Demo Database UK - upgrade problem

Hi
I downloaded a demo database for UK - SAP B11 v8.8 PL10.
When I try to upgrade to SAP B1 v8.8 PL12, 15,16,or 17 I get the following warning and the upgrade fails:-
Check skipped as no metadata from the common database. Common database version differs from the company database version.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

Dear Ian,
I assume you are facing an issue described in SAP Note [1343074|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1343074] (Upgrade Wizard Precheck: Fix table structure check). As it states in the note above,
If the warning message "Common database version differs from company database version" is displayed, choose one of the following solutions:
- Confirm the warning message and continue the upgrade process. The company database structure check will be skipped.
- Upgrade the company database with the common database of same version.
hope it helps,
Regards,

Vision Demo Database is upgradable?

I want to test the upgrade 11.5.10.2 from 11.5.10.0. Question, if I make the fresh install 11.5.10.0 as Vision Demo Database from the DVD, can it be upgraded ?
TIA

Yes, it can be upgraded. However, to test the upgrade it is recommended you clone your production instance and test the upgrade on it so that you can avoid any errors (more downtime) when upgrading the main instance later.

Error upgrading demo database to 8.8

Hi all
I am trying to upgrade one of my demo-databases but when I try the upgrade fails with an Internal Error (-10) on the object "Inventory Valuation Log" ...
because of the name I suspected that it might be because Iventory Valuation checkup have not been performed on the database... I ran the IVC script and it came back with the database being a candidate for a checkup....
My question is, could this be the reason for my upgrade fail (and if so is it really need to send all databases including internal test databases for IVC?)
I have allready upgraded other test-databases that did not have the IVC problem but does anyone know for sure if this is the issue

Hi
By your email -id ,I think you work for Boyum . Just send it database for support and tell the exact reason why you are sending to database .
Before you submit , follow the note that they have send it to you .
If SAP suppport takes your database ,it's fine . If not ......
Hope this helps

Crystal Reports has stopped working with Windows 7 and demo database

I'm trying to get back up to speed on Crystal Reports after 10 years away. I'm running Crystal Reports 2008 Standard with the just-released Service Pack 3 (same symptom with SP2).
So I downloaded the demo database and tried creating a new report. No problems creating a simple customer list. When I add the Orders table and link the CustomerID columns and then add the OrderDate column to the report, everything works fine. But as soon as I add the OrderID or OrderDate column, the application crashes.
Culprit seems to be MSVCR80.dll. Here's the log:

Hello,
It may be that something was "fixed" and our default xml file falls out of the Standards now.
Are you wanting to connect to SQL or XML?
Go to Microsoft's site and search for C++ distribution and download and install the recommended one for windows 7. It may be that part is corrupt or our installer thinks it is there. Try doing a Repair install and custom options to select all of the DB drivers and exports types to see if that resolves the issue.
Thank you

Pb to connecting to the demo database

hi ,
i'm newbie :)
i have just installed TimesTen with demo ,
i can't see how can i connect to the demo database in the command line (i'm on Linux)
what's the name of the demo database ?
thanks for help
:)

Y.Brunet, I can not be as sure in my words as you are, since I don't know how other companies and programmers solve these problems, but I cannot easily accept your advice to code dates as Strings.
In our company's projects everywhere in DB handling code we use PreparedStatements because AFAIK they provide better performance than CallableStatements if frequently used. Also they provide abstraction level - why should I know how the f!@# the Database expects dates/int/float/String... in SQL statements?
We use several DB servers - M@SQL, Access, Oracle, Ingres - they all handle dates in different way(not to mention that in most DBs date format is customizable). But code written for one server works on others (most of it, of course) because of this level of abstraction.
Let's leave the driver format the stuff as the DB expects and concentrate on the real work - pass correct values, perform logical checks, improving performance.....

SAP DEMO Database for SAP b1 Version for HANA

I was wondering if anyone can Help. I have installed the SBODEMO database on SAP B1 version for SAP Hana. V9.0 PL4 and then upgraded to PL9HF (901.00 to 902.001) the SBOCOMMON upgraded ok but SBODEMO database failed on the pre upgrade checks with "Parameter type error in stored procedure SBO_SP_TranasctionNotification and refers to Note 134078. I logged it with SAP and they have said uninstall the SBO DEMO database and then reinstall. Can anybody provide details on how to do this as there are no uninstaller just for the DEMO db as it was installed during the SAP B1 server installation.

