Checklist for DB PROD setup

Hi All,
I am in a brain-freeze-blackout mode today. :(
My boss subcontracted a 3rd party dba service to setup a new PROD database for implementing our apps in another branch.
Then ask me to QA what the dba has done.
Can you give me checklist on how to QA his ( a dba's) works. What do you usually look for in a good database setup?
I know there is docs for this in google, but I can not explain what the word to search.
Thanks a lot,
zxy

Thanks a lot,
zxyfrom a 3rd party DBA I would want comprehensive build doc covering all the good stuff.
Non default config parameters
FRA
Backups with a practical obsoletion duration
EM config
Licence adherence (have you EE or SE) with note of the CPUs, (you may only have SE and he could have put EE in and queried AWR already exposing you to potentialy gazillions in licencing, Ive seen this)
Storage locations
Verify patched to latest 10 cpu.
OS crash survival test
Instance recovery test
I would want that and a few more things in the doc. Id go back and ask for it if I didnt get it. If he finished the build without doc'ing it, Id get them back in to doc it and would hesitate to use them again.

Identity Management Prod Setup

Hi All,
I wanted to design a production architecture for Identity Mgmt setup using latest 11g middleware with implementation of products OID,OAM,OIM .
I am going through all the available documentation but Can somebody help me in understanding the below:
1)Can I place all the application components under the same middleware home (OID,SOA,OIM,Weggate,Access Gate) i,e three to four oracle_homes for OH_IDM1 , OH_IDM2, OH_Web, OH_SOA and configure web logic domains for all of them under the same middleware home . What is the ideal case for a prod configuration
2) Is Installation of Webtier Utilities / Access Gates a mandatory thing for Identity Management Setup
2)Can I use a common database for all metadata schemas (OID,OAM,OIM etc...) . I understood I can but is it an ideal prod configuration
The general assumption is one host for database and another for application but having so many products here, I am looking for helpful suggestions for an efficient desgin .
Your help is greatly appreciated.

We are in the process of building our QA and Prod. box.
Thanks,
SAPIAN

Hi,
As for the case
There is a Preupgrade phase wherein u need to follow the points listed below.
1.Activate all requests in the ODS and Data targets.
2. All Transfer and Update Rules should be activated
3.     All Info Cubes should be activated
4.     Master data consistency [Execute report RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL]
5.     Transport requests [Release transport requests and repairs. No request should be in Modifiable version.]
6.     Deactivate all Process chains
7.     Remove unnecessary BW temporary database objects
8.     Delta Queue should be Empty
9.     Validate the missing indices in DB02
10.     Check Info-Objects Status.[RSRV: extensive check]
11.     Check the status of all support packages (via transaction SPAM)
12. Determine strategy for downtime minimized or resource minimized
13.Using the SAP BW Analysis Tool (transaction RSRV), perform extensive tests on all important SAP BW Objects; ensure their correctness prior to the upgrade.
14. Report ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLE to find double entries in SE38
We have the PREPARE PHASE next.
Followed by post upgrade activities.
Hope it helps.

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage!

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded iTunes for Windows and setup an account. How do I stream a TV show to my TV. I have a Belkin router. My TV has many site Icons, e.g. Netflix, hula etc. from which I can download and watch movies in my Den.

