Root Cause Analysis (OS and DB - OS Command Console) Connection problem!

Dear Community,
i've got a problem with the Root Cause Analysis OS Command console!
Currently I try to read the System MemStat info from the console, without success!
I've got the following errors:
Error1:
Error to parse the data returns by 'SAPOSCol', cause :com.sap.smd.plugin.remoteos.exception.SAPOSColDataParserException: Unknown Error during the parsing of saposcol output; nested exception is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Error2:

The saposcol service is running, when I look on the server, I've got the correct status:

I suggest you upgrade your saposcol on the Linux box, it's more than a year old and it's possible, that the SMD client needs a newer version that provides the data you're requesting.

What is the diff of Solution monitoring and E2E Root cause analysis

Hi,
I want to know what is the different for Solution Manager Solution Monitoring and End to End root cause analysis. Currently we have implemented change management and Implementing and Upgrading SAP Solutions, if i would like to explore the solution monitoring, and end to end root cause analysis, what is the steps of configuration i need?
if i would like to have a check on the system whether is performing well, or setup the functionality of sending alert when system is having problem, which feature would be better? end of end functionality or Solution Monitoring?
Please advice..
thanks
-Fung

Hi,
If you have PI system in your landscape, I would strongly recommend to upgrade to SP15.
Trace monitoring for PI is to be available from SP17 (Not yet released)

Root Cause Analysis - Breakpoints in ABAP

Gurus ,
We had this breakpoints in the ECC - datasource extractors which got transported in the production and I have been given the task to identify the root cause analysis as to why was it not caught in dev,qa and testing.
can any one share their experience as to how to avoid this negligence and the additional steps required to ensure this does not happen again ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
To identify the break points and avoid the transport of breakpoints. U can run the extended program check and there you can find in EPC error in superfluous statements the break points present in ur report.

Vasanth

How to do E2E root cause analysis?

Gurus:
Could you provide some "how-to" guides here about how to do E2E root cause analysis?
I have NO problem with E2E set up. My problem is after setting up, how to use it to do E2E root cause analysis?
Thanks!

Building and deploying J2EE apps ? Now there is a solution for production root cause analysis.

Is your organization building and deploying J2EE apps? If so, Halo
can help solve one of the toughest issues facing enterprises today:
Finding the root cause of software faults.
"Halo monitors, pinpoints, reports on and provides a source-code level
root cause of software faults in deployed J2EE apps. Halo is unique
because it's the only technology that can give you a root cause
diagnosis in a fully deployed, live production application. Halo has
such low performance overhead that customers deploy their final,
production versions of their applications with Halo enabled.
Used with Web Application Servers like WebLogic, Halo helps ensure
that deployed code is reliable and able to be quickly fixed if
problems turn up. Most important, because Halo is an "always on"
technology, you get all the information you need to rapidly solve a
problem on the first fault. Problem replication and bug reports are
obsolete with Halo
"Halo has a unique ability to provide a root cause diagonosis and
understanding
of software problems in production systems, without needing to
replicate the
issue.
Test on WebLogic proved that Halo runs with extremely low overhead and
is suitable for use in deployed production systems"
Andrew Sliwkowski, Software Engineer
BEA Systems, Inc.
The key is Halo's high performance, low overhead TraceBack
instrumentation technology. Based on technology out of MIT and proven
in the field, TraceBack enables you to instrument JARs, EARs and WARs
within minutes, without touching source code.
Halo is useful throughout the entire application life cycle, from
development through test, beta and deployment.

