Cannot create Lock File) when run startsap

[root@ECCECQ2 ~]# tail -f /home/ecqadm/startsap_DVEBMGS12.log
Called command: /usr/sap/ECQ/SYS/exe/run/startsap start Starting Startup Agent sapstartsrv
-----------------------------

------------------------------
Cannot create Lock File. ("sapstart.sem" Permission denied)
(6662) Exiting with Return-Code -103. (Access permission denied)
 Startup of Instance failed

Solution:

1.) Check the all the file system used percentage
2.) This may cause bcoz of shared memory , just restart the application & OS
3.) sidadm user doesnt own the usr/sap/dir or the sapmnt dir
    (Change the ownership of the user:Group using chown command in unix )

I have faced this issue , while starting the apllication & i worked more than 5 hours to fix it , I hope given info will help you to fix the issue asap.

Differences between SAP Netweaver EP and EPC

EP stands for Enterprise Portal – the well-known SAP Portal installation that includes all Portal components and functionality. EPC stands for Enterprise Portal - Core – is a leaner installation of the Portal that includes only the core Portal functionality without additional functionality such as Knowledge Management, Collaboration, etc

EP Core (EPC)This usage type contains the core portal capabilities that were available in the
former usage type EP. This new usage type provides more flexibility when
implementing a portal where the full enterprise portal capabilities, such as
knowledge management and collaboration, are not needed. It contains the
portal, Guided Procedures (GP), and Universal Worklist (UWL).

Enterprise Portal (EP)This usage type includes Knowledge management, Collaboration, Composite
Application Framework Core (CAF-Core), Visual Composer, Web Dynpro
extension, and .NET PDK.

To Reset Administrator Password through Config Tool

It may sometimes happen that a user enters the wrong password a number of times (by default, 3) and if that user is the administrator, then the administrator user is locked. This prevents all sorts of things happening. To unlock the administator, use the following process
You need to use the Config Tool and the process is:

1) Go to the Server Installed path i.e. usr\sap\\\J2EE\configtool\
2) Choose configtool.bat and start it.
3) Under Global Server Configuration, choose Services.
4) Find com.sap.security.core.ume.service, click it.
5) Under Global Properties, find ume.superadmin.activated
6) Set the Custom value to TRUE. Click on SET to apply the new value
7) Apart from that, you have to set another property i.e.
8) ume.superadmin.password, define some password.The password that you are defining is for SAP*. save the changes.
9) Restart the cluster / server. Issue the command stopsap to do so.
10) Log on to Portal with SAP* as user and the defined password.
11) Create a User with Super Administrator role.
12) Go back to Config Tool and set the Custom Value as default value i.e. FALSE. save the changes.
13) Restart the Server.

Incase if you deploy a Application i.e. a Webdynpro or PAR and the Admin Password is not configured properly or is locked then

1) Go to Config Tool.
2) Choose Secure Store, right click.
3) Choose Admin\Passowrd\Systemid\
4) Set the Password value, choose add and save.
5) Restart Server.

If you are able to logon to Visual Admin , You can create a new user and assign him administrator group or Reset password .

1) Go to the Server Installed path i.e. \usr\sap\\\j2ee\admin\go.bat Or in UNIX /usr/sap///j2ee/admin/go .
2) Choose go.bat / go and start it.
3) Under Cluster ->Server, choose Security Provider .
4) Select Tab 'Runtime' and Inner Tab 'User Management' , Click Create User .
5) And then assign to group Administrators .
6) No Need to restart J2EE engine , Open http://:/irj/portal .
7) Now you can User Administration Identity Management , Search for Administrator user and Unlock it . etc ....

WebGui for SAP

1)verify if the ICM is working correctly. Transaction SMICM (ICM Monitor)
displays the central entry point to the ICM configuration and monitoring. After starting this
transaction, you will see the ICM status. Make sure it is running. Check the following ICM
parameters via Menu-> Goto -> Parameters ->Display:

icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP,PORT=8000(PORT Number can Varies )
icm/host_name_full server.full.domain
2)With transaction SICF and locate the
services by path
/sap/public/bc/its/mimes
/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
3)Activate the full path to these services
4)Browse to
http://server_name:icmport/sap/bc/gui/
sap/its/webgui/ and login to the
webgui.


