Environment

- ERP Agent 12.51 on SAP 7.50 on RedHat 7;
     (ca-erp-webas-12.51-rhas30-x86-64.bin);

Cause

The smwebas.home doesn't have the correct path as the webagent doesn't exist, but rather webasagent:

smwebas.home /{path_to_sap}/siteminder/webagent/sapwebas/conf

The OS file system shows webasagent instead of webagent:

# ls /{path_to_sap}/siteminder/

  webasagent

Resolution

1. On the RedHat box, in the SAP GUI VM Parameters / System, modify the value of smwebas.home:
   
   From 
   

   smwebas.home /{path_to_sap}/siteminder/webagent/sapwebas/conf

   
   change it to
   
   smwebas.home /{path_to_sap}/siteminder/webasagent/sapwebas/conf
   
   
2. Restart the SAP server to solve this error.
