62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

62 Troubleshooting

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports

This section lists common problems and solutions

MDM Console cannot connect to database

A possible reason for this is that the DBMS settings are incorrect for your database

n For MS SQL Server Use Host or Named Instancen For Oracle and MaxDB Use SID

Connection test with SRM-MDM Catalog Utility fails

Possible reasons for this are

n MDM Java API version does not match the MDM server version Check the MDM server versionand MDM Java API version

n The required SAP NetWeaver MDM Server ports are not accessible from SAP NetWeaverApplication Server Java Check that ports 20003 20004 20005 on the MDM Server host are usedby the MDM Server and not by another application and that there is no firewall between MDMServer host and AS Java host that blocks the access for these ports
