Description

This error indicates that an Analyzer component attempted to invoke its logging function (getLogger()) before the Analyzer itself had completed its initialization process. This typically occurs when system components or custom code try to interact with the Analyzer prematurely, leading to unexpected behavior or processing failures.

Error Message

ERR_TEXT_COMMON_GETLOGGER_BEFORE_INIT

🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes

⚠️

Incorrect Component Startup Order

SAP S/4HANA modules or integrated components are not starting in the expected sequence, causing the Analyzer to be called before its full initialization.

⚠️

Missing or Incomplete Configuration

The Analyzer component lacks essential configuration settings or dependencies, preventing it from initializing correctly before its methods are invoked.

⚠️

Custom Code Pre-Initialization Call

Custom ABAP code or extensions are attempting to access the Analyzer's logging capabilities before standard SAP initialization routines have completed.

⚠️

System Resource Contention

High system load or resource contention might delay the Analyzer's initialization, causing subsequent calls to fail due to timing issues.

Solutions

4 solutions available

1. Restart SAP Application Server Instance easy

A simple restart often resolves temporary initialization issues.

1

Log in to the SAP system using the SAP GUI with administrative privileges.

2

Navigate to transaction SMICM (ICM Monitor).

3

In the ICM Monitor, go to Administration -> Instance -> Soft Shutdown.

4

Wait for the instance to shut down gracefully. Then, go to Administration -> Instance -> Start.

5

Alternatively, use operating system commands to restart the SAP instance. For example, on Linux, you might use `sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function Stop` followed by `sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function Start`.

sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function Stop
sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function Start

6

Verify that the SAP application server instances are running and accessible.

2. Check and Re-initialize SAP Instance Profile Parameters medium

Incorrect or missing profile parameters can prevent the analyzer from initializing.

1

Identify the relevant instance profile for your SAP S/4HANA system. This is typically located in the SAP instance directory (e.g., `/sapmnt/<SID>/global/<profile_name>`).

2

Review the profile parameters related to logging and tracing. Key parameters might include `rdisp/logging_level`, `rdisp/max_wprun_time`, and any parameters specific to the analyzer component if documented.

3

Ensure that essential parameters are present and have valid values. If unsure, compare with a working system or consult SAP Notes for recommended settings.

4

If modifications are made to the profile, restart the SAP application server instance as described in the 'Restart SAP Application Server Instance' solution.

5

Use transaction RZ10 to edit and activate profile parameters. After editing, ensure you activate the profile and restart the instance for changes to take effect.

3. Verify SAP Kernel and Support Package Consistency advanced

Outdated or inconsistent kernel/support packages can lead to initialization errors.

1

Determine the current SAP kernel version and the installed support packages for your SAP S/4HANA system. You can check this in SAP GUI using transaction `SPAM` or `SAINT` for add-ons, and system information reports.

SAINT

2

Consult SAP Notes and the SAP S/4HANA Product Availability Matrix (PAM) to identify the recommended minimum kernel version and support package levels for your specific S/4HANA version.

3

If the kernel or support packages are outdated or inconsistent, plan for an upgrade. This is a significant operation and should be performed during a scheduled maintenance window.

4

Follow SAP's official documentation for kernel upgrades and support package installations. This typically involves downloading the necessary files from SAP Service Marketplace, applying them using `SAPCAR` and `SPAM`/`SAINT` (or SUM for S/4HANA), and performing system restarts.

SAPCAR

5

After applying updates, restart all SAP application server instances and the database.

4. Investigate SAP Trace and Log Files medium

Detailed error messages within trace files can pinpoint the root cause.

1

Identify the directory where SAP trace and log files are stored. This is usually under `/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance_name>/work/` on Linux or `C:\Program Files\SAP\<SID>\<instance_name>\work\` on Windows.

2

Look for files named `dev_w*` (work process traces), `dev_icm`, `dev_ic*` (ICM traces), and potentially specific analyzer-related trace files if known. The `SM21` transaction in SAP GUI can also provide system log entries.

SM21

3

Search these trace files for entries related to 'Analyzer', 'Logger', 'Initialization', or the specific error message 'ERR_TEXT_COMMON_GETLOGGER_BEFORE_INIT'.

4

Analyze the surrounding log entries to understand the sequence of events leading to the error. This might reveal dependencies on other services or configuration issues.

5

If the trace files provide specific error codes or module names, use these to search SAP Notes for known issues and solutions.
