Stack defenition file

Hello,
I have an ECC 6.0 enhancement pack 3 system based on Windows 32-bit. I have to implement Enhp4, but I have to do this by JSPM/SAINT because the ehp installer is only available for 64-bit. I have to generate a Stack defenition file (XML) in my Solution Manager. The Solution Manager is upgraded to the latest version (ehp1) and I am able to select the ehp4. However, I just cannot seem to get it right. It gives errors all over the place. For now, I have too little knowledge of the Solution Manager to fix this, I am working on that. The important thing is that I cannot generate the XML file and I am in desperate need for that right now.
Is it possible that someone generates one for me and send it by email? Or does the machine have to be connected to the Solution Manager somehow?

Thanks Markus, very well discribed
I'm a bit further now, I will share as much information, maybe it will help some people.
As I suspected, it's all due to lack of knowledge from the Solution Manager. Like Anthony, I ignored the SLM warning and in the end I got a message:
Error Only one EhP release is allowed additionally:
Information Make sure you have implememented note 1287216
Information Select at least one of the technical usages additionally:
Information *HCM - Learning Solution*
Information *Learning Solution - ABAP only*
The note was already implemented, it turns out it has something to due with the fact that Ehp3 already is installed in my system, but the solution to that has nothing to do with it.
Thanks to [this|Only one EhP release is allowed aditionally:] thread I selected some more relevant instances in SMSY and than this error did not occur. I could select a lot more and then I got a defenition file! Now I have to find out wich instances indeed are relevant, but I will get there.
SLM still isn't working, it says 'SLM services not available' when I test it but if I enter the URL manually it works fine. Oh well, I guess that's for another day :). On with the implementation.
Thanks for the support and regards,
Martin

EHP4 - Stack XML file related issue

Hi,
I have the following two issues from DSWP tcode (or solution_manager):
1. From DSWP code -> Change Management -> Maintenance Optimizer, New
Maintenance Transaction and i select the ERP system , then i select the radio button Enhancement Package Installation after which it is showing a drop down from where i can
select EHP4 installation and second drop down i can select support
stack 03. But if i do the same thing again by coming out and going back
in on the same day it is showing only support stack 01, Next day again
for one time it is showing.. --- Why is it like this ?
2. Also after selecting the EHP4 version, support stack 03 it log's on
to the ERP system and it comes out with lot of components from
which if i select some of them and deselect some of them as per our
need, it continues to next screen and confirms the file from download
manager and also the XML file gets's created but unfortunately the XML
file contains all components including the one we deselect because of
which we ended up in doing all shown components last week. We
are in a stage of applying another technical usage and the xml is
created with all the components again. Any idea how to avoid this ?
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi,
The problem might be configuration of your system in SMSY transaction ...Because if some componenets you have selected there will come as selected by default...
Moreover go to SAP Note 1134872 - Maintenance Optimizer: FAQ for Stack Delta Files and related sap note to this note which contains problems related to MOPZ and stack xml file..
Thanks

RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML shows SC version differs for JAVA and DUAL-Stack xml files

Hi All,
I am using the report/program RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML to copy the stack xml file I used from a previous upgraded system. Systems are identical. However, report shows below..
"Software Component Version KRNL64UC7.20 [01200615320200013056] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
and
Software Component Version SAPJVM6.1 [01200615320200012982] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
However, this is not the case when checked, it's strange that this particular component has the same version between the two systems, but the report says they differs in version.
Please help check how to resolve the issue.
SAP notes mentioned in below KBA were already obsolete. Solution Manager system just upgraded to 7.1 SP11.
1711612 - RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML Report Troubleshooting.
We would appreciate your response for us to resolve this issue. Thanks.
Regards,
Philip

Hi Jansi, Divyanshu,
Both system have the same patch levels.
Here the situation, SYS1 is where we generated the stack xml file. Afterwards, used that stack file to upgrade SYS1.
Now we built SYS2, ensuring it has the same components version with the un-upgraded version of SYS1, so yes they have same patch number for same components, for this issue, kernel and jvm.
Thus, instead of running MOPZ for SYS2, we used RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML to convert the stack file of SYS1 to be used for SYS2.
This is where we encountered below messages, when performing the copy.
"Software Component Version KRNL64UC7.20 [01200615320200013056] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
and
Software Component Version SAPJVM6.1 [01200615320200012982] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
We previously used SOLMAN 7.0 SP23, and the report is working fine there. Then recently, solman was upgraded to 7.1 SP11, and now the report is not working with the above issue.
We would appreciate if you could share actions on how we can fix the issue.
Regards,
Philip

Twicking Stack.XML file

Hello Experts,
We are doing the ECC6 EHP4 upgrade in our system. As per the process we generated Stack.XML first from our Solution manager for our test system and we used it for very first EHP4 installation on our test system. EHP4 was successfully installed. Now we are repeating the exact same EHP4 installation in to our next system which has different SID, Host etc.
Is it possible to just update the existing Stack.XML file and replace new host and SID of the next system in it, rather than re doign all Solution Manager steps just to generate new Stack.XML for next system ?
Thanks,
Harshal

Good to hear that, so what all i need is just to change the
Hostname, SID and installation number in it ?
or
anything else as well ? How should i keep the new file name as it contains some numbers in the file name
(e.g. SMSDXML_<SID>_<DATE&TIME>.<ID> (SMSDXML_ECB_20100121000340.255) ?
Thanks,
Harshal

Can someone please upload the original downloads stack .doc file that comes default with a clean install?

