2525902 - SAP does not start: "Failed to Start Local Command"

At least one of the SAP processes is not starting.

The following trace entries are seen at "stderrX" file ("X" is a number starting from zero), at the "work" folder:

(<PID>) New Child Process created.
(<PID>) Starting local Command:
Command:  dw.sapSID_INSTANCE
           pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/SID_INSTANCE_hostname
(<PID>) **** Failed to Start Local Command. No such file or directory ****
(<PID>) Exiting with Return-Code -106. (Local execution failed)

• "PID" would have been the ID of the process if it had not failed to start;
• "dw" is an example and is related to the Dispatcher process (disp+work).
  This could be "ms" for the Message Server, "en" for the Enqueue Server, "ig" for the IGS, and so on.

The error message can also be:

• SAP Netweaver release independent
• SAP running on Linux/UNIX servers
