SAP SID size

How big (how many characters) can a SAP SID or appserver name can be? Also, how big can a SAP hostname can be?
Thank you,
Sushant Dhakal

Hi,
all necessary information could be found in the Installation Guide.
The SAP System ID <SAPSID> identifies the whole SAP
system.
Caution
Choose your SAP system ID carefully. You cannot change
the SAP system ID after the installation.
Make sure that your SAP system ID:
- Is unique throughout your organization
- Consists of exactly three alphanumeric characters
- Contains only uppercase letters
- Has a letter for the first character
- Does not include any of the following, which are reserved
IDs:
ADD ALL AND ANY ASC AUX COM CON DBA END EPS FOR
GID IBM INT KEY LOG LPT MON NIX NOT NUL OFF OMS
PRN RAW ROW SAP SET SGA SHG SID SQL SYS TMP UID
USR VAR

R3trans & dbmcli schema user SAP SID can not login

Hello Guru's,
we have a problem with our MaxDB 7.6.6.6.
We can not start SAP, because the default user password is wrong.
But we can login with database studion to the schema user SAP<SID>.
We can administrate the db with control & superdba.
Has someone a suggestion, why dmbcli or R3trans can not login?

SAP SID DB TableSpace is filling up fast

Hi All,
SAP<SID>DB TableSpace is filling up fast in our XI system.It is growing day by day as we execute scenarios.Is there a way to restrict the Size of this Table Space.
Something similar to archiving and deleting.

Vivian Liu,
 I am trying to install XI on Windows2003/sql server.
I have installed os/sp3/sqlserver/patches/Central Instance/Db instance.
I have used Administrator account to install this.
1. When do i need to create <SID>adm user?
2. If you have any installation notes with the sequence of steps, can you please send it to me at [email protected]
Thank you

PDF files are stored to /usr/sap/ SID SYS/global

True or False --> When a PDF file is generated from within SAP the spool file is stored in /usr/sap/<SID>SYS/global
After a recent upgrade to ECC 6 I'm noticing that a large number of SPOOL* files are in the global directory. Each spool file has 3 components a SPOOL.cfg, SPOOL.xfd and a SPOOL*.ps file .When I examine the spool number using SP01 I see that these jobs all have an output type of PDF. Only files of type PDF appear in the global directory. It does not matter which output device is used. No output device in my system is defined to write to the global directory. Everything is set up to store files to the database.
My assumption is that the generation of a PDF format requires a temporary storage area to convert the data from the "Device Type" setting for the printer (such as Postscript or HPGL) to the PDF format and that the /usr/sap/<SID>SYS/global directory is used for this purpose.
Is there a parameter setting that allows me to modifiy this "conversion" location?

Assumptions:
---> You are running on Unix - I don't have instructions for Windows, but they would be analogous
---> Your System ID is TX1
---> 2Gb is big enough to hold your Adobe files
1.) Create a 2Gb file system named /AdobeFiles
2.) Create the required directories under this new file system
- For example: /AdobeFiles/300ADSP
3.) Verify that the user <sid>adm can write to the directory created in step 2
4.) Apply SAP note 1327372
5.) Rename the filesystems that SAP note 1327372 creates
- For example: mv /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP-ORG
6.) Create a symbolic link for the required directory to the directory created in step 2
- For example: ln -s /AdobeFiles/300ADSP /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP
7.) Test your link
cd /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP
touch TestFile
cd /AdobeFiles/300ADSP/TestFile
Your file should have been created in /AdobeFiles/300ADSP

Create user with read access for all tables SAP SID .*

Hello all,
could you please help me ? I would like to grant select privilege on all tables SAP<SID>.* for newly created user.
I have created standard database user (not exclusive).
I`m able to grant select for individual tables, but I would like to grant select for this user on all SAP<SID>
schema in simplier way
But as far as I know, the schema`s owner name must be different then schema name.
Any idea please ?
Thank you.
Pavol

create user <user_name> identified by <password> <options>;
grant read on all tables:-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GRANT_SELECT AS
CURSOR ut_cur IS
SELECT table_name
FROM user_tables;
RetVal NUMBER;
sCursor INT;
sqlstr VARCHAR2(250);
BEGIN
FOR ut_rec IN user_tabs_cur;
LOOP
sqlstr := 'GRANT SELECT ON '|| ut_rec.table_name
|| ' TO <user_name>';
sCursor := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(sCursor,sqlstr, dbms_sql.native);
RetVal := dbms_sql.execute(sCursor);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(sCursor);
END LOOP;

