Error in Prepare Upgrade from 46C to ERP 2005 - R3trans too old

Question

I have seen a few threads on this issue, but I am still slightly puzzled.
The error message in Prepare ( initialisation - 02 ) is that the R3trans is too old, it needs to be at least 07/05/2007.
The version of R3trans in the put directory is a 46D one ( 6.05 ) and the date is previous to that mentioned, however the most recent version of the 46D that I can download is the 22/04/2007 and you will get the same error.
Ther error seems odd in that it would normally complain about the version rather than a date and it is happy about tp etc.
I could download a more recent version of R3trans, but that would be a 6.40 or 7.0 !
I have the FIX_ERP2005SR2.UPG in /usr/sap/put.
Has anybody tripped over this issue ? Cheers

Answer 1

The 46D R3trans was a bit of a red herring, however I do have a problem.
The 7.00 kernel goes into \usr\sap\put\exe etc and it is a 7.00 R3trans ( 6.14 ). When the initialisation phase is run ( 2 ), it complains that the R3trans is too old and it quotes 07/05/2007.
If I download the newest version of R3trans it fails with a connect problem. For some reason it goes off to /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run to reference the  dboraslib.dll, while the earlier version of the 7.0 R3trans references it within /usr/sap/put.
It could be something like Oracle Client environmental settings !
Anybody had this issue ?
