Help - how to reset DDIC during installation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am completely new to installing NW for ABAP and am trying to install a 1610 system using SWPM.

It stops at starting instance and the error log reflects what is shown in this note.

How can I reset the DDIC password during the installation - can I use the Linux command line? Obviously the installation has not completed so I have no access to SAPGUI or SU01.

For me it looks like an issue with your system in general, not with the DDIC password.

Look at this fragment:

Instance DEV/D01 reached state UNKNOWN afterhavingstateSTARTING.Givingup.
ERROR 2017-08-2409:00:40.969(root/sapinst)id=controller.stepExecuted errno=FCO-00011

It looks like the system doesn't start. And in my opinion that's why it can't connect.

Please paste dev_disp and dev_w0 log files and let's solve the mystery 🙂

I figured it out - I had to set rdisp/tolerate_loopback_addr = true in DEFAULT.PFL and then it worked
