Error while starting SWPM

[ashit_mehra1]

Hi,

I am getting an error while starting SWPM.

The error is as follows.This is after I give the ./sapinst command:

Starting Server

load resource pool /SWPM/resourcepool.xml

: Reading service configuration SAPinstService.

GUI started.

>> Invocation target exception: Can't connect to X11 window server using '172.**.**.141:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

>> Closed input stream

GUI terminated with return code 4

>> Closed input stream

guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host KEPDBPPRDZONE, port 21212 to continue with the installation

The display variable is already set correctly.So that area is covered.

Please give me a solution as I am not able to take export of the system.

Hi,

I was having the same issue, i could not able to start the SAPINST GUI and giving DISPLAY env error and GUI terminated with return code 4 even after started XMING and i enabled X11 forwarding on putty before login on to the system.

After verifying logs under /root/.sdtgui/log it was found that GUI looking for localhost IP which should be like xxx.0.0.1. Then i checked in /etc/hosts. It was found that localhost was pointing to  physical IP of the server, I just vi the /etc/hosts file and added xxx.0.0.1 to localhost entry, then i was able execute xclock and subsequently sapinst GUI.

Hope this helps to solve this issue.

Hi,

If you are using putty, please select 'Enable X11 forwading'  & fill X display location with localhost:0.

Also your xmanager should be start in passive mode.

Please try xclock after completing above steps.

Hello

How did you connect to the server? SSH, telnet or VNC?

If possible please using a VNC connection.

Normally the display issue will not occur when you using VNC connection.

Best regards,

Shuai

Issue with Display , are you using any tools like xming/xmanager etc... ??

try to check with "xclock" command  weather display is working or not

and  also check echo$DISPLAY

Hi,

please make sure, you are not setting JAVA_HOME environmental variable for SWPM. SWPM works with SAPJVM automatically.
