Visual Admimistrator wont connect to NW2004s Java ABAP on Linux VMware

My VA wont connect to the server giving the following trace in /j2ee/admin/log/traces/visual_administration.0.trc:

#1.5#C0007F0000010008000000010000C550000444EEE28D5508#1201692700661#com.sap.engine.services.adminadapter.gui.tasks.LoginTask##com.sap.engine.services.adminadapter.gui.tasks.LoginTask#######Thread[Thread-61,6,main]##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server/VisualAdministrationTool#Java###Error while trying to login to localhost: Cannot create new RemoteLoginContext.

The server is the NW2004s SP9 Java and ABAP stack on VMware from SDN. The J2EE server starts up OK I can access it via http://localhost:8042 and 54200 and use the admin apps. SystemInfo

displays the dispatcher ports as:

HTTP Port: 54200

HTTPS Port: 54201

P4 Port: 54204

Telnet Port: 54208

I've tried connecting VA using a direct connection to the dispatcher on ports 54200,54204,8042 and it gets to around 70% in the progress bar

and says 'Cannot open connection on host: 127.0.0.1 and port: 54200'.

I checked J2EE_ADMIN has the SAP_J2EE_ADMINISTRATOR role in SU01 and the password is correct, and the user is unlocked.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Has anyone managed to connect VA to the 2004s Java ABAP stack on VMware?

If I connect using the default connection settings pre-defined in VA I get a different exception in the trace file:

#1.5#C0007F000001000200000001011B1D80000444EF9797DBF8#1201695738026#com.sap.engine.services.adminadapter.gui.tasks.LoginTask##com.sap.engine.services.adminadapter.gui.tasks.LoginTask#######Thread[Thread-16,6,main]##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server/VisualAdministrationTool#Java###Error while trying to login to localhost: null

which seems to imply it has connected OK.

I was thinking the exception sounded like the JVM on VMware might be causing the problem. As I couldnt figure out how to install a new one I FTP'd the j2ee/admin/* directory tree to a Windows PC and managed to connect successfully from there with the same settings.

I find it incredible that SAP can supply a VMware instance that has so many problems to overcome before it even works. Isn't that the point of supplying it with VMware...

Hi Steve,

use the port number as 5xx04.The host name as ur host name and if it is an add-in installation then use

j2ee_admin else use administartor and the password for it.

I think your instance number is 42 so while logging in visual admin you have to uset the port 54204.

Reward points if helpfull.

Vamshi,

If you read my post I've already done that and still get the error connecting.
