System copy (backup/restore), MaxDB 7.8 and sapinst

[Former Member]

Despite having followed

Note 1469675 - MaxDB 7.8: Installation/System Copy based on SAP Kernel 7.0*

and having copied the respective sapdb.inf to the installation directory I still get

INFO       2011-07-01 18:56:16.405 [iaxxclib.cpp:114]
           CChangeCWD::~CChangeCWD() 
Working directory changed to /install.

File sapdb.inf does exist. Will use the commands in file sapdb.inf.
There is no classfactory for action:GET_DB_STATE

Will there be finally an installation master DVD for EHP1 that can be used to do system copies without fiddling with XML files?

Hi Natalia,

thank you for answering. I don't have time to wait till monday for an answer and since this is not a production system affected I can't use very high priority.

I went through this notes, there were no "dos" line endings in the file, it could be read nicely.

Eventually it worked after I removed sapdb.inf from the installation directory. So apparently with 7.8.02.23 this is no more necessary - respectively other errors occur that need keydb.xml to be changed.
