I would stop the full gui and also end all dbm*.exe processes in the task manager and start it new.

Moving SAP Content Server/MaxDB 7.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 Server

Hi All.
We are in the process of upgrading our server where the SAP content server is located. We are going from SAP CS 6.30/MaxDB 7.6 to a Windows 2008 R2 server where we want to install SAP CS 6.40/MaxDB 7.8. I have been following the latest manual from SAP for upgrading to MaxDb 7.8 (2010-10-05) from MaxDb 7.6 using the in-place method.
To date we have installed MaxDB 7.6 on the server. We restored our latest backup and performed the index checks as spelled out in the manual. I have the database in ADMIN mode and went to run the MaxDb 7.8 install for the 64 bit window version. THe install GUI comes up, but the Update selection is grayed out. This tells me that the install program can not detect our existing database. I did make sure I was running the install as Admim so I do not think that is the issue.
This is the second time I have tried this upgrade. The first time I did a comand line upgrade by runing the .bat file DBUPDATE.bat. We have a 110 Gbyte database and this upgrade ran in about 15 minutes, and of course when I went to openthe database it was toast. Do not want to make the same mistake again.
One other point, since we did a restore of the database, then the index check, we did not run a backup as the manual suggested as we felt it was not necessary. Does the system require a backup before upgrade and that is why it does not see the database?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I beleive we have resolved the issue with upgrading the database, but now we are having a problem with Datbase Studio 7.8. Before the upgrade we used Data Manager 7.6. After the upgrade we installed Database Studio 7.8 and when we go to start it up, we are getting the Problems opening perspective 'com.sap.sdb.tools.ut.perspectives.mainPerspective'. I followed the instruction in another post Problems opening perspective in Database Studio, but we still are getting the error.
Can anybody offer any assistance as we are getting close to the weekend when we want to do the cutover and we are not even done with our first pass at upgrading the SAP content server.
Thanks
John

Hello Experts,
I am new to MaxDB and Content Server.Please help me to my below queries which will be very helpful to me.
1. I have installed content server 6.40 MaxDB 7.6.
2. I have installed DBStudio for MaxDb Administration.
3. I have installed ADINT/TSM Client as I need to use IBM TSM server for backup/restore.
Please provide me the steps to do backup/restore of MaxDb database using TSM.
Thank you again.

Karthick Eswaran

Lars,
You are very quick. Working on Sunday as well!
I have checked the location /usr/tivoli/tsm/adint64/temp but there is nothing in that location.
But how did you identify that this is the issue with TSM Client?
Where will be the log file stored for MaxDB and TSM Client?
Please let me know how to check whether the pipe is created or not?
After changing the backup script to :
OD1>>backup_start FullData recovery DATA
The previous message got disappeared and now the below error shows up.

Archiving to SAP Content Server/MaxDB: TCP/IP errors when deleting in paral

Dear experts.
We are struggling to get the optimal setup for archiving to SAP Content Server using MaxDB. After running one or more archiving jobs for a few hours we suddenly loose connection to the Content Server, and we need to restart the content server before continueing. We long thought it was the logspace which was running full, but this was eliminated. Now it seems as the error occurs when 4 or more deletions jobs is running in parallel. (Write->Store->Delete).
The run-times on a typical archiving job for about 3 GB data would be W: 3000sec S:40sec D: 12000sec. In general the delete job takes about 3 times the write-job.
Everything seems fine until one suddenly get the TCP/IP error after some heavy archiving jobs.
Have anyone experienced anything like this, and are there any good ideas on how to avoid this?
Thank you very much for your inputs on this.

We were running 3 parallell delete jobs yesterday, and it all went fine until I started the 4th job, then all jobs stopped immediately. The KNLDIAG file at the exact time of the problem looks like this:

We have not yet looked at the tips regarding the windows errors, but will do that when we get the possibilty. In the mean time; do you read anything from this above? It looks like when several jobs are crashing at the same time there is one which has the "Time limit exceeded" and the rest TCP/IP error.
Could it possibly be the MAXUSERSESSIONS parameter, or are you still leaning towards something outside the database?