I have two questions. We have just started developing apps using jdev9i, 9iAS v2 and are new to the j2ee environment so my questions may be very easy ones.
Question 1: We have set up Oracle pooling connection to our databases. We have a development, test and production database. When I deploy my application, it includes the connections. This is preventing me from moving the EAR files from dev to test to prod without modification and re deploying to my EAR file. Is there a way or a place that I can put my database connections that will not be included in my EAR files and the application still find them?datasources.xml is where the info regradings connection to databases is licated. If you're using 9iAS
you can use EM to create datasource entry at the global level. In OC4J standalone you could use admin.jar
or edit the file. Check out the standalone user's guide at http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/pdf/oc4j_so_usersguide_r2.pdf.
Also, you will othe OC4J docs on OTN.
Question 2: I have a stand alone oc4j set up for our developers to use while testing their applications. The applications include libraries supplied in jdev such as xml parser v2. I do not want to deploy those lib files with the app because I will have to redeploy all my apps if I upgrade jdev. I just want to be able to upgrade the libraries, test the apps and not have to redeploy everything. I can do this by coping the jdev lib to 9iAS but I can't seem to find the right place to put the lib for the stand alone oc4j instance. You can use the library tag within application.xml for server wide availability. Check out the article
http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/02-sep/o52oc4j_2.html specifically class loading in OC4J section
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Tools for root cause analysis of stack corruption?

I'm experiencing extremely rare stack corruption that results in SEGV core dumps for a large and complex C++ program. Having run all the standard tools such as IBM Rational Purify, Sun mdb/libumem and dbx/rtc (although unfortunately using dbx check -access takes inordinately long and eventually crashes before the main() function is executed), I am no closer to discovering the root cause of the stack corruption. I'm confident based on the tools run and on the stack trace from the core dump that the problem is not heap corruption, but stack corruption.
The environment is Sun Studio 12 (but not update 1) on Solaris 10 on SPARC. The program is compiled with minor optimisation (-xO2 -xbuiltin=%all).
Is anyone aware of other tools or approaches that could help pinpoint the problem? Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Simon

If you are in fact having stack corruption issues, I don't think any of the tools you mentioned other than Purify would help you identify it.
You may also be simply running out of stack space, and not having corruption issues. Is your app multi-threaded? If so, you could increase the stack size your threads use to something larger than the default.
Another thing you can look for are syslog entries stating "no swap space to grow stack" for your process, you've run out of virtual memory. To avoid this, you can "pre-allocate" your stack memory with code similar to this:
void growStack( size_t bytes )
    char *mem = ( char * ) alloca( bytes );
    memset( mem, 0, bytes );
    return;
}That code, when called, will force the creation of stack memory virtual pages backed by swap, before your server gets into a situation where free memory might be in short supply.
I also seem to recall that Solaris under certain circumstances will allocate stack memory with the MAP_NORESERVE option, which means swap space won't be reserved for your stack. If your process gets swapped out, its stack(s) will be lost and you'll probably get a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS. See this bug:
[http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=1221729|http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=1221729]
I remember working a similar issue for a customer running large apps on Sun E15Ks, maybe about 5 years ago. To work around this behavoir, I think you'll need to explicitly allocate stack memory for any threads you may be creating. I think that's what we had to do.

Problem with E2E Root Cause analysis in EHP1

Hi All,
I'm facing a very strange problem with using the E2E RCA functionality in EHP1. The problem is when I select the systems that I want to analyse and click on a functionality such as change analysis, I get the following error message in SAP GUI:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.
I'm fairly sure that this is a connectivity problem because it only happens on my client machines which are behind the firewall. If I connect to solution manager without going trough the firewall I can access the application. I have checked all firewall logs and it is not blocking anything. I also did a trace using wireshark but could not find anything suspicious.
Has anybody faced this problem? Any suggestions to resolve the problem?
Cheers,
Masoud

CF8 and SQL Server Express 2005 connection problem

Hi. I'm new to SQL Server (I'm running Express 2005 SP2 on
Vista - local machine) and I can't seem to connect to my datasource
with CF Admin. I submit the following information to CF Admin:
CF Data Source Name: MySampleDB
Database: MySampleDB
Server: MyMachine\MSSMLBIZ Port: 1433
User name: Me
Password: **********
I get the following error:
Connection verification failed for data source: MySampleDB
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]No
more data available to read.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]No more data available to read.
Log On is using built-in account: Local System
Here's what else i have done so far:
I have tried using 127.0.0.1 as the server
I made sure Windows firewall had an exception to allow port
1433
I tried ports 1434 and 8500
I made sure TCP/IP is enabled in SSCM protocols
I even tried leaving the username and pwd blank and I get the
following message:
Connection verification failed for data source: MySampleDB
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433.
Reason: Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to
host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Thanks in advance for
your help!
-Kris

