This error is usually cause by a access denied on the RUNDIRECTORY. Please check this directory you get if you execute this command: dbmcli -d WAS -u control,control param_directget RUNDIRECTORY It may also be recomanded to install an actual patch of the 7.3 e.g. 7.3.0 B40 as there were some changes with the SAP DB versions since B15 especially for Linux. Only WAS 6.30 is currently released for SAP DB 7.4. I'm a little bit surprised that this "testdrive" is installed with rpm and with these crazy directories!!! It seems to have nothing in common with standard R/3 WAS installations. Usually WAS is installed with SAPINST !!
