No More Memory for FCA

The newer NetWeaver AS JAVA systems use ICM instead of JAVA Dispatcher. The communication between ICM and J2EE server node is handled through memory pipes (MPI) instead of sockets--An architectural feature of FCA (Fast Channel Architecture).

Depending on the system throughput requirements, the default memory allocated to FCA may not always be sufficient, resulting in no more memory for FCA errors.

No More Memory for FCA


When these errors occur, the only way to free up FCA memory is a restart of J2EE engine.

To avoid these errors:
  1. Check ICM parameter settings according to SAP note 737625. icm/max_conn, mpi/total_size_MB and mpi/max_pipes are important parameters.
  2. Add the parameter icm[J2EE]/enable_icmadm = true if it is not maintained according to SAP note 1635058.
  3. Check SAP note 715400 to check the maximum number of memory pipes
  4. Increase FCAServerThreadCount Maximum Server Threads count for ICM Requests of the HTTP provider service from java NWA (NetWeaver Administrator) or from the java config tool. Note that increasing the number of FCA server threads, affects the number of available server threads that may be needed by other services/components.
FCA issues could also be because of a program error. Take JAVA thread dumps in case changing parameters does not help or you suspect this to be a bug.

OS/DB Migration - CMD. STR, TOC, EXT, R3load, DDLDBS.TPL and more

Image
With increasing need to improve performance or reduce costs or vanishing support for operating systems/databases it becomes inevitable to migrate to a better OS or DB. We feel take a quick look at the primary ingredients of the tools for OS/DB migration handled by R3SETUP. Tools - R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk R3ldctl creates STRucture files, TemPLate files by reading the technical settings for table/indexes in SAP data dictionary. R3szchk calculates the database size object sizes (EXTent files) for the target system based on the STR files created by R3ldctl. The EXT and STR files can be later split into smaller groups. The most crucial tool R3load is responsible for unloading and loading data from the database. R3load uses the files created by R3ldctl and R3szchk and dumps the data into compressed binary format as .001, .002 .. files. It uses cmd files to achieve the task. If the cmd files are not present, it creates on its own. Files Command files*.cmd  are created i

Fixing Inconsistent Table - Table activation fails due to inconsistency between DD and DB

If you find a table to be available on the database, but not active in ABAP dictionary, try calling SE14 as DDIC user, enter the table name and choose Table > Reconstruct, Execute. If this method fails follow these steps: Call transaction code SE37 and execute the function module  DD_TABL_ACTM with single test On the next screen, do not change any other field except the following and set them as shown below: MODE: 12 NTAB_PUTSTATE: N TABNAME: <enter the correct table name> Click on Execute The export parameter ACT_RESULT should show 0. To verify if the inconsistency is fixed, call transaction SE14 > Extras > Database Object > Check and  SE14 > Extras > Runtime object > Check.

301 Redirect Using SAP Web Dispatcher

301 redirects are typically used to redirect accesses that include www to non-www or vice-versa. Example, when you call http://blogger.com, the call is redirected to www.blogger.com. An end-user may prefer to call a URL in any manner. You must ensure that all these calls are redirected to relevant URLs with content. SAP web dispatcher can be configured to send a redirect (301) to the client. To enable redirection add icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> to the web dispatcher's profile file. The parameter uses the following syntax: icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> = PREFIX=<URL prefix>[, FROM=<pattern for URL>, FROMPROT=<incoming protocol>, FOR=<pattern for host name:port>,TO=<new URL prefix>, PROT=<protocol>, HOST=<host>, PORT=<port number/name>] Let's say you want to redirect all the HTTP requests on mysource.com on 80 port to mytarget.com on HTTPS 443 port icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, FROM=*, FROMPROT=http, FOR=mysource.com:80,
