Cannot logon to a new instance with SAP*

We installed a ECC60 but unfortunatelu we loose the psw used during sapinst.
THis psw has been used for all the users, included the SAP* and DDIC* users.
Now the installation is finished but we are not able to logon in SAP.
We deleted the rows for SAP* in USR02 and USR01, but the system continue to refuse the logon with psw 'PASS' for SAP*.
We restarted the Oracle instance too but nothing changed.

Cannot even create a new VM with a blank hard disk in SCVMM 2012 R2

In addition to finding the p2V capability inexplicably removed from Scvmm R2, and a number of other issues I have been having, I now cannot even create a new VM with a blank hard drive in SCVMM.
"Unknown Error"

If you applied an Update Rollup, then every component of SCVMM needed that UR applied, even the workstation where you are running the cmdlets.
Also, if Windows Update automatically applied the updates, they might be piece meal partly implemented across the SCVMM Server, any required database scripts that need to be manually run, and management workstations.

Cannot start BW or HANA instances in SAP Management console

Hi,
I created instance of "SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP5 incl. SAP Business Objects BI 4.1 SP2 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7". When I'm trying to start SAP BW or SAP HANA instances in "SAP Management console" via remote desktop connection I receive an error message :
"WebService error: 21 The operation timed out" / "The RPC server in unavailable".
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi,
See note: 535532
Mid way through the note it says:
You can then register the SAP J2EE Engine as a windows-service by using the SAP J2EE Engine Config Tool. Open a command prompt and change to the directory <J2EE Engine installation directory>configtool and run configtool.bat or start this tool via your Start-Menu "Tools->Config Tool" of the J2EE Server entry. Select at the left navigation area of this tool the entry "cluster/ server" the checkbox "Enabled" at the tabstrip "NT Service". Apply these settings by clicking on "File->Apply" at the menu. Do the same with the entry "cluster / dispatcher".
After you have finished these steps you can register now the J2EE Engine as a windows service.
Start service.exe, which is also located in the directory
<J2EE Engine installation directory>configtool. It works with three
parameters:
Service.exe u2013install u2013 the service(s) is (are) registered as NT/2000 Service(s). For each specified cluster node, a separate service is generated. All services have startup mode automatic. To start the service(s), open the Control Panel ¨Services folder. Find the service in the list of available services (for example: SAP J2EE Server 1, SAP J2EE Dispatcher 1, SAP J2EE Server 2, and so on). Select it, and choose u201CStartu201D on the right-hand side. No u201CStartup Parametersu201D are needed for the service to run. The system starts the particular J2EE Engine 6.20 node in background mode. It can be used and administered as usual. The only difference is that the server does not run in a console window.
There may be other notes along these lines.
You should also check any notes on the setup of SAP in MSCS cluster, as it will contain instructions for registering the services.
Hope this gives you a pointer in the right direction.

Cannot connect to remote SSRS instance with SSMS

I recent installed a named instance of SSRS 2005 on a remote server. The server has a side by side install of SSRS 2000 and SSRS 2005, with the SSRS 2005 being a named instance. The server also has SSL and MS Sharepoint Portal Server installed.
When I try and connect to the SSRS 2005 instance with my client install of Mangement Studio, I get the error message:
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish a trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. (System.Web.Services)
Additional Information: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure. (System)."
Obviously, this is a SLL issue, but, not being a security guru, I have no clue on how to fix this. I do know the certificate is valid, not expired and properly working. Both installs of SSRS are set up using the SSL certificate. Also, I am not connecting to SSIS with Management Studio, as I heard there is a bug connecting to both SSRS and SSIS at the same time.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!
Jeff

I know this is an old topic, but I just had a similar issue on SSRS 2008R2 and trying to connect to it with SSMS 2008R2.
The SSRS is using a self-signed certificate. The problem then is how to allow SSMS to accept this untrusted certificate.
I found success with the following steps in the SSMS connection dialogue:
Server Type: Reporting Services
Server name: the exact server name on the certificate does not appear to be required (e.g., "localhost" is fine for a local connection)
On the Options>Connection tab, check
Always Use SSL
On the Options>Additional Connections Parameters
tab, enter the following text:
encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true
Click Connect and you should connect without any further certificate trust issues
for that session. Note that these steps must be repeated each time a new connection is made between SSMS and SSRS.

