SAPEHPI ECC-DIMP missing addon - XML error ?

Question

Hello.
I'm trying to instal EHP3 using sapehpi, at the configuration step after the stack XML file is loaded I have this error.
ERROR: Unable to generate addon queue due to missing addons or support packages.
Missing Support Package(s):
      (ECC-DIMP)
The Enhancement Package Stack does not fit to the current system.
The XML was created in a similiar system that we have in our landscape then changed the SID, hostname and installation number. But the stack XML created in MOpz of solution manager manually edited doesn't have anything of ECC-DIMP.
The XML had to be manually edited because the download stack wasn't for this SID. That had to be done since this error Maintenance Optimizer don't detect EHP3 files, only EHP4
And we require EHP3 (not ehp4) for a Baseline install.
Any idea why ECC-DIMP says missing when the stack xml validates the previous ehp3 and stacks, in the earlier screen?
System is running sap ehp1 netweaver 7.0, and has Ecc-dimp 600, level 16 installed.

Hi Ruben,
Your target system has ECC-DIMP installed, while the stack xml has no details about this. This could be one reason why you are getting this error.
Try to retrieve the stack xml from the solman using RFC. This way you don't need to manually transfer or edit the stack config file. To get this to work, log on to the target system and check table BCOS_CUST using transaction SM30, and make sure that you see the name of the RFC connection OSS_MSG to SAP Solution Manager. Please take a look at this doc for more details: https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000293582009E.PDF
Another reason why this could happen is explained in SAP note 1387523.
Let me know if you are still stuck.
Cheers
