MDM DB Migration to Another server (OS may change for DB)

Hi MDM Expert
We are currently using MDM 5.6 SP06 with HA (Microsoft Cluster) Active/Passive.
DB and MDM both are running on same machine
Now we want to move our Database to another server (OS May change on target DB).Please note we just want to move DB only not MDM Server component
After DB move to another server we also wanted to have DB in HA, i mean Active/Passive and i know we need additonal to make it HA
Can you please refer us any document which will help us for accomplish this requirement?
Also let us know if there will be any negative implication on MDM Servers component after moving DB to another server
We are also using Oracle failsafe for MDM HA configuration
I really need expert help here
Thanks in advance
Thanks

Hello Augusto,
if i understood you correct only the host of the database is changed. The ABAP and JAVA instances are still running on the same host as before?
If yes then this is pretty easy ... you can shutdown and copy the database with scp/rsync .. or if you have a shared storage you can just remap the disks to the new server.
As you described, that the hostname of the DB host will change you have to do 2 things
1) Change hostname of entries in tnsnames.ora (for more information about tnsnames check sapnote #562403)
2) Change the host connection entry in the secure store of the Java instance (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/de/ec/9432d189c445cdacdc7e520981b4b6/content.htm / Database Schema password should be change or not)

Database migration to another server

I have one production oracle 10g database on RHEL4 and I want to migrate the data with another server RHEL4.
I have an RMAN backup.
Is it sufficient the 2 commands
rman> restore database;
rman> recover database;
to migrate the data in the second server?
Thanks

Why don't you duplicate the source database on the target.

Move Central Instance to Another Server

Hello expert,
Now we have a distributed system: CI on server 1, DB on server 2. Now we want to move the CI to another server 3 without change the DB server.
We get some information from link Move the central instance to another server in SAP
We have few questions:
1. Can we change the SID of CI with method provided in link?
2. Any other additional steps should we do?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning

Hi Tong,
You can install a new SAP instance (CI) on the new server as your DB is not moving and is on different host, and replicate important files from your old CI host.
For eg, the host file, services file, trans directory and some work directory contents.
Also, if your server on same OS or different ?
You should check the compatibility of new OS and DB in service market place (PAM).
For changing SID, please use standard guides and tested WIKI links.

How do we migrate the OWB mapping from one server to another server?

Here is my situation.
Source server
================
Project name : SOURCEOWB
Under this project, we have two module(MBTSOURCE, MBTTARGET).
In connection explorer, the locations are DW_MBT_SR, DW_MBT_TR.
We have 15 mappings on this project.
Source schema name is TXMBT_DW.
Target schema name is MBTTX_DW.
I want to migrate the whole thing to new server.
Here are the info about target location. After migrating to new server, i need to rename
as below.
Project name : CA_SOURCEOWB
Under this project, we have two module(CA_MBTSOURCE, CA_MBTTARGET).
In connection explorer, the locations are CA_DW_MBT_SR, CA_DW_MBT_TR.
Source schema name is CA_TXMBT_DW
Target schema name is CA_MBTTX_DW
Here are my steps i followed.
===============================
1. Created the source and target schemas in new machine.
2. Create a new workspace
3. Export the mapping with dependent objects from source server and imported in new server.
4. changed the source and target location successfully.
5. Renamed the project namd, module names as i needed successfully.
But only issue is, i am not table to change the location name.
Again, i tried the below steps.
1. uninstall the workspace and create the workspace
2. create source and target locations as i needed(CA_DW_MBT_SR,CA_DW_MBT_TR).
3. import only mapping
4. Able to register the mapping
Here i am not able to configure the module for newly created locations.
I right clicked on module and click Configure, go to Stream Administrator and not able to find
the source and target locations over there.....
How do we resolve this?
My data warehouse is runing for each state. I want to copy one state mapping and import into
another state and customize the mapping. I have hard time to change the location name. Because,
location name has state code. I can not use the same location name for all other state.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello Oleg, Thanks for your input.. It helps... but the problem is not completly solved.
let me explain my whole steps. Plesae review and let me know if i missed anything.
1. Created new workspace. the workspace is successfully created.
2. Login to new workspace.
3. Go to Locations, create source location(entered host name,username, password etc)
4. Created target location(entered host name,username, password etc), go to db connector on target location, created new db connector and linked the source location here.
5. Exported mapping and import into new workspace.(I can not use the location name in the exported workspace).
6. Renamed the project name, module name as i needed.
7. Double click the module name under Oracle and changed the meta data location and data locations.
8. Right click on soure and target module and click configure, change the the location and streams administrator.
9. Right click on mapping and go to configure, go to table operators and change the location as i need.
10.Right click on target module(under oracle), click generate. On this step, i get the below error
VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.
Java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExeception
11. Go to control center, register the source and targert and followed the step 10. I get the same error.
I am almost close to complete this task. But i got stuck in the last step.