TREX indexing from content server(maxdb)

Hello.
I've installed standalone TREX on Linux, configured the connection to R3 system and to Portal as well. On the R3 I have configured connection to the SAP Content serve(via archive link) where we save some documents(pdf, doc. files). The part which I don't understand is how can I configure the repository of the content server as a source for the Trex index?
Any hint would be useful. Thanks in advance.
Vit

Hi,
the question is what exactly do you wanna do?
Integrating a archivelink in the Portal or indexing the documents via ERP?
In the first case you must create a web repository and define an index.
In the other case it depends on the SAP Solution but mostly you have to customize the SM59, SRMO, SKPR06.

Content Server using MaxDB 7.6

Dear all:
I am running ECC5.0 using Oracle 10g and also running EHS module. Since EHS contribute the data growth 15 times faster than other SAP modules total, I decide to move EHS MSDS (pdf files, etc..) to content server using MaxDB 7.6 in order to slow down the data groth. I have set up the content server and the connection between SAP and content server is fine.
I can also move the pdf files from SAP into content server and I can also access the pdf files after I moved it to content server.
However, I would like to verify the pdf files in the content server MaxDB. Is anyway I can find out where is the data stored in the content server MaxDB? how can I find out the table name that the data stored? Like oracle, I can find out the table and run SQL to retrieve the record. I believe MaxDB come with SQL studio that should be to do something similar but I just don't know how to approach it. Thanks.

> I can also move the pdf files from SAP into content server and I can also access the pdf files after I moved it to content server.
Hi LaDo,
the Content Server schema design is actually pretty simple.
The documents you store into the content server are saved in LONG columns. So to access this data you would have to read this binary data by a program. You cannot simply use a text-based SQL interface like sqlcli or SQL Studio for that.

As I've written above, the data is stored in binary form and you will have to use a program that takes this data and saves a file from it.
Anyhow to explore the content server schema, just use the SQL Studio or the DB Studio, logon as the SAP<SID> user and check what tables there are.
There will be displayed just in the DB Objects treeviews.

SAP Content Server 6.40 on 32 or 64 bit OS?

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if SAP Content Server 6.40 on NW 2004s with MaxDB 7.6 will run on Windows 2003 64 or 32 bit? I have installed in on a x64 bit 2003 server now, but there seems to be some issues. For starters, I get the following error message when I try to run "http://<hostname>:<portno.>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo" as part of the post-processing when installing SAP Content Server 6.40:
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Does anyone have any ideas?

TREX - Generic Object Services (GOS) - CV04N -Content Server

Hello,
I'v installed a content server / maxdb, and i forwarded the attached files (Gos) to this content repository.
I'v installed TREX and I can see the fields in the CV04N.
Just one question :
Can I search some documents via TREX (CV04N), or what is the best practice for storing the attachments and search it with TREX ?
Thanks
Stéphane.

MaxDB Connection Issue for Content Server

Hi All,
We have installed Content Server 6.40 on Windows 203 server.
We are able to visit the Url http://host:port/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
But while creatng a repository i am facing issues..its throwing error that
"HTTP error: 500 (Internal Server Error) "CreateTab ContentStorage, connect error SQLConnect failed, [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data s"
Checked these two notes 698915, 301352 and ru the comman to register MaxDB drivers and got that message that the drivers registered successfulyy.
But still i am not able to create repository uing CSADMIN.
Also ,when tryng to connect to MaxDB using superdba or contro user ,its throwing error "-2 ERR_USRFAIL authorization failed "
Even the control user i amnot able to login.I am giving the password which i gave during installation.
Database is SDB
Pls suggest.
Regards
Ajay