New instances of SAP BO by XML input

Hi, experts,
          Is it possible to input new instances to a Standard SAP BO by using XML input of Service Integration?
          I am trying but still can't figure it out.
          If the input is possible, please share me some documentation or blog posts.
          Or any other tips. Every help is appreciated.
Best Regards,
May T.
ps.This is a little bit urgent, please help.

Cloning a new instance with old data

I have a instance on Windows which is not functioning as many of the .exe and .dll files (including those in FND_TOP, FNDLIBR.exe also) have been deleted and relinking is failing with serious adrelink errors as i described in the thread Re: relinking fails
I tried a lot of solutions to overcome the relink issue but could not.
now instead of wasting further time on this, what I am planning is that I can backup all the files on DB and Apps Tiers on an external drive, reinstall the Windows, Cygwin and MS Visual Studio and clone the instance back. I have not backed up the instance before patching because its a Sandbox Test instance used without any strict protocols.
Will this work ? As many executables and dll files are missing from the Apps Tier, will the cloning be successful ?
or can I copy the effected Product Tops from some other instance ?
or can I just copy the whole Apps tier from some other instance and clone it with the existing database. I doubt that will work because these file versions and other information of the apps tier is stored in some database tables and using database of one instance with the apps tier of another instance can cause serious mismatch issues.
please suggest me the best workaround possible for this. I can't afford to loose any data.
Thanks.

Hi,
Will this work ? As many executables and dll files are missing from the Apps Tier, will the cloning be successful ?If you have issues with the current instance, then do not expect cloning to work. You better fix the relink issue, then clone this instance.
or can I copy the effected Product Tops from some other instance ?I would not recommend this as you may not be able to track what products have changed. However, you may give it a try and see if it helps.
or can I just copy the whole Apps tier from some other instance and clone it with the existing database. I doubt that will work because these file versions and other information of the apps tier is stored in some database tables and using database of one instance with the apps tier of another instance can cause serious mismatch issues.As you said, this will not work.
Thanks,
Hussein

New LinkId with "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise" database type. Did anybody have such experience?

In PAS tool, when creating a new LinkId, in the drop-down choice with database types there is an option to choose "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise". What does it mean to have such a source?
If I choose this option, will I be able to refer to SAP BusinessObjects universe objects? Or how this is different from typical dabase as source?

Hi, the BOE LinkID option is no longer supported in SSM 10 and 10.1. Please refer to SAP note 2021613.

Photoshop Elements V12.1 crashes when trying to save file. Mac OS 10.6.8 on MacBookPro. App has worked before. Cannot even save a new file with a simple change.

How to bring Photoshop Elements V12.1 back to working condition. Tried shutting down MacBookPro. Starting up. Launch Elements. Open a new file. Add text. Save file. App crashes. This is repeatable with different attempts. The app is useless at this point. Any ideas?

Well, FWIW, PSE 12 isn't supposed to be compatible with 10.6, although the editor does work for most people.
Go to the editor's preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

Restore a database in a new instance with different name

Hello, I need restore a database in a different server. I have a backup of 01-Jan-2008 on tape on DataProtector and I need to restore in another server in order to extract some information for a datawarehouse, I need restore with a name different because on that server we have a standby database. The both servers are HP ia64 and have Unix. I have installed Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 EE. I read the Oracle RMAN Advanced but the process is for duplicate the database, I need restore a backup from 01-Jan-2008. Can you help me please. What steps should I run. Thanks for your answer.
Ruben Nieto
DBA

Hi Ruben Nieto,
Can you check on the target if the backup pieces are still registered in the controlfile?
< connect target /; >
< list backup completed before 'to_date('2009-01-02:00:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS')'; >
If no information is available:
1) "I can't use the same name for the database." -> excludes a restore/recover on the standby server.
2) "how can I restore the database whitout catalog in other server" -> excludes a duplication to new name.
If you want to keep it simple find a third HP ia64 machine where you can mirror your production environment and restore the complete backup set and recover the database keeping the name of the target.

