2785069 - SAP fails to start with profile issues on IBM i

Symptom

  • SAP is failing to start on IBM i but is not giving any errors.
  • In the startsap log, there is something similar to:
  • readInstInfoFromProfile: examining profile
    "/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_<INS>_<hostname>".
    collectSystemInfo: acknowledge as valid instance: <SID>_<INS>_<HOSTNAME>.
  • The profile mentioned here does not match the SID, instance name or hostname in your system, or what is found in /SAPMNT/<SID>/profile.
  • Possibly, /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/PROFILE is showing as a DIR instead of a SYMLINK (option 12 in green screen, "work with links")
