Urgent !!!Portal Startup problem!!!

Hi,
I performed PDK installation on my SAP EP 6.0 Sneak preview version.WAS 6.40
i imported the .epa(downloaded from Market place) into portal but got errors while working with the assigned role(java developer role), so i downloaded the PDK BP 6.0 from SDN and deployed using SDM. There was no response while deploying the javadocs for 35 min. so I closed it and restarted the J2EE server.
Now in the SAP Console MMC.Status of process table shows" starting applications".It stays for more than 30 min and nothin is happening. It used to turn into "running" state in abt 4 min previuosly.
What cud be the problem? How to undeploy the packages??
It shows no errors..No warnings..But won't start!!!
Where is the Log file that i cud check?
Plz Help me out1 Itz very important that i need to develop somethin on the portal Today.
Thanx!!

Hi nagesh,
Jus have a look at the task manager on the OS. Is your memory above 1GB? If so try to increase your page file available to the OS. (I have 2GB allocated to page file). I also have 1GB of memory available and the server usually takes around 10 to 15 mins to start.
If the memory being used by the OS is less that 1GB try allocating more memory to the J2EE engine using the visual admin.
hope this would work.

Portal startup problems

I installed the gateway and server (ver 3.0 SP3) on the same machine
(solaris8).
When I start the gateway and server in debug mode I see that the server
receives an AthenticationException when trying to bind to the LDAP server.
Is there any LDAP configuration I need to do after install in order to allow
the server to
connect ? I attached the log.
Thanks
[Attachment ips_bug.txt, see below]

try reinstalling the GW. If that does not work, then you can do a
ipscreate and import an account for the GW. It looks like the "hidden"
account for the GW was not created during install. If you do have to
create the account, make sure and put it in the default domain and
default role.

Plumtree Portal Startup Error

Hi All,
I am trying to install the WCI on Win Server 2003.
I followed the step-by-step installation guide provided by Oracle on http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13158_01/alui/wci/docs103/map_wci_win_installguide_10-3/. However, we came across this problem where the portal can't be started after completing the installation and configuration.
The configuration manager is able to run, but not the portal.
The startup error log is as follows:
Diagnostic system initialization OK.
Portal Startup begins: 15 total tasks.
Recommendations follow:

FYI, we had been uninstalling and re-installing several times, but the same problems occured. So, does any of you faced this kind of error before?
Your views and opinions are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looks like this a Java portal... this error is usually caused by an invalid path or similar problem with environment variables. Since ptverify works, this is even more likely. I would make sure you've followed the preinstall steps. The problem is probably somehow related to you needing to:
1.) Set the PT_HOME environment variable.
2.) Add it to your PATH.
3.) Make sure the application server (Weblogic?) is set up to properly use the above variables (is the user it is running as set up to have above, etc). I would add some echo statements to your application server bat files if you are unsure if these variables are set or what they are.
4.) Some other environment variable is necessary (i.e. does LD_LIBRARY_PATH contain the /lib/java directory).
Most of this should be done by the install, but when you are setting up the application server you may need to check this (or if you have reinstalled, run as a different user, etc, this may be different).
I realize that's kind of vague but this type of error can be harder to diagnose, plus its been a while since I've done a Windows install. Hope this helps...

Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

Disk Utility will tell you something about it's SMART status:

Dual Monitor Startup Problem on MacPro - Solved

I have a model 53135LL/A = mid 2010 MacPro with 8 cores, DUAL monitor cards and monitors, 24GB memory, running Lion 10.7.3. It is important to note that I am also using the Apple bluetooth Magic Mouse and the smaller, bluetooth keyboard (no numeric keypad). This unit was supplied with Lion in December 2011 and has had a startup problem from the beginning as follows:
1 - when starting from a cold start the dual monitor positions are reversed from the correct position
2 - additionally the USB and firewire connected devices (e.g. Wacom tablet, 2 card readers) do not function properly.
The workaround for me has been to start the system, wait for the logon screen, then click restart. Upon restart everything comes up and functions correctly.
Specifics on my setup and starting problems:
1 - My main monitor (Monitor #2) is a large gamut monitor that is located to the right. This monitor is connected to card slot 1 as that is the faster card slot (pcx16). The second monitor (Monitor #1) is an ordinary unit and connected to card slot 2 (pcx4). The monitors are set up as an extended desktop.
2. The Wacom tablet (Intuous 3 wide) is connected to USB port on rear of machine. CF card reader by Delkin is connected to Firewire on rear of machine, and an SD card reader is connected to USB on the rear of the machine.
3. My dock is positioned on the left side of the left monitor. The menu bar is along the top of the left monitor, and all desktop icons are on the left monitor. The right monitor has no items on it.
On a typical cold start, as mentioned above, the apple logo appears on the right and then the logon screen appears on the right.
If I proceed to logon at that point, all the desktop items move to the right monitor and the computer thinks the positions are reversed. In other words, it behaves as though the right monitor (#2) is on the left of the desktop and left monitor (#1) is on the right.
Additionally, the Wacom tablet using either pen or mouse does not map over the full desktop range. If I use either card reader and then eject the card, no further card insertions will be recognized.
To fix this, I simply restart the machine thru the apple menu and everything comes up correctly.
I had discovered, that instead of completing the logon on a bad cold start, I could simply restart from the logon screen and all would work correctly.
On occasion, the logon screen would come up on the left monitor (as it should do) and in that case, if I log on all works correctly.
I have worked with Apple support on the phone, clearing setup ram etc. Have had the unit in to Apple store for hardware check, all OK. Next suggestion was reload OS and start over - no thanks.
SO - Here is the latest.
If I turn off my keyboard and mouse before starting the machine, then wait for the logon screen to appear - It starts correctly, with the logon screen on the left. I can then turn on my keyboard and mouse and all works as it should.
Bottom line - there appears to be a startup issue with Bluetooth devices from a cold start. Note that once the machine has been used for a bit, I can turn it off for short periods of time (e.g. 30 minutes) and it will start correctly even with the mouse and keyboard turned on.

After a startup problem with my macbook pro i put it as slave and formatted the internal Hard drive. Now i want to install OS X Mavericks from USB

After a startup problem with my macbook pro i put it as slave and formatted the internal Hard drive. Now i want to install OS X Mavericks from USB
How can i do that?

What did you "put as slave?" What Mac model do you have, exactly?

Can anyone diagnose my startup problem from this screen pattern?

After failing to startup my Mac on about 8 consecutive attempts today, I finally got it to boot up, and now I'm afraid to turn it off for fear that I won't be able to re-boot.
Here's a photo of what kept happening:
http://www.doctorkeys.com/startup-problem-screen.html
This screen came up immediately, along with the spinning cog and the apple logo, both rather faint. But then those two disappeared, and all that was left was the gray screen with the pattern as shown in the photo. And that's as far as I got each time.
The display itself seems to be fine, because even when I couldn't use it with the Mac Pro, I was able to hook it up to my MacBook Pro and it worked fine.
Can anybody tell me what's happening?
Thanks,
Bruce Siegel

Hi-
To be honest, though, I was hoping that the pattern in the photo was so specific and common that someone would look at it and say, "Oh, of course! I've seen THAT one before. Do this and your problem is solved."
I have seen graphics cards produce that type of screen as a result of a few of situations.
One, if the card is miss seated.
One other is if a capacitor on the card has failed, while VRAM failure is another cause.
The first case is easy to fix; remove and reseat.
The second and third require replacement of the failed graphics card.
Cleaning the gold contacts with 99% isopropyl alcohol and thoroughly dusting the card while it is out is a good idea.
I have been able to replace a bad capacitor to restore a card, but luck was a big part of determining which one it was....

Startup problem with Lion OS 10.7.3

Just recently, I've been experiencing a startup problem with Lion. I don't usually have any issues running my Mac, so I'm at a loss why this is happening now.
I have an Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.3. I usually leaving my Mac running all the time and only restart when the need arises. In addition to being my main computer, this mac alsocontrols a MacMini that serves as a music server thru screen sharing.
This past weekend, I restarted my Mac and could not get past the grey screen. The mac chimes, the apple logo appears with the spinning gear, the blue screen briefly appears, but instead of progressing to the desktop it reverts to the grey screen with a repeating cycle of the spinning gear appearing (spins for a while, stops, disappears, reppears spinning, stops, disappears, over and over) - never progressing beyond that stage.
I decided to reinstall the system and things have been fine for the past few days. Today, restarting again resulting in the same problem.
I've tried several things without success. I disconnected all peripherals, reset the PRAM/SMC, ran Disk Utility from a install volume and ran repair and permissions (no problems reported). Tried safe mode startup - a progress bar appeared but never fully progressed and could not get to the desktop.
Recent changes included updating the OS to 10.7.3 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 - no recent hardware changes. No bluetooth devices connected.
Any thoughts? Thanks -

Thanks -
I've reinstalled the OS today and am back up and running.
But, since this is twice this has happened within the past week, I'm worried about might be causing this issue - besides bad luck. My Mac is usually rock solid - can't remember the last time I've had to reinstall the OS in the past few generations of OS X.

