HACMP Clustering Script for SAP ECC 6.0 (SR1) - Automatic Failover

Hello,
I have installed the SAP ECC 6.0 (SR1) under AIX 5.3 / DB2 V8 FP12 with HACMP Clustering environment. Manual Failover is working fine. Central System has been installed in share drive with Virtual IP and Virtual name inNode A. Dialog Instance is loaded locally in Node B. I want to get HACMP Clustering script(automatic failover script) for Automation. Please help me if you have. It is single package clustering. If Node A fails, Node B will take care ( Central System and Dialog instance will run in Node B)
Thanks

  • Disaster Recovery server for SAP and HACMP Cluster script for SAP ECC 6.0

    Hi,
    I need  document for Disaster Recovery server for SAP? I have to configure the DR Server If you have, please share this document if possible.
    Have you any cluster script ( HACMP Cluster script for SAP ECC 6.0 ) ?
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hello, I'm doing a "Plant ECC6 to do a test disatre / Recovery.
    During the installation, I would use the same <sidadm> existing as it is in the PRD.
    If I tell you to install it during the same <sidadm> it will overwrite what already exists, or do I just enter the password of existing <sidadm>?

  • Disaster Recovery For SAP ECC 6.0 On Oracle

    Hi All,
    This is our infrastructure
    Windows 2003 Server
    SAP ECC 6.0
    Oracle 10
    Legato Networker Client / Library
    Actually our Backup Strategy is to do an Online Backup Every Night from monday to saturday. We want to test our backup by doing a Restore. We are assuming a complete loss of the system including hardware.
    What we do:
    1. Install the SAP System on a new host with the same hardware characteristic of the source system.
    2. Install & Configure the legato utility.
    3. Copy the E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\ directory from the source system to the test system.
    4. Them we put the database in mount mode.
    5. Execute the command: brrestore -b bdyxwoqv.fnf -m full  (bdyxwoqv.fnf-> Full Online Backup that was executed without problems).
    It gives the following errors:
    BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA2\SR3_10\SR3.DATA10' reported as not found by
    backup utility
    BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA3\SR3700_9\SR3700.DATA9' reported as not foun
    d by backup utility
    BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
    BR0279E Return code from 'backint -u MIS -f restore -i E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\.
    rdyybrzp.lst -t file -p E:\oracle\MIS\102\database\initMIS.utl': 2
    BR0374E 0 of 63 files restored by backup utility
    BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
    BR0231E Backup utility call failed
    BR0406I End of file restore: rdyybrzp.rsb 2008-10-01 17.45.19
    BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
    BR0404I BRRESTORE terminated with errors
    Since this is a new SAP system it never will find the SAPDATA files because they where on the source system and this is a new test system.
    We found the following note:
    96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on Oracle
    But this note is for SAP R/3 no for SAP ECC!
    It explain that you have to install your SAP system with the System Copy Method (is this the only way??).
    2.) Installation of the R/3 System
    The installation of SAP software contains the software installation of the database. The initial SAP database should be created again but the SAP data should not be loaded.
    Install the SAP system with the Oracle-specific system copy method, which is based on backup/restore. This method is described in the system copy guide for your Product/Release. Refer to Note 659509 for products that are based on Web AS.
    3.) Modification of the installation
    Above all, you must take into account the mounted file systems at the time of the loss. If necessary create new SAPDATA directories (mount points). These generally identify a disk or a logical storage area (logical volume).
    Are we working in the right way? maybe there is a formal procedure to do a Restore from an Online backup when you complete loss your system.
    Please some tips.
    Best Regards,
    Erick Ilarraza

    Hi Eric,
    Thanks a lot for your reply, I will follow the Note 96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on ORACLE point 5.
    5.) Restore profile and log files, as you sayed in case of disaster we will lost our "source" system.
    On the other hand to configure the legato client we take care of the name of the server, we configured the .sap, .cfg and .utl files so in theory the restore will be done on the new test system since we run the brrestore command from that system.
    Officially there is not a documentation from SAP to do a Restore from a Online Backup with SAP ECC, SAP Netweaver (ABAP / ABAP + Java). You only have the 96848 note??? I found the following information:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/65/cade3bd0c8545ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    But there is not a official procedure like a System Copy Guide or Installation Guide.

