SAP S/4HANA Error 5349: LxP Resource Initialization Failure
Description
Error 5349 indicates a failure during the initialization of an LxP resource within SAP S/4HANA. This typically occurs when the system attempts to load or access language or localization-related data, preventing the affected component from functioning correctly.
Error Message
ERR_TEXT_LA_LXP_RES_INIT_7
Known Causes
4 known causesCorrupted or Missing LxP Resources
The required language or localization pack files are either missing from the system directories or have become corrupted, preventing their proper loading.
Incorrect System Configuration
SAP S/4HANA configuration settings related to language packs or resource paths are incorrectly defined, leading to the system being unable to locate or initialize the necessary resources.
Insufficient System Permissions
The SAP system user or process lacks the necessary read/write permissions to access the directories or files where the LxP resources are stored, causing initialization to fail.
Temporary System Resource Depletion
The server experienced a temporary shortage of memory or other critical system resources, preventing the full initialization of the LxP component at the time of the error.
Solutions
4 solutions available1. Restart SAP S/4HANA Instance easy
A simple restart can resolve transient resource initialization issues.
1
Log in to the SAP S/4HANA application server as a user with administrative privileges.
2
Open the SAP Management Console (SMC) or use the command line to stop the entire SAP system. The command to stop the SAP system varies based on your operating system and SAP installation. For example, on Linux, it might be `stopsap`.
stopsap3
Wait for all SAP instances and processes to completely shut down.
4
Start the SAP system again. For example, on Linux, it might be `startsap`.
startsap5
Monitor the system startup and check if the error 5349 is resolved.
2. Verify and Adjust SAP Kernel Parameters medium
Incorrect or insufficient kernel parameters can lead to resource allocation failures.
1
Access the SAP system profile parameters using transaction RZ10.
2
Select the instance profile for the affected instance and choose 'Display'.
3
Search for parameters related to shared memory, process management, and memory allocation. Key parameters to investigate include:
4
`ztta/roll_area`: Maximum size of a roll area in KB. Ensure this is sufficiently large.
5
`em/initial_size_MB`: Initial size of the extended memory in MB. Verify it's adequate.
6
`rdisp/max_sys_clients`: Maximum number of dialog work processes. Ensure this is not too low.
7
`abap/buffersize`: Size of the ABAP buffer. An undersized buffer can cause issues.
8
Consult SAP Notes and documentation for recommended values based on your S/4HANA version and system load. If modifications are needed, select 'Change', modify the parameter values, save the profile, and activate it.
9
Restart the SAP system as described in Solution 1 for the changes to take effect.
3. Check Operating System Resource Limits advanced
The operating system might be imposing limits on the resources SAP can allocate.
1
Log in to the SAP application server's operating system as a user with root or administrator privileges.
2
For Linux/Unix systems, check the `/etc/security/limits.conf` file and related configuration files for any user or process resource limits (e.g., `nproc`, `nofile`, `memlock`). Ensure these limits are sufficient for SAP processes.
cat /etc/security/limits.conf3
For Windows systems, check the system's performance monitor and event logs for any resource exhaustion warnings or errors (e.g., memory, handles). You may need to adjust system-wide resource settings or individual process limits.
4
Verify that the SAP user (the user under which the SAP system runs) has adequate permissions and is not subject to strict resource limitations.
5
If adjustments are made to OS limits, a system reboot or at least a restart of the SAP system might be necessary for the changes to be fully applied.
4. Analyze SAP System Logs for Deeper Insights advanced
Detailed analysis of SAP logs can pinpoint the exact cause of the initialization failure.
1
Access the SAP system logs using transaction SM21 (System Log).
2
Filter the logs for entries related to error code 5349 and the message 'ERR_TEXT_LA_LXP_RES_INIT_7'. Look for preceding or subsequent messages that might provide context.
3
Examine the work process trace files (transaction ST11) for the work process that failed to initialize. These traces often contain detailed error messages and stack dumps.
4
Check the developer traces (dev_w* files) for the relevant work process. These files are located in the SAP work directory on the application server.
5
If the logs point to a specific component or resource (e.g., database connection, shared memory segment, external library), investigate that area further. This might involve checking database logs, OS logs, or specific SAP component configurations.
6
If the root cause is not clear from the logs, consider opening a ticket with SAP Support, providing them with the relevant log files and trace information.
