dear all
in SAP EHP8 I'm experiencing a strange behaviour.
when I manually add in a empty role a transaction or a menu from a SAP MENU the authorization field is populated ONLY with TCODE field.
Is it a NEW standard behaviour?
Someone else has found a note and know how to manage or revert back the situation to the old modality?
thank you
Hi All,
It has always been frustrated when your ACT_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_INC phases are running very slow due to low number of MAX UPTIME PROCESSES enter earlier.
I've been looking for a method to increase MAX UPTIME PROCESSES during upgrade, or shadow instance creation, but to no avail and guru here said there's no way to amend the Uptime Processes after you input the value during the preparation phase, but just to wait until it finish.
However, i found out this can be done by changing the value for parameter mainimp_proc in *.TPP files (located under EHPI\abap\bin). eg of *.TPP files to be changed are based on the *.ECO located under EHPI\abap\tmp)
For instance:
youu2019ll see below command in TPAPP.ECO file:
EXECUTING D:\usr\sap\EHPI\abap\exe\tp.exe pf=D:\usr\sap\EHPI\abap\bin\SHDUPGIMP1.TPP
Therefore, you can increase the number of UPTIME processes by changing the value mainimp_proc in SHDUPGIMP1.TPP
In order to change this, first, you need to kill the R3trans processes, and SAPehpi will prompt you the error message. take this opportunity to change the parameter. Make a backup before you change any files.
To maintain consistency, i think is good to amend parameter mainimp_proc in every *.TPP based on the time it created when you launch the EHPI. Because, SAPEHPI will generated the value you enter into *.TPP file base on the global template. Also, check on every *.ECO file in /tmp for each phase to determine what *.TPP file is being read.
example of .TPP files:
SHDUPGIMP1.TPP, SHADOW.TPP, DEFAULT.TPP, TOOLIMPM.TPP, TOOLIMPI.TPP, and etc
For your information, it is not recommend to change the processes during the upgrade and you should bear your own responsibility. The purpose of this post is just for sharing.
For my situation, my colleague has insert value "2" for MAX UPTIME PROCESSES and it's veryslow due to only 2 R3trans is running and the clock is ticking for us. I change the parameter to "6" after some analysis done how EHP read the value. The good news is i can see 6 R3trans are running and 6 Support Packages are importing in /EHPI/abap/tmp.
Time it takes to complete had shortened tremendously and upgrade completed without any error.
Please provide any feedback on how it works if youu2019ve tried it or going to try it in future.
Thanks,
Nicholas.
Dear All,
I am configuring oracle backup and script for mounting tape in tape_box without Tivoli. The script (/usr/sap/ORQ/SYS/exe/run/mount_tape.csh) is empty (for testing) or only contain "exit 0", but brbackup always recognized this as failed. The tape box is /dev/rmt1 and the drive is /dev/rmt1. Below is the excerpt of error log and profile. I have already tested the profile using tape only, without tape_box, rmt1, and without mount_cmd successfully. Can you see what seems i missed here?

Dear Experts,
We are in process of applying EHP5 for our freshly installed ECC6.0 system (Win2008R2 and Oracle 11.g - MSCS).
The upgrade is currently in the Downtime phase MAIN_NEWBAS/TABIM_UPG and is running for past 3 days. The log files are not getting updated and there is no mention of error in any files that were last updated. Besides the sever has 48 GB RAM.
Where would I get any possible lead to check for the problem.
Thank You.
Best Regards,
Prashant P.
Proceeding to an upgrade with the latest SUM 1.0 SP16 (PL2)
i had to stop SUM for an OS maintenance period.
i'm running on AS/400 - IBM i - i5/OS
i was at phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG (36%)
then on a dialog screen i used the Exit button to leave SUM.
This causes job SUMSTART to end in QUSRWRK *SBS
Then i wanted to restart SUM.
Call QP2term
cd /usr/sap/QAU/SUM
./STARTUP confighostagent QAU
then http://sapqau:1128/lmsl/sumabap/QAU/doc/sluigui
i keep getting the screen with "The tool is not running"
Anyone has experienced it, has a clue or it my be a problem with SUM 1.0 SP16 (PL2) ?
Best regards,
Roger Arsenault
