Not able to start Instance in MMC

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have installed SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 SR5 - Developer Edition which is a trial version on a windows xp pro virtual machine. I have installed NWDS 7.1 Composition Environment SP05 successfully.

I have installed Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 SDK.

The problem is that the two instances in MMC appears to be grey instead of green. That is why I am not able to deploy any web dynpro application. Does any body know that what steps I need to take after installing the developer edition? What about the SDM?

Earlier http://localhost:50000/ was displaying a web dynpro exception just after completion of installation of developer edition but now I am getting page cannot be displayed error.

Please help / guide. I need this envirnoment to be set up soon for practicing web dynpro.

Regards,

Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

You need to start server from MMC. Before starting please check following thing are correct or not.

- Update your server IP address and host name in host file entry at (Start > RUN > drivers > etc > host file)

- Update JAVA_HOME system enviromental variable in my computer (My computer > Priperties >> Advance >> Startup and Recovery >> Enviromental Variable >> System Variables >> Add new JAVA_HOME parameter with path for installed Java JDK)

- Check database server services (Start > Run > Services.msc > Start your database services manually and change properties as automatic)

After that please try to start your SAP Server :- open MMC >> Right Click on Server Node >> Select All Task >> Start >> Enter your Desktop userid and password. It will take 20-40 min if you are starting first time.

Please check installation Guide : [Install & Configure SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 ehp1 |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b057d7e3-b89e-2b10-1e9e-c426e967f8e1]

Hope it helps
