How to tell if j2ee patch is running?

[Former Member]

I am currently deploying SP11 for WAS 640 sp09. Step 15 of 19 (deploy online) has been running for 10 hours and no errors, but it appears to be on the same step. How can you validate that it is indeed running?

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

You can have a look in the sapinst.log, sapinst_dev.log, and callSdmViaSapinst.log files in the SAPinst temp dir. Check the last entries in there.

Best regards,

I did find a note that mentioned lowering the bootstrap heap size for the memory.

I cant remember the number

Jeremy,

Did you resolve your problem?

I am getting the same thing.

Am patching J2EE from 9 to 11 on Win2k/Oracle and seems to have hung in step 16 'Deply online' has been in this phase for 2 hours now, with no further addition to the log files.

I retried the patch and still the same problem I have included the following excerpts from the logs

sapinst_dev.log

Hi,

In addition to the logs already mentioned, you can also check the logs in the SDM directory. These logs are from the SDM process. Let me know if you need the specific location of the log file.

What O.S. platform are you on?

I've had similar hanging issues in the past when deploying and OSS note 796560 helped on HP-UX...

The last line I get in the log is

Mar 28, 2005 10:39:10... Info: ***** Begin of SAP J2EE Engine Deployment (J2EE Application) *****

This was 10 hours ago.

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

You can also check for errors in the defaultTrace.trc file in /usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log. Search for the name of the application that is being deployed by SDM (it's a few lines above in the sapinst.log: Info: Starting to execute deployment action (update) for "<app-name>").

If this doesn't help you can try to restart the cluster of the J2EE Engine and continue with the patch from where it hanged.

HTH,

Vladimir
