HI everyone,
The documentation made this look fairly straight forward, in that you install a 6.50 MaxDb 7.9 system and then user Loadercli to migrate the data contained in the old system into the new. Unfortunately, the new 6.50 install does not work. I get 403 and 404 errors when accessing the test urls for both content server and cache server and can only access the urls on the local host. Our OS is Windows 2012 R2 server with IIS 8.5. I don't seem to be able to locate the Content Server configuration details listed in the installation guide dated April 2014. I have also installed the MaxDBStudio 7.9 tool, however there appears to be no information on how to connect this to the installed content server and MaxDB database.
Please advise, post links to documentation, as the only solution that appears to exist is to deinstall and start again. This would be great IF there were a deinstall option to deinstall Content Server in sapinst supplied in SWPM10SP06_6-20009707.SAR (screenshot attached).
Many thanks in advance for any information.
Hi Reagan,
Tried the update function, and the tool reports it is not configured for updates. Tried loading to my local laptop as I also have working DBMGui there, and I get issues with password creation, so still cannot connect studio to remote databases. All rather bizarre as I have a colleague who uses a slightly older version to manage liveCache databases.

I have followed these instruction (link won't paste) in an attempt to resolve the initial password issue when opening the DBStudio (as admin)
Go to: Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Security -> Secure Storage -> Change Password
Regarding the DB Studio problem, it could be because of a damanged eclipse workspace. Try the following:
Problem is, I'm not even asked for an initial password. So I have two DBStudio's neither of which work and both for different reasons.
Hi Reagan,
I meant to update yesterday. Some how the DBStudio is now working on the target server (Windows 2012 R2). Not completely sure how I did it, but I think it involved using the sdblaunch program to uninstall just DBStudio. I then deleted the folders as in step 2 above, and then used the Installation Manager or SDBSETUP I can't remember which, and watched an update of the DBStudio 3 components take place. I then had to execute DBstudio as current user and uncheck the restriction box (domain user is in the Admin group for this server) and it all went as it should. Able to add both source and target Content Server databases. Backup and recovery can wait till Monday
I believe you have successfully migrated the MaxDB database to 64-bit. Check whether the IIS roles are present for the Content Server. 1704365 - IIS roles not created by default when installing Content Server on Windows 2008
The configuration details are stored in the ContentServer.ini file

Hi Reagan,
I haven't, as yet been able to restore the database contents of our 6.40 system to the 6.50 system. I have read that this can only be done via MaxDbStudio recommended version 7.9. This I have installed on both the 6.40 (32bit) server and 6.50 (64bit) server. However, there seems to be no information on how to configure MaxDBStudio to pick up the existing database, thus I am unable to perform the backup on the 32 bit server in order to restore the database on the 64 bit server as per instructions in SAP note 129352. This achieved I will then be able to look at IIS (version 8.5), although I am not sure how to go about creating the roles in the note given above. Do you have any information on how to connect MaxDBStudio to the MaxDB instances?
Many thanks
Hi Reagan,
X_server processes are running. I have DBMGUI 7.6 attached to the instances on both servers, but do not get anything when I execute dbstudio. No pop up window, just a blank screen, even when executing it from the command line with
dbstudio.exe. -l MAXDB -n <hostname> -d CDB -u control,passwd -d SDB -u control, passwd -a DBM
Many thanks
