EHP4 installation on top of ecc 6.0

Hi,
I have planned to install ecc 6.0 sr3 windows 2008 server oracle and put ehp4 on top of it.Pls guide me how to do that.
I have read the doc where they have told to provide space for the seperate shadow instance of 100 gb.I have planned to keep to keep 400 gb of hard disk for the ecc 6.0 installation.So do i need to provide extra space(new partition) for the shadow instance?and also i have read that finally this shadow instance will be converted to real instance.So my original space would go after converting in to ehp4?
also tell me what post installation to be done after ecc 6.0 installation.Say i do all the post installation for ecc 6.0 including client creation and clinet copy with update of stack to 14.After this do i need to do ehp4?
pls guide me in this as i need to it urjently.

You have two possibilities:
- read the installation guides (http://service.sap.com/instguides) and try yourself
- get a basis consultant on your side to help you

A shadow instance will be built with parts of the tables of the source instance, the new coding from the EHP4 packages is imported and is then merged with your original instance. And yes, those 100 GB are free after that again.
> also tell me what post installation to be done after ecc 6.0 installation.Say i do all the post installation for ecc 6.0 including client creation and clinet copy with update of stack to 14.After this do i need to do ehp4?
Yes.
> pls guide me in this as i need to it urjently.
To start the installation you need an installed and configured Solution Manager system. You need that to generate the installation keys and to generate a valid XML file for the EHP4 installation.
And: This is here is a public forum, it's not meant to "teach" you. If you want some real guidance I suggest you attend some SAP classes if you have never done an installation before, especially if Oracle is involved.

EHP4 installation on EHP4 Ready ECC 6.0

HI,
I have completed the installation of ECC 6.0 EHP4 Ready SR1 version. Currently my Netweaver Stack is on 701 and all other ECC components on 600. 
We want to upgrade the SAP the EHP4 version. But the server is not accepting the generated stack file. We have correctly chosen the required technical usage and the target stack is also proper in the stack file. 
We are getting the below error.

Hi,
4 ETQ399 ... Error reading stack info (rc=-1, reason="The stack configuration is not valid for the system XX1, inst.-no. INITIAL")
Just to make sure, have you generated and applied "Permanent License" ?
If not, Then generate both Product License and Maintenance license key on Service Market Place and install it on newly installed server.
Then try again...

Guidelines on optimization of runtime of EHP4 installation phases

Hi
Our system is SAP ECC 6.0 SP10 without any EHP on HP-UX and Oracle.
Currently we are running EHP4 installation on our sandbox on top of EHP3. We are in preprocessing phase. I observe that a phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG is going on more then 5 hours upto the composing of this message. I can observe activity into the system (SM50).
I was trying to get some information and documentation on optimization of runtime of phases of the EHP4 installation. I tried Installation Guide, and notes attached to the document like SAP Note 1292069 - Add. Info. on upgrading to SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 SR1 ABAP, but this seems to be not big help for me(or might be I oversee something provided by SAP)
Here my question is, can we have some anchor document or note for optimization of system settings and parameters which will help us to optimize the runtime of different phases of installation. If not for all then at least please suggest for this phase and other for which it is available.
Approx DB Size: 2.8 TB
Best regards
Jaswant

MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG -- This phase is very long phase, It always takes very long time. Since your database size is 2.8 TB so it will take long time. Only thing you need to take care is no error will be there.

Also as far as optimization of upgrade is concerned it depends on a number of things:
1) How many R3trans processes you have choosen for upgrade ? If more is the number of processes then upgrade will de faster. R3trans processes you can decide on basis of your hardware.
2) You can also optimize memory parameters like in shdow instance Go to SE38 and run rsmemory report -> there you can increase memory parameters to optimize upgrade.
3) You can also change database parameters like db_cache_size etc. to increase performemnce.
4) you can also check SAP Note 1275873 - Memory bottleneck during DDIC activation during EHP import
5) To optimize performence, SAP always recommends to select Manual Selection of parameters in configuration phase in which you can set parameters according to your hardware.
6) You can also find information to improve performence of upgrade in Troubleshooting and Administration Guide. This guide you can find in <upgrade directory>/EHPI/abap/htdoc
Hope it helps
Thanks

How to include Add-On in EHP4 Installation

This is a fresh install on Unix and Oracle.
We have already installed ERP 6.0 EHP4 Ready and now preparing for EHP4 Install using EHP Installer. We have two Add-Ons CPRXRPM 400 and ECC-SE 604 that we want to include in EHP4 installation. We have already copied the .SAR files for both Add-Ons into Download Directory.
I am not able to figure out how to make Installer pick up these Add-Ons. In BIND_PATCH step and (also in screen where it displays calculated queues) I see all the patches that we downloaded from Solution Manager are listed but do not see my Add-ons. At what stage will these be included or do I need to do something to add them manually.?
Zak

