Help with R3trans

[former_member759680]

Hello,

I am unable to find the difference between "R3trans -d" and "R3trans -x"

I checked the trans.log for both and they seem to be same.

Can somebody help me understand the difference?

Thanks.

Hi,

R3trans -d checks database connectivity as suggested above and R3trans -x checks environments variable to connect to DB.

Thanks

Hello Sunny,

Thanks for the reply.

So, "R3trans -x" doesn't actually test connection to the database. It just checks the env. variables?

Dear Gautam Poddar,

R3trans -x checks the connection to the database but R3trans -d should always be used as it actually logs into the database.

If you ever encounter an issue where the SAP system cannot connect to the DB, I would always recommend to run R3trans -d and then check the contents of the trans.log that gets generated.

Hi,

R3trans -d : DB connect. Test if SAP database is available.

R3trans -x : DB connect without access on any SAP table.
