Reason and Prerequisites

This problem is caused by a programming error.
Solution

Import SAP liveCache 7.0 LCA build 08 patch level 001 and the relevant liveCache kernel 7.7.06.09.
They are available on SAP Service Marketplace. Navigate to the corresponding platform entry as described in Note 753528, and download the installation file LC770609A7008_1-nnnnnnnn.SAR (nnnnnnnn is a platform-dependent identifier). This file contains the SAP liveCache 7.0 LCA build specified above and it also contains the relevant liveCache kernel.
————————– HP IPF ————————————–
If you use HP IPF, you must read Note 916646 before you perform the installation. Ensure that your liveCache server fulfills the minimum requirements that are mentioned in the note.
———————————————————————–

To install the file, proceed as described in Note 998966 (”Importing liveCache Version…”).
———————————————————————–
After you install the liveCache kernel and the LCA Build, simply restart the liveCache. You do not need to initialize the liveCache. Then execute transaction LCA03 in a liveCache-relevant client. This transaction performs a liveCache check that consists of a configuration check and a function check. If the configuration check detects errors, the program stops after the check and helps you to correct the error. Correct the errors (displayed by red traffic lights) and call the transaction again.
