Issues faced

E-Sourcing system clocks indefinitely.

Error – Class definition error

Resolution

Set the class path mentioned below for Instance node in Config tool

./bin/boot/boot.jar;./bin/boot/jaas.jar;./bin/system/bytecode.jar;./usr/sap/ESD_CLM/lib/endorsed/xalan.jar;/usr/sap/ESD_CLM/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar;/usr/sap/ESD_CLM/lib/endorsed/xml-apis.jar;/usr/sap/ESD_CLM/lib/jcschart.jar;

Look out for parameter java.awt.headless, if it is defined for both the dispatcher as well as server node.



© 2010 SAP AG 27

For some reason this parameter was not reflecting in server node. Just interchange the position of this parameter in configtool. Restart the instance.

Check the parameter definition in http://<server name:<port>
