BPC multi server install local + domain installation

Hi all,
Is it possible to install a BPC multi server local + domain installation?
will be installing BPP app server locally, using local admin
and install BPC DB server using domain account?
will that be possible?
Company wants BPC users to be maintained locally in 1 server, but the DB will be maintained by domain administrator
THanks!

Hi Jeb,
The authentication to IIS level is done with local user but after that all the operation between application server and database server are impersonate and are using the installation user which has full access.
I hope you stored the webfolders into application server because if you didn't do that again you will have a problem with access.
File server will be access at is working using NTFS rights.
So if you store the File Server into db server again you will have access problems because the users from application server will not be able to access the file server.
If you have File Server into application server then it muust be ok.
You said the connection wizard is working fine ...so the only problem which I see it seems to be related to file server.
Check the the rights to Webfolders and make sure you are not into situation mentioned before.

R/3 Implmenetation Landscape Local/Domain Installation

Hi,
Client wanted to Implement ECC6 Landscape installation on Windows. My question is during installation which method recomenadable Local/Domain .
If it is local how the transport" \usr\sap\trans "directory would be shared from across dev,qa,and prod systems.
In Unix we can use NFS mounts .what about windows if i install local installation.
For domain installation they need to create a user with domain admin rights . also can create domian groups.
Which method recomenadable .Since client is fully secured , Also let me know what are the ports need to open to communicate between the systems (dev/qa/prod) and fronend users.
Thanks in advance,
kristene

in a local installation method the system which has trans
directory , if you dev system contains usr/sap/trans then
DEVadm and sapserviceDEV has to created in all the systems
whith the same rights and password in all the systems.sap recommends to use domain

BPC 7.0 SP07 - Multi Server Install

Hi All,
We are just starting the process of installing BPC 7.0 SP07 and trying to decide what components to add on a two server architecture. This is what we are planning to do:
Server 1 (64 bit) consists of: SQL, OLAP and Reporting servers
Server 2 (32 bit) consists of: Application, web and FileShare servers
We thought of this architecture because application and web servers cannot be installed on 64 bit OS. Please let us know if we are going in the right path or not and are there any potential problems we will run into.
Also, I downloaded BPC 7.0 SP07 since that is the latest service pack available. I had to download three different zip files - server, language and client for SMS packages. Where as the SP03 had only one zip file. I don't know why there are three different zip files and at what point during installation I need to use those. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
The architecture you designed is ok. Now there are some things you can take in consideration:
1. Usually, the reporting Services is better to be on the application server. This because it need iis and iis installed on db server cand be an open door to the server.
2. If you have a cluster for SQL server - you can put the fileshare on the DB side (added to cluster - solves the file-over problem)
Regarding the installation files you downloaded:
language is related to languages patch in case you want to use BPC in a different language than english
sms installation kit - silent client installation.
Hope this can help,
Mihaela

Use of SQL Reporting Services in BPC (multi-server environment) - concept

Hello Experts,
I have the following scenario:
2 BPC application servers. Lets call them BPCA1 and BPCA2.
Load Balancer with virtual name BPCA
SQL 2005 database server BPCDB
Database server would hold BPC databases and Report Server database - requires 1 SQL Server license.
Each application server requires SQL Server Integration Services to be installed - 2 SQL Server Standard Edition licenses in my scenario.
Now, is Reporting Services a required component and needs to be installed on both application servers?
Because "scale-out" deployment for Reporting Services is only supported in SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Price difference between Standard and Enterprise Editions are quite sufficient.
So, can I install SQL Server Reporting Services only on BPCA1 and point BPC configuration to BPCA1 for all applications servers?
What is the use of SQL Server Reporting Services in BPC besides running Admin Reports?
Thanks in advance,
Akim

Hi RS is not required to be installed into db server or app server. It can be even an external RS server.
You are right if you will try to install RS in both app server you need Enterprise Edition because is required by Microsoft for RS web farm.
If you will install RS into database server then you don't need other license for SQL but if you will use SQL Server 2005 you have to install IIS into database server.
For many companies this broke some security policies and for this reason you have to install RS into appserver.
If you will use SQL Server 2008 then IIS is not required anymore and this is another plus in favor of SQL 2008.
Also SAP recomendations is to use SQl Server 2008 for SAP BPC 7.0 SP3 or later becaiuse the performances are better.
RS is used for:
Admin reportts. Audit Reports Journal Reports.
But without RS working you can have issue also with some Admin components not really just with reports.

