Thanks a lot Ralf! I gave full access to the entire /opt/sapdb path and subdirectories (to all users) 8)
The error still happens, but the good news is that now I have the knldiag file being generated. There's one line with ERR type, as follows: 2003-08-26 22:21:13 4775 ERR 11328 IPC Cannot optain common IPC RTE key I tried to find something about IPC RTE keys, but with not much success, and I have no idea what this is about. Can anyone give me a clue? I'm looking for the SAPDB patches as you recommended. Thanks very much for the help! Bye!
