Hello Experts,

My maxdB database studio  is not launching .Got screwed up when I try multiple java versions in that pc and it overwrite some settings I think..Now I would like to re-install Ma dB ..

• Should I uninstall Max dB before reinstalling it or can install on top of it
• If uninstall to be done,just uninstall from Add/Remove pgms or manually have to delete some files?
• should database backup is compulsory at that time..if yes how to take a dB backup in command prompt
• Unable to take  backup from another database studio in the same network ,it seems the network connection getting reset and dB backup gets stopped(dont want to use this option)

Thanks

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.

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

Hello

After migrating a sapdb instance (7.3 system) to maxdb 7.6 I have problems with the superdba and the control user.s The password that I think they should be the right do not work.

Now I'm looking for the possibility to reset the password of superdba and/or control user.

Please do not send me the notes

25591 - Changing the DBM, SYSDBA and DBA user passwords

and

39439 - XUSER entries for SAP DB and MaxDB

as done in many other SDN threads. This doesn't work for me because you can change the password only if you know the actual password (standarlogins superdba/admin and control/control do not work btw).

Does anyone know how to reset those passwords?

Thanks and regards

Hello Folks,

We have SAP system running on Max DB database. We have windows patching maintenance for that we have to stop SAP and Max DB database.

I am new to Max DB so can someone tell me the correct steps for stopping the database (including the service stopping sequence) and starting it again after the maintenance gets over.

We have two Max DB services running MAXDB: SID and XServer.

I checked on some document that states that taking max DB instance offline from Database manager is not a good idea.

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,

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,

Hello experts,

We are doing our SCM upgrade from 4.1 to 7.0 with migration.

Hi there,

I am having an issue where the database was put online and patched without knowing there was a log full situation. What happened is it ran through the installation then switched the database offline and then online again to continue the patching process but couldn't go further. Now I have the problem in that there is a maxdb runtime environment problem and I can't backup the log because of this runtime error.

I have opened a SAP support call but 1st level are not really helpful in these situations and it is taking long to get some help so trying here.

Some information:

I tried putting the database online but I just see a whole lot of RTEMemory_Chunk files being created in rte_dump directory.

Bit of a mess! At this stage I would be happy just to get the maxdb runtime environment repaired even if I have to do a restore of the database. How do I proceed to fix the failed patch update ?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

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...

Hello All,

i am on Redhat Unix Os with NW 7.1 CE and SAPDB as Back end. I am trying to login but my log file is full. Ii want to empty log file but i havn't done any data backup yet. Can anybody guide me how toproceed to handle this problem.

I do have some idea what to do like the steps below

1.  take databackup (but i want to skip this step if possible) since this is a QA system and we are not a production company.

2. Take log backup using same methos as data backup but with Log type (am i right or there is somethign else)

3. It will automatically overwrite log after log backups.

or should i use this as an alternative, i found this in note Note 869267 - FAQ: SAP MaxDB LOG area

Can the log area be overwritten cyclically without having to make a log backup?

Yes, the log area can be automatically overwritten without log backups. Use the DBM command

util_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE ON

to set this status. The behavior of the database corresponds to the DEMO log mode in older versions. With version 7.4.03 and above, this behavior can be set online.

Log backups are not possible after switching on automatic overwrite. Backup history is broken down and flagged by the abbreviation HISTLOST in the backup history (dbm.knl file). The backup history is restarted when you switch off automatic overwrite without log backups using the command

util_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE OFF

and by creating a complete data backup in the ADMIN or ONLINE status.

Automatic overwrite of the log area without log backups is NOT suitable for production operation. Since no backup history exists for the following changes in the database, you cannot track transactions in the case of recovery.

any reply will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

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?
