OPS$ SID ADM password expire

Hi,
We are receiving warnings in system that our User OPS$<SID>ADM password is going to expire.
USERNAME EXPIRY_DATE PASSWORD
OPS$<SIDADM>ADM 12-JAN-11 EXTERNAL
As I understand User is Externally identified so I was expecting that if I change password of User <SID>ADM at OS level,
On database level OPS$ User should be Updated but it did not get update and still its expiry date is same.
So please suggest how can we change its password.
Shivam

Hi Shivam,
From SQL prompt execute the below command
SQL>update OPS$<SAPSID>ADM.SAPUSER set PASSWD='<new password>' where USERID='SAPSR3';
You can do the same from BRTOOLS also

2. If you have any installation notes with the sequence of steps, can you please send it to me at [email protected]

Change password for Domain\SAPservice SID and sid adm user

Hi guys
During NW711 installation, Ii gave OS User password different with master password.
Now i would like to synchronise the OS User password with master password(DDIC/SAP)
How to change the password for below users
SAP System administrator <Domain>\<sid>adm
SAP System Service User<Domain>\SAPService<sid>
Appreciate immediate response.
regards

Hi,
If I am not wrong you system is installed in windows. You can change the password in the domian controller under users OU or you can ask your domian administrator to change the same. But, I would recommend not to do this as after chaging the password the sap system will not start and you need to update the changed password in all the places wherever the mentioned IDs are used. For eg. in SAP_<SID> service and SAPOSCOL service.
Also, if the installation is in cluster then need to be more carefull and see where all need to update the changed password.
Thanks & Regards,
Sharath

Can not change password of sid adm and ora sid

Hello Experts,
I have done a system copy of SAP ECC6.0.The target and the source system are on the same host.Hardware platform is HP-UX 11.31 and database is Oracle 10g.Both the systems are up and running now.
While target system installation, I gave the "master password"(password for all users) same as in the source system.
But when the target sysetm was installed, I found that <target sid>adm and ora<target sid> ,ddic passwords are not working.For J2EE_ADMIN, the password is working.
Please guide how to change ( or reset) the password of <target sid>adm and ora<target sid> without knowing the old password.
DDIC password I could able to change by logging into the system with SAP*
Please Help..
Anupam.

for
Please guide how to change ( or reset) the password of <target sid>adm and ora<target sid> without knowing the old password.
You need to login with root and then just type passwd sidadm and give the new password.Same you can do it for orasid.you can change it with root as it has administrator rights and will not ask for the old password.
Thanks

Changing db2 sid password

Hi,
Recently i just changed db2<sid> password in AIX using passwd command and also i changed the password in r/3 (tcode dbacockpit under database connection)
After that i looked at the etc/security/failedlogin file and i saw a lot of db2<sid> entries.
Can anyone enlighten me which part i have missed out or done wrongly?
Thanks a million

Hi,
Changing the db2<sid> password will not require the
update of other users or any other change to reflect the changed
password. which would be needed if you change the passwords of
<sid>adm and sap<sid> (these would need to be updated via dscdb6up)
But if you change the db2<sid> password
it will not affect the running of the SAP instance as SAP
does not use this user to connect.
Do you see alot of entries in the db2diag.log of
Password validation for user db2<sid> failed with rc = -2146500507
validation for user db2<sid> failed with rc = -2146500507 in the
db2diag.log file means that the "Password does not belong with
specified user id" after DB2 SERVER password was changed for instance
owner.
It will not harm the system but some user or script is still using the
old password to connect and it generating this entry. It would be very difficult
to track down exactly what is tyring to connect as it is not an SAP application.

Paul

Default password for SID adm

The subject says it all - I am new to MaxDB, and did not install the application.
We are trying to update some tables, and get permission errors.
I have the SUPERDBA user, but that user does not have permissions on the <SID>ADM tables.
Is there a default password for the <SID>ADM database user?
I am probably missing something very easy here.

