Reg: SAP GUI

[Former Member]

Dear All,

after installing NW 7.0 ABAP Trial Version with what parameters (sysem number,etc) do I have to add a new system to sapgui?

Thank you in advance.

[klaus_keller · Accepted solution]

Hello,

Please enter the parameters as followed:

Description: Whatever you want

Application Server: localhost

System Number: 00

System ID: NSP

This applies if you running SAP GUI and application server on the same machine. In case you connect from remote, you have to enter the hostname instead of <b>localhost</b>.

This is also illustrated in the html documentation included in the download package. You'll find it under the link <b>Getting Started</b>

Regards,

Klaus

Thank you Klaus.

One more question

IP adress of localhost is this 10.10.0.10?

the "connecting" box appears and my hard disk is working but it won't go through this step. It does not drop any error.

unfortunately my laptop has only 768 RAM... could it be a problem?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Usually localhost has the IP-address 127.0.0.1

If you are not connected to any network, you should install the MS loopback adapter and assign it to 10.10.0.10. After this you should add an entry to this ip and your hostname to the file

%SystemRoot%System32driversetchosts

But as mentioned, this is required only if your are <b>not</b> connected to a network.

768 MB RAM should not be a problem. After starting the NSP system it could take some time for the logon.

Have you checked that the system is running (SAP MMC shows green lights)?

Regards,

Klaus

Dear Klaus,

thank you for the reply.

I am not connected to any network, and also added MS Loopback to hosts with

10.10.0.10 mshost

in GUi I set the system as you mentioned

desc: NW TRIAL

appl server: mshost

system id: NSP

system nr: 00

unfortunately, MMC freezes as a pop-up window appears and says

"Configuration information has been saved by an older version of the SAP System Manager Snapin. Conwerting configuration information to new format.

It does not matter whether I hit OK or Close it looks like as it is loading but nothing appears.

I would really appreciate your further help.

Hello,

Could you please open the task manager and check whether these processes are present:

msg_server.exe
disp+work.exe (8 times)

You can also start the application server via start menu -> All Programms -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP Trial Version -> NSP -> Start Application Sever

What happens if you open a browser and enter

<a href="http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000">http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000</a> or

<a href="http://mshost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000">http://mshost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000</a>

Dear Klaus,

1. the processes are running msg + disp 8 times

2. Application server is running (started through NSP and it confirmed that it is OK)

3. in browser i entered both addresses, but because i am not connected to any networks the addresses you suggested cannot be reached

ps: I read sg about the services option (3200,3600,8000 ports)

in 3600 stands: sapmsNSP tcp

in 3200 stands sapdp01 tcp

no 8000 exist

Thank you.

Klaus,

it has started, but application server shutdown came!

component DPTM

Thank you!

You are not connected to a network, but the loopback adapter is installed and i assume you made the correct entry in the hosts file (Described in the documentation under 'System Requirements' -> 'MS Loopback Adapter'). In your case it should look like:

127.0.0.1       localhost
10.10.0.10      mshost 

So you should be able to ping your host. Try it by open a command line interface and enter:

ping localhost 

or try

ping mshost

in the command line interface you can also check, whether the application is listening to some ports and if the database is running. Enter:

netstat -nb (this will display processes and ports they listen on)
dbmcli -d NSP -u control,<PASSWORD> db_state (will show the status of the db)

Where <PASSWORD> is the password you entered during installation.

The msg_server.EXE should listen to 3600 and 3900. If so, on which host does it listen to? 10.10.0.10:3600 or 127.0.0.1:3600?

If the pc cannot ping itself, check control panel->network settings for the loopback adapter to be started.

Klaus

Dear Klaus,

thank you again:)

I tried everythng you sent me.

Everything looks ok except one thing

after hitting

dbmcli -d NSP -u control,<PASSWORD> db_state (will show the status of the db)

disp+work.exe and icman.exe + 2 TCP lines appeared but

NO msg_server.exe

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Dear Klaus,

could it be that I have to add msg to port 8000?

because netstat -nb stated

Local address Foreign address Status PID

TCP 127.0.0.1:8000 127.0.0.1:1095 ?_WAITING 0

Thank you

Actually, <b>dbmcli</b> shows the status of the database?!

