Hi, the error -8003 means that log and data are incompatible. In most cases you get this error, when the data and the log are belonging to different database instances. I suppose, you only restored the data on an existing database, but the log remained as it was. The operations on the log obviously do not match the data. So you get an error. You can avoid this by initializing the database before restoring the data by using the command "util_execute init config". regards, Martin _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
