Procedure documentation Registering a Variant of the Current Database Instance Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You register a variant of a Structure linkdatabase instance. If you do not specify any options, the system makes a service entry for the fastest available variant of the database kernel.

Caution

The -f | -fast, -q | -quick, and -s | -slow options should only be used in case of error and in consultation with Structure linkSAP DB Support.

The options -f | -fast, -q | -quick, and -s | -slow allow you to register a database instance that has already been registered in an additional variant. If the same variant is registered more than once, the existing entry is overwritten with the same data.

Note

These options are only valid for the Microsoft Windows NT/Windows 2000 operating system.

Under the UNIX operating system these parameters are ignored.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization InstallMgm.

The database instance is in the OFFLINE operational state.

You have called the Database Manager CLI with the -d option.

Syntax

db_reg [<option>]

Options

-f | -fast
