SAP S/4HANA Error 5347: LxP Resource Initialization Failure
Description
This error indicates that a crucial LxP (Learning Experience Platform or similar extension) resource failed to initialize within SAP S/4HANA. It typically occurs during system startup, user login, or when attempting to access specific functionalities that rely on the LxP component.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_LA_LXP_RES_INIT_5
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect LxP Configuration
The configuration settings for the LxP resource within SAP S/4HANA are either missing, incomplete, or incorrectly defined.
Dependent Service Unavailability
Essential backend services or system components that the LxP resource depends on are not running or are inaccessible.
Corrupted LxP Component Files
The files or data associated with the LxP resource itself have become corrupted or are missing from the SAP S/4HANA installation.
Network Connectivity Issues
Problems with network connectivity are preventing the LxP resource from reaching required internal or external services.
Solutions
4 solutions available1. Verify SAP Gateway Configuration and Service Activation medium
Ensures the SAP Gateway is correctly configured and the necessary services for LxP are active.
1
Access SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer (transaction /UI2/FLPD_CONF or /UI2/FLPD_CUST).
2
Navigate to the relevant catalog and group for the application experiencing the error.
3
Check the system alias configured for the OData service. Ensure it points to a valid SAP Gateway system.
4
Verify that the OData service corresponding to the LxP resource is active in transaction SICF and /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE on the Gateway system. The service name will often be related to the application or the specific LxP component.
5
If the service is inactive, activate it and check for any dependent services that might also need activation.
2. Check SAP HANA Database Connectivity and Permissions medium
Confirms that the SAP S/4HANA system can connect to the underlying SAP HANA database and has the necessary permissions for LxP resources.
1
Log in to your SAP S/4HANA system.
2
Execute transaction SM59 and verify the RFC destination for your SAP HANA database. Ensure it is active and can connect.
3
In SAP HANA Studio or SAP HANA Cockpit, connect to your HANA database.
4
Identify the database user that the SAP system uses to connect to HANA (often found in the RFC destination in SM59).
5
Grant the necessary privileges to this user for the schemas and tables involved in the LxP resource. This might include SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and EXECUTE on procedures. The exact privileges depend on the specific LxP functionality.
GRANT SELECT ON <schema_name>.<table_name> TO <hana_user>;
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION <schema_name>.<function_name> TO <hana_user>;6
If LxP relies on specific HANA views or procedures, ensure those are also accessible and executable by the database user.
3. Review SAP Notes and Apply Relevant Corrections advanced
Addresses known issues by applying SAP Notes that provide fixes for the LxP resource initialization failure.
1
Access the SAP Support Portal (support.sap.com).
2
Search for SAP Notes related to 'LxP Resource Initialization Failure', 'ERR_TEXT_LA_LXP_RES_INIT_5', and potentially the specific application or component causing the error.
3
Filter results by your SAP S/4HANA version and Support Package Stack (SPS).
4
Carefully read the description and prerequisites of any relevant SAP Notes.
5
If a Note provides a correction, use transaction SNOTE to download and implement it in your SAP S/4HANA system. Ensure you follow the implementation instructions precisely, including any manual steps.
6
After implementing the Note, restart relevant application servers or services if recommended by the Note.
4. Restart SAP Gateway and Application Server Instances easy
A quick restart can often resolve transient issues with resource initialization.
1
Identify the SAP Gateway instance and the application server instance hosting the problematic LxP resource.
2
Use transaction SMGW to check the status of the Gateway. You can also use the 'Goto' -> 'Expert Functions' -> 'Shutdown' and 'Startup' options, but this should be done with caution and during a maintenance window.
3
Alternatively, for a more controlled restart, use the SAP Management Console (SMC) or command-line tools (e.g., `sapcontrol` on Linux/Unix) to stop and start the relevant instances.
sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function StopSystem
sapcontrol -nr <instance_number> -function StartSystem4
After restarting, attempt to access the LxP resource again.
