Operation Mode Errors (SAP Library - Configuration of SAP NetWeaver)

Operation Mode Errors

Purpose

If an operation mode switch fails, the most frequent cause is inconsistency in the instance definition. Two examples of this are:

A different number of profiles or a different total number of work processes are defined for day operation and for night operation.
A server was started with a different configuration than the configuration described in the instance definition.

If these problems occur, the Control Panel displays the message Operation mode non-standard or Work processes non-standard.

Process Flow

To solve this problem:

Make the necessary changes to the instance definition

Copy the current instance status to the instance definition.

Other Servers Cannot Be Started Remotely (UNIX systems only)

If you cannot start servers from the control panel, most likely the remote command rexec could not be executed. This is, in turn, often because the . netrc file required for a remote logon on a UNIX server has not been correctly maintained.