Multi-server Environment without Windows Domain

Hi,
Has anyone had experience with installing SAP BPC in a multi- server environment without using Microsoft Active Directory as a domain. (ie just using local users for everything).
Do we need to create a domain in order in successfully install and use the BPC? If that is the case, which server is best suited to install the domain on?
Many thanks

Hi,
Do you have at least a domain for hosting your servers ? Without an administrative domain for computer and technical accounts I doubt you could even make BPC work in a multi-servers environment.
If you don't have a domain for your users, you may (but i will never recommend it), create all your users localy. But you will have to create them on all BPC servers with same name / same password. Password adminisration will be a real mess as you will have to change the password on all machine each time the user want to change it. And this will not be done by the end-user but by IT staff. Also, users will not be able to use Windows Integrated Authentication functionnality.
So basically, yes use a domain for computer and users. The most easy architecture is to use a single domain for both computer and users.
If you have to install a Windows AD, I would take a look at Microsoft white paper and KB. But I think that you have to dedicate at least 1 machine for it (best is to have 2 servers for fault tolerance).

Hello Kristene,
Always install SAP in a Domain. You may want to talk to your Active Directory team regarding their domain structure to select the most appropriate domain if your customer is using a multi-domain architecture.
The ECC 6.0 installation guide and the Netweaver 2004s installation guides have a section on "How to install SAP if you do not have domain admin access". It is explained in detail. Basically you get your AD team to create the accounts prior to your installation.
I would recommend you AD team create a new container and delegate control of the container to the Basis team. You should create all your service accounts in this container.
If you want to determine which ports to open - you can look at the windows\system32\drivers\etc\services file. This applies only for ABAP based systems, not Java. If you ask you security team to open 3200-3600, 4800-4801 and 40080-49980 this usually will work.
Good luck

Multi server domain in weblogic

Hi,
Please list the steps for creating a multi server domain in weblogic 10.3.3.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For detail you can follow the installation guide.
Here's a general step for WebLogic:
1. PS_HOME/setup/PsMpPIA/setup.exe - to install PIA
2. Choose the multi server domain while on the page requesting the type of domain
3. With Proper value specified such as portal, psreports, site name, etc. Complete the installation
4. Go to your PIA_HOME/bin folder
5. Start WebLogic Admin - startWebLogicAdmin.cmd
6. Start your PIA domain - startManagedWebLogic.cmd PIA
(You also can use install NT services to install a <domain_name>-<Server Name> service under NT to start automatically)
Thanks,

To change a domain installation to local installation

Hi,
To give you a little background,
We currently have two instance of SAP R/3 running on a server, ECC 5.0, 6.0, Oracle, on Windows.
Our organization was recently acquired by another company, because of this we had to go for a domain change.
To change the domain, system copy is procedure used. I have used the R3load procedure to
perform an export of the existing systems.
While this was happening, I am also working on another issue, with SAP's support, for this purpose, the said server
is currently in a DMZ to be exposed to SAP's support. According to our network guys, we do not have domain controllers
in DMZ, the server has to be a workgroup(if I understand it correctly, its local authentication). To enable this I would have
to use the export I had taken to do a local installation. This is just until the issue gets resolved, once that is done, server
will be moved out of DMZ and into the domain again. At which point, I would have to redo everything back into the new
domain.
This local installation has to be performed on the same server, by uninstalling the current SAP installation.
I have read several posts, regarding database copy, database restore. I am a little confused.
Below is a post where Markus suggests, database copy,
Re: Copying a Domain installed SAP System to Local Installed SAP System.
My questions are,
1. Even though I am fairly confident, the export was a success, Can I use the existing database setup, since
it is on the same server?
2. If I have to uninstall the existing system, it is my understanding that I would install the central instance as
a local installation and restore the db, How do I restore database for Oracle? I have looked for a relevant doc,
unsuccessfully.
3. The issue that I am working on with SAP's support, is related to webservices, where in we are trying to call
an external webservice from SAP, I am a little skeptical, if the functionality would remain the same after a local
installation, can somebody shed some light on this as well?
Thanks,
Vishnu

Hi dude!
To answer to the main question here: you are right, the supported method to change a domain (and this would include a change from domain to local installation or vice-versa) is, as you already know, to perform a system copy ( homogeneous system copy if the platform remains unchanged under the conditions of [note 547314|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/547314]). You can refer to [SAP note 1233320|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1233320] to get further details.
However, let me explain that an export with R3trans is not necessary if the system copy is an homogeneous one. Using a database-specific procedure (e.g. attaching the MS SQL Server database files to another SQL Server engine) is faster by far. You can search for notes on the suitable procedure specific for your database (these will be in the component BC-DB-*, e.g. BC-DB-ORA for Oracle databases). Suggestion: look for "system copy" or "database copy" in the BC-DB-ORA component for your particular case.
In order to get further information on all this, please check [System Copy and Migration homepage on the SAP Developer Network (SDN)|System Copy and Migration]. In that page you will find also a direct link to the [Installation Guides|http://service.sap.com/instguidesnw]; the link is referred as System Copy Guides, from which you should follow your SAP release (e.g. SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s)), then press the link plan and install (under the Installation section)
and finally, navigate to the section in which the PDF System Copy guides are (in this example, press 2 - Installation - SAP NetWeaver Systems to display the guides, and download e.g. the +System Copy for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP + Java+).
If you read the System Copy PDF document very carefully and do not dismiss to check the referred notes, this will be as easy as a pie!
Cheers!!

