Data Services 4: Can't set up RFC server

system · April 13, 2011, 2:58am

I’m basically trying to do the same thing I used to do in DS 3.2: In Admin Console I went to SAP Connections -> RFC Server Interface Configuration and there define the parameters for the RFC Server Interface.

The next thing I expected was that I would find the new RFC Server instance in the tab RFC Server Interface Status and start it. However, I see only the message “RFC Server is not available” there.

Is there any part of setup I missed?

Hmmm…

Should I raise an OSS Support message for this, or what should be the proper channel?

did you get any errors while saving the configuration ?
check the webserver log in the %LINK_DIR%\log folder

No errors raised during saving of the RFC interface details.

Found the following in the webadmin log:

04/18/2011 12:31:00 [  SEVERE ] Unable to find servers in CMS SBDS40.mycompany.local:6400 and cluster @SBDS40.mycompany.local:6400 with kind pjs and service null. All such servers could be down or disabled by the administrator. (FWM 01014)
04/18/2011 12:31:00 [  SEVERE ] Premature end of file.

SBDS40 is the DS 4.0 machine name and also I use the same Program ID for the RFC Server.

go to CCM or login to CMC and check the status of EIMAdaptiveProcessingServer, is this up and running ? if not then start this Server and try to configure the RFC Server Interface again

if the error is related to configuring RFC server Interface then you should have seen this error on the management console when configuring the the RFC interface

the EIM Adaptive Processing Server is up and running. I have found this when looking through logs of that server (file pjs_sbds40.EIMAdaptiveProcessingServer_ncs):

M [Thr 8104] Mon Apr 18 15:46:47 2011

May it be relevant?

Some update: I have installed previously missing SAP Host Agent (7.1 sp62) and ran Data Services installation in repair mode.

I have created RFC destination on BW server and then added details to RFC Server interface in the Admin Console. When trying to start the RFC Server, I’m getting this error:

04/21/2011 13:42:26 [  SEVERE ] An internal error occurred in: server.start()::rfc_bad_connection

I’ve googled for this error, there’s been nothing useful found.

Any way from here?

this colud be because of incorrect connection details
how are you passing the gateway name ? as service name or number, try using 3300 or 33 followed by system number

Using 3300 instead of SAPGW00 helped. What was it?

Codehopper (BOB member since 2010-05-14)

the service name will be defined in the system services files, on windows I think this file will be in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder

check if there is an entry for SAP Gateway, something as below
SAPGW00 3300/tcp

either this is missing or incorrect

I’m getting the same error that started this thread

This is after upgrading IPS and DS to the latest versions and patches available. Everything was working OK before these upgrades were applied. I currently have the following installed:
IPS 4.0 SP4 Patch 1
Data Services 4.1 Patch 2

In the CMC when I go to the repository properties and try to set the password (currently blank) I get the error above. I have no servers that are not running. This install does not interface with SAP BW.

When I try to logon to Data Services Designer it says that I don’t have the right to retrieve the password for the repository. It prompts me for a password (for the respository, not the CMC user) and that gets me into Designer. The user provided on the logon dialog is assigned full control rights and then full control on the repository. It seems like there is a disconnect somewhere but I’m not making the connection.

In the web admin of BODS you can also enter the CMC password.

And in the CMC, can you test the connection to the repo and then save it again?

I get the same error when I use the Test Connection button.

from DS 4.1 you will have to assign retreive password right to the user, else user will be prompted to enter the repo password, adding user to administrative group will not grant this right

for testRepoConnection failing, can you check if the EIM APS is running or not

manoj_d (BOB member since 2009-01-02)

I cannot find the “retrieve password” right in the CMC. Where is it located?

Hi,

I am getting the same error as discussed in the topic.But this is while trying to open the management Console, The error is as shown below.
Unable to find servers in CMS DBServer.mycompany:6400 and cluster @DBServer.mycompany:6400 with kind pjs and service DS.AdminService. All such servers could be down or disabled by the administrator. (FWM 01014)

As seen in the attachment, CMS and EIM APS Servers are running. What do need to check on to resolve this.?

this is different error that password retrieval access permission

check if the DS.AdminService is hosted on the EIM APS, for this go to CMC, open the properties of the EIM APS and check for the services that are on this Server

If you see DS Admin Service, then go to the BOE/IPS HOME\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\logging folder and check for errors in DS.AdminService.log file and also in the EIM.glf file

The recent DSAdminService File has the following content.
Oct 11, 2013 2:32:55 AM com.sap.dataservices.adminservice.server.AdminServiceLogger logMessage
INFO:
DS.AdminService Shutdown.
Oct 11, 2013 2:33:20 AM com.sap.dataservices.adminservice.server.AdminServiceLogger logMessage
INFO:
DS.AdminService Startup completed.

The service doesn’t seem to be shutdown…
What possibly should I be checking next?