Oracle db Migration from one server to another

Can any body guide me why companies migrate Oracle db from one server to another , & what is the process for doing that?

In that case, something has changed, right? The need to have a standby server has become important.
Next steps:
- define the real business requirements (why do we think we want to spend money on a spare server? why should the money go to a hardware company, instead of an increase in my salary? what benefit are they looking for?)
- see whether any known ideas or alternatives fit the requirements, see whether the backup should be a standby server, a hot failover server, or some other backup mode;
- go to the Oracle Technet site, look under the Product Centers: Database area to see whether there are any related topics (such as 'availability', as one of the logical reasons for a backup is to make the application more avaliable); check in that area for any white papers; read the white papers to formulate an idea, write down interesting keywords;
- look in the Oracle docuentation, list of books, to see whether there are any books specifically dealing with that topic (such as Oracle Data Guard);
- use Google to search for the combination of 'Oracle backup' and the interesting keyword and study several of the sites;
- form a basic plan;
- go to expert and trusted sources (these forums, OraFaq.com), post a plan and ask for feedback.
There are literally dozens of alternatives. Research and find the one(s) that are right for your situation. That includes the technical as well as the financial reasons.
More than anything, that means you need to learn to ask the right question. And that often means asking the same question several different ways, and attempting to answer each variation yourself to see how the answer solves your specific needs.

Repository migration from one server to another

Hi All,
We have Hyperion components (EPMA, Planning, EAS, HFR, Shared services) and SQL server on same server. Now we are planning to migrate SQL to another server.
Below are some questions i have:
1.Do we need to reconfigure components individually?
2.what difference it makes selecting the option "Drop and recreate tables" / "Reuse the existing database".
and for what db's do we need to select the option "Drop and recreate tables" / "Reuse the existing database" ?
3.How can we update/reconfigure EPMA Planning application Databases to new server?
Thanks,
Nainitha.

Hello,
1.Do we need to reconfigure components individually?I think this depends on the way you have configured your existing environment. If you have used separate database for different components you will have to reconfigure it again and select the option *"Perform First time configuration"* so that you can update the connection information and then select *"Reuse the existing database"*.
2.what difference it makes selecting the option "Drop and recreate tables" / "Reuse the existing database".Well if you choose *"Drop and recreate tables"* it would drop all the tables that are present and it would be as good as a fresh installation. If you have any planning applications in your existing environment it would not be available when you perform reconfiguration and select this option. Moreover you would not be able to view the Data forms etc that you might be using currently.
for what db's do we need to select the option "Drop and recreate tables" / "Reuse the existing database" ?I think you need to select *"Reuse the existing Database"* for all the components since you are moving database to another machine, so that it updates only the relevant information.
3.How can we update/reconfigure EPMA Planning application Databases to new server?Copy all the database that is used as a data source to the new machine. Once you have successfully configured the components, you would be able to view the datasource in workspace. Update the connection information there.
Thanks.

