Application Server Starting and then Stopping

[Former Member]

For some reason my NSP server is starting with MMC, but then after about a minute it stops again. Please see the log files below. It seems to be a database problem but I don't know how to fix it...

Ok I eventually figured it out... The SAP Application Server starts the database using the XUSER authentication - For some reason my system lost all settings for this.

In order to recreate, I had to use the command prompt and use the XUSER command.

Firstly "XUSER LIST" lists all user keys - I had none.

I then needed to set the default XUSER:

XUSER -d NSP -u SAPNSP,<password>

<password> is the password for the user specified

Then I created the "c" key:

XUSER -d NSP -U c -u SAPNSP,<password>

The reason I set up the "c" XUSER is because I noticed that in "\usr\sap\NSP\DVEBMGS00\exe\" there is a batch file used to start the DB - "strdbs.cmd". Inside this file it uses "c" as the user key in order to set the state of the DB.

After all of that it worked again...
