Upgrade SRM 5.5 Dual Stack to SRM 7.0 EHP2 - NW7.03

[dominique_remy3]

Hello communities,

We are upgrading our SRM System 5.5 to SRM 7.0 EHP2

We did the following :

1. Generate the XML via the MOPZ (Option Upgrade with Enhancement Package Installation)

2. Download all the files links to this XML stacks

The current release and the target release were well regognize. by the MOPZ

3. Put all the files in a download directory with the XML

4. Start the SUM (Software Update Manager 1.6)

5. Pass all the preparation steps

6. The source release and the target relese were well detected byt SUM

But in the phase PREP_INPUT/SELSTACKXML_ASK

I've got the following error :

ETQ373 parameter "EV_MESSAGE" = "The stack configuration is not valid for the system XXX, inst.-no. XXXXXXX"

In the log SELSTACKXMLA.LOG (I can see)

1 ETQ359 RFC Login to: System="XXX", AsHost="XXXX" Nr="00", GwHost="XXXXX", GwService="sapgw00"

2 ETQ232 RFC Login succeeded

2 ETQ374 parameter "EV_RC" = "8"

4 ETQ399 ... Error reading stack info (rc = 8, reason = "The stack configuration is not valid for the system XXX , inst.-no. XXXXX")

4EETQ399 Stack configuration not useable: The stack configuration is not valid for the system XXX , inst.-no. XXXXX

So I'm wondering if it is really the good way to upgrade our SRM system ?

I used the upgrade guide for SRM 7.0 EHP2 Abap + upgrade guide for SRM 7.0 EHP2 Java + SUM Update Guide (+ some OSS notes) and I've found no trace about the "Export DVD", "Java DVD" etc...all set of DVD that I've used in the past for upgrading our ECC system (1 year ago).

Is that really the path to upgrade our SRM System ??? This sound really look strange for me that my system could be upgraded with so less bunch of files (93 files were downloaded with the XML) it looks more like the files needed for an EHP update !

Anyone has already use the "SUM" to do this kind or upgrade ?

Thanks a lot  for your input

Hello,

Finally I've managed to find the root cause.

Here the solution

There was an issue in the XML file generated in DSM, I've found an inconsistency concerning the "System Number" that was assigned to "**** Not Yet***" in the *.txt & *.XML file.

I've found and fixed the inconsistency in the LMDB related to my system then I've regenerate the "XML" in my Solman.

I've restart from scratch the "SUM" and now the phase PREP_INPUT/SELSTACKXML_ASK passed successfully.

Kr,
