MAXDB distinguishes an instance dependant path /sapdb/<DBSID> and two instance independent paths, called IndepData and IndepPrograms. By default all three point to a directory below /sapdb.

The paths can be configured in a configuration file called /var/spool/sql/ini/SAP_DBTech.ini. Depending on the version of the MAXDB database this file contains different sections and settings.

A sample SAP_DBTech.ini for a host with a MAXDB 7.4 (LC1) and an APO 3.1 using a MAXDB 7.3 database instance (AP1):

[Globals]

IndepData=/sapdb/data

IndepPrograms=/sapdb/programs

[Installations]

/sapdb/LC1/db=7.4.2.3,/sapdb/LC1/db

/sapdb/AP1/db=7.3.0.15,/sapdb/AP1/db

[Databases]

.MAXDBLC=/sapdb/LC1/db

LC1=/sapdb/LC1/db

_MAXDBAP=/sapdb/AP1/db AP1=/sapdb/AP1/db [Runtime] /sapdb/programs/runtime/7240=7.2.4.0, /sapdb/programs/runtime/7250=7.2.5.0, /sapdb/programs/runtime/7300=7.3.0.0, /sapdb/programs/runtime/7301=7.3.1.0, /sapdb/programs/runtime/7401=7.4.1.0, /sapdb/programs/runtime/7402=7.4.2.0,

For MAXDB and liveCache Version 7.5 (or higher) the SAP_DBTech.ini file does not contain sections [Installations], [Databases] and [Runtime]. These sections are stored in separate files Installations.ini, Databases.ini and Runtimes.ini in the IndepData path /sapdb/data/config.

A sample SAP_DBTech.ini, Installations.ini, Databases.ini and Runtimes.ini for a host with a liveCache 7.5 (LC2) and an APO 4.1 using a MAXDB 7.5 (AP2):

from /var/spool/sql/ini/SAP_DBTech.ini:

[Globals]

IndepData=/sapdb/data

IndepPrograms=/sapdb/programs

from /sapdb/data/config/Installations.ini: [Installations] /sapdb/LC2/db=7.5.0.15,/sapdb/LC2/db /sapdb/AP2/db=7.5.0.21,/sapdb/AP2/db

from /sapdb/data/config/Databases.ini: [Databases]

.M750015=/sapdb/LC2/db

LC2=/sapdb/LC2/db

.M750021=/sapdb/AP2/db

AP2=/sapdb/AP2/db

from /sapdb/data/config/Runtimes.ini: [Runtime] /sapdb/programs/runtime/7500=7.5.0.0

If you decided to use option three, and the liveCache version is lower than 7.6:
