Visual Composer on SAP CE 7.1 fails to start with missing manifest file

31 Views

Hi All,

I have installed a SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 and deployed the configuration template for the complete stack. I wanted to access the VC on the following URL

http://myhost:501000/VC

The login page appears and I enter a user with all needed privileges (Administrator) then the VC bails out with a popup message stating:

Failed to open workspace due to the following error:

Kits manifest is bad or missing

In the log directory of the cluster I found the following lines right before the first java exception that led to the VC failing to start.

#000C29361F67001A00000002000005F801F890B616AD3BB1#1192131467531#com.sap.lcr.pers.jdbc.common.common.AbstractCRJdbcPersistence#sap.com/com.sap.lcr#com.sap.lcr.pers.jdbc.common.common.AbstractCRJdbcPersistence#Administrator#11#SAP J2EE Engine JTA Transaction : [0ffffffd8ffffffb5ffffff8a003ffffff83]###67b81480783111dcbfe7000c29361f67#Application [13]##0#0#Error##Plain###Thrown:

AND "TYP" = ?" contains the semantics error[s]: - 1:116 - the table or view >>BC_SLD_NAMESP<< does not exist

Can anyone tell me on how to get that VC up and running? Did I forget something to deploy or did I miss a configuration step?

Any hint highly appreciated,

Christian
