ADM100 Lesson: Appendix - Troubleshooting Example
Task 3 Example 1: SAPLPD
SAPLPD could not be started.
1. Start the program ZPRINTERROR in your SAP system.
a) Start transaction SA38 and enter the program ZPRINTERROR.
Choose F8 to Execute.
2. Performanotherfrontendprintwithimmediateoutput. Printthe
output of transaction SM51.
a) This time, SAPLPD should not be started, and no print output
should be produced.
The procedure corresponds to task 2.2.. The solution is described
there in detail.
3. Analyze the error. To do this, compare the trace information and
the information from transaction SP01 with the information for the
successful front end print from the previous task.
a) The report ZPRINTERROR entered in the SAP system that the
system should look for SAPLPD in the directory under
the SAPgui directory. That is, SAPLPD is not found.
The procedure corresponds to tasks 2.3 to 2.6. The solution is
described there in detail. The only difference is that you find the
following entry in lprintg.log:
TCP_START called
Trying to start \SAPLPD.EXE -I
Trying to start \SAPLPD.EXE -I -r51x
Setting lock for SAPLPD
Releasing lock
TCP_START finished
(x=6 for the DEV system (=DEV), x=7 for the QAS system
(=QAS)). The system is therefore searching for SAPLPD
in a directory in which it does not exist.
