How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.

Procedure for System Administrators

Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose
"<(><<)>J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the
error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log
Viewer under "Cluster <(><<)>computer name>" -> "Server <(><<)>server
number>" -> "<(><<)>drive>:\usr\sap\<(><<)>SID>\JC<(><<)>IN
STANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<(><<)>NUMBER>\log". In Unix, the file is
located under "/usr/sap/<(><<)>SID>/JC<(><<)>INSTANCE>/j2ee/clu
ster/server<(><<)>NUMBER>/log".
If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can
increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "
<(><<)>J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On
the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" ->
"webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the
screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the
log level with the most information. You can save your settings by
choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active
immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should
set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate
pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the
overall performance of the system.
