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

Marco

HI All

I need to set automatic backup in MaxDB, i have seen automatic option for logs but not for Full database, Can anyone explain how we can do this.

I want Full backup on daily basis along with logs.

Welcome for suggestion and directions.

Hi Guys,

MaxDB provides the possibility to logically unite several database objects (e.g. Tables, Views, Indexes, ...) in so called "Schemas".

However, I couldn't find any documentation about how to connect to a certain schema via JDBC. How should the JDBC URL look like? Assuming I have this kind of URL jdbc:sapdb://localhost:7200/MAXDB. Is there a way to connect to the schema "DEMO"?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Gerardo

I folks,

I use a 32 bits IDE witch connect to MaxDB using ODBC, so i need the 32 bit driver to create a 32 bits ODBC datasource.

Everything was OK, until ia receive a brand new computer, running... Windows 7 64 bits.

When i try to install MaxDb client (7.6.06.22), i have this message:

Cannot create package tree: unresolved dependency: package "Database connectivity" not found.

I've also tried version 7.8.02.21, and i get another message:

Software isn't runnable on your system.

What must i do ?

TIA

Frédéric.

Hi there Experts,

While installing the trial version of ABAP Trial 7.02 on Windows 7 64bit I get the following @ phase 19 of 24 (Import MaxDB Statistics)

( Last error reported by the step :Error during execution of command identifier 'EXEC_SQL_CMD' : com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.JDBCDriverException: SAP DBTech JDBC: Cannot connect to jdbc:sapdb://MYl-PC/NSP [Restart required]

Any help or advice is highly appreciated.

Hi there,

when I try to run the command "c:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli.exe" -R "c:\sapdb\sdb\db" inst_reg -k \"c:\sapdb\sdb\db\" I receive the error message "-24875,ERR_NEEDADMI: The operating system user is not a member of the database administrators group."

Looking through SCN I found SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/889251 which addresses this issue perfectly. But the solution does not help in my case. I also checked for a user group on another and newer MaxDB server: There is a group called "SDB Operators" but checking the SAP website it says that this group is only used by MaxDB >= 7.7.

My Operating System is WIndows 2008 R2 64 Bit, I am logged in as local Administrator.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance :-)

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 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...

I am facing an issue with one of our MAXDB database backups

As topic, which are the minimum requirements under Server Rights for a DBM Operator that will be used for doing backups and recovery?

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,

Suhan Hegde

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

Hi there Experts,

Hi.

Does anyone know how to get "Dynamic Data Area Adjustment" working?

I set the configuration to the following paramaters:

"Data Area Extension": 90%

"Data Area Shrinkage": 75%

"Reserved empty volumes": 2

I am using MAXDB 7.9.08.33 with

total size: 583.679.536 KB (100%)
uses area: 313.794.104 KB (53,76%)

free area: 269.885.432 KB (46,24%)

and a maximum of 39 DataVolumes. At the moment there are 29 data volumes in use.

I would like to shrink the database size to a maximum of 380 GB, so that can get 200 GB free on my storage volume.

But the configured configuration doesn't show any effect.

Thank you for your replies in advance.

Best regards
