SAP RAR - Best Practice ECC,CRM and BW systems
Hi All
i have the requirement to configure RAR for the systems ECC,CRM and BW systems . Each system has only one client . whats the best practice regarding using the rules against each system . i am assuming the rules will be the same irrespective of the system but when i see the names of the initial files , they are system specific . can anybody elloborate around this . thanks
Regards
Prasad
Prasad,
To build on Chinmaya's explanation, make sure you use a logical system for CRM, BI, and ECC for the basis portion of the rule set (and only the basis portion). This will keep you from duplicating your rules to meet your basis requirements. The other rules should be attributed to the individual systems (or additional logical systems if including mult landscapes, ex. Dev, QA, and Prod ECC merged into one ECC logical system).

Best Practice of CRM 6.0/ RKT 2007
Hi Experts,
We have installed the RKT CRM2007 Server that is CRM6.0.
Now when we are trying to upload the CRM Best Practice of CRM 5.2 (as its the latest available in market) its gives the error that 'Current Software Component Vector does not match' and we are not able to upload these Best Practice.
Can any one help us to deploy the Best Practice or any alternative.
Regards
PulkitHey thats news to us. We are on our way to implement CRM 5.2 but after knowing the release of CRM 2007, we are pursuing SAP to give us the same too.
When did you guys implement 2007?, should be very recent only. And were you using SAP CRM prior to it or this is th furst of it?
Would you have any advice for us who are on the road for the CRM 2007?

SAP ASE Best Practice latest update
Hello experts,
just wondering if somebody already reviewed thoroughly latest guide for best practices on SAP Sybase ASE?
I am talking about the document from note 1680803 - SYB: Migration to SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise - Best Practice (former note 1722359 - SYB: Running SAP applications on SAP ASE - Best Practice).
The guide for normal runtime operation was merged with the guide for migration, but there are some contradictory statements.
Apart from that the study case is again designed for server with huge memory and lot of CPU cores (so not so real case normally, I wonder who setup so often such huge servers...), I have found some inconsistencies.
E.g. in part "Reconfigure Engines and Parallel Processing", they talk about to limit ASE engines to 16, but the command configures 32.
alter thread pool syb_default_pool with thread count = 32, idle timeout = 2000
No change to the previous setup for migration. Is this just typo? I understand it should be 16, and then also number of network tasks for normal operation would be 4 (as mentioned in the beginning of guide that normally you set up 1 per 3-4 engnes). If this is not typo, then number of network tasks is wrong as it should be 8.
Also they introduced idle timeout, but only talking about ERP and possible lower value for Solman - does this mean that for BW you keep default value (which if I am not mistaken is 100)? As per ADM540 you should even decrease this timeout when SAP system is sharing server with database - I know that document is old, but is again contradictory, not saying that it is wrong, but not well explained.
If anybody checked new version of guide, please let me know, I think it is bit messed up and is bit difficult to distinguish what you should set up for migration case and what for normal operation case.
Thanks!
Regards,
MatusActually, quite a few customers run with that many engines/memory. In fact, it is difficult these days to even buy a server with less than 128GB of memory and 16 cores/32 threads. Pretty much the only time we see less is when the install is in a VM. Interestingly, we had comments from the first version suggesting the numbers were not realistic given the typical size of systems being deployed were much larger.... In addition, in my experience with customers on SAP systems, they were not aware of how much memory was necessary to really support medium to large systems based on the configurations they were attempting.
I am sorry that you feel some of the examples are contradictory. You are correct in pointing out that the text refers to 16 engines and the example configures 32.... So yes, for that specific example, it should have been 16.
Secondly, not having seen ADM540, but I think there is a bit of a problem if they suggest that. I my opinion (and I have spent a lifetime tuning ASE), the idle timeout for ERP and BW should likely both be 1000+ and 2000 is not unreasonable. The comment in ADM540 is likely due to if ASE and a NW CI are sharing the same cores - e.g. you have a 4 core box and ASE is running on 2 cores (we will ignore threads for this discussion) and you have 30 NW worker processes - which obviously will need to bump ASE off the cpu in order to run. This may be fine in a test/dev or even a solution manager system, but bumping ASE off the core is NOT a good thing for a production system. In fact, I would encourage using numactl or similar to fence off the the cores used for ASE from NW worker processes if at all possible. We have seen cases of overloaded NW installations with multiple CI instances with hundreds of worker processes each starving cpu away from ASE......sooo....I would tend to actually be a bit more than firm on suggesting that 100 is a very bad starting point. Given the number of client side joins that SAP uses to avoid [DBMS proprietary] temp tables, it is critical that ASE's (or any DBMS) response time be minimized as much as possible.....having ASE yield the core practically as soon as it gets done processing one task (and puts it to sleep pending an IO) just really causes things to run slow. Think of a typical query that returns 10 rows - say wide enough that each row fills 1 packet. If the packet transmit time (and client ACK) takes more than 100 microseconds on CPU (almost a given for network interactions...as clock ticks are in nanoseconds and networking is minimally milliseconds - 1000 microseconds), ASE would yield the CPU every time it sent a packet. When the client wanted the next packet, the OS would have to wake up the ASE process (an interrupted sleep) which is a nasty heavy weight operation. Hence it is best for ASE to hang out on the CPU until reasonably sure that nothing more is going to happen very soon....and on current cpus...and having it run for 1-2ms (1000-2000 microseconds) shouldn't be a hardship. If you created a separate thread pool for batch worker processes, then I could see maybe using a lower idle timeout such as 200 or 250......100 is just plain too low in my mind...it is like saying ASE is expecting an odd query every few seconds vs. a steady workload. Basically at that level, there had better be a task in the ASE job queue or one on the way on the network already, or that engine is going to sleep.
While I state that with regards to ADM540 itself, I have not seen the class (perhaps)...one customer did show me the notebook of a class (ASE Sys Admin) they went to and it was really targeted at non-SAP installations more than SAP installations - from a reality/experience aspect. Part of the issue with the class the customer showed me was it borrowed liberally from the old SY classes as a starting point, but at the point the class was developed there was not a lot of experience with running SAP installations on ASE to really point out the fine tweaking areas such as idle timeout.
However, the document was really aimed primarily at Business Suite vs. BW systems or a Solution Manager install (which are much smaller) - there are a lot of other considerations for BW the guide doesn't get into - although some of the sizing is a better start than the defaults provided by SAPINST
The former runtime guide essentially was just merged in to the Post-Migration Steps section.
May do a quick refresh in the near-future (due to some recent experiences), so if you have other specific examples of the text and SQL not aligning - please let me know. -

