J2EE Engine does not start, instance.properties not updated....

[Former Member]

Hello,

yesterday we have solve a problem in the config of instance.properties of our engine. The MaxHeapSize of the dispatcher was to smal for -Xms.

Then the Engine works fine.

Later we must restart the whole system (APAP&JAVA) and i have the same problem in the instance.properties file.

I started the configtool and fix it in the DB and in the instance.properties file.

Now we renamed the instance.properties file and restarted the system. The instance.properties file should wrote from DB like SAP Note 736557. But it dosn't.

But we have several problems too. If i restart only the java instance no jvm_bootstrap.out, dev_bootstrap, jvm_bootstrap.out or std_bootstrap.out, dev_jcontrol will be written.

They write new only when we restart the whole system.

OS: AIX 5.3

SAP: NW 7 ABAP&JAVA

Is someone, who know something about this issue?

here are the trace files from the whole system start...

( please note that the instance.properties file is not correct, but the entries in the DB are )

dev_jcontrol

the problem was in the instance.properties

the parameter needs two zero to find the ID in the DB

bootstrap_ID7913400.Parameters=com.sap.engine.bootstrap.Bootstrap ./bootstrap ID007913400

bootstrap_ID7913450.Parameters=com.sap.engine.bootstrap.Bootstrap ./bootstrap ID007913450
