SAP SUM stuck in MAIN_NEWBAS/XPRAS_AIMMRG
Another day another play….. at this moment i’m making an update to SAP ERP 6.0 SPS 22 but during downtime in step 5.6 (execution) phase MAIN_NEWBAS/XPRAS_AIMMRG receive a series of errors that in no way to proceed with SUM, the errors are type:
XPRA ERRORS and RETURN CODE in SAPR702XPRA90000008.DG1

As always, the times are short and after defeat another problems during weekend and are very close to goal this can’t be happen, I’m scrub, i think!
Search in forums, Google, sap notes and nothing, ok, i’m really scrub, next and paining step, send message to SAP support, during the process for create a new message SAP first “ask you” if you have revised notes and playing with SAP Knowledge Base i found the note 1664235 (Investigating errors in XPRAS phase) and after read and follow the “resolution”, new errors are displayed, now and are a lot of dumps, all with common error:
The following syntax error occurred in program
"CL_SHM_AREA===================CP " in include
"CL_SHM_AREA===================CM00V " in
line 1:
"The kernel module "AB_SHMKMPROPAGATEAREA" is not registered for the im"
"plementation of method "_PROPAGATE_AREA" of class "CL_SHM_AREA"."
OK, let’s find a solution…… ok there is neither in Google or SAP notes but the word “kernel” shines for me, let’s make a try, KERNEL DOWNGRADE!!!!
My instance have the last version in branch 7.x (7.38), i downloaded the kernel 7.20 (i consider it more stable than others), decompress, copy and “startsap r3” ….
Instance on host dg1 started, test a SAPlogon connection, all ok
Click in button next on SUM…. after a few minutes, SUM
continues its.
Now i’m making the last backup and after finish this post i will try to sleep a little.
