Maxdb has corrupt datafile

0 Kudos

Hi Everyone,

I have my content server running Maxdb 7.3 and it ran out of space when the autoextend was tring to add a datafile. The database is not able to start now due to the corrupt datafile. Can you offer any assistance?

Is it possible to upgrade to a later version of MaxDb with the database in its current state? I see the later versions have recovery commands but they do not work in this version of the DB.

HI there,

if you're a SAP customer, please do open a support message for this.

Anyhow, just a few comments:

1) in 7.3 there is no such thing as autoextend. Additional Devspaces must be added manually.

2) Of course SAP DB 7.3 offers recovery commands and if fact most recovery options you find in 7.6 were already present in 7.3

3) Even if you've got a totally messed up database now, it should be possible to take a log backup now (to save all yet unsaved log entries) and to perform a complete restore/recovery of the database to a new instance.

If your backup setup is OK you should be able to have your database up and running again that way.

regards,

Lars
