IGS watchdog process doesnt startup

Hello,
we are making a security test to our SAP system, and we are encountering
problems with IGS watchdog, which is not starting up.
It worked well until we tried to exploit the vulnerability exposed on
the CVE-2006-4133:
"Heap-based buffer overflow in SAP Internet Graphics Service (IGS) 6.40
and earlier, and 7.00 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via an HTTP request
with an ADM:GETLOGFILE command and a long portwatcher argument, which
triggers the overflow during error message construction when the
_snprintf function returns a negative value that is used in a memcpy
operation."
After sending a packet with a long value, our igs service crashed. This
is the expected result, but after rebooting the server, the igs watchdog
service doesn't startup.
After that, we have process the syslog entries that we have at the
SAPMMC, and we have encountered errors at the database. The error is
8115 and seems to be related to an arithmetic overflow. We believe that
its a consequence of the proof of concept that we have done.
Can anybody help us?
Lots of thanks and best regards.

Hi Maria,
a bit more details from your system would help me finding out why the IGS doesn't start. But in my opinion this has nothing to do with the database issue. You may find some information in the stderr or sapstart log files in DIR_HOME.

Details about the IGS watchdog?

Hi ,all:
In the display of the process list inside of the SAP MMC, there is a process described as IGS watchdog. Looks like it is for some Internet Graphic Server stuff. Anyone can expand more details on this like what is exactly for and is it a new thing for NW04? Thanks.

Hi,
you may also check the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/17/86c039c7811f11e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">NW04s IGS Documentation</a> which was just updated.

IGS Watchdog not starting

Hi,
I have Solution Manager 3.2 installed on Win2000Server/MSSQLServer. It was working fine. I restarted the server and now the Process 'igswd.exe ' IGS Watchdog is not starting up. On rightclicking, the developer trace is not opening up.
Please Advise how to resolve/investigate the issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Shobhit

Hi,
First refer OSS note 824281
Did you do a kernel upgrade , if so then please check all binaries related to igs is located under /sapmn/<SID>/exe/
Once i faced the same error and after i realized I have properly copied IGS binaries into kernel directory.

When I try to download Mavericks OS from the App store, it says "waiting". The download process doesnt actually start. How can i fix this?

when I try to download Mavericks OS from the App store, it says "waiting". The download process doesnt actually start. How can i fix this?

- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Multiple SAP solutions and IGS watchdog

Hello All,
I have install two R/3 4.7 servers on Windows 2003 with Oracle 9i as backend, on one machine using MCOD. It has SAP GUI also. The problem is that now if I start the servers using MMC then IGS watchdog service doesn't start in any of the Solutions. I didn't installed any separate IGS. I implemented SAP Note 824281, but even after that condition is same.
If any one knows whats the error and solution. Do I need to do some extra configuration to have two IGS watchdog on one machine.
I have one more question where is the variable "DIR_INSTANCE" declared that is mentioned in the SAP start profile and how to find the value of that variable.

Hi Maria,
a bit more details from your system would help me finding out why the IGS doesn't start. But in my opinion this has nothing to do with the database issue. You may find some information in the stderr or sapstart log files in DIR_HOME.

My macbook is slow to start up. How many active processes on startup

Hi,
My Macbook pro is getting so much slower to start up.
I've just done a macscan and it shows 87 processes at startup.
Is this the reason for the slowness??

Things That Can Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Invoking BPEL process on startup

Hi there,
Does anyone have suggestions as to how i can run a BPEL process automatically when BPEL PM starts up? I would prefer not to use external tools. I tried using the OC4J startup classes invoking it via java, but the BPEL engine has not started the processes yet.
I'm using 10.1.3.3.0
Thanks
Edited by: user5535771 on Nov 24, 2008 2:12 PM

