SAPOSCOL questions

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

In one of the application servers of our R/3 production system, I found this warning message (in bold letters) in the log file of SAPOSCOL:

01:29:15 05.11.2007 LOG: ===== Collector launch. ===========

01:29:15 05.11.2007 LOG: Version of saposcol =[COLL 20.53.3.1 98/01/20 - @(#)HP 97/06/06 20.22.3.1]

What does this message mean? Below is kernel information for this app server:

SAP R/3 Kernel 46D

Database library OCI_805_64__OCI_7_API

created in HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800

created on Dec 26 2004 20:41:20

Support package number 1984

Also, in another application server of the same system, I do not see data for "Top CPU" (ST06 => Detail Analysis => Top CPU). Is there anything I can do to fix this? Below is kernel info for this app server:

Thanks Sunil.

What about the other issue about "Top CPU" having no data? Any ideas about that?

[Former Member]

This might be a permissions issue with the account that started saposcol. If you started saposcol with the default [sid]adm account, then the program may not have permission to view the IPC files in the shared memory area (which I think is /dev/shm). If you restart saposcol with the root account, then this error should go away.

Thank you for your inputs and suggestion Joe.

I am not able to test this now, but I will let you know once I get to restart SAPOSCOL.

What about for the other issue that I posted? The one about no data collected for "Top CPU"? Any ideas about that one?

Thanks,

Kris

Kris,

On the second question, try running saposcol using a command like this: 'saposcol -o | less'

This should dump the current collection results from memory and should also allow you to see if the CPU information is being recorded.

If this information is not being recorded, then check the version of saposcol against the other systems.

Thanks,

Joe
