Bear with me if I am missing something obvious, but I am new to SAPDB (our database administrator was laid off, and I am trying to pitch in to help). I have searched the online documentation and the mailing list archives, but I can't find a solution.
I am trying to help someone get a database instance running again after recovering from a disk drive failure on an AIX server. They seem to have restored all of the appropriate files to the new drive, but when they try to start up SAPDB, they get the following error:
Starting SAPDB database server...
ok
Starting database instance ENVOY...
failed: ERR
-24994,ERR_RTE: runtime environment error
-11987,Parameter RUNDIRECTORY is missing!
Using dbmcli to look at the database parameters, it seems like SAPDB can't locate the proper configuration files, or can't read them. When they use "param_checkall", it complains with:
ERR
-24973,ERR_XPCHECK: param check failure/request
CONTROLUSERID Mandatory
which makes me believe that it isn't finding ANY parameters for some reason.
Any hints or suggestions about how to debug this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
