LiveCache startup error "Error in DBMSERVER or DBMCLI"

[former_member186587]

Hi All,

I am trying to start LiveCache but its erroring out. At OS level I can see LiveCache DB is running.

# ps -ef |grep sdb

     sdb 14680130 19136706   0 16:38:24      -  0:00 /sapdb/LCD/db/pgm/kernel LCD -diagpipe 13

    root 16384208  9240590   0 16:49:58  pts/0  0:00 grep sdb

     sdb 17301672        1   0 16:39:12  pts/3  0:00 /sapdb/LCD/db/pgm/dbmsrv -P 0000000500000008000000090000000c

     sdb 19136706        1   0 16:38:24      -  0:00 /sapdb/LCD/db/pgm/kernel LCD -diagpipe 13

/sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli>db_enum

OK

LCD     /sapdb/LCD/db                           7.7.07.40       fast    running

LCD     /sapdb/LCD/db                           7.7.07.40       quick   offline

LCD     /sapdb/LCD/db                           7.7.07.40       slow    offline

LCD     /sapdb/LCD/db                           7.7.07.40       test    offline

When I try to check status in LC10, I get below error:

********

Name and Server     : LCD - sapbun

Function            : DBM_CONNECT

Error               : DBM Error

Return Code         :         -4

Error Message       : cannot connect to server socket

********

Things done so far:

- restarted LiveCache & SCM system

- Started SCM system, and then tried to start LiveCache using program "RSLVCSTART" in se38 and I get above error.

Please let me know why it is not able to connect to LiveCache DB though its up & running at OS level.

SCM: AIX/DB2

LiveCache: AIX/SAPDB(MAXDB)

Thanks in advance.

Hello Bhavin,

for this reported issue I recommend to create the SAP message and get SAP support.

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Hi Natalia,

I went through all other suggestion by You and Lars Breddemann.

Everything was running fine on unix level for LiveCache DB and SCM System. After running Function Module "DBM_EXECUTE_SDB" in debug mode, I figured out that we need to use "phisycal host name" instead of virtual name "sapbun". After updating LiveCache Integration in LC10, SCM was able to communicate to LiveCache.

Initial Problem not mentioed: We had LiveCache installed on clustered filesystem of our SCM system which is not supported by SAP. So we had to seperate LiveCache filesystem from existing SCM cluster. And in doing so we need to update our integration details in LC10 from virtual to physical hostname.

Thanks..

Bhavin
