Portal will not start

Hello All,
We have copied our entire portal and database to another server, because of this our portal will not start. It appears to start with no errors, but no portal page is displayed, not even an error message. The port number also can not be reaced.
The same is happing for BI, our abap instance is fine, but our java instance fails to work. When I check the staus od the java instance in SMICM, it states the java instance is installed, but there is no port number allocated.
Any idea what I can do to relove this?
Many thanks,
Nick.

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply.
The document which you refered to referes to doing a copy using SAPInst. We did not use SAPinst. Instead we copied (RCP) sap mount/SID and USR/SAP/SID. We also did a Database restore.
The config tool and visual administrator works fine and I can not see any errors when I start SAP.
I have compared QA with DEV and all files are the same.
Any ideas why this has not worked?
Any help would be appeaciated.
Thanks,
Nick.

Enable SSL to LDAP / MS AD : Portal will not start

Hi all ,
We have successfully enabled portal User Authentication to MS AD/LDAP over port 389 in a EP6 SP2 portal . Portal use
Now we wish to switch to LDAP over SSL .We did the following for a Ad with SSL enabled on port 636 :
1) Import the AD server cert into the keystore using Visual admin tool
2) Log into portal as adminstrator > Go to UM Administration
3) Change DataSource to AD , Flat heirarchy
4) Enter hostname of AD server , user . password , paths etc.., Enable SSL
5) Save config and restart portal
Now the Portal will not start and we get the following error messages in the
console_logs...any ideas ???

Here's another option that might work for you:
Check out this note: 789590. From reading between the lines it looks like you can change your um config without the portal being up by creating a file called 'sapum.properties.upgrade'. That note talks about modifying some logging parameters but you should be able to substitute the um parameters to change your config back to using just the portal database.
Here's what sap explained about the process:
"you can update single um.properties by defining a file called sapum.properties.upgrade and storing it in the
directory \ume\. During the next startup, these properties are uploaded and update the older values from the UME properties stored in the PCD.
Values that are not listed in the .upgrade file are not touched. The upload is done before the service is starting, so that the updated values are taken as start parameters. Again in note 789590, you can find an example for an upgrade file (in this case for updating the information on the logging settings)."
Once you get the portal up and running, when you try to change the UM config, make sure you click on the 'Test Connection' button after you've saved the new ldap settings to make sure that everything is ok. The ldap server might be accessable but you might have a problem with the user, password, group or user path. Also if you're using SSL then make sure the 'Use SSL for Ldap access' is checked.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Robin.

SLD will not start after I upgraded Netweaver 2004s Portal

SLD will not start after I upgraded Netweaver 2004s Portal from SP 14 to SP 15.
It gives me the following J2EE error:
Application error occurred during request processing.

Hi ,
as a first question: What versions of WAS / NWDS are you using?! (Main question is if you are using corresponding versions, i.e. NWDS 2.0.x with WAS 6.40 SP x, with the same value for x.)
See the threads below for more information

Message server will not start on AIX 6

I have a standard ECC6 system running the 185 kernel and ORACLE 10.2.0.2 on AIX 6. which is giving me a problem. I also have 2 other systems apparently with the same configuration which operate perfectly.
The problem I have is that if I stop the system the message server will not start. If I wait until the following day the message server starts pefectly. I have not been able to test stopping the system and waiting an hour or so and then restarting in the same day, so I do not know if the overnight wait is relevant.

Hi,
Thr 01 ***LOG Q0I=> NiIBindSocket: bind (67: Address already in use) [nixxi.cp p 3227]
Looks like port 3227 is already used. You can check the ports by netstat -a -n from your command prompts. Also check your settings in /etc/services and /etc/hosts files.
Check your filewall rules/disable antivirus if any and give a go.
Hope this helps.

The last 10 lines is what I commented out as I was using multiple datasources. he following line
ume.persistence.data_source_configuration=dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml should be a different file.
The server is set to MSADS mode but I commented out those lines. So the server does not find the file. Is there a way to fix this??

System PI 7.11 will not start because of R3INLPGM error

Dear experts,
our PI 7.11 sap system will not start on the backup machine. We have two AS/400 machines using IBM iCluster.
On the source node the PI system starts without any problems. If we switch over to the target node,
the PI system will not start. Only the two subsystems R3_<instance> were started and the SAPSTRSVR jobs
ran under QUSRWRK.
In the pool files from SAPSTART we found the following errors:
QPRINT:
R3<SID>400/R3INLPGM: Error occured setting gid to R3GROUP.
QPJOBLOG:

But the authority from all libs and objects are same as on the source machine.
Any idea?

Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

This morning most Modern Apps will not start on my system, including the Settings app. It seems to be a DCOM failure and seems directly related to this old thread.

This is a current Windows 8.1 installation, full up to date on patches, and the problem still occurs after rebooting. I checked for newly installed patches, etc. and the only thing recent was the Windows Defender definitions update.
It's an i7 with 32 GB of RAM, fast SSD's etc. I don't believe this is a hardware problem in any way.

