Hi,
You can find the related information, under the link below;

Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

Hi Gurus
I Need your help Please
I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.
I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.
But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.
I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:
FlexVol saplog
/usr/sap/SID
/usr/sap/trans
/sapmnt/SID
/home/SIDadm
/oracle/SID
/oracle/SID/origlogA
/oracle/SID/origlogB
/oracle/SID/oraarch
/oracle/SID/sapreorg
/oracle/SID/sapbackup
/oracle/SID/saparch
FlexVol sapdata
/oracle/SID/sapdata1
/oracle/SID/sapdata2
/oracle/SID/sapdataN
FlexVol mirrlogs
/oracle/SID/mirrlogA
/oracle/SID/mirrlogB
Thanks and appreciate your help

> I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?
Where did you read that?
> The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?
The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.
The usual process is:
- you contact your hardware vendor
- you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data
- the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup
- the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing
Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.
You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.

What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database?

Dear All,
Can you please help me with the below question?
What are the third party tools available for Encryption in Oracle database? Please let me know if you know their feedback and also licensing/cost information

Why would you spend money to purchase a third-party tool that will be, almost by definition, less secure than the tools inside the product you already own and paid for?
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/pkgs/dbms_crypto.html
But were I to have any to recommend one I would not do so without knowing information you seem to consider unimportant such as:
1. Operating system
2. Database edition and version
3. What type of data needs to be secured
4. What level of security is required

Hi Suresh
Only the latest version of WLP which is WLP 10.3.2 has facility to integrate with Oracle UCM with Adapaters. So make sure that you do have this latest version of WLP 10.3.2. Older versions like WLP 10.3 do not have this provision.
Also I guess when you install and configure this Oracle UCM Adapater and choose above WLP Home, I guess these modules may be added in already installed WLP folders. I checked on my side for WLP 10.3.2 and I could NOT find the modules you mentioned. So most probably you may be missing some installation/configuration stuff from UCM side.
Thanks

Thanks in Advance.

Indranil,
It is not permitted for forum members to send documents to one another.
It is also expected that members will first perform their own research before asking for help. Did you search through SAP Help?

How to configure backup parallel in SAP with oracle database?

Dear SAP,
We need your suggestion on oracle database backup parallel using brbackup, our SAP system run on:
OS: UNIX - SUN Solaris SPARC 10
SAP: ECC 6.0 SR3
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
Our production database are growing rapidly, estimate growing is 2GB/days. Right now we backup our Production using one tape that estimated time to online backup is 4-5hours.
In there future, if we stayed this configuration. It will take long time to backup and restore it's not applicable. That's why we are planning to add more tapes during backup (4 tape parallel).
I read from help.sap, that we can configure this on $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.sap. in parameter:
compress = harware
backup_dev_type = tape
tape_address = (tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4)
tape_address_rew = (tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/88/a2a041a5d4af4db168992639d65d3b/frameset.htm
My question,
If we want to backup parallel using 4 tapes, is this configuration that we need to do (init<SID>.sap) from sap side (DB13)?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Widi

Dear Mark,
Thanks for your help. actually I have one more question:
How do I restore my backup form this 4 tapes, if I'm using parallel backup?
Will the command same like I restore form 1 tape:
example:
brrestore u2013b beczqlnk.ant u2013m full
brrestore u2013a 5371-5372=/oracle/<SID>/oraarch/
Below are the paramter that I will configure:
- tape_address = /dev/rmt/0cbn
- compress = hardware
- backup_dev_type = tape
- exec_parallel = 4
- tape_size = 1600000
- tape_address = (dev/rmt/0mn, /dev/rmt/1mn, ..)
- tape_address_rew = (dev/rmt/0m, /dev/rmt/1m, ..)
Appreciate you help and suggestion on this.
Dear Venkat,
thanks for your suggestion

Usin Oracle RAC for SAP

Hi All,
Can Oracle RAC be used for SAP ECC 6.0 and if so is it recommended?
Thanks and regards.
Iqbal

Did you search a little bit? Check the follwing link here in the SDN:
SAP on Oracle
First line on that page:
"Oracle RAC with SAP is generally available"
SAP does neither recommend an operating system nor a database or any other technology. They either "support it" or "do not support it".
What is the purpose you want to implement RAC? Availibility? Scalability?

Oracle RAC for SAP on Linux and OCFS

We are going to be installing SAP with Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC on Linux RHEL 5.2 and OCFS. The Oracle RAC documentation states:
You must store the following components in the cluster file system when you use RAC
in the SAP environment:
- Oracle Clusterware (CRS) Home
- Oracle RDBMS Home
- SAP Home (also /sapmnt)
- Voting Disks
- OCR
- Database
I'm curious about the requirement of installing the Oracle Home on shared clustered filesystem. In other RAC installations I've built, I installed the binaries on local filesystems on each node. This is to facilitate the concept of rolling patches. With the SAP's requirement, it appears rolling patches are out of the question. Can someone enlighten me on why SAP requires the Oracle Home reside on shared filesystem.
Thanks

We have even put /oracle/SID on OCFS, because the brtools cannot cope with local FS. If you take a backup on node1, then you cannot restore it from node2. Or you could start multiple brconnects at the same time (this is normally prevented with a lock file). Of course you could run all your all your br commands on a dedicated node, but this doesn't fit the RAC idea much.
Just my two cents, of course this does not fully explain, why the ORACLE_HOME has to be shared as well.
Best regards, Michael
Edit: Ahh, now i recall, i really think it is because of the BR*Tools, they need the initSID.sap file in ORACLE_HOME/dbs. This implies that it won't be a big thing to get SAP on RAC running with local ORACLE_HOME's, but that doesn't help a lot as long as SAP does not officially support it...

