IGS Patch

Hello Guru's
I am new in sap Basis Admin and facing a problem that our igswd.exe service is not started in Development server,please any one guide me how to check the present IGS patch level in my development system.
Thanks in advance,
Gajendra

Hai,
Please go through the SAP Notes 931900:
There are two ways in which you can call the IGS monitoring page:
Using the RFC listener: Start the relevant system and open transaction SA38 (or SE38). Start the GRAPHICS_IGS_ADMIN report and select the corresponding RFC destination. See also Note 995471.
Using the HTTP listener: Call the http://<IGS Host>:<IGS Port> page in the browser, for example: http://localhost:40080. See also Notes 965201 and 959358.
The version number is displayed on the initial page. The penultimate character is the patch level of the IGS. Click the status to go to the status page and check whether the patch level of REGISTERED_PORTWATCHER and REGISTERED_INTERPRETER matches the patch level on the initial page.
With older versions, the version information is not contained on the initial page. Only carry out the check on the status page here.
Also check SAP Note 718267 to apply patch to IGS.

Yoganand.V

Hi,
Check this link which may help u:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/igs-upgrade-1455477
The installation/upgrade procedures for the integrated IGS are as follows:
Integrated Version Installation
The integrated IGS is automatically installed with the SAP Web Application Server.
Integrated Version Upgrade
You find the upgrade files for the integrated IGS version on the SAP Service Marketplace:
http://service.sap.com/swdc ® Download ® Support Packages and Patches ® Entry by ApplicationGroup ® SAP Frontend Components ® SAP IGS ® SAP IGS .
There, you find the IGS executables and libraries (igsexe_.sar) as well as the IGS folder structure (igshelper_.sar) containing among others font files.
With the upgrade files of the executables and libraries, proceed exactly like you would with kernel patches (for example, extract the Archive to the same location). More information about kernel patches can be found in the related note 19466 in the section Copying and Installing a Patch.
The upgrade files for the IGS folder structure must be extracted to the instance directory (DIR_INSTANCE). More information can be found in note 1028690.
After a restart of the Web AS the new IGS is up and running.
Information about finding out your IGS patch level is provided in note 931900.
For an upgrade of an integrated IGS please also check note 896400.
For more info check this SAP Help doc:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4b/72d43ac66e1f08e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Hope these helps u...

IGS Config Problem: ListenerRfc::Abort - Help Please!

Hello,
I've been working with getting IGS installed and working and can't figure out what's wrong. the install came back successful. I've gone through and fixed, and tested, my SM59 definitions. Gone through OSS and looked at the recommended notes, etc. (all the usual stuff). Now I'm getting desperate!)
Here's the message our app gets via the www query trying to get graphs:
"IGS: Error When Calling Up IGS (ListenerRfc: unknown error)"
Here's what I've done to date:
1. re-installed it (on my BW C/I - same host - which is an ABAP instance ONLY)
2. corrected the default SM59 defintions (set them to what's spec'd in the igs.xml file) and tested them out.
3. manually started and stopped it
4. In troubleshooting the MUX - here's what I get from the log mux_"sap-bid1.trc"
[Thr 3342] Sat Dec 24 10:49:08 2005
[Thr 3342] [ListenerRfc::Abort] Aborted
[Thr 3342] [ListenerRfc::Cleanup] Cleaned up
[Thr 258] [ListenerRfc::DispatchRfc] returned with Abort()
Which tells me my ListenerRfc isn't "hearing" the request for graphics yes?
So how to I configure it - ListenerRfc - if that is indeed the problem?

Resolved - AFTER IGS patch 10 application, IGS was looking for gfwchart (versus gfwchart.tpl - see below)
Fixed it by renaming the file...
sap-bid1:bidadm 10> more chart_11054d91098584_5.trc
Can't find config file /usr/sap/BID/DVEBMGS00/igs/conf/gfwchart
sap-bid1:bidadm 11> cd /usr/sap/BID/DVEBMGS00/igs/conf/
sap-bid1:bidadm 12> ls
dev_sapstart gfwchart.tpl igs.xml xmlchart.tpl

IGS Trace file growth problem

Hello,
In /usr/sap/SID/Instance/igs/log i i found the following file - wd_<SID>.trc - this trace file keeps on growing to a very large size - i would like to stop this file from growing - i already set the igs/tracelevel parameter to 0 but the file keeps on growing - how do i stop it?
Regards,
Moshe

Hi Moshe,
have you performed a system restart after setting igs/tracelevel to 0?
what is the content of the file wd_<SID>.trc. Maybe there is a general problem when starting the IGS and an IGS patch solves the issue.
Regards
Matthias

