Hello,

We are running SAP PI 7.31 SPS4, HP-UX 11.31, Oracle 11.2.

PI is a dual stack, Abap and Java

We are running a HP-UX super-dome, meaning that multiple IPs addresses are configured , PI has its own IP adress : XXX.XXX.XXX.102

While the Superdome machine has its own IP adress : XXX.XXX.XXX.68. (localhost)

SAP management sonsole confirms that P4 port is assigned to PI adress :

PI has been installed and configured on its own IP Adress XXX.XXX.XXX.102, the P4 port is listening on that port, not on the IP adress of the localhost of the machine. As seen in the screenshots above.

We are in the process of applying patches top the J2EE software component using SUP (Sofware Update MAnager Version 1.0, SP Version 12)

Unfortunately when reaching the step : Input Java Adminsitartor user credentials

We are getting the error :

Could not display dialog UserPasswords. Could not execute dialog UserPasswords. See previous messages. Error while trying to validate Administrator password. Possible reason: the J2EE engine is not started. Error while trying to get initial context. com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NamingException: Exception while trying to get InitialContext. [Root exception is com.sap.engine.interfaces.cross.DestinationException: cannot establish connection with any of the available instances Nested exceptions are: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException: Cannot open connection on host: xxx.xxx.xxx.68 and port: 50304 ] com.sap.engine.interfaces.cross.DestinationException: cannot establish connection with any of the available instances Nested exceptions are: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException: Cannot open connection on host: xxx.xxx.xxx..68 and port: 50304

And here is the log generated in the file SUM.TRC :

SUM is trying to contact PI on the localhost IP adress of the server xxx.xxx.xxx.68, not on its own IP adress XXX.XX.XXX.102

Obviously , the P4 port 50304 is not reachable through the localhost of the server

piqadm:/sapmnt/PIQ/profile > netstat -an | grep 50304

tcp        0      0  xxx.xx.xxx.102.50304   *.*                     LISTEN

One important information, when trying the patch the J2ee components though JSPM, it works fine, JSPM get connected without any manual adjustment.

There are several sap notes discusinning similar issues :

1868308 - Deployment error with "Could not establish connection to AS Java on [P4://<hostname>:<port...

I carefully checked NWA and configtool, localhost is defined nowhere

1711920 - Connection to ICM using P4 protocoll fails

I restarted the P4 server several time

I have removed all backup profiles from \usr\sap\<SYSID>\SYS\profile.

The instance profiles the default profile do not contai nany reference to the localhost

I have reviewed host file, and PI is not mapped to the localhost

1158626 - P4 connection to ICM on machine with multiple IPs fails

The parameters listed in this note, are already active :

icm/server_port_3 = PROT=P4, PORT=5$(03)04, HOST=XXX.XXX.XXX.102

Sap MMC and SMICM transaction confirm that the correct IP is listenening on port 50304

I tried different versions of SUM, but I am still having the same proble.

I am running out of option now .....

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Raoul,

Hi Julio,

The problem is indeed solved , we contacted SAP Support ; it is a very recent bug, SAP development support provided us a single jar file , responsible for Java Administrator authentication. We copied the jar file, then  resumed SUM patching and the Administrator was immediately  able to connect.

The jar file was not contained in the latest SUM package (December 2014), I do not know if it  has been updated now.

So , you may need to open a sap customer call, and insist, it is not a network or authentication issue.

Communication can be... hum ... tricky ... with some sap support consultants.

Good Luck !