Tycho

Hi DianaWeb,
It's glad to hear that your problem is resolved by changing the windows authentication into mixed authentication and use 'sa' user, namely an SQL Server authentication.
I believe the user name and password in the Netbean are for SQL Server Authentication to connect to SQL Server. The windows authentication you typed is not a valid SQL Server Authentication, that was why the connection failed.
In any case, if you want your J2EE project connects to SQL Server using Windows authentication(credentials of the user running Tomcat/Jboss where your application is deployed). Just build your JDBC URL like this:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;integratedSecurity=true;
See
Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp?
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Need to build new instance in sync with PROD instance.

Hi,
I need to build a test instance at my location which should be in sync with customer's PROD instance. I was given backup of ad_bugs,ad_applied_patches tables. Customer is not ready for clone due to security reasons.
This TEST instance will be used by our development people.
To build a test instance, i prepared the action plan, Just i want to check with you people once again.
1) building a new instance with rapid clone. I will keep same licencing, characterset,languages.
2) I will start applying one bye one patches.
Is this correct way or any other smarted way of doing the same activity.
Regards
SR.
activity.

By perfroming all the steps you describe, you are in effect doing a clone THE HARD WAY. Is there specific security concerns regarding data preventing you from using Rapid Clone? If so, there may be Oracle API's to resolve that.
I highly recommend convincing your customer that Rapid Clone is the way to go. You may never get everything in synch and it will be difficult to identify, internal id's likely won't. I also don't believe the method you propose is supported.
IMHO, Rapid Clone from prod is a requirement to support any SDLC e-biz installation.

Crytal Integration with SAP BW

Need help.
I have read some links at SDN, like Getting started link on BO and also [http://www.businessobjects.com/product/packages/] to understand do we have to buy any additional licenses to use Crytal reports with my SAP BI 70?
1) We already own Crystal Enterprise. We are using for Non SAP Data
2) I remember to see SAP's integration kit in BW 3.5 and toolset to allow creating Crystal Reports on BW Queries. Also remember as SAP Customer we have access to create 10 queries even when we do not have Crystal License.
3) Since we have Crystal Enterprise already, do we need to buy additional Licenses for using it for SAP BW.
My question is limited to Crytal because SAP had some content development relationship with Crystal before.
BusinessObjects XI Integration Kit for SAP wiill certainly will allow it but is it really needed for Crystal Reports?
Can some one clarify?

