SWMP Import - Error on step "Install Java engine" (extracting SDMxml.jar)

[Former Member]

Hello,

During a system copy (import) with SWPM 1.0 SP08 PL3, the process is blocked in step "Install Java engine"> Extracting lib/util/xml/SDMxml.jar.

I tried with several version of Java but I still have the same problem :

j2sdk-1_4_2_17

jdk-1_5_0_12

jdk-7u79

I deleted this file and restarted SWPM -> Same problem

There are no errors in the log files.

The system is Netweaver 7.00

Do you have an idea?

Thank you

Hello,

The solution was not using SWPM but the original master (51038621 - NW7.0 SR3).

I have performed a new export and the import was successfull.

Dear All,

I am having the same problem as Cédric, performing system copy of ECC 6.0 Support Release 3 Netweaver 7.0 with SWPM 1.0 SP08

Tried similar steps, switching Java versions and environment variables etc.

Still with same results, where it hangs at "Install Java Engine" phase.

Couldn't find any solutions yet as of now.

Unable to attached sapinst_dev.log file here though.

Dearly need advise and help on this.

Regards.

hi Iyadz,

If your seeing the issue for the heap memory. Go to your installtion folder and check the contorl.xml file.

and increase -xmx & -xms size from 512MB to 1GB or 2GB  for the install j2ee engine step.

This will resovle the issue for the Out of memory issue. Let me know if this helps.

Regards,

Ram

Hello Cédric,

Since you have NW 7.00 you should stick with JVM1.4. And actually you should use SAP JVM as per this note: 1495160.

Please download the corresponding SAP JVM from SMP and try to start the AS Java with that.

If you still face the issue please attach the sapinst_dev.log, I assume we can see more details there.

Hello,

I've found this error in this file : C:\Users\<USERS>\.sdtgui\log\sdtgui.log

Jul 7, 2015 7:36:38 PM com.sap.sdt.engine.core.communication.AbstractCmd log

  SEVERE: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

To correct it, I've modified the file control.xml and restarted SWPM :

var javaArgs = { classpath:["migcheck.jar"], mainclass:"com.sap.inst.migcheck.MigrationChecker", jdkArgs:["-showversion", "-Xmx2048m"] };

+ SAP Note 1173398 - jload export fails with OutOfMemoryException

After, I've found this error in C:\Users\<USERS>\.sdtgui\log\server.trc

Jul 8, 2015 9:21:00 AM [Info]: com.sap.sdt.util.proc.Process.start(Process.java:165) [Thread[main,5,main]]: "C:\Users\DCSAPO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\sapinst_exe.3916.1436340039\jre/bin/java" -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xmx256M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -cp "C:\Users\DCSAPO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\sapinst_exe.3916.1436340039\jar\instgui.jar" SDTGui host=localhost port=21212 service=SAPinstService –noauth

I've added the variable _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx512M in Windows Environment Variable and this error has disappeared.

=> The problem is SWPM always hangs at the same step "Install Java engine" (extracting SDMxml.jar)

Ideas ? Than you !

Cédric
