Hi For those of you relying on the content of the web page "Patch Installation with SDBINST and Follow-Up Actions" http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/1f/906b3c12904d04e10000000a114084/content.htm in order to install/upgrade SAP DB instances, here are a few hints (valid at least for Windows). Perhaps some "homo SAPiens" could do the corrections right on the spot.
When calling dbmcli, never leave a blank between username and password (just put a comma there): OKAY : dbmcli.exe -d MYDATABASE -u DBADMIN,THEPASS db_offline ERROR: dbmcli.exe -d MYDATABASE -u DBADMIN, THEPASS db_offline The profile names seem to be case sensitive, so make sure that you write "Server" with a capital "S". OKAY : sdbinst.exe -profile Server ... ERROR: sdbinst.exe -profile server ... There a several dbmcli.exe in the SAP DB directories: - in /path/to/sap/DBM (994'304 Byte) - in /path/to/sap/depend/pgm (1'003'520 Byte) - in /path/to/sap/indep_prog/pgm (1'003'520 Byte) Can anyone explain the differences between them? Anyway, I took the /path/to/sap/depend/pgm version of dbmcli.exe and it worked fine.
