MaxDB Livecache Rename error

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have been renaming my maxBD livecache manually as per the SAP note 1427931 - Renaming an SAP MaxDB/liveCache database as of 7.8.

System details: SCM Live cache 7.9.07 (SP9) on MaxDB 7.9.07(SP9).

Initially had to change the contents of /etc/opt/sdb file as the path specified there does not exist.

Original content:

# cat sdb

[Globals]

IndepPrograms=/sapdb/programs

IndepData=/sapdb/data

SdbOwner=sdb

SdbGroup=sdba

Changed content:

# cat sdb

[Globals]

IndepPrograms=/db2/TLE/sapdb/programs

IndepData=/db2/TLE/sapdb/data

SdbOwner=sdb

SdbGroup=sdba

However during Register the database installation and the X server i am encountering the below issue:

# cd /db2/TLE/sapdb/programs/bin

# ./sdbreg -r -d TLE -path /db2/TLE/sapdb/TLE/db -sw_kernel -

start_listener

Could you please advise how to proceed on this.

Also pls find below the output of sdbverify command.

It still seems to be looking out for my source system(TLD) instaed of target system(TLE).

Does the maxDB needs to be installed again on the new box? will just copying all the FS not be suffice ?

Thanks,