That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.
Thanks,
    Mike

Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

HP TouchSmart application will not start

We purchased an HP IQ 526 TouchSmart desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine approximately two months ago. We use Clearwire to connect to the internet. About a month ago the HP TouchSmart applilcation stopped working. It will not start. Every time we try to start it we get the following error message:
HP TouchSmart Calendar has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Sometimes it says it's the HP TouchSmart Notes has stopped working or one of the other TouchSmart applications. I went to hp.com and updated all of the software for the TouchSmart application and Windows Vista. And I reguarly use Windows Update to ensure my OS is current with Microsoft security updates. I also updated the firmware. After these actions and rebooting many times the application would still not start. At this point I contacted HP customer support. We uninstalled HP TouchSmart, then reinstalled. This didn't work. I continue to see information events in the Windows Application Log almost every minute regarding HPTouchSmartCalendarNotes. They are typically the following messages over and over:
Reminder clock elapsed event is successfully fired.
CheckReminder() is executed successfully.
ShowReminder() is executed successfully.
After Fetching the XML nodes, checking for each node is done successfully in ShowReminder()
Events in Events.xml Before Showing Reminder<DataRoot></DataRoot>
I still have a case open with HP support and they said uinstalling the OS and reinstalling is likely the next step but I have to believe someone else has run into this issue or HP has a QFE for this issue. I really do not want to uninstall the OS and reinstall it. This has become very frustrating as the HP TouchSmart application is the primary reason we purchased the computer so my wife can manage our photos and music collection via the touch screen.
If anyone has seen this before or has a solution I would love to hear about it. We are considering taking the computer back if we can not resolve this issue.
On a related note and this might be a separate issue I continuously get HPTCS stopped working messages. I've searched the internet for what HPTCS.exe is and what is does but there is little to no information available.
Please let me know or if there is additional information I could provide that would be useful for troubleshooting.
Cheers,
G

Our machine was sent back to HP and they reformatted our hard drive and sent it back. Wow. Fantastic service. NOT!!!! I could have done that. Without debugging their own software to figure out why this was happening they reformatted the hard drive. I can only expect this problem will happen again since there must be a software update, etc... that is causing this behavior. I honestly do not know how to voice my disgust in their customer service. I have been a long time fan of HP and we basically only buy HP at work but this was the poorest display of customer service I have ever encountered. If your TouchSmart application stops working and the TouchSmart software updates do not resolve the problem you might as well pretend like you bought a normal computer without touch capabilities. Like buying an iPhone without it behaving like an iPhone.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Greetings,
Got through a non-networked 10G Enterprise installation OK; I chose to create the orcl schema, connected to it through various utilities, added new tablespace, and all was well. I also checked my Host Name by pinging it in DOS, it showed me the IP address of the MS loopback adapter which is what I was expecting.
Once I connected the same machine to the LAN (and internet) and re-booted, for some reason the Host Name was now assigned the dynamic IP address of the LAN and not LAN2 (which is the loopback adapter that is assigned a static local IP address). It did this even though I had already added an entry in the /etc/hosts file that explicitly assigns a static IP address to the Host Name (as recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions). I also could not get the OEM to launch a webpage, run and connect to the orcl database after the re-boot; I am wondering if this is related to the IP address assigned to Host Name changing; maybe the Oracle agent can no longer resolve the URL for some reason?
In the end I find that the only way to insure I can have a working Oracle environment and be on an active network at the same time, is to bring up the Oracle environment on a standalone system first, and once Oracle is running connect the system to the network. Is there no way to automate this process?
The format of the hosts file entry recommended by the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions is as follows:
===========================================================
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
where:
IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered for the loopback adapter.
hostname is the name of the computer.
domainname is the name of the domain.
For example:
10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer
==========================================================
In my case since I am not part of a Windows domain (but am part of a Windows Workgroup), I added an entry in the /etc/host file that looks like the following:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.110.250 IBM-6AB1330E158
==> Note that I did not add the domain name to the entry I created since I am not part of a domain, I also used the format I found in the etc/hosts file which is:
IP_address hostname.domainname
- not -
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Which is the format recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions; this does leave me wondering which format is correct...
Thanks in Advance for any help,

I have not. I am hoping someone (maybe even from Oracle support) will step up and officially tell us we are either right or wrong in the way we are approaching this. From the research I have done on the internet it sounds like this should work, you should be able to have Oracle starting and running fine whether you boot connected to the LAN or not, assuming you have created the MS loopback adapter, assigned it a static IP, and changed the hostname entry in etc/hosts file as part of the 10G WinXP recommended pre-installation instructions.
And yet I find I have to start Oracle when I am not connected to the LAN or the services will not start correctly. If this is a "feature" then hopefully someone will tell us and maybe give us a workaround or give us an idea if this will be addressed in a future release. Having said that and in fairness to the Oracle product; being a developer I have other products installed on my machine that have special networking setup needs also, and in my case this could be exasperating or even possibly causing this Oracle problem I am having. To be specific I have software for 2 different VPNs installed so I can tunnel into 2 private networks. One of these VPNs require me to make use of a DNS Suffix (as shown below) which might be contributing to my problems, not sure. I also have VMWare installed which uses it own network adapters when it is running, so you can see how things could get a little hairy... at any rate, there is my 2 cents worth (or is that 5 cents? : )
fwiw,

Lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

HT4972 my ipad will not start it has an apple in the center and no matter what I do it will not dispeasr, erase or open

MY ipad will not start. I can only see an apple in the center.

Have you tried this?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