Kernel Patch questions

Sorry but it has been a while. After reading all the kernel threads, I still have a few kernel patch questions.
1) Sequencing - Does it matter what sequence I apply all the patches? Alphabetic order? Date sequence? Always finish with DW?
2) Versioning info - some commands have a -v parameter to tell what version you currently have. Some don't. Is there some way to find out versioning info for all potential patches?
3) Marketplace - I see there is a "complete" kernel on the marketplace now (albeit in two parts). However it's never current. It looks like the hot setup to download that and patch that and then slip that in. Does everyone agree with that assessment?
4) Yes, I know the truly hot setup would be to contract with Volker to get s fully patched CD but since we were stuck on 4.0B for so long, I haven't had a chance to keep my skills up to date. This looks like a good opportunity.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi my friend
I assume you're referring to how to load new 700 kernel since you didn't mention. Here's the steps listed below, for details you could find in Note 912575 - iSeries: Using LODSAPKRN to load a 7.00 kernel
1. Download the latest SAPEXE.SAR, SAPEXEDB.SAR and IGSEXE.SAR from SWDC.
2. Create a directory in IFS and put 3 SAR files there, create a stream file called "parts" with content below:
SAPEXE.SAR,
SAPEXEDB.SAR,
IGSEXE.SAR,
P.S: I opt this way to patch IGS myself because it's more convenient, the formal IGS patching is introduced in
Note 937000 - iSeries: Installing and patching the IGS
3. Log on as QSECOFR or equivalent user (in 912575 it says SIDADM, which could lead to lack of authorization sometimes), and run command:
LODSAPKRN DEV(STMF) MNTPNT('<dir>') KRNLIB(<kernel library>) USERDEF(YES) LIST('<dir>/parts')
4. Stop SAP system and then remove old kernel:
RMVSAP SID(<SID>) DLTKRNLIB(*NO)
5. Change the library list (EDTLIBL) and replace the old kernel library with the new 7.00 kernel library.
6. Activate the new 7.00 kernel:
APYSAP TYPE(*KERNEL) SID(<SID>) DSTLIB(<new kernel library>)
7. Delete all SQL packages: DLTR3PKG SID(<SID>)
then start SAP system

Kernel patch level upgrade

our kernel patch level is 221
now i want upgrade patch latest non unicode 64bit kernel for DB2 database
E:\usr\sap\QAS\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64
E:\usr\sap\QAS\DVEBMGS00\exe
which one correct directory..

Dear Subhash.Chandra.
You writed the patch files have to be copied both directories.
I'm finding the official document or manual of it.
I updated igs patch on one server(ecc 6.0 ides).
I copied the file to one directory(/sapmnt/SID/exe). and I found igs patch was OK(transaction : sisg).
And the the other directory(/usr/sap/SID/DV~~/exe) has same file automatically without copy.
Second Case,
I updated igs patch on our ecc dev server.
I can't update igs version with copy to only one directory.
So I copied remained directory. Then I found igs patch updated successfully.
Thank you.

SAP IGS trace reset

Dear Guru's,
I have a scenario in which our root file system of SAP instance (CI) is above the threshold limit of 90%. In order to reduce it
we performed housekeeping activities and found that IGS trace file (wd_<host>.trc) to be of large size.
Could any one please let me know is there a way to reset this trace file ?
I tried with SIGS where such option is not observed and also I found that current trace level to be 1.
Please help me out with the following questions.
How to reset the trace file using SAP without restart? and What would be the default trace level is it 0?
what is the (UNIX) command to restart Integrated IGS alone so that will it get automatically renamed wd_<host>.trc.old ?
Already I tried the following command but resulted in error.
$(DIR_EXECUTABLE)/igswd_mt -mode=ALL profile pf=$(DIR_PROFILE)/<SID>_<INSTANCE>_<HOST>
Startup using config file
Configuration file could not be read!
Note: we are on NW 7.0 platform with LINUX x86 environment
Appreciate your earliest response.
Best Regards,
Viswanathan Subramanian

Hi Viswanathan,
Actually you can restart the IGS without restarting the entire system:
If available use the stopigs script. Note that this script must be run by the same user that started the IGS. If this script is not available run "kill -INT <pid of igswd_mt>" to stop the IGS.
Use the startigs script to start the IGS. If this script is not available go to the executable directory and run: "igswd_mt -mode=profile pf=<path to the instance profile>"
You should also check SAP note 896400 to use the latest IGS patch level (always recommended). SAP note 844669 will tell you more about the IGS parameters: igs/tracelevel might be relevant for your problem.
At last, but certainly not least, SAP note 514841 can help you in many IGS problems!
Best regards,
Cristiano

SAP GUI Logon does not have any anything to log on under systems

Hi everyone!
My friend installed SAP GUI 7.10 patched to 15 a few months back.
She was able to log in during that time since there were many servers/groups under the systems tab.
Right now, after her laptop has been recently cleared of a virus attack, she could no longer log on to any servers/groups because there were nothing there!!!
She is worried for a few questions:
FIRST: If she uninstall the program, will she lose her saved files that she worked on during those few months??
SECOND: Where can the saved files be located?? So that backup can be done when uninstalling SAP GUI 7.10
I really hope to get a reply soon!!! ( She needs to get her SAP up and running so she can continue on with her practicals since there is some kind of test related to SAP also... )
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really grateful if there is a reply...

Text missing from the Graphs in Reports

Hi Experts
I have a strange issue with BW Reporting in Production. After I execute the report, the text in the "graphs" are missing for some specific data. It is working for some components. I have checked the report in Quality system and it is working fine. Please help
I have checked the IGS Patch level and they both are same in Quality and production.
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
If you are using WAD to diaply charts, open your web template and select that chart web item and go to properties of that web item. Increase the "Height" and "Width in Pixels" according to your need. Then you will find the texts of those charts in the output. It depends on the size of the chart occupied.