Checklist for Exchange Certificate issues

Checklist for Exchange Certificate issues
1.
Why certificate is important for Exchange and What are Certificates used for
Exchange is now using certificates for more than just web, POP3, or IMAP. In addition to
securing web services, it has also incorporated Transport Layer Security (TLS) for session based authentication and encryption.
Certificates are used for several things on Exchange Server. Most customers also use certificates
on more than one Exchange server. In general, the fewer certificates you have, the easier certificate management becomes.
IIS (OWA, ECP, EWS, EAS, OA, Autodiscover, OAB, UM)
POP/IMAP
SMTP
2.
Common symptoms for
certificate issue
Here we can see three different types of the certificate warning, mainly from the Outlook
side.
a.
Certificate mismatch issue
b.
Certificate trust issue
c.
Certificate expiration issue
3.
Checklists
In this section, checklists will be provided according to the three different scenarios:
Certificate Mismatch Issue
[Analysis]:
This issue mainly occurs because the URL of the web services Outlook tries
to connect does not match the host name in the certificate.
[Checklist]:
Firstly make sure how many host name in your certificate the certificate. Run “Get-ExchangeCertificate | select certificatedomain”.
Secondly, check the web services URLs which Outlook are trying to connect to. Run “Test Email AutoConfiguration”
In this scenario, you need to check the host name for the following services:
Autodiscover
EWS
OAB
ECP
UM
If any of the urls above does not match the one in the certificate, refer to the following article to change
it via EMS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726
1.
Do not forget to restart the IIS service after applying the changes above.
2. Make sure a valid certificate is enabled on the IIS service.
Certificate Trust Issue
[Analysis]:
For the self-signed and PKI-based (Enterprise)
certificates, they are not automatically trusted by the client computer or mobile device, you must make sure that you import the certificate into the trusted root certificate store on client computers and devices. On the other hand, Third-party or commercial
certificates do not have this problem. Most commercial CA certificates are already trusted because the certificate already resides in the trusted root certificate store. Because the issuer is trusted, the certificate is also trusted. Using third-party certificates
greatly simplifies deployment.
[Checklist]:
If it’s an Enterprise CA certificate, manually install the root certificate to the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” folder:
If it is a 3<sup>rd</sup>-party certificate, first remove and reinstall the certificate. Check whether the Windows Certificate Store on the local
client is corrupted. If it still does not work, please contact the third-party CA support to verify the certificate.
Certificate Expiration Issue
[Checklist]:
When a certificate is about to expired, we just need to renew it by referring the following article:
Renew an Exchange Certificate
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332322(v=exchg.141).aspx
To avoid any conflictions, it’s recommended to remove the expired certificate from the certificate store.
[How to set a reminder to alert the administrator when a certificate is about to expired]:
It’s easy to fix the certificate expire issue. But it should be more important to set a reminder before the
certificate expiration. Or there can be a large user impacts.
Generally, the Event ID “^(24|25)$” will appear in Application log when a certificate is about to expire.
If it’s not quite visible, we can refer to the following solution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2011/11/18/certificate-expiration-alerting.aspx
OWA certificate revoked issue
[Analysis]:
IE
includes support for server certificate revocation which verifies that an issuing
CA has not revoked a server certificate. This feature checks for CryptoAPI revocation when certificate extensions
are present. If the URL for the revocation information is unresponsive, IE cancels the connection.
[Solution or workaround]:
1. Contact CA provider and check whether the questioned certificate is in the Revoked List.
2. If not, check whether the certificate has a private key.
3. Remove the old certificate and import the new one.
Workaround:
IE Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Clear the "Check for server certificate revocation"
checkbox.
4.

(Reported previous post with link to SIS package to moderator)
This is not the correct SIS package for the N73. The package shown is for S60 3.2 devices, but the N73 is not S60 3.2, I believe it is S60 3.0.
Most features may work with this SIS, but if you experience strange problems, try using the S60 3.0 version.
But there are no significant difference between 2.5.3 and 2.5.5 with regard to attachments. The only changes were with localization (languages).
At this point, try 2.7.0 which is out now:
http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php
Make sure to pick the right phone on the drop down list. It does matter! There are 4 different packages. This list makes sure you get the right one.
I have seen some issues with attachments not completing that seem to be carrier dependent. You can test this my using Wifi (if possible).

Cross Company code posting is available for recurring payment setup?

