Hi Venkat,
Download JRE 6.0 or higher and install it. DB Studio installation should go ahead.

Hi
I'm trying to install content server along with MaxDb, but the last step of the install process fails with Error

Hello,
The problem seems to be caused by the Content Server master DVD and the RDBMS (MaxDB) DVD you are using.
The Content server was not officially released with MaxDB 7.8 on windows 2008 R2.
Uninstall the current MaxDB version 7.8 using SDBUNINST tool (/sapdb/programs/bin)
with sdbuninst -all (if this is the first installation in this server).
To avoid this problem, install the Content Server on Windows Server 2008/R2 with MaxDB 7.6 as delivered on the compilation DVD. Then update the MAXDB and ODBC to a supported version accordingly.
If you are SAP Customer, review the SAP Notes below:
Refer to note 735598 for the upgrade to MAXDB patch.
Refer to note 1399009 for Content Server 6.40 on Windows Server 2008 and Win2008 R2
You can have a look at the below 2 notes too for the additional information for these releases:
793550 for the upgrade to version 7.6
1004973 for the upgrade to version 7.7
1353266 for the upgrade to version 7.8

Hello Srikanth,
It is not recommended to overwrite existing backup without archiving or moving it to a safe location.
However, In order to overwrite the existing backup - you need to specify this option while you create the medium deifinition using medium_put command
<overwrite> | Mandatory only for the backup type FILE and only for Possible values are: YES | NO If you enter YES and the file If you enter NO and the file The system default is NO. This entry is not interpreted for log backups. |
For more information use DBM command explain:
dbmcli on SIT> explain medium_put
or see MaxDB documentation (Version 7.6) or MaxDB documentation (Version 7.7) or
MaxDB documentation (Version 7.8)

Yashwanth
Hi Rajendra,
Regarding default port used by Max db, for your specific confiuration, you can check which port is being used by this process -
Go to Run -> drivers, Go to etc folder and check for services file.
As per Max DB documentation, different ports used for Max DB are -
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/bbddac91407006e10000000a155369/content.htm
For username/password thing, here is the answer for that -

Hello,
please check the document at:
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_8/44/bbddac91407006e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
you will find Ports and Protocols of the SAP MaxDB X Servers list & more details.
MAXDB_error.JPG checked, according the error you are using the wrond dbm user or wrong password of the dbm user.
Check on the database server first using dbmcli tool:
< the default SAP dbm user is control. Test with master password you used during installation>
dbmcli -d <DB-name> -u control,<password> show version
dbmcli -d <DB-name> -u control,<password> db_offline
dbmcli -d <DB-name> -u control,<password> db_online
dbmcli -d <DB-name> -u control,<password> db_enum
-> Check "Tools" documentation at
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_8/44/bbddac91407006e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
I recommend to install DB studio.
-> Review "Managing Users" at
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_8/44/bbddac91407006e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
you could find there the standard DB user/pasword combinations.
-> Are you SAP customer & used SAP software installation DVDs?
What is the version of your database?
Do you know the master installation passwords?
Is it longer ar 9 characters?
Regards, Natalia Khlopina
I gone through above provided links, but still unable to connect.
I tried with provided ports.
Can anyone assist on this?

Hi Rajendra,
First you need to add the database you intend to connect underneath the server (tmsap in your case). when you add the database you should be able to see it in the tree structure.
To connect to the db you need to define at least a login using a database user.
You can connect to db using: CONTROL, SAP<SID> and SUPERDBA
The password is the same as the master installation password.

Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the info.
Could you please also let us know if you have followed snote 1478170 for installation. SAP system with kernel 7.1 are only released for MaxDB 7.7.
According to the note you need to use SAP MaxDB RDBMS 7.7 and after installation you need to upgrade to 7.8.
