SAP JVM patching with SUM

Hi All,
I am unable to patch JVM, below is the error, Please guide me
Thanks,
Dheeraj

Thanks Reagan,
So I can deploy SAP JVM patch and its a .SAR file.
I have created a directory and uploaded the file in place.
Now I tried starting the SUM Tool and below is the error.
"The file /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SUM/sdt/.lock could not be locked. Check the write permissions and whether the controller is already started."
Regards,

  • Deployment of JAVA-Patches with SUM failed, MOPZ has downloaded malicious code

    some time ago, we did an upgrade of our doublestack PI-System from NW-PI-700-SPS18 to NW-PI-731-SPS05.
    Now, i wanted to upgrade this PI-system from NW-PI-731-SPS05 to NW-PI-731-SPS07.
    with SUM 1.0 SP10 PL4 we are now failing in the Execution-phase (Downtime):
    Error in phase 5.6. execution (downtime) of the JAVA-Part

    and the instance could not start up anymore !?
    in sap-note 1316652 there is mentioned a separate sap-note 1550641 for this error
    http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1316652
    in sap-note 1550641 - Update fails-Node 'deployment' failed with exit code 67.           
    http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1550641
    Solution:
    A fix cannot be deployed as a patch, because the deployer itself is broken.
    The solution is to reset a back up state of the system, to download the new version of the stack from SAP Marketplace, and to rerun the update/upgrade procedure.
    i downloaded the patch-stack (with Solman MOPZ) some days ago,
    so MOPZ did download the malicious code of deployment components..... ?!
    so what to do?

    Hi,
    sorry for my late reply,
    but the whole story needs a lot of time (nearly 2 month) and finally ends successfully.
    first: (summary) the main-title of this thread is wrong,
    it was not MOPZ or Solman download, what caused this issue.
    the problem was caused by a remaining (old) sapxmltoolkit.jar in the java-bootstrap folder
    details are coming ...

    ==================================
    remarks:
    formerly, we did a copy of that mentioned sapxmltoolkit.jar to the java-bootstrap folder (in March 2013) because of investigation PI-processes
    after upgrading from NW-7.00 to NW-7.31, to get PI-system running after upgrade to NW-7.31
    but maybe that formerly issues were caused by other things, cache or so ...
    and since then (March 2013) we could start/stop that PI-system several times without any problem, only SUM-upgrade could not ......
    i really understand that investigating problems in SAP-software (e.g. SUM-process, java-startup ...) is not easy and could have many causes.
    but in summary this SUM-downtime was really large (55 days of downtime) , because of sandbox-system we want to investigate this time,
    to get the solution to this issue.
    if some SAP people want to look for speed-up options in the whole support-process, the OSS_ticket-no is:  ( 459757 / 2014 )
    Thanks to SAP-support (for the helpful solution)

  • SAP JVM update to latest version in NW 7.31 Java only stack

    Hi ALL,
    Can I know what is the procedure involved updating JVM? As there is no JSPM in 7.31 what are the options to update?
    I tried by extracting SAR file and changing version in parameter file but it wasn't successful. After changing to latest version Java stack has not started.
    Are there any dependencies in updating JVM?
    We have a portal system with different version of JVM, Does this has anything to do?
    I would like to update from SAP JVM 6.1_35  to JVM 6.1_63.

  • NWDS NW 7.0 EHP2 with SAP JVM 4.1 == server0 crash exit code 666

    I recently installed developer workplace on windows 2003 server SP2, database MS SQL 2005.
    NWDS NW 7.0 EHP2. The installation has been done with SUN JAVA kit. The installed SAP AS JAVA was running OK.
    Several SAP notes indicate that from NW 7.0 customers should switch to SAP JVM. I have switches from SUN to SAP JVM using the switch tool. From that moment on, me server0 keeps on restarting (19 restart) before it finally stops with exit code 666. The log shows out-of-memory. I have checked note 1522200 and 1603093 (and some others)
    Who can help? Has someone this version running in win 2003? I would like to compare the JVM parameters in that case.

    We found a solution. We installed SP02 of NW 7.0 EHP2 from DVD. After upgrading to SP08 with JSPM the problems were gone. Parameter settings in the switch tool (according to the mentioned sap notes) are correct.

