Dear experts,
I'm running MaxDB with minisap trial version (Netweaver 7.01). It was running fine for months. This week I couldn't get my instance to run. The computer was locked on starting sometimes. I could see the cause on Windows Services: MaxDB was showing STARTING and didn't have any options for Stop or Restart. The only way to stop it was to restart or shut down Windows.
In Windows Services, I had to change the setting back to Manual (from Automatic). By restarting Windows I get it to shut down, but when I start the Service again, it opens very slowly and then right before completing the operation it throws up an Error Message 1053: service couldn't start in timely manner. It doesn't stop the service, it keeps running and shows STARTING.
I tried killing kernel.exe in Task Manager, but it just restarts again. It seems like there is something else going on, I don't know how to solve the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much,
Sergio
