MaxDB Multicon short dumps. Its relation to Profile parameter DIR_LIBRARY

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am upto connecting an SAP Max DB database as a secondary database to my Oracle based 4.6b system running on Windows 2k Server.

Max db version is 7.6

In tcode DBCO I have configured parameters with ADA as DBMS, suitable username password(password in uppercase), and connection info are all set up correctly. However, I keep getting DBIF_DSQL2_CONNECTERR short dump.

SM21 log has an entry "<b>No Shared library found for database with ID MAXDB</b>"

I can see <b>dbadaslib.dll </b> in the directory c:\usr\sap\C11\SYS\exe\run. My system name is C11.

In tcode RZ11, I can see the following profile parameter values for DIR_LIBRARY.

Short description(Engl) : missing

Appl. area : General system

ParameterTyp : Directory must exist

Changes allowed : Change permitted

Valid for oper. system : All operating systems

DynamicallySwitchable :

Same on all servers :

Dflt value : C:\usr\sap\C11\SYS\exe\run

ProfileVal : C:\usr\sap\C11\SYS\exe\run

Current value : C:\usr\sap\C11\SYS\exe\run

Can someone point me to resolving my problem of establishing a secondary connection.

thanks heaps in advance for any pointers.

Cheers,

Hi,

I suggest you install the MaxDB client environment on the server which should access the MaxDB instance. Just download the MaxDB installation file from service market place and choose the appropriate install option.

thanks André, for the suggestion. I did miss this step of installing the MaxDB Client software on my SAP app server host.

I have that installed now. As there is no database instance installed, I cannot do anything more on the dbmcli or sqlcli such as login etc.Or is there anything else to be done other than just install.

However, the same error still continues.

cheers
