SAP R/3 on Oracle 9i : check online backup

Hi there,
I would like to integrate a check on the status of the online database backup (which runs on a daily basis) into a central monitoring system.
On way to do it is to check on OS level for the latest backup log file and read the status at the end of this file.
I wonder if it's also possible to check the backup status by doing a select on database table(s) and if so which table(s) should I query ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Erik

Hi,
You can implement CCMS alert configuration in your system to check the status of daily backup. For that use tcode RZ20->Monitoring>Oracle>Backup/restore>Backup status>Last succ. complete database backup or Last brbackup run
YOu also need to create a monitoring method in RZ21.
Please refer SAP Note 0176492 for details
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
Sushil

SAP Note 23345 for Oracle Consistency Check

Dear All,
I would like to run a Consistency check using backup type = online option via DB VERIFY but unfortunately each time I run the backup online using the below commands I am getting permission error.I have run the commands below using ORA<SIDADM>
brbackup -u / -m all -w only_rmv -e <parallel degree> -c
brbackup -u / -m all only_dbv -c -t online -e 3
brbackup -u / -m all -w only_dbv -e 3 -c
brbackup -u / -c force -w only_dbv -t online -p init<sidadm>.sap -m ALL -e 3
brbackup -u / -c force -w only_dbv -p init<sidadm>.sap -m ALL
I hope someone could provide what is the best command to use in order to execute the Consistency check in Online mode as I am planning to schedule it on weekly basis with the Online option..
Thank you.

John

Oracle Restore from Online backup without any archive logs

Hi,
May be a dumb question. If I have a good online backup (say it took 2 hours to do that. And there is database activity while backup is going on), and lost all the archive logs happened after the online backup, is it possible at all to do the restore using that backup? complete or incomplete? and bring back the database to normal operation mode? Some details on this.
Thanks.

Let us see the reasoning behind this.
Database:WORLDDB
WORLDDB configuration:-
TBSP_WDB
->TBSP_WDB_01.dbf
->TBSP_WDB_02.dbf
SYSTEM
->SYSTEM.dbf
USERS
and so on for the tablespaces.
CASE 1:-
User managed backup.
You issue
ALTER TABLESPACE TBSP_WDB BEGIN BACKUP;
DB keeps working all transactions are recorded in the redo stream, the scn information is not updated in the file header.
Also note that the other tablespaces were been continuously worked on hence their scn numbers are a moving target.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96572/osbackups.htm#10012
So if you begin tablespace TBSP_WDB backup at time t1 and by the time you are done with your backups you are at time t2, you will need all of the archive log's between time t1 and t2.
CASE 2:-
If we do with rman, rman takes care of the file header update information and goes on its merry way, those details are hidden from the end user. If one of the tablespace is fractured, updated while backups are going on , rman knows about it and will re-read the affected blocks in question.
My thinking would be that you might need archive logs, unless it is a cold backup, with switch logfiles in between.
If you do hot backups you need archivelogs is my thought. The number of archivelogs required will be decreased considerably through rman.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmconc1.htm#458821
Summary:-
Either way archivelogs are needed.

Restore Procedure - online backup

Dear all,
Our BI QA system got crashed and hence we need to restore the SAP on
the same machine , we have online backup.
Can any advise on the restore & recovery methods with the online backup.
Kindly provide Restore Steps .
Kindly suggest
Thanks & Regards,

1: stop the database and SAP services running under <sidadm> and <orasid> users.
2: Empty your sapdatas
     u2022 cd /oracle/<SID>
     u2022 rm u2013r sapdata*
3: Delete control files from all of its three locations (whereever presents)
     u2022 cd /oracle/<SID>/cntrl
     u2022 rm *.dbf
4: confirm the name and presence of online backup logfile ( *.anf ) in sapbackup dir.
   and same for arch<SID>.log in saparch dir.
5: Start restore on targetsystem in the foreground with:
     u2022     su u2013 ora<sid>
     u2022     for normal restore: brrestore -r init<source sid>.utl -b <backupfile> -m full u2013c
   or Start restore in the background with:
     u2022     as root
     u2022     at now
          su u2013 ora<sid> -c u201Cbrrestore -r init<source sid>.utl -b <backupfile>-m full u2013c forceu201D
          ^D
6: Once restore finishes, do not open the database. Start the database in mount state and apply the redologs till the
time you want the recovery of database or else
you must recover the database till the end time of databse backup as you have online backup only with you.
==> for end time of backup, check the *.anf file.
before starting recovery, make sure archive logs are available with you.
Syntax
sqlplus> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
or
sqlplus> recover database until time '2010-03-02:10:00:00' using backup controlfile;
First check if we can stop and start the system without problems.
Sqlplus> shutdown immediate
Sqlplus> startup
Also check the alert_SID.log for any errors.
7: once database recovery finishes, you may open the database and start SAP applications.
Cheers !!!

