SL Controler for SLM doesn't start - jce policy problem

[Former Member]

Dear SAP experts,

We are configuring Solution Lifecycle Manager.

One of the steps is to download, install and run SL Controler as explained in note 1151784.

Hereafter what we do to launch the controler and the error message we get:

cd /usr/sap/S41/SYS/global/sdt/exe

./slmLaunchSDTServer

./slmLaunchSDTServer

Starting SL controller in normal mode.

Using JDK /opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142.

May 6, 2010 8:55:56 AM [Fatal]: Error during controller startup.

May 6, 2010 8:55:56 AM [Fatal]: SL Controller exiting.

The controller fails to start because of a JCE policy problem.

We don't have any idea where to put those files.

We tried to launch the controler with option jce_policy_zip=/path/jce_policy-1_5_0.zip but it doesn't work.

Could anyone help us?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Olivier

The JCE policy file you use is for the SUN JDK, you need the one for the IBM JDK, see

Note 1426759 - Downloading the JCE Policy Files from SUN or IBM

Hello Markus,

We also tried to launch it with the file jce_policy_1_4_2_IBM.zip. This is the error we get in both cases.

./slmLaunchSDTServer jce_policy_zip=jce_policy_1_4_2_IBM.zip

Starting SL controller in normal mode.

Using JDK /opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142.

Check your Java version. There was a change in the IBM JDK that requires a new (or an old) JCE file, see

Note 861215 - Recommended Settings for the Linux on AMD64/EM64T JVM

Markus,

Unfortunately we tried many policy files. Problem is more that we cannot use this parameter jce_policy_zip in the command line.

The question is then...Where should we put the jce policy files?

Thanks.
