R/3 ent IDES under Oracle on AIX installing error (starting RFC jobs)

[Former Member]

Hi!

I downloaded R/3 enterprise IDES 4.7 from service.sap.com. I successfull installed the Central Instance. Throught the DB instance install procedure on the same host I confused at the step 34 (Starting RFC Jobs).

The error is:

0063 RFC logon failed with message: Failed: Connect to SAP gateway failed

Connect_PM GWHOST=sap, GWSERV=sapgw01, ASHOST=sap, SYSNR=01

LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host

ERROR connection to partner broken

In other log files i found a some

WARNING DpRqServiceQueue timeout of HIGH PRIO msg return DP_CANT_HANDLE_REQ.

after one the gateway service was stopped...

After restart of the DB the issue still exists.

The host make response at the ping command.

The gateway port is listening (netstat -an|grep 3301).

What is the next my step?

Thanx

P.S. Oracle version is 9.2.0.1....I guess I need to upgrade one to 10.2.04 version

Hi Alexey,

Start your sap system and run the installation again.

Hi Ashok!

The sap was WORK when the error issued. Restart sap (and db) not solve my problem.

No - if the RFC doesn't work then the system is not working.

Your Oracle version is VERY old. If you have read the installation guide attentively, you would have noticed, that you should have installed

- the database version delivered with the installation CD set

- the latest patch for that database

- the latest interim patches for the database

Please check the output of

dev_disp

Gt Markus!

I think I found the root of the error. When I installed the Central Instance I've set the dispather port and the messages port the same (as recommended in setup window...wrong? ). So, is it possible to change one of these ports ?If yes, which a config file do I need to edit?

I remind that setup of DB instance not finished...

The database version which I downloaded from service.sap.com as IDES installation set is 9i...Well, I have to need download 10.2.0.1 DB, companion CD for one, 10.2.0.4 Patchset. And set of interim patches from metalink (In which note they discribed?). Is it right?

Those ports are defined in the instance profiles (check /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEMBGS<NO>/profile. stop the instance, change the port and start it again.

Yes - but this is not a patch installation but a database upgrade (9.2 --> 10.2)

There is no file or directory "profile" under the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEMBGS<NO>/.

Did you mean files under /usr/sap/SID/DVEMBGS../SYS/profile/ ?

However, no lines that relate to port number was found in the profile files.

The conflicting port is 3301.

About DB. The correct roadmap is finish the installation of the DB instance, then upgrade one to 10.2.0.4. Right?

[markus_doehr2]

I'm not sure if the ports are really your problem.

The message server usually runs on 36<systemnumber>, the dispatcher on 32<systemnumber>. Check /etc/services for entries

sapdp<systemnumber>

sapms<SID><systemnumber>

are they identical?

Markus

[Former Member]

As I told, I set the same port for the gateway and for messages.

I edited /etc/services:

sapmsD01 3301/tcp # SAP System Message Port

sapdp01 3201/tcp # SAP System Dispatcher Port

sapdp01s 4701/tcp # SAP System Dispatcher Security Port

sapgw01 3301/tcp # SAP System Gateway Central Instance Port

sapgw01s 4801/tcp # SAP System Gateway Security Port

Now, I edited it again and service sapgw01 move to 3401 (/etc/services). Of course, nothing will be change. I guess I need add the rdisp/<something about sapgw> to profiles, isn't?

[markus_doehr2]

Try to change

sapmsD01 3601/tcp

Stop the instance and try to start it.

Markus

[Former Member]

Something changed...MArkus, could u explain in two words, why exactly 3601?

The SAP looking /etc/services and start services according the file?

[markus_doehr2]

Those are predefined - check

Well, restart was done. But continued installation DB stopped again, The error is

FRF-00063 RFC logon failed with message: Failed: Connect to SAP gateway failed

Connect_PM GWHOST=sap, GWSERV=sapgw01, ASHOST=sap, SYSNR=01

LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host

ERROR partner not reached (host sap, service 3301)

[Former Member]

Ok....thanx for URL...I think well be better to begin again entire installation....

The last question:

- Can i install the DB instance on ORADB 10.2.0.4 version directly, without upgrade process?

[markus_doehr2]

The problem you have now is that "sap" as hostname is not supported (read the installation guides!)

Yes - you can do that - you need an installation CD set with an updated kernel for this purpose. The problem you have is, however, not database related.

"The problem you have is, however, not database related."

I know, I just like to minimize install time.

Thank u for help!

[markus_doehr2]

You're welcome

To install with 10g check Note "969519 - 6.20/6.40 Patch Collection Installation : Oracle/UNIX"
