Hi everyone

We are in the process of upgrading our ECC ERP system from EHP5 to EHP 7 on OS: HP-UX.

as for preparation, we did a system copy of this system (NP3) to a test

system (NP3) and successfully upgraded the test system to EHP 7.

we now want to continue with the rest of the system but got stuck in

PREP_EXTRACT/SSFS_PREP for the past 10 days. we configured SSFS and the

SAP system is up and running. R3trans -d returns no errors. please see below for log,

Your system is running on Oracle database 11.2.0.4.0 but it is still using Oracle Instant 10.2.0.4.0

Stop the complete system. Update the client and restart the upgrade.

Dear Steven,

SSFS configuration is not getting reflected for Oracle.

Try to remove the parameter from spfile and pfile

1. OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX =  ops$

  2. REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT = true.

Now setup the SSFS configuration and retry the steps.

Hi,


SAP system is up and running. R3trans -d returns no errors

I would like to first analyze trans.log file for SSFS configuration from the R3trans -d output.

Hello Steven,

I could see it your DB is Oracle.

Please check tablespace PSAPTEMP size.

Perform log backup and try again.

Hi Anand, thanks for the quick response. i increased PSAPTEMP by 20G as part of system preparation. it currently has 23G free space.

Hi Steven,

Have you performed a oracle upgrade recently.

As from the log provided the client information is still pointing to 10g.

So can you please once check if you have the old oracle client available and also do verify your oracle_home if required make it to as below:-

setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/NP3/11204

And updateDIR_LIBRARY & SHLIB_PATH using old client details.

also do verify if you have the oracle client extracted in your exe directoried for the .jar files.

if the .jar files are not there you can copy them from the existing instaclient.

Hi Ram

You are right, i upgraded from 11202 to 11204 as preparation for the EHP 7 upgrade.

my environment variables is:

ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/NP3/112_64

and theres a symbolic linlk that point to /oracle/NP3/11204

lrwxr-xr-x   1 oranp3 dba         17 Apr  3 11:09 112_64 -> /oracle/NP3/11204

value for other variables:

SHLIB_PATH=/usr/sap/NP3/SYS/exe/run:/oracle/client/11x_64/instantclient

DIR_LIBRARY=/usr/sap/NP3/SYS/exe/run

i also installed the latest instant client at per SAP Note 819829

but please explain a bit more about extracting the oracle client in my exe directory. the note explains that i extract in the /oracle/client/11x_64/instantclient_11204 directory.

maybe i missed something

thanks in advance

Hi Steven,

can you check if you have below jar files from the client directory to exe.

ojdbc6.jar

ojdbc14.jar

Also do verify you have below SHLIB_PATH path as =/usr/sap/NP3/SYS/exe/run:/oracle/client/11x_64/instantclient

And can you give try with a oracle_home as /oracle/NP3/11204

Let me know if that works.

Ram

You do not extract the Oracle Instant Client in the exe directory. You need to extract the client into the directory called /oracle/client/11x_64. Afterwards you will modify the environment variable for the <SID>adm user and restart SAP. The kernel used for EHP7 doesn't work with the older version of the Oracle Instant Clients.

Hi, applogies for the delay. i was away from office.

i have gone throught all your advice and realized that the system was using the wrong oracle client. i have made the following changes in the /oracle/client directory

renamed 10x_64 and created a new link with user sidadm
