Erick,

Heh, not having the password may be a problem later. You know, if you're just trying to upgrade MaxDB, you don't have to do an uninstall first. You can just run SDBINST, and when it prompts you like this:

existing updatable installation:
0:  c:/program files/sapdb/depend  7.5.00.11
1:  none
please enter updatable installation id: 0

Just enter the ID of your current installation. SDBINST will automatically upgrade for you.

Hope that helps,
JLS

Hi john, the first command gives me:
C:\Program Files\sdb\7500\pgm>dbmcli db_enum
OK
VOICESYS        C:\PROGRAM FILES\SDB\7500       7.5.0.8 fast    offline
VOICESYS        C:\PROGRAM FILES\SDB\7500       7.5.0.8 quick   offline
VOICESYS        C:\PROGRAM FILES\SDB\7500       7.5.0.8 slow    offline

when i do dmcli -d voicesys -u user,pass  db_drop
the command line hangs forever...maybe my password is incorrect/corrupted.
Since i have never used the command line clients, how can i change/check the
pass?

thanks,
erick

Hi Erick,

This is a normal error, meant to protect you from accidentally making your
databases unavailable. You can check this out like this:

# dbmcli db_enum

Then have a look at the database it prints. You can drop those databases
with the command:

# dbmcli -d <instance_name> -u <dbmuser>,<dbmpass> db_drop

Be careful though, this will destroy these databases.

Cheers,

JLS

cannot remove package "Database Kernel": first you have to remove all instances fatal error at Fr, Jun 04, 2004 at 17:29:27


press any key...
***************************
The only reference to VOICESYS in the SERVICES section of my windows 2000 pro is Service name: SAP DBTech-VOICESYS (test) Display Name SAPDB: VOICESYS (omststknl.exe) Path to executable: C:\PROGRAM FILES\SDB\7500\pgm\omststknl.exe


I already did
service -d voicesys -R <admin> -r
service -d voicesys -R <admin> -r -q
service -d voicesys -R <admin> -r -s

So, i cannot uninstall maxdb.
Suggestions?