Hardware Migration from one server to another server

Hi All,
We require more information pertaining to hardware migration from one server to another server without changing OS & DB.
We are preparing installation guideline document for the same.
Has anybody came across similar scenario?.
Any pointers on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Tushar Vhora

usually you don't have to care too much about the tools used (r3ldctl = R3load control | r3szchk = R3 size checker | r3load = R3 Load), because you normally use r3setup/sapinst to fulfill the copy/migration. r3setup/sapinst will call the appropriate tools with the needed options...
-> which release are we talking about?
-> which os and which database do you use?
-> how big is your source database?
-> do you have any time issues while making the copy?

Server Admin may overwrite files from another server!

Not 100% sure how this happened, but I found that the users could no longer log onto one of the mail servers. The mail client return a partition error. After some quick investigation I found something that I could just not believe.
The files main.cf and imapd.conf were wrong....they were the files of another server of mine. I just could not understand how that was possible. I made manual changes to both files to correct them and all was working again. The only way this could have happened was for Server Admin (I had both servers open) to have done it. Has anyone else seen that problem, I do hope not.
Any idea what other files that Server Admin may update? Whilst I think all is OK now, it is hard to way 100%.
Tim

Alex,
Did some more checking this morning when the pressure was less and can confirm that all the files that the mail section of Server Admin edits were changed to match the setting of the other server that it also has a connection to. Only hope the problem was 'cos I had both servers open at the same time and not the general used of the Admin app. Only really use it on mail now for looking at logs. Will make this as closed, but post something in the admin forum to warn others.

Mailbox migration from one server (country 1) to another server (country 2 ) ( exchange 2007)

Hi,
My exchange servers are hosted with my hosting service provider at London, i have 1000 users and each are having 3 Gig mail box size (exchange 2007) and this exchange server is part of our company network which is extended to hosting service provider. I
need to setup new exchange 2007 as part of existing exchange organisation and migrate the users from London to Singapore.
The bandwidth between our company and hosting facility 20 MB.
What is the best method to move the mailboxes from loon service provide to our company ?
I cannot do complete 3 gig mailbox migration from source to destination due to wan bandwidth limitation and time.
I can do only move the mails to local pst then migrate the mailboxes to new server and import the pst mails to exchange mailbox.
Is there any other method available ? backup and restoration ?
Please help me to provide best method for mailbox migration.

For migrating exchange mailboxes from one server to another server (across the country), the suitable approach will be to export mailboxes into pst files.
This job can be simplified even more, take the offline copy of edb file to the destination system (at Singapore) then export all mailboxes (of all sizes) from offline file to separate PST files. Then run PowerShell scripts to import the PSTs. For extracting
mailboxes from offline edb file use a stable edb converter solution that extracts mailboxes (even very large sized) & create new pst file for each of equivalent size.

How to migrate BPM 11g server to another BPM 11g server

Hi All,
There is no change on BPM version (BPMN Editor 11.1.1.3.0.6.84 )
just simply a physical migrate, changed application server, DB and server domain/IP
Now we met questions when migrate DB date, there are four schemas DEV_MDS、DEV_SOAINFRA、DEV_ORABAM、DEV_ORASDPM, cannot used including install config settings, could not be used any more, could not be started.
Is there any guide of how to migrate just user data please?
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Katherine

