SAPJCo problem --   Could not initialize dynamic link library sapjcorfc

Hi there,
I have a J2EE application running on Websphere Application Server ND V6.1 (on MS Windows Server, Enterprise Edition with
SP2). J2EE application need to communicate to SAP on P560 z/OS via SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo). As per instructions given by
SAP JCo, I have created a folder and extracted SAPJCo zip to that, and also copied librfc32.dll & sapjcorfc.dll to
C:\Windows\system32 folder and created the shared libraries at the Application server level on Websphere to point to the
sapjco.jar file.
Now when I start my J2EE Application on Webpshere, I get hte error which is under the dashed line. The main complaint is.....
<b>java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: JCO.classInitialize(): Could not load middleware layer
'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC'
JCO.nativeInit(): Could not initialize dynamic link library sapjcorfc [D:\Software\SAPJCo\sapjcorfc.dll (JVMPORT015E Unable
to resolve DLL references - a prerequisite DLL may be missing)].</b>
Please let me know if any one has experienced similar problems. As we have a milestone to present this in a very short time,
I appreciate if any one could help me out as soon as possible.

Hi,
The following error is id due to the following cause :
Exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: JCO.classInitialize(): Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC' default_cpc_mode at com.sap.mw.jco.JCO.<clinit>(JCO.java:309)
Exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: JCO.classInitialize(): Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC' JCO.nativeInit(): Could not initialize dynamic link library sapjcorfc [C:devcu rrjcosapjcorfc.dll]. Required version "2.1.5 (2005-02-15)". at com.sap.mw.jco.JCO.<clinit>(JCO.java:735)
Exception: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: JCO.classInitialize(): Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC' JCO.nativeInit(): Could not initialize dynamic link library sapjcorfc. Found version "2.0.11 (2005-01-21)" but required version "2.1.5 (2005-02-15)". at com.sap.mw.jco.JCO.<clinit>(JCO.java:735)
Cause: These exceptions typically occur when different versions of sapjcorfc.dll and sapjco.jar have been installed. Anytime the JCo connector is upgraded to a new version, you need to ensure that all three libraries are updated (librfc32.dll, sapjcorfc.dll, and sapjco.jar). If any are left at the older version, one of the above exceptions is likely to occur.
Resolution: Extract sapjcorfc.dll and sapjco.jar from the original JCo archive. Copy these files to the appropriate locations, overwriting the originally installed versions. Ensure that the PATH statement is updated to reflect the directory location of the DLL files and the Java CLASSPATH points to sapjco.jar.
U can use the following link to solve any problem associating JCO :

  • Why do we get "Failure to initialize dynamic link library nipalu.dll"?

    We have two laptops connected by Ethernet. Each sees the other as a normal drive.
    Laptop A has the NI DAQ drivers and Visual C++ installed. It is our development environment. Laptop B has the PCMCIA DAQCard 6533 installed in the PCMCIA port.
    The DAQ application is stored on Laptop A, but launched, via shortcut, on laptop B. The application launches fine on laptop A (but this is of no use, obviously).
    I have tried installing the NI-DAQ drivers on Laptop B, but I get the same problem...
    Failure to initialize dynamic link library nipalu.dll
    THANKS!

    Azucena,
    Thank you for your comments. Three questions come to mind:
    1)If I must install NI-DAQ (do you mean just the dll or the entire environment?) on both machines, what are the licensing issues? Note that I only use one for development.
    2)Why do you say NI-DAQ needs to be installed on both machines? I launch my application on my remote machine using a shortcut pointing to the application where it resides on the _development_ machine. My app should therefore be able to see all required files (dlls, etc.) on the development machine even though it is running on the remote machine. To the remote machine the development machine merely looks like a normal drive.
    3) I don't see how the patch can help; Since I'm running my app on the remote
    machine (which doesn't have Visual C++ installed) it won't see any Visuall C++ modules in memory because they reside in memory (when they're there) on the development machine. Plus, when I do run this app on the development machine, it runs fine!
    Thanks very much!

