Hi Ashutosh,

I faced the same error as you had. (AIX53, Oracle9206, WAS 6.40, ABAP+Java System for our BW system)

Basically the steps that we followed is as follows:

1. Install SAP ABAP CI (Server 1)

2. Install SAP ABAP DB (Server 2)

3. Install SAP Java DB (Server 2)

4. Install SAP Java CI (Server 1)

We encountered the same error in the 4th phase. Did you had the same installation steps as above?

Thanks.

Hi Radu,

We have solved the problem by updating the classes12.jar file to the latest version. I think I got this file updated by applying the latest patch for Oracle JDBC thin client.

BTW, what's your platform?

Hi Mizwan,

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I updated them but without luck - same error. I have opened an OSS message also, let's see what comes out from there ...

Thanks

Hi,

I think then you can place the classes.jar on your machine and append the location

at the beginning of 'path' and 'classpath' Environment Variables values.

Local jars will be accessed and may be it works..

Hello ALL,

I managed to finish the installation after reinstalling everything from scratch but with Oracle 9.3.0.6 instead of 9.2.0.7 (so it is a buggy jdbc driver in patch 7). After passing this step I found out that I need to downgrade the java also from 1.4.2_10 to 1..4.2_08 !!! Good experience.

Thanks

Hi,

if you're running on oracle this problem occours because the J2EE didn't use the oracle client tools but is using JDBC.

So try a tnsping <sid> and you will get some info: (PORT = 1528)

Open the configtool and change the secure store jdbc/pool/<sid>/Url to something like: jdbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:<port-from-tnsping>:<sid>

Kind regards

Michael
