Business continuity plans

Business continuation is very important to achieve the goals of the organization in thelong run. If the organiztion cannot continue in the future, it cannot achieve its targets or goals and eventually, it will come to an end creating huge loss and diverting fromthe objectives with which it was first established.
Business continuity plan template helps us with this problem. It gives us the ideas as to how we can continue our business to the long run. We can log in to https://bccatalyst.com/templates for more on this.

Business Continuity of Databases....

I would welcome some Oracle DBA assistance to scope a piece of audit work for tender around business continuity of an oracle database/environment (managed and supported by a 3rd party provider). We have had several “security” audits/assessments of this oracle database, and its environment, i.e. the infrastructure on which the database is installed/operated, and the front end web application. But I just think that’s only half the coverage requiredwhen it comes down to risk, there’s still operational issues namely we call this “business continuity” practices and controls.
Can anyone help provide a scope of the things to include in a business continuity type audit of an Oracle Database/DBA provider? Even if its just top level bullet points that I can research further it will help. If you have ever done one before - do you have a scope of the work, if you have ever had such an assessment/audit done of your own busienss continuity practices for oracle environments you manage and support, what was included in the review?

It doesn't make a lot of sense to talk about business continuity at a database level - it needs to be addressed at a service level. Database failure is only one of many things that could affect the availability of the service.
But in general you need to think about the following
- What constitutes loss of service? I.e what is the trigger point for invoking your business continuity plans? You may have several levels of this, Full outage, loss of functionality, loss of access based on geographic area/user group/access channel, each with different plans
- Who makes the decision to invoke the plan/bits of the plan i.e escalation routes?
- Coming up with a plan for the various scenarios, Not just technical (That is often the easy bit) - things like
- Communication - how do you let the team invoking the plan, and the users know? Bear in mind the problem may be with networks etc. Does everyone have access to the plan, even if computer systems are down?
- Training
- Physical considerations. Do you need a new server room? Somewhere to work?
- Financial. What will the financial impact be? Can you get funds to pay for staff, kit, accomodation etc if necessary?
- Testing. The plans need to be tested. Can be a hard sell to management to really take your systems out, but it's often the only way. And this time you know you can easily turn things back on!
- Afterwards. Do you need to do any processing after the event? For example for one of my systems in the case of losing an area node, the plan is to revert to paper recording, and contact other offices for any urgent lookups etc. This requires backfilling the data onto the system once it is back available. You need to plan the amount of resource necessary for this.
You can come up with hundreds of different scenarios if you get carried away. You will never be able to plan for them all, so pick the most likely. It should be a continuously evolving process anyway. For example we had to add policies around bird flu (Both for a genuine pandemic, and more likely scenario that offices are shut down) a year or 2 ago.

Interface Settings Error, Business Objects Planning, Templates

Hello all,
I am getting an error in interface settings whenever I have tried to run a template.
I have searched these forums and wikis and been googling for days and have not found anything even remotely relevant.
This company is using Business Objects Planning, version 11.10.1325.0
Platform is Windows Server 2003 SP2. Excel version 11.0
They have been using BOP for two years. They have been manually copying actuals data (i.e. historic data) into the template-derived workbooks for budget and forecast and them saving them for users. The consultants did not leave them with templates that loaded historic data from the SQL server, nor did the consultants even tell them about write-back (save-to-database) reports (which are what I am used to building).
In the short term I have been asked to get their templates working properly.
A week ago I logged a request with the consultants (SAP gold partners) but have yet to hear back.
We have tried starting at the basics and building a very simple template that follows the examples given in the users guide.
(i.e. the Planning Professional Edition Plan Administrators Guide, note that the consultants did not leave copies of the guides that matched the BOP version, so I downloaded the correct editions for this installation, but the basics are the same.)
So I have a template that has account ("ACC" for this organisation, "ACCT" in the Guide) in cell A1.
Row 1 then contains the Other Column to write back to in cell E1 (ESourcePY for this test), and Row 1 is even coloured pastel green.
Row 2 is coloured pastel yellow just like in the Guide and contains "Control Row for Interface" in cell B2 and the Time Series to read from in cell E2 - SSANYB_TOT, which basically means NYB_TOT for this company.
Rows 3 - 6 are coloured purple and cell B3 holds "Summary Print control Row". I have tried "SRCPrintControl" in cell H3 and I have tried without it. I have tried "Monthly Print Control Row" in B4 and I have tried without it (and SRCPrintControl in H4).
And then I have a number of natural accounts in cells A21:A24, I have tried using just one ACC and I have tried them on different lines, but in the end I put them on the same line as the ones in the Guide start at.
I have also tried with and without "HDR" in the cells in the H column.
My Settings sheet has been exactly as the one in the Guide, and I have tried with only a Summary in the Printing section, deleting the Monthly stuff, I have also tried changing the Border Columns and Rows but I am not too sure that is relevant.
The relevant sheet in the Interface Setting book is exactly as the one in the Guide but using the local Time Series and Target Sheet Name etc., although I have tried using the write-back target (ESourcePY) Other Column in the Target Column Name instead of SSANYB_TOT as shown in the Guide.
There is one difference; this organisation is not using Standard Planning Methodologies (no client I have seen uses them) and so that cell (B11) is empty.
But all I ever get, no matter how many variations or modification I try is :
"Error in interface settings of Default Interface interface on control row or column in temp1 sheet. Do you want to continue?"
Can anybody please shed some light on what is missing?
Thanks in advance,
Kai
P.S. This seems to lose all format/structure when uploaded, but it is all in paragraphs with white space when I write/edit it.

NOT ANSWERED
But a month and no answer means that obviously no-one on this planet, including the SAP help desk, knows the answer.
Business Objects used to have a really good help desk based in Singapore. Yeah, their consultant partners in Australia were not very good, but the help desk was very helpful and proactive.
Now that SAP has acquired the product the 'gold partners' are still useless but the SAP help desk is just a joke. The help 'portal' is just a door to a void, the responses are very tardy, and the majority of the points they raise have already been answered by me in previous communications to the same staffer. Obviously they don't read your replies.
I have already advised one client away from purchasing this product and I cannot see how in good conscience I could ever recommend BOP (or SAP) to any client in the future. Cognos is good, but IBM has no mainframe finance package; so I think that Oracle and Hyperion Planning are probably going to be the way of the future now.

Can w use rsync for Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release12 ?

Hi ,
One of our customer has implemented Oracle EBS R12 (12.0.6) on HP-UX (IA).
Database Tier on a Two Node Oracle Database 10g R2 RAC
Application Tier on Two Node using Shared APPL_TOP with Load Balancer.
They want to implement DR site using Oracle Data Guard (RAC to Non-RAC).
I was referring to Note: 452056.1 +( Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 12 on Database Release 10gR2 - Single Instance and RAC )+.
In this note its mentioned that:
If you wish to synchronize your concurrent manager log and out files between production and standby, you need to create folders matching to the APPLCSF environment variables for each others......................... For example, set up an rsync job similar to the below example in cron, to run every few minutes.
Can we use rsync for Production systems without any issues? Customer is concerned about using freeware on their Production systems.
Rgds,
Thiru.

Business Objects Planning Database Upgrade

I have attempting to upgrade Business Objects Planning from version 11.2 to 11.6. The upgrade appears to run successfully, however, when I attempt to start the Planning Application Services, the service fails to start up, stating the current DB version is less than the working version. I have spoken to our consultant, who stated he knew nothing of any changes that must be made to the database. The first portion of the error log is copied below. I have tried an incremental step of upgrading from 11.2 to 11.5 and have received the same error. What must I do to configure the database either before or after the upgrade?
Application is set up as single server.
OS is windows server 2003
Database is Oracle 10.2.0.4.
Database user is SRCAdmin, and is an owner of the db.

hi Santhosh,
you may be able to use the query builder tool to do this.
BusinessObjects Query builder - Basics
if you need further info on using this particular tool let me know & i'll move your question to the bi platform space.
you can also look into 3rd party tools such as rpt inspector which may be able to do this.

*Thank you and Kindest regards

Hi,
Basically, there is no difference. Till the version 7.0, it was called business planning and consolidation. From 7.5 ,its called business objects planning and consolidation.

On another note, we currently running Planning 11.10 on a Sql server 2000 sp4 back-end. Does anybody know if it's ok to simply upgrade this to Sql Server 2005 with out any changes? Any documentation, notes, etc are greatly appreciated also. Thanks!

CTM Continuous Planning must have 24 hr. utilization for Resources

I am trying to generate a CTM plan using Continuous planning and SNP type sources of supply.
I find that the process only allows resources that have 24 hour utilization.
Any Breaks, or less hours per day will generate an error in planning.
If I set the utilization to less than 100%, CTM will still generate orders for the full 24 hours.
So, the capacity of the resource will be exceeded.
I am wondering if there is a way to allow CTM planning to plan with reduced time per day in planning.
Regards,
Roger Weinberg

Hi Roger,
I think that this is due to the fact that you use SNP source of supplies since there modes are defined on a daily basis, you can see that in master data check from CTM. Could you expand the nodes for sources of in-house production and share a screenshot in this thread with us?
What kind of error do you have from CTM run?
Best regards,
Cyrille.

Business Continuity features available in ASA-5585-x

Hi,
in Data Center environment using only one ASA-5585-x, what kind of business continuity features, a single 5585-x offers or can be configured to keep the business running, in case the firewall got failed.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
I am not sure if I understood the question completely.
I am not really sure how any configuration on the device can help you if the actual device fails completely.
With regards to the hardware I think only the high end model with SSP-60 comes by default with 2 PSUs while others come with 1 PSUs though you can install a second PSU to the units and in this way provide some redundancy in the event of power failure though that naturally depends on other factors than the ASA alone.
To my understanding it is also possible to set up the single ASA 5585-X unit with dual SSPs. I have not had to set up such an environment so I am not sure how it exactly works. I am not sure how they handle together. I can't seem to find the document I was once reading about this. But I would imagine that this could provide redudancy to the firewall setup.
Then there is also Clustering ASAs (not same as Failover pair) units but again this naturally requires additional hardware and is something I have not setup up myself.
Then there is naturally configuring 2 identical ASA 5585-X units in Failover pair (Active/Standby or Active/Active) to provide redudancy in case of hardware failure.
We have some less critical environments set up with single ASA5585-X units and we naturally dont guarantee the same availability for those services as with setup where we have 2x ASA5585-X units in Failover. We do have replacement units for these and can naturally get replacements otherwise also.