Problem in Domain Server for Cluster SAP installation

Hello,
SAP Production Landscape Information :
SAP Version: ECC 6.0
OS: Windows 2003
Database : Oracle 10.2.0.2
Production Server is in MSCS cluster involving two nodes.
Also, this is a domain installation and hence user SAPSID and SAPSERVICESID resides on altogether different domain Server.
Problem:
OS of u2018Windows domain serveru2019 has crashed. Hence, domain server is almost not usable.
Restart of it takes several hours. Repair of OS is tried by Microsoft without any success.
So this has resulted into communication problem between SAP Production server and Domain server. As an effect, restart of production server takes approximately an hour.
And hence I need some solution to resolve this SAP Server  Domain Server link.
Logically, following can be solution of this problem,
1.     If Current SAP Production can be made as Local Installation instead of Domain installation. (Basically, creating users locally and making SAP refer that)
2.     If above is not feasible then replicating domain server on new hardware and making SAP point to this new domain server.
However, I am not sure about feasibility and procedures for both of above cases.
Please let me know your views and any other solution for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply.
Possibility of converting domain installation to local is ruled out as MSCS cluster needs domain.
As you have rightly mentioned, I do have secondary domain sever.
For More information:
1)Domain details for primary server are
    Full computer name : APPL-SERVER.SHREE
    domain            : SHREE
   as secondary server is kept shutdown, details are not available. (I can't run both server running simultaneously)
2)sqlplus "/as sysdba"
sql> select username from dba_users;
    TSMSYS
    OPS$SHREE\SAPSERVICEPRD
    OUTLN
    OPS$SHREE\PRDADM
    DIP
    DBSNMP
    SAPPRD
    SYS
    SYSTEM
3) In the services, mainly users are using SHREE\PRDADM & PASSWORD.
Client have tried shutting down primary and promoting secondary domain controller. However, after that SAP service were not getting started. But on again starting primary controller,start of SAP services were successful.
As can be seen in 2nd & 3rd point above,SAP database and SAP services both refer to name "SHREE" which seems domain name and not to hostname.
So in this case, when I start secondary domain server (primary is shut down) then as SAP is referring to domain name, SAP's service should start.
However, that was not the case. SAP Services were not able to get started.
So, do we have to change anything in SAP as to make it point to secondary domain server.
Let me know your views.
Regards,
Nirav.

Ping to local domain works but ping to server name dont work from local network PC

Hi
I have done a fresh install of the Windows Server 2012 R2 and installed Essentials Experience role to it.
My problem is that I cannot ping server name from PC in the local network. I can ping local domain name (domain.local).
When I try to ping local domain in the server, it resolutes ok and gives server IPv4 IP but when I ping server name in the server, it gives me IPv6 IP ::1: which I understand to be IPv6 loopback IP. I dont know if this has anything to do with the pinging
problem from the PC.
I had earlier the same server configuration and this earlier server gives IPv4 IP when server name is pinged from the server itself.
How to get PC to ping server name so that I could use http://servername/connect??
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have you set firewall to allow incoming ICMP Echo messages ?
By default, Windows Firewall does not allow incoming ICMP Echo messages, and therefore the computer cannot send an ICMP Echo Reply in response.
You may like to refer to the article below to check if it worked:

Oops! Firefox could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8500

can you help? same message with all 127.0.0.1:8500
urls, data or server admin....
Forta I 8/Edition files work with CF SERVER 9?

