Error installing Dialog instance with SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 ABAP+JAVA

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our landscape details:

OS: AIX 5.3 ML 7

DB: Oracle 10g

Node A

SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 ABAP+JAVA

Runs : ASCS11, SCS21, DB instance, CI instance

Node B

SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 ABAP+JAVA

Will Run : Dialog instance 2

Also, Node A will failover to Node B, ie, at failover Dialog instance

on Node B will be stopped and AEP will start running on Node B.

We have installed SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 on Node A (HA)and have tested

(manually)the failover sucessfully. Now we are trying to install the

Dialog instance on Node B but we get the following error:

INFO 2008-08-28 11:05:02 [iaxxcmsclient.cpp:112]

Also, we are unable to install the Dialog instance on a different Node C. The error is same in both the cases. We have mounted the following mount points from SAN onto the dialog instance:

/sapmnt/AEP/profile

/sapmnt/AEP/global

/sapmnt/AEP/exe

/usr/sap/trans

We have checked and implemented SAPNotes: 821875, 972262 but no luck!

Please advice at the earliest.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Preetha,

I am facing the same error message "rdisp/msserv_no not possible. You need a newer message server" when trying to do a Java Add-In Installation on a Solution Manager 4.0 ABAP System during the Step "Central Services Instance (SCS) Java Add-In".

- What exactly did you change in the control.xml file to overcome this error?

- Have you got a valuable response from SAP to your OSS message regarding this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

just search in your sapinst master for that file.

sapinst will copy control.xml to local inst directory each time you run new option

Hi,

Have you mount you swap folder or permission.

Please check it.

Thanks for your response,

We did check everything from the ports being in use to the filesystems to be mounted. The installation was unable to read the value for the dummy parameter rdisp/msserv_no from any of the profiles.

As a final try we edited the control.xml file and manully set the value for this parameter to the message server port and the installation went through. We have raied an OSS message with SAP for any impacts due to this change.

Thanks again for your help!

hi.

for me it looks like that the installer is not able to find the message server's port.

did you mount the profile directory, the global one (cdglo) on the second server?

and i am not sure if you have to mount exe at this stage...

another possibility could be that the message server port from server a is in use on server b.

best regards,

martin