Migration of environment should really be done through backup tools that ensure a consistent point-in-time view of the data. We recently had a need to use import/export for an environment. I'll post those notes here hopefully save some time if you have to use this approach. But I'll emphasize again that a backup/restore model is the better way to go.
What we did
We took an environment that had a small set of BPM processes and exported the data from the three core schemas.
•     PS2_MDS
•     PS2_SOAINFRA
•     PS2_ORASDPM
We then loaded that data into another domain, started the server, and interacted with the composites that had originally been deployed in another domain.
What we didn’t do
•     Export complex composites. We didn’t have access to things like AIA applications
•     Export large amounts of data
•     Test a broad set of features. We did use Workspace to create roles, view dashboard, and interact with task lists.
What we learned
We believe this confirmed the basic assumption that data can be exported from one BPM/SOA environment, then loaded and run in another environment. However the issues around user privileges, starting queues, etc, highlight the need to test the process in a broader context.
Tools Used
Data Pump
Data Pump is an import/export tool provided by Oracle. A summary of features can be found at:
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Data+Pump+Export+%28expdp%29+and+Data+Pump+Import%28impdp%29
SQL*Plus
Used to run scripts
Setup
Create Users
The data pump export will include privilege information in the export. And the data pump import will create users in the target database (assuming sufficient privileges for the user running the import). However we found that some roles related to AQ were not granted during the import. To resolve that issue we created scripts to pre-create the schema users and grant required privileges in the target environment.
TODO:
1.     Review the required privileges to see if there are data pump options that would resolve this
2.     Verify that there are no additional privileges needed by applications in the target integration environment.
Create Output Directory
Data Pump needs to have access to the file system from the database.
Make sure that the output directory is writable by the DB process.
From SQL*Plus:
create directory dbexport as '/scratch/ dbexport';
grant read,write on directory dbexport to system;
Export Data For Selected Schemas
The Data Pump tool supports providing a list of schemas to export as part of a single operation. In this test case we exported the following core BPM schemas to a single file. The commands are in the do_exp.sh script.
•     PS2_MDS
•     PS2_SOAINFRA
•     PS2_ORASDPM
TODO:
1.     Verify space required for the target database to ensure that there is sufficient space to export the data.
Import Data into Target Schemas
Data Pump supports mapping schema names and table spaces as part of the import specification. In this case we used the same Oracle instance, so the schemas were mapped to new names. The PS2 prefix was mapped to XYZ.
Note that the OID transform property is required to avoid conflicts with existing object Identifiers.
impdp system/welcome1 DIRECTORY=dbexport DUMPFILE=bpm.dmp transform=oid:n \
REMAP_TABLESPACE=PS2_MDS:XYZ_MDS \
REMAP_TABLESPACE=PS2_SOAINFRA:XYZ_SOAINFRA \
REMAP_TABLESPACE=PS2_IAS_ORASDPM:XYZ_IAS_ORASDPM \
REMAP_SCHEMA=PS2_MDS:XYZ_MDS \
REMAP_SCHEMA=PS2_SOAINFRA:XYZ_SOAINFRA \
REMAP_SCHEMA=PS2_ORASDPM:XYZ_ORASDPM \
TODO:
1.     Check the log for errors. The only errors we saw were related to trying to build stats on empty indexes.
2.     Identify any other schemas being used
3.     Verify if any other transform operators are needed
Post Import
Start Queues
SOA infrastructure makes use of queues in the DB server. While the queue structures were created, they were not started as part of the import. The start_queues.sql script starts the queues.
TODO:
1.     Verify if there are any other queues that need to be started/configured
2.     Verify if there are any other Stream/Queuing configuration tasks needed
Update Data Sources on WLS
Assuming an existing installation of SOA, the datasources need to be updated to use the new schemas.
Start Domain and Verify Logs
It’s important to check the admin and managed server logs for errors related to composite instances and MDS operations.
Verify Composite State
Log into EM and ensure that the state of instances is consistent with the prior state.
Verify Application Roles and Role Mappings
Since the composites are loaded from MDS, there will be no deployment to create application roles. If the environment is using LDAP or DB, then the validation is to check the mappings through Workspace. If the old environment used a file store, then you’d have to crate the role mappings through Workspace.
Verify Workspace Operations on Existing Instances
Verify that task list operations and dashboards are functional.

