Hi All,

Hi Ajay,
Check Note 1028624 - Overview of DBA Cockpit for Oracle, there's a attachment in this note with docu, also read the referred notes, This should guide you in setting it up.
In addition you can still run the old "DB02" which has moved to Tcode "DB02_OLD".

DBA Cockpit shows incorrect space information

Hi all,
We have an NW04s with SP12 on Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g. The new DBACOCKPIT is introduced with the SP which supposedly replace many of the database administratrive transasactions (db02, st04, db13, etc.).
The problem we have is the space information is not showig. Using tcode db02 (becomes db02old in SP12) the information is still there.
The following steps that supposedly rectify the issue has been followed:
1. SAPNOTE 1027146 - Monitoring remote system prerequisites
   a. Imported the latest kernel patch.
   b. Migrate the system configuration of the old central planning calendar
2. SAPNOTE 1028624 - DBA Cockpit for Oracle
   a. SAPNOTE 706927 - Installation Script for DBA Cockpit
   b. BR*Tools 700 patch level 24
   c. SAPNOTE 1028068 - Oracle Active Workload Repository
   d. APPLIED SAPNOTE 1042725
   e. APPLIED SAPNOTE 1046668
   f. IMPORT TRANSPORT From SAPNOTE 1052909
Any input or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Handi Cokrojoyo

DBA COCKPIT warning message during startup

When I execute DBACOCKPIT the following message is displayed:
Problem with UDF Installation: Other error
Therefore some functions may not work properly.
Check the UDF configuration for more details.
You are able to "enter" the DBA Cockpit application. The only visable anomoly is:
"File Systems" is greyed-out under DB02-->CONFIGURATION. Therefore I am unable to select this icon and see the "df -k" statistics.
When I execute the TEST under DB02>CONFIGURATION>MONITORING SETTINGS the response is: Test of user defined functions has been finished without errors
The UDF configuration is version 19
The database is version: 09.01.0003
The SAP Application is SAP NW2004 version 640 with Support Pack 19
I have other systems with the same configuration and the problem does not exist - any ideas?

Hi Timothy,
I am not really sure, if the SAP Note 452275 - 'Problem with UDF installation' may help you, as it is quite old and have a new version
However, you have there also a reference to SAP Note 334777 - DB6: Missing user-defined functions, which explains you how to verify that the UDF are correctly installed.

Solution Manager EHP 1 SP22 - DBA Cockpit Configuration Wizard

Hi,
When trying to "Configure DBA Cockpit" in Managed System Configuration ,I got the below error .
We are on Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and Solution Manager SP22.
Database history :Not supported for this DB platform
Extractors activation :The DB performance warehouse is not available, thus the DB extractors were not activated
Please let me know if i need to perform any more additional steps.
Thanks in advance.....
Srini

"Database Performance Warehouse was not set up"
"Not supported for this DB platform"
For Oracle databases there is no support for Database Performance Warehouse in EHP1. With EHP2 the Oracle platform will be supported as well with some reports in the Solution Manager UI.
Basically the database performance warehouse is a project to collect and extract performance data to the SAP Solution Manager BI system. Once the data was loaded in to this BI you can use DBA Cockpit for detailed analysis. In EHP2 of SAP Solution Manager you will be able to also use the SAP Solution Manager UIs to analyze the database performance and workload.
If you are more interested in this feature you are very welcome to have a look at some articles available in SDN:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6
For now you have full support for DB2 for LUW and MS SQL Server platforms and a more limited set of reports for SAP MaxDB and DB2/z.
I hope this clarifies your question.

DBA Cockpit Sybase ASE - Access Plan not displayed

Hello,
We are running SAP ECC 740 on Sybase ASE 15.7, I'd previously used DBA Cockpit to view access plans for queries prior to our ECC upgrade. Since upgrading to 740 DBA Cockpit has had a facelift, and now I can't see an Access Plan when I try clicking "Show Plan" on the cached statements or when I try clicking EXPLAIN in ST05 - I just get a red cross (see attached image).
Does anyone have any ideas about how to view the access plan? If I try a Runtime Explain I get a blue spinning half-a-loop and it just sits spinning and never displays anything.
Thanks, Chris

Type of command is not allowed to be executed: DBA Cockpit

Hi there,
I found this error everytime i execute command at DBA Cockpit: SQL Command line
Type of command is not allowed to be executed.
FYA, i logged on as user that has SAP_NEW & SAP_ALL profiles. And no issue when i run the command on isql (console version) as syb[SID].
Appreciate for your reply.

Hi Deepak,
1) Check with use <SID> go
Tried, Same output.
2) Please also check whether all the latest dba_cockpit corrections have been implemented.
I hv applied sap notes 1245200 1088717.
Tried use <SID> go , Same output.
Applied sap notes :

DBA Cockpit - Explain - intrepeting results

Hello,
I've been using DBA Cockpit to look at how queries are being planned - the database being queried is Sybase ASE.
I did some test queries on LIPS and VBAP e.g.
SELECT lips~vbeln lips~posnr
FROM lips
INNER JOIN vbap
ON lips~vgbel = vbap~vbeln AND lips~vgpos = vbap~posnr
INTO TABLE gt_vbeln
WHERE vbap~vbeln = p_sa_doc.
Which I could see was using a index LIPS~Z01 we have set up on fields VGBEL, VGPOS. The above query did IndexScans and then did a MergeJoin.
I then tried a similar query, but which didn't fully use the index:
SELECT lips~vbeln lips~posnr
FROM lips
INNER JOIN vbap
ON lips~vgbel = vbap~vbeln
INTO TABLE gt_vbeln
WHERE vbap~vbeln = p_sa_doc.
This resulted in a StoreIndex on VBAP and a NestLoopJoin.
Does anyone know some good resources for learning about the different operations that appear in the flow diagrams in DBA Cockpit e.g. 'StoreIndex', 'NestLoopJoin'.
Is there any documentation or any books you could recommend? Thank you, Chris

I suggest the "Abstract Query Plan Guide" from the Performance and Tuning manuals,
Chapter 13: Abstract Query Plan Guide

DBA Cockpit vs Solution Management

In the 11th Jul 2007 SAP Developer Network Newsletter, there was an article about Monitoring System Landscapes with DBA cockpit. My qts is what's the difference with using Solution Manager? Don't we get the same info in different format?

DBA Cockpit is ALSO part of Solman, the cockpit is just a transaction.
With SolMan you will get more (well, that's what the powerpoints prove, see yourself).

How to configure the database monitoring (DBA Cockpit) after Support pack

Hi,
I did the Support Pack Upgrade for BW system and i ran SGEN as well, now i need to configure the database , could you please suggest how to configure the database monitoring (DBA Cockpit) after Support Pack Upgrade.
Server is MSSQL , Component is SAP NetWeaver 2004s and OS is Windows NT.
Plesae suggest.
Chandu.

Hi,
You are right. SAP delivers this functionality from SP-12. So when you have applied the SP-12, you must have done these config steps to enable the DBA Cockpit.
If you have done these steps earlier, So you must have DBA Cockpit enable right now and putting extra SPs like 13, 14 and so on, should not be a matter.
Now if you have not performed those config steps before, Please do them now and you will be able to use DBA cockpit.
Please understand that SP12 is the base to run DBA Cockpit.
With Regards,
Saurabh

DBA Cockpit: Planning calendar and remote Oracle databases- which method?