Best Practice regarding using and implementing the pref.txt file
Hi All,
I would like to start a post regarding what is Best Practice in using and implementing the pref.txt file. We have reached a stage where we are about to go live with Discoverer Viewer, and I am interested to know what others have encountered or done to with their pref.txt file and viewer look and feel..
Have any of you been able to add additional lines into the file, please share ;-)
Look forward to your replies.
LanceHi Lance
Wow, what a question and the simple answer is - it depends. It depends on whether you want to do the query predictor, whether you want to increase the timeouts for users and lists of values, whether you want to have the Plus available items and Selected items panes displayed by default, and so on.
Typically, most organizations go with the defaults with the exception that you might want to consider turning off the query predictor. That predictor is usually a pain in the neck and most companies turn it off, thus increasing query performance.
Do you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook? If so, take a look at pages 785 to 799 where I discuss in detail all of the preferences and their impact.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Kernel: PANIC! -- best practice for backup and recovery when modifying system?
I installed NVidia drivers on my OL6.6 system at home and something went bad with one of the libraries. On reboot, the kernel would panic and I couldn't get back into the system to fix anything. I ended up re-installing the OS to recovery my system.
What would be some best practices for backing up the system when making a change and then recovering if this happens again?
Would LVM snapshots be a good option? Can I recovery a snapshot from a rescue boot?
EX: File system snapshots with LVM | Ars Technica -- scroll down to the section discussing LVM.
Any pointers to documentation would be welcome as well. I'm just not sure what to do to revert the kernel or the system when installing something goes bad like this.
Thanks for your attention.There is often a common misconception: A snapshot is not a backup. A snapshot and the original it was taken from initially share the same data blocks. LVM snapshot is a general purpose solution which can be used, for example, to quickly create a snapshot prior to a system upgrade, then if you are satisfied with the result, you would delete the snapshot.
The advantage of a snapshot is that it can be used for a live filesystem or volume while changes are written to the snapshot volume. Hence it's called "copy on write (COW), or copy on change if you want. This is necessary for system integrity to have a consistent data status of all data at a certain point in time and to allow changes happening, for example to perform a filesystem backup. A snapshot is no substitute for a disaster recovery in case you loose your storage media. A snapshot only takes seconds, and initially does not copy or backup any data, unless data changes. It is therefore important to delete the snapshot if no longer required, in order to prevent duplication of data and restore file system performance.
LVM was never a great thing under Linux and can cause serious I/O performance bottlenecks. If snapshot or COW technology suits your purpose, I suggest you look into Btrfs, which is a modern filesystem built into the latest Oracle UEK kernel. Btrfs employs the idea of subvolumes and is much more efficient that LVM because it can operate on files or directories while LVM is doing the whole logical volume.
Keep in mind however, you cannot use LVM or Btrfs with the boot partition, because the Grub boot loader, which loads the Linux kernel, cannot deal with LVM or BTRFS before loading the Linux kernel (catch22).
I think the following is an interesting and fun to read introduction explaining basic concepts:

