Hi,

I am working with NW2004s / PI (Microsoft Cluster), when trying to execute (DB 13 / CHECKDB) getting followign error:

Job started

Step 001 started (program RSDBAJOB, variant &0000000000025, user ID DDIC)

No application server found on database host - rsh/gateway will be used

Execute logical command BRCONNECT On host GUA581CL02

**Parameters: -u / -jid CHECK20080229191228 -c -f check

**Can't exec external program (No such file or directory)WaitForSingleObject failedwith %d (No such deviceor address)

Job finished.

I am using Cluster environment, have installed additional Gateway, RFC, and Gateway is functioning well.

Any idea.

Dear Sahmad,

We are facing the same problem which you faced above, we are also on cluster and it is a new installation, request you if you could share your resolution details.

HI, i had this problem and i solved this problem.

HOST1 : DB instance

HOST2: CI instance

i created file in HOST1 in a SIDadm home directory file .rhosts

example .rhosts:

(host2) (SIDamd user)

check remote connection from HOST2 to HOST1:

remsh HOST2 -l SIDamd date

(remote list date number)

when connect is succesfull, then try TCP/IP connection in SM59 SXPG_DBDEST_<DB HOST>

and then CHECKDB in DB13

HI,

Thanks for your quick reply, 1. Application servers are already installed, Additional Gateway is nstalled on all cluster nodes, my problem is when trying to execute any action out of DB13 getting error:

DB 13 (CHECKDB) Can't exec external program (No such file or directory).

I have been checking environment variables, authorization etc .. all looks good

any idea

It's an new installation, and not an upgrade

Hello shujah,

DB13 uses an RFC connection SAPXPG_DBDEST_<hostname> which is generally automatically generated.

This RFC destination calls the sapxpg program which should exist in the SAP kernel directory.

Also,

Have a look at the following pre-requisites of running an external program.
