    wily introscope did not run on Solman-7.2. on Linux-on-Power ?

    1. Christian Rudolph

      This depends on the Introscope version. The current version (10.5) does not run on PowerLinux.

      1. Diego Hernandez

        ThankU Cristian

        Christoph, check this note:

        2534316 - Introscope 10.5 Release Notes for changes and open issues
        4. Platform dependency of EM
        CA introduced a platform dependency that cause the EM to fail on startup similar to "[ERROR] [main] [Manager] The EM failed to start. /tmp/librocksdbjni7414627144441912552.so " if the platform is not supported by CA (e.g. "Linux on Power 64bit"). This dependency got discovered after SAP setup guide was published which erroneously still lists "Linux on Power 64bit".

    Hi Cristoph,

    following the PAM SOLMAN 7.2 supports OS LINUX ON POWER BIG ENDIAN and LINUX ON POWER LITTLE ENDIAN

    Check that the Introscope processes are running by using the following command:
    From the folder 
    <EM HOME>/bin
    run the command: ./EMCtrl.sh status

    Also, check this links:

    I'm on windows 2016 server, just upgraded my SOLMAN 7.2 from SPS5 to SPS9. I currently run WILI 10.1.0.15. I started to look into upgrading to WILY 10.5 until I came across this oss#2534316 and the following statement:


    Known Problems

    1. EM installer fails on Windows Server 2016 / 2019

    Windows Server 2016 respectively 2019 is not supported for the Enterprise Manager installer of version 10.5.x. Installation actually fails with an error message like

    Flexeraax2$aaa: C:\usr\sap\SOL\tmp\I1519871422\Windows_Pure_64_Bit\resource\iawin32.dll not found                 at Flexeraax2.af(Unknown Source)                 at Flexeraax2.aa(Unknown Source)

                    at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.init(Unknown Source)                 at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.executeApplication(Unknown Source)                 at com.zerog.ia.installer.Main.main(Unknown Source)                 at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)                 at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)                 at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)                 at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)                 at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(Unknown Source)                 at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(Unknown Source)

    Since there is no known technical problem running the Enterprise Manager on Windows Server 2016 / 2019  you can use the following workaround for installation:

    You must use JRE 1.8 u45 (JDK does not work) or previous version to launch the installer. For example: Launch the installer as below, this allows the installer to use 1.8u45 instead of the JRE bundled with the installer.

    introscope10.5.2.91windowsAMD64.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe"



    My Question, can I Just stay on 10.1 with Solman 7.2 sps09?

  4. Jens Claussen

    Hi Joshua,

    there is no known technical problem continuing with 10.1 and Solution Manager 7.2 SP9. But the 10.1 release will run out of maintenance at the end of this year and will not receive any additional updates. Thus it is advisable to move on to the 10.5 release. If you are hesitating to install an old JRE: download an early SAP JVM 8.1 patchlevel from SAP's software download center (I think I used PL3 last time) and just unzip it for the installation. You can delete it afterwards without any "traces".

    regards, Jens

    OK I got no problem, I simply installed the old java. My command was the following if anyone comes across this question

    introscope10.5.2.113windowsAMD64SAP.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe"
