ADS: Running ADS with non-supported platforms
Adobe document services (ADS) are currently not supported to run natively on all platforms supported by SAP systems based on SAP NetWeaver, in particular 64-bit platforms.
To use ADS in SAP landscapes set up on non-supported platforms, you have to install an additional stand-alone AS Java on a platform supported by ADS.
For more information, see SAP Note 925741.


-----------------------<D04147,04/APR/05>------------------------------
Additional OS requirements
The following operating system requirements have to be kept in mind:

  • HP-UX

           Make sure that the following C++ runtime version is installed: HP aC++ -AA runtime libraries (aCC A.03.50) or higher. In addition, the shared library 'libiconv.sl' has to be installed in directory /usr/local/lib.

           Adobe Document Services requires en_US.UTF-8 locale on Unix. This might not be installed by default.

  • AIX

           Make sure that the following C++ runtime version is installed:

           xlC.aix50.rte (version 6.0.0.11). Version 6.0.0. 14 does not work.

           If you apply ADS SP-12 or higher, xlC.aix50.rte (version 7. x and above ) is also supported.

AIX 64 bit: PATH must point to JDK/JRE 64 bit
If the operating system is AIX 64 bit, make sure that the PATH variable points to a JDK/JRE for AIX 64 bit. Otherwise SAPinst will not work.

------------------------<D034879 ,09/FEB/05>----------------------
Java: Instance profiles of already installed SAP systems
Before you install SAP Web AS Java (standalone or Add-In), you need to make sure that the names of the instance profiles of all SAP systems already installed on this host correspond to the SAP naming convention:
<SAPSID>_<instance_name>_<host_name>.
SAPinst creates instance profile names which correspond to this naming convention. So, normally you should not need to change anything. If you do not want to reset the names of the instance profiles to the SAP naming convention, you need at least to create soft links for these profiles to names which correspond to the SAP naming convention.

`---------------------------------------------------------------------

Cause:
This problem is caused by incorrect data which should have been removed from the source system before the export.

Solution:
There are two possible workarounds:

  1. 1. Modify DDL<dbs>.TPL (<dbs> = ADA, DB2, DB4, DB6, IND, MSS, ORA) BEFORE the R3load TSK files are generated;

              search for the keyword "negdat:" and add "CLU4" and "VER_CLUSTR" to this line.

  1. 2. Modify the TSK file (most probably SAPCLUST.TSK) BEFORE R3load import is (re-)started;

              search for the lines starting with "D CLU4 I" and "D VER_CLUSTR I" and change the status (i.e. "err" or "xeq") to "ign" or remove the lines.

Java: Inst. Guide correction: "Installing the SAP License"
Ignore the following wrong note and reference in section "Installing the SAP License" in the installation guides for SAP Web AS Java:
...
<Note>
If you installed a Java system as a prerequisite for the SAP Enterprise Portal installation, do not install the SAP license now. The license of the SAP Web AS Java system is automatically installed as part of the SAP Enterprise Portal installation. For more information, see "Solution Life Cycle Management --> SAP Licenses --> SAP License Keys --> SAP License --> Licensing the Portal" in the SAP Library [...].
...
Solution:
SAP Enterprise Portal is automatically licensed as the rest of the SAP NetWeaver platform by applying the license of SAP Web AS Java.
For more information, see the SAP Library at:
http://help.sap.com/ --> SAP NetWeaver 2004 --> SAP NetWeaver Library Solution Life Cycle Management --> SAP Licenses --> SAP License Keys

EB9  Batch scheduler: Unable to perform job
        COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFORMANCEMONITOR
ECL  > Cause: Planned start date too far in the past
ECM > Action: De-allocate batch job
Solution:
Re-schedule the job (for example, by copying the old one to SM37).

ERP-XSS: Errors in callSdmViaSAPinst.log
Symptom:
The installation of ERP 2004 SR1 java components finished successfully.
Nevertheless a pop-up requests to perform manual post-processing steps and to check callSdmViaSapinst.log., for example:
***********************************************************************
java.rmi.RemoteException: Error occurred while starting application sap.com/ess/tra/trp/trt and wait. ...
***********************************************************************
Cause:
The WebDynpro applications have a lazy starting mechanism. This means that they are started upon request. It is normal that some of them need to be stopped after server start. They will be started when a request is sent to them. The reason of the error messages listed in the log file is, that the applications were requested before the deployment of all referenced applications had finished. When a Web Dynpro application tries to start, it tries first to start all referenced components. The traces show that some of the applications are not available, because they were not deployed at that moment.
Solution:
You can ignore these error messages if you are able to start the applications listed in the error message manually.

