Database settings in SQL server

Hi,
Please provide SAP's recommendations for Database Settings when upgarding to BPC 7                                                                               
1.Compatibility Level. Should it be (80) or (100)?                                                                               
Compatibility Level of 80 = SQL 2000                                                                               
Compatibility Level of 90 = SQL 2005                                                                               
Compatibility Level of 100 = SQL 2008                                                                               
2. Recovery Model (Simple or Full)   
Thanks.
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
For 7.0
SQL Server 2000 is not supported
Compatibility Level of 90 = SQL 2005 if you are using SQL Server 2005
Compatibility Level of 100 = SQL 2008 if you are using SQL Server 2008
Recovery Model
It is depending by the disaster recovery model which customer would like to implement.
If for the customer lossing data for last 24 hours is an accepted then you can use SINGLE
If for the customer the data lost can be in maximum X hours (X< 24)  then you have to use FULL.(and you have to implement
the backup maintenance plan according with this requirement).

  • SAP and Database Encrption on SQL Server 2005 or 2008

    Hi.  I searched as best I could for any existing threads on this topic, and could not find any, so I hope it's OK to raise a new one.
    We're running SAP ECC 6.0 on a SQL 2005 database.  Database size is around 3.3 TB, with Trans Log of about 550GB, storage is HP EVA.
    I've been asked to report on how Database Encryption would impact our systems, both from the perspective of enabling it initially and then how it would affect performance going forward.
    I've read a few White Papers,  for example:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    .. and from what I'm reading, it looks like I would want to be moving to SQL Server 2008 as a first step.  Does anyone have any experience of implementing SQL encryption for a SAP database, either in 2K5 or 2K8?
    All comments or help will be welcomed.
    Thanks

  • Problem with "Database Gateway for SQL Server"

    Hello,
    i am testing the different technologies for connecting an oracle database with a sql-server database.
    The way using 10g-generic-connectivity with ODBC works fine, but the 11g-DG4MSQL makes problems.
    Environment:
    Server PEGASUS (32bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0
    Server OBELIXUS (32bit Windows 2000 Sp4) with MS-SQL-Server 2005
    On PEGASUS i have installed the gateway in a new oracle home directory:
    "D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1" => home directory of 10g
    "D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\" => home directory of the gateway

    At first your configuration is not really correct.
    =====================================================
    In the LISTENER.ORA from 10g, you must only refer to the database and hsodbc 10g
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = extproc)
    (SID_DESC =
    (GLOBAL_DBNAME = INTEGRAT)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (SID_NAME = INTEGRAT)
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = MSSQLTEST)
    (PROGRAM = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\hsodbc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    LISTENER =

    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1521))
    ===========================================================
    Then you have to create a new listener (new name) in the gateway oracle_home on a different port than instance database:
    D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\network\admin\listener.ora
    SID_LIST_LISTENERGTW =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC=

    (ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1)
    (PROGRAM=D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\BIN\dg4msql)
    LISTENERGTW=
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1522))
    To start it, use the command below:
    D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\bin\LSNRCTL start listenergtw
    ===========================================================
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora:
    match the DG4MSQL with the listener on 1522 port
    HSODBC match with binary10g on listener 1521 port
    MSSQLDG =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = DG4MSQL))
    (HS = OK)
    MSSQL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = MSSQLTEST))
    (HS = OK)
    Try to configure and let me know your feedback

  • Run Reporting services 2005 with databases housed on SQL Server 2012?

    Hi, I have a RS 2005 install in which the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases reside on a different SQL Server 2005 server. I am planning to upgrade DB server to 2012 and would like to keep SSRS as 2005.As a second phase I will upgrade SSRS2005
    to SSRS 2008. So I would be running something like this:
    Server A: SQL 2005 Reporting Services
    Server B: SQL 2012 database engine - housing ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
    Is this configuration supported? 

    Hello,
    According to the
    BOL, Report Server service checks the database version at startup. If the report server is connected to a database that is an earlier version, the report server will update the database during startup.If you have a newer report server database, you
    cannot use it with an earlier version of a report server instances.
    In that case, the earlier versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the SSRS report server databases. For example, In SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, we can use either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 to host the databases, for
    SSRS 2012, we can use SQL Server 2012,2008 R2,2008,2005.
    Based on my test, In the Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager, we can create a new database on a remote SQL Server 2012 database engine and the Initialization is successful.
    In this way, the databases are created from the script file which installed with the Reporting Services instance, you can find the Catalog.sql and CatalogTempDB.sql  under folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer.
    However, when upgrade the existing ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database on the SQL Server 2012 by restore from a backup, we cannot use this existing database for Reporting Services 2005 and get the following message:
    The database version (162) does not match your reporting serivces installation.And the initialization failed.
    In your case, you can host the ReportServer database and ReportServerTempDB database of SSRS 2005 on SQL Server 2012 database enginer by create a new database from Reporting Services 2005 Configure Manager. But you cannot use the existing
    database which upgrade to SQL Server 2012.

    Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts.  If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
    Is it all users, or just a handful?

  • Add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go

    I wonder if there is any method to add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go and without using transact code.
    I can add a single user to a certain database “Q” for example by right click on the user “U1” for example then properties then in user mapping tab select
    the database “Q”, so there should be a method to add multiple users ( U1,U2,U3…) to this database?

