Niping Syntax

Question : what is the syntax of niping command?

Answer : to get an idea of using niping command you can type niping without parameter.

Niping

This article is to answer guest question about using niping. Thanks to vinvk for the question.
Niping is a testing program developed by SAP to enhance TCP/IP and UDP layer function. Network Interface (NI) is used by SAPRouter and all SAP programs to provide independency of various communication. The enhanced TCP/IP and UDP Protocol is called SAP Protocol which provide one field length more and error information. This program simply send request to the server, then read the reply from server. Niping mostly uses to test connection to SAP server with or without SAP Router. Niping also provides enhancement communication through the firewall or proxy server.

Error when openning service in Visual Administrator

In some case, this picture is shown when you try to open service in cluster -> server -> service (for example SLD Data Supplier)

SLD Data Supplier error

If you open OSS Notes 1017526, you can only find general cause which somehow a little bit confusing, which state : For SAP J2EE Engine SP15 (NW04), add the Java option “-DP4ClassLoad=P4Connection” in the “go” script and make sure the J2EE Application “com.sap.engine.class.download” is started .

To solve this problem you need to copy sldserv.jar file from /usr/sap/<SID>/<InstID>/j2ee/cluster/server<x>/bin/services/sld/ to usr/sap/<SID>/<InstID>/j2ee/admin/lib/

You may try to look for the other services under /bin/services folder and move it to admin/lib. good luck.

VNC Server Start/Stop Command

SAP System Monitoring

Can you imagine if you have a job to monitor the whole SAP system and also non SAP system? Okay, let’s say that you only have 3 system landscapes, that would  be very easy to monitor, check the system one by one. But if you have hundreds of systems, how will you manage the system monitoring? Before we continue to the basic concept for system monitoring, we should answer this question: Why do we need to monitor SAP system? For some of you may be that’s a silly question, but for this little question will save your a lot of effort to monitor the system both SAP or non SAP.

How to Activate HTTPS Configuration in ITS 6.20 ?

ITS : Internet Transaction Server. It is a software component that acts as a gateway between a Web server and an SAP system. SAP ITS switches between Internet protocols and formats (such as HTTP, HTTPS, and HTML). Before SAP Web AS 6.40, ITS component is not integrated with SAP Web AS.

This is the procedure to activate HTTPS configuration in your stand alone ITS 6.20:
-Go to http://<ITShostname.com>:1080/scripts/wgate/wgate-config/!
-choose the ITS instance.
-Go to ‘Matching URLs’ and click ‘add’.
-Change line like : http xxxx 9999 /scripts/wgate ADM yes no
to : https _default_ 443 /scripts/wgate ADM yes yes
-Click ‘Activate new configuration’.

IAIK Security library not found!

Problem : When I open key storage service in Visual Admin I got an error.
SID -> Server -> Service -> Key Storage.

Error :
“IAIK Security library not found!”
“java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: iaik/security/provider/IAIK”

Solution :
Copy the iaik_jce.jar or iaik_jce_export.jar from the SCS Instance \\\SAPMNT\\SYS\global\security\lib\tools\iaik_jce.jar to your CI directory \usr\sap\\JC\j2ee\admin\lib

Work Process stop with status ENQ

This is the issue solved with unexpected solution that I didn’t imagine before. Have you ever experienced the hanging work process with most all status in ENQ but it seems no queue process or locked (SM13 and  SM14 works properly) in the system? Even when you restart the dialog instance, they still come up with the same status. If you see in the MMC, it looks like this :

So based on SAP OSS Notes 1131092, you can restart the ENQ work process, and it recommends you to add more ENQ work process, 3 is enough. This error might be caused by a long running/a lot of processes using this ENQ work process. I said ‘might’ because this cant be explained also by SAP. You may try this solution since those  stucked work process  with status ENQ cant be stopped from MMC, also from dpmon program.
