Patch 4 Problem - Missing irj folder

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have started installing EP6SP2 Patch 4. As per instruction, I was supposed to stop IRJ service in SAP J2ee engine services>deploy>servlet_jsp-->irj. After doing that I went ahead with installation and I got an error message "The execution of Stop/Start IRJ terminated with errors. The return code was 1".

I went and looked into SAP J2EE Engine and I'm surprised to note that there is no IRJ service and as well irj folder is also missing in the file structure. Does anyone have come across this. Kindly let me know what I should do to restore my portal as it not working now.

Regards,

Hi Praveen,

we are facing the same problem now. Had you fixed the problem yet?

Hi,

the only way to get your irj back is to redploy the irj.ear file manually. I did this a long time ago, so not sure if this still works. It happened indeed during a wrong upgrade procedure (not patch 4, but 2 I think).

Also, I don't remember having to stop the IRJ service for a patch installation (only KM requires this). To patch the portal you need to stop / start the entire J2EE engine.

Like Detlev said, I hope you have a backup.

How to install the IRJ service? I did install the SAP Portal Server kit with the MAX DB, I can open up the localhost:50000 and all the user management etc. My SAPMMC shows all the processes running.

However, I cannot access the portal through the browser

localhost:50000/irj gives error

Any help appreciated.

Thank you,
