Hi,
you could also try to check the database state using either the commandline tool DBMCLI or the Database Manager GUI. If you need assistance here, please ask.
Additionally, you could check in the Rundirectory (normally located at <drive>:\sapdb\data\wrk\<SID>) of your MaxDB instance and look for the files knldiag and knldiag.err. The latter file lists all errors. If you jump to the end of that file, you should see the latest errors.

Hi,
there must be some more information in the file named 'knldiag' or 'knldiag.err' file. Can you please copy and paste some information from either of those files into this thread?
Additionally, please mention your exact MaxDB/SAP DB Version (incl. Build).
I also noticed you've set the date of your system to the year 2020???

Webi Refreshing Error :database name not found and no default driver specified

Hi All,
When I refreshing the webi report from Launchpad getting bellow error
"database name not found and no default driver specified"
Bellow is the Screen shot
It is refreshing in webi Rich client (server and client tools are in same system) but not from Launch pad
1. Environment :BI 4.0 SP4
2. Server and client tools are installed in same system
3. Created a 32 bit odbc, universe connection is responding properly and report refreshing in rich client(I could not find 64 bit odbc) .
Can Please suggest me where I am doing wrong
Regards,
Mahi

Hi Mahi,
Seems like your BO server is 64 bits and you have created a 64 bits DSN; whereas your database requires 32 bits DSN.
Try below steps:
1. Navigate to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory and open odbcad32.exe. This will open the ODBC Data Source Administrator for 32-bit drivers on the 64-bit server. NOTE: The ODBC Data Source Administrator that is located by clicking Start and Administrative Tools will only create 64-bit ODBC connections.
2. Click on the System DSN tab
3. Click on Add to create a new Data Source
4. Provide the database details
5. Your 32-bit ODBC data source is now ready for use.
Hope it will help.

Database does not exist in the specified path

Just bought a USB 6009 DAQ and for some reason I now keep getting this error: "Database does not exist in the specified path" in VI Logger 2.0.1 it was working. Can anyone help??

Jared,
It sounds like VI Logger somehow lost its association with its
database. Please open MAX and check out the "Historical
Data"->"Citadel 5 Universe" entry. Under "My Computer" in the
right-hand pane, you should have a database called "VI Logger Data". It
must be spelled, spaced, and capitalized the exact same way. If you do
not have this database (which I suspect you do not), right click on "My
Computer" and select "Create/Attach Database..." The default database
path (if you want to have access to your old data) is C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\VI Logger,
with the database name as "VI Logger Data". If you want to create a new
database, then specify a new path.
If "VI Logger Data" does appear, a possible fix is to detach and
reattach it. Right click on "VI Logger Data," select
"Detach/Delete...," and chose the "Detach" option. Finally, reattach
the database as described above.
Hope this helps,

Database is not discovered.

I've added 2 new database targets in Grid Control. One of the targets is used as primary database and the other one is physical standby. Data guard configuration is set manually and is working well. However when i click "Verify Configuration" in Grid Control i get the error "Database is not discovered". Also, performance overview is reporting this error "Unable to obtain Agent location for target <my target name>. You may not currently be logged in."
Any idea why is this happening?

I solved my problem. The data guard from OEM now dicovers both databases. I'm not sure what caused the problem, but i think it was the naming of databases inside dataguard broker and OEM. Because my dataguard configuration was done through SQL and command line broker.
What i did now was, removed standby database from broker configuration in OEM, and added it again. Performed switchover and did the same thing again with other database. This way broker database configuration got new property that can be seen with "show database" command inside broker command line. Property name is "OEM Name:", and it wasn't there before i added standby database through OEM.
I hope this helps.

Database is not integrated; upgrade not possible

Does anybody knows how I can solve this issues?

Database Connection: Http Error 405 Method Not Allowed

Hi,
I am new to this forum, but I am having an issue I hope you can help with. I have a database on my MS SQL Server 2008. I am trying to access it with my DW8 page, and while I can code a connection successfully, I can't use the Database or Bindings Tab in DW. I can successfully get the database to show if I "Build..." the connection (Test Connection works.) However, if I click ok, the database shows up in my tab, but under Tables... (none)! Also, if I hit Test button on the OLE Db Connection window, I get Http Error 405 Method Not Allowed. If I use the SQL Server Connection Option, I get the same result.
I have scoured Google for an answer. There are a lot of links to questions, but no answers. There was apparently an answer on adobe.com, but the link is broken: http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/ts/documents/err405.htm. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great Day!
RobF

Thank you SnakEyez02.
I had the Testing Server set to Local/Network but didn't have MySQL installed locally. Changed that setting to FTP and it picked up on the database correctly.
When using MSSQL it doesn't matter whether you choose Local/Network or FTP it just picks up the online database regardless. I guess this must just be a difference between it and MySQL.
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

Hello Satish,
-> My assumption was correct. Please see my first reply:
"Please pay attention that the liveCache server software is not supported on the 32bit Windows
server. You could install the liveCache client software on 32 bit Windows server, if the

You need the server, where you could install the liveCache instance.
After the liveCache instance will be installed, you need to follow up with the post installation
Steps from the liveCache installation guide, which you could also display from link

Hello Bhavik,
with your given information (the query from above and the posted ORA-errors) - unfortunately i have to say .. you are almost lost, i really advise you to get professional support on your system for that. Let me explain why.
The information from the query
SQL> SELECT * FROM V$LOG;