Can someone please upload the Downloads Stack.doc file to somewhere for me to download? The document detailing how the downloads stack works. I deleted it by accident hoping to free up space but figured out that the dowloads stack now looks horrible without it. So, can someone please upload it? Thanks. The document with the green down arrow that comes with your mac when you clean install the OS. I don't exactly want to clean install Mountain Lion just for the document so... yeah.

It is not a doc file, but a pdf.
Here it is for you. I'll leave it up for 24 hours, or until you indicate you have it (whichever comes first).

Cannot generate stack.xml file

Greetings,
We are not able to generated stack.xml file in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in
We have tried in /n/tmwflow/mopz_stack.
MOPZ is configured we are able to approve support patches
This xml file is required to upgrade the ECC_DIMP from 600 to 605
Please advice
R..../-

Wrote to SAP. Got the below mentioned reply from them
Please make sure that in transaction SMSY, in the Header Data tab for
the system you want to upgrade, both ERP 6 and EHP5 for ERP 6 are added
as product versions and also active. Information about why this is
needed can be found in note 1464712.
Please don't forget to choose a relevant product instance for ERP 6.
After this is done, please enter the system in an ERP 6 logical
component. Please add the new ERP 6 logical component to another
solution, and please proceed to opening the Maintenance Optimizer
transaction from the solution with the ERP 6 logical component.
The option to choose should be 'Enhancement Package install'.
The technical usage to choose is Discrete Ind.& Mill Products.
If somehow you are not able to choose technical usage Discrete Ind.&
Mill Products in the technical usage screen in Maintenance Optimizer:
please check note 1324838 for the required product instances of ERP 6

MOPZ has issues calculating stack XML file in SOLUTION MANAGER

Hello,
We have a SOLUTION MANAGER system on NW 7.0 EHP1 SP stack level at initial support stack (ISS).
Recently we upgraded all our R/3 systems to ECC6.0 EHP4 SPS04 and now we are trying to upgrade the stack level to EHP4 SPS07. So we are trying to get a XML file from MOPZ but no luck.
The backend system has all the correct data updated in SMSY and all looks fine but while we try to calculate the stack for EHP4 SPS07 it ends with error like below mentioned.
Please look into the errors and throw some light if anyone has come across the same.

hi
can you check the sap note
1. Note 1277035 - Solution Manager: EHP4 product data missing
might be this could be the reason for your issue
or
check the thread already discussed the same and the solution also provided
[EHP4 upgrade error on SAPK-603DHINEAPS|EHP4 upgrade error on SAPK-603DHINEAPS]
////////////////It seems that there is a small bug in teh software vector for EA-PS.
Essentially, SAINT prevents you from going forward because it thinks that you don't have the correct version of EA-PS installed.
The solution for this is described in OSS Note: 1143022
"To import EA-PS in a system that already has the level EA-APPL 604, load the attached file ACP_EAPS.SAR into your system (SPAM-> Support Package -> Load Packages -> from Frontend) before you start the import using SAPehpi.

Problem with Stack XML file

Hello,
We have an ECC 6 system with EHP 4 SPS 5 and we watn to install a new Technical Usage (IS-OIL, IS-PRA and IS-UT)
In order to do that I have to supply an xml file created by the MOPZ.
I created a new MOPZ transaction, in the phaze "Update Options" I selected : Enhancement Package Installation,
Afterwards I selected in Target Enhancment package stack : SAP ERP Enhanecment Package 4 on NW7.01 - SP Stack 05
We do not want to upgrade the Stack to a latter one.
I have selected Oil & Gas with Utilities and continued.
The Sack XML that was created contained SAP-APPL, SAP-BASIS and SAP-ABA in patch level 8. we do not want to upgrade these components.
Is there a way to install a new Technical Usage without upgrading these components?
and if there is how can I create XML file suited for this situation?
Please Advice,
Zvi Gilinsky

Hello,
There is an equivalence of Support Package levels between EHP stacks and baseline ERP 6 stacks. Note 1064635 has a list of these equivalences.
In any case, stack 5 for EHP4 of ERP should include stack 5 of NW 701.
By your description it looks like you are having a Maintenance Optimizer issue. What is the Maintenance Optimizer stack level?
Best regards,

