DB Links, transactions and performance

Environment: Multiple 8.1 DBs across multiple servers
We were looking at creating an application architecture that would have a central database (Hub), that would attach to multiple external databaases using database links. Our front-end application would perform all transaction using a library of stored procs in the Hub database. These stored procs would create the appropriate links to the remote DBS, and performs the reads/writes/updates. There are many reasons (political and otherwise) that we are looking at this architecture.
I'm new to Oracle, and specifically DB Links.
Will Oracle handle the transaction integrity if the transaction spanned multiple DBs via links?
Are there any performance issues with this architecture?
Anything else I should know about links?
Note: I have tested the current configuration, and am able to establish the links without problem.

This is a hug topic and you really ought to read the documentation. This is a good place to start:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96521/ds_txns.htm#919
Here are answers to your immediate questions.
(1) Oracle handles data integrity through two-phase commit, which ensures that a given transaction can commit across all affected databases or else it rolls back.
(2) Obviously there are performance issues. The co-ordination for the two-phase commit means that each transaction takes longer to complete. Part of this impact is pure unavoided overhead, the rest is down to the geographical spread of the system and the quality of teh wires connecting your different databases. Also the number of transactions failing increases in proportion to the number of nodes in your distributed system.

Transaction linking, Monitoring and Alerting product

Hi,
I wanted to check if there is any product from BEA Systems which can be used to
capture meta data at different points in a business transaction...The business
process could be a multi hop process...Meta data from one hop to another can usually
be linked with some attributes and some times the linking algorithm can be complex...
We are investigating if there are any products which can be used to capture the
transaction attributes, perform the linking between the meta data at different
hops and also where we can specify some business rules like if we don't have matching
data at some hops for a transaction flow to perform some altering function...So
the product will be doing some transaction monitoring activity...
If anyone has any information about this kind of software please let me know...
Thanks
Surajit

Hi Ralph,
We are facing the same issue is our system. I have checked the specified note and observed that few of the systems had to be updated in Managed System Configuration. I have updated the systems. But, the alerts have not stopped.
Can you please tell me the procedure to resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Help:set up simple test sequence, operator selects particular test then teststand links to part of sequence file and performs test

Hi,
I am extremely new to TestStand, please see question below and offer advice.
I want to set up a simple test sequence.
I want a message to popup on screen that asks the operator which unit of 6(max 10) Units to test(i.e. there are say 6-10 box's to select from).
Then the sequence goes to the particular part of the sequence and performs the test on which ever unit was selected.
What is the best way to do this?
Could i use message popups to do this?and if so what do i need to do link it to the correct part of the sequence file?
Do message popups only allow 6 options to select from?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
   You can do using message popup method. You can ask the user which unit want to execute by inserting message in message expression in message popup step settings.Something like below
"Enter unit number to execute
1. Unit1
2. Unit 2
10. Unit 10"
then check "Enable response text box" from options tab in step settings.When user enters unit number you can get the user entered value by inserting the below statement in post expression of message popup step settings
    Locals.String = Step.Result.Response
    Note : String is a local variable to be defined.
Convert that string in to number and send that output to switch expression there by you can use a sequence call step to call sequence whichever to be executed. (I hope your each unit will be seperate sequence file)
I hope these resolves your problem. If you don't understand let me know so that I can develop a small example and send it to.
Cheers,
krishna

Distributed Transactions and Linked Servers

I'm somewhat of a novice with SQL Server but I'm learning rapidly from an application I'm developing that uses SQL Server very heavily. In conjunction with the development of this application, I have 3-4 systems set up running SQL Server and I am using those
systems to develop the database that will ultimately support the application. I decided to try to use linked servers because I am moving data back-and-forth among the different servers frequently and I ran into some consequences that I wasn't expecting.
I was doing a simple delete query on one of the servers (Delete from TableName Where ...) and I was expecting, of course, that it would only impact the server I was running it on; however, when the query finished after running for a long time, it was apparent
that SQL Server had automatically escalated that simple delete query into a distributed transaction and applied it to all four of the linked servers I had defined. I was totally surprised by that and it took some time to recover the data that was inadvertently
lost on the other servers.
I want to ensure that this doesn't happen again without me expecting it - I think the right way to prevent this from happening is to run the following stored procedure:
EXEC sp_serveroption 'servername', 'remote proc transaction promotion', 'false';
Can someone please verify that this assumption is correct and will prevent SQL Server from automatically creating distributed transactions impacting multiple servers?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that when you connect to a SQL Server database and execute a DELETE statement to delete a recode on a table, and then the same recode were delete in the linked server which has the same table.
As pre my understand, the statement executed on one server will not apply to the linked servers unless you specify the logic yourself in the application. For example, you use dynamic query and exec the query synchronously on linked servers.
What's more, did you specify replication between this linked server?
If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.

Different Baseline Date in Invoice Transaction and Payment Transaction

Hi All,
I have one issue. When I post the invoice transaction in FB60 and input the baseline date 22.08.2011. Then I post the outgoing payment with document date 20.08.2011 and then I checked the baseline date in vendor line item, the baseline date not in 22.08.2011 but it is defaulted into 20.08.2011 (document date when perform outgoing payment). Why the system cannot link the baseline date in invoice transaction and document payment? It makes unconsistency in baseline date. Kindly need your help to share if you ever found the same issue like this and also the SAP Notes if you have it.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
John

Dear John11
If your selecting your payment terms in invoice system automaticaaly pics dates what you config. in OBB8
But it is not requried to give any baseline date for payment transaction

Link Job and Qualifications in LSMW

Hello!
I'm trying to link automatically (in LSMW) Jobs and qualifications (with Proficiencies). But:
- pppm doesn't work in LSMW
- pp01, pp02 doesn't allow to link jobs and qualifications ("cannot be mainained via basic transaction")
Has anyone got a clue plz?
Thanks,
Cyrielle

Hi,
indeed this is a tricky one.
Best way to approach (I've done it several times so I'm guaranteeing that it will work) is the following:
In IMG, change the details of the specific relationship in such a way that it can be maintained vía 'Basic Transaction'
Unfortunately I've no SAP-connection at the moment to guide you to the correct IMG - step but it's somewhere in IMG under Org. Mgmtn (Allowed relationships, I think but can't be 100% sure)
After changing the setting in IMG, you will be able to create the requested relationship via PP02, which will allow you to record the LSMW
Of course, test the whole thing in DEV and QA
When everything is okay, transport to PROD and perform upload in PROD
after completing the load, change the 'maintenance' - setting of the relationship back to the original value and transport to PROD
And your job is done!
Wilfred.

What is the diffreence between call transaction and session method

hi gurus
can any one suggest me
what is the difference between call transaction and session methods
in which cases we have to use teh call transaction and
in which cases we have to use session method.
thank you
regards
kals.

CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
Among the two methods call transaction is better compared to session bcoz data transfer is faster in it.
Differences between call transaction and session.
Session Method:
1) Data is not updated in the database table until the session is processed.
2) No sy-subrc is returned.
3) Error log is created for error records.
4) Updation is always synchronous.
Call Transaction Method:
1) Immediate updation in the database table.
2) sy-subrc is returned.
3)Error need to be handled explicitly.
4) updation can be synchronous as well as asynchronous.
2) ya u can use using the N mode no screen.
3)u can't handle multiple transaction in call transaction.
4) u can handle multiple transaction in session using the BDC_INSERT fm.
5)When u go to SM35 u can able to see the error records.
Which is best?
That depends on your requirement. Both of them have there advantages.
According to the situation u can choose any one of these.
difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
For session method,these are the function modules to b used.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
BDC_INSERT
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
For call transaction,this is the syntax.
CALL TRANSACTION TCODE USING BDCDATA
MODE A or E or N
UPDATE A or S
MESSAGES INTO MESSTAB.
Take a scenario where we need to post documents in FB01 and the input file has say 2000 records (2000 documents, not line items in FB01 but 2000 records)
In the BDC call transaction method
We call the transaction FB01 2000 times (once for each record posting) and if the processing fails in record no 3 it can be captured and start with reocord 4.
Eg: Loop at itab.
call transaction FB01
capture errors
endloop.
In the session method.
We do not explicity call the transaction 2000 times, but all the records are appeneded into a session and this session is stored. The processinf of the session is done wwhenever the user wants it to be done. Hence the errors cannot be captured in the program itself
Check these link:
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/question-about-bdc-program.htm
http://www.itcserver.com/blog/2006/06/30/batch-input-vs-call-transaction/
http://www.planetsap.com/bdc_main_page.htm
Batch Input Session method is asynchronous as told by others here. But the advantage of this is that you have all the error messages and the data for each transaction held persistantly. You don't have to code anything for processing them or writing the logs.
But at the same time, the same feature can be disadvantageous if you need to react to an error or if there are too many errors to manually correct in a session. Since the session are created in the program and its execution is done seperately, you loose the trackability of such transactions.
With a call transaction, what was a disadvantage above will become an advantage. Call transaction immediately gives you messages back and you can react to it in your program. But the disadvantage is that, if you have several hundreds of transactions to run, running them from within the program can be resource crunching affair. It will hamper the system performance and you cannot really distribute the load. Of course, you have some mechanisms with which you can overcome this, but you will have to code for it. Also, storing the messages and storing the errored transaction data etc will have to be handled by you in the program. Whereas, in batch input session, your program's job is to just create the session, after that everything is standard SAP system's responsibility.
Ideally, you should do a call transaction if the resources are not a problem and if it fails, put the errored transaction into a session.
You can decide based on the data volume that your BDC is processing. If data volume is high go for session else call transaction will do.The call transaction updates will be instantaneous where as session needs to be processed explictly after creation.
Session Method
1) Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ...
bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
1) Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
mode <A/N/E>
update <L/A/S>
messages into BDCMSGCOLL.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.

Re: Transactions and Locking Rows for Update

Dale,
Sounds like you either need an "optimistic locking" scheme, usually
implemented with timestamps at the database level, or a concurrency manager.
A concurrency manager registers objects that may be of interest to multiple
users in a central location. It takes care of notifying interested parties
(i.e., clients,) of changes made to those objects, using a "notifier" pattern.
The optimistic locking scheme is relatively easy to implement at the
database level, but introduces several problems. One problem is that the
first person to save their changes "wins" - every one else has to discard
their changes. Also, you now have business policy effectively embedded in
the database.
The concurrency manager is much more flexible, and keeps the policy where
it probably belongs. However, it is more complex, and there are some
implications to performance when you get to the multiple-thousand-user
range because of its event-based nature.
Another pattern of lock management that has been implemented is a
"key-based" lock manager that does not use events, and may be more
effective at managing this type of concurrency for large numbers of users.
There are too many details to go into here, but I may be able to give you
more ideas in a separate note, if you want.

The scenario is as follows: We have a window where the user picks an
object from a dropdown list. Some of the object's attributes are then
displayed in that window, and the user then has the option of editing
those attributes, and at some point hitting the equivalent of a 'save'button
to write the changes back to the database. So far, so good. Now
introduce a second user. If user #1 and user #2 both happen to pull up
the same object and start making changes to it, user #1 could write back
to the database and then 15 seconds later user #2 could write back to the
database, completely overlaying user #1's changes without ever knowing
they had happened. This is not good, particularly for our application
where editing the object causes it to progress from one state to the next,
and multiple users trying to edit it at the same time spells disaster.
The first thing that came to mind was to do a select with intent to update,
i.e. 'select * from table where key = 'somevalue' with update'. This way
the next user to try to select from the table using the same key would not
be able to get it. This would prevent multiple users from being able to
pull the same object up on their screens at the same time. Unfortunately,
I can think of a number of problems with this approach.
For one thing, the lock is only held for the duration of the transaction, so
I would have to open a Forte transaction, do the select with intent to
update, let the user modify the object, then when they saved it back again
end the transaction. Since a window is driven by the event loop I can't
think of any way to start a transaction, let the user interact with the
window, then end the transaction, short of closing and re-opening the
window. This would imply having a separate window specifically for
updating the object, and then wrapping the whole of that window's event
loop in a transaction. This would be a different interface than we wanted
to present to the users, but it might still work if not for the next issue.
The second problem is that we are using a pooled DBSession approach
to connecting to the database. There is a single Oracle login account
which none of the users know the password to, and thus the users
simply share DBSession resources. If one user starts a transaction
and does a select with intent to update on one DBSession, then another
user starts a transaction and tries to do the same thing on the same
DBSession, then the second user will get an error out of Oracle because
there's already an open transaction on that DBSession.
At this point, I am still tossing ideas around in my head, but after
speaking with our Oracle/Forte admin here, we came to the conclusion
that somebody must have had to address these issues before, so I
thought I'd toss it out and see what came back.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

"I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less
distraction." - Calvin

We have taken an optimistic data locking approach. Retrieved values are
stored as initial values; changes are stored seperately. During update, key
value(s) or the entire retieved set is used in a where criteria to validate
that the data set is still in the initial state. This allows good decoupling
of the data access layer. However, optimistic locking allows multiple users
to access the same data set at the same time, but then only one can save
changes, the rest would get an error message that the data had changed. We
haven't had any need to use a pessimistic lock.
Pessimistic locking usually involves some form of open session or DBMS level
lock, which we haven't implemented for performance reasons. If we do find the
need for a pessimistic lock, we will probably use cached data sets that are
checked first, and returned as read-only if already in the cache.

Error : Excise modvat accounts not defined for GRPO transaction and U1 exci

I have Created Impot PO, After Planned Delivery cost MIRO I am trying to Perform GR then its giving Error "Excise modvat accounts not defined for GRPO transaction and U1 excise group
Message no. 8I402"
I have already maintained GL account in "Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction" for Excise group U1
This problem is coming when Additional Duty on custom condition type JADC is maintained in "Maintain Excise Defaults" node in the column "ADC Cond" . If I remove JADC condition type from this place the this error is not coming but AED column is not fetching any value while doing GR.
Please help me in this issue , still No answer
Edited by: shiwanshu singh on Jan 28, 2009 10:26 AM

Dear sir
For GRPO have you maintained sub transaction Type IP for your excise group U1. If you not maintained pl maintain . and assign G/L account to modvat clearing account , the G/l account should be same as company code CVD account.

How to create bdc for fbs1 using both call transaction and session

Hi Friends,
i have one problem with tcode FBS1, i need to create a bdc program for both call transaction and session method using subroutine.
first call transaction needs to execute if there is an error sesion has to execute. if u have code please forward.
thanks in advance.
chandramouli pothugunta

where as in call transaction we can do error handling explictly.those errors are stored in one file .this file will send to the error log(session method),i.e session log.
in the above case we use both call transaction n session method at time in one program.sample code is below ,go through it .
data : begin of itxk01 occurs 0,
end of itxk01.
data : bdcdata like itbdcdata occurs 0 with header line.
data : itbdcmsgcoll like itbdcmsgcoll occurs 0 with header line,
itxk01 like itxk01-dup occurs 0 with header line.
call gui-upload.
loop at itxk01.
refresh itxk01.
perform bdc-dynpr0 using 'prg' 'scr'
perform bdc-dynfld using fnam fval
call transaction 'xk01' using bdcdata mode 'a' update 's' messages into itbdcmsgcoll.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
append itxk01 into itxk01-dup.
endif.
endloop.
if not itxk01-dup[] is initial.
refresh itck01.
call bdc_open_group
itxk01 = itxk01-dup.
loop at itxk01.
refresh itxk01.
perform bdc-dynpr0 using 'prg' 'scr'
perform bdc-dynfld using fnam fval
call bdc-insert.
endloop.
call bdc-close-group.
form bdc-dynpr0 using pr sc
endform .
form bdc-field using fnam faval
endform.
this will help u.

Important!! Improve the life and performance of the battery.

