Cause

 

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

    smwebas.home /mydomain/myserver/myapp/siteminder/webagent/sapwebas/conf

The OS file system shows webasagent instead of webagent :
    
ls.txt :

  /mydomain/myserver/myapp/siteminder:
  total 57M
  drwxrwxrwx 4 myuser mygroup 256 Sep  7 09:18 webasagent

 

Environment

 

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

  - Policy Server 12.8SP4 on RedHat 7;
     JDK jdk8u265-b01;

 

Resolution

 

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

  From 

  smwebas.home /mydomain/myserver/myapp/siteminder/webagent/sapwebas/conf

  change it to 

  smwebas.home /mydomain/myserver/myapp/siteminder/webasagent/sapwebas/conf

- Restart the SAP server to solve this error;
