Cannot Start NW4 on Linux/DB2

[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.

Hi Jerry,

1. Check if the I.P address has been changed.

2. CHeck if your company has imposed pwd. restrictions.

3. Check the License.

4. Check the DNS server(if the I.P-Hostname is ok of your server).