Can't convert stack XML file using report RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK for upgrade

Hello Colleagues/ SAP Experts,
Here is a background. 2 weeks ago, we have generated an XML stack file using MOPZ in solman 7.1 for the following systems (P6D which is DEV,
P6Q which is quality, P6R which is regression and P1P which is production). We were at our technical cutover rehearsal phase and the system that we were rehearsing was P6R. But AFTER our technical cutover, a new java component, which is seeburger as2 adapter, was installed in P1P, PRODUCTION. Thus, the landscape of P1P has changed as a new component was introduced and we believe that the generated XML file 2 weeks ago will no longer be valid for P1P. Instead of generating another xml file thru mopz for P1P, we would like to use report RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML to convert the XML file OF P6R to map it toP1P. I have uploaded P6R XML and the target is P1P. So as you can see, P6R XML (source) --> P1P target.
Actions already done are the following:
1) Fulfilled and followed the resolution in note: 1711612
RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML Report Troubleshooting
2) SAP-OSS is working in SM59
Basically, program RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK does not convert the Regression system's xml to the target, which is production. Kindly see attached screenshot. *the screenshot shows only 1 component in error but upon clicking the 'next difference' button, it will still show other components. I have checked my lmdb settings, will there be workaround for the issue?
Regards,
Meinard

Hello Divyanshu Srivastava / Reagan Benjamin ,
Thank you for your replies. Yes I noticed that a new higher patch for one java component was already present when I have regenerated recently for production using mopz. Anyways, SAP has returned a message wherein they edited the xml file themselves. Most of errors were eliminated only error was kernel versions was not matched. We need to upgrade kernel of our production and test if it works. Hopefully it will. Thanks though at first we did not edit the xml as according to one sap note I read it will not be supported by SAP. Closing this thread now

Expanding stacks loses files from Lightroom - help!

I've just discovered the delights of stacking, and have stacked brackets in several folders. The first time I expanded these (via Photo > Stacking > expand all stacks), in order to rename all the files in the folder, it worked fine. However since then, when I expand a stack (either via the contextual menu or the keyboard shortcut) the stacked files disappear and only the top image exists, according to Lightroom. I have to reimport the stacked files at their current location for them to be accessible in Lightroom. This has happened in two separate sessions, yesterday and today (i.e. quitting and relaunching, and restarting the computer don't help). What on earth am I doing wrong? I'd really like to use this feature, but this gremlin makes it unusable.
I'm using version 1.2 on an Apple Mac with OS 10.4.9 (my files are unedited NEF files).

Turn your filters off. It is likely some of the images in your stacks have different ratings to the top one.

Can Automatic stacking of files coming back in from PS be disabled?

When I send a DNG file to PSCS4 with the "edit in PS" command in LR (2.3) and then finish with the new file in PS and save it as a PSD, it gets automatically put back in LR just fine. BUT I notice that it is always stacked with the original DNG file (in the open stack configuration). I would like it to be NOT stacked at all and just organized according to file name.
Can this automatic stacking be turned off? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance.
Scott

When I open up a DNG file in LR 2.3 it opens directly in PS WITHOUT going through Camera raw and has all of the adjustments I have made to it in LR, thus it would seem to me that LR is the Raw Converter that is doing the work. I never see the Camera Raw dialog box/controls, but I always see all the adjustments that I have made in LR before sending the file off to PS.
This experience seems to contradict what you have said.
Can you help me understand this further?
I appreciate that it isn't obvious, but when you choose Edit in Photoshop CS4 (Ctrl/Cmd+E) in Lr2.x the DNG file is sent directly to Photoshop and processed by Camera Raw in the background. The converted file is not saved at that point but instead exists solely in RAM until saved in Photoshop. However, when you configure Lr2.3 to use Photoshop CS4 as an additional external editor the DNG file will be processed by Lr and the converted TIFF/PSD is saved before being sent to Photoshop.

Export Options_Automatic Stacking and File Size control

There is a big hang-up in work flow, and I'd assume it's the same for many professional photographers.
It would be great to be able to Export an edited photo (tiff, psd, jpg, RAW), and during the export be able to specify maximum file size (as you can control in Photoshop's Save to Web command), and then also be able to have Lighroom automatically stack the exported image with the original.
This is a big hang-up when you're finished editing multiple sized copies due to different media, and then you have the final web-sized image for your photo gallery. CUrrently, I have to go to Save to Web in Photoshop, and then save it to my desktop. Then I have to manually import that compressed jpg into Lightroom, and put it into the original library or collection.

Yes, the ability to export to a given file size would be awesome for those of us who post many images to the web.
Also, being able to export and automatically add the exported file to my catalogue (Same as when you edit in PS) stacked with the original, would really aid my workflow.
