How to reset a failed SAPehpi run

Hi Samuli,

5.5Resetting the Upgrade

You can reset the upgrade, that is, undo all changes that have been made

in the system by the upgrade program. For example, you may want to reset

the upgrade in the following cases:ªaï#©

You want to repeat one of the preparation roadmap steps (steps 1# 4) to

change an entry.ªaï#©

You ran the preparation roadmap steps for information purposes only and

do not want to upgrade the system now, but at a later point in

time.ªaï#©

You cannot complete the upgrade in time and therefore need to reset the

system to enable production operation again.

The procedure for resetting the upgrade depends on the roadmap step the

upgrade program has reached.

Procedure

During the Execution of the Preparation Roadmap Steps

As long as the upgrade is in one of the preparation roadmap steps, you

can reset a roadmap step by pressing the Back button of the upgrade GUI.

During the Preprocessing Roadmap Step

To reset the upgrade, proceed as follows:

1.

Make sure that the upgrade GUI displays the Back and Next buttons, which

indicate that SAPup is not in a dialog phase. If it is in a dialog

phase, the upgrade GUI displays the Repeat, Init, and Exit buttons. In

this case, choose Exit before resetting the upgrade.

2.

From the upgrade GUI menu bar, choose Upgrade Reset Upgrade.

5.5 Resetting the Upgrade

NOTE

If you reset the upgrade while the shadow system is running, the shadow

system service is not automatically uninstalled. You have to uninstall

the shadow system service manually. Otherwise, you are not able to

delete the upgrade directory since the service still accesses an

executable located in this directory.

3.

Stop the SL controller.

4.

Remove the upgrade directory.

5.

Start the upgrade from the beginning.

After Reaching the Downtime Roadmap Step

NOTE

Before you overwrite or delete the upgrade directory and the /usr/sap/

<SAPSID> directory, make a backup of these directories. SAP

Support may need this backup to analyze the error.

CAUTION

The time of the backup of the upgrade directory and the /usr/sap/<(>

<<)>SAPSID> directory must match the time of the backup of your

database.

1.

Reset the database, directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>, and the upgrade

directory if it is not part of /usr/sap/<SAPSID>. Use the backup

you made before entering the Downtime roadmap step, at the end of the

Preprocessing roadmap step [page 114].
2.
There are two options how to proceed: #É÷<#
Reset the upgrade completely and repeat all roadmap steps.
To do this, choose UpgradeReset Upgrade from the upgrade GUI menu. #É÷<#
Continue with roadmap step Downtime without repeating the other roadmap
steps.
You can leave the upgrade in step Preprocessing until you are ready to
proceed with the roadmap step Downtime.

SO now you have to execute below OS command then follow above
instruction.
(Please take a backup of upgarde directory first)
./SAPehpi reset upgarde (Windows: .\SAPehpi. exe reset upgarde)
Delete the EHPI directory.
start SAPehpi again

Thank You.
