Hello, was this problem solved? I seem to have the same here on a MaxDB 7.6.0.18 on Linux (x86_64):
The medium was created with following command: medium_put BACKfull /space/sapdb/bkp/full PIPE DATA 0 8 NO NO BACK When I trigger a backup with "backup_start BACKfull" (after a db_connect), it lasts some seconds and then following error is displayed: ERR -24988,ERR_SQL: Sql error -903,Host file I/O error,Wrong file type 3,Data backup failed 17,Servertask Info: because Error in backup task occured 10,Job 1 (Backup / Restore Medium Task) [executing] WaitingT465 Result=3700 6,Error in backup task occured, Errorcode 3700 "hostfile_error" A quick look in knldiag: 2006-07-25 16:09:20 47 11597 IO Open '/space/sapdb/bkp/full' successfull, fd: 44 2006-07-25 16:09:20 47 ERR 11000 d0_aopen filetype found file, required pipe 2006-07-25 16:09:20 47 11566 stop DEVi stopped 2006-07-25 16:09:20 21 11000 vasynope '/space/sapdb/bkp/full' T40 failed At the location for the pipe a regular file with 65536 Bytes exists. In earlier versions SAP DB/MaxDB created the pipe itself. The backint program (defined in <WORKDIRECTORY>/bsi.env) isn't called too. Did I made something wrong with the media-definition? I also made some tests with backup-media without BACK prepended and so on. I also created the pipe manually via mknod - but nothing helped. bye Christian Jung -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Heinrich, Tilo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 12.
