How to access SMP if I don't use SAP product but only MaxDB?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I am a MaxDB user and our company operates a website with MaxDB as the data engine behind it since 2003. Recently I am evaluating if we can use synchronization to scale out, however I hit road blocks when I research information and most are on SMP which requires a login. How can I get access there ?

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

the SAP Service Marketplace is for SAP customers only.

Anyhow, especially for MaxDB there are many information available for public use.

There's the [WIKI|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/maxdb/main] and the [MaxDB Website|http://maxdb.sap.com/] that includes online searchable documentation, as well as trainings materials and presentations from the MaxDB events.

A good starting point is always the [MaxDB Homepage here in SDN|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/maxdb].

If you don't find your questions answered with these options, you can always post your question here to the forum.

Anyhow, what information did you want to look up and only find them in the SAP notes on SMP?

Especially if you're an "Open Source"-MaxDB user, most of the available documentation is already made accessible via the resources I mentioned.

regards,

Lars
