Starting SDM Server in integrated mode

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to start the SDM Server after upgrading to SP17 but the server doesnot start in the 'integrated' mode. The reply I get is the following "SDM server not up after 55 seconds. Waiting for another 5 seconds". It is starting in the 'standalone' mode and I am able to connect through the remotegui. The server is running on AIX. The log doesnot have any information regarding what is happening. Please help.

Hi Pascal,

This is exactly what I have done. But after this when I start the SDM with StartSDM command I get the reply I have posted earlier. It is waiting for the SDM server to startup. Please advise.

Hi Sanjib,

just to be sure, you are starting it with "sdm.sh remotegui", right?

Have you tested to wait for 600 seconds? There's a timeout then, maybe it'll show more information or even start after that timeout.

Hi Pascal,

Sorry for the delay in replying. I am starting the GUI by executing the script RemoteGui.bat and I am able to connect to SDM of other servers. There is one particular server whose SDM server doesnot start in integrated mode.

Passing the command ./sdm.sh jstartup mode=integrated ends with return code = 0. And after that I pass the command ./StartServer.sh. These commands are as per SAP Note 860939. I have waited for 600 seconds as you have suggested and the following is the snapshot from the sdmlog20060929.log file:

Hi Sanjib,

okay, everything you made is correct, hm...;-)

Check out these log files:

/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<NR>/work/dev_sdm

/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<NR>/work/std_sdm.out

/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<NR>/work/jvm_sdm.out

if you see some errors, post them...

Hi Pascal,

There is no JC00 directory under the path you have mentioned. The only directories that exist are: DVEBMGS00, SCS01, SYS. The work directory under /DVEBMGS00 contains the file you have requested for but they are old files. Please advise.

Warm regards,

Hi Sanjib,

okay, in your case (double stack ABAP+Java system) it's DVEBMGS00, sorry.

What do you mean with old files? Also the server and dispatcher files? They should log every start of the J2EE instance, so they should be quite current in your case

Hi Pascal,

The date of these files are old and it seems that they were not written to whenever I started and stopped the SDM server.

Hi Sanjib,

also when you start and stop the whole system?

what about dev_jcontrol?

Hi,

The dev_jcontrol is about 4 days old or the last log in the file is that old. The last few lines of the log contains the following data:

[Thr 1] JStartupICreateProcess: fork process (pid 737456)

[Thr 1] Mon Sep 25 19:40:56 2006

[Thr 1] *** ERROR => invalid return code of process [bootstrap] (exitcode=66) [jstartxx_mt. 1465]

[Thr 1] JControlExecuteBootstrap: error executing bootstrap node [bootstrap] (rc=66)

[Thr 1] JControlCloseProgram: started (exitcode = 66)

[Thr 1] JControlCloseProgram: good bye... (exitcode=66)

Okay, then check out these files:

std_bootstrap.out

jvm_bootstrap.out

dev_bootstrap

normally the last lines of dev_jcontrol should be:

[Thr 1] JStartupICreateProcess: fork process (pid 336126)

[Thr 1] JControlICheckProcessList: process SDM started (PID:336126)

Hi Pascal,

I am sorry for the late reply, whenever I try to reply the message the site seems to have a problem. I have checked the files you suggested.

The last few lines on dev_jcontrol are as follows:

[Thr 1] JStartupICreateProcess: fork process (pid 737456)

[Thr 1] Mon Sep 25 19:40:56 2006

[Thr 1] *** ERROR => invalid return code of process [bootstrap] (exitcode=66) [jstartxx_mt. 1465]

[Thr 1] JControlExecuteBootstrap: error executing bootstrap node [bootstrap] (rc=66)

[Thr 1] JControlCloseProgram: started (exitcode = 66)

[Thr 1] JControlCloseProgram: good bye... (exitcode=66)

Hi Sanjib,

I also had the same problem. I solved the iisue.

got to SDM/program/config / sdm_jstartup.properties

there u see the sdm.JavaParameters=-d256 .make this parameter to null sdm.JavaParameters=

and try Stratserver.sh

Now SDM will definitely work in integrated mode. Please let me know if you face any problem

Hi Sanjib,

go to directory "/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/SDM/program" and start "sdm jstartup mode=integrated"