Upgrade SM 7.0 to EhP1 - Windows service SAP SID _ inst.no does not start

Hi gurus,
I have to upgrade our Solution manager 7.0 (Windows 2003 32-bit, NW 7.0 SP15, Kernel SP185, non-unicode) to the latest SP of EhP1. I downloaded the upgrade and update guides and followed them.
1. Updated to SPAM 700 SP38.
2. Stopped the server and updated the Kernel to 32-bit non-unicode 7.01 SP69.
3. I tried to start the services SAPOSCOL and SAP<SID>_00 and both did not started sayin the application is broken and needs reinstall.
4. I downgraded to Kernel 23-bit non-unicode 7.01 SP55 and tried again - the service SAPOSCOL started but the service SAP<SID>_00 did not.
5. I downgraded to Kernel 23-bit non-unicode 7.01 SP15 and tried again - the same as with SP55.
6. I restored the original Kernel and the server started normally.
The update guide says I first should update SPAM and the Kernel and after that run SAINT to import the EhP1 components selected in MOPZ.
I found a suggestion to run SAINT import before the Kernel upgrade - should I do it?
How can I resolve the problem?
Thanks everyone!
Petar

Thank you Paul!
I finally found [another thread|How to Upgrade kernel 7.0 to 7.01; with similar problem solved by SAP note 684106. It solved my problem too.
I will try to continue update from the current state but will have in mind if something goes wrong your advice. I will write later for the results.

Petar

Hi Gaurav,
I got the issue, problem was that the reginfo and secinfo on my ABAP system which was connected to my JAVA system, it was not allowing the requests to pass through and hence it was not getting registered. I deactivated the parameters of reginfo and secinfo and its now working fine.
I will look into the issue of where i went wrong with reginfo/secinfo

Managed System Config: Wily BC path /usr/sap/ SID /JC instance is not a directory for BI Java Instance

We are getting error message "Wily BC patch /usr/sap/<SID>/JC06 is not a directory while doing managed systems setup. System verification is successful. The Java directory should be /usr/sap/<SID>/J06 in our case, which is showing correctly in LMDB. Any idea?
I have done the usual resynch SLD, Rerun system verification and reset managed systems configuration etc.

Hi Tariq,
Please enter complete path like below and check :
/usr/sap/<ManagedSID>/<InstanceID>/ByteCodeAdapter
Also check below SAP note for details :

RFC function is called with null paremeters on SAP side

I used the new version of .Net Connector 2.0.1.
I created a simple client called RFC function with one table parameter and simple RFC function inserts record to simple table on SAP side.
If I call this RFC function from SAP side the record is inserted to my table with correct value.
If I call this RFC function from NET side the record is inserted with null value.
What's wrong ?
Could anybody help me ?
Code :
SAP side
FUNCTION ZRVFRFCNV.
*" TABLES
*" ITDATA STRUCTURE ZRVNAMEVALUE
insert into ZRVNAMEVALUE values ITDATA.
ENDFUNCTION.
Net side
ZRVNAMEVALUE nam_val2 = new ZRVNAMEVALUE();
nam_val2.Name = "100";
nam_val2.Value = "NORD";
ZRVNAMEVALUETable tblTest = new ZRVNAMEVALUETable();
tblTest.Add(nam_val2);
// for testing : dataGrid show correct values
dataGrid1.SetDataBinding(tblTest, "");
this.sapProxy11.Zrvfrfcnv(ref tblTest);

The problem was in insert statement. I changed insert to modify on SAP side and solved it.

Export & import of sap sid schema for building a new system

Hi,
We have a quality BW system which runs on HANA SPS07 (Revision 73). The database contains many schemas in addition to sap<sid>, the rest of the schemas are used through native HANA and are very huge.
We are planning to build a new test BW system by system copy method from quality BW systems. We dont want the export/import of entire database as it will take a long time because of huge native HANA schemas, also the schemas other than sap<sid> are not required in the target. Please let me know how to copy only the sap<sid> schema to the new database.
Thanks & Regards,
Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
Try with rigth clic on schema -> Export,
Select CSV format, choose a directory.
And for import the schema use the follow query:
import "old_schema"."*" as CSV from 'Directory' with replace threads 10 rename schema "old_schema" to "NEW_schema_name";
Regards.