Reduce the operating temperature and increase battery life
The battery in your notebook PC is designed to provide the necessary amount of energy for the processor while maintaining HP high safety standards. As a result, the battery may not charge or may stop providing power to the notebook when the battery temperature exceeds the specified, design safety level.
If the battery life appears shorter than normal, the battery stops charging before it is 99%-100% full and the battery appears warmer than usual, the battery has most likely reached its designed "no charge" safety state. The battery will no longer charge until the temperature condition is corrected.
Try one of the following methods to correct the battery temperature:
When charging the battery, do not use applications that require large amounts of system resources such as graphic or memory intensive applications, heavy and extended hard drive usage.
Turn off your notebook and remove the battery to allow it to return to a safe operating temperature.
Make sure the notebook PC is operating on a hard surface. Using the Notebook PC on a bed or sofa may block the vents causing the notebook PC to heat up and shut down.
By taking these steps, the battery will return to its normal operating temperature range and continue to charge and discharge as designed.
Calibrating the battery while PC not in use
Recalibrating the battery requires a cycle of a complete charge and a complete discharge. To recalibrate the battery while using the PC is not is use complete the following steps.
The recalibration may take 1-5 hours depending on the age of the battery and the configuration of the notebook PC you own. The PC should not be used while you perform the following steps. Completing all the following steps will also calibrate the battery so that the power meter readings are accurate.
Shut down the notebook PC
Connect the AC Adapter to the notebook PC and to an electrical socket.
Charge the Notebook PC until the Battery Charge light is Green. This indicates the battery is completely charged.
Press and release the Power Button to start the computer.
Press the F8 key several times when the HP Logo displays.
When the Windows Advanced Startup Menu displays, select the Startup in Safe Mode option.
Remove the AC power adapter from the notebook PC.
Allow the battery to discharge completely until the notebook PC turns off.
The battery is now calibrated and the battery level reading on the power meter is now accurate.
If you are not using the notebook regularly then please unplug the AC adapter and shut down the notebook. By following these practices will improve the life and performance of the battery. Here is a quick list of Do's and Don'ts for the care of your Li-On batteries:
Do's
When you receive a new Notebook or Tablet PC, leave the battery to fully charge overnight.
Condition a new battery by using it until it is fully discharged, and then re-charge it fully. Doing this once a month will help to accurately calibrate your battery.
Always ensure the battery is recharged as soon as possible after it becomes fully discharged. A battery will be permanently damaged if left for an extended length of time in a fully discharged state.
Remember that a Lithium-Ion battery will slowly deteriorate; a new battery will always perform better than one that is 6-months old.
Remember that the battery half-life is rated for a certain total number of charge/discharge cycles (see your User Manual or Quick Start Guide for the rating). For example, a battery that is rated for 3 hours and 500 charge/discharge cycles, will still be considered as within specification, even if it only lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes after 500 charge/discharge cycles.
Heat is the worst enemy of a battery. Allow plenty of air to circulate around the Notebook/Tablet PC, so that the battery is kept as cool as possible when charging and also when in use. If provided, use the integrated 'legs' under the Notebook to raise the notebook and improve air circulation.
Remove the battery if storing for several months (the battery should be at approximately 50% charge or higher).
If you use a NoteBus or if charging your Notebooks or Tablet PCs in a confined space, allow for adequate ventilation in order to keep the batteries as cool as possible.
Don'ts
Do Not - Expose the battery to excessive heat or cold (i.e. outside the range of 10-35 degrees Centigrade ambient).
Do Not - Store the battery in a fully charged state (store batteries with about 50% charge).
Do Not - Allow a nearly flat battery to be unused for more than a month or so. The battery will slowly discharge until it becomes fully discharged and this will permanently damage the battery cells.
Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC inside a carry case - the battery may overheat.
Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC when stacked on top of each other - the battery may overheat.
Remember: Your battery is slowly degrading all the time, even if it is not used. Keeping your battery as cool as possible will slow down this degradation considerably.

Archvie log generation and performance issue

Hi there,
I am facing some problem with archvie log file which is significantly degrading database performance.
Please go thru below details
there are some long running transaction(DML) performed in our database and during this time massive Archive log files are generating,
here the problem comes, This operation is running for about 1 hr and during this time the database performance is very slow even user logging in to the application is taking time.
There is enouch undo tablespace and undo retention configured for the database,
I am not getting why its making such a bad impact on database performance.
----- What could be the reason for this performance degrade -------
----- Is there any way to find which "user session" and "transaction" are generating too many archive log file -----
Your quick response will be highly appriciated

To resolve your problem with performance degradation first thing to do is to collect more information during performance degradation.
You can do that running AWR or statspack reports during specified time (as it is said in post before) or checking tables like v$session_wait or v$system_event. Then search in report where are you losing your time or find expensive queries.
Run AWR or statspack reports and post information about wait events and then you will probably get more precise help. You can also post information about Oracle version, host, optimizer parameters or similar relevant information.
The more information you provide, the better help you'll get.
btw
Do you receive "checkpoint not complete" in alert log during excessive redo generation?
You can also check if application can reduce redo generation using 'nologging'. If you have transaction that deletes whole table, you could use truncate instead.

Something sketchy.
I had the same message appear. It resized my window to the smallest possible size (not minimize!) and when I resized it larger, it had opened a new tab with that message. It was on "c510a1.minersaver1.com" which sounds like a related site. It tried to download "avmast_2004-4_mst5.exe"and I was going to try and refind this site on my Linux box, but forgot to save the exact URL (oops!).
Running Firefox 4.0b11 on 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
EDIT: Found a LIVE link
