Hi

We are currently experiencing a kernel crash in our BW Production instance.

From the error messages it appears that we are having the issue descibed in PTS 1238764

Crash in SAPDBMem_RawAllocator due to 'allocator pointer in
 chunk header overwritten'. 
Triggering action seemed to be (parallel?) index creation on table with 'Clustered' attribute set. 

We have just upgraded to 7.8.2.26.

I am contemplating turning off clustering on the cubes as our database has crashed twice in the last 24 hours.  This will have some impact on performance but it is better than the DB crashing.

Does anyone have any other suggestions (parameters ...etc ) ??

Thanks

Doug

Hi,

I am trying to use scroll insensitive resultset in following manner-

Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("some sql here");
rs.last();

but the rs.last() throws this exception-

com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.SQLExceptionSapDB: The operation is not allowed for result set type FORWARD_ONLY.     at com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.ResultSetSapDB.assertNotForwardOnly(ResultSetSapDB.java:2725)     at com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.ResultSetSapDB.last(ResultSetSapDB.java:557)

Database version: Kernel    7.5.0    Build 019-121-082-363

Driver Version: MaxDB JDBC Driver, MySQL MaxDB, 7.6.0    Build 030-000-005-567

This used to work with 7.5 version driver. Why this is failing with 7.6 driver, any clues?

Thanks,

Vinod

Good day;

We are trying implementing the latest SAP LiveCache release.

Unfortunately, we canu2019t do this since the password of users control, superdba, and other maxdb database default users are not known. This is becoming a real problem by time since no one can login to this database using the database manager application, hence, no one can administer this database properly.

The LCA, LDA, LEA connection between SAP SCM instance DSC and liveCache instance DSL, however, are already set up correctly and connection is healthy between DSC and DSL but the password used for this connections is unknown.

Is there any way SAP could help us on recovering the lost passwords of the users control and superdba without the need to trash the liveCach database and recreate it again as this is not acceptable by the

business users.

Thanks,

Ahmad,,,

The RADDBDIF job stops with shortdump PERFORM_NOT_FOUND when it tries to call the non-existing form EXECUTE of RSXPLADA.

The cause is an (incorrect ?) entry in table DBDIFF for PLAN_TABLE_EXTERNAL which has RSXPLADA in column SOURCE instead of SDB3FADA like other objects with DBSYS = ADABAS D.

I changed it to SDB3FADA and the update continued without further problems.

Software versions:

NetWeaver 7.31 SPS 14 before upgrade

NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 9 after upgrade

MaxDB 7.9.08.27

Hi

We are on SLES 11.3, MaxDB 7.9 and NetWeaver 7.4 with latest patches. We have a set-up a 2 system transport landscape with a shared usr/sap/trans.

As the UIDs of the respective sidadms differ problems arise during file creation/access.

Now I want to change the UIDs of the sidadms.

The speciality is that I need to swap the UID of sidadm with the user sdb (it appears that, on the first host, sdb was created before sidadm, whilst on the other host sidadm has the lower UID).

The Linux-side procedure is not the problem at all, I guess: I change the UID of sdb to a temporary one, chown all files belonging to sdb to the temporary UID, do the same for sidadm, and do it a third time for the temporary UID of sdb. This is pretty well documented for SAP on Oracle on http://www.dataxstream.com/2009/08/changeuidsidadm/

Afterwards I have two problems:

1. The S-Bits are lost

There are some files and directories in /sapdb as well as /sapmnt/ directory which have SGIDs und SUIDs set. However I can look at the second host to see which files are affected and manually change the permissions.

2. MaxDB does not start

If I run startsap it complains about missing or invalid XUSER entries. User sidadm or sdb is not able to read or change the xuser list. The file system permissions on the .XUSER.65 file in are the same when compared to the second host. So I guess there is some mechanism in place that also checks for UIDs when accessing xuser entries.

Does anybody know how to "repair" the existing xuser file or grant access to a new uid/username combination?

Do I have to delete & re-create the file from scratch?

Any ideas appreciated.

Regards

Michael

hi All,

I have installed SAP SCM 5.0 with MaxDB 7.6and liveCache 7.6.

I created RFC user and RFC destination to administer liveCache globally as per SAP notes 305634 and 452745. I changed the initial passwords and tested Remote login for RFC User.

But when I try to start liveCache with startrfc following the link below

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/95/379f3cad1e3251e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

I got the following error

RFC Call/Exception: SYSTEM_FAILURE

Group       Error group 104

Key         RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE

Message     Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)

Then I logged into the CI with RFC user and try to start the liveCache with RSLVCSTART T-Code SE38..I got the following error.

