EHP2 - EHP7 Upgrade Path using SQL Server 2012/Win Server 2012 R2

Hi Guys.
I have question regarging Upgrade Roadmap for a ERP 6 EHP2 system based on NW 7.01 which I would like to Upgrade to ERP6 EHP7 SP7
Source System is
Windows 2012
SQL Server 2008 R2
EHP2 for ERP 6.0 SPS Level 14
Target System
Windows 2012
SQL Server 2012
EHP7 for ERP 6.0 SP 7 based on NW 7.4 SP 9
During Upgrade checks it says I must Upgrade Database first before continue since DB Release is too low for NW 7.4 SP9 as stated in Note
1951491 - Minimal DB system platform requirements for SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SP08
So, at this point I agree i have to update SQL Server to 2012 before next step
Now, my concern is that my Source System does not have the minimum NW SP level (14) to run under SQL Server 2012 which is 26.
Im currently running SAP Kernel 721 EXT Level 401 which is above mininum
According to Note 1651862 - Release planning for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 that would not be possible
Existing systems of SAP products that are out of SAP maintenance can be upgraded to SQL Server 2012 in order to prepare a SAP upgrade, if they match the SAP NetWeaver Support Package requirements defined below.
SAP products prior to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 are not supported at all on SQL Server 2012.
Required minimum SAP Netweaver Support Package Stacks (SPSs) for SQL Server 2012 (SAP ABAP, SAP ABAP+JAVA stacks)
SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 26 (SAP BASIS 26, SAP BW 28)
SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 11 (SAP BASIS 11, SAP BW 11)
SAP EHP2 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 11 (SAP BASIS 11, SAP BW 11)
SAP EHP3 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 03 (SAP BASIS 03, SAP BW 03)
SAP NETWEAVER 7.1 - SPS 14 (SAP BASIS SP14)
SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.1 EhP1 - SPS 10(SAP BASIS SP10, SAP BW SP10)
SAP NetWeaver 7.2 - no restriction
SAP NETWEAVER 7.3 - SPS 07 (SAP BASIS 07, SAP BW 07)
SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.3 - SPS 03 (SAP BASIS 03, SAP BW 03)
If your system is running on a SPS lower than the one required above, you have to apply the minimum required SPS before upgrading/migrating to SQL Server 2012.
If you install a NetWeaver product on SQL Server 2012, the required SPS for your product must be applied immediately after the installation - see SAP note 1676665, section I for more information.
But performing the Upgrade would be technically possible? I mean not for productive use but technicaly during that time the Database is Upgrade and during SUM Execution.
According to the note it states if you install a Netweaver Product in SQL Server 2012, SPS must be applied immediately, so is kinda ambigous what SAP is saying.

Hi Martin,
For a test scenario, there's no harm in trying it (other than spending a lot of time on it, but hopefully that will prove not to be a waste). Generally, I expect you'll be fine upgrading your DBMS even though you aren't on the required minimum SP yet. The main thing you'll be missing out on is the updates to DBACOCKPIT, but once you do your EhP upgrade (with sps update included), you'll be putting that in place.
So, you could try this on your sandbox system and see if there are any problems. I assume the intent is to start the EhP upgrade as soon as the DBMS upgrade is done, right? In other words, you won't be actually using the system without the required SP except to run the EhP upgrade?
Alternatively, you could do a minimal support pack update, perhaps just a Basis SP only, to the minimum SP needed for your current release, then do the DBMS upgrade, then proceed with the EhP upgrade. This would be the safest procedure, but, as I said, I expect you can probably get away without going to this level without much problem. Again, the idea would be minimizing the time between the start and end of the total project on each system (DEV, QAS, PRD, etc).
Regards,
Matt

Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?

Hi All,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

Hi All,
Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva
As Per BOL
We strongly recommend that the witness reside on a separate computer from the partners. Database mirroring partners are supported only by SQL Server 2005 Standard and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and later versions.
Witnesses, in contrast, are also supported by SQL Server 2005 Workgroup and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and later versions. Except during an upgrade from an earlier version of SQL Server, the server instances in a
mirroring session must all be running the same version of SQL Server. For example, a SQL Server 2005 witness is supported when you are upgrading from a SQL Server 2005 mirroring configuration but cannot be added to an existing or new SQL Server 2008 or later
mirroring configuration.
A witness can run on any reliable computer system that supports any of these editions of SQL Server. However, we recommend that every server instance that is used as a witness correspond to the minimum configuration that is required for the SQL Server Standard
version that you are running. For more information about these requirements

Using SQL Server 2012 SSIS to Extract Data From SAP

Hi
What is the current best practice for using SQL Server 2012 SSIS to extract data from SAP R3? Please note we are looking for a solution that does not use SAP BW or SAP OHS.
Ideally we would like to build our ETL SSIS process to make a .NET call to an SAP RFC procedure and avoid using web services.
With SS2012 can we use any of these without using SAP BW:
- SAP .NET Connector
- MS ADO .NET
- BizTalk .NET 3.0 Adapter
Thanks and take care,
Shayne

Hi Shayne,
You can use the .NET Framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite along with SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) to import data from an SAP system into SQL Server database tables, flat files, or other compatible destination types. You can create an SSIS
package that can be executed to import data from an SAP system.
You must use the SQL Server Import and Export wizard to import data into the SQL Server database. You must provide a select query to specify data to be imported. The query must confirm to the semantics supported by the Data Provider for SAP. You can start the
SQL Server Import Export Wizard either from the SQL Server Management Studio or from an Integration Service project in Visual Studio. Detail steps please see:

Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

Hello,
I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following exception:
'login failed for user sa'.
Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

Hi moncadad,
When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

Running multiple SSIS packages using SQL Server Agent question.

