Hello,

my system admin just installed Predict from the sag installer on our new AIX development server.  
When I log on natural, SYSDIC librairy, I have the following screen :

SYSDIC1347 DIC1347 THE PREDICT INPL DID NOT TERMINATED SUCCESSFULLY.  
09:40:23 \*\*\*\*\* P R E D I C T \*\*\*\*\* 2021-03-17  
- Startup Procedure -

THE PREDICT INPL DID NOT TERMINATE SUCCESSFULLY (INSTALLED VERSION IS 00.00.00

The start of Predict is rejected.

The current Predict file (FDIC)  
Database number … 40  
File number … 260

The current Natural file (FNAT)  
Database number … 21  
File number … 21

I tried to reload Predict objects with the utility INPL, but the result is the same.

I also tried to use the SYSPCI utility to initialize the predict adabas files as mentionned in the install documentation, but I have an error 127 from the command SHCMD during the process :

11:15:54se wait until t\*\*\*\*\* NATURAL SYSPCI UTILITY \*\*\*\*\* 2021-03-17  
User BARBIMAX - Product Configuration and Initialization -

```
                          SYSPCI Error Report
                                            take several minutes.
  Error occurred during command execution.

  Return code: 1005
  Error message:
  Error 'Execute INPL': Return code = 127 from SHCMD

  Error occurred during:
  Execute batch Natural

```

11:49:39se wait until t\*\*\*\*\* NATURAL SYSPCI UTILITY \*\*\*\*\* 2021-03-17  
User BARBIMAX - Product Configuration and Initialization -

The following actions have been performed by the SYSPCI utility:  
take several minutes.

- Loaded Adabas file with DBID 40 FNR 262 for product PRD
- Updated global configuration file for DBID 40
- Loaded Adabas file with DBID 40 FNR 263 for product PRD
- Updated Natural parameter file PRDPARM and set FDIC to DBID 40 FNR 262
- Updated Natural parameter file NATPARM and set FDIC to DBID 40 FNR 262
- Updated Natural parameter file NSCPARM and set FDIC to DBID 40 FNR 262
- Natural parameter file NBSPARM not found, update not possible.
- Natural parameter file NOMPARM not found, update not possible.
- Natural parameter file NOPPARM not found, update not possible.
- Natural parameter file NEEPARM not found, update not possible.
- Error during INPL of initialization program: Return code = 127 from SHCMD

Did I miss something ? Is this issue due to an incorrect installation on the unix system or a bad parameter on natural/adabas ?

Thanks for you Help.

Benjamin Mabey.

from Google:

Value **127** is returned by your shell /bin/bash when any given **command** within your bash script or on bash **command** line is not found in any of the paths defined by PATH system environment variable. The solution is to make sure that the **command** you are using can be found within your $PATH.

Please have a look into the log file of the SYSPCI utility: /Natural/INSTALL/syspcilog.txt.  
Maybe you can find the reason in this file.

Hello,

thanks for your answers. I know that return code 127 from unix is when a command is not found, but I can’t find this command even in the syspcilog file.  
I understand that the syspci is used to configure the predict adabas files but is it normal to have predict version 0.0 before launching this utility ? I think there’s already something wrong before this step.
