SUM tool - cannot find packages in the download directory

[Former Member]

Hi,

Created download directory H:/EHP6

Put the stack configuration XML into H:/EHP6

Extracted SUM into H:/EHP6_stack, this it created subdirectory H:/EHP6/SUM

Then started STARTUP.BAT from H:/EHP6/SUM

In the Select Target, enteed the /H:/EHP6/SMSDXML...XML

But getting the error below

   
    Error: Some of the
    archives defined in the stack configuration file were not found in the
    download directory.
 
It does not seem to recognize that the H:/EHP6 is the download directory and cannot see any package.

Any idea what I am missing here.

Thanks,

Terry

Hello Terry,

please check file SUM_DEFINE-TARGET-SOURCE_**.LOG in /sdt/log/. There you should see which package it is asking for (and that is missing). Compare it agains the XML stack file, just to confirm. Then download it and put on the same directory of the other packages, this will solve the problem.

Hi Thomas,

Found the root-cause. Although the stack xml and the packages were in the same folder, SUM still looks for the packages in DIR_EPS_ROOT folder. SUM does not actually ask for 'download directory'.

Currently, the DIR_EPS_ROOT is shared by all our SAP systems, and it is on different server. So during the extraction phase, it extracts the packages from a remore server into the local server - which takes longer and of course impact network. Although DIR_EPS_ROOT can be changed to the local server - this will require restart, which is not easy on a production server.

Regards,

Terry

Hello Terry,

Could you please let us know if it is reporting for some specific packages?? If you could provide the complete error message from the logs it will help to analyse.
