HA Installation of ERP EHP4 on AIX and DB2

Dear All,
I have to do a HA installation of ERP EHP4 system on AIX and DB2. I have followed the standard inst.guide from SAP but I want more information. Can anyone help me in understanding how to go about installing HA in detail. I would be very grateful if anyone can provide me a guide/document of what and how they have done. Can you pls explain me the steps.
I also have few questions
1. Shall i do a Central installation or distributed installation ( meaning CI, ASCS and DB in one server failover to other; CI,ASCS on one server and DB running on different server which in case of failure will move to other server)
2. I know that OS team will do the cluster configuration but is there any other software to be bought for an automatic switchover in case of failures?
3. Mainly, as a BASIS consultant what is our role in HA configuration?  What file systems should be defined and nfs mounted?
Request you to take time and answer. Thanks in Advance.
Lastly, i hope this is the right forum. If not , please let me know.

I think you did not get basic of HA installation. Its neither central nor distributed installation. You need to install CI and Dialog Instance locally on 2 nodes. DB and ASCS instance on the disk that will move across 2 nodes.

OS team will do file system config so that file system having ASCS and DB should move across 2 nodes. And rest of the file system should be local.
After installation making cluster movement automatic both OS and SAP Basis guy have to work together.

I would say primary role in HA installation is of Basis guy. Because he is the person who will decide what approach will you take to install HA either active-active or active-passive. Its you on whom requirement OS guy will work.

  • Installation on AIX and Db2 9

    Hi,
    I am due to start an upgrade project for 4.7 on AIX and DB2, the originating release of DB2 is 8.2.
    But to save myself time I want to use the export of the SAP system to install it on a DB2 version 9 system, using SAPInst.
    I know this is a valid operation on a Windows Oracle platform, but was wondering if there any limitations on the DB2 side of things.
    TIA
    Chris

    That does not accomplish anything of what I wanted.
    To reduce the complexity of the upgrade, I want to use the import process to facilitate a database upgrade.
    What you are proposing is a system copy, and means I will have to do a database upgrade later.
    If my idea is not workable then fine, I will do it that way but you have not addressed any of the requirements I have stated in my post.
    Thanks

  • ERP EHP4 causing dump when posting invoice in MIRO

    I originally posted this in the MM forum but was advised to move it here.
    We just implemented ERP EhP4 w/SAPAPPL603 and are now getting a dump when using MIRO to posting a vendor invoice against a PO. The error seems to involve new logic for multiple account assignment introduced with this EHP. The dump is in include LMRMBWF02 of SAPLMRMBM, and indicates that data object S_MCRBPO does not contain component XHISTMA. The lines in LMRMBWF02 are (starting at 772):
    FORM bw_read_co_history_dyn_sub USING event TYPE bwmode

    ...with the last line being the culprit. The actual break in execution occurs at line 119 of SAPLMRMP, BESTELLUNG_BUCHEN where function MRM_BW_PO_HISTORY is called.
    Had some other errors where tables weren't properly activated after the EHP installation, but here most everything seems to be activated properly. The exception is table EKBE, which activates but with warnings about missing enhancement categories of tables or includes/subtypes for four active dependent tables. That's the only lead I've got.
    Can't find any notes or other posts about this error, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • EHP4 SPS05 installation on ERP 6.0

    Hi,
    We are about to start with the EHP4 SPS05 installation on ERP 6.0 quality system which has a CENTRAL and two dialogue instances.
    Please can anyone confirm do we need to uninstall dialogue instances after we upgrade the central instances??
    As per the document, before dowtime phase starts we need to uninstall the dialog instances and isolate the central instances.
    Can i keep my dialogue instances till DOWNTIME phase? Do I need to upgrade dialog instances seperately?
    Please can anyone guide me through the exact procedure as to what needs to be followed?
    Thanks & regards,
    Rozal

    Hello Rozal,
    You donot need to uninstall and install the dialog instance again.You only need to stop dialog instance before downtime and restart it after the downtime. Check the following stages from EHP4 installation guide :
    Actions During the Preprocessing Roadmap Step
    =============================================
    13. Before the downtime [page 72] begins, you stop all dialog instances, stop SAP Management
    Console (MMC) and Software Deployment Manager (SDM), stop jcmon and other standalone
    monitoring tools, and, if you are running an enhancement package installation in a high
    availability system, you stop the Java central instance and SCS instance.
    Actions During the Downtime Roadmap Step
    =======================================
    5. The installation program asks you to perform the following actions:
    n You back up the database.
    n You change the database recovery mode.
    n You start the dialog instances.
    Preparation of SAP System for Downtime (Phase DOWNCONF*)
    ========================================================
    You are requested in phase DOWNCONF_TRANS at the end of step Preprocessing to perform actions that
    prepare your SAP system for the downtime.
    Perform the following actions:
    1. Make sure that all production work in the SAP system is stopped and no users are logged on to
    the SAP system.
    2. Make sure that all dialog instances are shut down.  <<<===============
    3. Isolate the central instance.
    For more information, see Isolating the Central Instance in the document Troubleshooting and Administration
    5.10 Performing Actions Before Phase BEGIN_DOWNTIME
    ===================================================
    The downtime starts when the installation of the ABAP part has reached the DOWNCONF_TRANS phase.
    Procedure
    Before the downtime begins, perform the following actions:
    1. Stop all dialog instances. <<<===============