SAP customer - yes - I am reviewing the documentation - it leaves a lot to be desired
Here is the output you requested:
dbmcli on GRD>sql_execute select * from users
OK

Bash shell for sid adm and ora sid user

I'm planning to make bash shell as the the default shell for my <sid>adm and ora<sid> user. Will there any issues? It seems harmless.
My current setups are ECC6 on top of AIX 5.3 and Oracle 10g
regards,
Marjan

The only problem is permission of user access to that bash shell. as well as what u u want to run i mean to say if it is any haevy erport or update insert or refresh functionality then do not run at the time of haevy load.
Thanks

Folder permission for /db2/ sid /db2 sid /NODE0000 unknowingly resets.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem where the one of my db's folder, /db2/<sid>/db2<sid>/NODE0000 is suddenly reset to permission 700. This leads to alot of errors where background processes will hang and can't even start SAP. When setting the permission to 775 it works, but more often than not, it will go back to 700.
Is there a way to check who/what is changing this folder? Any idea what's causing this? We are using AIX 5.3 TL6 with DB2 9.1 FixPak 3.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Chris

Hi Christopher,
The DB2 active log folder should be owned by db2<sid> with group db<sid>adm. For example:
lucka:db2hia 13> ls -lrt
total 4
drwxr-x--- 2 db2hia dbhiaadm 4096 2008-08-11 21:00 NODE0000
lucka:db2hia 14> pwd
/db2/HIA/log_dir
If it is owned by someone else, this folder then have to have write permission for other (including db2<sid>) to write. In which case, I am guessing that every time DB2 start, it may try to "fix" the permission.
The best would still be to set the ownership of it to db2<sid> with group db<sid>adm.
The safest time to do it is when the database is deactivated (or instance shutdown).
Regards,

BRTOOLS errno 13 when logged in as user sid adm

Hi,
Just upgraded to 7.2 (14) BRTOOLS, Netweaver on Oracle/UNIX platform.
My brtools open when I'm logged in as ora<sid> user, however they fail with permissions on the Oracle directories when I try and run brtools as user <sid>adm.
I've verified the file permissions against a known working instance on the br files and they are matching.

Hi Richie,
Are the environment variables properly set for <sid>adm and ora<sid>?
Try to see if the dot (.) profiles in the home directories of <sid>adm and ora<sid> are consistent.
Also, as ora<sid> recursively change the permissions for /oracle/S02/saptrace to 755 [chmod -R 755 /oracle/S02/saptrace]
Also check the permissions of brtools executables in the /sapmnt/<SID>/exe on the database server.
Normally, they should be something like shown below.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 <sid>adm sapsys 1578637 Feb 20 2011 brrestore
-rwsrwxr-x 1 ora<sid> sapsys 2303924 Feb 22 2011 brtools

Upgrade assistant Server error: your username is root, but must be SID adm

Hi GURU's,
I am working on "Combined Upgrade & Unicode Conversion" 4.6C ==> NW2004s
When starting Upgrade assistant and continuue with upgrade getting following error:
Server error: your username is root, bu must be <SID>adm
I have option to continue, or cancel
When I choose "Continue" Upgrade assistant disconects from Upgrade server
Has someone any idea, what is the reason, and how can I solve this issue.
PS: I have also tried to start upgrade with <SID>adm user, but the same error.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
The whole upgrade should only be executed using <sid>adm, not root. I suggest to re-run the upgrade using <sid>adm user.
Also ensure all files in /put directory have correct permissions.
Cheers!

OS User SID ADM profile not loading in Windows 2008

Hi Experts ,
We have installed Netweaver 7.o EHp1 BI 7.01 on windows 2008, MS SQL 2008 .
After few days, we are not able to login with the SIDADM user. The error getting is "User profile cannot be loaded"
'The LoadUserProfile call failed with the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified."
We did a domain installation and so the user is a domain user too.
Since this user cannot be loaded , we have problems with transports , becasue few environment variables are related with this user name(dbms-type etc) . So stms transports not running and outputs error.
Kindly advise how I can make this user logging in .
Thanks and Best Regards,
Nibu Antony

> Could you please let know where exactly the Profile file exist.
The profile is a registry hive under HKEY_USERS.
> Also please let me know whether I can add the Environment variables
>
> dbms_type,DIR_LIBRARY,MSSQL_SERVER,MSSQL_DBNAME as system environment variables(Not as user variable) so that I
> can resolve the issue on transports atleast.
Note that the SAP system doesn't run in <sid>adm context but in the context of the user SAPService<SID>.
Was that user maybe (by accident) deleted from the domain and recreated?
I'd open an OSS call and let the support have a look on the system. The "clean" way would be to take a database backup and reinstall the system as homogeneous system copy.
