Hello All,
This is my first article in LinkedIn and want to have your full support and guidance on this article.
During SAP ABAP system installation with SWPM we faced an error as below -
Process call 'C:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\brconnect -u / -c -f chpass -o SAPSR3 -p XXXXXX' exits with error code 5. For details see log file(s) brconnect.log.
Where we were getting this error due to the password which we have used for SAPSR3 schema is contain "@" in between which is not taking as input for the password change sql query and that's why its getting failed.
So to resolve this issue we have manually updated the password with some other combination by running the password change script 'brconnect -u / -c -f chpass -o SAPSR3 -p XXXXXX' from CMD prompt OS level and wanted to skip this step in SWPM.
We have resolved this error after we skipped this phase in SWPM using below process-
Go to the sapinst installation directory log location - "C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\BS2013SR2\ERP607SR2\ORA\INSTALL\STD\ABAP" and search for keydb.xml file. Take backup of the current keydb.xml file and modify the original keydb.xml for this phase "setOraclePasswords" from ERROR to OK and restart the sapinst. See the screenshot below-
Hope this will help you to skip any other phases as well during your installation and migration project activities using SWPM.