Change filelocation whilst migrating system using online backup (hom. systemcopy)

Hi all,
Situation:
I'm migrating (homogeneous systemcopy) a couple of systems running on windows / oracle to windows / oracle using an online backup created on the source system ((brbackup –c –p initSID.sap –u system/***** -t online) . This backup will be shipped to the target system. I also want to keep and apply the redologs from after this backup to the new target system.
I need to change driveletters:
old      SAPDATA_HOME                   T:
new                                                     X:
old     ORACLE_HOME                      E:
new                                                    G:
old     oraarch                                    P:
new                                                    Y:
Question: Is this possible? What would be my aproach (using swpm).
Many thanks!
Marcel

Hello Marcel,
Note that when you run the target system installation, you will be running a fresh installation, but the only difference will be you will restore the database during the target system installation.
Therefore, you just need to set all new drive letters when SWPM request for them.

Hi Fidel,
Sorry for this. The soution of this error givne by all but due to hidden file that is taken time to resolved this issue.
Solution:
I have checked hidden file in specific path with command
#ls -li .lock.brb
I found this file
First i rename this file with this command
rm .lock.brb .lock.brb.old
after that i go in sm13 and schedule online backup with immediately option. I checked the status of backup the backup was satarted.
Thanks for all of you to provide prompt solution. Really i am sorry solution not mentioned in the blogs.
All are elegable for reward points.

SAP Bundle Patches and Automatic Oracle parameter check script (note117165)

After reading SAP note 1027012 on SAP Bundle Patches and SAP note 1171650 on the
automatic Oracle parameter check script I have a simple question:
Is it still necessary to manually check whether some patch is installed in order to determine
exactly which event and fixcontrol to set?
Or is the automatic Oracle parameter check script so sophisticated that it is fully
sufficient to implement its recommendations, and you don't neet to manually
check any more which SBP with which bugfixes has been installed?
It would be great if SAP could confirm that the automatic parameter check is sufficient,
but so far I haven't seen this statement explicitly. I believe this is mostly because it
is so difficult (impossible?) to determine via SQL which patches have been applied.

Mark

Yes and No.
until now, fixcontrol are dependent of CBO patches and those are "register" on the view v$system_fix_control. They can be "check" autmatically, so you get the "proper" recommendation for those.
the parameter event depends on different situations, like some patches. But those patches are "normal" patches and it is not possible to check if they are installed from inside the DB with a simple script. For those, the check script will tell you to do it manually and will tell you which patch has to be check
In addition, there are other parameters that have to be check "manually", like processes (where you get a "semiautomatic" check) or db_cache_size, where you should check if the size

The automatic parameter check is sufficient, meaning that you get all information, including the parameters that you have to check manually and some information for that check. Currently, it is not possible to automatize it 100%

Oracle online backup failed

Dear all,
I am scheduling a online backup for ECC 6.0 , oracle 10.2 to target NAS device. I have mentioned the error log.
BR0252E Function _mkdir() failed for '
<IPaddress>\backup\bebfoyky' at location BrDirCreate-1
BR0253E errno 13: Permission denied
I have created sapservice<sid> user in the NAS device. Anything i need to check more. Could anyone have any idea... please help me.
Thanks
Raj

Dear Juan,
Yes , both the users belongs to administrator group.
@ Rishi - The Ip address which i have mentioned in my earlier mess is the IP address of the network device.
It was working fine with another device, after changing it to the new target device i am facing this issue.
I have changed the target network path of the NAS in the init<sid>.sap, also i have restarted the instance as well.
Do i need to reboot the entire server to make the changes effect ?
Kindly suggest me.

Insert /delete data from SAP Z table to Oracle table and opposite

Hi,
Can u help me write this FM from the SAP side?
So, I have two tables ZTABLE in SAP and Oracle table ORAC.
Let's put three columns in each of them, for example
TEL1
TEL2
ADRESS
NAME
where TEL field is primary from ZTABLE to ORAC...
(in FM there shoud be abap code for writing data in ZTABLE after we press some pushbutton made in sap screen painter..)
for example, when we write new record in ZTABLE
00
112233
Street 4
Name1
this data shoud be inserted in Oracle table ORAC.
when we write new record in Oracle table for example
01
445566
New Street
Name2
this data shoud be inserted in ZTABLE.
Field TEL1 can be only of two values 01 or 02, other combination is not valid...
I must have all data from Oracle table ORAC in ZTABLE and opposite.
It should be the same scenario for DELETE...
And this communication should be online between sap and table in oracle database...
Can u help me from sap side? and give idea how to configure on oracle side??
Thanks a lot,
Nihad

I dont know if we can directly connect to a oracle database ( wait for the answers from others on this )
but in XI we have the JDBC adaptor to insert and retrieve data.
so for the outbound from SAP the flow can be something like this (with XI in landscape):
1) You have a screen to maintain a new entry / delete an entry
2) On save , this record gets saved or deleted from the Ztable in SAP
3)) In the same screen you can call a proxy class-method (generated using SPROXY transaction ) to send the record to XI.
4) XI to format it and insert into the oracle table

How can I capture and re-present Oracle contraint/check/DML errors?

