Central Adapter Engine does not get updated

[Former Member]

Hello,

we have a problem with our CPACache. It worked fine so far but since yesterday the status is set to "Not Yet Started" whenever activating directory objects but never changes to succesful. There are some other thread around this issue, but none of the suggestions solved the problem so far. Here is what we have tried so far:

1. Checking RFC Connection INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI, Connection test was successful

2. SXI_Cache: Green Status

3. Cache Status Overview: No error messages on problem tab (only a grey status in change list view)

4. CPA Cache Service in NWA restarted and value is set to DIRECTORY

5. Full Cache Refresh: Does not work anymore either --> HTTP Connection could not be established, strange thing however is, that the connection test for INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI still works.

Do you have any idea what else we could try? Restarting the adapter engine is no option right now as it is a production system and the root cause should be found.

Thank you very much!

We have restarted the J2EE engine which resolved the problem. Root cause is still not clear but the CPA cache is updating again at least.

Do you have any adapters that are running with an error status. We discovered that adapters that are occur a critical error can cause the cache to not update. All cache related notes and users were OK.

Check RWB status:

If so inactivate the adapters in the IB as well as stop them in the RWB. Probably also Basis will need to restart AS Java. Then normally our cache would update. The ultimate answer is prevent any Java stack adapters from incurring critical errors and we stopped having issue for the cache to update.

Hi Florian,

try checking that the user XIDIRUSER / PIDIRUSER is not locked and has been assigned the role -

SAP_XI_ID_SERV_USER

If the user is OK and you are unable to execute a full CPACache refresh

http://<host>:<port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full

with the XIDIRUSER/ PIDIRUSER

then refer to the notes :

[1030255 Integ. server ABAP cache not automatically updated|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1030255 ]

[1030077 Cache notification remains in status "started"|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1030077]