  • SQORA32 driver could not be loaded. System error 1114: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed

    I have an MS Access 2013 application that opens a connection to an Oracle database via an Oracle client.
    On occasion the application returns the following error when the ODBC connection is opened:
    Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 
    1114: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Oracle in OraClient11g_home1, C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\SQORA32.DLL).
    This is an intermittent problem that is reproducible on several workstations (all running Windows 7 x64 with 32-bit version of Office 2013 and 32-bit Oracle client 11.2.0).
    Many times the ODBC connection is established without a problem
    Other times the connection can be established by closing then re-opening the application once
    Other times closing the re-opening the application several times does not help
    The same application is being run on several workstations and not every user experience the problem at the same time. The problem may be chronic for one user whereas another user experiences no problem whatsoever.
    All of the posts I have seen concerning this issue are for a persistent problem opening a connection and not an intermittent one. I am at a loss of how to diagnose this problem and would appreciate some direction.

    Hi Ross,
    This error message is Microsoft Data Link Error, this error occurs on windows when attempting to start a service or load a system driver but the DLL you loaded or one of its dependencies returned FALSE. It typically point to a system DLL file which is located
    in system32 and can be fixed by using the System File Checker tool. In your case, I suspect that it occurs due to a calling failure connecting to ODBC driver and it pointed to an error link C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\SQORA32.DLL which is hosted by oracle.
    If they are analogous, a “repair” seems to be helpful, However since we are not expert about oracle program I‘d suggest you check if C:\app\Oracle\BIN\SQORA32.DLL file exists on your machine and contact with Oracle first, I think there you can get more effective
    suggestion by other experts who familiar with design of Oracle database. Your understanding is highly appreciated.
    By the way, I searched for you and seems like you are not alone about this issue.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support

  • Since updating to 10.4 getting error message on startup 'AppleSyncNotifier.exe – Entry Point Not Found, The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll.'. How do I fix this annoying problem?

    'AppleSyncNotifier.exe – Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll.'.
    Please help me fix this annoying problem?
    belle

    This is the fix I got from discussions and it worked for me.  It is copied below.  I just did the manual fix which I have underlined. Good luck! Regards, Belle.
    This can occur because libmxl2.dll is not in your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support folder.
    There have been some issues with this and other dlls not being in the right place (or not being everywhere they should be) since the 10.3.1.55 iTunes update.
    However, I note that the 10.4 iTunes update is now out - surprisingly quickly - so try installing that, rebooting, and see if your issue is solved.
    If it isn't, though, here's the manual fix:-
    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well.
    I actually had the issue with SQLite3.dll, and the above fix worked for me (I found it in an April 2010 posting!).
    I passed on the fix as above for the similar issue with libmxl2.dll to someone who had exactly your problem, and he reported that it fixed it for him.

  • I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll.

    I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll. and one just said *Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please re install I Tunes Error 7 (windows error 127) . I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. But either way cant work. I really need some of your help! PLS HELP ME!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The error shares a similar pattern to that in the third box, so a similar approach should work. Look for CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, delete it, then repair Apple Application Support.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • What do I do when I try to open Fifrefox 4 & get the message: The procedure entry point NS_SetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll?

    2 days ago, I got a message about upgrading to Firefox 4.0. I didn't do it immediately, due to lack of time. Later that day, I tried to open Firfox & got the message: Firefox can't start because xul.dll is missing. Reinstall the program to fix this. I tried several times to open Firefox & got the same result. I tried rebooting. Same result. So I opened Internet Explorer & went to the Firefox website & followed the instructions to download Firefox 4. After that, I used it last night & left my laptop hibernating last night, then continued to use it this morning. Then I closed Firefox. When I next tried to reopen Firefox, I got the new message: The procedure entry point NS_SetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll. Again, I can only access the internet with Internet Explorer. Also, I have a done a good many Windows updates over the last 2 days as well. What can I do to get Firefox to open? Thank you for your help.

    This is what I did to resolve this problem. First, I uninstalled Firefox 4 & removed the Firefox folder left behind. I made sure to NOT select the option to delete personal information. Next, I backed up all of the important files on my computer. Next, I upgraded my Windows 7 to Service Pack 1, which was pending in my updates folder. Then, I went to Mozilla's website & downloaded Firefox 4 again, making sure to select only the Firefox browser and not Thunderbird too. http://www.mozilla.org/ When prompted to close any open programs, I closed Internet Explorer (which I had used to get to the Mozilla website) and I disabled my Norton anti-virus. I then completed the installation & it works just fine now. It loaded all of my personal data, such as bookmarks, it remembered my password, etc. It's fine for my needs, as I'm not a heavy user of special add-ons & plug-ins. Some of those may not work yet with the new version.
