Create setup package failed

Question

Hello,
I try to create a setup package in NetWeaver Mobile Administrator. I created a device configuration with the framework and one with DB2E and  XMAM application.
I assigned this to a hierarchy and added the technical user mi_service.
When I create a package it stops and in the log viewer I see :
0050 tc.mobile.admin.bl  172815 20070223 Retrieving device id failed.
In the step before (which is OK) I see:
0070 tc.mobile.admin.bl  172812 20070223 Set the communication server port to 45001
Which port is this? Don't know this one...
Anyone else got this problem?
Kind regards,
jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
when you do setup package creation leveraging the NWMA you have to use a platform based on WIN32. Say your J2EE needs to run on a Windows 32 Box. If you run your J2EE on a different platform you can setup an additional J2EE for SPC. Refer to the how to guides section for doing so (e.g. for NW04 see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80046076-a387-2910-4ba2-c009be46ab60).
What SPC does is simulating a typical user installation, say it installs a client on the J2EE, syncs to get a device ID, syncs again to get apps and data. In the end all gets packed together.
If you get the error that the device ID cannot be received it can have several reasons:
- Client cannot startup on the J2EE (e.g. unsupported platform)
- Services not correctly enabled in SICF (e.g. not active, wrong service user/password)
What you can do is check in the SPC Folder on the J2EE for the temporary installation folder and check the client traces, they will typically point you to a solution. Since SP19, I guess, these logs can as well be downloaded in the NWMA (where typically the setup package would be ready for download).
Hope this helps,
Thomas
PS: If you keep stuck may post the log files of your tmp client
