MaxDB Syncronization manager

[Former Member]

Hi,

          I am using MaxDB 7.6 Version .Currently trying out Syncronization Manager To Replicate MAXDB Database To Mysql Database (Server(maxdb db name: MASTERDB) To Client(mysql db name : CLIENTDB ) ).I have MAXDB And MYSQL in Same Machine.Also copied sapdbc.jar,com.mysql.driver.jar in /lib  folder.

I have configured and started Message server & Syncservice  for maxdb database MASTERDB Only.Currently,Iam stucked out in Syncmangui while configuring mysql as client . I could chose mysql driver but i couldnt connect to mysql.Also I want to know whether  to configure Message server and Syncserver for MysqlDB and also i want to know whether iam missing steps in client side.If iam missing steps please suggest me.

Steps I Followed

-------------------------

1.Running Maxdb Database : (db_online)

2.msgserver start ( maxdb  database instance)

3. syncservice (maxdb database instance).

4.syncmangui

          added replication table for maxdb MASTERDATABASE

          for client i tried mysql db name but i couldnt connect to it.I have selected mysql driver jar

Thanks

The Synchronization Manager is a MySQL tool. This forum is about SAP MaxDB - please contact MySQL regarding your Synchronization Magar issue.

Ok, sorry for the confusion. The SAP MaxDB migration tool has undergone some name changes starting with 'Replication Manager', then for a short time indeed 'Synchronization Manager' and since MaxDB 7.7 we call it 'Loader'.

I am afraid since the Synchronization Manager is about 9 years old there is not much support for it anymore...

My suggestion would be to first upgrade your MaxDB to a recent version like at least 7.7.07.48 or 7.8.02.40. Then, use the 'Loader' as part of the Database Studi GUI or from the command line.

Hi,

if you want to migrate from MaxDB to MySQL you can use the MaxDB 'Loader' tool - for continous replication from MaxDB to MySQL I am sorry, but we do not have such a tool available (Synchronization Manager has been discontinued...). Loader is really the only option...
