Hi,

The SAPOSCOL can be stopped/started through either SAP (through Operating System Monitor or transaction code ST06 -> Operating system Collector -> Start) or Operating System. However, sometimes it may happen when you try to start the SAPOSCOL it gives you the message itu2019s already running. Like in example below.

SIDADM> saposcol -l

***********************************************************************

• This is Saposcol Version COLL XX.XX

• Usage: saposcol -l: Start OS Collector

• saposcol -k: Stop OS Collector

• saposcol -d: OS Collector Dialog Mode

• saposcol -s: OS Collector Status

• The OS Collector (PID XXXXXX) is already running u2026..

************************************************************************

If you try to see the status of SAPOSCOL through command saposcol -s, you will see the status and if you try to grep the process with command ps -ef|grep -i saposcol, it will not show the process.

So, what do we do now?

There is another parameter of SAPOSCOL which is not documented in itu2019s menu list and that is force option (-f).

All you need to do is start SAPOSCOL with command saposcol -f, it will start the process forcefully. Once itu2019s started stop the process through saposcol -k and start it normally through saposcol or with option -l . Now, your SAPOSCOL is running and collecting the OS information for you.

Ravi

Hi Davide,

The saposcol version string can be viewed via transaction "st06" or the command "saposcol -V".

Here is an generalized example of this version string:

"COLL xx.yy zzz - V2.7.1 2008-08-11 HP-UX IA64"

please visit Note:- 918279 for more information

You can also check from within SAP using transaction ST06, and clicking on OS collector.

Hope this helps.

hi ,

Goto se06 and click on operating system collector.

Collector Version: COLL 20.95 700 - V2.7.0 2008-03-12 HP-U

Use saposcol -v from user <sidadm> and use saposcol -help for all the information.

i guess it would be probably 20.95
