Hello,
There is this "cannot switch to sdb owner" in dbmsrvctl which happens
often on Linux at install time for various reasons. I had a look at
the
maxdb-7.6 code to find out, what the reason for that can be. It is
actually printed if RTE_SetSapdbOwnerAndGroupId() returns false. And I
noticed that this function takes a errList (Msg_List) out parameter
which is supposed to hold detailed information about the actual
problem.
So a small fix which highly helps to debug setup problems would be to
print out the content of errList in this printf. I think this is
somehow
done with:
if ( ! localErrlist.IsEmpty() )
RTE_Message(localErrlist);
But I am not sure.
Is it please possible to make this modification and increase the
serviceability of the software greatly?
Bernd,
we are in a transition to create&fill Msg_List objects in case of an
error
and propagate these messages to the upper layers, so that SQL and admin
statements can print a detailed description of what caused the error
somewhere in the kernel.
This transition is not finished yet, so we have still a lot of functions
that won't generate message lists and other functions ignoring or
'eating'
message lists on their way up to the user interface.
Your fix to send the output to the message file is an eligible short
term
workaround for hidden message lists but will not help on our long
term goal
to increase the supportability by giving direct feedback to user
commands.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Henrik
