Symptom
In a SAP installation with MaxDB database, Software Provisioning Manager tool (SWPM) fails with following error:
sapinst_dev.log |
ERROR <timestamp>Error during execution of command identifier 'DOES_INSTALLATION_EXIST' : Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/sdb/core/main/cmd/SdbCmdMainCaused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.sdb.core.main.cmd.SdbCmdMain at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:255) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:243) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:372) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:344) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:313)Could not find the main class: com.sap.sdb.core.main.cmd.SdbCmdMain. Program will exit. |
There is a similar error message 'DOES_INSTALLATION_EXIST' explained in SAP Note #2207314, but the installation scenario is different and so is the solution.
#2207314 - DOES_INSTALLATION_EXIST: MaxDB Software must be installed before this class can be instantiated