SAP SCM 4.0 / SAP SCM 4.1: BW-specific post-installation steps
The following settings are necessary

  • for performing a client copy which is mandatory for using mySAP SCM and
  • to maintain a BW-client that is necessary for Demand Planning in mySAP SCM

Note that there are dependencies in the installation of SCM-Server and liveCache.
There are also issues when implementing SCM-Support Packages in one queue.

Carry out the following BW-specific post-installation steps:

  1. 1. Install the SCM Server.
  1. 2. Import additional languages (optional).
  1. 3. Apply all Support Packages except SCM-Support Packages
    Apply SCM Support Packages 1 - 10
    Note: It is important that SCM SP 7 and SCM SP 11 are not imported in one queue in order to prevent data loss. Between SCM SP 7 and SCM SP 11 you have to proceed as described below. Therefore you should apply SCM SP 1 - 10.
  1. 4. Create Logical System using transaction BD54.
  1. 5. Maintain a client and assign logical system to the new client using transaction SCC4.
    If you need more than one new client repeat the steps 4 and 5.
  1. 6. If the new client(s) should not be used in combination with liveCache (e.g. Lean-Installation), then the client(s) have to be marked as non liveCache relevant. To do so, execute report /SAPAPO/OM_NONPRODUCTIVE_CLNT and mark the new client(s) as not liveCache relevant.
    You should not execute the report for clients that will be used in combination with liveCache.
  1. 7. If any of the new clients will be used with liveCache, then
    1. a) Install LC as described in the liveCache Installation Guide and apply the latest liveCache-Builds.
    1. b) Create LCA/LDA connections for LC as described in the liveCache Installation Guide.
  1. 8. Logon to one of the new clients with
sap*/pass.
  1. 9. Copy client 000 using transaction SCCL with user profil
SAP_CUST (Customizing).
  1. 10. If one of the clients will be used with liveCache: Create RFC destination and RFC-User for global working on the liveCache, see SAP Note 305634.
  1. 11. Execute report
/SAPAPO/DELETE_LC_ANCHORS using transaction SE38.
  1. 12. Repeat the steps 8 to 11 for all new clients that have been created.
  1. 13. Set parameter
login/system_client = <one of the new clients (e.g. productive client)> in the default profile or in the instance profile(see also SAP Notes 116432 and 116520) and delete entry logon/system_client if it exists.
Do not change this profile setting after you executed step 16.
  1. 14. Stop and restart the system in order to activate the default profile.
  1. 15. Logon to the new client that was set in step 13.
  1. 16. Start transaction RSA1 and enter the logical system name of this client in the upcoming popup.
Note: It might be possible that you have to enter table RSADMINA anddefine the BW-client before you can execute RSA1.
  1. 17. Apply SCM Support Packages >= 11 (see step 3).

the java compiler as described in SAP Note 759669.

------------------------<D021063, 08/DEC/04>--------------------------
Timeout during starting up of J2EE engine
Symptom:
You start J2EE engine the first time. J2EE engine does not come up
until it runs into timeout
Reason:
Because of starting the first time, the J2EE engine takes more time
for getting synchronized from the database.
Solution:
Check if the engine is started actually. You can check this by
verifying the log file in the work directory of the instance.
If the engine is started, press 'Retry'. Then the engine comes up.


------------------------<D037196>, 26/NOV/04>---------------------------
Java: Strong Crypto deactivated after dialog instance installation
Symptom:
You have installed the SAP Java Cryptographic libraries and a Dialog Instance. Then the following problems arise:

  • The service com.sap.security.core.ume.service is not properly configured
  • The service SSL of the additional dispatcher is set to "manual"

Solution:

  1. 1. Open the visual configtool.
  1. 2. Switch to configuration editor mode.
  1. 3. Select "edit mode" and edit property sheet "pcluster_data/server/cfg/services/Propertysheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service"
  1. 4. Set entry "ume.usermapping.unsecure" to FALSE.
  1. 5. Set the startup mode of the service ssl to "always" for global dispatcher configurations and instance specific dispatcher configurations.

This bug is fixed with SP10.

Distributed installation: Check /etc/hosts.equiv and  SM59
Symptom:
Not sufficient sapxpg configuration causes CPIC errors
Solution:

  1. 1. Check entries for hostname and user of the central instance in file
    /etc/hosts.equiv
  1. 2. Add missing entries in SM59 -> TCP/IP Configuration ->
    SAPXPG_DBDEST_<dbhost> -> Gateway-options
    Gateway-Host
    Gateway-Service

------------------------<C5036314, 19/FEB/04>--------------------------
Java: OutOfMemoryError
Symptom:
OutOfMemoryError during installation of additional applications
Solution:
The reason may be that the standard perm size of your system is not sufficient for the Java Virtual Machine. In this case you have to increase the perm size as described in related SAP Note 693662.


------------------------<I024187, 04/FEB/04>--------------------------
Java: additional Java components cannot be accessed after redeployment
or upgrade of Web AS Java

-------------------------<D019628, 18/OCT/01>------------------------
ABAP+Java Add-In only: sapcpe in an High-Availability Environment
If you edited the file sapcpeft (for example, you added the lines
   R3trans   | Local copy
   cleanipc  | Local copy
   saposcol  | Local copy
as you wanted sapcpe to copy R3trans, cleanipc and saposcol locally to the corresponding host for High-Availability purposes), make sure to save these changes to sapcpeft before performing an SAP Kernel change and to add these changes again to the overwritten file sapcpeft after the kernel change.

-------------------------<D022860 09/JAN/01>------------------------
Incomplete path in .sapenv_<hostname>.sh
If you use the Bourne or Korn shell as the login shell for <sapsid>adm and starting/stopping the SAP System fails because startsap/stopsap is not found, this is probably due to an incomplete path specification in $HOME/.sapenv_< hostname>.sh.
To solve this problem, change the line
'for d in /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run; do'
to
'for d in /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run $HOME .; do'
in the file $HOME/.sapenv_<hostname>.sh.

-------------------------<D022825 17/NOV/00>------------------------
HP Tru64: SAP System does not start
If you have more than 3 GB of extended memory, it may occur that the SAP System can not be started due to missing free memory of class PERM. In this case, see SAP Note 217351.

-------------------------<C5020924 30/OCT/00>------------------------
HP Tru64 5.x: Replace saposcol after the installation
The saposcol on HP Tru64 5.x displays wrong values. Download a new version of saposcol from sapserv<X>. See SAP Note 351876 for more information.

-------------------------<D023035 18/OCT/00>------------------------
Linux: Replace saposcol after the installation
After installation, move (mv) the old version of the executable saposcol from /sapmnt/<SID>/exe to a save place. Then, replace saposcol in /sapmnt/<SID>/exe with the one which you can download from SAP Service Marketplace at: http://service.sap.com/swcenter-main. Make sure that you stop saposcol before. Adapt the file permissions for the new saposcol executable accordingly (owner root, group sapsys, permissions 4710).
When starting saposcol, you may get some error messages like "error: permission denied on key..." which can be ignored.
If saposcol won't start because of shared memory problems, try to restart R/3 (stopsap r3, startsap r3).

-------------------------<D029035 16/MAY/00>------------------------
ABAP+Java Add-In only:
Import Base, ABA Support Packages
Import at least the following Support Packages after the installation:
Base, ABA

5     High Availability (HA)

=================================================================

As of NW04 SR1, you can perform a high availability installation of your SAP Web Application Server. For more information, see SAP Note 803018 and SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/ha.

------------------------<d020990, 29/MAY/06>--------------------------
Install Replicated Enqueue Server for High Availability (HA)
If you want to install a high-availability system with switchover software, we strongly recommend you to install the standalone replicated enqueue server. This fully protects the enqueue server from failure.
For more information on how to install the replicated enqueue server, see:
help.sap.com -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver 2004 -> English -> SAP NetWeaver -> Application Platform -> ABAP Technology -> Client/Server Technology -> The SAP Lock Concept -> Standalone Enqueue Server -> Installing the Standalone Enqueue Server

Note: in an HA system, the cluster is automatically and cleanly stopped when the host running the enqueue server fails. This feature is available from SAP Web AS 6.40 SP15. This means you no longer need to reset open transactions or enqueue locks because the system does it for you. This feature is available whether or not you have installed the standalone replicated enqueue server.

-----------------------<D041479 ,21/JUN/05>------------------------
Change startup mode of IIOP service
If, after installing Adobe Document Services, you are not able to connect to address
           http://<host>:<port> /AdobeDocumentServices/Config

           error message: "Cannot start service com. adobe~DataManagerService; it has hard reference to service iiop with manual startup mode."

           

You need to change the startup mode of the IIOP service in the configuration tool of the J2EE engine to ALWAYS.