Anyway, msg_server.exe is quit important. Please stop and restart the system. After this, check via <b>netstat</b> if the msg_server.EXE is present. If yes, try to log on and check again if msg_server.EXE is still there.

After this check/post the log <b><INSTALL_DIR>\NSP\DVEBMGS00\work\dev_ms</b>

(...a tough nut to crack

Rgds,

Klaus

[klaus_keller · Accepted solution]

No, you don't need an entry for port 8000 in the <b>services</b> file. This port is only for login via HTTP/Browser and if you do so, you enter the port explicitly with the URL.

Rgds,

Klaus

Dear Klaus,

1. after netstat it was present

2. it was corrupted

3. again netstat -> showed nothing

Hi,

This is exactly the error that occurs, if the services file does not contain an entry:

sapmsNSP    3600/tcp

Please double check your <b>%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\services</b> file for any entry 3600. There should be only one (the one above).

Rgds,

Klaus

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Dear Klaus,

unfortunately it holds this entry

sapmsNSP 3600/tcp

for me the sapmmc looks strange

syslog is full with errors and warnings.

the last one

SAP-Basis system. stop workproc 3, PID 736

Klaus please forgive my disturb but I would be really happy in case it can run!

[klaus_keller · Accepted solution]

That is strange. Do you have any firewall? When you enter the command

echo %COMPUTERNAME%

does it show <b>mshost</b>

Rgds,

Klaus

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Dear Klaus,

please forgive my late answer but I was far from internet till now.

re: firewall

I am not really sure what my computer name is but in Control Panel-> Computer name stands: fmc109

so

after <b>hitting echo fmc109</b> , it resulted

fmc109

may I ask what this echo means? for me it looks like that whatever I type after echo e.g. echo Texas it results

Texas

Thank you Klaus!

ps: firewall can cause problems? I have Panda Antivurus installed and windows firewall is switched on.

[klaus_keller · Accepted solution]

Hello,

By using the echo command you can displays the value of a variable. So you have to enter exactly 'echo %HOSTNAME%' to get the hostname, but anyway you did it with 'Control Panel'.

Perhaps this is the problem. In the hosts file you entered 'mshost' and your hostname is 'fmc109'. Try to change the file. In this case, it should look like:

127.0.0.1       localhost
10.10.0.10      fmc109

If the problem still exists, try to deactivate antivir and firewall (just for a test, i don't think this is the reason).

Regards,

Klaus

thank you again.

Unfortunately nor setting to fmc109 helped nor firewall helped.

After trying to connect through SAPGUI "Waiting for response" came

and an error message

Klaus for me it is a bit strange that looking through the processes in my laptop the disp+work.exe appeared 8 times but the message server related exe file (win_msg.exe) not.

Thank you.

[klaus_keller · Accepted solution]

Hello,

8 <b>disp+work.exe</b> processes are ok. But the <b>msg_server.exe</b> process is also required to connect to the system.

Do you have any possiblity to connect your laptop to a network. You could give it a try, just to be sure the problem is not related to the loopback adapter.

Rgds,

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

first of all: I could successfully reinstall the BW TRIAL so I am really happy now!!!:))

Secondly, I would like to thank you for all your helpful answers, suggestions!

One more thing: After logging in I followed the steps that Edwin Harpino wrote in his blog (Setting up BI in Netweawer Trial) but unfortunately during step

d.) Replicate Datasource

I recieved a timeout dump after 300 seconds:)

Then I reset the timeout range to 1000s but I am not sure if it will work properly.

After running RSA1 again it dropped a message that error occured during activation but the DW Workbench started correctly. After starting RSA1 again it dropped no error logs. Other transactions functions great either but I do not know do I have to reinstall the whole stuff again bcause of this former timeout.

Klaus, one more "Thank You" for all your help and wish you all the best,

Gabor

Best