hi pankaj,
Integration of SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0
Use
You can integrate a number of objects and applications of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 5.0.
SAP EP 5.0 includes the following objects:
Applications are designated as Services in the Enterprise Portal.
With the integration of roles, the role migration from all services automatically creates External Services, as long as the services have not been saved in the BEx Web Application Designer as iViews. External services are displayed in the portal as applications that fill an entire page.
iViews are services that encompass an entire page in the portal. A portal page can consist of several iViews from different systems and sources (for example, the Web).
iView files are files with the ending .ivu that include a description of the iView in XML. You can import IView files without direct role migration into the portal.
Prerequisites
You have made the necessary settings in SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0. You can find more information under Making Settings for SAP BW 3.5 and SAP EP 5.0.
Features
You can use the following BW services in the SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0:
·        BEx Web application
·        BEx Web Application As an iView
·        BEx Web application as an iView file
·        BW query
·        BW workbook
·        Crystal Report
The following options are available for integration:
·        BW services integration using roles with the help of role migration
For more information, see Integration Using Roles.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using the function Publish ® In the Enterprise Portal 5.0 as an iView in the BEx Web Application Designer
For more information, see Integration Using iViews.
·        Integration of BEx Web applications using Create as External Service in the Portal
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® iViews ® Java iViews ® Creating Java iViews ® Creating Java iViews for BEx Web Applications.
·        Integration of BW services using the iView Wizard in the portal
For more information, see Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard .
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal. For more information, see Integration of BW Components into the Portal.
Integration Using Roles
Use
You can save all of the BW services supported by the Portal - except for the iView files in the BW system. By using role migration you can integrate these BW services quickly and easily into the portal.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP5.0 SP6 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Roles and SAP Systems ® Migration of SAP Roles to the Enterprise Portal ® Using Migrated Services to Roles and Worksets.
Features
The migration logs are usually stored under ...irj
esourcesSAPMigration.
The location of the irj directories is dependent on the J2EE Server.
Checking Migration:
You can check the migration via Content Admin ® Roles. You can use Preview to execute the migrated services both in the View Areaand in the Edit Area. If you have assigned a role to a user, you can check the total role completely.
Integration Using iViews
Use
The integration of the BW system and the portal with iViews is possible by using the role migration and the import of iView files. iViews are structured in the portal in channels.
Features
Role migration
With role migration, the iViews contained in the BW role are created in the iView server, where a separate channel is created for each role migrated from the BW system. The channel receives the name of the migrated BW role automatically from the system.
You can view the migrated iViews in the portal in the iView editor by using Content-Admin ® iViews. Select the name of the channel there.
If the iViews already exist in the portal, they are neither deleted nor overwritten. You can remove the iViews manually by using Edit ® Delete.
Import of iView files
BW iViews are in the portal Java iViews.
       1.      Therefore, choose the category Java iViews before the import.
       2.      In the iView editor under Content-Admin ® iViews, choose the Import function.
iViews are currently only supported in one language (English).If the English language is not maintained for an iView, then a technical name is created from the logical system and from the BW template ID.
You can change the texts for iViews using Content Admin ® iViews. Select an iView and choose Edit.
In addition, note that with BEx Web applications under Content Admin ® iViews ® Edit on the Load tab page, the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server has to be activated.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
For the display of iViews in the portal, the assignment of iViews to the portal pages and their assignment to roles is necessary.
Assigning iViews to pages
       1.      Under Content-Admin ® Pages, choose the New function to create new pages in the portal.
       2.      Under the Content tab page, select the iViews you want.
If necessary, you need to change the Display selection to All or Not Selected to select new iViews.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Pages ® Defining the Page Content (Content tab).
Assigning pages to roles
       1.      Before a page is able to be viewed by a user, you have to assign it to a role.
       2.      Under Content-Admin ® Roles, select a role for editing and choose Edit.
       3.      Under View Area ® Show, select the Pages entry.
       4.      Select a page and choose Add to add it to a role.
If necessary, select the file as Is Entry Point, so that the page is then able to be viewed.
The option Mark first-level folders as entry point means that the file is valid on the highest level in the role as the point of entry. This selection causes assigned users to this role to receive this file, displayed in the initial navigation bar.
You can also restrict this setting subsequently with the help of Content Admin ® Roles for the specific file.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles ® Role Maintenance ® Creating Roles and Assigning Contents ® Assignment of Content Objects to Roles.
Assigning roles
Afterwards, you have to assign the particular role to the user.
You can find additional information in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® User Management ® Assignment of Users and Groups to Roles.
Check
To check iViews in the portal according to the assignments described above, you need to call up the portal again.
Calling up the Enterprise Portal is possible by using the URL http:///sapportal.
See also:
You can find additional information about Roles and Role Migration in the Enterprise Portal documentation in the SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com) ® SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Enterprise Portal ® EP 5.0 SP5 ® Administration Guide ® Roles.