Error DBMCLI_COMMAND_EXECUTE_ERROR when starting liveCache LCS on server saplcslc

Message no. LVC007

I tried by changing the password for RFC user to numeric [0-9] and special characters [$,:] which worked fine.

Does anyone faced this issue earlier? I searched notes, sdn and finally google ... but no luck to resolve the issue.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Venkat

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,

This is my first question in here, so excuse me if i seem to be in outside of usual formats

Okay, my scenario is this::

     I have to call the function UPD_DBCON_ENTRY_SDB from a VBA applcation to update the passwords of CONTROL user of a MAXDB database in R3 connection data (DB11 transaction). The passwords are already changed from DB level. The R3 connection data needs to be updated accordingly with the new passwords. I wrote a piece of code calling the said entry and everything went fine when tested on a kernel release 720 system.

But when i tried testing on another system (i wouldt have gone for a second testing unless by the presure from my peers above ), which is on kernel release 701, it doesnt work. A little troubleshooting showed me that this function module is not Remote-Enabled, but is a Normal Function.

Now what i would like to know is that how do i get the change history for this module, so that i can say that my VBA application will work on a particular version since it has got a remote enabled UPD_DBCON_ENTRY_SDB module.

And thanks in advance for all the help.

Lalu George

Hi,

Dear experts,

I am struggling with the installation of NetWeaver 2004 on MaxDB on Linux.

When executing sapinst for the second time to install and create the DB, I am

getting the following error:

Hi,

We are having repeated issues with "-9400 AK Cachedirectory full". Our DB version is 7.7.06.09 on x86_64. The Logs look like this

This seems to happen at least once a week and I don't know how to fix it. Restarting the instance has always "fixed" it. If we didn't restart different things happened in the past like the instance becoming unresponsive.

The logs are here

[KnlMsgArchive.txt|http://www.invoca.ch/pub/KnlMsgArchive.txt]

Please note that we still don't know how to trigger the situation, it just happens.

What can we do to get rid of this? Any help is much appreciated.

BTW: We get a lot of files (which may be created by DUMPING SESSION CATCACHE) with names like AK00001.dmp + AK00001.stm + AK00002.dmp + AK00002.stm in the wrk dir. I don't know what to do with them.

Hello guys,

First to mention my system:

OS: Windows 2003 server

DB: MaxDB  7_7_06_17

I have one problem to connect through Database Manager to one DB instance that  just now I have installed.

What I want to do is to install one MDM server.

The bellow are the steps that were already performed:

-installed Java server with sapinst (this created its database ZJD)

-after this Java server was finished installed I started to create one DB MDM instance using SDBSETUP.exe

-I was able to create this MDM instance successful

And the problem is here: This MDM database instance that was created with defaults users DBA and DBM. When the creation of this MDM was finished I tried to connect with both Database Manager and DBMCLI to MDM instance using these users but I am not able to connect. I get the   "-2 ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed" error. Can you tell me which is the reason?

I am sure that I typed the right user and password. I tried to uninstall all and installed again inclusive OS and the same error. I mention that to instance ZJD I am able to connect.

I tried with default users for Maxdb (DBA with pass: SECRET and DBA and DBM with pass: SECRET and DBM) but this doesn't work.

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Best regards,

Florin Radulea

Hi Everyone,

I would like to try out the SAP Netweaver Application Server ABAP/JAVA with Standalone Enqueue server.  I am able to install the SAP MaxDB Central System, but i don't see any packages for "Standalone Enqueue server" in the SAPinst Administrator.   Do i have to download addional packages? Or is there no free trial version of the Standalone Enqueue Server?

Many thanks,

Hello all!

Today SAP released the new patch for SAP MAXDB: 7.9.08.26.

But when I added it to Download Basket and then download it I get following error:

"You are not authorized to download selected object"

Why SAP release public something and it is impossible to download?

When customers can download the latest patch for SAP MaxDB and why older versions are not also downloadable?

Best Regards,

Hi All,

We have need to reset the SAP* password because SAP* (also DDIC) is locked on client 000 and we don't have any other user. We are on MAXDB (we have also SQL Studio) so we have the error "table unknown" when we  try to excute the statement SELECT * FROM USR02 or SELECT * FROM SAPECP.USR02, where SAPECP is the owner. Obviously we want to excute the statement DELETE FROM USR02 WHERE BNAME='SAP*' AND MANDT='000'.

How can we proceed on MAXDB?
