Hello,

What is the error message you are getting. You should not manually edit the file. If there is a issue with the stack.xml file then it should be corrected and new stack.xml file should be created.

Regards,

Gaurav

Hi Philip

Where you are downloaded the SPS files, keep the Stack.xml file in the same folder, and then try. same issue we faced in our installations.

Kindly refer the SCN link http://scn.sap.com/thread/3346803

Thanks

Hello,

Can you check if the directory have correct permission for the <sid>adm user. I hope this is the correct stack.xml you are using.

A common reason for this error is that you provide the path to the stack.xml (excluding the file name).

Please make sure that you are using the correct stack.xml file generated from the MOPZ. Make sure the directory which have the stack.xml have correct permissions. And make sure that you provide the

complete path including stackfile neme to the SUM tool

Please update me accordingly with the details.

Reagrds,

Gaurav

Hello

Why do you have forward slashes "/" in the path.

On Windows backward slashes "\" are used.

Hello Gaurav,

As i informed i took a copy of QAS server to test server, Host name i changed in the .xml file(SAPQAS to SAPTEST) and after that while am attaching the .xml, its showing so many software components are missing,If am correct we have to download all these software components with .xml file.I checked all the permissions, everything is ok.

Hi Philip

In this case you can configure the SAPTEST system to solution manager from there once again calculate from MOPZ take the new stack.xml file. Before calculating pls check the current SPS level in all the SAP software components

Thanks

Bejamin,

Am just selecting the file, the system is generating the slashes.

Hi,

Check if the Stack file generated was correct.You can regenerate the stack file again and check.

Check the owner and persmission of the Stack file

If i check the screen shot of your SUM, the path which has been chosen is showing incorrect

Also you can check the TargetSystemVersionReport.html for more error

If you want to update the patches manually, you can select the another option

Manually Prepared Directory and provide the path of the patches where you have stored and continue

Thanks & Regards

Hello

Try replacing the forward slashes with backward slashes and see if that helps.

Else try with a different version of SUM.

One question:

Is the stack file kept along with the SP's and Kernel files for the upgrade ?

Make sure the stack file is kept in the directory where all the files are kept.

Is the I: drive a mounted network share? If yes, then try using the UNC name (\\servername\sharename\EPS\in) instead of the mounted drive. The latest SUM seems to have a problem with mounted shares.