  • Sql Server configuration requirements for SAP ECC 6.0

    Dear  All,
    I am using Sql server 2005 Enterprise as data store for Sap ecc 6.0.There are certain configuration requirements to be done while installing it so that sapinst.exe (sap installer) is able to use it to create its own DB's.
    For eg it requires a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 whereas the default that gets installed is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
    Like this there are other requirements which I am not aware of.Most of the docs available on the Internet are talking of ecc 6.0  with Oracle 10.2G which is the most common combination.I am having docs for this combination.
    I am installing ecc for the first time.
    *I am unable to download docs from sap. marketplace as it requires a login given to certified users or sap purchasers.I am neither.*
    Can anyone help me with this.If anyone has ECC 6.0 installation guide with sql server it will be serve my purpose.
    Thanks for your efforts.

    "Excuse me?
    What he is doing is illegal , you know what that means, right? If you don't believe me, read the license that comes on the first installation DVD.
    Actually, I even think it's kind of barefaced to ask in the forum of the software vendor for help! I mean, it's like asking in a bank forum how to rob and fraud the bank! You - and many others - may think that it's right and ok to do that. I tell you: it is not. Not for "home use", not for personal use, not at all.
    You can use the software available here in the SDN to lean and study, that's why it's there.
    If you deal at all with copied software, then just be smart enough to make other people not notice. He can be happy if he's not prosecuted (which would legally be possible)."
    Do u understand what is legal or illegal? Have u read the license in full?
    The license does not put any limit on the number of users.So if I am using it means that one more user has been added by the license holder.
    Therefore there is nothing illegal about it.
    It would have unethical (not illegal) if the software is being used for a business purpose other than for which it has been purchased.
    Since it being used for training purpose the above does not hold good.
    In fact it is SAP who is benefited in the long run bec' after a person learns it technology because  he is going to implement it somewhere, for which the concerned user will have to purchase a license.Therefore I am helping SAP to increase its business.
    But there are some stupid people who don't understand these things but are ready to shout at the top of their voice thinking themselves to be intelligent.

  • File system for SAP ECC, EP , BI and CRM installation on Solaris/DB2

    Hello,
    We are going to implement SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7, BI and CRM on Solaris operating system with IBM DB2 database.
    All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
    But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
    Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    If anyone able to help me with required Solaris file system. it will be great help.
    Please let me know if there is any query.
    Thanks.

    > All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.

    Why not using Solaris zones/container? This decreases the administrative amount tremendeously since you will deal as with "single machines" but they all run together on one box.
    > Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    So you'd need to read the installation guides

  • List of Components for SAP ECC 6. 0 EHP4 NW 7.01

    Hi Experts,
    How to find the list of components for SAP ECC 6. 0 EHP 4 NW 7.01.
    Regards,
    IFF

    Hi,
    Two ways I could think of:
    - Best would be goto http://service.sap.com/pam -> search for ERP 2005 EhP5 and check in the "Included components for <technical usage>" section. For this you would need to know the scenario for which you need ERP 2005 EhP4
    - If a solution manager is available, goto tcode SMSY -> Product Definitions -> SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE and select EhP4.

  • License Key Request from SOLMAN VS SMP for SAP ECC 6.0 EPH4 IDES install

    Hi, SDN fellows.
    I have some doubt on the right way/options to request License Key for SAP ECC 6.0 EPH4 IDES.
    Previously, I read that the only way to get license key is to generate it through SAP Solution Manager. If this is the only way, we will have to install Solution Manager just to generate the license  key (we are currently don't have SolMan running in our landscape).
    I also read that I can request license key through http://service.sap.com/licensekey. I checked the link and see that we have the 10 digits installation number for Product: SAP ERP.. Currently there is no system defined for this installation number.
    I went through the first two screens, seems like they have options for SAP ERP 6 --> IDES.
    If I can get a license key from http://service.sap.com/licensekey, do I still need to install Sol. Man. to generate the license key?
    What are the difference the license key generated from Sol. Man. VS the one we request from SMP?
    Thanks,
    KC