RAC for SAP

Hi,
Many of the job requirement are asking for Oracle RAC experience on SAP.
Does any one have experience on that.
If so please share their experience.
Few years back I attended course on SAP Basis and as I remember most of the DBA tasks will be done through SAP interface.Not sure how it can be done for a RAC database.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Well, I worked in a shop that used OPS (predecessor to RAC) with SAP, and it did not work out too well, we went back to a single instance configuration . . . . .
I think that OSS has a note on using RAC with SAP, I would start there . . . .
Hope this helps. . . .

Sql Server configuration requirements for SAP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am using Sql server 2005 Enterprise as data store for Sap ecc 6.0.There are certain configuration requirements to be done while installing it so that sapinst.exe (sap installer) is able to use it to create its own DB's.
For eg it requires a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 whereas the default that gets installed is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
Like this there are other requirements which I am not aware of.Most of the docs available on the Internet are talking of ecc 6.0 with Oracle 10.2G which is the most common combination.I am having docs for this combination.
I am installing ecc for the first time.
*I am unable to download docs from sap. marketplace as it requires a login given to certified users or sap purchasers.I am neither.*
Can anyone help me with this.If anyone has ECC 6.0 installation guide with sql server it will be serve my purpose.
Thanks for your efforts.

"Excuse me?
What he is doing is illegal , you know what that means, right? If you don't believe me, read the license that comes on the first installation DVD.
Actually, I even think it's kind of barefaced to ask in the forum of the software vendor for help! I mean, it's like asking in a bank forum how to rob and fraud the bank! You - and many others - may think that it's right and ok to do that. I tell you: it is not. Not for "home use", not for personal use, not at all.
You can use the software available here in the SDN to lean and study, that's why it's there.
If you deal at all with copied software, then just be smart enough to make other people not notice. He can be happy if he's not prosecuted (which would legally be possible)."
Do u understand what is legal or illegal? Have u read the license in full?
The license does not put any limit on the number of users.So if I am using it means that one more user has been added by the license holder.
Therefore there is nothing illegal about it.
It would have unethical (not illegal) if the software is being used for a business purpose other than for which it has been purchased.
Since it being used for training purpose the above does not hold good.
In fact it is SAP who is benefited in the long run bec' after a person learns it technology because he is going to implement it somewhere, for which the concerned user will have to purchase a license.Therefore I am helping SAP to increase its business.
But there are some stupid people who don't understand these things but are ready to shout at the top of their voice thinking themselves to be intelligent.

The step-by-step guide for installing the Oracle Database and Oracle9iAS Portal

All,
I made a step-by-step guide for installing the Oracle 8.1.7 database and Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.1 (HTTP Only) install on a 'clean' Windows 2000 machine. The guide has a screen shot of every single step that I went through to get an installation of the database and Oracle9iAS Portal to work.
Because I left my email in the guide, everyone will be sending me email with questions about their particular install. [What I really wanted was some positive feedback email to show to my manager... hint hint.] As I do not want to troubleshoot everyone's install by email, I started this thread.
Let's start the step-by-step install guide discussion here.
As a start, here is what I did NOT want to do with the guide: I did not want to 'redo' the current Oracle9iAS installation guide. So I did not put any conditions in the guide. This is just what I had to do to take a clean Windows2000 machine (no Oracle software on it) and get it to work. If I keep on adding conditions, eventually I will end up with the installation document.
Also, in the next version (for the Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2) I will probably start over again from scratch as we are planning on addressing some of the issues with the install.
Another thing I plan to do is put the following direct links in:
Oracle9iAS Portal: Troubleshooting Guide
Oracle9iAS Portal: Diagnostics Tool
Oracle9iAS Portal: FAQ
Have a look at the above, as they will answer probably all of your questions... But if not post away!
Thanks,
Rich

We do have installed a Lotus Notes LDAP. Unfortunately, the documentation is company internal in German.
The steps, in general, where:
1) Create physical connection (obviously, you did that)
2) Deploy the XML Descriptor for the LDAP under "UM Configuration => Data Sources"
We used a derivate of the Sun One LDAP Profile.
3) Match the assignement LDAP Group --> EP Role --> EP User via EP user management
4. The user, in our case, is always created in the LDAP first (from a different LDA administration group) and is then visible in the Portal)
I know, this is very generic, but the "magic" is in the XML profile and I haven't seen any documentation about it yet.

The author of the page uses the h2n tool to generate the DNS configuration files. The examples listed are not examples of the actual DNS configuration files like named.conf, etc., but samples of the configuration files to use with the h2n tool. Perhaps the instructions will work if followed more precisely.
