not able to start MAXDB

[Former Member]

Hi,

We had installed SCM7.0, after that we installed MAXDB, when we try to login at DBMCLI we are getting an error "-24948,ERR_NODBNAME: database name required", can somebody help us here and also is there any documentation available with post processing details to install MAXDB after SCM7.0 installation ?

Thanks,

Hello Sukruth,

-> Post additional information:

Did you install ECM liveCache instance on mb5ap1039 server?

What is the version of the liveCache instance?

Could you connect to the liveCache instance using dbmcli tool:

Dbmcli u2013d ECM u2013n mb5ap1039 u2013u control,<pwd>

?

What is the OS of the liveCache server?

What errors did you see in the dbmsrv_<servername>.prt located in <IndepDataPath>/wrk?

< You could run u201Cxinstinfou201D and u201Cxinstinfo ECMu201D to see the < IndepDataPath> on u201Cmb5ap1039u201D>

dbm.prt file located in the database RUNDIRECTORY.

-> You are SAP customer. Did you open the SAP message on this issue?

-> For SAP liveCache documentation please see the SAP note 767598.

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Hi Natalia,

Answers for ur questions as below:

1. Yes ECM live cache is installed on the mentioned server.

2. Livecache server version 7.7.

3. Yes i am able to connect to ECM through DBMCLI.

4. OS of live cache server is Windows2003.

5. Last error found in the dnmsrv*.prt is DBM SERVER client disconnected. (i feel this is not relevent to our current discussion).

The issue seems to be in connection from SAP to live cache. I am facing the error saying "ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART could not start DBM"

And also When i checked RFC connection SAPDB_DBM the connection getting failed after a timeout.

Some more info:

tcode SM49: external command DBMCLI executed:

Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database (no dbname): -24700,ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART: Could not start DBM server. -24701,ERR_EXHNDLR: Could not initialize exception handler. -24748,ERR_FILEOPEN: Error opening file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\sdb\data\wrk\dbmsrv_MB5AP1039.err -24826,ERR_NIERROR: Can not open file 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\sdb\data\wrk\dbmsrv_MB5AP1039.err'. External program terminated with exit code 2

Can you please help me out in this regard if you have any idea.

Thanks,

Sukruth

Hello Sukruth,

1. Please update with output of the commands on MB5AP1039:

xinstinfo

xinstinfo ECM

Could you login to the server as <SCM_SID>adm user and run:

dbmcli u2013s dbm_version

2. Please check, that the user for the windows service which contains the

application server, the "SAPService<SCM-SID>" user, have sufficient

access rights to the files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\sdb\data\wrk

(because the error is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\sdb\data\wrk\dbmsrv_MB5AP1039.err. Can not open file; >

Did you reboot the server after installation?

3. You are SAP customer. Did you open the SAP message on this issue?

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina
