Does SAP support Solaris 10 ZFS filesystem when using DB2 V9.5 FP4?

Hi,
I'm installing NW7 (BI usage). SAPINST has failed in the step "ABAP LOAD due to the DB2 error message
"Unsupported file system type zfs for Direct I/O". It appears my Unix Admin must have decided to set these filesystems as ZFS on this new server.
I  have several questions requiring your expertise.
1) Does SAP support ZFS filesystems on Solaris 10 (SPARC hardware)? I can not find any reference in SDN or Service Market Place? Any reference will be much appreciated.
2) How can I confirm my sapdata fielsystems are ZFS?
3) What actions do you recommend for me to resolve the SAPINST errors? Do I follow the note "Note 995050 - DB6: NO FILE SYSTEM CACHING for Tablespaces" to disable "Direct I/O" for all DB2 tablespaces? I have seen Markus Doehr's forum Link:[ thread|Re: DB2 on Solaris x64 - ZFS as filesystem possible?; but it does not state exactly how he overcame the error.
regards
Benny

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your input.
I have also found  the command "zfs list" that would display any ZFS filesystems.
We have also gone back to UFS as the ZFS deployment schedule does not meet this particular SAP BW implementation timeline.
Has any one come across any SAP statement that states NW7 can be deployed with ZFS for DB2 database on Solaris SPARC platform. If not, I'll open an OSS message.
regards
Benny

  • Does SAP create missing files TRACExx when starting up?

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a documentation regarding a system copy from a productive system to a consolidation system.
    We're using Sun Solaris 10/64Bit with Oracle 10g2 and Netweaver 7.00.
    In the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS_xx/log there are several files SAP uses:
    - ALALERTS
    - ALMTTREE
    - ALPERFHI
    - ENQBCK
    - SLOGxx
    - TRACE
    - TRACE00...TRACE07
    My question concerns the TRACE-files. Only the file TRACE seems to be used by the consolidation system, but there are still eight files TRACE00 up to TRACE07 that were last accessed in 2008 and before.
    These files are filled with data from former consolidation systems that got overwritten everytime by the system copy. Now, after the new copy, the SAP system is still down. May I delete these files? Does SAP create these files new when starting up?
    Greetz, Uwe.

    Hi,
    Yes you can delete those files at any time. Check SAP Note 16513, it may help you.
    Thanks,

  • Does SAP support JVM 1.5.0 for the SAPgui 6.40 Rev 6 for the Mac?

    On Tuesday evening, Apple released a software update for Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 4 for Mac OS X v10.4.5 or later. When you install the update, it will change the default version of Java virtual machine from Java 1.4.2 to Java 1.5.0. Apple also posted instructions for changing the default back to Java 1.4.2 at <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303526>.
    When I launch SAPgui 6.40 Rev 4 or SAPgui 6.40 Rev 6 for the Mac, they both now use JVM 1.5.0. Does SAP support that, or should I follow Apple's instructions for changing the default JVM back to 1.4.2?
    Here is the information from the "About SAPgui" boxes.
    SAPGUI for Java 6.40 rev 4

    Hello,
    as indicated in the system requirements of SAP GUI for Java 6.40, JRE 1.4.2 is the only supported Java version on any of the platforms including Mac OS X.
    Current Mac versions of SAP GUI for Java 6.40 unfortunately do not block usage of JRE 5.0 after installing Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 4, which causes latter to become the Java default.
    We have discovered this recently and starting with the next revision of SAP GUI for Java 6.40 we will make sure that it uses JRE 1.4.2 independent from the Java default.
    Until then, it is required to change the Java default back to 1.4.2 like described in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303526 in order to avoid unpredictable issues.
    It is planend to support JRE 5.0 with the upcoming SAP GUI for Java 7.00 on all platforms including Mac OS X.
    Best regards

  • Does SAP support open tender process for Vendor selection

    Hi all,
    Does SAP Support Open tendering process for Vendor Selection.
    I men in my clients scenario. For vendor selection process for any material starts with advertisement of tender  in newspaper. Vendor replies back with his quotation. After receiving technical and commercial quotation, the organization go for technical bidding and those who qualify in technical bidding they contest for commercial bidding. After commercial bidding, comparative statement is prepared and then purchase committee approves the vendor. The problem is that any no. of vendors from any where can give their reply to the tender as it is a government organization. So, how to map this process in SAP as we are not directly sending RFQ to the vendor, instead he reply back with quotation directly once he sees the advertisement in newspaper.
    I want you all to suggest me whether to keep this process in SAP or out of SAP. waiting for your response.
    Regards,
    Amit

    Hi Ravi,
    Thanks for your response. My problem is that the organization advertise its tender in newspaper of all india circulation and seeing that tender vendor reply back with quotation. They don't identify who all are the vendors to whom RFQ is send. only when reply of vendor comes with quotation client comes to know about the vendors submitting quotation. Normally one vendor is selected for one material and 20 to 25 vendors give their quotation. Is it feasible to bring those 25 vendors in SAP if only one will be selected. Because in any way, for any processing we need to create vendor in SAP. So do we need to create 25 vendors, though we know we require only one finally. Can you please clarify this issue. If you want I can mail you the whole process map.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amit

