Thanks much.  Those instructions helped us resurrect the system.

Cheers,

It seems as if the software can no longer access the MaxDB registry. You can try to rebuild it by hand:

- locate the independent program path
 These can probably be found by looking at /etc/init.d/sapdb.
 If you have an absolute path to dbmcli, then the path
 before bin/dbmcli is the independent program path. Enter that
 path into the file /etc/opt/sdb at IndepPrograms

- locate the independent data path
 search for a directory that contains the files
 * Installations.ini
 * Databases.ini
 * REPORTS   # the configuration of your database REPORTS
 The path before config/REPORTS is the independent data path. Enter
that
 path into the file /etc/opt/sdb at IndepData

- make sure that Databases.ini contains an entry for database REPORTS
