How to see sap work process from linux

[Former Member]

Hi All,

  I am using Solaris operating system, I tried to check work process from O/S level by "dpmon pf=<SID>_DVBMGS<instance no>_server " so its working fine in my quality and dev system, but when i am trying same steps in my PRD ,so it is not working with the below error

"

bash-3.00$ dpmon pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

dpmon=>sapparam(2): fopenU("IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP","r"): No such file or directory

dpmon=>No Profile used.

dpmon=>sapparam: SAPSYSTEMNAME neither in Profile nor in Commandline

DpMonInit failed - possibly no dispatcher running

DpMon: External/Internal dplib version: 110/247"

My PRD is on cluster, in this we have 3 application,

Please guide me how can i proceed the action in PRD.

Thanks and Regards,

Aziz.

Hi Faizan,

Can you please try and execute 'dpmon pf=/sapmnt/SID/profile/DEFAULT.PFL' and let me know the results, as it just seems that you need to add SAPSYSTEMNAME parameter to the instance profile

Hi Marius,

  Tried but same error, see below please.

bash-3.00$ dpmon pf=/sapmnt/IEP/profile/DEFAULT.PFL

DpMonInit failed - possibly no dispatcher running

DpMon: External/Internal dplib version: 110/247

bash-3.00$ dpmon pf=/sapmnt/IEP/DVEBMGS01/DEFAULT.PFL

dpmon=>sapparam(2): fopenU("/sapmnt/IEP/DVEBMGS01/DEFAULT.PFL","r"): No such file or directory

dpmon=>No Profile used.

Hi Aziz

what happend when you do a check on the profile ?

sappfpar check pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

did you also try just adding SAPSYSTEMNAME=IEP to the instance profile ?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi Marius,

In my instance profile the sapsystemame=IEP already exist .

but,

when i hit command "sappfpar check pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP" the screen comes as below,

sappfpar check pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

sappfpar=>sapparam(2): fopenU("IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP","r"): No such file or directory

sappfpar=>No Profile used.

sappfpar=>sapparam: SAPSYSTEMNAME neither in Profile nor in Commandline

HI Faizan

can you please go the the profile directory and check the permissions as suggested by Andrea,

ls -l /sapmnt/IEP/profile

and paste the results

Best Regards

Marius

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi Faizan,

Mr. Wahudi makes a very good point.

Do df -h on your working and non working system.

Do comparison, if your profile dir is not mounted on prod you may have to contact linux team to add it.

You can just use sapcontrol !

Hello

You used this :

bash-3.00$ dpmon pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

On Unix/Linux machines file names are case sensitive

So you need to do this

su - iepadm

cdpro

dpmon pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_itzeccap

Good Luck

HI,

cd to to relevant directory

cd /usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile/

Verify your current directory with command pwd

then check your user with command whoami your user should be iepadm

Now if you do ls -ltr in directory of /usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile/ you should see the profile as you did in your previous that was all correct.

Now run command dpmon pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

You will see the following:

@Reagan:

Good point Reagan, that's why I asked him to do this -->

try to start dpmon with pf=/usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile/your-instance-profile (full directory).

With hope that he will copy-n-paste the instance-profile correctly....

@Faizan:

You did get cdpro correctly executed (from your list at 2:30 pm):

# su - iepadm

All activites on this Host are loged please submit change request form before you commit any configuration changes on this Host

node2-eccdb:iepadm 1% cdpro

Hi Faizan,

It seems that the profile-directory is not correctly being shared between your SAP-servers on PRD-cluster. Or the environment is not correctly set on those servers.

Try this command on those PRD-servers, and compare with DEV & QAS for example: cdpro --> it should bring you directly to the profile-directory.

Alternatively, you should try to start dpmon with pf=/usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile/your-instance-profile (full directory).

I hope this will help you.

Andre

[Former Member]

Andre,

   I have been run command  "cdpro", but it is giving error

"bash: cdpro: command not found "

i am also thought about some cluster issue may have there ... but i dnt have any idea about how to check the profile  directory sheared in  cluster or not and all,

please do the need full ..

Regards,

Aziz.

[Former Member]

hi Aziz

reagan.benjamin has stolen the solution my solution

the only difference is that "cdpro" is an alias that you seem not to have so replace that with "cd /usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile"

Hi Faizan,

In your profile directory if you run command ls -ltr what is the output you see?

is this all you see:

-rw-r-----   1 iepadm   sapsys       144 Jun 29  2009 .profile.1

-rw-r--r--   1 iepadm   sapsys       174 Jun 29  2009 local.profile

If this is your complete output you are in the incorrect directory, usually as marius has stated:

It would be located in the directory

/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile

So in your case go cd /usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile

then do ls -ltr and give us output please.

Regards,

Johan

[Former Member]

Hi Aziz

i believe there is a lack of authorisation, can you go in your profile directory and run a ls -latr ?

Let me know

[Former Member]

HI andrea,

  which directory u mean to give  permission is,

-rw-r-----   1 iepadm   sapsys       144 Jun 29  2009 .profile.1

-rw-r--r--   1 iepadm   sapsys       174 Jun 29  2009 local.profile

/usr/sap/IEP/SYS/profile

Regards,

Aziz.

[Former Member]

Hi Aziz

i am a bit confused. You run the command dpmon pf=<SID>_DVBMGS<instance no>_server where the profile is IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP ? but the list you pasted doesn't show any profiles at all ...

One step back, can you run this find /usr/sap/IEP -name IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

in case it return something then launch dpmon pf=result_of_previous_search (and bear in mind that iepadm should have -rw against this file)

in case it doesnt i believe you have to retrieve the profile of your instance first

Let me know if you need further details

Hi andrea,

  I have run proper command what is working in my quality,eccdev,XIdev smoothly, but its giving error in my ECC production as well as PI(XI)production, I checked all instance profile and permissions and compared with dev and PRD, all are same but Both PRD not working, giving same error, Is this because of cluster????? my both PRD on cluster and have2-3 application.

Please guide me....

Regards,

AzIz.  

[Former Member]

Aziz,

I'm here to help and we'll fix this.

Yes, probably this difference is because of cluster config. did you try the find command?

In same way your instance are up&running (hopefully) so probably the profile is somewhere somohow, you have just to find it and the everything will be clear and smooth

let me know

I'm trying to figure out why when you run

bash-3.00$ dpmon pf=IEP_DVEBMGS01_ITZECCAP

it searches for it under /sapmnt/IEP/DVEBMGS01/DEFAULT.PFL

fopenU("/sapmnt/IEP/DVEBMGS01/DEFAULT.PFL","r"):

But ok, can you get some one to double chekc the cluster and also make sure that the user IEPADM is part of the correct groups ?

also can you try and run the dpmon command from a CSHELL

just type 'csh'

and try and execute the command again