I have the same problem, on my primary computer (Windows XP Pro , but the cause may be different from what 123polis123 had.
It seems that the installer installed the Enterprise Multiserver configuration instead of the built in server.
Note that I installed sucessfully on my laptop (Windows XP Home), using the same install parameters.
I chose the "Server configuration" which has a self contained server tunning a single instance with an embedded JEE server. After running though all the installation screens, before proceeding with the actual installation, the installer reported the following:
Installation Type:
Server configuration
Licensing:
Developer Edition
Installation Directories:
Product: C:\ColdFusion9
Web root: C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot
Server Information:
Web Server: Built-in web server
Port: 8500
ODBC Services: installed
Search Services: installed
ColdFusion Solr Search Services: installed
Microsoft .Net version: v 2.0.50727
.NET Java Port: 6085
.NET Client Port: 6086
Documentation: installed
RDS: enabled
Disk Space Information (for Installation Target):
Required: 1,089,069,939
Available: 7,387,262,976
The installation proceeded without a hitch, except at the end when the browser is supposed to come up with the admin configuration page it can't find the server. Port 8500 is open. I fiddled around awhile to see what the problem was. I installed on the other computer which went fine - the only difference is that the .NET version is 1.1.4322. I then re-installed, without uninstalling, on the problem computer. When the installer got to the screen where I select the server configuration, Enterprise Multiserver configuration was selected and it was not possible to select onything else. I uninstalled and re-installed. Same thing happened.
The processes running included: k2admin.exe, k2index.exe, k2server.exe and CFDotNetsvc.exe. The processes on the sucessful install included cfp.exe and cfupdate.exe.
Note that I had installed Eclipse and the CFEclipse plugin before installing CF9.

CF installer server or multi-server configuration

Previous versions of CF installer allow you to install either server or multi-server configuration.
This made it hard to change a CF box from server to multi-server since you would have to re-install CF to apply change.
CF10 installer lets you install stand-alone installation. After installing ColdFusion in stand-alone mode, you can create multiple instances (provided you have an Enterprise or Dev license).
Nice. Easy to alter a CF box from server to multi-server.
Thanks, Carl.

Hi，
i read the issue in detail. however it is hard to troubleshoot via froum.
To such issue, it is not an efficient way to work in this community since we may need more resources, for example memory (application) dump or ETL trace, which is not appropriate to handle in community.

How to Install J2EE server in local PC

Hi All,
I have j2EE server in remote. I like to install J2EE server in local PC. Can any one give some information about installation. If possible step by step.
Thank you
Ravi Golla

Ravi,
What version of Netweaver Studio did you install? Where did you get it? I haven't installed JUST studio so I'm not familiar with how it works.
However, I know that if you install Netweaver Developer Workplace it will have a web dynpro perspective AND a local install of the J2EE engine.
There are a lot of posts on SDN saying that you don't NEED a local engine but I disagree. I think it's imperative that a developer have a local environment to test his/her code without affecting anyone else.
One of the arguments against that is the setup required. We've gone through this and documented a procedure for our developers and it is not that big of a deal at all.
In my mind, the pros of a local environment far, far outweigh any additional setup.
Plus, if you are using NWDI, getting your code to the central server(s) is fairly seamless. We have ours setup so that it automatically deploys to the dev server when we activate an activity.
Are you an SAP Customer? If so, you can download Netweaver Developer Workplace from Service Marketplace.
Here's a link to the Trial and Preview versions.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6
As for not seeing the web dynpro perspective, let me ask an obvious question: did you try Window | Open Perspective? If you're not seeing Web Dynpro on that menu then I'm stumped.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
David.

Converting a local SAP installation into a domain SAP installation

Hello,
We plan to convert a local installed SAP system into a domain installed SAP system. Is it just enough to change the user from the services SAPOSCOL and SAP<SID>_nn from local to domain users? If not, what else do I have to do or do we have to do this by a system copy ;-( We use SAP ECC6.0 EHP4.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi,
Would also suggest to check this thread:
Change from local to domain installation
We have tried this approach and works fine - saved quite some time and effort. However if you want to go the safe way, please go for a system copy as Sunny suggested. Either way, I recommend a complete backup first

"Sharepoint 2013" is giving error that prevents local domain users authentication for "Team Foundation Server"

I am getting 2 errors through the event viewer that prevents TFS 2013 authentication for local domain users, also this error started appearing after having TFS upgraded to [ 12.0.30723.0 (Tfs2013.Update3) ].
1st Error (from administrative events):
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUsageImportJobDefinition (ID a51a0244-765d-433b-8502-0bb0540ad1fd) threw an exception. More information is included below.
Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS' is denied.
Tried so far:-
- changed the path to another folder from "Diagnostic Logging" in another drive, but still getting the same error.
2nd Error (from application server):
DistributedCOM error
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
Which I already got fixed using the following steps on a thread I opened before (but still getting the same error).
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/3896e35c-b99a-4d30-b662-f92d337c8d6f/windows-servers-components-services-and-regedit-permissions-are-grayed-out-for-my-admin-account?forum=winservergen
Other Fixes I tried
- Found on another topic that it is not sharepoint that is causing the problem, but it is the generated ASP.NET web pages used for testing is causing the memory to fill up due to cashing on RAM, the fix suggested to change IIS cashing from RAM to HD to prevent
loading up using w3wp.exe from processes.
Concern
- by checking other topics for people having the same problem, it was mentioned that this error appeared after the lastest TFS update, is there is a fix for it ?
