Hi all
while do fresh install on last step of execute i having trouble ( see attach )
does anyone facing like this before ....... Please advice
i have do compare .dbenv n .sapenv all is same as per suggest in 1875902 - R3load -testconnect fails during system export
Hello, colleges.
We try to update SAP JAVA system components by JSPM. The system has two application servers. Servers run under AIX 6.1
We run JSPM on primary instance. During update JSPM stops due to failing of executing by sapcontrol function OSExecute on seconadry instance from primary instance.
The error is Invalid Credentials.
I checked on OS Level with following command:
sapcontrol -nr 00 -host <secondary host> -user <SID>adm password -function OSExecute "ls" 0 0 log.log
Yes, indeed - It is failed with invalid credentials.
I have checked the SAP Note 927637. All is ok.
After long time troubleshooting i discovered that a system log - /var/sys/log/messages contains the following strings:
auth|security:debug sapuxuserchk PAM: pam_authenticate: error Authentication failed
auth|security:debug sapuxuserchk PAM: pam_authenticate: error Permission denied
I have added sapuxuserchk in /etc/pam.conf and the first error - Authentification failed - has gone from the system log. But the second error still exist there.
Please explain me what does the error "Permission denied" mean. How can find out what permissions are not sufficient for sapuxuserchk?
But may be I get the wrong way?
Thank you very much.
In this section we will provide over time a set of papers and documentation helping to run SAP products on AIX. The focus will be on the one side recommendations specific to the AIX and on the other side the description of procedures involving multiple components like the whitepaper for single sign on.
A new IBM SAP Technical Brief from IBM is available. This document provides a collection of recommendations and best practices for implementing and running SAP landscapes on IBM Power Systems. The focus of this paper is on the PowerVM related system configuration aspects.
SAP maintains its own internal monitoring facility for customers and the SAP support organization. In order to address system wide monitoring from within SAP systems IBM react on this customer requirement and provides now an installp package to be installed on a VIOS Server. The installation enables SAP customers to report VIOS performance metrics into selected SAP systems. This closes the gap in landscape monitoring for SAP environments.
The system landscape of companies grows rapidly. At the same time, the number of users increases as in heterogeneous system landscapes one employee often uses several user IDs for different systems. This leads to high maintenance and support effort as well as higher total cost of ownership and security risks. A possible solution to this situation could be Single Sign On (SSO). The name already tells all about SSO: the user has to sign on only once. This means he must remember only one user name and one password. This paper describes the setup of SSO for SAP® NetWeaverTM Application Server based on the KerberosTM protocol. It makes use of the common combination of Windows® workstations grouped in a Microsoft® Active DirectoryTM domain and SAP on Linux® and AIX® running on IBM® PowerTM Systems.
Companies running SAP® applications always dealing with OS hardening as requested by SAP. The intention of this document is to give a brief overview of the existing SAP security guidelines and an introduction to an AIX security tool called AIX Security Expert in the version of AIX6.1 TL1. Thereafter, a summary is provided how to use AIX Security Expert, its benefits and what has to be taken into account for AIX systems running SAP applications. This Version of the document is using AIX Security Expert in the highest level to test the maximum impact of this tool on SAP systems. Applying the described changed to AIX security expert will allow the installation and the operation of the described test scenario. To apply this to productive environments will require to reflect further aspects which can be easily added by using the WebSM of AIX Security Expert.

Hi,
I am looking for older SWPM which has SWPM for my ECC version.
Currently I have ECC 6.0 NO Ehp installed and NW 7.0 ECC 6.0 is AS ABAP
the oracle DB is running on AIX.
I want to perform OS/DB migration but before that I want to obtain the SWPM.
The current version of SWPM i have is this.
SWPM10SP07_7-20009697.SAR
But the above version doesnt have my ECC specific .. tks
Hi,

Hi
We are in the middle of building new SAP landscape for fail over environment.
One of the application server would be in DMZ zone and other application server would be in Internal zone. We tried but we
are not able to make NFS for /sapmnt/SID work in DMZ zone.
Someone suggested us to copy the /samnt/SID in both Internal and DMZ zone. It mean, whenever
we have to make any changes in profiles or upgrade kernel or upgrade Patches, we need to make the
changes in both DMZ and Internal zone or to copy the /sapmnt/SID manually in both zone.
Not sure if this is the right approach to copy /sapmnt/SID in internal and DMZ zone?
Any suggestion would be much appropriated.
Thanks

