J2EE Patch Upgrade Hangs

When executing the J2EE upgrade from PL19 to PL24, the install process hangs at 0% after clicking on 'start' button. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If yes, then how did you solve it?
We're in a standalone J2EE environment not cluster...therefore, the major J2EE architectural changes (between patch levels) don't apply according to the notes.

Just referring to one of the newest SAP Notes regarding J2EE engine upgrade (720148)...It says, "PL 21 Standalone version of SAP J2EE Engine contains no architectural changes and only bugfixes. If one applies SP21 standalone version, the recommendations for cluster version as well as the additional sizingestimations are not necessary. PL 21 Standalone version is pure bugfix release."
As of today, I don't see any notes regarding PL 23. At any rate, we're sort of off the main issue.
I've tried upgrading from PL19 to all other releases above that (PL20 and higher) and I get the same result of the install hanging at 0%...any ideas?
I want to upgrade beyond PL19 because of the EP6 SP2 Patch 4 requirements.

J2EE Patch Upgrade

Are the J2EE Patches cumulative like the hotfixes?

Yes they are, therefore if you are upgrading from J2EE PLxx to PLyy, then you would only need to run the upgrade from the PLyy.

OUI patch install hangs, files being used by another application

Hi when a patch install hangs, and the OUI error message is that files needing to be reinstalled are being used by another application, how can you identify which files or processes are responsible so that they can be shut down? All normal Oracle services and DTC are shut down already.
This is patch 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4 (from 10.2.0.3) which includes the April CPU on a Win32 server.

Please check any oracle service is still on ..
need to shutdown listener/oracle service .. and other db service belongs to Oracle.
You can download windows process explorer and check for any oracle process and kill those and then apply CPU

J2ee patch cumulative?

we are getting ready to install ep6sp3. we notice that the latest support package stack 3 has j2ee patch for j2ee sp3 and j2ee sp4. is j2ee patch cumulative? do we need to apply all j2ee patches in support package stack 3 in order? or, we can just apply the latest one, which is patch 6 for j2ee sp4?
what about portal patch? support package stack 3 has patch 1 for sp3, all the way to patch 6 for sp4. do we need to apply all of them in order, or we only need to apply the latest one?
Thanks, Jane

Hi Jane,
I am sure if I got everything correctly. But here some words on my latest patching experiences:
In theory you do need the latest J2EE patch only. Unfortunately there was an architecture change from J2EE PL19 to PL21. So this is a thing to keep in mind during a patch session.
Portal patches are not cumulative. Thus you need to apply Patch 3 for EP 6.0, SP2 prior to Patch 4. KMC Patch 4 is cumulative - no need to apply Patch 3 first.
The follwoing upgrade sequence was working for me:
J2EE PL 16+ --> PL 19
Portal SP2, Patch 2 --> SP3
J2EE PL 19 --> PL22
Portal SP3 --> SP4
Portal SP4 --> SP4, Hotfix 5
KMC SP2, Patch 2 --> Patch 4
Hope that helps,
rAimund

J2EE Patch

Can anyone tell me whether the J2EE patch includes the previous patches as well or do i need to install in sequence.
thanks for a great forum everyone
Raj

Hi Raj,
[question would have been better within the WAS General Forum]
the patches are cumulative, so they include the previous patches.
Hope it helps
Detlev
PS: If you are upgrading to PL21 or higher for a cluster version, please see note 720148 and it's attachements.

Kernel Patch upgrade results into error

Recently, we upgraded our R/3 640 kernel from patch number 196 to 327. It went successful.
But now, the Sales and order team is having problem in saving the orders(VA02, VA01).
While saving Sales order, error pops up saying "dialog step number missing".
Kindly suggest.

