Hi all,

Recently we are getting more than 30 dumps every day related to time mismatching between application server and database. Please note that this is happening after our Solman migrated to new server. After migration we changed the system time and restarted database and SAP application.

But problem still existing..Some of Techies suggested to upgrade kernel but i dont think that will work. Because our old server kernel and new server kernel are same and new server having the exact data from old server.

Please find the dump log here and suggest.

Short text

The local time of the application server is not correct.

What happened?

Error in the SAP kernel.

The current ABAP "SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION" program had to be terminated because t

ABAP processor detected an internal system error.

What can you do?

Note which actions and input led to the error.

For further help in handling the problem, contact your SAP administrator

.

You can use the ABAP dump analysis transaction ST22 to view and manage

termination messages, in particular for long term reference.

Error analysis

The ABAP interpreter always determines the local time relative to the

database time. To do so, it obtains both the time of the application

server and that of the database at regular intervals. The times must

meet specific plausibility criteria - for example, the time of the time

stamp obtained second cannot be earlier than that of the time stamp

obtained first.

In this case, the plausibility criteria for the local time of the

application server were not met.

Earlier time stamp: "Thu Mar 05 12:06:08 2009#"

Later time stamp: "Thu Mar 05 12:04:50 2009#"

How to correct the error

It is possible that the time of the application server was set forward

or back in the running system.

Ensure that the times and time zones of the application server and

database server match and restart the system.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

It seems time of Db server is not in sync with Application server. These type of dumps mostly occure after DST.But here it seems time of application server was changed during operation.

Please check below SAP notes.

Note 447839 - ZDATE_ILLEGAL_LOCTIME

Note 481835 - Analyzing the time zone settings

In your dump it says "Ensure that the times and time zones of the application server and

database server match and restart the system".

Please adjut time of application server same as DB server & take a restart. It should fix this issue.

Thanks,
