SAP-Gateway on host: Internal error NiIRead: hdl 43 buffer too small

[mark_altmann]

Hi forum, I hope this is the right place to ask about network-related issues. If not, please move this thread to the correct location.

Thank you.

We run SAP NetWeaver 2004s on AIX, patchlevel 201 and Oracle-DB 10.2.0.2.0; for a list of installed componets, please see bottom of this post.

The system is running fine, however we seem to have some network-related issues. When we try to move archive-files to a remote file-system (we use ArchiveLink), there are errors and the process stops.

The errors are of type: Connection to http://HLSAW150:8083/archivelink/ContentServer.htm : TCP/IP error. The errors imply that there are network issues, and checking the logs from gateway monitor bring up following errors:

• * *

LOCATION SAP-Gateway on host sapitx / sapgw04 * ERROR internal error * (this retcode should be handled by caller of NI-layer) * * TIME Mon Mar 8 13:01:16 2010 * RELEASE 700 * COMPONENT NI (network interface) * VERSION 38 * RC -7 * MODULE nixxi.cpp * LINE 4281 * DETAIL NiIRead: hdl 45 buffer too small (905<1583146490) * COUNTER 17414 *

I have checked service marketplace and SDN, but to no avail. Can you please help me analyzing this issue?

Thank you in advance & kind regards,

Mark

Based on the above I would check your User Limits - "Note 323816 - User limits on AIX" ...for starters. Are they set correct ? Sometimes the errors resulting from insufficient ulimits may not be directly related to the issue and simply be a side effect, if that makes any sense...
