Connect. test with "dbmcli db_state" --> Unsuccessful

[Former Member]

hello All,

After a system copy, when I try to schedule de backups in DB13 i got the following error:

DBM_GETF database instance not found

If I test the connection with DB in the DB59 transaction the following is displayed:

Connect. test with "dbmcli db_state" Unsuccessful

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks,

Hernando

Hello Hernando,

#####

Error! Connection failed to node cobogsap01 for database cobogsap01:

database instance not found

#####

I'd say, this is a configuration error. Regarding this message you told the system (in DB59) to connect to the instance "cobogsap01" on host "cobogsap01". I can't see in your post what's the real name of your instance, but it should consist of 3 characters only and is normally the same as your SAP SID. You can find the database instance name running the following command as <sid>adm:

dbmcli db_enum

You'll see multiple entries for each database instance, the first column is showing the instance name. Please reconfigure DB59 with the correct instance name and try again.

Thanks.

Best regards,

hi Dirk,

Thanks for your help. I check the command and reconfigure in DB59 the connection to MaxDB: Now I got this message:

Application Server: COBOGSAP01_PTC_00 ( Windows NT )

1. Connect. test with "dbmcli db_state" Successful

2. Connect. test with command mode "dbmrfc db_state" Successful

3. Connect. test with session mode "dbmrfc db_state" Successful

4. Connect. test with "native SQL" ( PTC ) No connection

For detailed information, see the developer trace for work process: 2

However, I could schedule the Databse Backups.

Hello Hernando,

1. As SAP customer you could create the SAP message and get SAP support.

2. Please run the test connection in /ndb59, then display the log and post it in the thread to get more details on the error.

3. What is the version of the database?

What errors you see in the system log after you run connection test in /ndb59?

Hi,

>> DBM_GETF database instance not found

Is it a livecache (LCA) database? Or database instance of the SAP system?

If it is a livecache, it should be named as LCA.