Hi Nathan,
You can uninstall using uninstall.bin typically located in /opt/sap/SAPBusinessOne. If you deleted /opt/sap/SAPBusinessOne or the uninstall fails you can use the command shown below.
//Check for B1 rpm files
rpm -q -a | grep B1
//remove B1 rpm files
rpm -q -a | grep B1 | xargs rpm -e
After uninstalling I would recommend deleting the directory (rm -rf /opt/sap/SAPBusinessOne).
Best regards,
Duncan

How NOT to do Direct grant on "Demo database" Method filter

Hello,
When I add a new user in BPA, on the 5 step of the wizard
The "Demo database" is checked under the"'Direct" assign AND is greyed out.
I do not want the user to have this filter.
What is worse is that I cannot go in after user creation to REVOKE this filter either.
Q1 : How do I revoke this filter?
Q2 : What is causing this behaviour (of auto grant) to happen ?
This happens
Thanks in advance
regards
Sanjiv

Hi Sanjiv,
I have been working on ARIS and i havnt faced the problem that you have mentioned. we can easily assign any filter to any user and not just only one we can also assign more thn one filter.
As you said you have raised it to Oracle, have they acknowledge it as an bug in Oracle BPA?
Please provide me with your mail ID and i will send you procedure to create user and assign filter.
It is possible that there is a Bug in Oracle release or may be you have missed some thing while performing the procedure.

Backup/Restore for my demo database

Howdy all. I am running Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Windows 2K Server. I have the following situation ...
I would like to make a standard demo database for my company. This database would be put on several machines and used by sales people to demo our software to possible customers. I need to be able to restore this database on a machine with Oracle 10g installed and then run our software on it.
I can make the database and run our software on it just fine on my machine. I am, however running into problems when trying to learn how Oracle and RMAN work with backups and restoring those backups. I am coming from the MSSQL2K environment where backup/restore is fairly simple and straightforward.
Will somebody please give me a basic idea of what I need to do in order to take the database on my machine and back it up and then restore it on another machine. I don't want to have the restore depend on a given file/directory structure. Our software depends on two tablespaces in the Oracle database. So, if it is easier to somehow backup the two tablespaces and restore them than it is to backup the entire database and restore it - then that is great. I will do it that way.
I am basically looking for the simplest approach for restoring this demo database wherever I want to quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeffrey, here's what I use to do this, I have a production database that on occassion I need to make a copy of to perform some testing on, so I just use this to create an "auxiliary" database using the RMAN backups from the production database. I thought in 10g there was a database clone function, I'll have to look that up and get back to you, anyway, here's the instructions I use.
Target Database = RMAN Target (Source database to be copied.)
Auxiliary Database = RMAN Auxiliary (Duplicated database end result)
1. Copy the target databaseâs init.ora file to the auxiliary databaseâs location.
2. Modify disk locations for control files, archive logs and dump dests in init.ora if required
3. Create locations for data files, dump dests, control files and log files
4. Copy RMAN backup files and archive logs to same location on auxiliary DB server as they are on target DB server
5. Create Oracle Service using ORADIM utility
6. Start instance in nomount
7. Create listener.ora entry on auxiliary server
8. Create tnsnames.ora entry on target server
9. Connect to rman catalog, target and auxiliary from the target server:
     RMAN> connect catalog rman/<password>@<catalog db>
     RMAN> connect target sys/<password>@<target db>
     RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/<password>@<auxiliary db>
10. Run the following (modify the sequence count and datafile renames as required.)
run{
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SYSTEM01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\RBS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\USERS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TEMP01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TOOLS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 6 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\INDX01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 7 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBDATA.DBF';
set newname for datafile 8 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBIDX.DBF';
set newname for datafile 9 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBTEMP.DBF';
set newname for datafile 10 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITDATA.ORA';
set newname for datafile 11 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITAR.ORA';
duplicate target database to mtsd
logfile
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo01.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo02.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo03.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo04.log' size 10M;}

Desparately looking solution for Upgrade Problem.

I am quite happy to use Arch Linux . I have been using this for last 2 years at home. But recently my Internet Provider has vanished and I have no option to resort using wireless dongle. The max download speed I get is around 10 K . So upgrading my Arch Linux Installation ( On Desktop ) is now proven as a dream. Fortunately, in my office, we have fareley decent interent connection.
I am desparately looking for a practical solution where using my wireless dongle - I can update repository database. My problem is how to create download links of all upgrades which I can carry on on a USB thumb drive to office and using wget download all the upgrades and carry back to home to install it ? ( In office we use Ubuntu )
Would love a practical solution for my wired issue.
All suggestions are welcome.
Regards

drcouzelis didn't misunderstand. His point was that this would really not be a good idea on archlinux. If you want to run linux on a machine without an internet connection, you should not use archlinux. Debian was proposed as an alternative.
You could get the list of packages installed with `pacman -Qq > pkglist`, then take the pkglist file to work, download all the pkg and sig files from the mirror manually (or even write a script to do this), bring them home, then use `pacman -U` or set up a local repository with those files, and upgrade from there.
But this would be a lot of work and would be very error prone. Sometimes a package upgrade will pull in a new dependency and the upgrade will fail requiring you to go back to work to download another package file. This could happen several times in a row even. To avoid this situation, you'd have to download the entire mirror (or at least everything for your architecture) as described here, but also see the warnings in that page. Downloading the entire mirror for these purposes would really be abusing them.