Could not start SDM Server - another Server may be running already

Hi
I have some problems with SDM after upgrade to SP16.
Right now i can't neither start it, nor change password..
it has an error but i don't understand it, because i have only one instance and the server is stopped.
I'm enclosing the error, please, if you have some ideas let me know.
Thank you.
Oct 10, 2006 12:34:29... Error: ERROR: Could not start SDM Server - another Server may be running already.
Oct 10, 2006 12:34:29... Error: Another SDM is running already for this SDM_HOME directory. Exiting. Throwable: com.sap.sdm.client_server.launch.SDMRunningException Throwable message: Another SDM instance is running on this host
Oct 10, 2006 12:34:29... Error: Could not start SDM. Processing error. Return code: 4

A lot of thanks of your answer (both of you)..
None of the prerequisits of the note exists on my system.
"1)There is a started SDM server on the system. All SDM commands have to be executed when there is no started SDM server. Or SDM port is busy by another application."
Server is on red color. I had reseted all tha instance, nobody use it, any applications.
"2)2. The executed command can be run only if SDM is in standalone mode."
Yes, i ran before the next command: Execute :
sdm jstartup "mode=standalone" "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program"
"3. SDM port is busy by another application."
the port is only used for sdm wich is off...
Anyway, in order to get the solution, i started with the steps described on the note, but i had a problem with the StopServer.bat
3.Run
StopServer.bat (for Windows)
When i run it, i got another message (i though a similar one):
"Sending shutdown on port 50018
Shutdown failed: SDM currently runs in monolithic mode. Logons cannot be accepted.
Could not shutdown server.
Details: Shutdown failed: SDM currently runs in monolithic mode. Logons cannot be accepted.
Processing error. Return code:4"
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Locale Error while migrating from One Server to another Server in Essbase

Hi Gurus,
Actually we are trying to migrate the Essbase Native users/groups from Windows 2003 Server to 2008.In windows 2003 the Version is 11.1.1 and in 2008 its 11.1.2.While Migrating i faced he below error.I was using the Migration Wizard to migrate.
Start of Application Migration.
[D4W0218G.americas.hpqcorp.net:1423.Fiji] MigrateApplication February 15, 2013 10:30:04 AM SGT Failed
Error: Source and target servers should be of same locale for migration. [Source Locale: English_UnitedStates.MS1252@Binary, Target Locale: English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary]
End of Application Migration.
I even tried to change the target local to source local name in Environment Variables -->ESSLANG=English_UnitedStates.MS1252@Binary but of no use.
Can anyone please suggest me how to rectify this error.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi,
Review the section beginning at page 663 on unicode applications from the Essbase Database Admin Guide. On windows this is the ESSLANG environment variable on unix there is a file that you must modify.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag.pdf
I do suggest you read the whole section I referenced above. You would not be changing the source server. It is whatever format it is. You need to change in windows 2008.
Mark if this helps you.

