Stack XML error in Java stack during update in SUM

[S_Sriram]

Hello everyone,

We are facing an issue uploading the XML file for the update of Solman 7.2 from SP02 to SP10.

The error is as follows; Error: In case you have chosen Stack configuration file option, provide the path to the stack XML. Otherwise, provide the directory containing the archives.

The same happens when we try to provide the directory of the packages. Error: Incorrect input; provide the correct path to the directory.

I am sure that we are providing the right directory for the packages and XML file.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello Nour,

As per the log, it seems that the error is related to the XML file.

Jan 17, 2020 5:57:11 PM [Error ]: The provided Stack file or Directory: .../MP_Stack_1000870928_20200117_.xml, is not valid.

Some tips are mentioned like checking the XML file name and giving the right permissions for the installation user ID.

Hello,

Miguel Vizcaino is right, it is XML file related.

I would try to access XML stack with your <sid>adm user e.g. ls -al <full_path>/MP_Stack_1000870928_20200117_.xml or cat <full_path>/MP_Stack_1000870928_20200117_.xml or similar Windows commands.

Also i would recommend giving full access to your XML stack file (and your binaries directory) to prevent further issues.
