NW 7.0 ehp1 Sp1 problem on linux

[former_member184628]

Hi All,

I have installed NW 7.0 with EHP 1 SP1 on Linux and database is SAPDB.

Before installation i have set the OS level parameter and have created the users accordingly.

Now the installation is successful and the i can login into the new SAP AS server.

There are two problems:

1. The SAP AS server is running since its installation and when i try to stop the AS server by login as SIDADM, it shows command not found(Command is stopsap or sapstop both).

2. I started sgen in the the same system and after 23 % completion the system has hanged and it is not loggin in. Looks like the log area is full and as i cannot see the SAPDB manager on Linux there is not work around available and the command DBMCLI is also not working from any SAP os user.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Regards,

Sharib

Hi,

1. The SAP AS server is running since its installation and when i try to stop the AS server by login as SIDADM, it shows command not found(Command is stopsap or sapstop both).

You can check if path /sapmnt/<SID>/exe is included in your PATH variable of <SID>adm user.

You can check with "#echo $PATH" command as <SID>adm user.

OR step in to /sapmnt/<SID>/exe directory to execute "startsap" and "stopsap" command.

2. I started sgen in the the same system and after 23 % completion the system has hanged and it is not loggin in. Looks like the log area is full and as i cannot see the SAPDB manager on Linux there is not work around available and the command DBMCLI is also not working from any SAP os user.

Not sure about SAPDB, but in Oracle SGEN generates archive log and /oracle/<SID>/oraarch directory gets filled up. so check the similar thing in SAPDB.

Main problem is your login profile.

You can also do one thing. Copy all profiles from <sid>adm user to /etc/profile.d directory. so that all logged in users will have those environment settings.

Remember all login profiles are hidden so copy it using below command.

1. su - <SID>adm

2. cp -a .* /etc/profile.d

Nope, you can only clear the logs by doing a logs backup... you need either DB Manager or dbmcli commands.

Hi,

@Rajesh,

When i login as SIDadm or as sqdSID, i cant see any path setting that is relevant to SAP.

Neither path to any of the SAP directories.

I have worked on Solaris before and all the PATH env variables were set accordingly during SAP installation.

So can u tell me the PATH to be set for SIDADM and SQDSID users?

Sharib,

It is difficult to tell all the parameter, best option is to check with any of other system in your landscape and then copy same profile file to this server.

Here you need to modify all related variables accordingly.

Hi,

Can you post the output of "# echo $PATH" as <SID>adm user ?

it should contain "/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run" path in $PATH variable...

Hello All,

Problem resolved.

To start and stop SAP login as SIDadm.

$su - SIDadm

$. .profile

sidadm>startsap ALL

or

sidadm>stopsap ALL

Thanks for helping....

su - <SID>adm
cp -a .* /etc/profile.d

Thats what I was suggested in my previous post... (Notice cp -a <dot>* )

Above method will copy ".profile" in "/etc/profile.d". Please note, profiles in "/etc/profile.d" is executed for every user and each login.

So you won't need to use "$. .profile" command every time when you need to start or stop sap.

1. Enviromental variables are missing... check that the paths are correct.

2. You can install the DB Manager on your desktop to administer the Database, if the dbmcli commands are not working is also most likely a env varible problem

Hi Jaun,

I have already tried connecting to SAPDB from my desktop, it accepts the username and password and shows the database as online but i am also getting error while performing any activity.
