SAP instance not starting

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have installed WAS 6.40 following all installation steps while starting MMC I get following error

GetProcessList Failed.

Then in MMC node containing Process List and Process table

shows Critical state (Yellow). Under this node when I click on Process List. The right pane shows jcontrol.exe in Unknown State(gray) and igswd.exe in error-free state(green).

I get following error in developer trace of jcontrol.exe

• ERROR => invalid return code of process [bootstrap] (exitcode=-2) [jstartxx.c 1350]

JControlExecuteBootstrap: error executing bootstrap node [bootstrap] (rc=-2)

JControlCloseProgram: good bye... (exitcode=-2)

Has Anybody faced such problem? What is solution?

This happened to me as well, just now. I am using the 6.40 Sneak Preview.

1. Yesterday I shutdown my J2E System in MMC, as normal.

2. This morning, on opening MMC, I immediately get a dialog "GetProcessList Failure=80004005 error unknown".

3. If I try to start the J2E system, the DB and <host>1 start okay, but the <host> 0 node stays gray.

4. Now, with it half started, STOP the J2E system.

5. Now START the J2E system again and all processes do start successfully.

6. Close your MMC, say NO to "Save Console settings?", and on next open it still gives the 80004005 error. Click okay, you can see all your processes are running.

7. In the MMC, open a node and click on a child node (this causes MMC to prompt to save Console Settings when you close it). Close MMC and this time say "Yes" to save settings.

8. Now on the next MMC start there is no error message.

These steps worked for me anyway. Incidentally I am using using JDK 1.4.2_03b2.

Hello,

Just for info, I also experienced the same problem. I installed the Sneak Preview on day 1 and everything started up fine (all boxes green in the SAP Management Console).

I try to start it up again on day 2 and the Message Server, Enqueue Server start up ok (2 first boxes green). However, the J2E engine does not want to start up anymore. Error message in Development trace = 'Cannot change privileges'. Re-installed many times (even Java SDK) but nothing helps anymore.

I use the Java SDK version j2sdk1.4.2_03 as described in the documentation. I will try te re-install everything again with a higher SDK version.

Hello Joel,

The error message that you have will be fixed if you change jstartup/trimming_properties = off in the instance profile of the J2EE Engine. I suppose that its value is standard at the moment.

Kind Regards

Hi Sharad,

obviously, the bootstrap process cannot go through.

Is there a chance that the DB is not online and you try to start the server? You can check the DB state from the MMC.

If this is not the case, you can have a look at the developer trace for the bootstrap process. You can find it in the following directory: <drive>:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\work -> dev_bootstrap file.

Good luck!

Dear Ivaylo Ivanov,

I did find the error in file dev_bootstrap

last two lines are

JLaunchIAbortJava: abort hook is called

JLaunchCloseProgram: good bye (exitcode=-2)

but what next? how to solve it?

I don't find any good luck.

Hi Sharad,

you're right, those messages do not tell much

Anyway, you should also have a log file called log_bootstrap_ID<some_id>.0.log in the same directory where the dev_boostrap file is located. It should contain the exception stacktrace. Can you provide those (paste them here) and see if we can figure out something?

Hi Ivaylo Ivanov,

I found out the reason, It was due to JVM problem.

Now its running after reinstalling j2sdk1.4.2_05

Another problem which is within WebDynpro Tool applications. if I click on to go to <b>content administrator</b> in following page(http://localhost:<port>/welcome/welcome.jsp)

I get following error.

<i>com.sap.tc.webdynpro.repository.RepositoryException: Failed to load application 'com.sap.tc.webdynpro.tools.explorer.Explorer' from repository.</i>

Any clues?

Hi Sharad,

sorry, but I can't help with that error within WebDynpro.

It'll be a good idea to post your question in the WebDynpro forum - the experts there will most probably come up with an answer.

Best regards,

Ivo
