Hi,
after a huge Problems, i was able to install the Application Server,
but it wouldn't start up.
At SAPInst Phase "Install instance basis" the SAP Service doesn't start.
Log Browser show errors like
Execution of command "C:\usr\sap\.......
finished with return code -1. Service not started.
On the Windows EventViewer are these errors
The description for EventID (0) Source (SAP???_??) cannot be found. The local
computer may not have the nessesary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE=flag
to retrieve the description. See Help and Support for details. The following information is
part of the event:
Cannot open Profile on
<SAPHOST>\sapmnt\<SID>\SYS\profile\START_D<instance>_<localhost>
<..> are correct Values in error message. How ever, the Service is installed with user SAPSe<SID>.
Currently, i'm logged on as <SID>adm. I can map these path via Explorer.exe without any logon promts.
I can see and open the file. I added the User SAPSe<SID> to the folder and file permissions and
gave all rights, but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
