Hello All,

Thanks for  you reply.

The issue for me was with permission for the directory

/home/sidadm

/home/sqdsid

these two directory were not having write permissions, i have added required permissions to this directory then this error went away

sapinst was not having permissions for  creating xuser  entries in home directory .XUSER.62 as mentioned in below sap note

Note 39439 - XUSER entries for SAP MaxDB

Thanks,

Vardhan.

Hi Sri,

Refer below SAP notes. It looks like database version problem

Note 1237337 - Error messages in appldiag of sdb user

Note 1178438 - Security note: MaxDB

Hope this helps.
