How to reset PREPARE

Hi all,
Please ignore the post i have sent earlier...
We had a major change in the things we thought. We are upgrading our BW 3.5 system to BI 7.0 (Linux RHEL 4, oracle 10.2) ,we also planned to go for unicode conversion, but after successfully running PREPARE and after few phases of SAPup ,our ppl have decided not to go for unicode conversion. Please...
can any one tell us wat will happen if we reset PREPARE?, is it sufficient if we reset PREPARE and the go with SAPup for non unicode system.What will happen to the upgrade folder? . Please tell us what are the precautions that we need to take.
All this happened because of improper planning of Upgrade.
Please give your feedbacks,
Thanks all,
Regards,
Doug

First -if you want to use BI 7.0 and the new features like BEx Web in the portal (and use BI-Java) you HAVE TO convert to Unicode. BI-Java not connected to a unicode backend is not supported - see 975768 - Deprecation of Java features with non-Unicode Backend
The upgrade documentation has a separate section for resetting PREPARE - check the manual (basically running RSUPGRES and some other things).

    and also,
    (3) be sure you are connected to the internet, so that u can help the speed up the "verifying" process..

  • Reset prepare

    Hi,
    I need to reset the ehp4 installation in the phase preprocessing. I´ve deleted the service of shadow system.
    But when I tried to execute > SAPehpi.exe reset prepare  I get the next message error:
    FATAL ERROR: Main execution already started, no reset possible
    What can i do?
    More thanks

    In the guide "Installation Guide SAP Enhancement Package Installation Using SAP Enhancement Package Installer (SAPehpi)" it says:
    During the Preprocessing Roadmap Step
    To reset the installation, choose EHP Installation Reset Installation from the GUI menu bar.
    When you reset the installation, error messages are displayed stating that SDT requests could not be executed. You can ignore these messages.
    To start the installation program again, delete the EHPI directory, unpack the installation package again and start from the beginning as described in Starting the Installation Program
    In document "How to Install SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0" it states:
    Until you reach the Roadmap Step Preprocessing, no changes are made to your SAP ERP 6.0 system. While in one of the Preparation Roadmap Steps, you can still reset the installation at any time.
    The Preparation Step consists of Initialization, Extraction, Configuration, Checks and Preprocessing phases.
    So I guess you can simply try resetting from EHP Gui and then remove the EHPI directory and restart again. That's what I understand from the doc.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Naveed

    I reset my password for internet site but i must have a different pw on my Mac, it will not let me do updates without it*  The PW hint in the sign in screen is not working.  How do I find out what my PW is on my Mac or at least how to reset it?
    thanks,

    Sounds like you want your administrative password on the Mac so can install? For starters, you'll want to ask in a Mac forum. I know you used to be able to reset it using the install disk but haven't tried that for years.