I recently learned that SAP central service handling of TSA may work a bit differently than the classic way.
There is a documentation which describes it in a little bit more detailed way: SAP Start Service - Architecture of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server - SAP Library
TSA does it on another way. In this case processes are started directly by *sapctrl*. This way sapstart process is not available in process list.
sapstart writes sapstart.log in /usr/sap/<SID>/(A)SCS/work folder. This is then evaluated by sapcontrol Webmethod calls, among others by GetProcessList or GetSystemInstanceList ones. Whatever process ID (PID) is found in sapstart.log it will be used for determining the status of process. Even if the process is running, just because it has been started by TSA earlier, but the PID does not match the one is sapstart.log sapcontrol will give GRAY status - in some cases it could be RED as well. SAP Management Console uses the same methods for displaying process status.This could result in
Status:
> sapcontrol -nr 1 -function GetProcessList
28.10.2015 10:44:43
GetProcessList
OK
name, description, dispstatus, textstatus, starttime, elapsedtime, pid
msg_server, MessageServer, GRAY, Stopped, , , 1280
enserver, EnqueueServer, GRAY, Stopped, , , 1280
PIDs:
> ps -ef | grep ms.sap | grep -v grep
sidadm 12802 12787 0 Oct06 ? 00:02:07 ms.sapSID_ASCS01 pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/SID_ASCS01_hostname

sidadm 12803 12787 0 Oct06 ? 00:06:06 en.sapSID_ASCS01 pf=/usr/sap/NWC/SYS/profile/SID_ASCS01_hostname
sap vendor cluster connector shuld be able to handle this. Check this document: Connecting sapstartsrv and cluster frameworks using the components saphascriptco.so and sap_vendor_cluster_connector
There is a workaround available. This is a script wich writes the active process IDs of message server and enqueue server in sapstart.log. This way Webmethods will give the correct status back.
It is attached to SAP Note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1492606 S-User login required.

On this page we will provide the latest information about maintenance topics related to SAP on AIX. Please visit this site regularly or even better click the "Receive email notification" action on the right to get notified about updates.
The Power8 hardware encryption support is used by SAP CommonCryptoLib from version 8.4.44. Due to a programming error data sent over a TLS connection may get corrupted. The programming error is fixed in SAP CommonCryptoLib version 8.4.45 and higher. Refer to SAP note 2241096 for details.
Certain levels of AIX 6.1 and 7.1 are affected by a bug that causes unneccesray paging. Refer to SAP notes 1541935 "Using SAP systems with AIX 7.1" and 1137862 "Using SAP systems with AIX 6.1" to obtain the fix.
As of last week the new stack kernels 7.21 and 7.21 EXT with patch level 300 are available on the SAP service marketplace (service.sap.com). Please note that starting with PL 300 the 7.21 EXT kernel requires at least the C/C++ Runtime version 12.1.0.3. Refer to SAP note 1780629 "AIX: Minimal OS Requirements for SAP Kernel" for details.
Although new AIX techlevels do not require certification from SAP, the development team has perfomed tests to ensure that the new TLs run OK with SAP Netweaver based applications. Refer to SAP notes 1541935 "Using SAP systems with AIX 7.1" and 1137862 "Using SAP systems with AIX 6.1" for more details.
SAP note 1972803 "SAP on AIX: Recommendations" contains a summary of relevant topics for running SAP systems on AIX.
A process hang condition has been observed when importing data with R3load. See SAP note 1976256 for fix availability.
Service Pack SP1 of AIX Technology Levels (TLs) AIX 6.1 TL8 and AIX 7.1 TL2 are causing startup problems with SAP Kernel 7.40 and higher. The issue is fixed with SP2 of the respective TL. See SAP note 1931675 "IP multicast configuration for dispatcher wakeup mechanism" for further details.
Find out about the minimum requirements for the AIX releases and C/C++ runtime environment to operate the 7.41 SAP kernel. More details can be found in SAP note 1780629 "AIX: Minimal OS Requirements for SAP Kernel".
Operating System used: SUN OS
database : Oracle
CI and DB are on different servers.

Hi All,
In our landscape we want to step-up HA systems, Before switching the application I want to develop
a script which checks the application status for this I want to know which parameters need to be consider.
(I have tried with R3trans -x, ps -ef |grep dw | wc -l) but I want to know the any other which would be
more helpful for check.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
does anybody know about SAP and AIX 7.2 ?
I cannot find any information about NETWEAVER and/or DB2, neither in SAP PAM nor in Google.
We run on NETWEAVER 7.4 and DB2 10.5 and have to build new systems for UNICODE migration the next weeks.

Hi Gurus,
i searched at SCN for solution but no of them works for me.
I installed a new Diagnostics Agent for our J2EE. The J2EE works fine.
But the SMDA does not start. We tried to start without vhost name, with vhost name and with instance. But nothing works.
The log file gives no hints.
I checked the permissions for all logs in /tmp also work dir.
I checked ulimit and hosts. But all is fine.
Has someone a suggestion, anymore?
