Component : Startup Service -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/877795 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
As of SAP Release 7.00, the "sapstartsrv" service has replaced the DCOM "SAPControl" interface with a new web service model to improve J2EE Engine management. Issues identified include malfunctions across various platforms such as Linux, Solaris, and Windows, frequent service crashes, incorrect environment restarts, authorization failures, and unresponsive web service interfaces. Problems also encompass handle leaks, incorrect system status reporting, and job object visibility issues in perfmon, among others. There are also noted difficulties with user authentications, logfile analyses, and alignments with LDAP registrations. Enhancements to the security of the web service interface and several operational challenges with UNIX and HA environments highlight the need for specific patches and updates.
