If another SAP product updates the shared SAP JRE (during installation or upgrade, for example), the JVM
DLL that a given DA Windows service relies on might be deleted. When this happens, the DA Windows service
and its server or agent cannot start.
If an update to the shared SAP JRE renders your DA Windows service unable to start, locate the jvm.dll file
in the new JRE and update the path in the Windows service's _Service.ini file. For details on
_Service.ini files, see _Service.ini Initialization Files [page 14].
Set JVM Options Both in Run Script and in Service.ini File
The start options for a DA server or agent instance's Java virtual machine are stored in its RUN script.
However, an instance that has a Windows service loads JVM options from its _Service.ini file. If you modify
JVM options for a DA server or agent configured to run as a Windows service, be sure to update both the RUN
script and the _Service.ini file for the instance. For details on _Service.ini files, see _Service.ini
Initialization Files [page 14].
Adding or Updating JDBC JAR Files
When you add or update JDBC JARs, or any non-system JAR files, copy them into the lib directory for each
DA server or agent instance that runs as a Windows service:
● C:\SAP\DA-15_5\server\lib, or
● C:\SAP\DA-15_5\agent\lib
This is necessary because running DA servers and agents as Windows services relies on the Java classpath,
which does not support wildcards. Rather than requiring classpath modifications every time a non-system JAR
is added or updated, DA loads all non-system JARs from the appropriate lib directory. When you add a JAR to
the lib directory, stop and restart the DA instance to force it to read the new JAR.
_Service.ini Initialization Files
Each DA Windows service has an initialization file that specifies:
● Start options for the server or agent instance's Java virtual machine.
● The location of the JVM DLL file in the shared SAP JRE. (The shared JRE is used by the JVM and may be
used by other SAP software installed on this machine.)
● The location of the service's log file
The initialization file resides in the DA instance directory and is named as follows:
● For a DA server instance: DA_Server_<instanceName>_Service.ini
● For a DA agent instance: DA_Agent_<instanceName>_Service.ini
For example, the _Service.ini files for a server called myserver and an agent called myagent might be:
C:\SAP\DA-15_5\server\myserver\DA_Server_myserver_Service.ini
