SAP CLM Eresource patch upgrade

Hello SAP Gurus
I am a basis administrator new to SAP CLM. Can any one give me a brief idea on how to upgarde SAP CLM Ereource patch from 5.1.8 SPS3 to 5.1.8 SPS4?
Thanks
Varun

Hi Varun,
You can upgrade your system by uninstalling the existing version, then check the NW(If deployed onto SAPNW) version and then again deploy the latest version which you want to deploy. After that you need to upgrade the DB schema.
Hope this helps

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)"
    Version.............. 1
    Error code........... 11
    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.

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.

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.
Peter
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

Delta links on applying patches/upgrade.

Hi,
I have a basic question. What happens on applying patch/upgrade to the delta linked copies, when the source objects have been updated/upgraded with new SAP changes.
Will the delta linked object properties get over written by new upgraded (or SAP patches) source objects.
I have made delta links of the SAP delivered WPC IView container objects and using them in the custom pages. Lets say on applying a patch or upgrade, the orginal source objects are changed. Will those changes undo my changes on target delta linked objects.

Hi,
Copying to your namespace is possible but by that you loose all the advantages in the delta-link.
What exactly are you copying Roles, iView, Pages everything?
Adding additional delta link layer between the roles and SAP content is a wise step but copying everything will only dupplicate content and will not allow you upgrade safty with SAP features.

Adjustment Modifications after Patch upgrade?

Hello,
Is it possible that the Modifications Adjustments (done in SPAU and SPDD and occured due to SAP_BASIS and SAP_ABA patches) be carried out after the patches upgrade?
To be more clear, instead of Adjusting the Modifications while patch upgrade is in progress can i configure the patch upgrade in SPAM transaction someway that the Modification Adjustments is directly shown to the user upon their login after my patch upgrade?
Regards,
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
Yes you just need to transport the request to next system.
Than you don't need to redo the adjustment.
But some time due to incosystency between the system, you still get some object not adjusted after you apply the request, and for this you need to transport the object from your development or direct adjust.
After 12 days than when you change the object, SAP will ask you for the object key, and you need to request the key in SAP MarketPlace before you can change the object.

SAP SRM Contracts Vs SAP CLM Contract

Hi SAP Gurus,
Can you guys please tell me the difference between SAP SRM Contracts and SAP CLM Contracts.
In which factors SAP CLM serves better than SAP SRM??
Why SAP CLM came into existence when we have SRM Contracts? What are the draw back and what is not achieved with SRM Contracts?
Thanks in Advance

Hello Sanjay
There are many differences, SAP CLM Contract run in Sourcing and SAP SRM Contracts run in SRM.
Advantages CLM Contracts:
- Establish a contract as a result of a project
- build the draft agreement from a template
-   - Create your own folder structure to organize your contract attachments
    - Transfer quickly attachments between the different folders
-   - Download easily multiple attachments with a single click
- Administrator can create new customer fields (extensions) and customer tables (extension collections) for all      master agreements or specific master agreements
     - New customer fields are immediately available in the UI and as a search parameters
      - All is done via configuration, therefore no upgrade issues
     - Generation of contract document out of master agreement
     - Template Library with approved legal contract templates for quick contract generation
     - Possibility to provide end user with flexibility to modify the provided content from the template during contract creation
      - Adjust contract by adding or removing of clauses and sections to the content provided by the selected contract template
      - Multiple content options (alternative clause content) available to provide end user with controlled flexibility
      - Automated transfer of master agreement meta data into generated contact document
      - Creation and transfer of line item table into contract document
-     - Creation of a unique barcode on the contract header
      - Contract negotiation with clause changes in MS Word are tracked in the contract repository
      - Change of meta data like Agreement Effective Date in MS Word possible and transfer back to master agreement in repository
      - etc
The are the possibility to integrate CLM contract to SRM Contracts

We checked and found that we do not have character set as per SAP Recommendation but everything was working fine before upgrading the patch.As per SAP in new Patch MDM is lokking for Unicode Character set
SAP is asking to create new DB Instance for MDM.
If we create new instance for MDM then how we are going to use our existing repository.Our environment is clustered environment and name of MDM DB instance is also mentioned in cluster.We have to use same Instance name.We are also using oracle failsafe
Creating new instance seems to be risky for Production environment.Currently we are applying the Patch in Sandbox Environment

Hi,
The logs from ST22 as as follows:
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
caught in
procedure "HRXSS_PER_CLEANUP" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component.
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
Other ESS applications are working fine.Issue is in Family application.Server is also restarted after patch upgradation.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Surendra
