JSPM error on iSeries - "Could not detect operating system"

[Former Member]

Hi there,

We have installed SAP PI 7.1 on an iSeries 6.1 server and we are now getting an error with the JSPM.

It seems the codepage is wrong and it is causing certain characters in

the running scripts to change and thereby making the scripts fail.

We presume that because of the CCSID code some SAP applications

are not able to determine the OS types and this is causing the scripts

to fail.We determine this from the error message in the log:

The execution ended in error.

Cannot initialize application data.

Could not detect operating system.

Cannot determine OS version from command uname.

Here is the log:

Does anyone have any idea how this can be solved? I have already written a customer message to SAP but am still waiting for feedback. I have also followed a good handful of SAP notes but no luck yet.....

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there,

JSPM is working again......

If the user receives the error: "Cannot determine OS version from

command uname" the problem is because they are using the wrong "shell"

when running the GO script.

The installation guide for SAP PI 7.1 on iSeries is also a little

confusing. There is alot of reference to "QShell" and even a section

on "Installing the QShell" so most people (like us) would assume we

should use "QShell" to run the GO script.

BUT what we should actually be using is "Qp2Term" instead of "QShell"

to run the GO script. This solves the problem and lets the JSPM run

happily.
