HI,Can anybody pls explain me, while extracting database table from sap-r/3

HI,Can anybody pls explain me, while extracting database table from sap-r/3 to sap-bw using GENERIC DATA SOURCE it will ask us Name of the APPLICATION COMPONENT what does it means?

Application Component is a collcetion of tightly coupled S/W component. You can think of it is like folder, where all the related S/W will be put in. Like MM will have all the DS related to MM.

Can SCAN be used for non 11gR2 databases ?

I am in the processes of database consolidation phase, where in I am consolidating 15 server to a 6 node single Grid for RAC , non -RAC & RAC one node.
I have non -RAC standalone database on NFS mount , visible on all the 6 nodes , idea is to be able to start the db from any node I like for maintenance which I can do with RAC & RAC ONE NODE.
I am planning to run SCAN on 3 node , but the question is, can I use SCAN listener for all the databases ?.
Currently started with a 2 node cluster where I have 11gR2 and couple of RAC one nodes and a 10g rac .
I am able to point to scan LISTENER and able to connect to 10g db , to me SCAN looks very pomissing for our kind of environment where db's can run on any node with out impacting client changes.
Before I present this to the management which I am planning to do This Thursday ( big day for me as I am projecting to save quite a bit of money ).
I don't want to push some thing that's not going to work , even thoug I can prove it now that it works.
And more importantly I have not see a document in google or ORACLE support that says I can nor a sign that any one using for non 11gR2.
How is this SCAN compared to OID or SUN OPEN DS ?

Hi,
generally, SCAN can be used for 10g databases and you discovered the first half: for 10g databases you will have to modify the REMOTE_LISTENER entry for each 10g database instance to point to the SCAN listeners (as opposed to pointing to the remote local listeners, which is the default in 10g). You could even have the databases registers themselves with SCAN and the remote listeners, if you wanted to... It's more or less a matter of configuration. But for simplification reasons, I will stick to the case where you have your 10g databases register with the SCAN listeners only.
Now the other half is the client and the client configuration. An 11g Rel. 2 client configured for RAC would have a TNSNAMES entry that has only one address line for the RAC databases. The host entry in this one address line should point to the SCAN (the SCAN name is ideally resolved in DNS). A 10g client configured for RAC would have as many address lines in the TNSNAMES as you have nodes in the cluster.
The 10g client SCAN configuration would then be in the middle so to speak: You would have 3 address lines in your TNSNAMES, in which each host entry would resolve to one SCAN address (I assume you will use the recommended default of 3 SCAN IPs). If you choose, you can have a name resolution for each of your SCAN IPs, but this would not be required. Now, why would you do it this way? Because this configuration will always work and does not make you dependent on certain functionality that your DNS server may or may not offer.
For the remaining questions: SCAN is a DNS entry resolving one name to more than one (typically 3) IP addresses. OID is short for Oracle Internet Directory, which is a complete LDAP server. And you are right that there is no document how to configure 10g clients for SCAN from Oracle yet. However, there is a quite good document on SCAN on otn.oracle.com/rac, but I am sure you are aware of it already.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

Transaction Isolation Level to Read UnCommited in Non OLTP Database

HI,
We are having a database which for NOT OLTP process. That is OLAP DB. Operation on that DB is only Select and (Incremental Insert - FOR DWH ) not Update/Delete and we are performing ROLAP operations in that DB.
By Default SQL Server DB isolation Level is READ COMMITTED.AS Our DB IS OLAP SQL Server DB we need to change the isolation level toRead Uncommited. We google it down but We can achive in
Transaction level only by SET isoaltion Level TO Read UNCOMMITED
or ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON or READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
Is there any other way if we can Change the Database isolation level to READ uncommitedfor Entire Database?, insteads of achiving in Transaction Level or With out enabling SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON or READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
Please use Marked as Answer if my post solved your problem and use Vote As Helpful if a post was useful.
Please use Marked as Answer if my post solved your problem and use Vote As Helpful if a post was useful.

Hi,
My first question would be why do you want to change Isolation level to read uncommitted, are you aware about the repercussions you will get dirty data, a wrong data.
Isolation level is basically associated with the connection so is define in connection.
>> Transaction level only by SET isoaltion Level TO Read UNCOMMITED or ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON or READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
Be cautious Read UNCOMMITED and Snapshot isolation level are not same.The former is pessimistic Isolation level and later is Optimistic.Snapshot isolation levels are totally different from read uncommitted as snapshot Isolation level
uses row versioning.I guess you wont require snapshot isolation level in O:AP DB.
Please read below blog about setting Isolation level Server wide

Can I join the oracle and mssql database together?

