Environment
Cause
Cause type: Configuration
Root Cause: uxjcs.ini file configured incorrectly or traffic closed against the SAP Application Server in the associated port ( by default 3600).
Resolution
First of all, verify that the SAPMS port is opened from the Server where the Manager for SAP has been configured.
This can be checked via a simple telnet command such as
telnet <sapserver> 3600 (or the used port)
If the traffic is closed, ask the Network team to open it and that will fix the connectivity issue.
Else, configure correctly the file uxjcs.ini ( in folder <dollar_universe/data/nodefiles) and point it to the correct SAP system.
Then restart the SAP Manager to take into account the modification.
Examples:
- For non-load balancing configuration, you need to give the TargetHost a value, and not to declare the Group, R3Name, MessageServerHost entries.
- For load balancing configuration, you do not need to give any value to the TargetHost entry, but you need to enter values for the Group, R3Name and MessageServerHost entries.
Furthermore, the GatewayHost:and the TargetServer need to have the same number.
Example:
TargetServer: 00
GatewayHost: wblccs00
or
TargetServer: 01
GatewayHost: wblccs01
Additional Information
Documentation of the configuration of the uxjcs.ini available here
Example of error messages found in the dev_rfc.trc file generated by the SAP Manager that proved a port closed in the sapms server:
