Re: Solution Manager (no MaxDB) - How to monitor MaxDB - Which Software?

Hello Christian,

I am not an expert with the Solution Manager, but if you want to monitor a MaxDB database, you will need to have a MaxDB client package installed on the server where the Solution Manager is running and the SAP kernel must be able to connect to MaxDB via the correct SAP kernel dbsl library.

dbsl library
The dbsl libraries are part of the SAP kernel package since they are 'SAP kernel'-dependend. There is one dbsl library for each supported SAP database. I believe the SAP kernel package already includes libraries for all supported databases, so you should already have a MaxDB library on your Solution Manager system, but I may be wrong here (if so, please check on SAP note 19466 'Download of SAP Kernel Patches' in case you do not have the MaxDB dbsl library, but keep in mind, the dbsl library must match to the SAP kernel).

MaxDB runtime package
Yes, just install the latest available MaxDB 'client runtime' package for MaxDB 7.9

Kind regards,
Thorsten
