Cannot Start SAP

[Former Member]

I have an NW4 test drive running on linux/db2. It used to run well, and I don't remember changing anything.

However, I can no longer start SAP. The database is running , and I can connect using the CLP "db2" as sapsi4 and si4adm, and select from SAP tables.

However, running the <b>usr/sap/SI4/SYS/exe/run/startdb</b> script, specifically the line <b> R3trans -d -w xx.log</b> produces an error indicating a bad password.

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this, and what I could have done to cause the problem? Below is the output. Sorry if it isn't very readable.

4 ETW000 R3trans version 6.09 (release 640 - 28.04.04 - 16:14:00).

Hi,

The following might be the issues:

1.New Password restrictions have come up at your office.

2.Somebody changed the pwd`s.

3.License might have expired.
