Hi Maruthi ,

Can you please paste the content of

netstat -tupan |grep -i 50018

Hi Ashutosh,

netstat -tupan |grep -i 50018 is not working in our solaris environment.

But we tried netstat -a | grep 50018 it is showing one process(SDM related).

Please suggest.

Hi,

First step can you telnet into port 50018 if you can something else is not using it.

Hi Maruthi,

1. Kill the process which you got in netstat command

2. Yes, reboot the server itself but before that try with the step 1.

Hello Chaturvedi/Experts,

One more Observation from me.

Before starting the export SDM was running fine(Integrated mode).

While export,the tool itself doing something,automaticaly the SDM was going to be stopped and the SDM state is also changed from Integrated to standlone.At this time we are getting the error RC=12.

Jan 26, 2014 3:28:06 PM  Error: Syntax error. Return code: 12

i am manually changing the SDM status from standlone to integrated mode and manullay started the SDM.After that when i click on retry it is giving error RC=4.

Why the tool itself is changing the SDM ststus from integrated to standlone mode.

Please suggest.

Hi Maruthi,

When you are exporting the content of SDM , it will go to standalone mode.

Now the error is version is not specified in SDM.properties file

Please check the version , it has to be 1.

Moreover check the profile parameter for SDM in instance profile or start profile.

With Regards

Ashutosh Chaturvedi

[former_member185239]

Hi Maruthi,

It will change to standalone mode , when it is working at os level , it has nothing to do at DB level.

Integrated mode means , SDM is attached to j2ee engine and update will be performed both at os and db level.

During export , it will create a file SDM.jar and SDM.kit (correct me if wrong) which will contain all the files present at os level.

With Regards

Dear Ashutosh/Experts,

Please find the SDM.properties file contents.

#The file was programmatically recreated due to missing or not correct properties or their values. For more information look at SDM log file.

Check SAP note 1724516

#Sun Dec 16 20:00:02 IST 2012

forceSecureLogon=enable

version=1.0

adminPortOnlyLocallyAccessible=disable

forceSecureAdminLogon=disable

maxFailedLogonAttempts=3

encryptTraffic=disable

Moreover there is no specific parameters related to SDM in startup and instance profile.

Regards

Maruthi V

[former_member185239]

Hi Maruthi,

The following parameter was set like this on the CI where SDM is supposed to run:

jstartup/instance_properties = $(jstartup/j2ee_properties)

The parameter should have been:

jstartup/instance_properties = $(jstartup/j2ee_properties);$(jstartup/sdm_properties)

Run the script below to update the version of SDM and also maintain the above parameter , in start profile if not present

sdm changeauthenticationprotocol “version=1.0” “password=<password of SDM>” “forcesecurelogon=enable” “encrypttraffic=enable” “adminportonlylocallyaccessible=enable” “forcesecureadminlogon=enable”

Dear  Ashutosh Chaturvedi,

Sorry i didn't check properly.The following param found in instance profile where SDM is running.

jstartup/instance_properties                $(jstartup/j2ee_properties):$(jstartup/sdm_properties)

1)where i have to run the above script(Previous your reply)

2)Shall i put the below param in startup profile also.

jstartup/instance_properties                $(jstartup/j2ee_properties):$(jstartup/sdm_properties)

Please suggest me.

Maruthi V

IHi Maruthi,

You need to run the above script where SDM is running.

With Regards

Ashutosh Chaturvedi

[Former Member]

Hi Maruthi,

Please check the below things:

1. Stop SAP application.

2. Go to /tmp directory.

3. ls -ltr .sapstream*

If you see any files, you can remove them and start SAP and try once.

If possible, you can bounce the OS, then you even do not need to follow the above steps.

Sometime UNIX socket files create issues, as per my experience.

Let us know if you have different location for Solaris.

Hello

Checking if another SDM is running on port 50018

Check if the port 50018 is used by some other process.

Try restarting the server and see if that helps.

Hello RB,

Only one SDM is running on port 50018.Restarted server two times but no luck.

Please suggest.
