Best Practice for SAP PI installation to share Data Base server with other

Hi All,
We are going for PI three tire installation but now I need some best practice document for PI installation should share Data base with other Non-SAP Application or not. I never see SAP PI install on Data base server which has other Application sharing. I do not know what is best practice but I am sure sharing data base server with other non-sap application doesnu2019t look good means not clean architecture, so I need some SAP document for best practice to get it approve from management. If somebody has any document link please let me know.
With regards
Sunil

You should not mix different apps into one database.
If you have a standard database license provided by SAP, then this is not allowed. See these sap notes for details:
[581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=581312]
[105047 - Support for Oracle functions in the SAP environment|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=105047] -> number 23
23. External data in the SAP database
Must be covered by an acquired database license (Note 581312).
Permitted for administration tools and monitoring tools.
In addition, we do not recommend to use an SAP database with non-SAP software, since this constellation has considerable disadvantages

Best Practices for SAP, connections to use without BW

Hello,
Could you help me to solve a problem with Best Practices 4.31?
SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 has 4 options :
u2022     SAP Infosets
u2022     SAP BW MDX Query
u2022     SAP BW Query
u2022     Table, cluster ou function
When I install SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 for serveur, I have one additional service in my CCM, BW Publisher 12. This service is from SAP BW.
From the article /people/glen.spalding/blog/2010/08/04/the-full-montypart-13bobj-integration-kit-sp3-install-configure and installation guide for IIntegration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 I've learned that I need SAP BW to use Infosets dans Crystal Reports.
Dans notre installation nous avons
u2022     SAP ERP système without BW,
u2022     BOBJ Server Setup,
u2022     BOBJ Edge Integration Kit for SAP XI 3.1 SP3 server
u2022     BOBJ Client Setup,
u2022     BOBJ Edge Integration Kit for SAP XI 3.1 SP3 client
u2022     Crystal Reports 2008
u2022     Xcelsius 2008
I've got Best Practices reports via « Table, cluster ou fonction » connection. There is no problem with this type of connection !
I suppose that « SAP Infosets », « SAP BW MDX Query » et « SAP BW Query » connections should be used with SAP BW.
Could you give me your opinion about this question?
Thanks beforehand,
Malika

Hi,
the InfoSets are a connection option for the classic InfoSets in an ERP system. Would suggest you take a look at the user guide for the SAP Integration Kit

Best practice / configuring SAP for hosting 3rd party users

We're trying to understand what the best approach is for supporting a 3rd party using our SAP instance.
Our company has always operated with the expectation we're the only users using and putting data into the system.
Now we're required to support (consider it to be application hosting) another organization's use of SAP.
The two options we've been considering are:
1. Separating the data via role assignment / authorization objects
or
2. Creating a separate SAP client to support the 3rd party.
Is there a best / recommended practice to accomplish this goal? We have some of our team in each camp and don't want to re-invent the wheel as others must have already crossed this bridge.
We're in a 4.7 environment.

Best Practice for SAP BW project implemetation/management

BACKGROUND: I have worked with Microsoft NAV ERP system, but in my new job I am working with SAP BW including BPS.
In Microsoft world we had a framework covering all aspects of a project form pre-sales, analyzis, design, implementation called Sure Step. (http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/support/implementation/success.aspx)
The framework consist of templates like risk register, business case, requierement collection, questionaries and check-lists. In addition to cover the whole project management part of a project (texts about what should bee done in diffrent phases).
I found a template searching for some BPS stuff http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=SAPBPScreate+questionaree&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDkQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdn.sap.com%2Firj%2Fscn%2Findex%3Frid%3D%2Flibrary%2Fuuid%2F90465610-181c-2a10-eba4-eb6d550682f5%26overridelayout%3Dtrue&ei=7EzfTof3DqiQ4gTc0_C9Bg&usg=AFQjCNFJTtkQ8d3c3ZA_NbW0Gpot_m0SwQ
QUESTION:
Does SAP have a similar project framework (for BW) with templates to use in different part of a project, like analysis, design and so on? Is it free for everybody to download and use?

Hello Ramesh,
you should have a look at the SAP Instguide, and if it tells you to do as your colleagues say, open a ticket to SAP and ask, whether doing it the otherw ay could have spoiled your system. Anything but an official "yes, it's ok" won't help you.
For the other guys: have a loook at http://service.sap.com/instguides, there you can find all the guides you need.

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,
Matus

Actually, 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 SAP landscape

Hello all,
I would like to know if there is some kind of best practice regarding SAP landscape in a big company.
For example is it recommended to have in the landscape a SAP Quality Assurance System open for customizing (transaction SCC4) so that quick customizing tests are performed at any moment, instead of customizing in Development system and then transports in QaS. (this can be very frustrating because for solving and testing an issue it's possible that numerous customizing tasks and reset of customzing is neccessary) ?
How SAP compliant would this solution be?
Thank you very much for your help!
Daniel Nicula

Hmmm, I do not know exactly if the question can be posed here in GRC related threads.
But it seemed to me that it is somehow connected.
Anyway, I agree with you that final customizing should be done in DEV and then transported in QAS.
What i am not sure is if it is against SAP recommendations to have a QAS opened for customizing and try all the solutions for an issue. And in the end when you are sure of what you want to do and to obtain, then you do the customizing also in DEV and follow the normal transport route.
Which can be the risks in case you have a QAS opened for customizing?
Thank you.
