Hallo Daniel, The service connection is no connection to the database that is to be recovered, but a connection to the so called service database. The service database is a special database that is created during software installation. This service database also handles the recovery of parameters from backups.
To restore a database from a file backup of another database the following sequence of dbmcli-commands should work: dbmcli -R <INSTROOT> db_create <dbname> <dbmuser>,<dbmpassword> dbmcli -d <dbname> -u <dbmuser>,<dbmpassword> >medium_put <mediumname> <backuplocation> FILE DATA >service_connect >recover_config <mediumname> >service_release >param_directput RUNDIRECTORY <newrundirectory> >db_admin >db_connect >db_activate RECOVER <mediumname> >db_online >exit If this does not work, please specify what step went wrong and what the error message was.

Did you >recover the configuration from the backup using the command >recover_config or did you set up the parameters manually? recovering *anything* *anyhow* requires a service connection/session to the database. But in order to build up a service connection, the database needs to be in admin state. See the conflict? >If the kernel starts there should be some output in the >file knldiag.

RUNDIRECTORY is /var/opt/sdb/data/wrk/SAG_VIP Like I said multiple times before, no knldiag or knldiag.err can be found there. I tried initializing the database with backup parameters and by defining parameters, but in both cases I get the same error. Something is really broke here...
