DB13 scheduling problem

Former Member

Hi,

We are unable to schedule the jobs in DB13 with the error SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE failed for BRCONNECT - Reason: program_start_error:

We have a cluster setup where DB is running on one node and the application server on the other node.

Now as per the snote: 446712 we need to have eithe RSH or any other tool.

Is this RSH comes by default in windows 2003 or do we need install it seperately ? Please advise on other alternative ways

to this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

DVRK

Hi DVRK,

The alternative to using RSH or SSH would be to install a standalone gateway on your DB instance.

After installing gateway, just change the rfc connection SAPXPG_DBDEST_<hostname> to include the gateway parameters.

Try scheduling the DB13 jobs.

You should be successful.

Hi,

We have decided to install the Gateway onto the DB instance.

Can any share us the experiences of the consequences of installing the Gateway onto the DB instance.

Since this is our PRD server we need to evaluate the consequences of installing.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi DVRK,

There are no issues as such installing a gateway instance on the Database Instance. Two things which you might need to take care are

1. Include the gateway start command in the os user profile or startsap script so that if you restart the DB instance, the gateway instance starts automatically.

2. If the DB instance is on cluster, then include the gateway service and mount points to switchover using the cluster software.

Apart from these two, i do not see any issues as such.

Cheeers...,

Hi ,

check the RFC SAPXPG_DBDEST_<SERVER HOSTNAME> is running succesfully or not.

Test the RFC connection , it should give you error.

Pls check the error also paste the error in the forum.

Please check that you have the entry of the /etc/hosts updated in both the DB and CI of the drivers directory in the windows.

Thanks