Hi,
When you will download the patches from solution manager there you need to select Technical Usage corresponding to these packages then information about these technical usage will be present in stack xml file. So, ehpi installer will read about these packages from stack xml file and include them in upgrade.
Thanks

EHP4 installation error

Hi everybody.
We are running an EHP4 installation in ECC 6.0 using EHPI installer.
At pre-proccesing phase, when installation is activating abap objects we receive an error because it is not possible to connect sap gateway of service sapgw11 (11 is the number of the shadow instance)
We are looking for procceses and there is no one running for shadow intance.
On this way, we are sure that shadows instance must be started, but we are not able to start it.
When we try to do it, we receive this error:
(13752) Starting: local ms.sapTE1_DVEBMGS11_SHD

We can't start shadow instance so installation is stopped.
If anybody knows how to start it, will be great.
Thanks a lot in advance to everybody.
Best regards.

Hi Daniela,
In order to start the shadow instance, please follow below steps
1) Shutdown the CI .
2) The used cleanipc command to clear all semaphores for both shadow instance and CI.
3) Start your CI.
4) go to your upgrade directory (<path-EHPI/abap/bin>).Use below command to start shadow instance
startsap_shd -t R3 -i <Shados instance name> -r <root directory for upgrade> -u <Shadow instance owner>
Please also check in logs if some file (e.g .sapstream file) is in used for in /tmp directory for shadow instance. If it is in use the rename it. and start.
If still phase problem then please let me know.
Thanks

Upgrade to EhP4/NW 7.01 in ECC

We are on ECC 6 and BI 700.The Basis team is planning for an upgrade to EhP4/NW 7.01 in ECC . Does that mean the bi 7 is upgraded with EHP1? Can some one please clear this. What does NW 7.01 in ECC mean?
Thanks,

Hi,
ABA Support Package 20 for 7.00
Basis Support Package 20 for 7.00
BW Support Package 22 for 7.00
It appears that the BI system is separate as the component levels here do appear to be
from BI system rather than having ECC components also.
Your SP stack level looks to be SPS20 which is quite old and should be updated before
updating system to EHP1.
Please refer to the following documentation:
1142832 - Installation Enhancement Package 1 for Netweaver 700
1146578 - Central Note: Upgrade to Systems on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP1
1276895 - Add. info. about Upgrading to SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1

Hi,
In the end I ran out of patience and decided to ignore the error to get it through to the end. Later, SAP responded as follows:
"The issue depends on a deleted function and a new function with the samename within one application. With note 1263261 the problem should be
solved. Maybe you also have to install note 1301695 after it."
I hope this helps,

Best D.A.L options to report Webi (/BW?) on top of ECC

Hello,
Sorry if my question looks simplistic but i'm quite new to SAP with BO.
Here is the situation: We have implemented ECC and we want to create WebI reports out of the information in ECC.
I'm looking for the best option (with ideally pros & cons), with a focus on the best Data Access Layer.
- (option1) Someone has proposed (and prototyped) WebI/Universes with a direct connection to ECC tables. Problem is they didn't know the underlying model and information may not be accurate. Also, it doesn't feel right to me because of the afored point but also because of performance (need to retrieve data through lots of tables and joins) or security issues (not leveraging ECC security). Whenever we'll change ECC, i fear that this will be directly impacted.
> are my assumptions/fears correct
> what are the better way to directly connect to ECC (assuming this is SAP drivers)
> would this option be more relevant if we use SAP rapid mart (using the data services BOBJ ETL tool)
- (option 2) another option would be to setup BW on top of ECC, then creating WebI reports on top of BW.
> if this option more relevant than the one above
> I'm also wondering if the best option is an OLAP universe (with direct access on infocube), or is it better to create a relational universe (using a tool i don't remember the name)
> is it better to create a custom datamart on top of ECC (but we have a few specific in ECC and it looks like we reinvent BW)
> i'm not familiar with BW accelerator but it looks like it may help.
Thanks a lot for your help.
jc

Hi,
The best option is to follow SAP BOBJ best practices.
BW on the top of ECC.
Queries on the Top of InfoProviders
Universes on the top of Queries
BO on the top of Universes.
Universe can also be created on the top of InfoProvider but it is not a good practice.
If we connect BOBJ directly to ECC it is possible but I won't suggest for we loose so many things.

