I need to upgrade SAPDB 7.3.35 to the latest as part of a content server system copy + upgrade.

I found a thread listing these steps....my question is regarding util_execute migrate, does it modify the existing DB or does it modify the Backup only ? I do not want to make any changes to the existing DB,

open dbmgui (1st edition)

>> create a new backup medium target

>> take instance offline

>> take instance to admin

>> menu: Instance->command line

>>exec "util_execute migrate"

>> exec "util_connect"

>> exec "backup_start <newly created medium name>"

>> exec "util_release"

>> exec "db_offline"

thanks.

Hello All,

We are using HP server & Unix as operating system.

We use HP protect to take backup, with BR tools ECC6 is taken as backup.

Please clarify the below questions.

1. Can I use Oracle as data base for SAP Content server instead of SAP MaxDB.

2.If only SAP MaxDB should be used, will the HP protect will take care of Backup.

i.e any role BR tools will place in this backup.

3. Any backup strategy such that HP protect can be configured to take SAP MAX DB backup also.

4. Customer is currently using HP protect which takes Oracle backup, any way to extend it to Max DB.

Thanks,

Hi SCN folks,

Where do I configure the TCP-Ports 'serv.exe' uses internally?

This is the output of 'netstat -ano' (german version).

1st call (filtered to PID 1236 = serv.exe):

Everytime I start 'serv.exe' another range of ports is used.

I need a deterministic behavior where some ports are never used by MAXDB.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Hi,

I (succesfully, as far as I can tell) installed MaxDB on a Windows 7 Professional x64 Vmware virtual PC (maxdb-all-win-64bit-x86_64-7_8_02_28) and now want to also install MaxDB database studio (maxdb-studio-win-64bit-x86_64-7_9_08_01). While the installation seems to finish successfully, I'm running into errors after starting (as administrator). First error is

'Loading preference values failed; default values will be used

Reason:

Missing object type: :Loader'

then

'Could not read preferences

Reason:

Missing object type: :SQLSTUDIO'

The Event log viewer shows warnings about the utilities path not specified and again Errors about 'Missing object type:: preferences'

While Eclipse then starts up, it is not possible to work with the locally installed DB (which seems to be detectect, however). Again there are errors about

'Missing object type::preferences' as well as

'Could not load mounted Local Folders'

'Can not get registration preferences'

'Get login attributes failed'

'User management exception: Missing object tye::UM_CONNECTION_KEY_REPLACE_WITH_DATABASE_NAME'

Searching the web using these errors does result in too much help, , unfortunately, for UM_CONNECTION_KEY_REPLACE_WITH_DATABASE_NAME I do net get a single hit with google.

First I thought my Java SDK 1.7, is too recent, so I uninstalled DB studio and Java and tried again with Oracle jdk-6u37-windows-x64, but I'm getting the same errors. I also noted that, as it seems, the DB Studio remembered the password from the previous installation. It did not ask for a new one during the new installation but asked for the old one after I started it (I consider this a bug).

Any ideas anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe I should also note that at first I had a broken MaxDB installation (it failed to load the system tables), which I uninstalled, however and reinstalled (then succesfully).

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Thomas

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,

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

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

Hello out there!

I'm installing a SAP mini on my virtual Win Server 2008 R2. Installation process has been sucessful but now I'm not sure how I can move on. I've installed the MaxDB database manager and now I want to connect to the NSP database.

The instruction says:
Click on Add <- I did

Click on Add on the pop-up window <- I did

Normally now the local server and the NSP database instance should be display. But in my case there is no NSP instance display.
For that reason also no entry for the NSP database is added to the main window.

What can I do to connect to the database? What have I done wrong?

Hello,

We have a strange problem:

We successfully installed the EHP4 upgrade for ERP 6.0 with the EHPinstaller on our central instance. We set up an distributed system, the database is on Linux with MaxDB.

After that I tried to logon with the SAPGUI on the SAP server, but I receive directly the message "SAP System Message: a table is unknown or does not exist." So a logon on the system IS NOT possible.

In the MMC Syslogs I see that there are 2 errors with starting the SAP server:

- SAP Basis System: Run-time error "DBIF_RSQL_TABLE_UNKNOWN                (ERROR)

- Database: Table D010ENH    does not exist in the database with ID R/3             (WARNING)             

These two errors are occuring several times in the syslogs. The server nodes in die SAPMMC are running all on green.

What can I do there? Any ideas? Haven't found any notes on this problem.

Regards,

Vermeer

We are building a copy of Production APO and Live Cache systems for special project.  Prod environment consists of two servers, and so does the copied environment.  APO and its Oracle DB start OK.  LC, on separate server, also seems to start OK - we can connect via command line (dbmcli, and SAPDB Gui).  However, APO cannot reach LC - source of failure seems to be SAPDB_DBM.

When I test the RFC SAPDB_DBM it fails with:

"ERROR     timeout during allocate
