Issue with kernel 7.20 EXT (sapgparamILE & DIR_CT_RUN missing)

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We have have recently completed a BW (DS) 7.01 -> 7.31 upgrade and in the process we moved from kernel 7.20 NUC to 7.20 EXT NUC.

However post upgrade we are trying to update the kernel and I keep on getting the following errors:

sapgparamILE: program SAPPFPAR/SAPPFPAR does not return data via pipe

and

ERROR: Parameter DIR_CT_RUN missing in profile '/sapmnt/<SID>/profile/<SID>_DVEBMGS<##>_sap<sid>'

I have examined the profile and confirmed that the entry is there and that the user <SID>ADM has access to the file.

Has anyone ever face this issue? If so, I would greatly appreciated knowing how you fixed the issue.

Highest regards,

Yannick C.

Hi Yannick,

Presumably you applied the workaround of note 1702912 a while ago by setting environment variable SAPGPARAMILE_LIBRARY system wide. If so you should remove it again as it was only a temporary workaround causing the current kernel to look into the wrong directions at some decision points.

Hope that helps

Thanks Thomas!

I guess we never removed this patch after installer the corrected kernel version.

the logfile:

sapgparamILE: program O4SAPPFPAR/PFPART10 does not return data via pipe.

  Command called was:(/QSYS.LIB/O4SAPPFPAR.LIB/PFPART10.PGM full       

  pf=/usr/sap/T10/SYS/profile/DEFAULT.PFL SAPSYSTEMNAME=T10 SAPSYSTEM=99

Hi Cheung,

what kernel patch and ILE patch do you use ?

You still seem to use 7.20 - this runs out of maintenance this quarter ...

Do you want to try 7.21 Kernel ?

Where do you see this error ?

Hi Volkert,

Problem is solved by starting en stopping in other methods in SAP Main Menu on IBM.

Thanks,
