After Refresh of Portal pre-production using backup restore method from production, As JAVA is not coming up.

[Former Member]

Dear SAP,

We had a serious issue with the timesheet data in Production
due to

which the payroll activities went on hold. To rectify the
defect

we have refreshed our Pre-Prod system ECR with the
production data. We

have restored the backup and DB is also up and running, but
when we

tried to start SAP, AS-JAVA was not coming up and the jstart
log says :

"

*** ERROR => Node 'bootstrap' failed with exit code 515.

***

*** Please see section 'Failures in the 'synchronizing
binaries' phase'

"

Attached the work directory for your reference.

Could you please help us out on urgent basis to resolve this
as it is

impacting the payroll generation.

Many Thanks in Advance !!!

Hi,

To explain you much better. JAVA is much different from ABAP.

ABAP is totally a DB and some binaries/kernel at OS level. Where as JAVA has both File system data as well as DB.

So JAVA has to be exported in source and imported in taget server. I have tried doing the way you were doing sometime back.. struggled for 4 days continuously. But i couldnt do it. Finally i had to do export and import. In the target system since File system (/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee) has many files and folders which will be in sync with hostname, DB, SID, etc.

515 return code is for incorrect or invalid database content. So your problem will be solved by exporting and importing java only.

Hope it helps. Please let us know the outcome of this.

Hi,

Have you taken an export of the portal system.

Portal doesn't works like abap system . Most of the configuration in the portal sit at file system level. So portal should be refreshed using the export and backup.

Please check the system copy guide.

Thanks
