the logging on the SDM Server and find out why it is not runningu2026
Canu2019t find why? I am sure that in fact the EHPI is shutting it down.
Updated the kernel as per OSS Note 1274006 and 1122058 and per Kreasanu2019s suggestion.
Shutdown all SAP processes, unpacked kernel into SYS directory, restarted SAP, restarted EHPI (not from the start though).

Answer 1

Thank you Sunny and Supriya,
In fact because the UME has been set to ABAP, and the j2ee_admin is on the ABAP, it is not used because the ABAP has been moved to the shadow and is locked for upgrade.
What SAPjup does then is create a SAP* on the java and changes the secure store to use the SAP* user. I have double checked the secure store and I am able to log into the NWA as the SAP*(java) user (although the screen is blank like there is no user context).
The log file also shows that the SAP* user is being used.
The problem seams to be more that the SDM server is not running, and in fact it's not. Even if I change it to mode=integrated and start it, the upgrade stops teh server then changes it back to mode=standalone for some reason? The sdmlog###.log shos this but there are no errors.
Kind regards,
Dave
