Cannot Start SI4 After New License

Former Member
0 Kudos

I have a test drive version of NW 4 running on Suse 9.2 Linux and db2. It ran fine for 3 months. Yesterday I installed a new license because the old one expired. I installed it as root while the db was running.

This morning, I cannot start sap, because the database won't start.

The following is the output of R3trans. Can anyone give me any suggestions on things to try to resolve it?

Hello Jerry

Did you run startsap ?

Which transactions did you use after the installation of the new license ?

It is possible that I have the same problem with a new license.

many greetings from fritz

Yes, startsap is the base script, which calls other scripts, R3trans and db2start.

I didn't have any luck. I did find an indication on an IBM website that the error message related to the fact that the db2 license had expired. There is a command called "db2licm" which you can run to update the db2 license, but I couldn't find a license file.

I wonder if IBM imposes it's own license expiration separate from SAP's, and that IBM require a re-install. So, I gave up and just re-installed it. Oh well, re-installing is good practice.

Sorry I couldn't help you.
