3072670 - ICM hangs during instance startup

An SAP instance does not start completely (it stays in state "yellow").

You can logon to the instance using SAP GUI, and the ICM status is shown as "Not running" at the transaction SMICM, although you can see the ICM process running at operating system level.

The dev_icm trace ends with entries similar to the below:

If SAP is being installed (i.e., the installation of a new system is being performed), SWPM shows the following error:

"(...) Last error reported by the step: The JVM reports an exception during execution of class ( com.sap.sdt.ins.component.nw_ci_instance_abap_reports.ActivateICM ) and function executeStepClass.