Kishore Rout

Problems after print server migration to Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
New forum member, first time poster. I am at my wits end and have concussion from banging my head on the desk for several days running. Hopefully someone here may be able to help.
Environment
I have recently moved our printing environment from a Windows Server 2003 machine to a new Server 2008 R2 machine in prep for rolling out Windows 7 x64 clients. We have 30-40 printers, majority of which are HP's (M2727's, P4015dn's, CM3530's, P2035's & a CM8060).
My procedure for setting up the printers on the new server involved manually creating each printer and using up-to-date drivers, we wanted to start fresh. The HP's are all using the HP Universal PCL 5 or PCL 6 (61.115.1.10527) x86 & x64 driver. We use Desktop Authority on logon to install the required printers for each client.
Problems
Since everyone is now running through the 2008 R2 server we have had a bunch of intermittent problems pop up all over the place, mostly with our HP printers. When using the PCL6 driver some applications print a page or 10 of garbled gibberish (wingdings etc), so most printers are now using the PCL5 driver. Other applications print the error "PCL XL error" when using PCL6. Sometimes reinstalling the printer on the client machine will resolve these errors, however they tend to resurface.
When we use the PCL5 driver our M2727's intermittently report "Out Of Memory" on the printer display (they are stock with 64M RAM each) - upgrading the RAM may fix this but we never had this problem before on the 2003 server. This problem is not specific to the size of the printed document - it could be a 20 page report or a 2 page excel document. Resetting the printer will generally clear this issue temporarily. This is currently our most annoying/biggest issue.
Some people are having issues printing to a FujiXerox 340A-AP printer - in particular 1 person is able to print fine, where as another prints and the print margin appears to be far too small. After confirming all print margins on the server then reinstalling the printer on the client machine, the problem still persists. We have two FujiXerox printers, the second one is working as intended for 8-10 users with the exact same settings.
Attempted Fixes
These are some of the attempted fixes that I have tried:
Turning it off and on
Upgrading the firmware on the M2727's to resolve garbled printing & out of memory
Upgrading the firmware on the CM3530's to resolve garbled printing
Reinstalling all HP Universal PCL5/PCL6 x86 & x64 drivers on the print server
Ensuring that the 2008 R2 server is 100% up-to-date with MS patches
Backing up all printers on print server, removing the print server role, deleting all printers & drivers, rebooting, reinstalling the print server role and restoring all printers from backup
Upgraded Desktop Authority to the latest version - as this application is in charge of installing the printers on logon
As you can see we are having a lot of problems and nothing seems to make any sense. None of this happened before Windows Server 2008 R2 was brought in to the equation.
If anyone is able to provide any assistance that would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Hartz.

Connection Failed: The server "name" may not exist or it is unavailable...

So I think I know what caused this problem, but I can't figure out how to make it stop...
When I go to print, if I try to click on the pop-up to change the default printer setting, there's a LONG delay, then I get a dialog that says:
Connection Failed
The server "name" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, then try again.
Then there's another delay and I get the message a second time. I can then select any of my printer settings and print fine, it's just an annoying delay if I click on that pop-up accidentally or need to change it.
I have a new iMac and I migrated from my old G5. The "name" of the server it is seeking is my old G5, so that must be in the settings somewhere, but I can't find it. I tried going into the Print & Fax settings in System Preferences, deleting the printer there, and then re-adding, but that didn't clear it up.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Hmm, well, this stopped working again for me. I tried swapping ethernet and re-installing the Airport client update - to no avail. I could always see my Mac shares from PCs though. However, I have (for now) managed to connect to the PC using ip address rather than name even though finder quite clearly sees the name. Does your printer connection work by ip rather than name ? I'm going to play name lookup detective for a bit now - it's some kind of Netbios name lookup issue I guess as I've no local DNS service. resolv.conf is apparently not used so a bit of learning to do! ...
... nmblookup seems to work but nslookup doesn't. Looks like SL connect via Finder isn't using nmblookup properly and I can't see how to make that work. When this gets reported enough it should get a publicised work-round or a fix. If only I can get dig/nslookup to slave out to nmblookup ...must be something I can configure for that ??

Migrating database from server (OS: IBM AIX 5.1 Oracle: 9.2.0.4) to server

Dear All,
In order to migrate one database from server (OS: IBM AIX 5.1 Oracle: 9.2.0.4) to another server (OS: IBM AIX 5.3 Oracle: 9.2.0.6)
I am performing the cold backup and taking the below files backup.
Datafiles
Redologfiles
Archive log file
Backup of control file from trace
I just wanted to know
a) Is there any other files do I need to take backup which may be required to bring the database up on another server?
b) Upper version of OS and oracle can create any issue or do I need to perform any extra activities?
I know after restoration the above files to the destination server, what procedure I would require to follow.
I have doubt with version of OS and oracle.
Request your advice on this.
Regards,

I dont think higher version especially 5.1-5.3 will make any difference but oracle 9.2.0.4 will definitely will have an issue. If i am not wrong you need to startup the database with startup MIGRATE option after moving all the files to the new server
May be password file (missed out, but you can always create one)
Init.ora file
make note on Entries in ORATAB
