problem connecting to the DB

[Former Member]

MaxDB guru! Please help me solve the problem.

I can't connect to DB under the <sid>adm:

sap:idsadm 4> ./dbmcli -n sap -d IDS -u control,***

Error! Connection failed to node sap for database IDS:

database instance not found

But the user ROOT runs without problems:

[root@sap bin]# ./dbmcli -n sap -d IDS -u control,***

./dbmcli on sap : IDS>

I compared the profiles of these users - all the same.

What and where should I specify the database to start up a sidadm?
