NW ABAP Installation on Vista with DB Error -100 ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART :

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to install SAPNW7.01ABAPTrial verion on Vista OS.

I did the following steps successfully till now

*********************************************************************************************

1. Check first the system requirements.

2. Make sure the SAP Management Console is installed. If not install it here or by executing sapmmcX86u.msi from <extract_folder>\sapmmc.

3. Start the Installer and choose Run/Open in the upcoming pop-up window. Alternatively you can start setup.exe from <extract_folder>\image.

4. Follow the instructions in the install shield wizard.

5. After the installation has finished, the application server can be started automatically by selecting Start Application Server.

6. It is highly recommended to restart your system after installation.

7. After these steps i installed the SAPGUI , MAXDB and SQL Studio

*********************************************************************************

Proceed as follows to connect to the NSP database by MaxDB Database Manager:

Install the database manager as described above.

Double click the Database Manager icon that should be placed on your desktop now. Alternatively use Windows Start menu under Programs -> MaxDB -> Database Manager

In the upcoming Database Manager click on Add...<<The NSP database instance is displayed. Click on OK to confirm this dialog.>>

When i click on the Add button i get the following error in a pop-up

"100 ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART : " .

Can anyone please tell me what i need to do to connect the NSP database by using MAXdb.

************************************************************************************

Thanks a Lot,

Hi,

please verify two things:

1. Does the directory sapdb exist?

2. Can you start the SAP-Software with the SAPMMC?

To: abaper sap

I'm facing the same problem. How did you fix it?

[Oliver5]

Try this first please: start and stop Maxdb NSP instance without SAP tools, just with windows service. Use the correct credentials.

I have tried both -?starting and stopping Maxdb NSP instance without SAP tools

This doesn't help

[Oliver5]

Xserver?

its maxdb probelm probably and i am not an expert here. Anyway make sure MAxdb with NSP databse (10 GB) is up and running (windows process kernel.exe - should be the fatest)

Hi,

can you please try a 'dbmcli db_enum' and 'dbmcli inst_enum' from the commandline and show us the results?

Please make sure the commandline was entered with the option as an administrator.

I got the same error, But I can able to start NSP using SAPMMC. This requires windows username and password. With this I can able to login to SAP and work with no issues.

also I installed Database Manager, here also while I was trying to add the server <local>. Here I tried adding the Database server name as localhost, this worked.

Thank you,

Surya.

Thank you, I was also getting the error -100 ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART: Could not start DBM

when trying to add the instance in database manager.

by changing the "Database Server" name from <local> to localhost it now works properly.

THANK you
