> T9 -d WT9 -u superdba,zapkmd00

I'd execute the update without the script:

cd C:\RDBMS_MaxDB_7.8.01_Build_14\DATA_UNITS\MAXDB_WINDOWS_X86_64
sdbupd.exe -u control,<controlpassword> -d <DBSID>

There seems to be a problem in the perl module.

Just download the newest build of 7.8 and try with that one (using sdbupd.exe).

That the CD/DVD, you can download the build itself:

http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain

--> MaxDB and SAP DB

--> MAXDB 64-BIT (in the middle part)

--> MAXDB 7.8 64-BIT

--> Windows Server on x64 64bit

> MAXDB7801_20-10007818.SAR

Then use "SAPCAR -xvf MAXDB7801_20-10007818.SAR" to unpack, step into the directory and call sdbupd.exe again.

The script on the DVD just a wrapper that does exactly call sdbupd so no need to get a DVD.
