java.lang.NullPointerException: null

[Former Member]

Hi

We are trying to login to our portal (distributed DB in one server and CI in another server).

http://hostname:51100/irj/portal

we get the java.lang.NullPointerException: null error.

Whereas the other link

http://hostname:51100/index.html , systeminfo all are working fine. only irj is giving us the null pointer exception.

We checked the services file, it has the entry.

sapdp11 3211/tcp # SAP System Dispatcher Port

sapgw11 3311/tcp # SAP System Gateway Port

sapdp11s 4711/tcp # SAP System Dispatcher Security Port

sapgw11s 4811/tcp # SAP System Gateway Security Port

Will send the log in the next message, I can see in the forums that few has faced this error, but no one has updated the solution

Hi,

Check whether your gateway is working or not.

Thanks

Sunny,

Its a distributed environment and a standalone Java (EP).

As standalone java doesn't have a gateway. should I need to install gateway? bcos our development and production server doesn't have gateway running, but they are not distributed.

Can you please guide how to check whether gw is needed in a standalone java stack instance (DB Instance & CI seperated).

If its not running how to troubleshoot?

Thanks

Senthil

we just upgraded the system from Nw7.0 sps12 to EHP1 sps 06.

I just checked in visual admin and found few components in stopped status

sap.com/com.sap.portal.ajax.navigation.servlet

sap.com/com.sap.portal.fpn.accessservice

sap.com/com.sap.portal.navigation.afp.servlet

sap.com/pcd_bizc_authoring

sap.com/sap.com_tckmc_coll.room.wsdepi

Is the above components required for irj/portal url to run?

also if I choose the above components, the start applicaition & stop application is disabled, does that mean whether I need to deploy and start the above components?

If I choose deploy its asking for the EAR files? How to get that?

thanks

Hi,

we just upgraded the system from Nw7.0 sps12 to EHP1 sps 06.

This information should come in first message itself.

I guess contacting SAP OSS will help you in this case , i hope upgarde was successful.

Redeployment the components and it worked