Integrating BW Services Using the iView Wizard
Use
In addition to the integration of iViews using role migration, you can also use the iView wizard in the portal to integrate iViews into the portal.
Procedure
Call up the iView wizard using Content-Admin ® iViews.
As the type, choose Java.
Choose New iView.
On the Info tab page, specify a Unique Name and an iView Title.
On the Load tab page, choose the iView Load Method Bypass iView Server.
On the Java tab page, choose BW Web Application as the application type.
Choose Next.
Select the BW system from the dropdown box.
Specify the BW Query String.
Choose Finish.
Choose Add.
The BW Query String is the part of the BEx Web application URL that is found after the question mark, for example, ?cmd=ldoc&template=0Query_template.
You obtain the query string.
in the BEx Web application designer:
Choose Web Template ® Open to open the Web template for the BEx Web application you want.
Select the Web template from your history, your favorites, or your rolls by double clicking on it.
In the Web application designer, choose Publish ® Copy URL in Clipboard.
in the Web application executed on the Web
Note that the Web application has to be in its initial status. That means that you have not yet navigated there, but rather that you only displayed the Web application on the Web.
In the context menu for Internet Explorer, choose Properties.
Select the Address (URL) and choose Copy in the context menu.
You now have the URL on the clipboard and can then use the query string for entry in the iView wizard.
Note that you have to specify the correct stylesheet when creating iViews manually.
Choose under Content-Admin ® iViews next to the Edit iView.
On the Java tab page, select the BIReports30 stylesheet under Look and Feel Theme Part for BW Reports.
Using System Configuration ® Styles, you can edit stylesheets that each user can then select themselves using Personalize: Portal.
The style editor also contains entries for BEx Web applications under Elements ® Complex Elements.
The modified stylesheets are transferred automatically to the BW system so that the BEx Web Applications are suitably displayed in the stylesheet for the portal.
Check
Under Content Admin ® iViews, you will find next to each iView a Preview link that enables the execution of an iView.
Result
You have now integrated a Web application as an iView into the portal. Before you can display the iView in the portal, you have to assign the iView to a page. The page has to be assigned to your role. See also Integrating Using iViews.
Integration of BW Components into the Portal
Use
The integration of BW contents into the Enterprise Portal ideally takes place using Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser. In some circumstances, you can also integrate other BW components, such as the Administrator Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the Portal.
Features
Calling the Administrator Workbench
The Administrator Workbench is a comprehensive SAP transaction that functions only in connection with a locally-installed SAP GUI for Windows. With a SAP GUI for Windows 6.20, you do not have to log on again if you want to display SAP GUI for Windows transactions on the Web (single sign-on is supported).
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RSA1.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Analyzer
The Business Explorer Analyzer (BEx Analyzer) is an Excel add-in with extensive OLAP functionality in connection with a BW system. In order to use the BEx Analyzer, you have to have the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend installed locally. For technical reasons, the BEx Analyzer opens in a separate window. You do not have to log on again because single sign-on is supported. A SAP GUI for Windows appears in the Enterprise Portal window in the work area.
You can generate the Administrator Workbench in the portal as an external service either using SAP role migration or manually by way of the following steps:
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMX.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling BW Workbooks
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded queries. BW workbooks need the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW Frontend.
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. BW workbooks are suitable for Windows with Excel.
We recommend that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that also run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the Web application context menu as an alternative to a local installation of the BW Frontend if you need to use the functions of Excel. See Functions of the Context Menu and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
SAP role migration automatically generates external services that point to BW workbooks. HERE AND CHECK PATHS
Start the External Service wizard from Content Admin/Roles/Edit Area/External Service and choose Create.
Select the BW system.
Choose SAP Transaction as the application type.
Choose WinGUI as the GUI type.
As the transaction code, enter RRMXP.
Choose Finish to save the external service.
You then have to add the following parameters using Edit since you cannot enter these using the wizard.
The parameter Additional Dynpro Parameters name-value-pairs (n1=v1;n2=v2;... optional allows the workbook ID to be specified (for example WBID=CN24XRCKJ8HDDIZ3CCUTGPF1A).
Under Process first screen automatically?, enter the value True.
You can now assign the External Service to a role.
Calling the Business Explorer Web Application Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Web Application Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Web Application Designer from the Windows start menu.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbpwpub.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Query Designer
The Enterprise Portal is an application that runs on the Web. The BEx Query Designer is a Windows application. It is technically possible to start Windows applications in the Web browser but this is not recommended for security reasons. Instead, you call the Windows application BEx Query Designer from the Windows start menu.
As an alternative to the BEx Query Designer, in a Web environment such as the Enterprise Portal, you can use the BEx Ad-hoc Query Designer to create or change queries. You can insert the Ad-hoc Query Designer into a Web application and integrate it using the role migration, for example, or as an iView into the Enterprise Portal. For more information, see Functions of the Ad-hoc Query Designer.
If necessary, you can create an HTML page on a Web server that contains the link file://C:/Program%20Files/SAP/FrontEnd/Bw/wdbrlog.exe.
Note that the path is dependent on the local installation directory. Single sign-on is not supported.
Calling the Business Explorer Browser
The BEx Browser behaves like the BEx Web Application Designer or the BEx Query Designer.
There is little point in using the BW-specific BEx Browser in a company-wide Enterprise Portal because the basic functionality of the BEx Browser (calling reports) is covered in the Enterprise Portal.

