During the PREP_EXTENSION/SUBMOD_EXTENSION_NEW/EHP_INCLUSION phase, SAPEHPI attempts to create data and cofiles for the EHP components. We ran into the following error:
Disassembling patch queue failed rc = 3, reason = 'Error when creating cofile for transport request SAPK-700IHINWEBCUIF
A few of the usual causes for this are:
- OS Permissions
- Package corruption (no longer in BIN format, etc)
- Low disk space in the Transport Directory or EHPI Directory
Typically OS Permissions are the culprit when you run into an error creating the data and/or cofiles for a transport, and that was also the case here. However, you will need to note that there are multiple places to check the permissions. Not only do you have to make sure that your [SID]ADM user has full rights to the Transport Directory (usually usr/sap/trans on the transport host), but for the purposes of EHPI on Windows, the SYSTEM user must have full rights to the EHPI directory (the directory where you are running the EHPI from).
Apparently on site here, someone had altered the default permissions for the entire drive that EHPI was sitting on, and thus SYSTEM was unable to make changes.
After opening up the security settings for another drive and changing the EHPI drive to match, the process continued on without a hitch.
hope this helps...
