Introduction
This document describes most common problems that may be encountered when attempting to connect to an SAP R/3 server and log on as an SAP user. Fixes, work-arounds, and referrals are provided to help you overcome these common problems: Desktop services file changed or damaged Incorrect SAP server host name or IP address Incorrect SAP System Number Slow SAPGUI Performance Desktop Resources and SAPGUI Password is in the “Exception Table”, too easy to guess, not secure Determining Which Version of the SAPGUI You Are Using Network connection problems

Common SAPGUI Problems and Solutions
2.1
Desktop Services File Changed or Damaged
2.1.1
Symptoms
There are two possible error messages for this problem. If you are logging in using a “Logon Group” like “Atlas”, “FDC Operations”, or “GOH-Workgroup2”, you will receive this “load balancing error 88” message:
If you are logging directly into a particular SAP server, you will see this “service unknown” error:
The error window usually appears very quickly when you attempt to log into an R/3 system: This means that SAPGUI cannot find an entry in your desktop services file. (This message is also a symptom of not reaching the R/3 server, but that message has a slower response time.) 2.1.2
Solution
Locate the user’s desktop services file: For Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems, the file path is “C:\Windows\services” For Windows NT and Windows 2000, the file path is “C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\services” Examine the services file, looking for the SAP port definitions. There should be entries for ports “sapdp00” through “sapdp99”, “sapgw00” through “sapgw99”, and messge server entries like “sapmsHP1”, “sapmsPRD”, “sapmsPE1”, etc. Compare the contents of the services file to the sample file in the Appendix below. You will probably find that the SAP service entries beginning with “sapdp00” are missing.

Missing SAP port definitions can also be restored manually, by copying the entries from another system, or entering them into the services file using an editor, e.g. Notepad. Note: For Windows NT and Windows 2000 desktops, the services file is under the control of the Administrative User. You will need administrator privileges to make changes to the file. Use the “Install Privilege Tool” to grant administrative privileges. 2.1.3
Explanation
If you are installing or configuring new network devices, like PCMCIA network adapter cards or modem cards, the installation or upgrade program may replace the IP services file. This often happens to people who use a docking station with a network card when in their local office, but switch to a PCMCIA network card when they are working at other Nortel Networks sites. Unfortunately, switching from one network interface to the other runs a network configuration program that replaces the user’s services file with its own version. Any special port definitions that were added to the default file are lost. The repair script “sap_services.bat” appends the SAP port definitions to the services file. The list of ports includes message server entries for all known SAP systems. Existing services file entries belonging to other applications are not lost.

Common SAPGUI Problems and Solutions
2.2
Incorrect SAP R/3 Host Name or Address
2.2.1
Symptoms
You receive this error message when attempting to log into SAP R/3:
This means that the Domain Name Server cannot find the host server you are asking for. A similar message results if you ask for an IP address that is not available. 2.2.2
Solution
First, make sure you have spelled the host server name correctly, or entered the IP address correctly. If the host name or IP address is being issued from a logon icon that you have used before, then it is probably correct, and the host itself is unreachable. You can test whether the host is reachable using the ICMP Echo command, usually called “ping”. Open a DOS window and enter “ping” followed by the host name or IP address. If you do no receive an echo reply from the host, the disconnect may be caused at any point on the network between the desktop and the server. Start by pinging other hosts you know about to see if they reply. If they do not reply to their host name, try using their IP address, if you know it. If none reply, try pinging your own desktop’s IP address. If that fails, there is a network stack problem, and you need to call NT4HELP to get the network software reinstalled and/or reconfigured. If you find that host servers reply to their IP address, but not to their host names, then you have a Domain Name Server (DNS) problem, which may be due to a configuration error on your desktop, or that the DNS server is unreachable. In either case, you probably need to call NT4HELP to get the problem fixed. Similarly, if you request an R/3 server by host name and you get a very slow initial response, this may be due to the DNS server having to look up the host’s IP address. The DNS server may be very busy, or it may have to refer the question to a lot of its fellow DNS servers before it finds one that knows the answer. If this is a chronic problem, try using the IP address instead, so the DNS does not have to look it up. The only disadvantage of using the IP address directly is that sometimes IP addresses are changed by the network administrators, whereas host names usually remain the same for the working life of the server. However, IP addresses for the SAP servers are not changed very often, and the quicker response for each login you do is definitely worth the trouble of having to change the IP address once or twice.

2.3
Logon Group Configuration Problem
2.3.1
Symptoms
The user attempts to access any SAP System via the logon group “Atlas”, “GOH-WorkGroup1”, ”GOH-WorkGroup2”, “Customer Admin”, “EMEA”, “Financial Admin”, “Human Resources”, “Ireland”, “Operations”, “Public” or and receives a network timeout error. There might be a problem with the configuration with the logon groups. To see if users are using Logon Groups: Go to Saplogon – select one of the SAP systems and click on “Properties”. The “Application Server” field is the Logon Group name and should be greyed out. The Note: Saplogon-pad will not have the ‘Properties’ option.
2.3.2
Solution
This may be because the IP address setting in the server “Attributes” tab in SMLG is incorrect, or more likely, the IP address setting is missing. If there is no IP address attribute, the message server will assigning its default address for the application server. Unfortunately, the default subnet could be private, so the user cannot access the server by that route. Please route case to Basis Team to re-configure the Logon Groups. Note: This problem can appear to be intermittent if only one server is misconfigured and the rest are correct.

2.4
Incorrect R/3 System Number
2.4.1
Symptoms
You are attempting to log into an SAP R/3 system that you have not used before. You set up an entry in SAPlogon, specifying the host name or IP address, and an R/3 system number of 01. You then attempt to log on using the new entry. After a delay, you receive the following error message:
2.4.2
Solution
Check your configuration information for the R/3 system. You will probably find that the system number is not 01, but 49, or some other number. Also, you must specify a two-digit system number, complete with leading zero, for numbers under 10. The repair file “sap_ms.add” in the Appendix lists the message server entries for all currently active SAP systems. You can derive the system number from the entry by taking the last two digits from the port number. For example, the message server port entry for HP1 is: sapmsHP1
3642/tcp
That means that the system number for HP1 is 42. Similarly, the system number for PE1 is 28, MD1 is 87, etc. 2.4.3
Explanation
This error message usually means that you have reached a UNIX host, but the SAP R/3 dispatcher has not picked up your connection. This may be because the dispatcher is only accepting calls for a different system number, e.g. 49, or that SAP R/3 is not running on this system (it is down, or not installed). Missing SAP system number definitions can be reapplied to the services file using the repair script “sap_ms.add”, available on the following servers. Click on an entry to execute the script. System

Note that if you receive this error immediately after trying to connect, it is more likely to be a problem with the “services” file on your desktop. See the section “Desktop Services File Changed or Damaged” above.

Common SAPGUI Problems and Solutions
2.5
Slow SAPGUI Performance on Wide Area Networks
2.5.1
Symptoms
It takes more than a minute for SAPGUI to start up and connect to the server. This is most likely to happen in remote locations where network access is slow. 2.5.2
Solution
Since the network is slow, reconfigure SAPGUI to send and receive less data. There are two procedures to follow: 1)
Select the old style SAPGUI screen using the SAP Configuration tool. There should be an icon on your desktop called “SAP Configuration” that looks like this:
Double-click to open it. You will see a small replica of the SAPGUI screen. There is a check box to “Use New Visual Design”. If the box is checked, click on it to remove the check. Click the “Apply” button, and close the window. The next time you run SAPGUI, you will see a simplified screen with less animation, which makes less demand on network resources.

