former_member262203 — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 05:23:43 GMT

Hello Gurus,

Environment is BASIS 731 level 06, ASE 15.7 on Aix 7.1

We have to upgrade it to Support pack level minimum 14 doing it with SUM sp17 using following commands
./STARTUP confighostagent SID and getting an error message:-

Set root user and root group as owner of files in /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/operations.d and /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/descriptors.d

**** Configuring SUM Abap: /usr/sap/SID/SUM/abap/SUMSTART confighostagent RESTARTSHA=no
****ERROR: SUM folder belongs to root or has root files!

and on local host unable to connect

Hi Sharad,

check the authorization for 'SUM' directory. it should be 'sidadm:sapsys' and run the './STARTUP confighostagent SID' as root.

it this does not work please share the output of following command.

ls -ltr /usr/sap/SID/

Regards

Sunil

Hi Sharad,

SUM authorization seems ok. Please check the hostagent as it is giving some error.

Set root user and root group as owner of files in /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/operations.d and /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/descriptors.d

assign root group and restart hostagent. Check the hostagent status by running './saphostexec -status'.

hope you are running with updated hostagent.

Regards

Sunil

Hello,

1. Login with root user on server

2. Change directory to /usr/sap/

3. run command "chown -R root:sapsys hostctrl

4. change directory to /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe

5. chmod 4750 sapuxuserchk hostexecstart

6. chown sapadm:sapsys sapstartsrv

Once above steps are done, restart SUM tool by using your earlier command.

Note: you need to do all above exercise because SAPHOSTAGENT was not handled properly.

Hi Sharad,

Please share the error you are getting while accessing the SUM from URL. also please check the followings.

1. server host name should be reaching (or use IP address).

2. check your host proxy setting (machine from you are accessing the SUM URL).

3. share the full URL you are trying to access.

former_member227283 — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 07:12:12 GMT

Or you can use netstat command to check of 1128 is up or not.

Or you can check saphostagent logs to check if host agent started or not.

Or check again S./saphostexec -status.

What happens when you try to access SUM using https://IDES:1129/lmsl/sumabap/SID/doc/sluigui

url?

Also check if SAPHOSTEXEC service is not running under sidadm

If nothing works check the hostagent log files.
