Dispatcher stopped after upgrade kernel

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have a problem with the dispatcher is stopped and I restar the services and I checked the logs (defaultrade, dev_server0, etc) and the date of these files is not updated for example the date this November 6 and today it restarts (Nov. 11) but the date continued (Noviembre 6).

This problem occurred after to update theKernel of 111 to 133, then I go back to the original version (111) but the problem continues

Any suggestion to solve this problem??

Thanks a lot

I have in my server installed 3 instances to SAP, but in the instance to BW, the dispatcher is stopped, don't work.

My server is windows 2003 and the kernel is 133.

I changed to 159 but after to upgrade the dispatcher don't work, I returned to 133 but the dispatcher is gray color.

Can you any suggestion to solve this problem?

Regards,

Ale

look for jvm_dispatcher.out and std_dispatcher.out. What does it show.

Usually it is due to DB connection.

In order to check DB connection. Open the configtool. If it opens successfully then DB connection for JAVA stack is ok.

Hi Vikash,

Thank you very much for your prompt response,

I reviewed the logs that suggests to me, but in the jvm_dispatcher.out I do not have any data on the std_dispatcher.out the following erroros:

Hi,

Manually check whether all files in the kernel are having the latest kernel of 133

I had the same issue in the past and found that some files did not get copied properly. after i recopied the failed files, the Server was up and running

[Former Member]

Hi, can you say how you upgrade your server? if you have JAVA or ABAP+JAVA stacks you can update kernel using JSPM. Can you say step by step what you do?

[Former Member]

Thanks Sergo, Sanul

I have java + abap in this instance.

these are the steps that I did to upgrade the kernel:

1.- download the files kernel 133 ( part I and part II )

2.- stop all services sap

3.- I made a backup of kernel111

4.- unzip of files SAPCAR_NEW -xvf archive

5.- this files I copied in the folder kernel111

6.- start all services sap

This process I made in other system and it's running normality

How do you upgrade the kernel through JSMP??

Is the same The process in windows and hp-unix?

Regards

[Former Member]

Sorry

In this time I'm reviewing the links that You send me in the previuos message

thanks a lot

4.- unzip of files SAPCAR_NEW -xvf archive
5.- this files I copied in the folder kernel111

You need to copy the files into the kernel directory not in the kernel111 directory.

Thanks, Juan

Yes, I replaced the new files of kernel133 in the folder kernel111, then I got this problem with the dispatche and I back to kernel111

I don´t know What do I review in this system?

Thanks

stop DB and R/3 including saposcol.

Take backup of current kernel directory-:

check whether you have sufficient free space under /sapmnt/<SID>

login <SID>adm

1) cd /sapmnt/<SID>

2) cp -Rp <SID> <SID>_backup

3) Download latest kernel from service market place put it in directory latest_kernel

create a directory

mkdir /sapmnt/<SID>/latest_kernel

download and then copy your new kernel SAPEXE_, SAPDB_ and java releted to above directory.

cd /sapmnt/<SID>/latest_kernel

chmod 777 *

4) Upgrade the kernel using following commands

cd /sapmnt/<SID>/latest_kernel

execute following command

/sapmnt/<SID>/<SID>_backup/SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXE_* -R /sapmnt/EQA/exe

/sapmnt/<SID>/<SID>_backup/SAPCAR -xvf SAPDB_* -R /sapmnt/EQA/exe

follow same command for Java kernel.

5) go to /sapmnt/<SID>/exe

execute ./saproot.sh

start database and check

R3trans -d

if the output is 0000 then start SAP

check your database is up or not,

then try (R3trans -d) and then check the trans.logs file

which OS/Database you are using?

cheers,
