Hello,
The short dump ZDATE_LARGE_TIME_DIFF comes up if the database determines
a time difference to the application servers.
Please check if all your servers have the same time and are at the same
timezone.
Do you use NTP on Windows?
Are you using NTP to synchronise time.
Check note.

Hi. Thank you. Above solution is correct.
Hi Michael
I have the same question with yours. do you find the solution?
thanks.
Hi John.
Thanks.
Resolved the issue, problem was with the Internet Service Provider router. Some network routing problem not with SAP.

Hi Abdul
Thanks for the answer.
Here is what happened when I try to start Saprouter. (printscreen)
Then I check dev_rout

Something is wrong with the saprouttab, but I don´t know what.(printscreen sapreouttab)

Hi
I couldn't find any instruction on how to install a dialog instance on Windows whereas the DB and the ASCS + PAS resides on Linux system. I think my installation fails because Windows doesn't have access to some of the shared filesystems like /sapmnt. I want to provide the shared filesystems not via the Linux hosts, but via a filer which provides the shared file system via NFS and CIFS to all instances.
The error is:
ERROR 2013-08-14 15:00:20.615
CJSlibModule::writeError_impl()
CJS-30129 Creating node $(DIR_INSTALL) with type DIRECTORY failed. Original exception text was: syslib.filesystem.nodeCreationFailed:
Unable to create node \\cimat\sapmnt\ with type DIRECTORY: can't create parent node...
The hostname "cimat" is SAPGLOBALHOST, which is the virtual IP where my ASCS runs at. Of course, without a Samba share or something like this, the Windows server cannot access anything which is on cimat. And I don't want my Windows dialog instance to acces anything on the Linux hosts, but get access to the shared folder via a network drive comming from a filer (the exact same directories which will be mounted via NFS by the Linux servers will also be provided as CIFS shares to the Windows host).
How can I explain sapinst that he should acces the shared folders the way I want??
Matt
Hi Matt,
Check Note 1067221, which is the main note for heterogeneous installations.
SAPinst will always try to access the SAP Global Host, from an Windows host, using the path
\\<sapglobalhost\sapmnt\<SID>.
The dialog instances also must have access to the SAP Global Host, that means, the Additional Application Server installed on Windows must be able to access the Linux ASCS.
Therefore, you must ensure the above path is accessible from the windows host using Samba or a comparable tool.
Best Regards,
Alessandro Parolin
Thank you for the clarification! Apparently that's not the answer I wanted to hear 
When I really have to go with Samba, then my whole LVM setup doesn't work. How could this be "adaptive" in any way? If I want my Central Services on Linux to be flexible, then I have to configure Samba on any potential host...
Or does only the installation procedure need the access to the SAPGLOBALHOST directories and afterwards there have to be no access to them?
Thanks, Matt
Hi Matt,
I'm afraid that won't be possible, as that is the default SAP directory structure.
Please, check the picture below, which I got from page 87/156 from this installation guide (for NW 7.0x ABAP on Windows + MaxDB). I used this guide as I don't know what is the NW release you have, nor your environment. To get accurate information, please refer to the correct guide for your release. Nevertheless, the main idea is always similar:
Furthermore, the guide also says:
"Other application servers access the global data using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path \\<SAPGLOBALHOST>\sapmnt. The SAP programs access their instance-specific data with the UNC path \\<SAPLOCALHOST>\saploc. If the UNC path points to a local directory, the local path (and not the UNC path) is used to access the directory."
The above means the application servers must be able to access the path
\\<SAPGLOBALHOST>\sapmnt after the system is installed as well. Therefore, it must be available from the Windows host.
I hope that clarifies your doubt.
Best Regards,
Alessandro
hi Nahuel,
Please put the P * * * in saprouttab, run following command and share the output.
saprouter.exe -r -K "p:CN=SR-SAP2.hagraf, OU=0001192977, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"
saprouttab should be without any extension.
Regards,
So be it, I'll have to live with that design...
Thank you for detailed answer!
Matt
Matthias,
you should probably directly contact me to discuss this question.

Peter
Hello Ramakanth,
Great you resolved it.
Thanks for telling us the fix.
regards,
John
This annoying popup can be disabled.
1. Go to Customize Local Layout, by clicking on the button which is on the extreme right of the toolbar.
2. Click on Options.
3. Go to SAP Internal, click on the sub menu SAP Internal.
4. Uncheck the "Enable dialog box for screen size check".
This will solve the issue.
Cheers
Kiran
Thanks Richa,
It resolved my server issue
Hi Abdul
Here is the output
Many thanks for your help and patience.

Hi James,
If it is just a warning in the prerequisite checker, you can ignore it as mentioned in SAP Note #1486772 - SAP Systems on Windows Server 2008 R2:
------------------
When you install or copy your SAP system on Windows Server 2008
R2, and the SAPinst Prerequisite Checker shows a warning that
your operating system version is not supported, ignore this
warning.
------------------
If it is an error, then in which phase is this happening? It might be due to old kernel version or old installer version. Are you using SWPM to perform the installation?
Best Regards,
Daniele
Hi,
Fisrt check you have environment variables SECUDIR and SNC_LIB pointing to the right path of user <SID>adm
Ex: c\usr\saprouter
Then take a backup of your soaprouttab file and download files saprouter.sar and sapcrypto.sar from market place.
Generate the certificate Request with the command:
sapgenpse get_pse -v -r certreq -p local.pse
“ <Distinguished Name>”
sapgenpse get_pse -v -r certreq -p local.pse
"CN=autdev,OU=0001053079,OU=SAProuter,O=SAP,C=DE"
Be carefull not leaving spaces in Distinguished name which leads on errors later
You will be asked twice for a PIN here. Please choose
a PIN and document it, you have to enter it identically both times. Then you
will have to enter the same PIN every time you want to use this PSE.
Display the output file "certreq" and In response you will receive the certificate signed With this in turn you can install the certificate sapgenpse import_own_cert -c srcert -p local.pse C:\saprouter>sapgenpse import_own_cert -c srcert -p Please enter PIN: C:\saprouter>sapgenpse seclogin -p local.pse running Please enter PIN: Added "CN=autdev, 8. This will create a file called "cred_v2"
with copy&paste (including the BEGIN and END statement) insert the
certificate request into the text area of the same form on the SAP Service
Marketplace from which you copied the Distinguished Name.
by the CA in the Service Marketplace. Copy&paste the text to a new local
file named "srcert", which must be created in the same directory as
the sapgenpse executable.
in your saprouter by calling:
local.pse
CA-Response successfully imported into PSE
"C:\saprouter\local.pse"
Now you will have to create the credentials for the
SAProuter with the same program (if you omit -O <user_for_saprouter>, the
credentials are created for the logged in user account).
sapgenpse seclogin -p local.pse -O <user_for
_saprouter>Note: The account of the service user should always be
entered in full <domainname>\<username>
seclogin with USER="adminmqa"
SSO-credentials for PSE "C:\saprouter\local.pse"
OU=0001053079, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"
in the same directory as "local.pse"
Check if the certificate has been imported
successfully with the following command:
sapgenpse get_my_name -v -n Issuer
Check if the environment of the user running SAProuter
contains the environment variable SNC_LIB and SECUDIR
Start the SAProuter with the following command line (to start the
SAProuter as a Windows service, please follow the steps described in SAP note
525751):
saprouter -r -S <port> -K "p:<Distingushed Name>"
-K tells the saprouter to start
with loading the SNC library
HOpe this helps
Example
saprouter
-r -K "p:CN=example, OU=0000123456, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"