Hi,
Did someone know how to join the table from two different platform database? I need to join oracle table with Mssql table in the select statement. Is possible to do so or any hints out there?
Thanks
Daron

Hi,
Definitly yes, Oracle and MSSQL are two different products and there are unsupported datatypes exists in MSSQL server. Except few instances, you can go ahead and join in one single query provided if you have database link.

Errors while performing non-Unicode database export

Hi,
I am exporting of a non-unicode database (to perform a unicode conversion). The export has completed without any problems, but I frequently got the following messages in logfile.
Error 1- UMGCOMCHAR read check skip, no data found; probably old SPUMG
Error 2- enviornment variable I18N_POOL_WIDTH is not set. Checks are active
Error 3- I18N_NAMETAB_TIMESTAMPS not in env: checks are ON (Note 738858)
My query is that
1- Are these above 3 errors an issue.
2- When I import already exported files into a unicode database, will it cause any problem or loss of data.
3- What is the fix to this issue.
Points to be awarded for any kind of small help.
Thanks

Depending on the data that you have in your non-unicode database, potentially data expansions or data loss may occur.
Data expansions
For example, a 1 byte character in a VARCHAR2(1) column may expand to 2 bytes or 3 bytes in a Unicode (UTF8) database; hence you may need to re-define you scheme prior to importing the data into your new Unicode database.
Data Loss
This happens only if you have invalid characters inside your non-unicode database. For example, you may have some 8-bit non-ASCII characters inside your US7ASCII database, during export these characters will be converted to some replacement characters (?).
However you can use the character set scanner (csscan) to scan your source database to detect both of the above scenarios. Please visit the Globalization Support section of OTN for more info - http://technet.oracle.com/tech/globalization/content.html

Connecting to oracle 12c multitenant database

My question, using coldfusion 11 enterprise datasource gui,
how do you connect to oracle 12c multitenant database,
when you need to log into a pluggable database, beneath
the container database?
What's the connection string, or is it even possible to connect(?) because earlier versions of oracle
didn't use multitenant architecture, you just make a user/password,
grant connect privileges, and connect.
Using Oracle Linux 6.5 64bit.
This is assuming I can connect to the oracle CDB (container database) and PDB (pluggable database) from the shell using sqlplus.

Peoplesoft convert Oracle non-unicode database to unicode database

I am following doc 1437384.1 to convert a Peoplesoft database from non-unicode database to unicode database
I use the following export statement (as user PS)
SET NO TRACE;
SET OUTPUT output_file.dat;
SET NO DATA;
EXPORT *;
And the following import statement (as user sysadm)
SET NO TRACE;
SET NO DATA;
SET INPUT output_file;
SET LOG log_file;
SET UNICODE ON;
SET STATISTICS OFF;
SET ENABLED_DATATYPE 9.0;
IMPORT *;
Before I do the datapump import, I am comparing the objects
SQL> select object_type, count(*) from dba_objects where owner = 'SYSADM' group by object_type order by 1 asc;
OBJECT_TYPE COUNT(*)
INDEX 33797
LOB 2775
TABLE 28829
TRIGGER 9

on oracsc63 (targetdb):
SQL> select object_type, count(*) from dba_objects where owner = 'SYSADM' group by object_type order by 1 asc;
OBJECT_TYPE COUNT(*)
INDEX 23748
LOB 2170
TABLE 19727
I don't have the same number of object. When I do the import this means that around 10000 tables will not have the UTF-8 format.
Any ideas how I can solve this? How has experience with this peoplesoft conversions?

Can't run non-UNICODE-DbSl against UNICODE database

Hi everyone. I get this error during the update of Solution Manager 7.1 SPS4 (dual stack) to SPS10. It is a green install. This happens during the
phase PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP! Of the ABAP stack. Step 5.2. I do not see a lot of people with this problem, so I assume it is something I am doing wrong, as it is my first time using the tool SUM.
Details of the system:
Solution Manager 7.1 SPS4
Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 64 bit SP1
Central installation type with all components on
the same host
Kernel level 600
Here is what I have done so far:
Downloaded the media as described in the installation
guide.
Worked my way through the install using the
Software Provision Manager 1.0
Updated the Kernel from level 401 to 600, by
copying the files from the download folder to the F:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64
folder. This is the folder that is assigned to the DIR_CT_RUN parameter.
I start the STARTUP.BAT file in the SUM folder.
I then start the SUM GUI and run through the
steps and in step 3 I map the Stack configuration file (XML) to one listed in
the folder “51047130\DATA” called “SPS10_stack.xml”
Then I
get to 5.2 where the system stops with this error:
Severe error(s) occurred in phase PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP!

