Hi Folks,

I need to upgrade my Maxdb 7.6 to Maxdb 7.7.

I just installed a NW 7.0 SR3 with MAXDB and now this to be upgraded to 7.7 for further upgrade my NW 7.0 system to EHP 1.

But  while running the script DBUPDATE.BAT

(#) $Id: //bas/46D/src/db/ada/dbupdate77.bat#1 $ SAP

The usage parameter db_name is not set.

The system cannot find the batch label specified - wrong_usage

1

The usage parameter dba_user is not set.

The usage parameter dba_pwd is not set.

could some body please help me on this ...

Hi,

after i have executed Dbstudio.exe -vm "java path" the file dbstudio.exe seems corrupted, now it's 0 KB.

who i can repair the software?

when i try to execute the installer it don't have "reinstall" o "repair".

tnx

Hi Pranendu,

As per upgrade manual you need to use following command

DBUPDATE.BAT -d <DB SID> -u control,<password for control user>

Please check whether you are using the same command or not.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Deepak Kori 

Hi Davide,

I would suggest you to download the software once again and start the setup.

Hello Günter,

I have checked this and find out that the symbol ZN20RTEIPC_ObjectManager8InstanceEv is missing in 7.9.08.03 dbmmodule.so.

With 7.9.08.08 and 7.8.02.35 it works, You should install a newer version

The python package is not installed as default for a client with SAPINST. But you can install it separate by download the server or client and calling

SDBINST -package "Redist Python"

Kind regards,

Burkhard

Hi,

the LIMIT clause with offset works only with 'forward only cursor'.

To switch to forward only cursor in Databbase Studio select

Windows->Preferences->Database Studio->Query Results

and enable the "Use forward only result cursor" Checkbox.

Kind regards,

Hi Deepak,

While running that script ...I am getting the following error.

I am getting this error continuously ...pls suggest on this.

Hello Pranendu,

Did you use password longer than 8 characters for dbm user?

Are the xusers updated?

Do you have any problems with the following commands?

sdbregview -l

sdbverify

Regards,

Eduardo Rezende

Hi Pranendu,

Does this command work

dbmcli -d <SID> -u control, control

Secondly share trans.log results from R3trans -d command.

Regards,

Deepak Kori

Hi Pranendu,

Additionally request you to verify XUSER configuration for Default and SAPSerive<SID> user as per SAP note 39439.

Hope this helps.

Hello Adam,

I saved the db enviroment and the db data and I upgraded the db (7.9.07.10) version without problems.

(after them I upgraded from EhP5 on EhP6 and then the db upgrade on 7.9.07.14)

I wish you all the best!

Best regards,

Richard

Hi Peter,

facing the problem, Adint+TSM+MaxDB doesn't allow Automatic Log Backup, I want to use the eventdispatcher for a workaround.

What is the configuration done which stops you from Automatic log backup ?

For database logs refer files dbm.ebf/dbm.mdf

These files contain further information about created backups.

File dbm.ebf is written in case an external backup tool is used for a backup. It then contains the command ID, the backup label, and the external backup id (EBID).

File dbm.mdf contains the command ID, the backup label and current backup medium definition of each backup.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Deepak Kori

Hi Deepak,

I have logged into the system with user <DBSIDADM> here PRAADM...and ran this command :

and got the below error....

C:\Documents and Settings\praadm>dbmcli -d PRA -u control,control

Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database PRA: ERR_USRFAIL: User aut

horization failed

I will check the note now and update you very shortly...

Hi ,

so if the database Analyzer is showing only a few warnings the system configuration is ok. But you are talking abotu a join which does not perform best. Sio first - run update Statistics on the tables involved into the join. Update Statistics table and update statistic column on all indexed columns.

Then please insert the explain plan of the join -> only write the key word explain before the Join Statement. Send the SQL of the join as well. Add the table definition of the tables involved into the join and the index definition of tables.

If you want to learn more about the MaxDb Optimizer please check our Expert Session:

•   Session 16: SAP MaxDB SQL Query Optimization (Part 1)  -> Single Table Optimization
• Session 16: SAP MaxDB SQL Query Optimization (Part 2) -> Join Optimization

There are slides avaialble and recording of the sessions.

You'll find the sessions using the following link: http://maxdb.sap.com/training/

Regards, Christiane

Hi,
the error message you have posted comes from JDBC or Database Studio so I guess you have change the Interface ;-)

I am sorry the cursor modeI in MaxDB PHP is always SCROLL_SENSITIVE. 

We need scrollable cursor for PHP data_seek function. Try it with data_seek and pass the offset.

Regards,

Hi experts,

i'm getting the following error when performing an In-place upgrade from 7.7 to 7.9.

SAP VERSION     : -4001,Unknown user name/password combination in operational state ADMIN

The db is in admin mode, the user and password of the control user are Ok, they where checked in dbmcli and in SAP.

It's a single DB instance, SAP is shut down.

If i skip this error then i get another error

ERR:  Upgrade failed

ERR:    Error checking Upgrade

ERR:      There are files locked by the following processes:

ERR:      | Process Id | Command Line

ERR:      | 243        | /sapdb/<SID>/db/pgm/kernel <SID> -diagpipe 14

ERR:      | 244        | /sapdb/<SID>/db/pgm/kernel <SID> -diagpipe 14

ERR:      Terminate all locking processes and rerun the installer.

I'm pretty sure that the second error is because of the first one.

Could it be that the control user doesn't have permision to work on ADMIN mode?

thanks a lot.

Rafael.

Hi Pranendu,

Looks like issue with XUSER.

Refer the steps in the link http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40842

Also request you to verify the XUSER configuration based on SAP note 39439

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Deepak Kori
