Hi Nico, in that case did you try Adam's suggestion?

If you get the same error when you use the correct syntax,
- login with n4sadm user
- add TRACE 1 variable ("setenv TRACE 1" in csh)
- call "startsap n4shost"
- attach startsap.trc from /home/<sid>adm

If so, please attach the file for us to look at.

Thanks for letting us know Nico and for coming back to close out the thread by marking it as answered. I notice you've marked my response as the correct answer, but I was only quoting Adam's response. If you get the chance it's his response that should be marked as the answer.

Cheers,

John

Hi,

startsap <Instance> <hostname>

startsap <Instance> <hostname> works only if database is already started, otherwise not.

[csaba_goetz]

startsap <hostname> starts both DB and SAP.

Hello Nico,

The correct command is "startsap n4shost" (instead of "sapstart n4shost"; startsap is the startup script, sapstart is the executable).

If you get the same error when you use the correct syntax,

- login with n4sadm user

- add TRACE 1 variable ("setenv TRACE 1" in csh)

- call "startsap n4shost"

- attach startsap.trc from /home/<sid>adm

Best regards,

Adam
