Hi Saganya

Please add to host file entry (Start>>Run>>Drivers>>etc>>Host file)..update the IP and Host name for your server here.

Then try again.

Hope it helps

From your dispatcher log I see that it is taking your hostname as 'localhost'. What it is returning when put the command 'hostname'?. Though it is not relevent to the problem it stated in dispatcher log, like to know whether you started the database first?. what is the RC of 'R3trans -d ' command. better give the steps that you are following to start the system.

What is the output of the command 'hostname'?. Comemnt out the 'localhost' entry in /etc/hosts file and make sure that you have an entry for your hostname 'samdrp' with its IP. Then try starting SAP using command 'startsap r3' as 'drpadm' user(here I assume that your database is already up. if not login as 'db2drp' adn start DB2 and activate database 'DRP').

When you use command 'startsap r3' you will have a log created startsap_DVEBMGS00.log in the same directory. check for the errors and post the log here. If sap started successfully the you will see sap processes, use 'ps -ef | grep sap' command to check the same. If SAP is up then you can continue with your installation by starting sapinst again and choose continue with the old installation option.
