ABAP stage didn't work due to CPI-C error

Post by gordonxiao »

Hi All,

Has any one used ABAP stage in DataStage Extract Pack for SAP R/3 to extract data from SAP? I have created an ABAP stage according to the handbook instructions. After that, I validated the stage and it's OK. But when I tried to run the job, the following error message occured:

Test2..ABAP_EXT_for_R3_0: CPI-C initialization failure

Any idea is appreciated, thanks!

Regards,
Gordon

Yes, we've had this, but it was quite some time ago. I think it might have been to do with ports not being open on the DS server, I think the port number matches the SAP system number, so system number 00 communicates on port 0. I'll update this post if I think of anything else.

Bear in mind that when you click the "Validate" button, that's your client connecting to SAP, but when you run the job, it's the DataStage server connecting.

Do you have an SAP logon pad installed on your desktop. If yes, then try logging through it with a normal user.

Hi,

Can you tell me which version of SAP that you are trying to extract from?
Thanks,

Hi Naveen,
It is SAP_R_3_3 . The guy who installed it on the server, that GUI looks good, I guess I need to install the Client peice.

Hi Vinay,

If you are using SAP R/3 Pack to extract data from SAP 3.1. Then it will not work. It seems that the SAP R/3 pack is not compatible with SAP 3.1. However, it works well with the higher version SAP 4.7.

This problem was reported to the Ascential Support and they did confirm the incompatibility with SAP 3.1 version.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi Vinay,

I dont think I have ever got that error. Like you said in an other post, you seem to have a license issue, which would explain this error too.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi,
Got this issue resolved, it was with the role of the CPI-C ID , it lacked some authorizations.
Thanks for your inputs .
