SAM fails on first use

[Alex Machina]

After installing HPUX 11.0 (using IGNITE), first attempt to use SAM results in following message in /var/sam/log/samlog:

Entering Task Manager with task FAL_IS_MUL_SAMS.
Syntax Error: /usr/sam/lib/fal/fal.tm at line 1: Location: tm_parse:2495
Error Code: 7159

Sam then terminates.

Have you installed the latest SAM patch for 11.0?

Hi,

Try this as root and see if it works:

1. Rename the files /etc/sam/reg_*db to something
like /etc/sam/reg_*dbsav.

2. Execute these commands:

/usr/sam/lbin/tmreg /usr/sam/lib/*/*tm
/usr/sam/lbin/dareg /usr/sam/lib/*/*da

3. Execute the following commands for each directory
listed in the /etc/sam/reg_dirs.db file (if this
file does not exist, skip to step 4):

find -type f -name '*tm'. | xargs /usr/sam/lbin/tmreg
find -type f -name '*da'. | xargs /usr/sam/lbin/dareg

4. Test SAM.

5. If SAM works, remove the files saved in step 1.

Regards.

Steven.

maybe the fileset for SAM is not configured right. You can verify it with the following command:
swlist -l fileset -a state SystemAdmin

There should be a configured for every entry. If not, try to configure it with:
swconfig SystemAdmin

If SAM still fails after it is configured right, I would recomend to swremove SAM and install it new
