startsap : no instance profile found

[Former Member]

Hi,

I just upgraded the SAP Kernel, and now I wanted to start sap with the new kernel.

I ran ./saproot SID, started saposcol (saposcol -l) and ran the sapstart. Unfortunately sap doesn't start and returns the error : no instance profile found.

I checked the default profile, everything sames to be clean.

Any idea

thanks in advanced

I had the same problem while installing the linux test drive. Solved by:

export SAPSYSTEMNAME=NPL

For some reason this evnironment variable was set to "npl" instead of "NPL".

Hi,

Many Thanks to all of you,

Problem was solved : the cause was a wrong start- and instance-profile name. I renamed the both profiles and started sap. It's working.

Hi I have the  same problem . Can you tell me the solution to it in detail?  Rename what file?  what profile?

Hi Victor,

1. Please, first make sure that the listner is running before starting sap, otherwise 'lsnrctl start' as db-owner-user.

2. startsap as sidadm.

3. if startsap doesn't work, then try

startsap pf=/sapmnt/SID/profile/SID_DVEBMGS00_hostname (00 is your Instancenr.)

4. if that doesn't help, try to edit startsap script under /sapmnt/SID/exe and replace 'VHOSTS=`hostname -s` with 'VHOSTS=your_server_hostname

Hope that it helps

According to step 3, I cannot find the /SID_DVEBMGS00_hostname 
under  /sapmnt/SID/profile/ 

And under this directory, I only see DEFAULT.PFL      file.

and I also check it in the /usr/sap/slo/sys/profile, the result
is the same.

My netweaver version is 7.40.

This is the first time  I install netweaver.

what is the problem with my installation? Do I miss some installing?

Hi,

Goto the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile

Here you should have the start profile as START_DVE..._<hostname>

Then with <sid>adm user try the command 'startsap <hostname>'

One more question, have you installed on a cluster or virtual host environment.?

hi Orkun,

I started indeed sap by the user sidadm.

The last entries in the error logs show the stopsap before kernel upgrade.

I don't see any other logs for my last sapstart attempts.

Hi Abdellatif,

1) In order to be be safe side, do you starting the instance by sid<adm> user, correct?

2) Could you provide the full error log, here?