DB2 Post installation after EHP4 Installation

Hi,
I have completed ehp4 installation in db2 9.1 fp7 database windows 2008 server.What are the post installation activities i should do?
I have read in the doc where they have given so many post installations.ie post activities before resuming production etc etc..
But i felt like deleting the old table spaces is important for which they have given the syntax(db2 clp command) also.but if i run that "0 rows selected".pls tell me what is the correct syntax for deleeting old table spaces.
and also pls let me know what other i need to do after ehp4 installation from your experience.
Thanks

Hi Sunny,
Thanks for your reply.
Bur the link you have given,is the common for db2 to delete the table spaces.But I need for the post installation for ehp4 in db2.
for deleting the table spaces,I need to know which are the old table spaces after upgrade for which there is a syntax given in the master guide.below are given in the master guide.
Deleting Substitution Tablespaces
After the enhancement package installation, some tablespaces are no longer used and you can delete them.
To determine the names of these empty substitution tablespaces of the source release enter the following db2 clp command:
db2 "select tbspace from syscat.tablespaces TS where TS.tbspace like '%E%<rel>%' and not exists ( select 1 from syscat.tables where tbspace = TS.tbspace or index_tbspace = TS.tbspace or long_tbspace = TS.tbspace )"
To delete all obsolete tablespaces that are returned by the above mentioned db2 clp command, enter the following db2 clp command at the operating system level for each tablespace listed:
but if i execute no rows selected.
so pls guide me how to do.

SGEN after EHP4 Installation on New system

We have completed the ehp4 installation on a ehp4 ready system. After the installation we need to run SGEN as per the guide, however which option we should choose in SGEN
generate all objects or generation after an system upgrade ? we had run the generation after an system upgrade and it completed very soon.
Please advice , should we run generate all objects for selected components ? Also we have not used SGEN after the ehp4 ready installation.
Regards

Hi,
As of now you installed ERP 6.0 only you need to upgrade again to EHP4. SGEN you can run with first option.
Please disable archivelog...otherwise your disk will full.

SAP Installation in Cluster for ECC Ehp4 SR1 in one cluster

Dear Experts,
Platform is Windows 2008, SQl Server 2008, ECC Ehp4 SR1
In our project, we are implementing ECC 6.0 Ehp4 SR1. Prior to this release, we use to have ABAP & JAVA (dual) stack in single installation. But going through installation guides and posts in SDN understood that now ABAP and JAVA has to be installed separately with different SID.
We have installed development system with separate SID for ABAP stack and java stack in the same box. Similarly, we did it for quality system also.
Now, we need to install the production system which will be in cluster. Earlier we have done cluster installation for ABAP & JAVA stack which would come in same cluster only. But now, since ABAP and JAVA have to be installed with separate SID, can I install both ABAP and JAVA stack in same cluster with two nodes or do we need to have separate cluster for ABAP and JAVA. As of now, we only have two nodes available. If we need to go with separate cluster for ABAP and JAVA we need to get two additional nodes.
So, let me know whether we can use existing two nodes and create a cluster and install ABAP and JAVA with different SID's on it. I have gone through the installation guide and could understand that it can be done. Hence let me know, whether I can go with single cluster. If so, then would be the advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks & Regards,
Sharath

Hi Sharath Babu,
The ASCS & SCS instance must be installed and configured to run on two MSCS nodes in one MSCS
cluster. Ofcourse ESR is also on the same lines.
In brief, for each SAP system you have to install one central instance and at least one dialog instance.
For example, if your local instance on both nodes should have below listed items
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\ASCS20
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SCS10
And these above folders are junction point with Central Instance that's build in SAN Drive with similar set of folders
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\ASCS20
<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SCS10

SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 installation with ABAP+JAVA stack

Hi,
I need to install SAP ECC6.0 EHP4 with ABAP+JAVA stack on windiws server 2008 with oracle.
I have read that for this, we need to install ECC 6.0 EHP4 ready and then upgrade to EHP4 using ehpi installer.
I have found the documents seperately for ABAP and JAVA stack and not for ABAP+JAVA.
I need clarifications on these.
1.Do we need to install ABAP and JAVA instances seperately with EHP4 and then upgrade(In that case I have to install both instances on single host)?
2.Should we give seperate <SID> for both instances and create seperate databases?
3.Hard disk requirement for this set up.(We have 150 GB including C drive)
4.Steps to perform after installing ECC6.0 EHP4 ready
5.Please send me the doc. if anyone has
Anyhelp would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Surya

> 1.In the installation document for EHP4 ready for SAP ERP 6.0 ABAP.It is mentioned that this installation contains only basic EHP4 for ERP 6.0 and we need to install additional EHP4 functionality in the SAP ERP 6.0 -EHP4 ready system.
> It states that atleast Support pacakge stack (SPS) 1 of SHP4 needs to be installed.So If I install this stack using EHPi installer in the post installation activities my SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 will be in place?Please confirm.
Yes..
>
> 2.Can I install SAP SR3 with dual stack and upgaradte it directly to EHP4 at a time?
Yes you can do it.....as SAP still supports dual stack ERP systems to EHP4
>
> Any solutions or suggestions from others also welcome.
Why do u want a dual stack ECC ystem?? any specific requirement???