2)
Select the “low speed connection” setting in the SAPlogon screen. Open SAPlogon, select logon entry for the system in question, and click on “Properties”. Click on the “Advanced” button to bring up the “Advanced Options” window shown below. Select the “Low Speed Connection” check box, and select the “OK” button to complete the task.
This box should be checked
2.5.3
Explanation
Running the “old style” SAPGUI screen reduces demand on the desktop by using fewer colours and turning off animation effects. Initial startup runs faster. The “Low Speed Connection” option reduces demand on network resources by transferring the minimum data required to perform a task. For example, when displaying a large quantity of data, the server sends the data page by page when the user asks for it; it does not “read ahead” and transfer data in advance. This means that there will be less delay in presenting the first screen of data for a transaction. 2.5.4
Installation Setup
If you are issuing a preconfigured “SAPlogon.ini” configuration file to your users, you can set the “Low Speed Connection” option as default. Edit the file, setting the entries as follows: [LowSpeedConnection] Item1=1 Item2=1

2.6
Desktop Resources and SAPGUI
SAPGUI makes significant demands on desktop resources, especially RAM, virtual memory, and graphics memory. When these resources run short, a number of symptoms will appear. 2.6.1
Symptoms
The following window pops up when you starting a new SAPGUI session, or performing a task that requires SAPGUI to open a new window:
After a minute, this message is usually followed by:
After SAPGUI startup, resources may be taken up by other applications, and you will receive this warning:
2.6.2
Solution
You may be able to start SAPGUI successfully after you free up some desktop resources by closing other applications. If that does not help, check that you have enough RAM to run SAPGUI. SAP recommends a minimum of 128MB of RAM if you want to run SAPGUI along with other applications. You should also have plenty of spare space on the C:\ drive to accommodate the Windows virtual memory page file (200MB or more free).

Common SAPGUI Problems and Solutions Another suggestion: If the Microsoft Office Shortcut toolbar is active on your desktop, but you do not use it much, you can turn it off to free up memory. The shortcut bar may be located at the left or right of the screen. You can remove it by clicking on the box at the top left, and selecting the “Exit” option. Click here to see options
A second window will appear to ask whether you want the shortcut bar to be activated each time you restart the system. Select the “No” button to ensure it is not restarted automatically.

Password is in the “Exception Table”
2.7.1
Symptom
The user is choosing a new password. The system responds with this rather cryptic error message:
2.7.2
Solution
The password chosen is too easy to guess. Select the check mark to accept the message. Make up a more secure password, and try again. 2.7.3
Explanation
The system has a table of passwords that are considered too easy to guess. If a user chooses one of the passwords in the table, the message above is issued. Passwords to avoid are any with “NORTEL” in them, or people’s first names, or sequences like “12345678” and “QWERTY”, etc.

Determining the Version of SAPGUI You Are Using
Some SAPGUI (and even SAP short dump) problems can be traced back to an out-of-date version of the SAPGUI on the user’s desktop. Here is how to determine the version of SAPGUI the user has on the desktop: 1)
Double click on the SAPlogon icon on your desktop. Left click at the top left hand corner of the SAPLOGON screen and you will be able to see the window menu as shown below.

2.9
Using SAPsweep to Uninstall Old Versions of SAPGUI
You must always uninstall old versions of SAPGUI before attempting to install a new version. Normally, the uninstall option in the Program menu will effectively remove the old version. The path is: Start
→
Programs → SAP Frontend
→
Remove SAP Frontend
If the uninstall fails, or you have an older version of SAPGUI that has no uninstall option, the SAPsweep utility can be used to clean up the system before installing the new version. SAPsweep can also be used when an installation fails, leaving an incomplete installation behind. The SAPsweep program can be executed from the following file server location: \\zcarc003\groups\AtlasGlobalHR\GlobalHRSupport\sapsweep.exe Note: SAPsweep consists of two executable files: sapsweep.exe called by the user sapregsv.exe called by sapsweep.exe to make a backup copy of the registry If you wish to provide SAPsweep support on an additional file server, both binaries must be copied to the new location.

