SAP BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Question 64:

Remote server starting

We are currently running 4.7 enterprise on Oracle

9.2.0.6, on Solaris 9. I am in the process of upgrading

production which has a central instance server and 3

Application servers where the Sapmnt directory is

shared out from the central instance server. I

upgraded the kernel on the central instance with no

problems, but when I try to start SAP on the APP

servers I receive an error message stating the database

must be started from a remote server. I have changed

all environment variables but I still receive the error

message. What could be the issue?

A: Ensure that the Oracle client is properly installed on

each of the application servers. Also, make certain that

you are using the latest versions of all of the kernel,

associated files (R3trans, tp, startdb, stopdb, etc.) and

the DB library.
