Change from domain to local installation with SWPM System Rename Option

[bernd_speckmann]

Hi there,

I'm trying to change a system (AS Java 7.3) from a domain installation to a local installation.

For this I'm trying to use the system rename option of the SWPM.

So the only change is to set it to local installation. All other options remain unchanged.

While executing the rename SAPInst asks me for the DBM Operator user credentials. The user credentials I've provided are correct, but I cannot continue.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead.

Hi Bernd,

May I know the error message what it is appearing? Are you able to fetch the logs?

And also what is OS?

Hi Gopi,

OS is Windows 2008R2 x64.

I think this is the relevant section of the log:

Does it help you? Do you need addtitional log files?

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for the information.

Please find the information in the below image.

o

Please add the SID user and to that specified group and execute the same with SIDADM.

Regards,

Gopi

[bernd_speckmann · Accepted solution]

Hello,

SIDADM and SAPServiceSID are members of the local group "SDB Operators".

I've executed the same as SIDADM, but got the same problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanks ahead

HI Bernd,

Please try to execute the below command

dbmcli  -d SID -u superdba,admin

And start the activity again after this successful execution.

Hi,

I cannot execute the command above. The database is not registered. SAPInst tries to register the database with the following command and this fails:

C:\Users\sidadm>dbmcli.exe -R d:\sapdb\SID\db db_reg DB SID *,*

ERR

-24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed

Any hint?

Thank you

Hi Bernd,

we need to give the user name and password at the end of command.

dbmcli -R d:\sapdb\SID\db db_reg DB SID <dbm_user>,<password>

Regards,

Gopi

[bernd_speckmann · Accepted solution]

Hi Gopi,

thank you. But it still doesn't work:

C:\Users\sidadm>dbmcli.exe -R d:\sapdb\SID\db db_reg DB SID control,password

ERR

-24950,ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed

Any other hints?

Hi Bernd,

It is wondering me. Is the Maxdb installed properly? Any issues at the time of installation?

Also try this

Add the 'Administrators' group under:

Administrative Tools --> Local Security Policy --> Local Policies --> User Rights Assignment --> Take the ownership of files or other objects

Gopi

Hi Gopi,

I was wondering too. But I think I've found the reason for this curious problem.

Somewhere I've read to try a password with only 9 characters. I tried and it worked at the command line to register the database properly.

Now I'm searching for a solution how to get it working with SAPInst...

I already tried to set the correct password according to note 25591.

Error in step class com.sap.sdt.ins.component.sdb_rename_database_instance.AdaptDatabaseParameters <DBMException -24950 ERR_USRFAIL User authorization failed>

Thank you,

Bernd

Hi Gopi,

got it working. It was a problem with the password, which was shortened to 9 characters!?!

Thanks for your help
