jcontrol fails due to os.name, os.bit.length

[Former Member]

SDN friends:

I try to start a Java system but the jcontrol failed with following errors:

Bootstrap MODE:

<SINGLE INSTANCE>

determined by parameter [ID00#######].

Exception occurred:

com.sap.engine.bootstrap.SynchronizationException: os.name or

os.bit.length or os.unicode properties not set in the database! Check

database consistency!

[Bootstrap module]> Problem occurred while performing synchronization.

I find OSS note 771132 but on offline config tool I cannot find the said os.name OR os.bit.length.

Your experience is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Please set os.name, os.bit.length and os.unicode propertie correctly as it is described in SAP Note #771132.

The SAP Note #757712 describes a similar problem.

You may refer to help.sap.com for correct values:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/HELPDATA/EN/0c/2f73ee5e3d49139a1f3489dc854178/content.htm

Check that you changed the java home as described in SAP Note #757712?

When you change it and generate the xml.you will see lines in the file something like (the j2sdk can be different):

<task name="change.element.info">

<property key="element.name" value="server.ID157596"/>

<property key="java.path" value="C:/j2sdk1.4.2_13"/>

<property key="installation" value="no"/>

</task>

</config>

You will need to replace the line with "java.path" by the os parameters.

Please make sure you do not put the os parameters in the wrong place.

The os parameters should be included between <task...> and </task>.

Best Regards,

Abhishek
