Upgrade to MaxDB 7.8 fails due to -4008,Unknown user name/password

Hello,

I have a strange problem. I try to update a MaxDB 7.7 instance to 7.8.

I start ./DBUPDATE.SH:


INFORMATION : This program upgrades the SAP MaxDB database instance
[...]
Do you want to continue the upgrade [Y] :  Y

Check installation of C++ runtime
...execution 12:08:59
OK

IndepProgPath : /sapdb/programs
IndepDataPath : /sapdb/data

Please enter SAP MaxDB Name    [SID] :  J93
Please enter SAP System Name   [SID] :  J93
Please enter DBM User Name [control] :  control
Please enter DBM User Password       :

INSTROOT        : /sapdb/J93/db
Authorization successful
DB KERNEL       : 64-BIT
DB VERSION      : 7.7.04 Build 28
Database instance version supported
PrivateDataPath : NO

Check availability of SAP users
...execution 12:09:05
SAP System Administrator   : j93adm
SAP Database Administrator : sqdj93
OK

SAP VERSION     : -4008,Unknown user name/password combination

Please confirm the upgrade start [Y] : 

Obviously the DBM user and password have been accepted.

Also I created the xuser entry according to SAP note 39439:


xuser -U DEFAULT -u SAPJ93DB,password -d J93 -S SAPR3 -n minbbn30 -t 0 -I 0 set
xuser list
-----------------------------------------------------------------
XUSER Entry  1

Key           :DEFAULT
Username      :SAPJ93DB
UsernameUCS2  :S.A.P.J.9.3.D.B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Password      :?????????
PasswordUCS2  :?????????
Long Password :?????????
Dbname        :J93
Nodename      :minbbn30
Sqlmode       :SAPR3
Cachelimit    :-1
Timeout       :0
Isolation     :0
Charset       :<unspecified>
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I can successfully connect to the database with SAPJ93DB:


dbmcli -u control,password -d J93 sql_connect SAPJ93DB,password
OK

So why can't I simply upgrade this MaxDB instance? Is there any logfile of DBUPDATE.SH with more information available?

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

this error can be ignored (see note 1353266, section IV "Errors during the upgrade").

Continue the upgrade by answering the question

SAP VERSION     : -4008,Unknown user name/password combination
Please confirm the upgrade start [Y] : 

with Y.

Regards,

Steffen
