    Hi All

    We are on Lawson S3, LSF 9.0.0.4, SQL2005

    We recently had a failure of our database server and had to rebuilt a new sql server (using the same name, same domain but different IP address).

    We restored the following databases DEV, GEN,LOGAN and MSCM90

    However now when we try and start lawson we are getting the following error in ladb.log

    *****ladb.log************* start

    Wed May 06 16:23:32 2009: ladb (main): can't create shared memory
        Invalid argument (22)
    Wed May 06 16:23:32 2009: ladb (ShutDown): initiated (-2)
    Wed May 06 16:23:32 2009: ladb (ShutDown): startup
    ladb: Database server startup failed.

    *****ladb.log************* end

    Any tips from anyone would be great on what steps needs to be done if we have to restore the database

    regards

    Saurabh

          Since you rebuilt your entire SQL-Server box, I would make sure the database account(s) specified in your CAPS files for DEV, LOGAN, GEN, and MSCM90 have been created at the SQL-Server level.  The database restores you've done restore the user accounts at the database level but SQL-Server may consider those uses as "orphan" accounts because they don't tie to SQL-Server accounts.

          Connect to SQL-Server via Management Studio, then open the Security folder followed by the Logins folder.  Make sure your user accounts and their passwords have been created here and those accounts have been "mapped" to the correct databases, schemas (such as "dbo"), and database roles (such as "db_owner").  You may have to drop the database accounts first before creating them at the server level.  I know there are SQL scripts that will do everything I described but I am so use to using the Management Studio interface.

          Hope this helps.

            use this script to relink the orphan user account in SQL2005

            use databasename;
            exec sp_change_users_login 'Auto_Fix', 'userID'

              The logins and sids were realigned. Had checked and ensure that schema of db's matched the MICROSOFT file.

              The issue seemed to have been the following
              a. Lawson uses static port for SQL (we have three environment DEV, UAT and PREPROD)
              in the new environment we had the port set to a different number

              b. we had 3 hung java.exe processes whic had to be manually killed (so the article was close but does not specify which processes to look for). the java.exe processes did not seem to have a reference to any of the environments and did not get killed off even after doing a restart

              I have now got the Productline databases up but am still getting the error
              "Database is currently unavailable. " from the MSCM portal

              Many thanks for the continused help
