Hi, Tilo! Everything is fine now.
Friday: Forcing the savepoint succeeded. We changed one malfunctioning HD on the server. After mirroring, the system came up without any grumbling. - Relaxed Weekend - Monday: Happy working... THANKS to all involved! Considering the upgrade to Build ...24 or higher... What are the todos and not todos...? Any PDF reachable? Greetings from Aurich. -------------------------------- Ralf Bolduan Tilo wrote: Hello Ralf, Warm regards from Uwe. As your running database process is - due to a bug - in an unfortunate state where any backups are prevented, you have to restart your database before you are able to do any further backup. To increase the chances of the restart, try to successfully forcing a savepoint ("dbmcli -d ... -u ...,... sql_execute force savepoint", look for error messages of this action in the file knldiag). To avoid the backup problem in future please upgrade your MaxDB software to build 7.5.00.24 or higher, as most probably your bug is fixed with http://www.sapdb.org/webpts?wptsdetail=yes&ErrorType=0&ErrorID=1133694 . Please check also for hardware problems, as your real problem is the "-9026 BD Bad datapage,write/check count". Best regards, Tilo Heinrich SAP Labs Berlin
