NW04s preview - MMC requires WebService Authentification

[Former Member]

I have installed NW04s (after de-installing NW04) on XP. When I invoke START the mmc asks me for a password:

"Critical operations like starting or stopping a SAP instance ..."

User:

Password:

I have no idea which password is meant. I tried them all!

Then, I always get back: "Start failed: 2; Invalid credentials"

Somebody any idea?

welcome to SDN.

when the pop up comes for authentication provide the following

user: <your computer name>/nspadm

password: password given for nspadm when installting NW2004s

Hello Radja,

this was one of the things I tried (beside using my own user) Are there any special items which need to be considered on top?

The PC is not a network PC, i.e. no domain, but standard workgroup

OS is XP Home Edition. Although, the requirements say XP Pro the installation worked fine and the previous version worked also quite well with XP HE

Is there a problem, when there users w/o password?

Hey Stephan,

Here is another way to start and stop the system.

execute "startsap.exe" at the command prompt as follows to start the system:

startsap.exe name=NSP nr=00 SAPDIAHOST=(whatever you computer name is)

To stop the system just replace "startsap.exe" with "stopsap.exe".

No username or password required and you can still monitor the system in the SAPMMC.

These executables can be found in directory \usr\sap\NSP\DVEBMGS00\exe\.

Also to avoid typing these commands every time you can create a batch file for starting and stopping the system.

This is an older way of starting and stopping the system, but it works for me. I hope it works for you.

Cheers,

Hi Jim,

thanks for your hint! It seems that this is only possibility to get the system started. The only parameter which is missing is the parameter file ("pfl"-File). The system starts without parameter file. I am not sure whether the enqueue process has started.

Hi Raja,

Jim's hint is working, but I am still not satisfied that the system does not start using the MMC. Anyway!

Hi Jim,

thanks for the help!

I added the parameter pf=<path_profile><profile_name> to the sapstart command as described in the CCMS help!

Best regards,

Hi,

I also get the request for the password. I use user:

SAPServiceNSP with the password I used during install.

It looks very strange because I don't even have this user defined on the system anymore, but for me it works, therefore it's probably worth a try.