Hi,
The port might have been blocked. Try setting a new port for
your sqlserver. That may work for you.
(Because SP2 always blocks port 1433)

URGENT : MS SQL Server and SAP BW 3.5 Connection problem....

Hello All,
How ya all doin ?
I got job as a fresher, and now we are facing some problem here with
the datasource creation / generation. We have already generated views
& DSs for some tables, for some views we can see the data in the
datasource in the BW datasources but for some views it is giving
information NO DATA IN THE TABLE for that we can see the data in the
DB Table in MS SQL Server using select ......
Kindly help with this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance....
Best Regards....
Sankar Kumar

Hello Sankar,
Thanks...
For Varchar(500) you can try this way.
When you are getting data from DBConnect, include that VARCHAR(500) field in view (so this includes this field to be in transfer structure). But don't map any transfer rules for this field (This avoids the problems to be raised by DB Connect).
Create a Start Routine in the Transfer Rules. In this routine, you can access your VARCHAR(500) field. (I don't know what is your requirement for VARCHAR(500) field with respect to reporting perspective.)
One way is create 9 InfoObjects with char(60). Then parse the varchar(500) field and assign to InfoObject1, InfoObject2 so on....
Another way is, create a table using se11. With key fields to identify individual comments, comment Line number and actual comment. Parse varchar field and insert into this table. Based on your requirement either create a generic extractor using this table and load the data into ODS. Then you can join this ODS and rest of the data ODS and display. or write an ABAP program to show as report using this table...
Hope this helps,
GSM.

   I've got updated isagents installed on each system
Wily
   Currently at the latest release and our Solution Manager system is connected
SMD Agents
   each server/LPAR has an agent installed and is attached
I'd like to finish this up but again I am missing something?!?
Thanks for any help on this one.

Airport express and printer samsung ml 1670 connection problem

Hallo.
I'm trying to set up my printer Samsung ML-1670 on my network linking it directly on my Airport Express Base Station.
I've already tried the printer connecting it directly to my pc via usb port and it works. The Bonjour software recognize it correctly and install it on my pc. When I print the error message is: "The Port is not connected. Check it."
I've already tried to check the windows firewall settings to be sure the port is open. I switched it off to be sure but no changes.
I've tried the configuration via "add printer" feature directly, via Bonjour: no result.
Furthermore my iPhone doesn't see the printer as well, even if connected to the base and switched on.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
Claudio

Bonjour is the new name for Rendezvous.
10.3 still refers to Rendezvous.

APEx '03 and Non-Apple Wireless Client Connection Problems

Good morning. I have a 2003 vintage AirPort Extreme, running 5.5.1 firmware (due to the issues with the newer firmware discussed on this forum).
--> Wired iMax
My setup is DSL-->APEx--|
--> Apple Wireless Clients
--> Linksys w54 acting as a bridge
In order to get the Linksys working in the first place, I had to remove the WEP, not a huge deal as we live in the boonies and no one within range of the APEx. I couldn't figure out how to get anything to work with Apple wireless security outside of the Family. I have it manually set to channel 1, and radio mode to G only.
My problem basically is that non-Apple devices can see the SSID but cannot connect. The problem at hand are my kids' various PSPs & Ninendo DS's, and a little Windows CE netbook. Of course, none of these simple devices give anything helpful in terms of errors. Those three different devices all have their own version of the same error: See the SSID, try to connect, but fail.
I'd like to figure out this problem, although the simpler solution might be to just buy another cheap Linksys on craiglist and use it for the non-Apple stuff.

Bump?
