Checking the Configuration of an SAP DB/MaxDB Instance

 

Using the CLI

UNIX

Login to the SAP DB/MaxDB Server system as the user under whose

 

account the SAP DB/MaxDB application is running (for example, the

 

sapdb user in the sapsys group).

In a cluster environment, the environment variable OB2BARHOSTNAME must be defined as the virtual hostname before running the util_sapdb.exe command from the command line (on the client). The OB2BARHOSTNAME variable is set as follows:

export OB2BARHOSTNAME=<virtual_hostname> Then execute the following command:

/opt/omni/lbin/util_sapdb.exe -chkconf<Instance_Name> (HP-UX systems) or

/usr/omni/bin/util_sapdb.exe -chkconf<Instance_Name> (other UNIX systems).

Data Protector attempts to connect to the SAP DB/MaxDB Server system using the information that was specified and saved during the configuration procedure.

In case of an error, the error number is displayed in the form *RETVAL*<Error_number>.
