Hello,

OS: Windows Server 2003 X64

DB: MS SQL Server 2005 X64

During the upgrade of our ERP system (from R/3 4.7 to ERP 6.0 EHP5) the SAPup
stopped with the following error during the phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG:

Checks after phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG were negative!

Last error code set: Detected 467 errors summarizes in 'ACTUPG.ELG' Check logfiles
'ACTUPG.ELG' and 'E:\usr\sap\DEV\upg\abap\log\SAPup.ECO'

I checked the ACTUPG.ELG file and it show me the following errors:

Hello to all,

The problem was solved with the following actions:

For data element ZESTIMATI there is a domain 'CHA10' maintained, which does
not exist, to solve this error I maintain a valid domain for that data element
--'CHA11'.

In table ZCONSUMO_SEMANA_STRUCT I found there is a field 'MULKO'

specified twice, so I deleted one of that fields... because it is part of include
'IMSEG3' which is now in standard, so I deleted the MULKO field from table
ZCONSUMO_SEMANA_STRUCT.

The same occurs for ZMIGO_EDICAO_STRUCT, so I did the same that I did in
table ZCONSUMO_SEMANA_STRUCT.

Regarding the error VFAGL_GCDVC_VER_C, I talked with SAP, and they

recommended to ignore this error because this object is obsolete. Therefore in
SAPup I chose the option "Accept non-severe errors and repeat phase
Main_SHDRUN/ACTU_UPG" , and then this error in VFAGL_GCDVC_VER_C
didn't appear any more!

I needed to unlock the shadow instance with the following command:

cd <upgrade directory>/bin
./SAPup unlockshd <SAPSID>

Then I log on in system with a different user than DDIC user and I solved all the
errors with this user!

After all the corrections, I locked the shadow instance:

cd <upgrade directory>/bin
./SAPup lockshd <SAPSID>

Kind regards,
Onorio

Hi,

Have you checked the details in SAPACCG702.DEV?

Also open a message with SAP.

Regards

tracy_zhang replied Jul 28, 2013 0

Hi,

You may need to check the table or data element in shadow system, the check will
show details, the table name you have posted seems all customizing tables instead of
SAP standard table. You may need to check the version and ask your company's
developer to fix up the error.

I have already solved some issue like that in this phase,hope it helps.

onorio replied Jul 28, 2013 0

Hello David,

The file SAPACCG702.DEV is big! It contains a lot of information about the tables
activation and the result of that...!

I opened a message to SAP... I?m waiting!

Any tip?!

Thank you,
Onorio

Al Fournier replied Jul 29, 2013 0

Every thing you need is in the log that you provided and you have been given the
proper hint. The tables displayed as errored need to be reviewed in the shadow and
activated in order to continue. once you can successfully activate the objects then you
can move on...The system offers you some choice on whether to ignore non critical
errors and continue or to restart the phase. if you restart the phase and the same
errors occur then fix and activate the objects and then choose to continue with the
ignore but do this only after you have tried the restart....take good notes...you should
be discovering these types of errors in your sandbox upgrade (which should be a copy
of production) and ironing out all the issues before performing the upgrade in
production. In essence build a logical and tested script as you will for the actual
production upgrade

Hello
Connect to the shadow system and activate these tables manually by calling the Tx
SE11.
If you get any errors during the activation check the logs and come back with them.

Hello,

I need to access to the shadow instance with other user than DDIC but the system
show me a message "Upgrade still running: Logon not possible". I searched for a
solution, a command to unlock it, and I found it in "Troubleshooting and Administration
on Windows" but the commands didn't work!

I tried with the following commands without success:

cd \usr\sap\put\exe (I don't have this path)
tp unlocksys <SAPSID> pf=<transport profile>
tp unlock_eu <SAPSID> pf=<transport profile>

And the other command is:

SAPup tp unlock <SAPSID>

But neither of these commands worked!

Can you help me please and tell me how can I unlock the shadow instance?!

Thank you,
Onorio

David Caddick replied Jul 30, 2013 0

You will have to logon as DDIC

onorio replied Jul 30, 2013 0

Hello David,

But I need to logon with other user in other clients of the shadow instance!

How can I unlock the upgrade?

Thank you,
Onorio

David Caddick replied Jul 30, 2013 0

Hi Onirio,

Have you tried to use DDIC to solve the issue?

If I was you I would not unlock the shadow system unless SAP say you should.

Regards

Reagan Benjamin replied Jul 30, 2013 0

Hello
And the other command is: SAPup tp unlock <SAPSID>
This is wrong.

You need to go to the bin directory in the upgrade file system and unlock it like I have
shown below.

cd <upgrade directory>/bin
./SAPup unlockshd <SAPSID>

Then you will be able to logon with any user

You lock the shadow instance

cd <upgrade directory>/bin
./SAPup lockshd <SAPSID>

Hi Onirio,

It is not a good idea to unlock the shadow system during the upgrade, unless SAP has
specifically instructed you do this.

You can corrupt the upgrade.

Hello,

Please check the SUM troubleshooting guide.

Mainly the sections "Evaluating the ELG log files" and "Correcting Errors in the
ACT_UPG"

Paste the last contents of the log files so that we know what problem are you facing.

Reagan Benjamin replied Jul 31, 2013 0

Hello
Unlocking the shadow system and also the primary system during the upgrade is done
when you encounter an issue during the upgrade process.
You don't unlock an instance when the upgrade is in progress.
There are few SAP notes that speak about unlocking the SAP system during upgrade.

Regards
RB

David Caddick replied Jul 31, 2013 0

HELLO,

It is still not recommended to unlock a system during an upgrade, unless SAP have
recommended for your issue. This recommendation can come via a SAP note for
known problems or to solve a problem you have reported to SAP.

As there are no notes for this specific problem you need to get SAP to look.

Regards

Reagan Benjamin replied Jul 31, 2013 0

Good evening
I disagree with you.
The DDIC ACTIVATION ERRORS are common during upgrade activities.
I have faced numerous times these issues.
To find out more about the activation issue you will need to analyse the dumps in the
SAP system. For that you need to connect to the SAP system and check it.
DDIC user will let you login to the system without unlocking the system from the OS
level.
If there is a need to implement some changes then you will have to unlock the system.
There is no where written that you are NOT supposed to unlock the system without the
permission of SAP.

RB
