TMKSVR installation error

[joo_migueldimas]

Hello,

I´m doing a SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 installation on OS/400 and DB2. Before a start the installation I have to install TMKSVR which is the bridge between the windows xp (x32) and i series. I did all the preparations before... but when I start the installation of TMKSVR I got the following messages/information:

starting installation...
checking for installation files...
checking/creating temporary directory...
copying installation files to temporary directory...
SAPCAR.EXE -> C:DOCUME~1SAPADMDEFINI~1TempSAPCAR.EXE
TMKSVR.SAR -> C:DOCUME~1SAPADMDEFINI~1TempTMKSVR.SAR
old installation found, removing...
unpacking TMKSVR.SAR...
SAPCAR: processing archive TMKSVR.SAR (version 2.01)
x TMKSVR.SAVF
SAPCAR: 1 file(s) extracted
transferring TMKSVR.SAR to server...
extracting savefile...

... and this is the error while installing:

"An error occured during installation (instmksvr: an error occurred while
extracting the savefile on the iseries host (details" "550-Error occurred on command
RSTOBJ OBJ(CRTTMKSVR) SAVLIB(TMKSVR) DEV(*SAVF) OBJTYPE(*ALL) SAVF(TMK.").)"

Can you help me how can I solve this issue...!

I search in these SDN forum for a same thread(s) and I found one which has the exactly error reported... but without any solution for that!

Thank you,

Hi João,

your job might become an interesting adventure, when you are faacing issues that early already ...

I would now suggest, to FTP the SAVF of the CD manually to a SAVF on iSeries use CRTLIB TMKSVR and rstobj into that. Then try to copy it to TMKSVR00 and use one of the commands ... perhaps CRTTMKSVR ... and STRTMKSVR ...

I guess, you might need a bit support in order to make your project in time ...

Hello Volker,

Thank you for your help... I already solved this particulary issue, this happened due a problem in the firewall settings in windows XP side Ok... so I started again the TMKSVR installation:

starting installation...
checking for installation files...
checking/creating temporary directory...
copying installation files to temporary directory...
SAPCAR.EXE -> C:DOCUME~1SAPADMDEFINI~1TempSAPCAR.EXE
TMKSVR.SAR -> C:DOCUME~1SAPADMDEFINI~1TempTMKSVR.SAR
old installation found, removing...
unpacking TMKSVR.SAR...
SAPCAR: processing archive TMKSVR.SAR (version 2.01)
x TMKSVR.SAVF
SAPCAR: 1 file(s) extracted
transferring TMKSVR.SAR to server...
extracting savefile...
creating instance...
starting instance...
creating file share on the AS/400...
checking instance...

... but now it shown other error:

An Error occurred during installation (sendTMKMessage: could not send message, no connection available)

I thought this was due to FTP connection, but I checked this connection through Navigator and I see the FTP with status Started!

I searched for this error in SDN forum and I found this thread:

Any tip?

Hi João,

last idea:

Is your ftp setup the way, that the IFS is default ? Then the tmksvr installation doesn't work ...

Ok Volker,

Finally this was solved... The TMKSVR is now installed!

What I did was:

I type in iseries console the command CFGTCP next I choose the option 10.Work with TCP/IP Host Table Entries and in that screen I add, besides it had already the hostname pointed to IP host, I also put in there the hostname + domain name (fully qualified domain name (FQDN))... so now my IP table has the following entries:

- ::1                         IPV6-LOOPBACK
                              IPV6-LOCALHOST

- 127.0.0.1                 LOOPBACK
                            LOCALHOST

- 192.134.23.123          <HOSTNAME>
                          <FQDN>

Thank you very much for your help Volker
