Error starting the Config Tool with NW04s Sneak Preview

[Former Member]

All...

I am running the Java NW04s Sneak Preview (SP9).

When I try to start the config tool, I get the following error on the dos session

The system cannot find the path specified.

Program terminated abnormally

Press any key to continue...

I realize that this is probably a very simple problem to fix... so can anyone tell me how?

Also... when I log on to the Visual Administrator or the NetWeaver Administrator, I cannot edit any parameters. I have tried logging in as "Administrator" and as "admin". Is the Sneak Preview locked out, or am I doing something wrong?

Hii ALL,

I encountered the same error. This is how I rectified.

STEP 1: Go to (YOUR Installation Drive):\usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\configtool

STEP 2: Right Click on ConfigTool.BAT (this is MS Dos Batch File) and select EDIT

STEP 3 a: You will find the following Line of code

set JAVA_CMD="%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java"

I've REPLACED JAVA_HOME directly with the version of java available on my system ie JAVA-HOME of User variables in Environmental Variables without "bin" as its already present in the code as shown below.

set JAVA_CMD="%D:\j2sdk1.4.2_12%\bin\java"

STEP 4: Save and RUN the configtool by double clicking on it this should solve this error.

Hi Eric,

Right click on the ConfigTool.bat file and open in "Edit". Please check the java

home path being used. Also you may as well verify the contents of file configtool.properties.

Please let us know if configtool.log contains anything helpful.

Srikishan --

I did check the bat file, and it says:

%JAVA_CMD% -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Duser.language=en -classpath .\lib\launcher.jar;. com.sap.engine.offline.OfflineToolStart com.sap.engine.configtool.visual.ConfigTool ./lib/

where JAVA_CMD should equal %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.

I have JAVA_HOME set in my environment variables.

I did a "set" command in DOS to check, and it is there.

The properties file in its entirety says:

Honestly, I can't tell you anything about this file.

The file C\:

jar
sapdbc.jar does exist.

Any other ideas?

Hi Eric,

I know this reply is pretty late, but it may help other people having similar problem.

I had the same problem. But rectified now.

You create a new variable in 'Environment Variables',

right-click the config- tool, click edit, and place the new variable you created insted of JAVA_HOME variable, or you can directly give the java path there, for eg: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\bin\java
