SP09->SP14 deployment error: caf~bw~ear fails with NoClassDefFoundError

[Former Member]

Hi,

The following error occurs when upgrading a portal from NW2004s (Java AS 7.00) SP09 to SP14. A similar portal has been upgraded from SP11 to SP14 without problems, so we're thinking of first patching the CAF application from SP09 to SP11 before proceeding to SP14.

The key errors are:

Exception in operation update with application sap.com/caf_bwear..

Reason: com/sap/caf/bw/api/IBWProcessorLocal; nested exception is:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/caf/bw/api/IBWProcessorLocal

The error occurred while trying to load "com.sap.caf.bw.services.bwprocessor.BWProcessorLocal".

Anyone experienced the same problem?

Hi Dagfinn,

are you using JSPM to deploy the application caf_runtimeear? One reason why this deployment could fail is because of the reference to caf_runtimeear which is currently not running (since JSPM puts the J2EE Engine in save mode). As a workaround you could try to start the engine in normal mode and deploy CAF with SDM directly.

Hope this helps,

Holger.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Thanks for the suggestion,

Yes, we are using JSPM.

I'll try deploying the CAF component directly with SDM now.

Wondering if this will happen for all portals from SP09 to SP14 or if it is just one of those rather random events that can happen.

Dagfinn

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Redeploying now, but same error on caf_runtimeear

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

did you put the J2EE Engine in normal mode (instead of safe mode) before trying with SDM?

Regards,

Holger.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes,

Checked in configtool now and it is reporting safe mode is off.

The big question is why caf_runtimeear would run into a StackOverFlow

Dagfinn

[Former Member]

We had the identical error on an initial java install.

ERROR: Not updated. Deploy Service returned ERROR:

java.rmi.RemoteException: Exception in operation update with application sap.com/caf_bwear..

Reason: com/sap/caf/bw/api/IBWProcessorLocal; nested exception is:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/caf/bw/api/IBWProcessorLocal

Sap Note 1200072

Resolution

To resolve the error message

Click Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced tab.

Click Settings in the Performance section of the Advanced tab. The Performance Options dialog box appears.

Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.

Click the Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only option. Click OK.

Worked for us.

Reply from SAP support

"It seams there are cycles in the parent-child relationship of the

groups in your LDAP server, which are the reason for this problem.

Please try to find any such cycles and remove them - if possible -

as a workaround for successful deployment of that application.

Meanwhile we will clarify the matter."

Disconnected LDAP using configtool and now CAF is successfully deployed via SDM (and the rest of SP14 via JSPM).

LDAP has now been reconnected and no problems.

Looking further into the issue of the cycles in groups (are only about 100 00 so shouldn't take long

Dagfinn

[Former Member]

Thanks alot for this information!

Good like in finding the cycles...

Regards,

Holger.

It seems the root cause is the failure of caf_runtimeear to startup after it has been upgraded.

It receives a java.lang.StackOverflowError without any more explanation.
