Hi,

I am new to MAXDB and installed SAP system on Windows XP on local machine.

I have installed SAP Netweaver and while connecting to MAXDB via MAXDB Database Manager facing issue.

I am getting error as -2 ERR_USRFAIL:User authorization failed. Please check attached screenshot for more details.

I tried to connect via credentials provided in this thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/95219  but failed to do so.

I used following ports for connection:

           7200

           7210

           7269

           7270

           7575

Can anyone provide port, default username and password.?

Feedback appreciated.

Hello,

i have a problem.

We want to use the backup_start  for filersnapshot.

When i open one session

dbmcli  -d TST -u dbadmin,dbadmin -uUTL

dbmcli  -> backup_start backupmedium

dbmcli  -> backup_finish  backupmedium externalbackupid 0

it's ok.

When i use

dbmcli  -d TST -u dbadmin,dbadmin -uUTL -c backup_start backupmedium

dbmcli  -d TST -u dbadmin,dbadmin -uUTL -c backup_finish  backupmedium externalbackupid 0

-24984,ERR_MENOVALID: Invalid medium definition

i become an errormessage.

how can i make a script  ?

dbmcli  -d TST -u dbadmin,dbadmin -uUTL -c backup_start backupmedium

wait 120

dbmcli  -d TST -u dbadmin,dbadmin -uUTL -c backup_finish  backupmedium externalbackupid 0

i have also tested with shell-script

cmd=`cat <<EOF | dbmcli -d $DB_NAME  -U c_J2EE -uUTL  2>&1

......

but in dbmcli there no sleep or wait.

When i leave the session i become the error "Invalid medium definition".

Thanks.

Hello,

Due to an upgrade from ERP 6.0 to ERP 6.0 EHP5, I had to add new data volumes to my MAXDB database.

I created 6 data volumes of 9.5GB and 2 data volumes of 38GB.

i am not too worried about the 9.5 GB data volumes since they are close to 50% free.

However the 38GB data volumes are filled to only around 13%. This consumes a lot a space on my server.

Is there anyway to reorganize the database? I need to free-up some space on the server.

I am new to MaxDB.

Thanks,

HI Guys ,

I am trying to reset SAP* password in my MAXDB DB 7.6.  I know that is a very simple operation and I did it many times in other DBs , but here I  have stuck  during whole day .

I have connected to SQL Studio as SUPERDBA .

My SAP Schema  is "SAPIDS" .

To access usr02 table I run the following SQL :

select MANDT, BNAME, UFLAG from SAPIDS.USR02 where MANDT='000' and BNAME='SAP*'

, but I got the error thet the table does not exist .

I also tried:

select MANDT, BNAME, UFLAG from "SAPIDS"."USR02" where MANDT='000' and BNAME='SAP* ,

select * from SAPIDS.USR02 ; select * from "SAPIDS"."USR02" ;

I switch to Oracle mode also , but Nothing is working !

Also important to say that sql :

select * from tables where owner='SAPIDS'and tablename='USR02'

shows the USR02 table as well .

Any ideas ?

thanks in advance,

Evgeny

Hello,

target_release=7.9.08.08 on  SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64).

I took -supposingly appropriate-downloadobject 51046733_8 (SAP MaxDB 7.9 Backwards - SP8 Build 08 MAXDB_LINUX_X86_64) from SAP Marketplace, transfered it as root  to the server, unzipped and issued:

I am working on this for several days and tried a lot. Nothing works by now.

Does anybody know whats wrong ?

Hi,

We are taking daily backup and purging the old backup of content server with the below script by scheduling the task .

@echo off

mv F:\backup\<DB>_COM F:\backup\<DB>_COM.old

dbmcli -d <DB>-u control,control -c -i db_backup.txt -t db_backuplog.log

@echo off

As we have also turned on automatic log backup, we need a script to purge logs older than 15 days to avoid running out of disk space issues.

Please suggest script for the same.

OS :  Windows 2008 R2

Thanks,

Harsh

Hi all, I am trying for to perform a SAP DB upgrade from 7.3.0.28 to version 7.5.0.21. My problem is that when I execute command SDBUPD the following messages appear on screen almost immediately and the update is terminated:

beginning to check sap db instances

start new instance update

cannot establish database instance session

I followed the instructions in the upgrade guide and notes mentioned but this issue is nowhere mentioned. I am not a database specialist so any help and/or suggestions are more then welcome.

Thanks in advance, Tiest

Hello All.

After restoring the DB while i m trying to bring the SAP Instance up, i m getting "DB-Connect Failed, Return Code 000256" in Syslog.

Can anyone tell me how this can be solved.

The DB is MaxDB 7.6.05.15 & SAP ECC 6.0.

Thanks.

Regards,

Mudassir.Imtiaz

P.S I tried to add the Developer Trace with this message but somehow i couldn't.

I guess its exceeding more than 15000 characters.

Hi @all,

I'm searching for the latest community packages of MaxDB ? The last version was 7.8.02.37, maybe it's already 7.8.02.38.

When typing in the version in the query box, no result will be found.

Since the migration to SAP the problems exists.

Is there another way to retrieve the latest version ? And how can I make sure to get the latest version when I have to search to download something ?

