SAPDBA error

[Former Member]

Has anyone ever seen a windows error when you try to launch sapdba from a cmd window on Oracle and get a call for 'orasql9i.dll'? The windows error asks you to re-install the application. This is a 6.20 SAPDBA trying to access a 10g Oracle database/ERP 2004 ECC 5.0 system on W2K3 server. Sorry I'm old school I still like to use sapdba. I appreciate any help.

Hi,

unfortunately you can't use SAPDBA with this release. In your case try to use BRCONNECT !

You'll find almost of SAPDBA's functionalities in this tool...

Regards.

Sebastien -

Thanks for the response, I'll research this some more. I currently only use it for stats.

Thx,

specially maintaining database statistics on tables and indexes is one of the strengths of BR*Tools and a weekness of sapdba.

sapdba is out of support.

There are further no versions after kernel version 620.

For support of Oracle10 you need at least DBAtools of kernel version 700.

Sorry, but you have to use BRTools. Perhabs BRGui will help you to find an easier way to BRTools.

Peter -

Just for verification and my understanding, the 620 sapdba tool is compatible with the 640 but not the 70? This is my first 70 kernel, old habits die hard. Thanks for your assistance.

the 700 kernel is released on Oracle10.

sapdba, br*tools up to 640 are bind very closely to a specific Oracle version per link reference to Oracle Client DLLs which include the version in their name.

with 700 this changed - we can now use the Oracle10 instant client. But this compatibility is vice versa you would need.

It would be possible to use the 700 BR*Tools in 920 based 640 tools.

700 does not longer contain sapdba. Maybe you should have a look at brgui for a better user interface to br*tools
