Creating Portal and MetaMatrix DB Pool and EISConnectors

Version: 10 Validity:
Valid from 06.09.2005

Summary
Symptom
Missing DB Pools (Portal and Metamatrix) and EISConnectors

More Terms
dbms PL SP 19 sap j2ee engine corrupted connect startup failure

Cause and Prerequisites

Redeploying and reconfiguring the system from the scratch may not be convenient or is not desirable. Some particular manual steps have to be performed as well to avoid exceptions/crash of the dbms/server caused by already corrupted dbms content and to have the system in running state.

Solution
o For creating the DB Pools the following has to be done:

1. Make sure that the J2EE server is running 2. In the SAPJ2EE server console, run the following commands (in case

that the server is running in background, please follow note 531293, which explains how to obtain a console in this case. if needed run on other servers in the cluster): a) add dbpool b) Depending on the database, issue the REGISTER_POOL commands For the Portal DB Pool (sapep): ------------------------------------------For Oracle Server issue as one line: REGISTER_POOL sapep -defConn:50 -maxConn:120 -initConn:0 -user:<DBUser> -password:<DBPassword> -driver:oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver -url:jdbc:oracle:thin:@<SERVER>:<PORT>:<SID> -library:com.sap.jdbc_driver_references -poolType:local For SQL Server issue as one line: REGISTER_POOL sapep -defConn:50 -maxConn:120 -initConn:0 -user:<DBUser> -password:<DBPassword> -driver:com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver "-url:jdbc:sap:sqlserver://<SQL Server Host>:<Port>;DatabaseName=<PCDDB Name>" -library:com.sap.data_direct_driver_references -poolType:local

d) Click the Add button. Look in the folder: UNIX: /usr/sap/<j2ee_instance_name>/j2ee/j2ee_ <instance_number>/services/connectors/ Windows: <installation drive>:\usr\sap\<j2ee_instance_name>\j2ee\j2ee_ <instance_number>\services\connectors\ e) Select the file for the SAP connector: f) Click OK. g) Select the file for the JDBC connector: h) Click OK. jdbcConnector.rar SAPCFConnector.rar

i) Restart the engine Another option to create the EISConnectors is available via the Portal Analyzer:
