This is the mailing list for SAP DB / MaxDB used by open source.
7.2 never was part of open source distribution.
We have to assume that you have a SAP-application and should
contact your SAP-support.

Nevertheless: SYSDBA, RESOURCE, DBA are not the names
of the database-users, but their roles.

With SAP there is a very well known user with a very well known password
(I will not write here). With these you should connect and try.

Good luck
