Error while opening the backup information fom Maxdb

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am getting the below error while opening the backup information from Maxdb.

Backup history file /sapdb/data/wrk/<sid>/dbm.knl corrected in line <xxxx> ; 2012-02-21 07:30:25 can not be convert in to a signed 32 bit integer value

The full line is as below from the dbm.knl file:

4F4337C5014C|LOG_000030571|SAVE WARM|2012-02-21 07:16:03|2012-02-21 07:20:49|2012-02-21 07:20:53|2012-02-21 07:21:04|2605155691|2605244F433A01014E|LOG_000030573|SAVE WARM|2012-02-21 07:26:09|2012-02-21 07:30:24|2012-02-21 07:30:25|2012-02-21 07:30:41|2605326357|2605411689| |<SID>_LOG | 85344| 0| 0| |

I am able to open and check this line in the file dbm.knl ; But, i am not getting why this error is occurring while opening the backup information from Maxdb. I am able to view the backup logs through LC10.

Currently i am getting this error and when i am click on cancel (or ok) getting the blank page. I am not able to view the backup logs form Maxdb.

Please give me some hint to resolve this.

Regards,

Nagendra.

More information needed about your configuration

In absence of these let me try a guess:

Your MaxDB is running on a 64 bit machine.

You are trying to monitor backups with a 32 bit tool.

The number 2605326357 in your log file is greater than 2^31, and so is not a 32 bit integer.

Hi,

Use below procedure

1. Go to /sapdb/SRD/data/wrk

2. cp -rp dbm_knl dbm_knl_OLD

3. vi +<Line in which the corruption occured> dbm.knl

• see there must be a corruption in the given line and it will specified with a green color
• delete that part and make the format as per the above line

4. save the file

5. execute the procedure again from Database studio or Database Manager

(Note: Make sure that you have taken the backup first of dbm.knl file Because any extra entry may cause another corruption)

(FYI : This file is only log file of successful backups and returns the return-code)
