SAP WAS 6.40 install

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a big problem. I want to install SAP WAS 6.40 on a system which to fullfil the system requirements. My install process is stopped at MaxDB Database Installation step. In this stage on the bottom of SAPInst window I see the message MaxDB: <b>activating the database(please wait...)</b>. In the View Log I read:

<b>gui.update("MaxDB: activating the database (please wait, it takes a while) ...");

ASSERT(arguments.callee, sapdb_action(context.get("DatabaseName"), installer.getHostName(), "ACTIVATE", context.get("SAPDB_VERSION")), "SDB: ERROR ACTIVATING THE DATABASE! CHECK THE XCMDOUT.LOG FILE!"); gui.update("MaxDB: activating the database ... OK");}SDB: ERROR ACTIVATING THE DATABASE! CHECK THE XCMDOUT.LOG FILE! </b>

So that, I read the XCMDOUT.LOG and I think that I have a problem with MaxDB, but how can I solve this it ? Thanks in advance

could you please us know which version of MaxDB you are using?

mean time you can have a look to Note 565009 - Error -24988 after liveCache is stopped

also try to start the database manually and retry your installation.

Cheers,
