SAP Note 164937 - NiPBind: service 'sap????' in use

Component : Network Interface - Client-Server-Technologie

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses an issue where system components like the dispatcher, gateway, or message server fail to start due to occupied network ports. Traces indicate the error with a "service 'sapgw03' in use" message. This situation arises when required communication ports (specified by instance number) are already in use by another application, preventing SAP from binding these ports. The remedy involves using "netstat" on Windows or "lsof" on Unix to identify and release these ports, ensuring no port conflicts occur during SAP startup. It is crucial for system administrators to verify port availability to avoid such conflicts.
