Secure Store: Entry for host name is missing or empty

[Former Member]

Hello All.

We have sap portal version 7.02 runing on OS WIN.

When we try to deploy new application fram Developer  system to

Test system.using SDM,

We  gets the following error:

message: "Cannot retrieve Engine logon data from Secure Store: Entry for host name is missing or empty (Secure Store key: admin/host/.

I had find this note:

2057940 - Error during deployment using SDM

But there is no property 'admin/host/xxx on secure store section in .../j2ee/configtool.

We need property 'admin/host/xxx on secure store section for sap version 7.02, I am not correct.

Thanks for any advice

Hi Reza ,

Hope you are doing good.

You just need to be sure that the property 'admin/host/<SID>' (or the error entry maintained in the SDM logs) is maintained along with he hostname of the system in configtool.

Basically the steps are:

1. backup the current SecStore.key and SecStore.properties file
2. start configtool, select secure store
3. add following key value pairs to secure store entries:

admin/host/<SID>      <hostname>
admin/password/<SID>  <password of administrator user>
admin/port/<SID>      <P4 port, usually 5NN04 where NN is the instance nr>
admin/user/<SID>      <administrator user ID>

Aterwards try deployment again.

Thank you!

Once this is done, for test purpose, please try to deploy any file from :

..SDM\root\origin\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples

via the SDM application. Or you can select any other SCA and select the "update any version" option in SDM. is this working fine.
Is this working fine?
Else (mention the exact time) and kindly attach:

/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<nr>/SDM/program/log/*
and
/usr/sap/<SID>/<Central instance name>/j2ee/cluster/server0/logs/default trace (latest).

Hi Hemanth,

Thanks again for reply,

The problem is the administrator password is change and normally we change the property 'admin/host/<SID>' on Secure Store too.

I can see there is no property 'admin/host/xxx on secure store section in .../j2ee/configtool.

I wondering it is the same on dev and production as it is in test stystem. This sap portal installation is 7.02 version.

Thanks again

Hi Reza,

Are you sure this server this server is up and running and installed correctly? is this 7.02?

From a similar server in our landscape, these entries are available:

The secstore properties fine usually has this data as well: \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\security\data.

The entries usually are:

Looks like your sec store file is corrupt or wrong. This is where the configtool gets its data from.

Hi Hemanth,

Yes I am sure about that

[hemanth2 · Accepted solution]

What about the secure store file. Is there data ( 'admin/host/xxx) available there?
If not, that's our problem .

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Y0u are quit right the problem is the  secstore properties file on usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\security\data.

I had find a backup of this file and it is deferent from the we have on sap portal.

I will use the correct file and restart server to see if it is working.

I will come back with result.

Thanks again.

Great news Reza .

Let me know how this goes; else I will try to recreate this file for you. You can then simply place this file in the global directory and that should be enough.

Kind regards,
Hemanth

Also, if I am not wrong, the J2EE server is down presently. Is that right?

If so, the SDM will only start in the standalone mode (and not in the integrated mode). I hope you have checked this as well.

Hi Hemanth,

The problem the wrong secstore properties file.

I used the backup file and after restart I have all correct propertys.

Thanks again for good advice..

Great news Reza .

Just a point. If the sec store file was corrupt, you can use the attachment in note 1592575 and create a new one.

Simple .

Hi Reza,

I think you need to maintain the value of host and it will require a restart.

Hi Ashutosh,

Thanks for reply,

What du you mean with: maintain the value of host?

Thanks again

Reza

[former_member185239]

Hi Reza,

You have to maintain the  below value in sapnetweaver 7.02

admin/hos/<SID> <hostname> in secure storage file and then take a restart of the system.

Also do follow the link

Thanks Ashutosh,

So I should create this property 'admin/host/xxx.

Thanks
