Hello Damian,

As you wrote, that you got the error:

-118 'SERVERDB MUST BE ACTIVATED'

when you tried to switch database to online mode using dbm command 'db_warm'.

For the analysis of this error it will be helpful to review the files:

- knldiag, knldiag.err

- dbm.prt

( Did you see any errors? )

Please also provide additional information:

-> Could you start the database in cold mode?

-> What outputs you will get when you will run the following commands

on the database server:

dbmcli -s inst_enum

dbmcli -s db_enum

dbmcli -s dbm_version

Dbmcli -d <DB-SID> -u <dbm-user>,<pwd>

Dbmcli on <DB-SID>>user_getall

?

Dbmcli on <DB-SID>>user_get <dbm-user>

?

Dbmcli on <DB-SID>>dbm_configget SAPDB12

?

Dbmcli on <DB-SID>>exit

You are running upgrade 7.3.0 build 38 to 7.5.0 ( what build ? ), as

you know the prerequisites when using Version 7.3.00 & are going

to import the MaxDB Version 7.5.00 are:

"

• You are using Build 25 at least.

• A complete data backup in operation status ADMIN was carried out

as a last action before the upgrade OR

a complete data backup that is at least one week old exists AND

an incremental data backup was made as a last action before the

upgrade and a log backup was also created in the ADMIN operation

status.

• The database instance was not updated to the ONLINE operation

status after the backup.

Additional information when using Version 7.3.00:

The DUAL log mode is no longer supported as of Version 7.4.

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina
