Trying to upgrade an SCM5.0 APO (+LC) System to SCM7.0 EHP3
Old System:
OpSys: Linux SLES 64bit
Kernel: NW7.0
DB: MaxDB 7.7
LiveCache: LCAPPS2005
Upgrade Target
OpSys: Linux SLEX64bit
Kernel: NW7.3
DB: MaxDB (??)
LiveCache: LC10
Sorry, but I don't know the target stack MaxDB release.
In any case, the stack calculation was done via SolMan MOPz, and the CIM & CR-Delta catalog was updated to the most recent level.
System verifications were run three times over, and everything went w/o a hitch.
But as soon as I try to launch SUM 1.0 SP16 the problems start.
It keeps peskering me for a user ID and password, and no matter what I try it won't take (including <sid>adm login info).
I had to start SUM SP16 as root to make it work with saphostagent(!)
Now I was able to start SUM SP11 as <sid>adm, but that one throws me the error
"You cannot use SUM to update your system from SAP SCM 5.0 to SAP SCM 7.0" as soon as it is done analyzing the stack XML file.
I could not locate the (in)famous SUM SP14 on SWDC.
What am I doing wrong here, and why do my old notes (regarding SCM upgrades) mention something about an "Upgrade Master DVD" (instead of SUM), that I seem unable to locate *anywhere* in the SWDC???
I am in a tight pickle here folks, and yes "this used to work" two years ago with our other APO Systems.
Any help in locating the correct installation media (or in pointing out to me that I am missing something else completely here) is truly appreciated.
Regards
Donald
