NW2004s Java Add-in on a Dialog Instance

Hello All,
Is it possible to perform a Java Add-in on a dialog instance for NW2004s SR1? I don't see any option in the installation master. It only shows the option for Java Add-in in Central Service instance, Database instance and Central Instance.
I already have both ABAP+JAVA on CI (NW2004s SR1). There is a dialog instance which is running only ABAP (NW2004s SR1). Can I add Java to this dialog instance?
Can someone please help me on this?
Thanks.
Fahad

Hi Fahad,
You can only add Java-Addin to a Central instance.

JAVA Add-in For Central ABAP Instance installation failure

Hi! I'm attempting to install a java add-in to an ABAP central instance in our sandbox for NW04 SR1. After sapinst is started, the process runs for approximately 2 minutes then fails. I've not been successful in determining exactly why. I have environment variables set for JAVA_HOME, SAPINST_JRE_HOME, and even a specific TEMP directory with gigs of available space.
The process "reads the configuration", "creates working directories", "changes to those working directories", "prepares for installation", then starts a child process which immediately crashes.
The message I first receive is: Connection to SAPinst broken, please correct and restart....
within AIX, the message states iauxsysex.c:297 child 2519168 has crashed. Executable directory......Contact Support.
also. iaextract.c.883: child has signaled an exec error
Thanks if you can offer assistance.

Hi Shane,
This problem is nearly always to do with User Limits. Depending on the shell you are using you can view and change the limits using the limit or the ulimit command. If you change a limit the new value holds only for the shell and processes started in this shell. Hence if you change limits you have to do it in identically the same shell process from which you start sapinst.
If you are using csh or tcsh run limit to view all limits. The limits stacksize, datasize and memory are especially important. If they are not yet unlimited you should set them to unlimited using the commands
limit stacksize unlimited
limit datasize unlimited
limit memory unlimited
Please verify the result using
limit
If you are using ksh or bash run
ulimit -a
to view the limits and
ulimit -d unlimited
ulimit -s unlimited
ulimit -m unlimited
to set the limits.
Retry the SAPinst once you have set these ulimits

Java Add-in on an existing ABAP instance

Hi, I uninstalled the ABAP instance before installing ABAP+JAVA. However, when I started sapinst to install JAVA Add-in (Step 1 of 3), it prompts for the profile directory and I no longer can find it under \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile directory since the instance is removed. Is this the right way I am going?

"Keep in mind that you cannot(bold) install the Java Add-In for the dialog instance(s) of the existing ABAP system. Instead, you have to uninstall the old ABAP dialog instance(s) install new ABAP+Java dialog instance(s)."
looks pretty clear to me you can't add a Java add-in to a "Dialog instance"; This means that if you have a Central instance with ABAPJAVA and ABAP dialog instances you cannot install Java add-ins to them... you'll need to unistall the dialog instance and install and ABAPJAVA dialog instance... that connects to a already existing ABAP+JAVA Central instance.
Hope is clear now.

Juan

Installing Java Dialog Instance - Error while connecting to DB

We would like to add a dialog instance to our production Portal server. We installed Portal as stand-alone on the central instance. We have another server we would like to setup to serve as a Portal dialog instance.
So far I have installed Windows 2003 Server Standard. Installed MSSQL server client tools (database is mssql server). Installed jdk 1.4.62. Set java home and path environmental variables. I'm now installing the Java dialog instance (I can't find any documentation on this). From Netweaver installation CD> SAP NetWeaver '04 Support Release 1> Java System> MS SQL Server> Dialog Instance Installation>
SAP System ID: (sid) ES2
Central Host: SAPEPS02
Path to JAVA DVD supplied> JDK Directory confirmed> Domain paramaters confirmed> domain<sid> account passwords supplied> domain<service><sid> account password supplied> Instance number confirmed>
Installation started> It gets to step 8 and fails stating "Error while connecting to DB". I looked through all the log files and couldn't come up with anything (i'm very thorough).
I tried adding the users to the database as dbowners (no luck). I installed SQL server 2000 with SP4. No where during this installation did I get prompted for database parameters?
Is there something basic i'm missing? Does this scenario not work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of the correct documentation would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Brad Dridi

Hi Brad,
I am facing the same problem. I hope by now you must have got the solution for this.

