SUM Update failed in phase MAIN_PROFSTART/STOPSAP_TRANS

[Former Member]

Hello,

i am faced with an error during SUM Update of SRM to SP8.

Looks like MAIN_PROFSTART/STOPSAP_TRANS phase stops the SAP instance and then tries to connect to it which will fail of course. Starting the instance does not help as the phase itself will shutdown the instance before trying to establish a rfc connection.

I run SUM on the PAS (plogistikd1) of a distributed environment: <ASCS_Host> <PAS_Host> <DB_Host>

Should i have started SUM from ASCS instance? The stack.xml was taken from a MOPZ run of another host and than adjusted to fit the hostname. The originally MOPZ run was for a non distributed system (but same version etc). Do i have to change other attributes in stack file to represent that?

Already added "service/protectedwebmethods = NONE" to the instance profile and restarted system and SUM as mentioned in snote 1664214 and somewhere in the forum here.

Also i assume this is not a network issue as SUM tries to reach RFC on localhost.

Any ideas or hints?

How did you start SUM?

If you have virtual hostnames in place I would suggest to give it a try and start SUM specifying the virtual hostname of the PAS.

Looks like the issue is solved. I made two changes :

1. added Service/protectedwebmethods = NONE to Default Profile instead of instance Profile

2. removed lines from /etc/Services where 3326 occured double from some Standard Linux Services.

Just for curiosity : how to start SUM specifying virtual hostname. Did not find it in the DSUGui Options?

Thanks
