SAPHOSTAGENT not getting started

[Former Member]

Hi

In our system, we have SAPHOSTAGENT installed. But the SAPHOSTAGENT is not getting started automatically.

If we start it manually by using the command saphostexec -restart, it is giving the following error.

[ERROR] Profile permission violation. (usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/host_profile)

Can anyone please help me with starting SAPHOSTAGENT.

We are on IBM iSeries and DB2.

Awaiting your inputs.

Regards,

Ram.

Yes. I am with Srikishan. Host agent should be started/stopped with root. Please check permissions of /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/host_profile as well.

Thanks,

Hi,

The SAP Host agent starting/stopping commands are mentioned here. The executable can be run by root user only (as root is the owner after installation by default). Try running the commands with root access.