Differences SAP BW 3.5 SAP EP 6.0 & SAP BW 2.x/3.x SAP EP 5
Use of BW Objects in the Enterprise Portal
For the end user, there are no significant differences in the integration between SAP BW and SAP EP as regards the various release combinations. The updates and changes in SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 have no effect on the use of BW objects in the portal. You can find more information on the changes under Differences between SAP EP 5.0 and SAP EP 6.0.
Publishing BW Objects to the Enterprise Portal
There are significant differences in publishing of BEx Web applications in SAP EP 6.0 with SAP BW 3.5 in comparison to integration between SAP BW 2.x/3.x - SAP EP 5.0. Publishing in SAP BW 3.5 is done using the BEx Web Application Designer, BEx Query Designer or the BEx Broadcaster.
In SAP EP 5.0, the SAP BW system (or the SAP BW systems) is maintained in the system landscape, through which a call of BEx Web applications is possible at runtime. In SAP BW 2.x/3.x systems, the SAP Enterprise Portal (or SAP Enterprise Portals) are not maintained. Thus a BW system only has a one-sided connected to a portal. For this reason, the inclusion of BW content must also be done in a separate step in the portal.
In SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW system is also maintained in the system landscape. In addition, one or more SAP Enterprise Portals 6.0 can be entered in the SAP BW 3.5 system. Through deployment of Java components of SAP BW 3.5 into SAP EP 6.0, the SAP BW 3.5 System can access and display contents of the portal. In the BEx Application Designer, assigned portal roles, content from the Portal Content Catalog, and documents and folders from Knowledge Management are displayed in the open and save dialogs. During save, iViews or documents can be created directly from the BEx Web Application Designer or BEx Query Designer without having to take separate steps in the portal. Using Information Broadcasting, documents and links can be generated in Knowledge Management. These documents and links can be visualized using the BEx Portfolio.

DBCA error adding a new instance to a RAC.

Hi all,
I'm facing the following problem:
I'm running Oracle Clusterware & RAC 11.2.0.2 over Solaris SPARC 64.
I've two servers for a RAC. I recently added one new server.
addNode.sh works fine, and I want to add a new instance with dbca. Everything seems to be fine, but when I want to select my database to add the instance dbca runs into the following error:
"Connection to the database cannot be established because the listener could be down. Please make sure that the service is registered with a listener and the listener is up.
Connection to the database failed. Please sure that service "node01-vip:1521:rac1" is registered with the listener, username system has SYSDBA privilege, password is correct and then try again".
My RAC Database is up and running, I run the following command with cluvfy to check database configuration readiness (what should be accomplish, because is running!)
-bash-3.00$ cluvfy stage -pre dbcfg -n node01,node02,node03 -d /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1

Oracle 9i new instance create scripts

Hello,
I have Oracle 9.0.1 installed on a HP-UX 11.0 machine. I created a new instance with Oracle Configuration Assistance when I install the package. I try to create the second instance, DBCA or my database create scripts for Oracle 8i does not work. I received the error message like "The instance is running" type message.
Does any one has a create script for Oracle 9i I can have?
Please help!
Thanks!

Did you change your ORACLE_SID before trying to create a new instance?

Best way to clonse EBS instance with backup.

Hi,
I have scenario as follows.
1) we have taken backup of our instance on 17th Nov. Before backup we never ran adpreclone itself(Reason is just a fresh installation with some patches).
2) Later we have done so many changes to our instance like patching etc..
Now my requirement is i need to create a new instance with the help of backup taken on 17th Nov. Is there any way to clone in this scenario?
Regards
SR.

what adpreclone.pl exactly do ? .Preclone will do the following:
Convert Symbolic links
All symbolic links pointing to a static path will be converted into relative paths
Create templates
Any files under the $ORACLE_HOME that contain system specific information, will be replicated and converted into a template. These templates are placed into the $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/template directory.
Create driver(s)
A driver file, relating to these new templates is created called instconf.drv. This contains a list of all the templates and their locations, and the destination configuration files that these templates will create.
This driver file is called instconf.drv and is placed into directory
$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/driver
For the appsTier, both the 8.0.6 and iAS ORACLE_HOMES will have the appsutil/template and appsutil/driver directories once the preclone stage is completed
For the dbTier, these directories will already exist, but new templates and the new instconf.drv will be added
Please review Oracle Metalink Document: Troubleshooting RapidClone issues with Oracle Applications 11i : Doc ID: Note:364565.1
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:1178967654832204908::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,364565.1,1,1,1,helvetica
The document explains each step of cloning.