Startup problems--time for a new machine?

I have an imac G5 that I bought last February. In the last few weeks I've been experiencing serious startup problems. When turned on, the screen goes gray and the lines and pixels fragment and shimmer. It takes a long time to go to the main screen and often the screen isn't stable and freezes. It takes me eight to ten startups to get the system stable.
I've repaired disk permissions, repaired h-drive, reset Pram. Still a mess. My husband wants me to just get a new one and get something that is not an Apple this time. I'm resisting that.
I don't want to lose all my data and I've backed up what I can but I'm worried the data is corrupted and if I load it on to a new machine, I will experience the same problems.
Any advice? I'm not even sure if this is a hardware or software problem. I'm out of warranty so I am on my own, but I'm frustrated to be having these problems with such a new machine.
Thanks for any advice,

Startup problems w/ Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 2002) M8667LL (dual 1 GHz)?

Startup problems w/ Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 2002) M8667LL (dual 1 GHz)
Starts up with bong and then a long wait then screen comes on with old time smiley Mac and spinning beach ball then another long wait and then OS X loading bar and then a panic screen. Subsequent start, bong, and then hard drive spins for 6 or 7 minutes, then hard drive stops and then nothing. Could this be symptomatic of a hard drive failure?
Thanks very much.

I am pleased to report that I think the problem has been solved. Apparently the strange behavior can be attributed to overheating. After some on line research and the help of people on this list I opened the case and found that the logic board fan was clogged full of lint and dust. After cleaning it I discovered that the fan is inoperable. The computer is now operating with the case open and a small electric fan directed at the logic board heat sink. The computer has been operating flawlessly now for several hours. Will have to replace the bad cooling fan and clean the computer regularly. Thanks so much to all of the people who have responded to my request for help. Would like to mention that a firm with a canine connection charged me over a hundred dollars to report that their diagnosis is a faulty logic board.
Thank you.

Troubleshooting iMac Startup Problem

I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with my mid-2007 iMac 24" where it sometimes will not startup. I can hear it turn on when I press the power button but it doesn't chime. I can also hear the fan. I don't boot from the internal drive as my main drive and instead boot from a larger firewire external drive attached directly to the iMac. When the iMac won't start up, I usually let it sit for about ten minutes and it will startup again. Yesterday though, this procedure wasn't working but it did eventually startup after I left it alone for several hours to run some errands.
After using it for about an hour, the internal drive unmounted and disappeared from my desktop -- I got the usual "disk was not properly ejected" warning when it happened. I ran Disk Utility but the drive did not show up on the list. I also ran System Profiler and it did not locate the drive either. Instead it said "There was an error scanning for Serial-ATA Devices".
My question is this, could it be that the internal hard drive has been slowly failing and has been the cause of the startup problem? Does the internal HD have to be in working order to be able to startup properly and boot up from my external? I've been told by others that it does appear to be a logic board or video card problem and I've inspected and reseated the RAM and it has not been the issue.
My iMac is out of warranty and I'm gonna have to bring it in for repair. If it is the internal drive that is the problem, I don't want to shut it down for any reason until I'm ready to have it repaired. Thankfully, I have full backups.

This sounds very similar to my situation. When I restart the computer it usually gives me the grey screen with ?-folder. Using the Install Disc to boot, I ran Disk Utility but the drive did not show up on the list. I also ran System Profiler and it did not locate the drive either. Instead it said "There was an error scanning for Serial-ATA Devices". Wait a while or repeated restarts eventually boots the system. When I can get the iMac to boot up I used the Install disc and ran Disc Utility Repair but no errors were detected. I have ran the extended AHT a couple of times and no errors were returned.
Did you resolve your problem? Bad HD?

Startup Problem & "Zapping the Pram"

Okay, I'm having startup problems, and I did the Command/Option/P/R startup.
Next, I know that Command S, or Option S, something like that should take me to a startup equivilant of Disk Utility. It's been so long, I forgot what to do. I searched but cannot find the answer.
Hopefully someone here can help.
Thanks.
