• Message number: 036

• Message text: Release vector was already set in the receiver client, but is different

What causes this issue?

The system detected that the release vector - necessary for the XPRA
execution - was already set in the receiver client. There are, however,
differences between the old and the new vector.
This means that the CMIS upgrade assumes that this receiver client was
already treated by a CMIS upgrade with a different release vector. This
is not allowed.

System Response

The CMIS upgrade is stopped.

How to fix this error?

Check if the function was executed previously in the receiver client,
but with a different package.
Also check if the receiver client is correct.
If the problem persists, contact SAP for support.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_CMIS_U_20036 - Release vector was already set in the receiver client, but is different ?

  The SAP error message CNV_CMIS_U_20036 typically occurs during the data migration process, particularly when using the SAP Conversion and Migration Information System (CMIS). This error indicates that the release vector (which contains information about the version and release of the software) has already been set in the receiver client, but it differs from what is being attempted to set during the migration process.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Release Vector: The release vector in the target client (receiver client) is already defined and does not match the one being used in the migration process. This can happen if the target client has been set up with a different version or if there have been changes in the system landscape.
  Multiple Migrations: If multiple migration processes are being executed on the same client, it can lead to conflicts in the release vector settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the migration might not align with the current state of the target client.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Release Vector: Verify the release vector in the target client. You can do this by checking the system settings or using transaction codes like SICF or SPAM to view the current release vector.
  Align Release Vectors: Ensure that the release vector being used in the migration process matches the one already set in the target client. If necessary, adjust the migration settings to align with the existing release vector.
  Reset Migration Process: If the migration process has been interrupted or is in an inconsistent state, consider resetting it and starting over after ensuring that all configurations are correct.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific migration process you are using. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific context of your system and migration process.
