Hi, This is my first post to the list. I had a problem today that greatly puzzled me and one of my database developers. I couldn't find anything about it in the list archives, and since we found the solution I thought I would post.
We were using SAPDB 7.3.0.25 on Linux (Debian, though we saw the identical behavior on SuSE 8.0 and I'm convinced it is architecture-independent), and we were working on restoring an instance from backup. I created the instance like so: % dbmcli -s -R /usr/local/sapdb/depend/ db_create DANBO <username, password> and wanted to log in and start a service session. This happened: % dbmcli -d DANBO -u <username, password> dbmcli on DANBO>service_connect ERR -24979,ERR_XPNOTFOUND: parameter not found We tried many different things and narrowed it down to exactly one difference, namely the trailing slash in the DEPEND directory argument. Creating the instance with this line allowed us to create a service session: % dbmcli -s -R /usr/local/sapdb/depend db_create DANBO <username, password> OK % dbmcli -d DANBO -u <username, password> dbmcli on DANBO>service_connect OK HTH! HAND. -- Dan Shick System Administrator Biotronik GmbH & Co. if you love a process, kill -HUP it. if it respawns, it is yours forever. if it dies, let it go -- it was never yours to begin with. it belongs to the earth and the sea. if it doesn't die, truss it. _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