    Thanks,

    very true Reagan.
    Kavitha, you just need to make sure that the instance profile has the right details.
        SAPJVM_VERSION. Enter the new version of the SAP JVM e.g.:
        SAPJVM_VERSION = 4.1.028
        and
        jstartup/vm/home = <location of the new jdk>
        for example:
        jstartup/vm/home = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/
                           sapjvm_6.1.028
      After the change, delete following files (they will be recreated after the j2ee restart):
    /usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/instance.properties.vmprop
    /usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/SDM/program/config/sdm_jstartup.properties.vmprop
    Now do a complete cluster restart.

    Hi Ajay,
    Hope you are doing good.
    If the issue persists, kindly update the kernel to the latest level as this will update the native libraries which the JVM needs. This is the next step in these kind of cases.

  • Send/Receive IDOCs (XML) from/to SAP R/3 with XI-SOAP without XI!

    Dear SAP specialists,
    (BACKGROUND) We are using the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for SAP 1.0, developed on top of the SAP DCOM Connector (we are using the version 6.20 Patch Nr. 177), with Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002 SP1 in order to send and receive IDOC via the tRFC transport protocol. We are using the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for SAP 1.0 since February 2002, and today we are exchanging more than 25,000 IDOC/day with this architecture.
    When we migrate our SAP R/3 system to the version 4.7 with WAS 6.20, I was very enthusiastic about the possibility of sending the IDOC in XML via the standard HTTP transport protocol, because it would considerably simplify my architecture, i.e. no need of any (expensive) adapter any more! But, I had to realise that the quality of service exactly once will not be there anymore with HTTP as it exists with tRFC. Then, we carry on using the tRFC transport protocol with the adapter.
    (QUESTION) But recently, I followed the SAP Course TBIT40 XI Foundations and I learn that:
    1.     On one hand, the XI-SOAP protocol supports the quality of service exactly once by the usage of a message GUID within the XI-SOAP envelope;
    2.     On the other hand, all mySAP solutions using WAS 6.20 (or higher) carry a “small” Integration Engine (with XI-SOAP as the “native” transport protocol).
    Then, my question is: << Is it possible to exchange IDOC (XML) directly with an SAP R/3 4.7 (WAS 6.20) via the XI-SOAP transport protocol using the “small” Integration Engine embedded into it, with the quality of service exactly once? >>
    Many thanks in advance and best regards,
    Patrice Krakow

    Hello Patrice
    We have same issue. Is it possible to use IDoc (XML) directly with SAP 5.0 with SOAP (HTTP) without XI?
    Since your que is three years old, I'm sure you must have found some method for this.
    We'll highly appreciate your help.

  • Authorization Error while extracting data after applying SAP upgrade patch

    Hello All,
    Recently we have updated the SAP BW patch to 24 and ECC patch to 22. I have the access to perform extraction in RSA3 tcode in ECC.
    However, While performing the data load in BW, the process is failing at the Infopackage step with the following error:
    "You do not have authorization to extract from Datasource XXXX, Component FI-IO. Message no. R8073"
    My basis guy has given the necessary acces.. but still the issue persists..
    Please provide solutions ASAP... its very critical issue...
    Regards
    Sneha

    Hi,
         Are you loading the data with your username? it may cause problem sometimes because you may not have the authorization object S_RO_OSOA assigned in your roles.
    Try scheduling the loading job with the background user with which normally the process chains are run.
    i guess this should solve your problem, if not try adding this authorization object to the corresponding role and you can run with your user name itself.
    I am not sure about the auth objt , try and see.
    regards,

  • MOPatch bpmig.sh Structural Changes in SAP Bundle Patches

    Structural Changes in SAP Bundle Patches New!
    As of June 2014, there is a change in the internal structure of the SAP Bundle Patches (SBPs) for Oracle. While this has many benefits, applying the new SBP for the first time requires special handling. For more information, see the hot news SAP Note 2011199.
    When looking at note 2011199 I found due to the changed structure and to identify stand alone patches it is recommended to run the bpmig.sh script.
    To avoid these problems or to detect them before actually installing this SBP, you must run the bundle patch migration script bpmig which is delivered with MOPatch 2.1.16 and later.
    The script comes up with an error message:
    Cannot determine SBP version from "SAP Bundle Patch 11.2.0.3.2 - 201205".
    opatch / mopatch semselfs seems to function properly...
    Any clues?

