SAP Services started twice

[Former Member]

I have made copy from:

EHP3 SCM 7.0 (MSSQL/MAXDB/WIN64) to EHP3 SCM 7.0 (ORACLE/MAXDB/AIX7.1)

When we configured profiles we faced with next troubles:

Initial our instance profile names <SID>_APO_DVEBMGS00_lpar2. But when we copied system, we create profile <SID>_DVEBMGS00_LPAR2.

For AIX ..lpar2 and ..LPAR2 is the different files. And if we delete on of this files system cannot start.

And when it starts sap, we can see, that all services are "twiced".

Any body knows how to:

1. Configure only one profile.

2. Delete twiced services.

Hello,

Check the contents of the "/usr/sap/sapservices" file, and remove any duplicate entries.

Then:

1. Stop all running sapstartsrv processes (sapcontrol -nr $$ -function StopService);
2. Remove all files from "/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/sapcontrol";
3. Ensure that both profiles ("lpar2" and "LPAR2" have the same parameters / values;
4. Collect the output of "hostname" (e.g., either "lpar2" or "LPAR2");
5. Remove the profile that is NOT equal to the output of step 4;
6. Start the sapstartsrv processes again (sapcontrol -nr $$ -function StartService <SID>).

Cheers,

Isaías

When i'm trying to execute step 6 i got next error:

Even if i try to start this service under user apoadm.

[isaias_freitas · Accepted solution]

Were you logged on as "apoadm"?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

APO it is a SID, so apoadm is a instance user.

[isaias_freitas · Accepted solution]

"apoadm" is an operating system level user

you need to be logged on as "apoadm" to have access to all sapcontrol functions

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

yes, i logged on as apoadm and got the same arrer message.

I manually executed:

./sapstartsrv pf=... /APO_ASCS01_lpar2 -D -u apoadm

and

./sapstartsrv pf=... /APO_DVEBMGS00_lpar2 -D -u apoadm

Its started OK.

So, instance 01 started with no problems:

But instance 00 cannot start:

What do u think about it?

Please share the dev_disp, dev_w0, dev_rd and dev_icm trace files.

dev_disp renamed to dev_disp.txt

dev_disp.new renamed to dev_disp.new.txt

dev_icm renamed to dev_icm.txt

dev_rd renamed to dev_rd.txt

dev_w0 renamed to dev_w0.txt

I manually set environment varyable $LIBPATH and manually start IGS. Its OK, but disp+work is still down.

Problem solved.

1. There was incorrect sybols in sapservices file (edited by vi redactor).

2. There was incorrect instance profile (recover from backup).

Hi Andrew,

Your system should be running under just one instance profile. What appears in dev_disp when you delete one of the profile files?

Thanks!
