WAS SR1 ABAP installation failed with FRF-00007

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm installing a WEBAS 6.40 ABAP test system - the CI is installed and I'm currently installing the DB instance. The system is being installed on VMWare.

I get the following error in phase 23 of 29 in the log file sapinst_dev:

Though I can ping to the virtual server from my PC and back.

Has anyone faced this type of issue?

Thanks.

Solution to this error:

1. Reboot server

2. login as ora<sapsid>

3. start listener ( Ensure its running at same port as mentioned during SAPInst stages; also ensure the tnsnames has the servive entry for Oracle instance.

4. Start SAP's database instance.

5. login as <sapsid>adm

6. startsap ALL

7. Login as root and restart the SAPInst installation. it will prompt you for DDIC and SAP* passwords.

8. All set for you now.

Thanks

hi,

> FRF-00007 Unable to open RFC connection.

Though this was posted long ago, i think it will be useful for the pple hereafter.

Check the following. one of them could be a solution.

• All required Services should be up and running.

• Check your DDIC password (that's responsible to open your RFC calls)

• We should have Logical RFC destination for your system.

• Restart your installation.

same situation, where is the DDIC password check, haven't reached a stage yet where it asks for one.

also my dispatcher process soetimes is green and mostly stopped, means some issue there too.

can anyone throw some more info on the RFC thing

I have just met and addressed this problem and found the reason is the startup failure of Oracle DB during SAP R3470 new installation on AIX 5.3, Oracle 9i. Maybe you can try to startup the DB manually. Also you can check whether SAP system can be started successfully.

If helpful, please give me your kind points!

Hi again!

The problem here was that the dispwork process wasn't startet correctly during the installation. There were problems with file permissions. We got the error "*** DISPATCHER EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN => DpSapEnvInit: DpMemInit" when starting dispwork manually.

There was a problem while allocating shared memory. The "shm" didn't have proper permissions. So we altered it with chmod and could succesfully finish this installation step.

Same Problem here (Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 4, WebAS 6.40). Any thoughts?

Hi Kailash

I am having exactly the same problem during installation of SAP WAS 6.40SR1. If you have overcome this problem, please let me know the solution. It would definitely help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

can you ping the host portal from the DB instance? Have you tried to use full qualified host names?