    Hi,
    Please check the following SAP Note 2032109 - Executing bpmig.sh shows "Cannot determine installed SBP"
    Thanks.

  • Replace the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files - SAP JVM 5

    Hi Experts,
    I had a NetWeaver 7.1 system with SAP JVM 5. I tried to run a cryptography software on the system, but the current JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files of the JVM limited encryption algorithms and key lengths.
    I downloaded the jce_policy-1_5_0.zip file from the Sun website, unzipped it, replaced the old policy files (sapjvm_5/jre/lib/security/local_policy.jar and sapjvm_5/jre/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar) with the new ones, then restarted the server. But, after the server was restarted, the new policy files were deleted and the old ones were restored.
    Could you tell me what should I do to apply the new policy files?

    Hi,
    I went to
    http://service.sap.com/oracle-download
    then
    Oracle 10.2.0.5
    then
    OPatch
    The file I can see there is generic for ALL operating systems and the name is:
    OPatch_10205_Generic_v0.zip
    it seems that the version is 10.2.0.5, not  10.2.0.4.9 as you mentioned.
    I have downladed it and look at the README:
    Patch summary:
    README file for OPatch 10.2.0.5.0, the Oracle Interim Patching Tool.
    I'm not installing it, but it seems that the version is not the same as yours.
    Is this the one you have downloaded?
    Have you installed it properly? => may be you are running an older one

  • CAreer in SAP BASIS comaprision with SAP GRC/Security

    Hi Everyone,
    I am an SAP BASIS consultant with 2 years of experience working in a MNC company,
    I want to change my career to SAP GRC/SAP Security, i have some basic knowledge on SAP Security,
    COuld you please advice me, which one to choose,?
    Does  SAP GRC/Security has demand , and can we get oportunities to work abroad compared to SAP BASIS ?
    which one has more scope SAP BASIS or SAP Security/GRC ?
    Because in BASIS, i am not getting enough scope to work on some good things like Installation, upgrades, Migration,
    i am doing a very basic kind of work like tranports, job scheduling, monitoring, and other small activities ?
    So request you people to advice me ?

    Hi Rakesh
    I saw your post in GRC and was waiting of it to appear here
    First up - 2 years is still junior. You may find batch jobs, transports, monitoring, etc all mundane but it is a foundation and learning ground work and foundations to being a good Basis Administration. And one things for sure, an awesome basic (I name my best-techy-friend) makes a huge difference on project timelines and deliverables for the rest of us.
    Installation and Upgrades come with time. Whilst still performing junior tasks you could focus on reading up on approaches in case an opportunity in your job comes us and be prepared to prove to your management that you are ready for a bigger responsibility.
    Switching to GRC/Security would be pointless unless you have a desire to learn GRC or Security. These are my background and they are undervalued until things go wrong (insurance policy in a way).
    If you do switch you will reset your 2 years of domain experience back to 0 and you will start off with password resets and basic user administration
    It takes time to work through the ranks. It was 3 years before I got to build my first role. I spent my first few years in security on email chasing approvals, password resets, user account creation, running reports for audit - sounds familiar to what you are doing now?
    You have to master the basics before you are trusted and ready for the more complex activities. By knowing what you are doing now you will be more successful when the time comes to step up and do migrations, upgrades and installations. Support production by mastering you technical analysis skills is how you can break through being a fresher/junior
    Regards
    Colleen
    Ps - if your motivation is more than "good things" happy to answer questions specific to security and GRC.
    Also, boring doesn't mean it can't get interesting nor does it mean it's a worthless activity: SPAU transport imported before patching!!

  • SAP Bundle Patches VS Orclaes CPU Patches

    Fellow admins
    Sorry I am new to these Oracle CPU patches what is the difference between SAP Bundle and Oracle Patches besides Oracle CPU's are for Native ORacle systems and the Bundle patches have fixes related to SAP's interaction with Oracle? Is there any other things I should be concerned with?
    Thanks