Network Connection Problems
2.10
This section describes how SAPGUI uses the network to connect to the server, and the network services that must be in place before the connection can be made. It is assumed that all users have basic TCP/IP networking software installed on their systems. 2.10.1
Verifying Basic TCP/IP Network Connectivity
The user’s local desktop support team is responsible for setting up basic network services so the users can connect to email and other applications. The Basis team is responsible for ensuring that the SAP Network Interface (NI) layer runs on top of TCP/IP network, and that the user’s SAPGUI client can connect via NI to the SAP servers. The general approach in troubleshooting network problems is to start with basic TCP/IP service, and test each additional network layer until the SAPGUI can be connected to the server. The steps are: check whether other network based applications are running successfully, e.g. email. Check the desktop TCP/IP address allocation using the “winipcfg” utility. This ensures that the user has received an IP address from the local DHCP server. Go to the Start → Run menu, enter “winipcfg”, and execute it. The following window will be displayed. Select the network adapter that the user is currently using (PPP is for dial up connections). The IP Address field must contain a valid IP address for the network the user resides on. For internal Nortel networks, the address will start with 47.
If the user travels to another Nortel site, the laptop system may retain an address from the “home” office location that will not work on this site. Use the “Release” and “Renew” buttons to get a new address from the local DHCP server. Use the TCP/IP “ping” command to see if the user’s system can be reached using the IP address reported by “winipcfg”. For example, log into sequoia and run “/usr/sbin/ping –s 47.130.114.179” to check out the path from HP1 to the user’s desktop. Similarly, you can run the “ping” command on the user’s desktop to see if sequoia is reachable from there. Open a DOS window, and run “ping 47.81.128.132”.

Common SAPGUI Problems and Solutions
Test TCP/IP with other applications, e.g. email. Once TCP/IP is working, you can concentrate on the SAP Network Interface layer. 2.10.2
SAP Network Interface Layer
If the user is receiving errors related to “Protocol Family”, but basic TCP/IP seems to be working, examine the NI layer for problems. The utility “niping” is used to test the NI layer. Test whether the desktop is properly configured to support the NI layer. Open a DOS window, change to the directory C:\Program files\sappc\sapgui, and run the command “niping –t”. This should produce a list of NI functional tests, ending with the message “ *** SELFTEST O.K. ***”. There is an example of this test output in the Appendix below. The next step is to test NI communications end-to-end. Log into sequoia and enter the command “niping –s” to start up the niping test server. Leave it running while you start up the niping client on the user’s desktop. Enter the command “niping –c –H 47.81.128.132. The niping client and server programs should then be able to talk to each other over the network. Note any error messages issued, and the response time. The user’s end of this dialog should look like this: Thu May 31 15:17:29 2001 connect to server o.k. Thu May 31 15:17:30 2001 send and receive 10 messages (len 1000) ------- times avg 93000 max 110000 min 50000 bw 21.00 excluding max av2 96250 bw2 20.29
----usecs usecs usecs kb/sec and min: usecs kb/sec
The server end of the niping test dialog looks like this: Thu May 31 19:14:25 2001 ready for connect from client ... Thu May 31 19:15:14 2001 connect from host dmclaren-1.ca.nortel.com, client 2 o.k.
Capture any errors you receive to a file for reporting to SAP.

2.11
Examples of Network Problems
2.11.1
Symptoms
The user is unable to connect to the SAP servers. TCP/IP is working correctly, e.g. email access is working correctly. The following error message is displayed when the user attempts to reach SAP:
Testing with “niping –t” produces the error messages: Wed May 30 14:47:27 2001 function name parameters return code --------------------------------------------------------------------NiMyHostName (..) rc = 0 ***LOG Q0I=> NiPSocket: WSASocket (10047: WSAEAFNOSUPPORT: Address family not supported by protocol family) [ninti.c 1105] *** ERROR => NiILocalCheck: NiPSocket (rc=-1) [nixxi.c 1758] NiMyAddrVerify (Mauricio_Ortiz, NULL) rc = -16 *** ERROR => NiTSelfTest: NiMyAddrVerify (rc=-16) [nixxtst. 1640]
This suggests that the NI software cannot reach the local (user’s desktop) host called “Mauricio_Ortiz”. Note that this host name is 14 characters long. Compare these messages to the successful test in the Appendix below, where the “NiMyAddrVerify” test worked correctly. 2.11.2
Solution
The user’s desktop is identified by a host name that is too long. The maximum host name that the SAP network will recognize is 10 characters, e.g. dmclaren_1. The solution is to ask the desktop support team to change the host name to a shorter name, then reinstall SAPGUI.
