MS security patch KB912883 / MS06-10 cauisng J2EE to crash

33 Views

I am running EP6.0 sp15 on NW '04 sp15 on J2SDK1.4.2_12 on WIN2003 SP1 (32bit load balanced system).

After applying MS security patch KB921883 / MS06-40, our dialogue server instance will not start at all. The central instance on the same machine as the SCS (message/enque server) still starts and runs fine.

This is unlike a java heap or license issue which I have tested at all the reccomended settings. The jlaunch.exe's never even start up in the MMC. It fails at the jcontrol.exe within seconds of start with an exit code of -2 in the developer trace.

We have been in contact with MS and are trying to get in touch with someone in SAP (with no success). According to MS, the netapi32.dll was changed by the patch. After removing the patch, the system starts/runs correctly.

Please forgive my ignorance and any mistakes in terminology as I have a hard time keeping up with what naming standards are used.

I have looked at note 664607 and 129813 but I am not sure what it means or if it truly applies in this case.

1. Does anyone have a recommended solution?

2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem (as I think it would be quite prevalent)?
