Something went wrong connecting to the SAPCONTROL SOAP API

[Banane6077]

Summary

I am sorry in advance, cuz this might be not a Bug. I don't know.

I wanted to make an simple Playbook which is tryin' to get the Status of the SAP Process but on this particular Server i get following.

On some other Server i get an successful output.

I would appreciate to get some help.

Playbook:

- name: GetProcessList with sysnr
  hosts: all
  become: false

  collections:
    - community.sap_libs

  tasks:
    - name: Execute SAP Control Command
      community.sap_libs.sap_control_exec:
        sysnr: "01"
        function: "GetProcessList"

@Banane6077 at a guess without using this Ansible Module, I would not use hostname as localhost given how SAP handles connections and resolves using /etc/hosts, put in the hostname or IP Address and show the result?

[rainerleber]

Hi, the hostname in the module call is missing. Execution from local host would be ok because it utilizes the hostagents soap api. But at the moment the module try to connect to 127.0.0.1

[rainerleber]

- name: GetProcessList with sysnr
  community.sap_libs.sap_control_exec:
    hostname: 192.168.8.15
    sysnr: "01"
    function: GetProcessList

[Banane6077]

Hello, thanks for your input! I get still the same error:

[rainerleber]

Could you share your module call again.

Here are a few reasons and maybe solutions:

Maybe a firewall blocks the call? Do you provide the right sysnr? As an alternative provide the port instead.

[Banane6077]

Hello and thank you for your help.

I figured that not every SAP Server has the Process Number "01" some of them has the number "0" so that was probably it! Sorry for wasting your guys time and asking this but i am complete newbie in Ansible and SAP and tryin' my way into SAP Base Administration.

Thanks anyway!