Hi,
Your current usecase:
Step 1.java app polls db-->jms topic1 written to that jmsbroker/consumers consume
Step 2.jms broker receives msgs from topic1-->invokes http post
Question: It is unclear whether you will have other consumers to this jms msg or not and hence two options.
Here are the ways to use BPEL with this:
Option 1:
If you dont want the current JMS broker but want a JMS provider so other consumers can consume the msg
1.java app polls db, gets xml msg, puts msgs into Oracle JMS.
2. Within a bpel process, the jms adapter listens for arrival of msgs on a q/topic and calls http post (inline java exec or http binding)
For bpel process doing http post refer: for inline java call<bpelhome>/samples/references/javaexec) and "702Bindings" for http binding.
Application specific JMS headers will be set by the enqueuing client (your java app in this case). In general getting and setting of JMS headers is possible within bpel.
Option 2:
If you dont want the current JMS broker and dont care about other msg consumers either
1. java app polls db, gets xml msg, invokes bpel process thro bpel java api
Ref: 102.InvokingProcesses
2. Within the bpel process, the steps are : a) receive msg frm client b) do http post
Again, if you directly have access to the underlying tables, refer to Option 1 in the previous post.
Wrt "Also, is there a way that I can make my existing java application to be initialized by a bpel process",
yes within bpel you can write inline java or do wsif binding to invoke java code.

My imac shuts down during the startup process - possible startup file corrupt..??

startup process begins normally...
grey screen - then the apple - then the spinning wheel -
sometimes shuts down during spinning wheel, sometimes it gets to the blue screen then shuts down

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again. If no go, Bboot with the SL install disc, launch Disk Utility, repair the disk, and restart normally. If that doesn't do the trick reinstall SL and then run Software Update if that does.

IGS Watchdog Monitoring problem

Hello all,
I am trying to monitor the OS process IGS_Watchdog in my solution manager in Tx RZ20. But this has no result yet - it is grayed out. There are 3x 7.00 systems in this landscape and all of them aren't working. The 6.40's however are functioning perfectly.
I see that there is no IGSWD_MT running on OS level. I have also found that there is no IGS.XML file in the /conf directory (usr/sap/SID/DV*/igs/conf) Furthermore I have tried to start it with 'igswd_mt pf=<profile dir+profile>' this is giving me the following errors:
***LOG Q0I => NiIBindSocket: bind (125: Address already in use) [nixxi.cpp 3227]
ERROR => NiIBindSocket: SiBind failed for hdl 0 / sock 6 (SI_EPORT_INUSE/125; I4; ST; 0.0.0.0:40001) [nixxi.cpp 3227]

My BB Cruve 9300 Battery was Darined, it appears the Symbol of Charging but doesnt startup

Hello, Im so Desperate, that after reading about 5 forums about the same topic in similar circunstances, can not solve my own problem, so here I am, hopefully someone in the 2014 will help me!
I was in a trip where my CellPhone battery Died, and anything else, I arrived home and charge it and not even the red light, lights.
After 2 days where I was waiting to arrive to my hometown to solve the problem with my tools, the cell phone did start to charge, appears both the red light for about 10 seconds then the black screen, and then the symbol of the Battery with a yellow lighting bolt. I leave it there for the whole night!
When I woke up, the phone stills in the screen with the Symbol of the Battery, so there has start my dilema:
I dont know why the system does'nt boot, I begin with the tricks of removing the battery, and putting it again, all the ones I read on the forums, after that doesnt work, I decided to proove with reinstalling the OS from 0, with both the Desktop Manager and the Loader, then tried the second instances which was forcing the recognition of the device with both options (Desktop Manager and the Loader), in both cases the problem was the same, when it comes to the part: "Reconnecting the JVM" on my cell phone just lights the same symbol of the Battery with the Yellow Lighting Bolt and after a while appears the error message: "Application Loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect your device, enter the password, if required, and click retry"
So til there all a mess, so i finally decide to use extreme measures: the JL_cmder, and the problem is, i think a wipe my cellphone for at least 10 times, and all what keeps appearing is the goddamm symbol of the Lighting Battery!
SO PLEASE IF SOME KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS OR WHAT CAN I DO!!! PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME!
THANKS FOR THOSE WHO TAKE THE TIME TO READ ALL THIS!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
No need to yell:
http://kathrynvercillo.hubpages.com/hub/What-People-Think-When-You-Type-in-All-Caps
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
