Problems with starting jstart.EXE (help for/from anyone needed!)

1354 Views

Dear all,

the last days I have spent some time trying to install CE7.1 and also CE711 EHP1. The installation itself worked great: no errors were reported during intallation. But somehow the instance CE1 never starts up completely. As I have found out, and so do many many many others, the problem lies in starting "jstart.EXE" (Please check your SAP Management Console: CE1 => matrix 0 => Process List).

The following behaviours I have monitored:

1. When trying to start the CE1 instance jstart.EXE tries to start but stops after a while. So the J2EE Server is not started. This behaviour is monitored and reported by many posts here at SDN, but it seems that "final" solution has been posted, which is valid for anyone. At least non of the hints could help me.

2. I have monitored that the status of jstart.EXE seems to hang at status "Starting the processes" (I have waited more than 25 minutes).

To all the experienced and anyone else:

PLEASE post all you hints here! This issues seems to be a very common issue and is not really solved. Other posts did not help me so far.

In my case (case 2 from above) I can provide the following information:

Today (December 3rd, 2008) I have installed CE7.1_SR5. Hardware requirements are fullfilled by 100%.

I have to mention that I have installed some old CE or NW J2EE version on the same system like about one year ago, and I uninstalled it after only one week.

Maybe what the jstart.EXE problems are somehow related to the license: does the "uninstallation" leave some data back in the system, which could be used by later installs in order to check the license (wich is only a 90 day license)?

Who can help?

What is your experience with jstart.EXE?

Any help is very welcome. I am sure not only for me!

Thanks,