Hi ppl,
The problem has been resolved.
As i said, problem wasnt with the upgrade, but came thereafter, functional team faced issues while switching between the windows.
Problem was with the Gui level, it needed to be upgraded too after the kernel patch upgrade.
Thanks a lot for putting your thoughts.
Thanks

System Core Dumped after Oracle patch upgrade 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

Hi,
We are continously getting dumps on our BW Central instance server after we did an Oracle patch upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.
Following is our system environment
SAP Release.............. "640"
Application server....... "abci"
Operating system......... "SunOS"
Release.................. "5.10"
Hardware type............ "sun4v"
Database server.......... "abdb"
Database type............ "ORACLE"
Database name............ "ABP"
Database owner........... "SAPABP"
SAP kernel............... "640"
Database version......... "OCI_920 "
Patch level.............. "175"
Following below is the Core Dump that is generated for any process chains that we schedule on our BW server
Runtime Errors         SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED
Date and Time          14.04.2008 09:26:17
ShrtText
     Process terminated by signal 11.
What happened?
    The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
    ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
    The current ABAP program "SAPMSSY2" had to be terminated because the ABAP
    processor discovered an invalid system state.
What can you do?
    Make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
    To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
    termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
    date.
Error analysis
    An SAP System process was terminated by an operating system signal.
    Possible reasons for this are:
    1. Internal SAP System error.
    2. Process was terminated externally (by the system administrator).
               Last error logged in SAP kernel
    Component............ "Taskhandler"
    Place................ "SAP-Server awci_ABP_00 on host awci (wp 5)"

    Error text........... "ThSigHandler: signal"
    Description.......... " "
    System call.......... " "
    Module............... "thxxhead.c"
    Line................. 9780
How to correct the error
    The SAP System work directory (e.g. /usr/sap/c11/D00/work ) often
    contains a file called 'core'.
    Save this file under another name.
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
    1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
       To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
       Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    2. A suitable printout of the system log
       To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
       Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
       after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
       "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
       supply the source code.
       To do this, select the Editor function "Further Utilities->
       Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
       or which actions and input led to the error.
Kindly help.
Regards
Sachin

No. If the environment would be wrong the system wouldn´t start up.
Core dumps are in 99 % of the cases program errors (in the SAP kernel or in an interface (libdbora*)), misaligend accesses of data etc.
If you encounter such an error have a look in the C-Stack. If you can´t see where the error is happening opening an OSS call. Most of those errors are fixed by installing the latest patches for the kernel and the database interface.

The upgrade hangs a lot of time in phase PARCONV_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2..

Hello!!:
I'm doing the CU&UC, as say the Guide, and now i'm upgrading my 46C MDMP system to Ecc6.0 nounicode (later i'm going to
do the unicode).
In the phases RUN_RADCUCNT_ALL, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2,....has been a lot of time.
In the Note OSS 558197 - upgrade hangs in PARCONV_UPG, XPRAS_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2, there is a solution
for a Oracle Database, but we have MSSQL2005 in a Windows Server.
In this moment in our DB we have applied as say the Note OSS 187493 - DB13 jobs 'Check table Consistency'
and 'Update statistics', and sometimes in the biggest tables we apply the Note OSS 771352 - Manual UPDATE STATISTICS
re-enables Disabled Automatic Stats
Can you help us? In this moment the upgrade downtime is 48 hours (and we haven't yet done some phases of the
upgrade)
Thanks an regards,
Alfredo.

Alfredo,
Here is the down and skinny on this - PARCONV_UPG can be addressed with ICNV (Incremental Table Conversion) which you can run during the 'Up' Time of the upgrade. Of course there are some limitations put on you when using this solution but it will help to reduce your down-time windows be pre-converting tables during up-time. Those tables that are not converted in ICNV will have to be converted during down-time during the PARCONV_UPG phase so I am pretty sure that your database is getting its (stuff here....) handed to it.
As a 'suggestion' and not a rule here (because it effects recovery of SQL Databases) you can look at using Bulk Logged or Simple Logged modes if your system is using Full-Logged mode to speed things up a bit (actually quite a bit if Full-Logged is enabled).
As for the SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2 - this is mostly going to be tp putting things in the system and some compiling - the speed of the Db and the processors play a big impact in this. You can watch the SLOG in the upgrade directory to check this out (look in your upgrade guide for Log Files during this phase to get their names and locations) to see if anything is hanging but I would probably expect not much is going on.
Overall you need to identify the bottleneck first - CPU, Memory, Db I/O, a number of things can contribute to your issues of slow upgrade time - as I would have to agree with SAP that there is nothing wrong with the Upgrade Process (except that you can take advantage of things like ICNV where possible - read the upgrade guide and hit the notes and help first!!). Everything else is going to be your setup and how it reacts to the different activities in the upgrade.
So check those out first - let us all know what you come up with and hopefully we can fix your problem directly and quickly.

10.2.0.2 Patch Upgrade issue

hi,
SAP was installed on 10.2.0.1 (SuSe Linux Ent 10 ) . now i am applying patch upgrade to 10.2.0.2. when i am doing patch the below problem was occured,
"Unable to create new central inventory at location /oracle/orainventory. A non empty inventory already exists at this location. Please select another location or clean the inventory at /oracle/orainventory."
please help me on this issue
Regards
Ramesh

Hai,
Please check the oraInst.loc file has the correct entry or not.
File oraInst.loc should have the entries similar to the below:
inventory_loc=/oracle/SID/oraInventory
inst_group=dba
Check the permissions of this file as well, atleast the file should have read access to others.
Also check the permissions of /oracle/SID/oraInventory, it should be owned by ora<sid> user and group dba.

How to do patch upgradation in citrix server ?

Dear all,
How to do patch upgradation in citrix server (SAP B1 2005B PL41 to PL49) ?
Whether i also need to do same in db server ?
Jeyakanthan

Hi Jayakanthan,
Patch Upgrade is done on SAP Server only.After Completion of Patch 49 upgrade in SAP Server
then open SAP B1 in server machine it start to upgrade DB after completed DB Upgrade
In Citrix Server open the SAP B1 it start the upgrade process after completed
restart the citrix server.
There is no separate Patch instalation in citrix server.
in Citrix server SAP client only installed so you can just open the
SAP B1 in citrix server and other client machine also it automatically start to
upgrade.
*Close the thread if issue solved.

I was looking into patching/upgrading from 10.2.0.3 to a 10.2.0.5 verison.
Are the two zip files for 10.2.0.5 from http://www.oracle.com/technology/ "Patch Installers"
The same as Patches from Metalink ?
Please explain the difference.
Thanks..

Hello,
I found out they would be the same. I was looking for more of a general answer not specfic to a product like what is "Patch Installers"
The two zip files I want are for 10.2.0.5 from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/index.html "Patch Installers"
are the same as Patch 3731593 from Metalink.
I thought the patch would only be from Metalink.
Thanks..

Best Practice: SAPGUI Version and Patch Upgrades

Hello -
Does anyone have some thoughts/information on best practices relating to SAPGUI version and patch upgrades.
Obviously, sometimes upgrades are forced upon us (e.g. 7.10 for Vista) and in other cases it may just be considered "nice to have".
Either way - it always signifies regression test and deployment effort. How do we balance the benefit and cost?
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,
you're right for the first part, yes, we (usually) patch twice a year.
Now for the rest
An uninstall will only happen on release changes (6.20->6.40->7.10), i. e. about every 4-5 years as SAP releases them.
Patches are applied to the installation server and the setup on the client will only update changed program parts. For example, upgrading 6.40->7.10 took about 10 minutes (incl. uninstall), applying patch 1 less than 5 minutes.
I recommend, you read the "SAP Frontend Installation Guide - 7.10" which you find at SMP alias sapgui. Navigate to Media Library - Literature. It explains setup of the installation server (sounds like a big thing, but ain't much more than creating a share), creating packages, applying updates etc.

Points always appreciated

Backup error after kernel patch upgrade

Hi.
I have a backup problem after the kernel patch upgrade. I have SAP R3 4.6C on HPUX11.0 with an Oracle 8.17 database.
I have upgraded kernel patch from 1655 to 2337.
Afterward, I am getting following backup error:
BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-06 09.29.01
BR279E Return code from '/usr/sap/HAD/SYS/exe/run/backint -u HAD -f backup -i /oracle/HAD/sapbackup/.bdwnpztp.lst -t file_online -c': 2
BR232E 0 of 115 files saved by backup utility
BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-06 09.29.01
BR231E Backup utility call failed
Does anyone know how to correct this?
Thank you.

Hi Jun,
backint is a link file that is in SAP kernel directory which links to the backup client on the server.
eg:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 32 Aug 13 2004 backint -> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint
As part of kernel upgrade process, the kernel is backed up, mostly on the disk before upgrading. Check if this link exists and recreate it in the kernel directory, if no backup was done, compare it with other systems to get the details of the backint link.
Cheers,
Nisch