How does JAVA dialog instance gets synced from CI

Hello Guru's,
I have recently added two dialog instance to my Portal production.
I want to know what changes I have to make manually to all the dialog instances?
I had to manually change the JAVA parameters for all the dialog instances servers and add TREX nameserver.address.
We have Application integrator iView and for that we had turned off the Session Management Alerts (current mode = off), but for some reason I have to login to all the dialog instance and turn this off, I thought this is Instance independent?
Please help, what else should i be aware of?
Thanks in advance.
-Kurien

Was there ever any feedback to this. I would be interested in the same information, any tips/best practices for adding a java dialog instance.

Directory structure for ABAP+JAVA Dialog Instance

Hello,
Can any one clarify how will be the directory structure in a case where we have ABAP+Java System?
For Central Instance,DVEBMGS<instance no>
Central Services,SCS<instance no+1>
Ex:DVEBMGS20
SCS21
If I have another dialog instance,can I have only ABAP or only Java in that?What will be the directory structure?But I read that they will be in 1:1 ratio
Will it be D22(Only ABAP) or J22(Java only).
As a dialog instance,can ABAP exist with out JAVA.
or can JAVA exist without ABAP
Please explain the directory structure with an example.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

EHP4 backup and Dialog instances

Hello All,
We intend to kick off the EHP4 PRD Downtime phase by Friday 10 PM.
Can you please provide me expert thoughts on the following:
1) When should we backup the PRD Database? (a) Anytime After the end of pre-processing phase when production operations are going on (b) after stopping of Application Servers and immediately before commencing the Downtime Phase
2) Is the online database backup fine or do we need a cold backup?
3) What steps specific to Dialog Instances are necassary like any profile parameter changes, explicit kernel upgrade on Dialog Instances before and after the downtime phase?
Thanks,
Antarpreet

Hi,
> 1) When should we backup the PRD Database? (a) Anytime After the end of pre-processing phase when production >operations are going on (b) after stopping of Application Servers and immediately before commencing the Downtime Phase
>
Once you will finish Pre-processing phase then it will ask you take backup of database, backup of upgrade directory and stop all productive operation. And then start downtime phase. At that phase you should take the backup. And this backup should be taken after stopping of application servers.
> 2) Is the online database backup fine or do we need a cold backup?
>
>
I would suggest you to take offline backup only because if you will take online backup then users will be there in the system which makes the backup inconsistent since productive operations will be on that time. Main idea to take backup is because if something goes wrong in downtime phase then you can restore the system at same stage before starting downtime. And if you will take online backup then users will be working that time so I think it defeats the purpose itself.
> 3) What steps specific to Dialog Instances are necassary like any profile parameter changes, explicit kernel upgrade on >Dialog Instances before and after the downtime phase?

For dialog instance, you can check SAP note 1245473 Add. Info. - SAP Enhancement Package Installer 7.00. Extract below from this note:
Updating Dialog Instances
After the enhancement package installation on the central instance, you
need to update the dialog instances accordingly. To do this, you install
the new dialog instances on top of the old dialog instances using the
tool SAPinst.
You can now also install more dialog instances, if necessary.
3. Save your dialog instance profiles, if you want to reuse them.
4. In case of a dual-stack system or a Java system, uninstall the old
dialog instances as described in the installation guide for your
source release.
5. To install a new dialog instance, proceed as described in the
document Installation Guide - <SAP NetWeaver / SAP application>
(<Technology>) on <Operating System>: <Database>.
6. If you use other instance numbers than on the source release and
reuse the old dialog instance profiles, adapt the instance numbers
in the profiles.
Thanks

