LCA is not an instance with type liveCache

[Former Member]

Dear collogues!

According to "SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR1Standalone Engine SAP liveCache Technology: UNIX" after installation of MaxDB aka LiveCache (from LifeCache CD)

It should be done several post installation steps which also involve executing report

"SLCA_NON_LC_RELEVANT_CLIENT" (in this report we must select productive client and choose "LiveCache relevant" radio button???) Ok. At last, step #14: initializing the liveCache instance LCA, which include Enter LCA in the Name of database connection field and Choose liveCache: Monitoring. When I push this button (LiveCache: Monitoring) system outputs "LCA is not an instance with type liveCache" What has been missed?

Please help!

Hello Ivan

You can check the instance type of a MaxDB with

dbmcli -d <name of db> -u <user name of db admin>,<password of db admin> param_directget InstanceType

(in a command shell)

If this is OLTP, then something went wrong during installation of the liveCache. Unfortunately I don't know details of the installation procedure, you used.

Hi Thomas, thanks for reply

yes It seems to be of OLTP type.And this type suppose to be wrong for a Livecache? As far as I remember there were not choise of instance type during MaxDB installation...

MaxDB version - 7.6.02.08 under AIX & SCM 5.0

Yes, it's wrong. It can be either OLTP or liveCache.

The instance type is one of the first parameters, which are determined in the installation. However, there are several possibilities for installation procedures (e.g. a batch script, or via DBMGui, etc.) and I have no knowledge of the one, you mentioned.

Hello Ivan,

if you install a liveCache using the official SCM CDs the instance type is automatically set to LVC. As this is not the case on your system, we need system access to analyze this issue further. Please open a customer message and store the logon data in the secure area of the message. Please include also the CD numbers you used for the installation.

Thanks,

Hi Melanie, thank you for reply

of course system access is impossible due to many reasons, main is security.

Initially we have installed LiveCache using DVD with D51032259 label.

And at present we have installed LiveCache from MarketPlace->Patches-> SCM -> LifeCache (LCAPPS component) -> the latest version of LC

Hello Ivan,

normally SAP support does have access to customer systems as in many cases problem analysis would not be possible without a connection.

However, we still need a customer message to analyze this issue. If you cannot provide system access, please attach the logfiles of the installation to the message.

Best regards,

Dear friends, that issue was solved.

Solution was in initializing of the MaxDB instance from OLTP type to LCA.

It was done from Database Management GUI.