I have a multitude of SSIS packages I want to run using SQL Server Agent. What would the best practice be for running these jobs using SQL Server Agent? One job per package or running all pakages from one job? If you have an answer can
you explain the technical reasoning behind your answer? Thanks in advance.
Stan Benner

Hi, maybe a bit more analysis will give a better answer
Do all the packages have to run in sequence? (if yes, single job better)
Can the list of packages to be executed be grouped by dependency (ex package 1,2 and 5 must run in sequence and can be executed by one job, while package 3,4 are not dependent on package 1,2 and 5 can be run by a separate job).
Can any jobs be run in parallel?
How often will the package execution sequence change?
How will you deploy your packages and job? (the more jobs to create the more install script needed and upgrade scenarios become messy).
My personal preference:
I create ONE ssis package which is executed by ONE sql agent job. lets call this 'PackageExecutionWrapper.dtsx'
PackageExectionWrapper then contains multiple 'Execute Package' tasks for the packages you want to execute.
In the package you can apply any package execution rules - which packages have to run after the other, which packages can run concurrently, which packages should only run if previous succeeded.
If you need to change the sequence, simple, just update the PackageExecutionWrapper package.

SP 2013 - Database Recovery Mode When Using SQL Server Mirroring

Hello Community,
Our DBA is configuring a High Availability Architecture for our SharePoint 2013 Farm. Essentially he is using SQL Server Database mirroring with a clustered automatic failover using a witness server. He has informed me that mirroring requires
that the databases are set to Full Recovery Mode, but that several of the databases are set to Simple Recovery Mode, the databases are the following:
SearchService_DB
SearchService_DB_CrawlStore
SearchService_DB_AnalyticsReportingStore
SearchService_DB_LinksStore
WSS_UsageApplication
User_Profile_DB
User_Sync_DB
User_Social_DB
However, when I checked the following article -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678868.aspx - I see that Simple Recovery Mode is the default configuration for these databases. So, finally, here is my question - will it be detrimental to these databases to set them to the Full Recovery
Mode?
Thanks!

This really depends on your recovery objectives. The main reason for taking log backups, aside from truncating the log, is to be able to recover to a specific point-in-time. This is very helpful in mission-critical, highly transactional systems. I have not
seen a SharePoint environment require a point-in-time restore of the content or application service database. So for this case, you can overwrite the LDF bakups. Just make sure that you can recover your databases appropriately and meet your recovery objectives
on the farm level.
As far as the log file growth is concerned, you are correct. If you cap the size of your LDF file to let's say 10 GB, regular log backups will truncate the log, thereby, having space for additional transaction log records. The only risk here is when your
log backups are not frequent enough that the LDF file fills up before the next log backup runs to truncate the log. You run the risk of your database behaving as read-only and that will affect the site collections/applications using those databases

Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.
What is the standard upgrade path from VMWare Server?
Mike

Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

Import multiple files using sql server management studio

Using sql server management studio I want to do 2 things.
- Import all txt files from a directory as tables into my DB.
- Add an additional field to each new table which contains the table name.
Can anyone help me?

There are couple of ways to do it:
File naming conventions : YourFileName_SystemId.txt
You can create one extra column in table or may be name a table with system id. Then after loading the data you can update that column with the system id.
components required:
ForEachLoopContainer - To get file and store file name in a variable
Expression Task (if SSIS 2012 or above) or variable expression or script task to seperate file name from systemId
Data Flow Task - to load data
Execute SQL Task - to update last column or specific table based on precedence constraints
Note: You can also add extra column in data flow via
derived column transformation.
Ex.:
Load file via foreach loop
Split string via seprator
2: Loading different system file in different folder
you can have predefined folder structure ex: SystemId1, SyetemId2 etc and can download respective txt file in their system folder. Then you can easily identity which file belong to which system and then load it to the respective table.
3: Use first row of text file to hold the system value
Use first row to have the system id and then skip row while fetching data.
Note: Then you have to read first row through script task to get the system id.
hope this will help

FWIW, my own (ugh) install of 11.1.1.3 32 bit on my laptop (oh, soon I am going to jettison this thing and move to a 32 gig laptop) I am using SQL Server 2005. A client from last year used the same release of SS but I think the 64 bit release. John Booth's EPM AMI uses SQL Server Express 2008. IOW, yeah, you can totally use SQL Server with the EPM suite. I think that there is an exception for ERPi, but I could be wrong about that. For sure I used ODI 11.1.1.5 with SQL Server as I (gasp) set that up myself out on the cloud.

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.