  • Does SAP support incremental/delta backups?  if so which note describes it

    I'm just about to test incremental/delta backups on udb 9.5 fp1.  Now to my question:
    Does SAP support incrmental/delta backups?
    Is there a note, I couldnt get a hit on OSS
    Are there any gotcha's?  such as do I need to move read only tables to a new talbespace?
    Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
    Anke

    Hi Anke,
    You can specify whether you want to perform a full, incremental or incremental delta backup and the frequency via DB13 or the planning calender in DBACOCKPIT.
    SAP Note 1269697 DB6: Backup Performance
    should be of use to you and please also see our administration guide available at our main page
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6 under Administration. Specifically check the guide
    "Data Recovery and High Availability Guide and Reference" mentioned in Chapter 8.3.5 Advanced Backup Techniques
    There is not a specific SAP note relating to incremental/delta backups but they can be scheduled via DB13 and so, they are supported.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Does SAP Support the "XML Process Definition Language" (XPDL)

    Does SAP support XPDL. IF not what is the alternative standard that they support?
    regards,
    Thomas

    As far as I know there isn't any support for XML process description language. they only alternative is OMG BPDL, which is still under work.
    Many people tend to compare XPDL to BPEL, although it is not so right. I think that this link http://kswenson.wordpress.com/2006/05/26/bpmn-xpdl-and-bpel/ explain it.

  • Cursor does not change to a circle when using eraser

    Cursor does not change to a circle when using the eraser.
    I'm sure it must be a tick box somewhere.
    Its always been ok previously.

    I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
    1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
    2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
    3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
    4. Click ok.
    Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
    P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

  • Does Sap Supports Linux

    Dear Masters..
                            Please Let me Know Does Sap Supports Linux OS other than XP
    Zubair

    Hi Mohamed
    From the SAP Portal:-
    The application supports the Microsoft SQL Server database. Additional system requirements are Microsoft Windows Server (2003 R2, 2003 SP1), Microsoft Windows Business Server (2003 R2, 2003 SP1) and Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (standalone installations only) as well as Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Professional (workstation platforms). The application also supports Microsoft Office (2003 SP1, 2007 und XP SP2). Further Windows operating systems will be supported in the future. The open architecture of SAP Business One will integrate with SAP Business Suite, as well as other independent software vendors, allowing companies to realize the extensive benefits of SAP from the largest division to the smallest subsidiary.
    So it seems that Linux is not an option at present

  • Computer does not put itself to sleep when used in lid-closed mode

    Hi. I'm having a small problem when using my macbook pro with the LED display, lid closed and with external keyboard and mouse. If I leave the computer unattended, the display goes to sleep at the time specified in system settings under energy saver. The computer, however, does not go to sleep - the white power indicator remains solid and noises for new email etc can still be heard.
    I should probably just try to remember to put it to sleep manually but I keep forgetting. Does anybody know what settings I need to adjust?

    I tried cycling the old battery many times, and the computer would still shut down unexpectedly instead of going to sleep when it ran out of power. I got a free replacement from the supplier [http://myworld.ebay.com/cbkusaelectronics>, but I have cycled this new battery twice now, and it still does not go to sleep when it runs out of power. The capacity of the battery is fine (4.9 Ah), and the timing calibration seems fine as well. I have two older batteries from NewerTech and they allow sleep every time, so I think my computer is fine. Can anyone enlighten me about the cause of this problem? Does my battery lack some 'sleep battery' cell in it for use after the other 4 cells discharge? Or does my battery lack a chip that communicates with the computer? Is there any hope of getting this battery to support sleep when discharged?
    Has anyone else seen this problem consistently in a brand of battery? Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheaper battery that does not exhibit this problem? I have been happy with NewerTech, but they cost over $130.
    (I only paid $44 plus $10 shipping, so I probably got what I paid for. It is maybe still worth it to have a high capacity battery for such a low cost, but I can't rely upon it in those last few minutes or I may lose work.)

  • Siri keeps telling me "your calendar does not support location-based reminders" when I ask her to remind me to feed the cat when I get home. My address is in contacts and it has worked previously. Did iOS 8 change something?

    calendar does not support location-based reminders....
    i Just found a similar question below and it resolved my issue. Turn off the sync to exchange email and all works fine now.

    Couldn't agree more.  I've been *trying* to use location reminders ever since buying my iPhone 4S but as yet, out of many, many attempts they've only actually worked once.
    The kid problem is very simple, the way the phone needs the location to be an address in your address book, and it's subsequent inability to correctly locate the address. My home address is a correct postal address, and has been unchanged for 40+ years, yet clicking on my address from my own contact entry puts my location some distance down my street.
    Whilst I understand the issue with the address lookup, it seems to be a massive problem with the location based reminders as it's just not possible to set useful reminders.
    What if I want to remind myself of something when I arrive at the car park on a shopping trip?  There is no address for that in my contacts, I just want to pinpoint the location on the maps and say 'remind me when I get there'.  Surely that's the simplest my far.  Same with address book contacts, if you had a field with the gps position in then one could tag the locations and know they were 100% accurate for location services.
    Such a shame as it's one of the key reasons I upgraded my phone and as it stands it just plain doesn't work.
