Error in Preprocessing roadmap step while running EHPI

[jamal_asi]

I'm using EHPI to install Support Package Stack 09 on ECC 6.0. In the Preprocessing roadmap step, I'm getting the error:

Severe error(s) occured in phase MAIN_SHDINST/SUBMOD_SHDALIASCRE/SCEXEC_ALIAS!

I check the SAPehpi_troubleticket.log and it says:

Error Message: 24 processes failed, check 'SCEXEC_A.*' for details

I check file SCEXEC_A.EC1 and I see the following errors:

ERROR: Connect to SBX failed (20111004204404, probably wrong environment).

I can see that it is not able to log in as SAPR3SHD. If you had the same problem or if you have a suggestion on how to

go about resolving this, I really appreciate your help.

Try brconnect,

/thread/1683934 [original link is broken]

However, 'I'm using EHPI to install Support Package Stack 09 on ECC 6.0' is strange to me.

Thanks

I'm going to try this. Just curious, why is using EHPI to implement Support Package stacks strange.

Thanks.

There might be a recent update that the EhPi can be used for normal Support package stack upgrade as well, apart from EhP upgrade. I wasn't aware of it yet. New learning for me as well.

Or, you might be doing some ehp upgrade itself.

Thanks

Hi,

There is no such development with EHPi installer. You cannot use EHPi to deploy SP's in ECC 6.0. As name implies it is for enhancement package installation. You can check SAP note 1302772 for more information.

You can install SP's of EHP using EHPi but not SP's for ECC 6.0 system.

Could you please explain us which upgrade you are doing with EHPi ? If it is SP implementation in ECC 6.0 then it is not supported. If it is enhancement package upgrade then could you please tell us in which phase you are getting this error and also paste relevant logs here.

Thanks

Sunny

This is from Installation Guide of the the SAP Enhancement Package Installation Using SAP Enhancement Package Installer (SAPehpi) 7.00:

"whether you are installing an enhancement package or updating your system with a Support Package Stack, in both cases the procedure is the same"

Also from SAP note 1302772:

Use this SAP EHP Installer for the followong cases:

-Implementation of Support Package stacks for ABAP-only systems and dual stack systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0

Going back to the error, I changed the password of the SAPR3SHD using the command:

brconnect -u system/<systems_password> -f chpass -o SAPR3SHD -p sap

and then I went into transaction dbcon and changed the password there to sap/sap

and this resolved the issue. Thanks for your help.