Hello Ajay,
1. I recommend you to create the SAP ticket, if you failed to connect to MaxDB
using superdba or control user with known to you passwords.
2. Could you post the password, which you used during the installation.
In the past the issue was with using passwords more as 9 symbols with Unicode MAXDB.
If you was using, for example, "test123456" password => try to connect to the database
with u201Ctest12345u201D password < first 9 symbols of the password you used during the installation >.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Content Server URL not working.Win2008-MAXDB 7.6.06.20-IIS7

Hello Experts,
I have installed Content Server 6.4 successfully on WIN2K8 with IIS7 and MAXDB 7.6.6.20
When i tried to access the content server url, i was prompted with a POP UP asking for download of ContentServer.dll.
I have strictly followed the installation guide -CONTENTSERVER on WIN 2008 and installed all the necessary roles mentioned in the installation guide.I have also checked the option - install website during my installtion.but still facing the issue while accessing content server URL.
While going through SDN forums, in some of the threads, it was mentioned that manual installation of content server website has resolved the issue.
Could any one please let me know the procedure to be followed for manual installation of content server website to the port manually.
Or
Kindly suggest the solution for this, if you have come across the similar issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Sriram Pingali

Hi,
I have installed Content Server 6.4 successfully on WIN2K8 with IIS7 and MAXDB 7.6.6.20
When i tried to access the content server url, i was prompted with a POP UP asking for download of ContentServer.dll.
1) Firstly check whether you have installed all the components pertaining to IIS 7.0 in your system
2) Check whether you have allowed contents like *.dll in the IIS
Hope this helps.

Role of MaxDb in SAP content server

Hello experts,
We have already gone through the content server documents.
We are not yet clear with role of MaxDb database in SAP content sever.
Is it prerequisite to install MaxDb for SAP content server?(eventhough documents has to be store in file system)
We Want to perform document archiving, for this reason we want to store documents in File system.
So in this scenario where will be the meta data stored?

Hi Akshay,
You can check the installation guide, you can install Content server without maxdb on a separate server and it will use the storage (File system) of that server to store the documents.
As far as I know, the meta data is stored on the file system(if Maxdb not used) or on Maxdb and the header is stored on the SAP side.
For installation without maxdb, you can check the below link

1) Shall I install the below in a single Drive in my server like (C:.....etc)
a) MaxDB Independent Programe Drive b) MaxDB Independent Data Drive

1) How many Data Volumes will be created with default installation
2) can we increase existing Data Volumes, if so what is the maximum volume
3) What is the maximum Data Volume in GB that we can assign
4) If we assign 50 GB or 100 GB in a single Data Volume will there be a performance issue.

Moving docs from Content Server 6.30/SAP DB to CS 6.40/MaxDB. Problems?

Hi SAP Experts
A question today about Content Server versions and unicode.
We are planning to extract documents stored in SAP Content Server 6.30 (SAPDB 7.3) connected to ECC5.
And move the documents to be stored in a separate SAP Content Server 6.40 (MaxDB 7.6) connected to a different ECC5 system.
I have seen that the latest MaxDB 7.6 is installed as unicode by default.
The CS 6.30 with SAPDB 7.30 is non-unicode (CODE=ASCII)
Does anyone know of any issues we may encounter with this process?
Logically we are taking a document stored in a Non-Uni database (CS 6.30/SAPDB 7.3) and moving it to be stored in a Uni database (CS 6.40/MaxDB 7.6).
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
Regards Graham

Hi Gregor,
That's what I thought may have been the case. Since I sent this post, I tried bypassing SAPINST by analyzing install scripts, and manually installing the Apache shared library, and other config files. At this point, I can bring-up the content server, but somehow it is not able to analyze the archivelink function from the URL. Finally I gave up, and decided to use supposted Linux distributions, I was trying to avoid initially as those were not free as for such a small component, seemed like overkill.
Thanks for the information.

Vishal
