Upgraded to Ubuntu 20.10. Can't start Mini SAP server after restarting Virtual machine.

[Francisco Milán]

Hi there,

    I think I found an issue and I wonder if you can have a look at this.

Background:
I have Focal Fossa on VirtualBox and I use it to run SAP NetWeaver Developer Edition (refer to the link at the bottom of this message), after upgrading to Groovy Gorilla I'm able to start the sap server and I can log in to the SAP system, I'm also able to restart the sap server as many times as I want and I can also log in to SAP without any problem (see the attached file "Image 01.png" and related log files).

Issue:
After restarting the virtual machine I'm not able to start the sap server anymore (see the attached file "Image 02.png" and related log file).

I don't know the specific package in Ubuntu that has the issue, so I'm not sure if I'm filing this bug in the correct area, I started using this tool to report bugs recently (this is just the second Ubuntu issue I have reported ever).

Please let me know in case you need any additional information to fix this issue.

Thanks a lot,

Francisco Milan.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 20.10 (groovy) reached end-of-life on July 22, 2021.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

Please let us know if you do and assign to a specific Ubuntu package or alternative project otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days.

There is a workaround for this issue, as described in this blog:
https://blogs.sap.com/2021/06/07/adjusting-installer-script-for-sap-netweaver-dev-edition-for-distros-with-kernel-version-5.4-or-higher/comment-page-1/#comment-680302

Work-around:
Enable traceflag 11889 in the RUN_<server> file. This traceflag prevents initialization of the “Simplified Native Access Plan (SNAP)” feature buring boot.”

Best regards,
