Database Studio on Citrix: Recreation default user management failed

0 Kudos

We have installed Database Studio on a Citrix Server (MS Windows Server 2003 SP2). My user is a member of the group SDB Operators. When i start the Database Studio i get the error message "Recreation default user management failed". Did anybody experience the same and has a solution for that problem?

Hello Michael

would you mind providing me at first the log file of Database Studio? You can find this file here: "c:\Documents and Settings\<YourId>\sdb\DatabaseStudio\.metadata\.plugins\com.sap.sdb.tools.core\dbstudio.log".

This version of Database Studio is actually not directly prepared to be used on a Citrix server or another server with different users. The settings of Database Studio, especialy the connect parameters to the internal used repository, will be stored currently in a workspace located in the user home directory. With different users you will recreate the internal used repository every time you start Database Studio with a different user.

If you want to use Database Studio on a Citrix server anyway you have to use a centralized repository. To use this centralized repository every user can set its user management preferences via Window->Preferences->Database Studio->User Management or you have to create on your Citrix server a shortcut for every user with the connect parameters as call arguments (currently also a hidden feature):

-UMDBNode <Node Name> -UMDBName <DB Name> -UMDBUserName <DBA User> -UMDBUserPassword <DBA User PWD> -UMDBIdentity <Your Id>

Hello Markus,

we need this tool on Citrix because our MaxDB's are not available from our PC's. The possibility to use a proxy within Database Studio would help.

Here some logfile entries:

Database Studio

Version : 1.0

Eclipse Version : 3.2.0

Hello Michael

The log files and the DBMSRV errors respectively describe a shared memory access error. It looks like the current user does not have write access permissions to the shared memory file.

Anyway, we also use Database Studio in a Citrix server environment to restrict the access to some of our MaxDBs. Can you give me some more information about your Citrix environment? Should every user have the same MaxDB landscape view or should every user have its own view? Is it only one server or is it a farm of servers. Depending on that we can discuss further. Would you mind, if I contact you directly?

Best regards

Markus

Hello Markus,

we have a Citrix server farm with two servers. I would like to know how both alternatives work (all users the same landscape or every user its own).

Youre welcome to contact me directly.

Hello Markus,

we are also trying to use DB Studio on a Citrix environment. We have the same problem as Michael. Can you please continue the discussion about this topic in this thread?

My question is: What do you mean with the centralized repository? Will it be created at the start of DB Studio (and where)? Or is it necessary to create a new maxdb on the Citrix server for "central user management"?

In our environment we currently have 7 MaxDB on different servers and manage (several users) them from one Citric server with the database manager.

Hello

I am going to summarize in a blog the possibilities of Database Studio on a Citrix server and the possibilities how many database adminstrators can work on the same landscape of databases.

I will inform you next week about the details.

Keep in touch

Hello Markus,

Hello

The Database Studio mode, which uses a central user and landscape management, is neither documented nor officially released with the current shipment. This decision has been made in the interest of a secure use of Database Studio by our customers, since this mode has not been tested sufficiently so far. Due to this fact, it is not described in SDN either.

For the above mentioned reason, the current version of Database Studio cannot be used on Citrix yet. We will let you know as soon as a Database Studio version is released that supports this mode.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Jens

the next version of Database Studio 7.7.04 wich will be available soon, will not contain the requested feature. Due to the fact that all 7.7 versions are in maintenance state no new features can be integrated into these versions. The version wich will include this feature will be version 7.8. The version 7.8 will be available Q1/2009.

I had a similar problem on Linux. I configured dbstudio for one user and it was working fine. Then I wanted another user to use dbstudio too and IIRC I got the same error than you. What I did was to copy all the dbstudio related config files and dirs to the new user, own them by the new user, and dbstudio worked fine. I know it's a hack but works until we get a new version.

Hi Markus,

This inquire is for the part of the error, not for the citrix discussion:

When I try to login or (more important) to drop a maxdb database I've created during installation (DEMODB) I'm having the error:

C:\>dbmcli -u dbadmin,secret -d DEMODB

Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database DMODB:

-24700,ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART: Could not start DBM server.

-24832,ERR_SHMNOTAVAILABLE: Shared memory not available

-24744,ERR_SHMPLATFORMMISMATCH: Shared Memory from different platform Unknown (0x00) (expected WIN32, I386)

What can I do?, The database is already stopped and I can no longer login to it, neither from dbmgui!

I've seen you specified a problem with shared memory, but I couldn't find it, do I need to change any parameter? Where & which?.

No solution was found on forums, googling, nor in sap notes.

Many thanks in advance and hope you are able to hep me!

Best regards.

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

sounds like a problem with the dbmserver shared memory - shortly described here: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/YzI

Delete these two files in /sapdb/data/wrk and try again.

However, the error sounds like you copied MaxDB files from a different server - you shouldn't do this...

Best regards,

Hello Markus,

your last entry was nearly one year ago. In the meantime we have more and more 7.7 versions but we still do not have a running database studio version on our citrix landscape. We tried to install version 7.8.00.08 on citrix but it didn't work.

What is the current status of Database Studio on Citrix???

Is there a possibility to connect to databases behind a firewall to connect through a vpn tunnel or something like that? In the preferences I saw the possibility to enter a proxy but I didn't get this to work.

Regards

Hi Daniel

with the tool xinstinfo you can figure out what your <indep_data> path is. And if you look into the path <indep_data>/wrk you should find the SHM and SHI files of your demo db. Try to delete these files and then try to remove your demo db again.

Best regards

Markus

Hello Michael,

unfortunately the status regarding DBStudio on Citrix is still the same. We do not have a version of Database Studio which supports this.

Regarding the VPN tunnel: could you be a bit more specific how your landscape looks like and what you are trying to achieve? When you entered the proxy information - did you get an error message?

Is this something you managed with DBMGUI before?

Best regards, Melanie

Hello Melanie,

we now set up a new test proxy but we didn't get a connection to our databases. Are there any other ports than 7210 used for the connection. A telnet connection to the database server over the proxy is working.

We don't use a proxy for DBMGUI cause we can use DBMGUI on citrix. BTW: Any news concerning Database Studio on Citrix? Is it really so complicated to enable DB Studio to work on citrix?

Kind regards

Hello Melanie,

the first entry in this forum thread was in february 2008. Until now there are no news about a DB studio version for a Citrix environment. Will there ever be a version for Citrix? Or do we need to replace Citrix in order to maintain our MaxDB in the future?

We plan to upgrade to MaxDB V 7.8 when it's approved for SAP. Can we use the DB Manager 7.6 for administrating a 7.8 database (with/without limitations in functionality)?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Jens,

I'm sorry but Database Studio is still not released for Citrix servers and I cannot promise anything for future versions.

DBMGUI was not intended to support database version 7.8, but you can just try it. I would expect it to work in most areas.

Best regards, Melanie

Hello Melanie,

no good news for us.

If there are no official supported tools for administrating MaxDB 7.8 in our environment we can't upgrade to this version. The consequence is that we need to replace MaxDB in the future in order to save a stable system operation.

It's a pity!

Best regards.

Hello Melanie,

please, we have similar issues with user store and Database studio running in Citrix.

Has status changed in between?  Is DB Studio now supported on Citrix?
