error while starting saposcol - Segmentation fault

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We are facing issues while starting saposcol on one of the application servers of our central prod system.

The exe directory is NFS mounted from DB server on all the application servers and saposcol runs fine on them. Hence there is no issue with the file permissions, sticky bit etc.

Initially we thought it was a memory release issue. But the problem persists even after system restart.

We have tried starting it via sidadm user and root. but the error remains. We are getting following error during starting it.

16:31:40 15.03.2010 LOG: Effective User Id is root

Segmentation fault(coredump)

file permission:

-rwsr-x--- 1 root sapsys 2558385 Jun 07 2009 saposcol

Please help!!

Thanks,

Try to use the latest saposcol version. We have had similar issues on system with a lot of disks attached.

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for the response. But the same saposcol executable is used to start saposcol on all other application servers. The sapexe filesystem is centrally mounted and is shared by all the application servers. Hence if it was a problem with saposcol executable, it should have given issue for all application servers.

Regards,

Anup..

Dear Anup

I am not sure why, but it really happens ...i.e one executable is working in one system but not in some other system.

Please use latest SAPOSCOL and check if you are still getting the same problem

HI Anup,

I Hope you are starting saposcol properly..If you are still facing issue please grant more permission for saposcol executable. Atleast execute permission for everyuse. How about verifying permission with different host where its runnign perfectly.

> saposcol -h

Hi,

Please give the saposcol permissions as specified below.

chown root:system saposcol

chmod 4775 saposcol

Make sure you have enough space in /tmp direcotry. Please mark it as read if it solves your problem or please paste the error message here.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try running ./saproot.sh from root user. It will set standard permissions of brtools and saposcol.