Looking for a form in the VIS demo database with lots of data

Hi all,
I am looking for a form in the VIS demo database (that ships with Oracle Applications) that contains a lot (1 MB or more) of data. Specifically, when I perform some type of search in the form, I would like more than 1 MB of data to be transferred over the network to the client.
With Oracle Applications 11i, I was using this form: CRM Resource Manager, Vision Enterprises → Resources
This was nice because searching for all resources resulted in 4.6 MB of data being sent by the server. However, in Oracle Applications R12, the same query in the same form only sends about 100 KB of data. :-(
Does anyone know any other forms that have lots of data in them?
- Kyle

Thanks for that - I found the form. However, it appears the database table is empty - when I perform a search for all jobs, no records are returned.Nevermind, after some trial and error I found a site that had lots of jobs defined. Thanks for the pointer!
I'm still running into the same problem I was seeing with the previous form I was using. This is what I'm doing:
1. Open the form.
2. Search for all records.
3. Jump to the very last record.
In Oracle Applications 11i, this would cause a large amount of data to be transferred over the network (4.6 MB for the previous form I was using and 2.6 MB for this new "Discrete Jobs" form I'm trying). However, the behavior is different in Oracle Applications R12. When I perform the same steps in the same forms, only a fraction of the data is transferred over the network (~100 KB).
Ideally, I would like a set of steps (and a form) that will produce the same results in both 11i and R12. More realistically, I just need a form (or a new test procedure) in R12 that will spit out more than 1 MB of data.

Demo database

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Date/Time 8/15/02 7:30pm
- Browser + Version internet explorer 6.0
- O/S + Version windows xp
A book on Oracle9i I am reading states that the oracle9i trial download includes a demo database called bibdemo. The book makes constant reference to this database, and I cannot find it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

DSL and 9.1 to 9.2 upgrade problems? Please Help!!

I have a Beige g3 - 300 w/ 160 megs of memory - using Netscape 7.02 and occasionally Gatesmess IE-5. I have had dial up for 5 years and recently upgraded to DSL w/ Linksys WRT54G router connected via ethernet cable. Wifes HP laptop uses the wireless.
Problem is when connected to the internet, I get a looong -(30 - 40 second) delay between selecting the url and the page loading with a "resolving host" message at the bottom of the page. The modem send light flashes every five seconds or so and once the system locks on the url it loads really fast. With the dialup there was no delay in finding the url but took a long time to load. Result is it takes about the same amount of time to browse now as before. I don't think the winbox is having the same problem.
To try to resolve the "resolving host" issue I have been trying to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2. When I download the package from apple.com at the end I get a 127 error which reestablishes itself everytime I click OK til I force quit the System. When I restart the computer, the file is on desktop OS 9.2 update.smi. First I opened the file w/ stuffit 5.2 and tried to install it following the instructions (sharing off, OS 9 extensions only etc) and about 4 minutes into the process I get the Bomb error 10. I have downloaded this three times and upgraded the Stuffit to 7.03 but am having the same problem. In order to get to 9.2.2 you have to upgrade to 9.2.1 first and that is what I am doing.
Anybody have any ideas either on the "resolving host" issue or the upgrade problem.
Thanks in advance,
Beige g3 - 300mghz 160 meg memory Mac OS 9.1.x

Thanks Grant.
I read the article and it was of some help. Reference TCP/IP control panel settings. I called Commspeed support and they gave me their three current DNS numbers. I typed them per article and nothing - dead. Called them back and they gave me the typical winbox answers "No hable apple" so left to my own devices and considering the stratigies suggested in the article I did two things.
I opened the TCP/IP control panel and deleted the Name Server Address - As they are supposed to be assigned by the server. There was also a check box that said use 802.3 which was checked. I unchecked it and tried the internet. Blam it was right there. I don't know which stratigy worked as I did them simultaneously.
Still don't know about upgrading to 9.2.
Thanks again,
Bill

How to find out the date when an oracle database is upgraded

Hi,
I would like to know the date when an oracle database is upgraded (for example 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3).
Can you help me to find out these details.
Thanks,
Sarayu

Hi Ed and SB,
Thanks for your replies. How about this option?
Let us assume I am interested in checking when my database is upgraded to any 11g version.
Will this query help?
select min(first_usage_date) from dba_feature_usage_statistics where version like '11%';
I understand this may not be a generic solution , but with this idea I may be able to build up a query to get the result.
Thanks,
Sarayu
How is it that you or nobody knows when the DB was upgraded?
I would have expected a formal testing & upgrade plan.
Does the organization practice safe software & utilize any source code repository?
Does everyone suffer from amnesia?
How could a MAJOR database upgrade slip by everyone who should care about such a detail?
