AS JAVA Troubleshooting : Bootstrap Stops Due to Configuration Problems

Symptom:

AS Java bootstrap fails to synchronize the system’s files and stops with one of the following exit codes: 501, 502, 510, 545.

Scenario Type: Error analysis

SAP NetWeaver Component: Application Server Java (AS Java)

Analysis:

The bootstrap can fail to synchronize the engine's files due to problems with the configuration of the module.

Solution:

1. Find a detailed description of the problem in the bootstrap log files, which are located in /usr/sap/<SID>/JC<XX>/work/ folder. The log files are:

○       dev_bootstrap* - logs from the Java Startup and Control Framework that shows the parameters with which the bootstrap was started.

○       log_bootstrap* - logs from the execution of the bootstrap that show the execution flow from the last session and the possible errors.

○       jvm_bootstrap* - logs from the JVM output for the bootstrap process that show possible JVM problems during the bootstrap execution.
      

2. Proceed depending on the particular exit code.
