Hello,
I've the problem on my SLES10 with MaxDB 7.7.07.24 that the tool protconv every monday at ca. 04:30 crashes with segfault. The only reason I know this, is our monitoring system wich alerts the following text from /var/log/messages:
Feb 14 04:26:34 hk-bhbp0 kernel: protconv[32369]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002ada01206990 rsp 00007fffaa2ed2b8 error 4
The Problem occured first time, after I had updated the DB from 7.7.06.15 to 7.7.07.24. Does anybody has an Idea what's happening here? If I start protconv manually the entry in /var/log/messages does not appear.
Does protconv only runs one time per week?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi,
the purpose of 'protconv' is to convert the 'pseudo-XML' error log files in /sapdb/data/wrk/ to plain text [(for details click here)| http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/PwErAg].
Basically, protconv is used by other applications like Database Studio, Database Manager or R/3 transaction DB50 or via dbmcli whenever the log files are requested.
I have not heard of any segmentation fault in combination with protconv, but to proceed here, I would suggest determining the application that calls protconv at 04:30. If this is an R/3 system, please check for any database jobs around that time. Also, is there any corresponding error message in the 'dbm.prt' file?
Regards,
Thorsten