Use Following transcation if you face any service error:
#SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INTERNAL (Transcation used to publish all the service )


For more Query Please refer sappandit

ITS WEBGUI Activation (Back End )

1. Make sure Internet Communication Manager (ICM) is up and running. You can check it by calling transaction "SMICM". A window pops up where the ICMS status should be "Running" and show the green light.
2. Make sure the Fully Qualified Domain Name is set up on the server. You can check it by calling transaction "RZ10" (Edit profiles). There should be an entry with "icm/host_name_full=mybackend.project.mycompany.intra"
3. Set "INTERNAL" as the publishing site:
   Start transaction "SE80". In the top menu choose "Utilities(M)" --> "settings...". Right-click on the tab-arrow until you come to tab "Internet Transaction Server". Choose tab "Publish" inside and check mark "Integrated ITS".
4. Start transaction "SE80". Choose "Internet Service" from the first drop down box located in the middle of the left side pane. Enter "SYSTEM" in the input field below and click the glasses-like button "display" next to it. You will see the ITS service SYSTEM and its components in a tree structure. Right click on "SYSTEM" in the tree and select "Publish" --> "Complete Service" to publish the service. Once the publishing is completed the system will issue a message "Object published successfully; site INTERNAL".
5. Repeat the previous step with "SHUFFLER" and "WEBGUI" instead of "SYSTEM" to publish both, too.
6. Set missing parameters:
   Execute transaction "SICF". Enter "Hierarchy Type" = "SERVICE ", then click on checkmark "execute (F8)". Now browse to "default-host" --> "sap" --> "bc" --> "gui" -->"sap" --> "its" --> "webgui". Right-click on it and choose "Display Service". Under tab "Service Data" inside chapter "Interactive Options" click on button "GUI Configuration". In the blank line, insert following parameter:
   Parameter Name: "~webgui_theme"
   Value: "sl"
7. Clear cache:
   Execute transaction "SITSPMON". Select tab "Template and Mimes tab". Under tabs "Invalidate Template Caches" and "Invalidate MIME Cache", click on "System-wide"
8. Test WebGUI:
   Execute transaction "SICF". Enter "Hierarchy Type" = "SERVICE", then click on checkmark "execute (F8)". Now browse to "default-host" --> "sap" --> "bc" --> "gui" -->"sap" --> "its" --> "webgui". Right-click on it and choose "Test Service".
   A browser window (Internet explorer) pops up with the URL "http://mybackend.project.mycompany.intra:8002/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=100". It asks for username and password. Enter your credentials that you used for SAP-Logon. Then you should see a screen similar to the initial SAP-Logon screen: a screen titled "SAP Easy Access" with the SAP menu.

Error report :

"No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password" 

---> Use FQDN

DNS Not able to Report:

--> Add FQDN in local client

Tape Backup Reference

Below link give basic idea about taking Tape backup in unix platform.

http://baheyeldin.com/linux/using-tape-backup-on-linux-for-a-home-network.html


-->Aix you can use smitty 

BOT	The tape is positioned at the beginning of the first file.
EOT	A tape operation has reached the physical End Of Tape.
EOF	The tape is positioned just after a filemark.
WR_PROT	The tape (or drive) is write-protected. For some drives this can also mean that the drive does not support writing on the current medium type.
ONLINE	The drive has a tape in place and ready for operation.
DR_OPEN	Door is open. Depending on the type of drive, this usually means that the drive does not have a tape in place.
IM_REP_EN	Immediate report mode. This bit is set if there are no guarantees that the data has been physically written to the tape when the write call returns. It is set to zero only when the driver does not buffer data and the drive is set not to buffer data.
SM	The tape is currently positioned at a setmark. DDS specific.
EOD	The tape is positioned at the end of recorded data. DDS specific.
D_6250 D_1600 D_800	This "generic" status information reports the current density setting for 9-track 1/2 inch tape drives only.

Extending the Expiry of License date:

Serveral tricks to be followed to change the expire date:

First Trick :

1. When you install IDES you can move forward your Windows datetime into the future date. eg : 01.01.2020 (22 years foward)
2. After you finished installation, then start SAP MMC for the first time in the future date.
3. Doing any kind of activities using SAP GUI, still in the future date
4. Stop SAP MMC
5. Restart your machine
6. Change your date to the correct date
7. Start SAP MMC again
8. Now, you have IDES for 22 years

Second Trick :

1. Move backward your computer date to installation date before start SAP MMC
2. In some case, this trick only work if you haven't start your SAP MMC after license is expired

If the first and second trick doesn't work, then you can try an illegal trick.

Third Trick.

1. Download "ZAPGUI" (Sap R3 License Keys Generator), you can download from p2p network. eg : eMule
2. open SAP GUI
3. Enter login using sap* or other super user
4. Open t-Code "SLICENSE"
5. Click "Install" button
6. Run ZAPGUI
7. Fill some field in ZAPGUI according to Installation information in SLICENSE
>> Customer Key = fill it with Hardware Key
>> Installation Number = Ints. Number
>> SID = SAP System
>> YYYYMMDD = 99991231
8. Click "Install" button in ZAPGUI
9. Copy license key on the Result Field
10. Paste into "Key" field on SLICENSE
11. Press enter to install new Crack License
12. Stop SAP MMC
13. Restart your Machine
14. Start SAP MMC

Now, you have 2 license, after the trial license is expired then automatically then second license will be active.