Hi,
New to APEX, I have a Designer/Web-PLSQL background.
In Designer I can define the messages that I want the user to see when check, constraint, etc. errors are generated by the application interaction with the database server (done through table API and the integration of the Designer generated screens).
In APEX, these types of errors all seem to show the default 'ORA' style message on an error page. How can I change these to 'human-readable' messages?
I'm obviously missing the trick that changes an ORA-0001 message referring to CUST_CODE_UK to something like 'This Code has already been assigned to another customer'? I want to use standard functionality, not really keen on creating my own DML packages for every table that needs to be accessed through a screen.

SAP SRM Prod with Oracle DB and AIX 5.3 Performance Issue.

Hi Basis Gurus,
Today my SAP PRD system all of a sudden was running slow and users had difficulties executing TCodes as it took minutes before the screen appeared.My system is SAP SRM 4.00, Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 and AIX 5.3.
From Basis point of view , we noticed that all the work process were hanged due to RFCs' occupying it.Couldnt investigate further on the system as we needed to restart asap because users needed to log on. A quick check on SICK shows no errors.What we managed to find out is that we needed to check this parameter below and set it accordingly:-
rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp:-
Definition
Number of work processes kept free for other users.
Use
This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for dialog mode. It prevents parallel RFCs from occupying all the processes.
The parameter rdisp/wp_no_dia specifies the absolute number of dialog work processes.
Unit: number of dialog work processes
Default value: 1
Example
If 10 dialog work processes are configured for the instance (rdisp/wp_no_dia = 10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 3 is set, parallel RFCs can occupy a maximun of 7 dialog work processes. Three dialog work processes always remain free for dialog mode.
There are 20 DIA processes in our system, perhaps reserving a minimum of about 5 work processes for DIA users will be useful via the parameter.
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
When we went for a restart of the system we encountered another issue. Steps to the issue are as below:-
1) Did a proper shutdown of Oracle and SAP.
2) When we start using startsap script, it doesn't start DB so we started DB manually but listener was having problem
    so we stopped all.
3) We also did a cleanipc, it too throws below error:-
sidadm> cleanipc <systemno> remove
               exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program cleanipc because of the following errors:
               0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for cleanipc because:
               0509-136   Symbol memmove (number 106) is not exported from
               dependent module /usr/sap/sid/SYS/exe/run/libsapu16.so.
               0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
               'dump -Tv' command.
4) Also the Listener file has no contents,it's null file.
5) This is another error :-
    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /oracle/sid/112_64/bin/tnslsnr because of the following errors:
    0509-150   Dependent module /oracle/sid/112_64/lib/libttsh11.so could not be loaded.
    0509-101   The module has too many section headers
    or the file is damaged
The libttsh11.so file was empty dated 25th timestamp as below in PRD:-
-rw-rr    1 sid   dba               0 Nov 25 07:12 libttsh11.so
Further checking has let me to understand this is an Oracle Bug from this link:-
http://gavinsoorma.com/2009/12/11-1-0-6-clusterware-upgrade-to-11-1-0-7/
This Oracle bug only happens in an Upgrade time and how could this happen to my Production system during a restart process.
Also this system was restarted during the last weekend's maintainance window and it came up with no issues.
6) We copied over the libttsh11.so from our QA environment to PRD and did a Startup:-
-rwxr-x---    1 sid   dba        65967496 Nov 25 07:40 libttsh11.so (This is the copied over file from QA)
7) After Startup everything has been in order till now.
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before. Hope all the Gurus here could shed some light into my 2 questions as I am looking for positive answers.
Thank you.
Regards,
John

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.

Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

Hope this helps.

This doesn't look good
Are you running the latest patchset and interim patch? Some ORA-07445 were fixed with the patches.

SAP Shutdown Necessary During Oracle Backup via BRBACKUP ?

Hi,
Is it necessary to shutdown SAP before backing up the Oracle database via BRBACKUP ?
The BRBACKUP will run cold db backup.
What's the windows script to shutdown & startup SAP v6 ?
TIA !
DL

Hi Desmond,
That is depends upon the backup type you are selecting.
If you are going to take a cold backup brbackup will shutdowns the database and takes backup.
If you are going for a online backup it will take backup without sutting down database.
And here no need to shutdown database manually, brbackup shutdowns database and takes backup.
I didn't understand your second query, what is the script?
Regards
Nick Loy