Best practice for Plan and actual data
Hello, what is the best practice for Plan and actual data? should they both be in the same app or different?
Thanks.Hi Zack,
It will be easier for you to maintain the data in a single application. Every application needs to have the category dimension, mandatorily. So, you can use this dimension to maintain the actual and plan data.
Hope this helps. -
DNS best practices for hub and spoke AD Architecture?
I have an Active Directory Forest with a forest root such as joe.co and the root domain of the same name, and root DNS servers (Domain Controllers) dns1.joe.co and dns2.joe.co
I have child domains with names in the form region1.joe.com, region2.joe.co and so on, with dns servers dns1.region1.joe.co and so on.
Each region has distribute offices that may have a DC in them, servers named in the form dns1branch1.region1.joe.co
Over all my DNS tests out okay, but I want to get the general guidelines for setting up new DCs correct.
Configuration:
Root DC/DNS server dns1.joe.co adapter settings points DNS to itself, then two other root domain DNS/DCs dns2.joe.co and dns3.joe.co.
The other root domain DNS/DCs adapter settings point to root server dns1.joe.co and then to itself dns2.joe.co, and then 127.0.0.1
The regional domains have a root dns server dns1.region1.joe.co with adapter that that points to root server dns1.joe.co then to itself.
The additional region domain DNS/DCs adapter settings point to dns1.region1.joe.co then to itself then to dn1.joe.co
What would you do to correct this topology (and settings) or improve it?
Thanks in advance
just davidHi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need suggestion about your DNS topology.
In theory, there is no obvious problem. Except for the namespace and server plaining for DNS, zone is also needed to consideration. If you place DNS server on each domain and subdomain, confirm that if the traffic browsed by DNS will affect the network performance.
Besides, fault tolerance and security are also necessary.
We usually recommend that:
DC with DNS should point to another DNS server as primary and itself as secondary or tertiary. It should not point to self as primary due to various DNS islanding and performance issues that can occur. And when referencing a DNS server on itself, a DNS client
should always use a loopback address and not a real IP address. detailed information you may reference:
What is Microsoft's best practice for where and how many DNS servers exist? What about for configuring DNS client settings on DC’s and members?

SAP SCM and SAP APO: Best practices, tips and recommendations
Hi,
I have been gathering useful information about SAP SCM and SAP APO (e.g., advanced supply chain planning, master data and transaction data for advanced planning, demand planning, cross-plant planning, production planning and detailed scheduling, deployment, global available-to-promise (global ATP), CIF (core interface), SAP APO DP planning tools (macros, statistical forecasting, lifecycle planning, data realignment, data upload into the planning area, mass processing u2013 background jobs, process chains, aggregation and disaggregation), and PP/DS heuristics for production planning).
I am especially interested about best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO. For example, [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 3.1.1|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700006480652001E] and [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 4.0|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000596412005E] contain pretty useful knowledge about CIF.
If you know any useful best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO, I would appreciate if you could share those assets with me.
Thanks in advance of your help.
Regards,
Jarmo TuominenHi Jarmo,
Apart from what DB has suggested. you should give a good reading on the following.
-Consulting Notes (use the application component filters in search notes)
-Collective Notes (similar to the one above)
-Release Notes
-Release Restrictions
-If $$ permit subscribe to www.scmexpertonline.com. Good perspective on concepts around SAP SCM.
-There are a couple of blogs (e.g. www.apolemia.com) .. but all lack breadth.. some topics in depth.
-"Articles" section on this site (not all are classified well.. see in ECCops, mfg, SCM, Logistics etc)
-Serivce.sap.com- check the solution details overview in knowledge exchange tab. There are product presentations and collaterals for every release. Good breadth but no depth.
-Building Blocks - available for all application areas. This is limited to vanilla configuration of just making a process work and nothing more than that.
-Get the book "Sales and Operations Planning with SAP APO" by SAP Press. Its got plenty of easy to follow stuff, good perspective and lots of screen shots to make life easier.
-help.sap.com the last thing that most refer after all "handy" options (incl. this forum) are exhausted. Nevertheless, this is the superset of all "secondary" documents. But the maze of hyperlinks that start at APO might lead you to something like xml schema.
Key Tip: Appreciate that SAP SCM is largely driven by connected execution systems (SAP ECC/ERP). So the best place to start with should be a good overview of ERP OPS solution overview, at least at the significant level of depth.). Check this document at sdn wiki "ERP ops architecture overview".
I have some good collection of documents though many i havent read myself. If you need them let me know.

Loknath
