Dear Gurus

We are updating the Kernel to 146 in Solman 7.0 in HP-UX IA64 with Oracle 10.2.0.2.

When we execute the STARTSAP this end with the following message:

Checking SOM Database

ABAP Database is not available via R3trans

Starting SAP-Collector Daemon

Log file: /home/somadm/startdb.log

/usr/sap/SOM/SYS/exe/run/startdb: Terminating with error code 12

DB startup failed

The TRANS.LOG show the following message:

Cannot decrypt password I got from table SAPUSER: rc = 128

2EETW169 no connect possible: "DBMS = ORACLE --- dbs_ora_tnsname = 'SOM'"

Could you please help me?

Hi Luis,

I have a similar problem, not exactly the same.

Looking for notes to solve my problem I find this,

Note 521117 - Problems when decoding database passwords

I think it could be your case.