How to delete Dialog instance on NW04

Hi guys
I have an installation NW04 on Cluster MSCS:
Central Instance on node A
SCS instance on Cluster Disk
Dialog instance on node B
We have performed upgrade to NW04s, and now in postprocessin we should deinstall Dialog Instance and install it again with software NW04s.
Here documentation guide:
****************************************+
After the upgrade of the central instance, you need to upgrade the dialog instance to the new release.
Due to the fact that some special settings and binaries on a dialog instance cannot be upgraded
remotely, you can only upgrade a dialog instance by uninstalling the old instance and then installing
a new dialog instance with the tool SAPinst.
Procedure
1. Uninstall the old dialog instances as described in the document Installation Guide ‒ SAP Web Application
Server 6.40 Java on <Operating System>: <Database>, Part II Installation and Post-Installation.
2. Install the new dialog instances as described in the document Installation Guide ‒ <SAP NetWeaver /
SAP application> <Technology> on <Operating System>: <Database>.
Point 1, is :
*************+
1. Log on as a user with domain administration rights.
2. Choose Start u2192 Settings u2192 Control Panel u2192 Add/Remove Programs.
3. The Add/Remove Programs dialog box appears.
4. Find the SAP entries.
. Note
Each SAP instance that is installed on the computer is listed with an entry like SAP Application Server
for System <SAPSID> instance.
5. Choose Remove.
The SAP Uninstall Wizard starts.
6. In the Welcome window, choose Next.
The dialog box Uninstalling SAP System appears for you to select an uninstall method
Depending on your selection, note the following when you use the check box to delete an SAP instance:
-- If your check box is marked gray, you delete or uninstall the following:
The SAP instance directory, for example:
\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\D00
Services, for example:
SAP<SAPSID>_00
The whole system directory, for example:
\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\*
-- If your check box is marked black, you delete or uninstall the following:
The SAP instance directory, for example:
\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\D00
Services, for example, SAP <SAPSID>_00
The whole system directory, for example:
\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\*
Local and domain user accounts
If you have different SAP instances that use the same <SAPSID>, you can delete the instance
directory only.
The wizard informs you when the SAP system or selected instances have been deleted successfully
But in my node B there is no SAP entry on Start u2192 Settings u2192 Control Panel u2192 Add/Remove Programs, however Dialog Instance exists, and windows service exists...and so on...
So how can we deinstall this dialog instance???
Thanks and regards
Javier

Hi
In node A there is JC30 (Java central instance)
In node B there is J32 (Java Dialog instance)
SCS31 (Services Central Instance) is now in node A, but can be switched.
Database Instance is OUTSIDE, is located on a Unix Server. (is not affected in this case)
Looking node B, there is no entry on Adding/Removing Programs regarding to SAP instance.
Of course, I can see windows services on node B, one for J32, other for SAPoscol, and one more for SCS31.
Any idea?
Thanks
Javier

BI 7.0 Java Add-on installation hangs

Hi Guru's
While doing upgrade of BW 3.5 (Netweaver 2004) to BI 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s) during Java Add-on installation at "Database Instance Java Add-in" phase the installation hang on "Import Java dump" phase.
I have tried to kill and restart the installation 2-3 times and restarting the complete installation once again it stops at the same phase. Kindly let me know what can be the reason because we have not face this issue in DEV and QA environment. It is my production server.
The environment is HP-UX IA64 with oracle 10g.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajesh,
What stage is the installation hanging at ?
Please provide any error info from sapinst_dev.log
Check if java engine is installed and is up and running or not.. You could check the j2ee work directory under which you find j2ee stack related traces.
e.g. check std_server0 to see if the server is up or not
Please send more details

EP Central System + Dialog Instance Installation options

Hi Friends
For my production EP 6.0 WAS 6.40-Java instance I am getting 3 AIX servers, say server DBserver, Appserver1 & Appserver2, we want to install the database & CI on the DBserver, the other 2 servers need to serve the role of Application servers to the DB+CI server.
In our SAP R/3 Production systems we don't allow the users to login to the server hosting the (database+CI) & we allow them to login only to the appication servers, I want to do a similar setup for my Production portal landscape & require that the portal users are load-balanced using the SAP Web Dispatcher to the 2 application servers.
I have 2 questions on which installation options to choose to achieve the above objective.
1. Can somebody check & confirm if the below mentioned Installation sequence is correct for Installing the WAS on the 3 servers.
a) Using Installation option "Java System ->Oracle->Central System->Custom Installation-Java system" for the DBserver.
b) Installation option "Java System ->Oracle->Central System->Dialog Instance Installation" for Appserver1 & Appserver2.
2. Can somebody advice how do I need to install the portal on the 3 servers so that the above objective of load-balancing the users to the 2 App servers is met.
a) Do I need to install portal only on the DB+CI server & then the portal platform will be setup on the 2 App servers as well or
b) Can I install the portal separately on the 2 portal App servers.
Thanks & Rgds,
Abhishek