Hi All,
I could not find the cross company code field for recurring payment setup with useing T code FBD1.
Vendor is created in paying company code 1000, however, the rent has be booked to cross company code (1001) cost center (2000).
So, while trying to do recurring payment setup, I could not see the field.
I know the alternative option that i can use the "Cost Center(1000)" is assigned to CoCd 1000 and do recurring setup without useing cross company code, later i can post the manual journal for correction (as below), however, I do not want use this option.
Dr/Cr       CoCd                         GL account            Cost Center           Amount
Dr            1001                         Rent account          2000                      XXXXX
Cr            1000                         Rent account          1000                      XXXXX
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi, ok17 is not for cross company,but for CO-FI real time integration.
Ex. you maintained for "RKL     Actual activity allocation" Dr 123 Cr 567
Then while posting activity allocation in CO you'll get posting like Dr 123 Cr 567   (with corresponding CO objects)

Checklist for migration from oracle 9i to oracle 10g DB

Hi all,
My previous DB was Oracle 9i.I want to migrate it to Oracle 10g DB.
So can anybody provide me the checklist for the same ?
Thanks in advance....

It doesn't matter how long this process may take to read the entire upgrade documentation. You are supposed to perform this procedure first on a testing environment prior to perform it against the actual production database, you can take all the time you need to customize trim and tailor the procedure to your particular environment requirements. Don't expect anybody else to provide a shortcut, you will find at the end it will take you more time to correct missing upgrade steps and you will -most probably- have to read much more google references and metalink documents that will size bigger than the upgrade guide.
I suggest you to read through the upgrade document, and don't look for shortcuts. I also suggest you to document issues you may find when performing the upgrade. In my particular scenario I had to deal with an ORA-04030 error, among other things after I performed an upgrade process. You may want to take a look at the not documented Issues I had to face after a production upgrade, and even though I read through the upgrade guide and performed several testing upgrades, there are issues such as user's actual workload that cannot be accurately measured in a testing environment.

Ways to reduce downtime for filling up setup table

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me the step by step process so that i can reduce downtime for filling up setup tables?
I know that setup tables can be filled by considering sales document numbers....but the further steps are not clear with me...........specially with data loadin till PSA and then to ODS/Cube
So plz throw some light on this.......
Regards,
Vaishnavi.

Hi,
You will need to fill the set up tables in 'no postings period'. In other words when no trasnactions are posted for that area in R/3 otherwise those records will not come to BW. Discuss this with end user and decide. Weekends are a general choice for this activity.
You can run them after business hours so that there wont be any transactions, or in the night times or you can do it on week ends so that there is no need to take down time.
Fill the setup tables with already closed values and then fill up again with open values.This will reduce the down time.
Initialize closed periods first in which users wont enter data ( for example in 2007 or 2006), this initializations can be done while users are working. Then the initialize last period at night/weekends.holidays etc.
If you know documents that are in closed periods, and you are sure that these documents can no longer be changed, you can only fill the SetUp tables for these documents or only for these periods, by continuing to post in open periods. You then initialize only for these intervals, delete the setup table, and only then do you fill the setup table with the rest of the documents this procedure can drastically reduce the downtimes of your system.
However, there is a risk that user exits (and in LIS, formulas and conditions) can be used to retrieve documents that are in periods that are already "closed periods".
One more thing what you need to bear in mind is, to check if there are any Scheduled jobs which are updating the transaction tables, which would definitely cause Data Reconciliation Issues.
Try Early Delta Initialization
With early delta initialization, you have the option of writing the data into the delta queue or into the delta tables for the application during the initialization request in the source system. This means that you are able to execute the initialization of the delta process (the init request), without having to stop the posting of data in the source system. The option of executing an early delta initialization is only available if the DataSource extractor called in the source system with this data request supports this.
Extractors that support early delta initialization are delivered with Plug-Ins as of Plug-In (-A) 2002.1.
You cannot run an initialization simulation together with an early delta initialization.
Hope this link may make you clear about Early Delta Initialization
