SPAM update of DMIS stalled with ABAP Short Dump

Question

Hi Experts,
Was wondering if someone could help me. I am trying to install DMIS on my NW 702 system. The installation sort of halted half way and now I am just not able to get into SPAM. Everytime I try to start SPAM the system loops for a good few minutes and it short dumps as below:

Hi
The Abap programs get a timeout when trying to update table PAT10 ( OCS Semaphore).
Check in SM12 if there are locks on that table
Check also that table contents, there should be only one entry, what is in field OCS_TOOL ?
DMIS should be installed using transaction SAINT (in client 000) and not SPAM.