Dialog Instances Java are not up after System Copy NW2004s SR2 ABAP+JAVA

Hello guys,
I have just performed a system copy of our BW system (douple stack NW2004s) wich consists from CI and 2 DIs. First I made an export using SAPINST (Software from SAP_BUSINESS_SUITE_2005_SR2 for sparc solaris), where I choosed in SAP Installation Master->SAp Netweaver 2004s Support Release 2->Additional Software Life-cycle Tasks->System Copy->Oracle->Source System->Central System->Based on ABAP and Java->Database and Central Instance Export. I couldn't find any special task for export java from my dialog instances, so I thought it would be ok like that. Then I used the same software on my target system, choosed ...Additional Software Life-cycle Tasks->System Copy->Oracle->Target System->Central System->Based on ABAP and Java->Central System Installation. In the Dialog input phase of SAPINST I indicated that use db specific tools to copy your database. So I made the database restore+recovery with our DB tools and continued withthe SAPINST and Import.
Afterwards the ABAP part and Java on the central Instance run perfect, but Java Stack is not up by both of Dialog Instances. I have checked the configtool on the server where the CI is running (the DIs are running on different linux servers) and couldn't see any entries for my dialog instances, only the CI was seable there. I tried to start configtool from the application server, but there I could find only the file config.properties in the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/.../j2ee/configtool/, others were simply not there, so it was impossible to start it. Have i forgotten something by EXPORT/IMPORT or I should just use other software for coping a System with douple stack on a CI and DIs? Or should I get configtools for Linux platform ( have searched but not found yet) and try to make the same changes wich i have done by the CI before i started Java on the CI? The most irritated point is that i can't see the dialog instanes in Configtool from the CI.
Any other suggestions and good advices?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards, Polina

How to add a java dialog instance to Java central instance of SAP CRM

Hi Gys,
I have installed a new dialog instance for the CRM Java landscape for the version 7.01 .
CRM Abap instance is seperate and its data accessed by Jco connection by central instance but not dialog instance . Could you please let me know if any configuration steps to be followed.
Thanks in advance
Sudhakar

Could you describe your problem a little bit more.
I have installed a new dialog instance for the CRM Java landscape for the version 7.01 .
CRM Abap instance is seperate
Ok, sounds like 2 Java instances and one ABAP instance.
and its data accessed by Jco connection by central instance but not dialog instance.
This is where I get confused.
Do you have one or more ABAP instances?
What is your actual problem (what do you want to do)?

How to Uninstall Java Dialog Instance

Does anyone know how to uninstall a Java Dialog instance?
The install instructions, 'SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR1 Java on Windows: MS SQL Server' suggest that I should go to the control panel and select the add/remove program and then find the instance and remove it. However, the instance does not appear in the list.
Note: I have the ABAP stack (DEV) and the java stack (JDV) installed on the same box. But, the java stack is not an add-in. The ABAP stack instance does appear in the add/remove program list.

ok Doug,
i've a workaround for that.
Go to registry editor.IF YOU Find the Service corresponding to J03(SAP<SID>_03). Delete it. (if you want to be fail safe, export that contents to a file using FILE --> EXPORT and then delete it. you may import it later if you want). and RESTART the PC.
this process will ensure that there is no instance according to your system (coz no registry entry is found). it is as good as removed. but the files that were created during the instance installation will remain in your hard drive.
IN CASE you need this instance later or this workaround gives you any trouble, just import the registry contents file which you have exported earlier and RESTART THE PC.
it is as good as it was!!!
this is an easy work around but slightly risky as u are fiddling with your SYSTEM REGISTRY ENTRIES.
Regards
Arun.
PS: Remove the corresponding entry in the WINDOWS SERVICES file. otherwise, it will give PORT IN USE during later installation with instance number 03.
