Java instance will not restart after SAP-JEE patched to version 11

[Former Member]

Here is our current situation:

NWDI was not installed at the same time as the DEV ABAP/JAVA instance. We installed it manually after by following instructions for different notes and documentation. We were still missing a component. They were pointed out by a developer who found the following SAP documentation:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/ab/6760b8d7b64b6eb74052eb5bdf1405/frameset.htm

The required components were not available on the system. We then try to install those with the instruction from this note:

Note 891223 - How to Import Build Plugins to an NWDI track.

We then try to install missing components with JSDM. We were at SP stack 9 and then tried to install SAP-JEE 11. Prerequisite check didn’t detect problems so we proceed with the install. When the instance bounce, the Java didn’t restart. There was a prerequisite and the installed component should not have been installed without first installing other SP’s we suspect.

SAP-JEE is at 11 and the all other is at 09 except DI which were installed in between.

<b>To restart instance, I believe that we should roll back the SAP-JEE to 09 or install other modules to bring all at 11. We don’t find information on how to go either way.

How should we proceed from now?</b>

Thanks,

Hi,

1.Undeployment of SAP-JEE is a laborious process in SDM.So,deploy it again in SDM,by selecting an option "deploy any version".

2.Also deploy SAPJTECHS,SAPBUILDT,SAPJTECHFS AND SAP-JEECOR which will solve all the dependency.

3.in visual admin,go to <b>deploy</b> tab,and check if <b>umeservice</b> is running.if not start it.

4.or else start all the services manually through telnet.

reward suitable points if helpful.............

Thanks eveyone. We were able to use the SDM from the command line and remove the offending java patch. We then applied the whole stack at once.

[Former Member]

When applying the SP's the system was restarted but the J2EE engine did not restart we can't get it started. Don't we need this running to connect to the visual Administrator???

[Vlado]

Yep, but why do you need the Visual Admin?! Follow Ventsi's advice and deploy the missing software components with SDM. In addition to the list that Ventsi has given, you might also need SAPJTECHF<SP>.SCA if that hadn't been installed either.

Hope that helps!

[Former Member]

Thanks Vladimir but I can't logon to the SDM because the SDM Server stops as does the J2EE Server when you try to resart it. Therefore I can't apply the other patches.

I need to have the system restart, but how?

[Vlado]

You should be able to start just the SDM process from the SAP MMC. In the Process Table right click on SDM -> Enable Process. Doesn't this work?

If not, you can also start the SDM server in standalone mode - again, please refer to the SDM documentation pointed out by Ventsi.

Hi,

You can do one thing .

Using SDM you undeploy the SAPJEE_11.SCA. You need to undeploy all the internal components of this SCA. It's a tedious job. so be patient and carefull.

The choose the netire stack and use JSPM to patch.

Hope this helps you.

DO reward good points.

Dear customer,

Most likely you haven’t installed one or more of the core components of the J2EE Engine. Please use SDM to manually install

SAPJEE<SP>.SCA

SAPJEECOR<SP>.SCA

SAPJTECHS<SP>.SCA

for your SP version. Use the option in the SDM – Deploy SDA/SCA with any version. Please refer to the SDM documentation if you can’t find the above option -/SDM/program/doc/ SDM_Documentation_EN.pdf.

If you don’t have the files download them from http://service.sap.com/swdc.
