saproot.sh script not running

[Former Member]

Hi All

1)I upgraded kernel 700 to patch 185.its solaris machine.and then i tried to run saproot.sh script,but it is saying like

1. ./saproot.sh SID

./saproot.sh: whoami: not found

./saproot.sh: test: argument expected

i gave full permission to saproot.sh and saposcol

2)I run a command 'cleanipc 00 remove' from then it is giving dump 'PXA_NO_SHARED_MEMORY'

i increased buffersize also but of no use.

when i go to st06 it is giving err 'SAPOSCOL not running?(shared memory not available)'

manually itried to run saposcol but it is saying no shared memory.

appreciate the responses.

Thank you

There are two problems with that script delivered by SAP default:

- whoami is in /usr/ucb which should not be in the path (it contains old SunOS 4.x tools)

- "argument expected" means, that the shell (as root usually /bin/sh) does syntactically not understand the script.

You can simply do

ksh ./saproot.sh <SID>

or

bash ./saproot.sh <SID>

The "whoami" error still coming can be ignored since it just checks if you're logged on as root (which you are).

Hi Markus

i run the script and i am getting this

1. ksh ./saproot.sh CR1

./saproot.sh[122]: whoami: not found

./saproot.sh[122]: test: argument expected

Preparing saposcol ...

Preparing icmbnd ...

done

and when i go to st06 it is saying that 'SAPOSCOL not running?shared memory not available'

Yes - that is expected.

The script saproot.sh does the following:

- it checks the user ID (it tries to use whoami)

- it checks if saposcol is running

- if saposcol is running it stops it

- it does a "chown root saposcol icmbnd" (if you use oracle it will also change owners of some br*tools)

- it does a "chmod 4755 saposcol icmbnd" (it sets the sticky bit so that the effective user is root)

It does not start saposcol. This is done by "startsap" (when you start the system). You can now do simply

saposcol -l

wait a few seconds and then start ST06 again.

i tried to start saposcol

BGLR-CRM01:cr1adm> saposcol -l

-l

open logfile '/usr/sap/tmp/dev_coll.tmp' failed... use stderri

22:55:52 15.05.2009 ERROR: cannot open log file /usr/sap/tmp/dev_coll.tmp

IR_PERF

22:55:52 15.05.2009 ERROR: in profile and run saposcol pf=<profile>

it is giving this and i go to st06 --> goto --> operating system collector --> start.

but it is giving same error 'SAPOSCOL not running?shared memory not available'

What is the output of

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/exe
ls -l saposcol

It seems, that the script did not change permissions correctly...

Hi Markus

these are the permissions saposcol have

-rwsr-xr-x 1 cr1adm sapsys 2083576 Nov 19 01:26 saposcol

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

Try the following as user root:

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/exe
chown root saposcol icmbnd
chmod 4755 saposcol icmbnd

then switch to <sid>adm and execute

saposcol -l

again.

here is the reply

BGLR-CRM01:cr1adm> saposcol -l

-l

Looks good now! And now you should be able to see the data in ST06.

Hi,

You need to run the script

./saproot.sh <SAPSID>

In place of <SAPSID> put your system ID name (consist of 3 characters).

Santhosh,

Did you follow whats Note 420417 says?

Hi Debasis

i gone through the note but i am not so clear about that

can you explain me in detail.

i edited saproot.sh but i didn't find 'if [ `whoami` != root ];then'

[Former Member]

Santosh, did you try setting up the PATH environment variable as per the note?

[Former Member]

Hi Manoj

I tried alternative solution provided in the note

' edit the saproot.sh script; replacing the line

if [ `whoami` != root ];then

with the following:

if [ `/usr/xpg4/bin/id -un` != root ];then '

i tried this but i didn't get " if [ `whoami` != root ];then " in saproot.sh

[debasissahoo]

Hi Santosh,

Try the first solution, and let us know whats the output.

e.g if using bourne shell,

#bsh

#PATH=/usr/ucb:$PATH

#./saproot.sh <SID>

Regards,

Debasis.

Hi Debasis

PATH=/usr/ucb:$PATH

./saproot.sh <SID>

[Former Member]

Hello Santosh

Follow the steps below:

Logon as user root

cd /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run

./saproot.sh <SAPSID>

This should help
