Hello World,
I am in a very tight jiffy here.
In preparation for the test upgrade of an ancient ECC6 system to xxx, we copied the Quality Assurance system of our ERP/ECC landscape to an isolated sandbox system (also named Q01).
Source System Version:
EHP5 FOR SAP ERP 6.0
SAP ECC 6.0
SAP ERP 6.0
SAP EHP2 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0
SAP PORTF AND PROJ MGMT 5.0
Target System Version:
EHP7 FOR SAP
ERP 6.0 SAP
ERP 6.0 SAP NETWEAVER 7.4
SAP PORTF AND PROJ MGMT 5.0
We used MOPZ from a Solution Manager with a new release level (7.x and most recent SP package stack), so I trusted the XML file that it calculated for us.
A co-worker of mine took care of the actual download, because we have certain bandwidth limitations to combat at the office.
I had SUM run over the flat dir, with all the SAR Archives in it, and it didn't complain that it couldn't find certain, required target packages.
So I proceeded with the upgrade and besides some minor hickups with locked transports and modified SAP tables, it went through fine until we reached step 'Postprocessing".
Then SUM suddenly complained about mismatches in table UVERS, stating that it didn't find the version numbers it expected.
And indeed, when I loaded the Stack XML file in SAINt, it shows that it has, for at least six modules, the correct target releases specified, but complained that it could not safely finish the queue, because it was "missing support packages".
I was baffled to say the least, but managed to download all missing/required packages by hand and extracted them into the EPS-Inbox.
But now I got the problem that as of 7.4 "the Support Package Update to SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.40 SP02, SP05 or to a higher SP where the update includes SP05 (e.g. from SP04 to SP06) is only possible with the SUM Tool" (SAP Note 1795865).
So I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, SUM won't continue and release the system, because it insists that UVERS isn't consistent with what it now expects to be in the system.
But I can't import those SPs manually, because all depends on "AS_ABAP", which can now only be imported via SUM, which is stuck/hang up on table UVERS.
I am already a week behind schedule on this one, so any real help here is truly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Donald