  • Installation EHP (1+2+3) 4 and Installation NW EHP1

    Hello,
    We have to install all EHP (1-4) for our ERP 6.0 (SPS9), and as well the EHP 1 for NW.
    We have all DVDs available (EHP4 READY, etc.)
    Have I install first the EHP 3 via SPAM/SAINT, and then the EHP4 with the EHPi ?
    Or can I start the installation with the DVD "EHP4 / EHP1NW Upgrade Master" ? If yes, how? There are just archives..
    Regards,

    Dear Rainer,
    the "EHP4 ready" DVD is for new customers (basically this is an up-to-date "ECC Server 6.0" without any EHP4 application components).
    As you have an existing ECC system you have to use the Maintenance Optimizer (SolMan 7.0 EHP1) to download the EHP and Support packages and generate the stack XML (which the EHP Installer requires).
    It makes no sense to install EHP3 (or any SP's first) - you will just double the effort. Hence SAP recommends to install EHP4 (with the EHP Installer) in one step.
    Note that there is only one technical exception: 32 Bit platforms, please refer to the Master Guide for more information.
    A good starting point to understand the overall concept is the Must Know Guide:
    http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001166742007E
    To learn more about the step-by-step the E2E EHP4 installation procedure I can recommend the How-To-Install EHP4 guide:
    http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000293582009E.PDF

  • Windows server edition/version  supports installation of  ERP 6.0

    Hi ,
    I am trying to install Solution manager 7.0 ,ERP 6.0. on windows OS.
    and Oracle database.
    My OS : Microsoft windows XP  Proffessional version 5.1 service pack 3 (32 bit)

    Could anyone give me the hardware and software requirements for installations of solution manager 7.0 and ERP 6.0. on windows.
    which windows server edition/version  supports installation of SOL MAN 7.0 and ERP 6.0 ?
    thanks.

    > Does Microsoft windows2008 server edition / windows 7/vista  supports installation of ERP 6.0  .
    Did you have a look at the PAM as suggest at http://service.sap.com/pam?
    Vista/Windows 7 are client operating systems and are not supported for ERP 6.0 or Solution Manager or any other backend.

  • BO4 Installation on AIX with DB2

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct forum in which to pose such a question.
    We are currently planning an installation of BO4 on AIX and our standard choice of database platform is DB2 UDB V9.7. I have analysed the numerous SAP planning and installation guides for BO4 but am unclear as to what file systems the installation will demand for the DB2 system. For a traditional SAP AS ABAP/Java installation we would be creating /db2/<SID>/sapdata1-4 but there appears to be no such requirement in BO4.
    Is there anyone out there who has performed this kind of installation or who has any useful information? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hello,
    just create a simple Schema in the Tablespace on any DB2 Database in your organisation you wish. Grant the user full access right to only this schema and your done. Prior for installing BI4 install the DB2 Client on the AIX Host where BI4 gets installed and configure it to access the newly created schema.
    Also check SAP Note - 1384629

    We have implemented SAP R/3 ERP 6.0, BI and BO with Crystal Reports.
    Is it possiable configure Single Sign On for the above servers with sigle point of login.
    Using NWBC we can connect single inteerface but is it possiable with SSO.
    Our SAP user must be able to access crystal reports from SAP menu, SAP user NEED NOT to enter another user ID and pwd while accessing Crystal report. His one time SAP login should be enough to use SAP programs as well as  crystal reports
    Similarly, if a user is defined in SAP BI,  he will be using same user ID , Pwd to access BO-Web-I reports
    Please suggest me on this.
    Regards,
    Sandeep K

    Hi Sandeep,
           You can import SAP roles and users in to BOE and then enable single sign. There are different options available to achieve this. Please refer to below links. That will give you some idea.

  • Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

    Dear community,
    I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
    The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
    - The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights.  As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
    - End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator.  This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
    We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
    I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
    Question 1:
    Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
    If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
    Question 2:
    Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
    Question 3:
    If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
    Thank you
    Best regards
    Jan Ruzarovsky
    SAP Business One Product Management

    Dear all,
    Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
    @Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
    We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
    1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
    It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
    2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
    3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
    The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
    Questions:
    If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
    1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
    - Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
    2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
    - Can you configure such a shared directory? 
    From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
    1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
    Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
    2. Automatic update:
       - Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
       - If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
    Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
    If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
    Best regards

  • I'm installing the newest itunes 64 bit on my win 7 64 bit professional os. using the itunes installer it loads itunes part way and then i get an error message saying that bonjour service failed to start. i cant get itunes any further. i have to back out

    I'm installing the newest version of Itunes over the last version on my laptop. win 7 pro os. it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I can't retry, ignore only cancel which un-installs all that it has installed and reverts me to the last version which i had. any idea?

    it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
    Sometimes we can get past that one by disabling the Bonjour Service prior to the install.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
