Web dynpro deploy error

[TMNielsen]

Hello all

I have created my first webdynpro application: WelcomeApplication created from a tutorial.

I read all the postings bout deploy errors, but still no solution.

I run SAP Netweaver Developer Studio version 2.0.4 on windows XP client PC.

The backend is SAP NetWeaver 04 Testdrive SR1 on Fedora core 2 linux.

The J2EE Engine view show green ligth for dispatcher, SDM and server0.

I can deploy and run all the J2EE Engine Examples from http://mylinuxhost:50000 - no problems at all.

When I do "Deploy new archive and run" every thing seems ok for about 10 or 20 sec. then the deployment is aborted.

Error log:

Hi,

1. Go to "C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\admin" and open Go.bat

2. This will open VisualAdministrator tool .

3. Give username and password.

4. On the left hand side expand "Server" node

You will get "Deploy option .

Hi,

I had exactely the same problem and found the solution here:

http://listserv.sap.com/pipermail/linux.general/2005-May/004673.html

After I changed the entry in /etc/hosts, everything went smooth.

Hi all,

I get the same error message during installation of NetWeaver 2004s (yes, I know it is a little bit off topic but the symptoms are the same).

However (unfortunately) my IP address is not static but dynamically assigned by DHCP.

Have anybody found a solution that does not involve adding a (static) IP address to the hosts file?

Hi ,

I will suggest one workaround to start with !!

Open the VisualAdmin and go to services->deploy and give the path of the .ear file in that location and deploy.

Now type the URL in the IE.

Hi Anilkumar

Thanks again.

what is VisualAdmin ?

Best regards

Thomas

[shyam_ravindranathan]

It is an adminstrator tool available in the server. Generally a go.bat file runs it in the windows servers

[Former Member]

Hi Thomas,

The Visual Administrator is the main tool for online administration of the SAP Web AS (Java). In the Visual Administrator you can :

Perform system configuration

Create and maintain user groups

Deploy Applications

Perform large parts of the system monitoring

Register new licenses for your SAP Web AS (Java)

Check this link for working with Visual Admin :

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/64/a7c93f4d903b1ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Hope this helps you.

Do get back for further clarifications.

Hi Thomas,

Please check in the Developer Studio that the host name is correct and in Windows-> Preferences -> SAP J2EE Engine its pointing to your host.

Hello Prakash

Thanks for your reply.

Yes my hostname is correct in che SAP J2EE Engine preferences.

If I change the hostname to something incorrect I can no longer se green lights for the dispatcher, SDM and server0 in the J2EE Engine view of Developer Studio.

Hi Thomas,

In the error message i have obeserved that it looking for host "nw4host" .Is the hostname is correct ??

Regards, Anilkumar

[TMNielsen]

Hello Anilkumar

I also wonder about the "nw4host". My real hostname is "mail".

When I installed the Linux testdrive the hosts file on the linux server was update with some kind of a virtual host called nw4host.

My linux hosts file look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.1.3 mail mail.sapwebs.dk

195.155.155.1 nw4host