    Many thanks Visakh16,
    I can do this using the below script, but what I am searching for is do to this without any scripting.
    USE TestDatabase; --Make sure you have the right database
    DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(MAX) = '';
    SELECT @sql = @sql + 'CREATE USER ' + name + ' FOR LOGIN ' + name + ';
    ' +

    Hi,
    What is your SharePoint server’s version?
    Please make sure you use the farm admin account to launch SharePoint configuration wizard. If not, please log in with this account, then check the effect.
    In addition, check if you create a named instance, such as, servername\sharepoint, however, you only specify the servername in the configuration wizard. If this is
    the case, change to servername\sharepoint, then check the effect.

  • Migrate  oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

    Hi All,
    I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
    Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
    Platform : Aix
    Kindly help me out

    Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
    Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
    As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

  • OLTP and OLAP databases on same SQL Server?

    Would you put OLTP and OLAP databases on same SQL Server or separate?
    I realize the ideal would be separate, but that means 2 expensive licenses instead of 1.  Most of our OLTP stuff happens during the day while OLTP processing happens at night (so good use of resources) if just 1 server.  Also, the disks that hold
    the files could have different allocations (small chunks for the OLTP disks, large for the OLAP disks).  Also, by being on the same database server, the OLTP data is immediately accessible for processing into the warehouse.
    Or, is it just a cardinal rule to never mix the two worlds as server completely different purposes?
    Thanks.

    Answer given in simillar below thread would help you for sure:

    Is keeping your OLAP and OLTP databases on the same server is considered bad practice?

  • Steps to change universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10

    Hi,
    we are moving from sql server to Oracle 10.Please let me know the steps and various parameters I should consider while changing universe database connection from SQL server to Oracle 10.
    Following are the steps which I assumed :
    1.     create a new Oracle database connection or edit the existing connection to point to Oracle server
    2.     Need to check sql for each object, having integrity check for universe will solve the purpose of parsing each object
    3.     Exporting the universe after integrity check
    4.     Report data testing
    Let me know if I miss on any steps.Also what all factors I need to consider while moving to Oracle for eg: what @ custom sql,what @ table names,what @ LOV etc.
    Kindly reply

    Thanks Abhijeet and Shreyash,
    I will follow the steps you have suggested.
    Actually I was searching for this on net and got to know that with Oracle database connection,theres lot of stuff needs to take care of in terms of custom sql and LOV and in our case,we have lot of custom sql for each object in the universe so just wanted to confirm.
    I will do the changes and let you guys know in case theres any isuue specifically to Oracle.

  • Assigning database roles on SQL Server db

    I am trying to set up a SQL Server adapter (not a database table adapter for SQL tables) to manage role assignment on a database 'test1' on my sql server ( 2000) 'sqlserver1' using IdM 7.1. I am trying to assign role1 to user tuser1 on test1. I am using 'sa' account so permissions should not be an issue.
    Per resource reference document, I mapped:
    userNametest1 <-> userNametest1
    rolestest1 <-> rolestest1
    My login for user 'tuser1' gets created on the SQL server. However the database and role assignment is not happening. I do not get any errors in the IdM admin pages from where I am testing this. Hence I am assuming I am not setting something right in the resource schema. I have tried different ways such as
    userNametest1 <->userName
    rolestest1 <-> roles
    and some more combination but none seem to work. How can i find out what my resource attribute mapping should be? If anyone has done this, can you please share how you got it work?
    Thanks in advance.

    Some more info.
    I have set up the out of the box MS SQL server adapter to connect to MSDE version of SQL server running on my local machine. I used the MSSQLServer Form provided in the samples folder and assigned it to an admin user and turned on the trace.
    I am able to create logins by assigning the resource to a user. Using the admin user I am able to see in the trace that the server Roles are also being retrieved fine. What I am not able to get is assigning a database to the user and then assigning db roles.
    Following the documentation (Resource Reference guide for IdM 7.1) I have created following attributes on the left hand side of schema.
    defaultDB,serverRoles,domain, userNameMyTestDb,rolesMyTestDb.
    No matter what I map the last two attribute I am not able to assign a db and dbroles to a user. I turned on sql profiler and then again used the admin user to view a test user using MSSqlServer form and it appears that the procedure sp_databases is not being called at all. I have decompiled the sql server class file and it appears there might be an issue with the way list of databases is being retrieved.
    Has any one seen this before? If you were able to get it to work, can you please give me information on the resource schema and any other settings you had to make to get it to work?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Convert Existing MDB database files to SQL Server Express

    Hi All,
    Can some one please help me on this:
    1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
    2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
    3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
    4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
    5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
    6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
    Thanks in Advance, Pls help
    Thanks
    Tony

    Hi Tony,
    Besides Bruce’s post, firstly, SQL Server Express is a free SQL Server edition,
     you can download SQL Server 2014 Express directly from
    this link and install it on your computer. For how to install SQL Server 2014 Express, please follow the steps in this similar
    blog.
    Secondly, for more information about hardware and software requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014 Express, please review this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx .
    Thirdly, SQL Server Express has the following limitations:
    • 1 physical processor
    • 1 GB of RAM
    • 4 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server 2008 Express , 10 GB database size per database in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and higher versions of SQL Server Express.
    However, there is no limit to the numbers of databases in SQL Server Express. And there is no technical limit to the number of connection that SQL Express can handle.
    In addition, there are several methods to convert an Access database to SQL Server, such as using
    SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and
    SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access, they are both free tools. For more information about convert an Access database to SQL Server, please review this
    KB article.