Connect PostgreSQL to Oracle 10g through ODBC: can't read all_tables

Oracle 10g is not able to read the database table names (all_tables and all_objects, es. select * from all_tables@hspostgresodbc) from PostgreSQL using ODBC (v. 08.01.0200). This functionality is essential to be able to use Oracle Warehouse Builder and import external database definitions (heterogeneous services).
However, Oracle (SQL*Plus) is able to retrieve records when the table name is stated in the SQL query (es. select * from my_table).
The problem seems to be specifically with the PostgreSQL ODBC because Oracle is able to read schemes from other databases through ODBC. Ive done some tests with Access dbs just to be sure that the problem is not with my system (Windows XP SP2).
The problem appears both with ANSI and UNICODE PostgreSQL drivers.
Any suggestion of how workaround this problem?
thanks in advance,
Raoni

Dear all,
Ive tried different tracing levels with out success. The log file does not seem to be created by Oracle.
Looking closer to the debug and comm logs from the driver 8.01.0200, Ive found out that the problem was generated after a table wasnt found (the driver seems to search for the all_tables table, and just afterwards to query the scheme pg_catalog). In this case the all the following queries returned with the error ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block. Maybe this problem is related with the bug [#1000641] http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1000641&group_id=1000125&atid=538
Following the Postgres odbc developers suggestion, Ive installed the psqlODBC v 08.02.0002 and Ive got a completely different result.
As before, the simple query select * from my_table@hsodbc returns the result using SQL*Plus clearly faster than before.
Doing the query select * from all_tables@hsodbc the result is OK (the name of 56 tables) but the process is very slow and burdensome. The file paging memory in the machine running Oracle and the SQL*Plus jumps from the normal 700 MB to 1.7 GB, and the query takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Also the 1.7 GB remains allocated and the query process halted in PostGreSQL even after the on screen result of the query. The memory is freed and the process terminated after the logging out SQL*Plus.
Probably as result of this memory explosion, the system runs out of memory and Oracle Warehouse Builder selecting data base link -> schema, after some minutes get an error similar to: cant read from memory address XXXXX
All those test where done with PostGreSQL 8.0.1 (on Linux Suse 9.0) and Oracle 10g (Windows XP SP2).
To be sure that the problem was not related to the PostGreSQL version, we updated the server to the 8.1.3 (running in Linux Suse 9.0 with psqlODBC v 08.02.0002 ) and OWB couldnt see any table as before and doing Select * from all_tables@hsodbc weve got the message:
ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from HSPG
no rows selected
On the other hand, with the same configuration as before (Oracle 10g under Windows XP SP1, psqlODBC v 08.02.0002) but with PostGreSQL 8.1.3 under Windows XP SP1, OWB can read table names (same tables imported from Linux PostgreSQL) but not all_tables (a minor problem, because what is important for us is to make OWB work with PostgreSQL).
The encoding for all DBs is UTF8.
Any ideas of where could be the problem?
regards,
R.

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is now available!

Oracle Database Migration Assistant for Unicode (DMU) is a next-generation GUI migration tool to help you migrate your databases to the Unicode character set. It is free for customers with database support contracts. The DMU is built on the same GUI platform as SQL Developer and JDeveloper. It uses dedicated RDBMS functionality to scan and convert a database to AL32UTF8 (or to the deprecated UTF8, if needed for some reasons). For existing AL32UTF8 and UTF8 databases, it provides a validation mode to check if data is really encoded in UTF-8. Learn more about the tool on its OTN pages.
There is a new Database Migration Assistant for Unicode. We encourage you to post all questions related to the tool and to the database character set migration process in general to that forum.
Thanks,
The DMU Development Team

HI there!
7.6.03 ? Why do you use outdated software for your migration.
At least use 7.6.06 or 7.7.07 !
About the performance topic - well, you've to figure out what the database is waiting for.
Activate time measurement, activate the DBanalyzer with a short snapshot interval (say 120 or 60 seconds) and check what warnings you get.
Also you should use the parameter check to make sure that you don't run into any setup-induced bottlenecks.
Apart from these very basic prerequisites for the analysis of this issue, you may want to check
SAP Note 1464560 FAQ: R3load on MaxDB
Maybe you can use some of the performance features available in the current R3load versions.
regards,
Lars
p.s.
open a support message if you're not able to do the performance analysis yourself.
