Shared Memory not available

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using MaxDB Community Edition 7.6.06.10

Now the second customer has the error

-24700 Could not start DBM Server

-24832 Shared memory not available

-24744 Shared Memory from different platform Unknown (0x00) (expected WIN32, I386)

Both installations worked fine over several weeks/months.

What can I do?

Thank you,

Hi,

I deleted the two files you mentioned and now the database is online again. Thank you for your support.

Hi

I was given this fix by SAP Support.

In the directory X:\sapdb\data\wrk you will find two files SID.dbm.shm and SID.dbm.shi.

Rename these files to have a .old extension and restart your DBM session. These files will be recreated automatically.

This can be done while the database is online.

Regards

Doug

What did you do prior to this error? Are you running 32bit software?
