Saposcol is not running

[Former Member]

We have the ECC 5.0 installed on the HP UX. When ever I am trying to run the t-code ST06 for the application server of the production , I am getting one message "SAPOSCOL is busy ,try again". I am able to get the run the ST06 for other application servers.

The current version what we have for Saposcol is : Version: COLL 20.87 640 - hpxOscol 07/2003.

It will be a great favour if anybody can provide me the steps from the scrach in how to run the SAPOSCOL.

1) login as <sid>adm

ps -ef | grep saposcol

3) go to /sapmnt/NPD/exe

Check if saposcol file is existing

Check the owner and the permission of the file

To start SAPOSCOL with the command saposcol (or saposcol -l).
