Hi out there,

I Installed unixODBC and the maxDB Driver on a Client machine and try to get Data from my server.

I followed this Howto: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/MaxDB/HowTo+-+MaxDB+ODBC+and+unixODBC

I get a connection and It looks like I get the Information about Tables and Colums and even the count of rows but no Data Content.

Example using isql:

SQL> select * from ZF_TYP
+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+------------+------+
| ZFTMTD| NAME                                                            | WANN                      | WER        | STATE|

|       |                                                                 |                           |            |      |
+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+------------+------+
SQLRowCount returns 2

my .odbc.ini content:

cat ~/.odbc.ini

ServerNode=db01.team.etb
SQLMode=ORACLE
IsolationLevel=Committed
TraceFileName=/home/jph/odbctrace.log

anyone any Idea ??

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.

We dit a Systemcopy from a 32 bit system to a 64 bit. The SID changed. My question now is. How can I check the SID Name in the new System?

Right now we got stuck at the step Starting instance. The Problem now is that the dist+work.exe is not getting a connection to the database.

PLEASE HELP

We're encountering severe problems with our MaxDB instances and want to define thresholds in order to convince our hoster to move data volumes from NFS to SAN devices. In peak times, WriteTime goes up to 2000 ms which is not acceptable for us. Which values for ReadTime / WriteTime are healthy?

Hello,

i have installed a new ERP 6.06 SAP System on MaxDB 7.9/Sles 11 Linux. After successful installation i have tested the database connection.

The database connection failed. What could i do to solve the problem?

Hello,

For a MaxDB system, the cache_size parameter was changed depending upon the hardware. Later, the hardware was moved to a small box due to a db crash and then we have observed that the parameter got changed to a new value.

As far as the time stamp show, it got changed during the DB restart.

Please let me know if the MaxDB system automatically changes the parameter.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Ankit

Hello,

Since two weeks I'm not able to start a NW7.3 System. After several checks I figured out that the database (MaxDB 7.8 on Windows) does not start. There were no changes in Hardware or OS, Kernel was not updated/upgraded. The System was running since installation in May 2012.

dbmcli db_enum does work:

But my problem is, that when I run dbmcli -u superdba,***** -d NWD db_online, there is no further reaction. Unfortunatelly the MaxDB logfiles (knlmessage etc.) were not updated, so I have no hint what I should check as nect.

Here you can find the whole discussion in Netweaver group: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3333896

So my question would be: is there any other MaxDB tool or log file, which can help me to solve this issue - or get at least a hint on the reason why the database can't start any more? Or maybe is an update to 7.9 a possible solution?

Thanks in advance

Václav

Hi experts!

I need to remove log volumes. I have 7.7 version MaxDB. Is there any improvement in this version in comparasion to the previous process (backup and restore in a different configured db) of removing log volumes?

Thanks in advance...

Hi

One of our databases has started to log the following error:

ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART: Could not start DBM server.

ERR_SHMNOTAVAILABLE: Shared memory not available

ERR_SHMPLATFORMMISMATCH: Shared Memory from different platform Unknown (0x00) (expected WIN32, AMD64)

The database is still running (and has been for a couple of weeks prior to the start of the error)  but we can't connect with the DBMGui and DBMcli.  All SQL connections are OK (SQLCli and SAP).

Two questions:

1) How is the best way to restart the system???  I thought, stop maxdb and all other maxdb services.  Remove the shm and shi files (posted in another thread) and then restart.

2) What may have caused this error??

Regards

Doug

The maxDB database is not starting,

When I type

dbmcli -n mgiusdgrc1 -d CME -u superdba,<passwd> db_online, I get the following error.

Error! Connection failed to node <hostname> for database CME:

-24700, ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART: Could not start DBM Server.

-24832, ERR_SHMNOTAVAILABLE: Shared memory not available.

-24827, ERR_SHMALLOCFAILED: ID E:\sapdb\data\wrk\CME.dbm.shi, requested size 260010,

Opening shared memory file E:\sapdb\data\wrk\CME.dbm.shi failed, rc = 5.

I tried to rename the file CME.dbm.shi, but it did not work.

Currently we have 8 GB of physical memory RAM allocated on Wndows 2008 Server and paging size specified is 16 GB.

1- Can anyone help in resolving the above shared memory error?

2- Are there any logfiles and specific error messages that I need to check, to resolve the MaxDB startup issue error.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have 2 new MaxDB installations on Linux, Rel. 7.8.02.28. If I connect as control user and run any info command (i.e. info state), the system throws "Unknown user name/password combination".

Systems with Rel. 7.8.02.27 don't show this behaviour. Is this a bug? Can anyone please check with the same version? Any hints to solve this?