14         ONLINE /oracle/RQ1/mirrlogB/log_g14m2.dbf
and the ORA-00322 error:
ORA-00322: log 14 of thread 1 is not current copy
ORA-00312: online log 14 thread 1: '/oracle/RQ1/mirrlogB/log_g14m2.dbf'
ORA-00322: log 14 of thread 1 is not current copy
As you can see your online redo log group 14 has the status ACTIVE, that means that this online redolog files are needed for a crash recovery (not all needed data was already flushed to the data files), but the files from the online redo log group 14 are lost (deleted accidentally). But you have really luck that this online redologfile is already archived (see query ARC = YES) so you must have a archivelog file with the sequence number 22291.
The problem in your case is that the recover is performed through the online redolog files (normally done by a complete recovery), but the online redolog files are already deleted. To fix this issue you have to restore an older backup and make a recover trough the archive log files (including the sequence 22291 which was already archived) and not through the online redolog groups.
At this point this is the only way to get a running database again (but maybe with data lost).
The other serious problem is the redolog group 11, it seems like this group was the CURRENT redolog (take a look at the sequence and the SCNs) and you will lose this data.
I can imagine that the database was not shutdown clearly at the moment of the redolog file deletion - the most indications are pointing to this.
Sorry that i have no better news for you.. please get professional support who can execute the necessary steps for you.
Regards
Stefan

11gR2 Install Error, Listener is not up or database service is not registered with it

Hi all,
I'm currently studying towards my OCA, I've passed 1z0-051 (SQL Fundementals I), and now I'm moving onto 1z0-052 (Admin 1).
Im really having trouble creating a database in Oracle 11g R2 Enterprise Edition. I install the software no problem. Then I create a database, and during the creation I have to createsa listener which uses TCP (default port:1521) and IPC. whilst creating the database I get the following error
'Listener is not up or database service is not registered with it. Start the Listener and register database service and run EM configuration Assistant again.'
Now, before you lynch me, I have searched this forum for answer to this for a day and a half. I've also tried google, i just can't find a answer that sorts out my problem. please assist me.
I'm running on Windows 7 Professional (32bit) (I have previously tried on the 64 bit version with teh same results).

SOLVED!
OK all solved now, thanks to the link to Ed Stevens website that Baris posted (mucho respect )
Seems that like Barus said I was not using Dynamic Registration, which means that I would need to manua
ly update the listerner.ora file. On top of that it seems that for some my tnsnames.ora wasn't resolving mt database name so the tnsping wasfailing.
What I did to solve the name resolution problem
1. Opened the
Network Configuration Assistant and saw that my listener didnt have my DB registered with it. So I added it. What this horrible GUI tool does is update the tnsnames and listener.ora files for you. So once that was done I went to the command prompt and did ;'tnsping <dn name> and hey presto it was getting a nice response.
Then I re-ran my DB Configuration Assistant and tried to reconfigure my database. However it aing failed and gave me the same message that I was originally getting about the DB Service not being registered etc..the lister status still said that same thing:
Services Summary...
Service "CLRExtProc" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "CLRExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
the 'unknown' means that the DB didnt tell the listener that it was there but instead the listener is in manual mode and will just use the configuration in the listener.ora to know where the DB is.
So then I followed the steps on the ED Stevens website (follow the link). He has steps which show how to enable Dynanmic registration so that your DB regusters itself with the listener. In a nutshell, he states that he listener actually doesnt need the listerner.ora if using dynamic registration. I shutdown the DB, stopped the listener then I renamed the lsitener.ora to listerner.old, then started the lietener and checked the status and it said 'the listener supports no service' I then started the DB and, then resched teh listener status, it then read 'status: READY'... hooray!, the DB had dynamically registered itself with the listener. I then was able to successfully start up and run Enterprise Manager.
Thanks for all your help Baris, and Ed Steven website.
I know more now than when I started so I'm happy.
Thanks.

Error creating a new user profile service application: The specified database is not a valid synchronization database

When trying to create a new user profile service application on a new SharePoint install I get the following error:
"The specified database is not a valid synchronization database"
The installation then fails and does not create the third database.
I found some threads with similar problems but it involved upgrading an existing db. In this case we want to create a new one. Here is the relevant ULS log info:

I Tried to create another one under a different name (databases also) and I get the same error.
The SharePoint instance has the march mandatory update installed. The sql instance we are using is an existing SQL cluster for other SharePoint poc's.
Has anybody seen this issue before?

I had the same problem and could not figure out what was wrong for the longest time. I then had the idea to check in the model system database to see if there were any extra custom tables in that database. Any tables that are in the model database
are put into any new database when it is created. I had some custom tables in the model database so I deleted the custom tables in the model database and deleted the failed user profile service application and its databases and then tried to recreate
the user profile service application again and it worked with no errors

Unable to refresh the schema of FIM MA.Getting an error in Event viewer ""the current version of database is not compatible with the one expected by Forefront Identity Manager service. The current version of database is : 1116. The expected version is :1"

Hi,
We have installed FIM MA with an account that have all the sufficient rights.It got created successfully and worked for Full Import and Full Sync. But, due to some version incompatabilities, we have installed a patch.PFB link for the patch.
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2969673/en-us
Now, we are trying to refresh the schema of FIM MA. While doing that we are facing an error "Failed to connect to database". The user account with which we are connecting has read and write permissions on DB.In the event viewer some errors are
logged like "the current version of database is not compatible with the one expected by Forefront Identity Manager service. The current version of database is : 1116. The expected version is :1122" with event ID 3. PFB images for more detailed
view.
Please advice how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Prasanthi.

Hello,
seems to me that you maybe only updated the syncengine but not portal/webservice.
I had that error once after an recovery from scratch and forgot one of the hotfixes to apply to all services.