For using DBA Planning Calendar to schedule BR*Tools for remote Oracle database AS Java systems I have successfully implemented both the Secure Shell and SAP gateway methods in [Note 1025707 - DBA Cockpit: Planning calendar and remote Oracle databases|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1025707] and was interested in which of these two methods others have found to be more supportable and maintainable?
In more detail, the note has these two methods for non-ABAP remote systems:
2. Connection through Remote/Secure Shell
Specifically Secure Shell. Rejecting remote shell as too old and insecure a protocol.
3 Connection through SAP gateway
The note provides clues as to how these methods work. Expanding on that:
With #2, central ABAP system calls out to its OS user level to execute the ssh client (after gw/rem_start has been set to the non-default value SSH_SHELL) which it finds in the location specified in gw/ssh (default value is /usr/bin/ssh). It must use password-less authentication and the key-based authentication must also not require a passphrase. (Using ssh-agent is not an option since this is being called from SAP, not from your own script.)
It remotely runs via ssh a command, sapxpg, which must be found in the PATH of the remote user. (This is why the note, which has you place this exe sapxpg and a subset of the BR*Tools in the home dir of the remote user, also has you make sure the home dir is included in the path--your OS might or might not include the user's home dir in the path in the default shell environment for a new user.)
Then via sapxpg, the BR*Tools are invoked.
One thing that may be confusing here is you have to check at least one gateway parameter 'gw/...' in the central system to get the method #2 the non-gateway method to work--this is because the two methods are technically almost the same: in #2, secure shell is used to basically start a gateway on the fly with sapxpg in order to call the BR*Tools each time a DBA Planning Calendar action runs or you view DBA or Backup logs of the remote system from the central system. With #3, the gateway runs continuously on the remote system.
With #3, central system connects to remote SAP standalone gateway, which executes the BR*Tools installed in the standard SAP kernel directory of the SAP gateway. This method is simpler to describe so it sounds like it has less components than the secure shell method, however you do have an entire SAP system running, although it is just a standalone gateway.
Thoughts:
These pros/cons are UNIX/Linux-oriented since I assume most Windows environments do not have added 3rd-party products that provide secure shell so SAP gateway is the only method.
Secure shell
+ Less software required (not counting secure shell which comes with the operating system distribution): just a few SAP executables placed in the home dir of an ordinary user on the remote system.
+ Secure shell service probably automatically starts upon boot of the remote system operating system.
+ Secure shell is a widely used tool outside of SAP for executing commands remotely without passwords.
- Installation is non-standard: shell environment of remote user is not adapted by SAP installer since SAP installer is not used, SAP executables in the home dir of the remote user is non-standard. Has to be setup manually.
- Requires setting up secure shell key-based authentication, which should be known by UNIX/Linux admins or combined Basis/UNIX/Linux admins, but might be less familiar to SAP Web AS only admins.
- If your admin config policy is to have SAP interact as little possible with the OS level for interfaces with other systems, here you are relying on the OS-level secure shell.
- Using a private key that does not require a passphrase on the central system may not fit with your security policies if you have standards for secure shell configuration.
SAP gateway
+ The gateway is a standard installation, performed with SAP installation tool, with the exception of a few additional environment settings that have to be added after the installation. BR*Tools are installed in the standard location. Can use standard procedures for updating this software.
+ Only uses SAP software.
- More software on remote system: standalone gateway just to run BR*Tools and view logs.
- SAP Kernel of remote gateway should probably be updated whenever you do SAP kernel updates across your systems for consistency. One more system to update.
- Shell environment of remote user that runs the gateway looks like something setup by the SAP installer but is not standard because it has a few additional environment variables added.
- Need to make sure the SAP gateway is started on the remote system.

Hi Joe,
I configured a monitoring/dba landscape for two SAP Portals and one SAP BusinessObjects system on a SAP landscape by using DBACOCKPIT, at a customer site. These systems are running on AIX, Windows 2003/2008 servers and attached to the central monitoring system with standalone SAP gateway installations.
One another reason to not use OS based commands or 3rd party tools is security. We are stopping and disabling most of the services on OS where SAP system is running on, because of the security reasons. I faced more security gaps on rsh/ssh and the other tools than standalone SAP Gateway installations. As you can figure out that rsh/ssh is getting more attack than standalone SAP Gateway, because of well known by the IT world.
As a summary of it, this depends to point of view and policy of the IT organization. I applied both ssh and standalone SAP Gateway solutions at my customers, but I choose standalone SAP Gateway installation among of them.
Best regards,
Orkun Gedik

DBA cockpit - anyone like it?

We just upgraded and found the new dba cockpit that replaces DB02. Don't know what it's like for other databases, but for Oracle it's pretty ordinary.
Somehow they've managed to put a lot of effort into replacing spartan yet functional transactions into something offering apparently the same result in a new and confusing interface. Not quite sure what they hoped to achieve.
In many ways it reminds me of solution manager - it has all the wrappings of an unfinished internal tool thrust upon the unsuspecting public.
Thankfully db02old is useable, but they've nerfed it to a degree by doing silly things like removing the 'Data files/Temp files' button. It's still available as a menu option, but why remove the button??
It's a shame that they put so much effort into moving sideways...

Evolution , generally whatever SAP does, is due to feedback given by its customers, so i am sure there are good things in the DBA Cockpit.
Personally I like the idea of the Cockpit.
Regards,
Siddhesh
