stopped Configuration Adapter service, so can't access Visual Administrator

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Unknowingly, I have stopped the service "Configuration Adapter" (Cluster --> Server --> Services --> Configuration Adapter) after which I am unable to access Visual Administrator. I tried to look in the configuration editor of the offline config tool but don't know where to look.

Can any one help me in starting Configuration Adapter service....

Thanks

Naveen.

Amit,

visual admin immediately stopped working after stopping the "Configuration Adapter" service and I think if that service is started, visual admin will definitely be accessed.

If I try to log in into VisualAdmin, it says 'error while connecting'....

So, can you tell me how to start that service..

Thanks

Naveen.

OK...

This is what you can do - Note: be cautious doing this.

The J2EE Engine Console Administrator is an alternative to the Visual Administrator.

Unlike the Visual Administrator, it is not a GUI and the runtime control and administration is done using specific commands in the shell language.

The J2EE Engine Shell Console Administrator can be accessed and used only through Telnet.

Check this [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/fa/40a2ab95dc08429e60bd467df91943/frameset.htm] for more information...

Steps to do Telnet.

1. From your MMC open J2EE Engine Console session.

-- Open SAP MMC.

-- Choose the J2EE system on which you want to start Telnet.

-- Browse to the J2EE Process Table node.

-- From the right-hand pane, select the dispatcher and from the context menu(right click) choose J2EE Telnet.

-- The J2EE Engine Telnet Administration Console is open.

-- Enter a valid login info (including user name and password)

Once you are through....

Cause I have never done this - you be specific while giving command

Follow these commands as specified in ADMIN to start the Service.

Since the syntax to start the service is ...

STARTSERVICE [ClusterID] <serviceName>

You should be sure about exact ClusterID and servicename

ClusterID - as SAP says you can specify 0(zero) to start up in whole cluster... but before that ... get your cluster ID by using command....

LSC [-state] - this Lists all active cluster machines.

I think you may use 0 in your case...

servicename - Even though you know the service name, just try to get this list and mention the correct one while starting by using....

LSS [-d] [ClusterID] - List of services.

Find out correct name as Configuration Adapter or anything else

I believe in this way you will get both the information.

specify both of these in STARTSERVICE Command and Done... then EXIT.

Ofcourse you can type MAN to get help on any command at any time.....

After this I think you should be able to login Visual Administrator...

All the Best.... Let me know once you are DONE
