EHP4 installation

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have installed SAP ECC 6.0 with OS "ibm i(V6R1)" and database "ibm db2 for

i"

We were trying to upgrade to EHP4. After successfully downloading

pataches from solman and following Installation Guide

We have applied all notes and executed commands successfully in OS But

when we use a windows system with java version 1.6.0_20 to get GUI and

when

using http://hostname:4239 or http://FQDN:4239 it is not connecting

We have also maintained server entry in host file of windows also tried

with disabling proxy settings in http->interent options->connection-

>lan settings

But we are not getting the EHP installer screen. Please advice

Best Regards,

Have you tried using Java 1.5 on your windows...

I think there was a note somewhere which mentioned this..or maybe someone mentioned it in this forumn.....

You cannot use 1.6. Try installing Java 1.5 and try then and let us know

Thanks

Does the website open on which you start the EHP installer?

Any firewalls on the IBM box or on your local machine or in the network between them active?

Hi Markus,

I checked with network team there isnt any firewall configured. since the development system is just installed

Ok.

Try the following:

- open a cmd.exe on your windows machine

- enter "telnet <hostname> 4239"

Do you get a connection?

Hi Markus,

We get the attached message

Connecting To 4239...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect

failed

[markus_doehr2]

> Connecting To 4239...Could not open connection to the host

That means that the SAPehpi is not running.

Please post the output of how you started SAPehpi.

Hi Markus,

These were the steps followed after implementating notes as mentioned in the guide

1) downloaded file SAPehpi_29-10005808.SAR(OS/400)

2) Unpack the installation package with the following command:SAPCAR 'u2013 xvf <download directory>/<path>/<Archive>.SAR -R /usr/sap/<SID>'

using QSH

installation directory of EHPI created is /usr/sap/DEV/EHPI

3)QSH CMD('/usr/sap/DEV/EHPI/loadepilib DEV')

4) ADDLIBLE SAPEPI

STARTEHPI SID(DEV) TYPE(*ABAP) EPIPATH('/usr/sap/DEV/EHPI') OPTIONS('jce_policy_zip=/usr/sap/DEV/EHPI/SAPJCE.ZIP' '-srvarg=/RoleService/off')

after executing above command message were displayed as

Message . . . . : Running command SBMJOB CMD(STARTEHPI SID(DEV) TYPE(*ABAP)

EPIPATH('/usr/sap/DEV/EHPI') SAPEPILIB(SAPEPI) SAPEPISRV(SAPEPISRV) OPTIONS(

JOB(EPI_A_DEV) SYSLIBL(CURRENT) CURLIB(CURRENT) INLLIBL(*CURRENT)

CPYENVVAR(*YES) JOBQ(QSYS/QUSRNOMAX)

Job 014217/DEVOFR/EPI_A_DEV submitted to job queue QUSRNOMAX in library

QSYS.

5) after this tried to connect through http://hostname:4239

Hello vinodvijayankk,

did you check, if the job stays active ? (normally in SBS QUSRWRK or with wrksbmjob *job) ?

If it is active, you should test the followiung as well:

http://<ip>:4239

and

telnet <ip> 4239

What happens there ?

If it should no longer be active, you have to check the joblog and qprint output.

... and yes, for sure: ONLY Java 1.5 is supported (perhaps it would work 1.6 as well, but this doesn't help, when anything doesn't work ...)

Hi Volker/Abhi,

Thanks for your reply

when i checked for wrksbmjob i could find JOB - EPI_A_DEV(11 jobs) with STATUS-OUTQ

When i give http://hostname:4239 --- there is Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

when i give telnet 4239 -

---

Connecting To 4239...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect

failed

I have now updated my java version to java version "1.5.0_04"

I could find in the Enhancement Package Installation guide the command given is

STARTEHPI SID(<SID>) TYPE(*ABAP) EPIPATH('/<installation directory>') OPTIONS('jce_policy_zip=/<path_to_policy_files>/SAPJVM5_crypto.zip' '-srvarg=/RoleService/off')

But in note 1168235 the command is

STARTUP SID(<sid>) TYPE(*ABAP) DVDPATH('/DVD_set/um')

OPTIONS('jce_policy_zip=/usr/sap/<sid>/download/SAPJVM5_crypto#

'-srvarg=/RoleService/off')

Is there any fault between these two commands

Hello vinodvijayankk,

ok, when it is OUTQ, it is dead and therefore doesn't listen on socket - the rest is then clear.

Both of your startoptions are wrong and most likely the reason for the problem ...

(the second one is even a totally wrong command in your case)

I typically do the following:

Logon with sidOFR:

ADDLIBLE SAPEPI

First Start:

STARTEHPI SID(sid) TYPE(*ABAP) EPIPATH('/EHPI') JOBQ(QCTL) OPTIONS('jce_policy_zip=/ehp4/JCE/JCE_90000125.ZIP -srvarg=/RoleService/off ')

Re-Start:

STARTEHPI SID(sid) TYPE(*ABAP) EPIPATH('/EHPI') JOBQ(QCTL) OPTIONS('-srvarg=/RoleService/off')

Check:

wrkactjob sbs(qctl)

/EHPI depends on your installation directory.

But, the main issue in your startup is, that you do use "2 Parameters" in the options parameter. That is in my eyes not supported and needs to be "wrapped" as one parameter as you see above.

If this doesn't help, it might make sense, to have a look into the logs in the OUTQ job for more details ...

I'm not convinced you cannot connect to that port or that something is not blocking it...

when i give telnet 4239 -
 Connecting To 4239...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

The above implies you are trying to connect to host 4239 on port 23, meaning you have incorrectly used the command or there is something in your hostname which is not acceptable.

Please check firstly that the hostname you specified in http://hostname:4239 can be reached by trying to ping it from the command line. Then after establishing it can be reached use the same host in your telnet test. If possible try telnet'ing to port 4239 on the actual host first(sorry, never used i5/OS so not sure if this is possible).

Hi Volker,

Thanks for the inputs

We Loged in with DEVOFR:

ADDLIBLE SAPEPI

We gave the command as STARTEHPI SID(DEV) TYPE(*ABAP) EPIPATH('usr/sap/DEV/EHPI') JOBQ(QCTL) OPTI

ONS('jce_policy_zip=/usr/sap/DEV/SAPJCE.ZIP -srvarg=/RoleService/off')

But after above command we get the message as

Make sure directory usr/sap/DEV/EHPI is the right EHP installer directory.

we had earlier unpacked ehpi folder at path usr/sap/dev and it was done successfully at path usr/sap/dev/ehpi

.
