Portal - Max number of 100 conversations exceeded

[Former Member]

Hi there,

We are currently getting the error:

LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host with
Unicode
ERROR max no of 100 conversations exceeded
TIME Thu Apr 03 00:41:15 2014
RELEASE 720
COMPONENT CPIC (TCP/IP) with Unicode
VERSION 3
RC 466
MODULE r3cpic.c
LINE 14566
COUNTER 38

Searching the forum I realise I need to set the environment variable CPIC_MAX_CONV to a value

more than 100.

I have tried adding the line :

CPIC_MAX_CONV = 2000

to the /usr/sap/EPD/SYS/profile/DEFAULT.PFL on our portal DEV system.

However, when I restarted the service and did echo $CPIC_MAX_CONV the value

is not held. I am obviously not doing something correct.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

Please set the value set CPIC_MAX_CONV=500 in the environment profiles of user <sidadm>

you need to change the files with extensions .csh , .sh .

When you login to system using <sidadm>, execute

ls -lta to get the list of hidden files as well.

By adding value into the environment profile files, it becomes permanent for that user.

Secondly try to increase the value of SAP profile parameter rdisp/max_comm_entries = 2500 or higher.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks Deepak,

I have just checked and I'm a bit confused as to which of the files below I should make

the entry?

-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   4814 Jan 16  2013 .dbenv.csh
-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   4780 Jan 16  2013 .dbenv.sh
-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   1156 Dec 11  2012 .j2eeenv.csh
-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   8325 Dec 11  2012 .sapenv.csh
-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   7693 Dec  4  2012 .sapenv.sh

Also,

Do I make this entry on the DB server side OR the portal server??

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

You may update following files and check the results.

rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   4814 Jan 16  2013 .dbenv.csh

-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   4780 Jan 16  2013 .dbenv.sh

-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   8325 Dec 11  2012 .sapenv.csh

-rwxr-x---  1 eppadm sapsys   7693 Dec  4  2012 .sapenv.sh

This changes has to be done on the CI host of portal ( in case you have distributed setup).

Once the changes are done please check with commend echo $CPIC_MAX_CONV

Hope this helps.

Thanks Deepak,

Once changed I presume stop/start sap?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

no need to stop/start for this changes, system should take the new value automatically and this is OS parameter..

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Not sure you are right. You need to open new session, check that environment variables have been set and after that you can start/restart the application.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

As I mentioned before no need to restart the applications. Once you have modified the parameter in the files (list provided by Deepak) then should be active immediately.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

That's not correct. The running processes won't pick up the new environment variable value until they are restarted. In order to restart the processes correctly, the process starting the other processes has to be restarted as well.