Thanks and best regards,

Stefan

Hi guru,

Recently we are facing some backup issues with backup tool COMMVAULT backing up database MAXDB. This problem is really strange as it happens intermittent. Below is the log that i found and suspect it could be due to security issue. Has any one face such problem before? Really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hi,

I have installed SAP Netweaver developer Studio 6.40 which installed MAXDB database also. Due to some reason I had to unistall the trial version of Developer studio, in this process developer studio got unistalled but not MAXDB.

I use Add/Remove programs and uninstall MaxDB. I get the messages like this.....

Start uninstallation now (y/n) : Y (resoponse)

then message displays

found instance of J2E, cannot remove package..first remove all instances...

I have stopped all the services, even then Iam getting such error message. How do I uninstall?

Help needed.

Today our Database crashed and is now in a similar state like described here http://scn.sap.com/thread/1669772. It seems to keep crashing on log recovery during db_online. It for sure has at least one bad index, but since we are unable to bring it online, we seem to have no chance to fix this. I would be thankfull for any hints.

Here are some facts:

• The first crash (somewhat shortened) looked something like:

• We even tried to recover our last backup (with AUTO_RECREATE_BAD_INDEXES set to YES) but as soon as we try to for instance drop the index we assume to be bad it immediately crashes and is unstartable again like above.

Is there any way to restore without indexes or to have all indexes recreated? Any hints how to still bring the original DB back online?

Hello,

I would like to upgrade MaxDB starting_release=7.8.2 Build  038-121-249-252 /

target_release=7.9.08.08 on  SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64).

I took -supposingly appropriate-downloadobject 51046733_8 (SAP MaxDB 7.9 Backwards - SP8 Build 08 MAXDB_LINUX_X86_64) from SAP Marketplace, transfered it as root  to the server, unzipped and issued:

./SDBUPD -d SOS -u control,control.

Output says ok (see hereafter) but no connect to the database is possible.

I am working on this for several days and tried a lot. Nothing works by now.

Does anybody know whats wrong ?

Hello,

I try to execute a simple program with maxdb connected with odbc.

1) DECLARE cursor1 for CURSOR SELECT ...

2) OPEN cursor1

3) FETCH cursor1 INTO ...

4) CLOSE cursor1

5) DECLARE cursor1 for CURSOR SELECT ...

It hangs with " -9206 AK DUPLICATE catalog information",

How can we use the same cursor name ?

Do we have to deallocate, or change an option in maxdb,

Thanks a lot for any help

Best regards

Dear Experts,

We are doing Maxdb upgrade 7.3 to 7.5 on HP PARISC 64  getting error   -24894,ERR_KNLDIRTY backup history failed.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Can you share your experience on system copy procedure of production database of sapdb 7.3 into Quality of content server with sapdb v.7.4software. in Aix -OS environemnt and used  file system storage method.

Hello!

We are getting low hit rate alerts for data cache mostly over the night.

During the normal operatin the data cache ratio is ok (98-99 %).

As consequence we get an alert regarding low data cache ration within weekly EarlyWatch Alert.

Are there a procedure to optimize the data cache ration over the night in order to improve the overall data cache ratio?

Our maxDB version is 7.8.02.034.

Thank you!

Hello,

I've been reading the following notes:

Note 487972 - Tuning Livecache to the Linux OS

Note 767635 - MaxDB Version 7.5 parameter settings for OLTP/BW

Note 337445 - liveCache and memory management

Note 487972 - Operating system parameterization of liveCache

Note 941735 - SAP memory management for 64-bit Linux systems

There does not seem to be any Redhat specific tuning settings (though a couple of Suse recommendations), except for a general mention of all Linux systems with this direct I/O suggestion:

"As of Linux Version 2.6, we recommend that you set the parameter to the value YES rather than DEFAULT NO.

Further notes on this topic:

Note 977515:. Linux System paged during MaxDB data backup/add volume"

The parameters I am wanting to tune are in /etc/sysctl.conf, so since there does not seem to be any Livecache specific parameters, I was going to just take the general recommendations from Note 941735 - SAP memory management for 64-bit Linux systems and set our parameters as follows:

- kernel.shmall

As a configuration recommendation, kernel. shmall can be configured as the amount of virtual memory in the Linux system (RAM + Swap).

- kernel.shmmax

           This kernel parameter specifies how large an individual SysV Shared Memory Segment is allowed to be. In the case of an STD implementation, the parameter must be set sufficiently large in order to allow em/initial_size_MB. The value is specified in the unit Bytes so that "21474836480", for example, permits segments of 20 GB.

I am thinking to tune kernel.shmall to 90% of RAM+swap, and kernel.shmmax to 90% of RAM. Also will be setting the following parameters as well:

kernel.msgmni=1024

kernel.sem=1250 256000 100 1024

1. Parameter kernel.sem corresponds to "semmsl semmns semopm semmni"

vm.max_map_count=1000000

Does anyone out there have any different experiences or tips on how they set these up, specific to Livecache? The SAP application tuning is pretty straightforward, but wanted to make sure we didn't overlook anything with Livecache.

Thanks,

Derek
