Hi, i have a problem with write access for saposcol program. I see that the file saposcol is read the file but its unable to wirte the same.

Collector : running

Start time coll. : Mon May 21 17:49:49 2007

Current Time : Mon Jun 11 13:27:51 2007

Last write access : Tue May 29 06:23:46 2007

Last Read Access : Mon Jun 11 13:26:24 2007

When i try to stop the saposcol i get the following error:

igzadm> saposcol -k

Setting Stop Flag :

13:24:44 11.06.2007 LOG: ==== Stop Flag was set by saposcol (kill_collector()).

13:24:44 11.06.2007 LOG: ==== The collection process will stop as soon as possible

********************

can't kill process 409656.

kill: No such process

ERROR:No reaction from collecting process 409656.

Please kill collecting process.exes.

Am doing this command through SID<ADM> from change directory /run.

Please help me how to check the permission of the SIDADM to stop the services.

I also try the same from root user but now use..

Please guide me how to stop and start the SAPOSCOL in AIX 5.3.

Advance Thanks.

Execute first saproot.sh:

cd /usr/sap/<SID>/exe

./saproot.sh <SID>

to make sure, saposcol has the 's'-bit set (or do it manually using

chown root saposcol

chmod 4755 saposcol

Then try to restart with "saposcol -l"

Kill the process first..by kill -9 .....and then start saposcol with saposcol -f ..it will start ..

Hi, i have the following permission for saposcol

imserv:/ # ps -ef | grep saposcol | more

root 118842 528422 0 14:02:17 pts/2 0:00 grep saposcol

I have changed the ownership as you mentioned....

imserv:/usr/sap/IGZ/SYS/exe/run # ./saproot.sh igz

Preparing /usr/sap/IGZ/SYS/exe/run/brbackup ...

Preparing /usr/sap/IGZ/SYS/exe/run/brarchive ...

Preparing /usr/sap/IGZ/SYS/exe/run/brconnect ...

Preparing /usr/sap/IGZ/SYS/exe/run/brtools ...

Preparing saposcol ...

Preparing icmbnd ...

done

However, i still get the error as:

igzadm> saposcol -k

Setting Stop Flag :

14:12:13 11.06.2007 LOG: ==== Stop Flag was set by saposcol (kill_collector()).

kill: No such process

Please kill collecting process.

Now the permission are set in my system as:

igzadm> ps -ef |grep saposcol|more

igzadm 729196 983058 0 14:13:25 pts/2 0:00 grep saposcol

That is not the "permissions" but the running process. List permissions with

cdexe

ls -l saposcol

> igzadm> saposcol -k

I'd suggest killing the process with kill -9 729196 and restart it with saposcol -l
