db_connect fails with error ERROR => DlLoadLib()==DLENOACCESS - LoadLibrary("D:\usr\sap\SID\DVE***\exe\dbsdbslib.dll")

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

We are trying to do a kernel upgrade from 700 to 721 on ECC 2005 IDES with Windows 2003 and MaxDB 7.6 as the platform.

After completing kernel upgrade the instance does not startup, And found the below error in all the dev_w* files.

calling db_connect ...

B  Loading DB library 'D:\usr\sap\I60\DVEBMGS00\exe\dbsdbslib.dll' ...

M  *** ERROR => DlLoadLib()==DLENOACCESS - LoadLibrary("D:\usr\sap\SID\DVE***\exe\dbsdbslib.dll")

  Error 126 = "The specified module could not be found." [dlnt.c       255]

B  *** ERROR => Couldn't load library 'D:\usr\sap\SID\DVE***\exe\dbsdbslib.dll'

[dbcon.c      5973]

M  ***LOG R19=> ThInit, db_connect ( DB-Connect 008192) [thxxhead.c   1527]

M  in_ThErrHandle: 1

M  *** ERROR => ThInit: db_connect (step 1, th_errno 13, action 3, level 1) [thxxhead.c   11584]

I have tried to install the latest patch of dbsdbslib.dll following the instructions from SAP note  325402, but was of no use.

Also tried with the notes 1487269, 822239, 649814. But was not successful.

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Regards,

Nikilesh

Hi Nikilesh,

Have you applied the both Kernel Packages (Database Independent, Database Specific) ?

Does the file exists D:\usr\sap\I60\DVEBMGS00\exe\dbsdbslib.dll? If yes, can you check the version? Right click > Properties > Details and check Copyright and File Version. It should be 721 like your Kernel.

Have you applied the latest SQLDBC that is required by Kernel 721? See SAP Note

822239

FAQ: SAP MaxDB interfaces

Point 14:

SAP kernel Release 7.2x (incl. 7.20 EXT, 7.21 EXT, NW 7.02, NW 7.03, NW 7.20, NW 7.3x)

The minimum SQLDBC runtime versions required by the DBSL (dbsdbslib) are:

7.7.07 >= Build 41 for all available platforms

Hi Nikilesh,

This path "D:\usr\sap\SID\DVE***\exe\dbsdbslib.dll" is not a valid path.

Please run "R3trans -d" via user <sid>adm and provide me with the trans.log.

Best regards,
James
