PDK 6.0 SP3 deployment failed on com.sap.pct.pdk.pct.epa

Question

Hello,
I am trying to deploy Portal Development Kit 6.0 SP3 on WAS 6.40 (J2EE
6.30) with EP 6.0 SP3 and it is failing on the last package with the
error below. It is HP-Unix 11i system and the same PDK file
(20040506.sca) was used with no issues on Windows based WAS and EP same
releases.
Please, advise.

Answer 1

Apparently, there is a bug in the .sca file that prevents it from deployment on UNIX servers.
SAP is working on the patch, but meantime we can use the following workaround:
unzip the .sca file
unzip the com.sap.pct.pdk.pct.epa.epa from the .sca
Copy all .ept files contained into the WebAS folder <(>
<<)>WASROOT>/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/deployment/pcdcontent
restart the server.
Regards,
Vladimir