    Hi, Vishnu.
    So, now I understand I need two keys: Solution Key and also License key.
    I should obtain Solman key before I start installation , as the SAPinst will ask to enter Solman key before it can proceed to install SAP ECC IDES.
    You said I can obtain Solman key through OSS note. I went in to SMP just now. Navigated to Help& Support --> Report a Product Error --> New Problem Solving Request.
    I selected Customer Number, Product, Instillation # , and enter  * for  System ID. The search result returned no system found. The problem here is we don't really have any system ID defined for SAP ERP IDES since we haven't start installing the system.
    Is that true that I will only see the System ID in OSS Message interface when I submit the System ID for the license key?
    I thought this is a post-installation step to apply for a license key. If I can to do it before the installation, how can I get the 11 character hardware key before installation (assuming I cannot run the SLICENSE TCode and saplikey u2013get command)?
    OR how can I create OSS message to request SolMan key when I don't have a system ID (that already registered for license key) in SMP?
    OR I should just go ahead to install Solution Manager to generate Solman key (during pre-installation), and request for license key in SMP in post-installation?
    Thanks for advise,
    KC

  • Scripts for SAP mappings

    To generate the scripts for SAP mappings:
    - From the Warehouse Module Editor menu, choose Module then Generate.
    - The Generation Mode dialog
    hi i don't find the "generation mode dialog". where i find it?
    robson
    thanks.

    hi,
         the reboot of a system can be of broadly two types.
    1) done by the user
    2) abrupt shutdown say due to power failure.
       if you closely look at the file inittab under /etc/ you will find different files are executed for different run levels. For powerfailure also there is a script called powerfail under /etc/init.d/. with different options.
    under init.d directory you can find all the scripts for different run levlels starting from rc0-rc6, halt named script  , and reboot named script.
    . So to solve your problem you can write a script and execute it under this files. Changing all these files are not at all recommended as any mistake can lead to a system halt state. But still we can make the changes if we know what are we doing and definitely you can try if are having a test system with you.
    the logic will go something like this:-->
    1) for shutdown
        respawn a new shell
        login as <sid>adm
        execute the command i.e stopsap
        exit from that user
    same goes for startup also.
    now only you have to run this script in the appropriate files at appropriate places(most important).
    but the main problem comes when system goes down as sap system takes time to stop so you have to make your OS wait uptill that which may be a tedious task.
    . the above discussion was keeping SUSE linux enterprise server in mind.
    Please do not make any changes in the above mentioned file if you  are running a crucial 
    system on that OS. try only on  a test system.
    revert back in case of any query..
    cheers,

  • AIX6.1+HACMP+DB2 9.1+SAP ECC 6.0 High Availablity Installation

    Dear All,
    This is to request you that anyone having a sure shot Installation guide /Solution to Install SAP in High Availablity using following platform.
    1. AIX 6.1
    2. DB2 9.1
    3. HACMP
    4. ECC 6.0 SR 2
    Note: Not Failover by scripting. High Availablity like Microsoft MCSC. Complete installation on Virtual host, IP and Shared File system/stirage.
    Please....................................................
    Regards
    Dharmendra

    Installing SAP NW07 SR3 with DB2 on AIX HACMP
    Scenario:-
    DB will run on Node A
    SAP CI will run on Node B
    If node A fails DB will failover to Node B
    If node B fails CI will failover to Node A
    Shared SAP and DB filesystem are in SAN
    Filesystems will failover accordingly
    Requirements:-
    SAP NW07 SR3 DVDs
    AIX Node A
    AIX Node B
    HACMP supports node failures. We are not using HACMP to probe Application (SAP/DB) failures. i.e. if SAP or DB process crashes HACMP will not failover the resource groups.
    /etc/hosts should have IPs of both nodes
    Assumptions:-
    PRD = PRD
    Node A hostname: dbserver
    Node B hostname: ciserver
    Shared filesystems
    These filesystems can be moved/ failed over (unmounted /mounted) from one node to another.
    /usr/sap/PRD
    /sapmnt/PRD
    /db2/PRD
    /db2/db2prd
    /db2/PRD/sapdata1
    /db2/PRD/sapdata2
    /db2/PRD/sapdata3
    /db2/PRD/sapdata4
    /db2/PRD/log_dir
    /db2/PRD/db2dump
    Users and Groups will be created by SAPINST.
    Please make a note of the UIDs as we have to use the same UIDs and GIDs on other node as well.
    User Home directory:- For prdadm please use a home directory on shared disk
    For e.g. /usr/sap/PRD/home/prdadm
    Use Distributed Installation option in SAPINST
    Installation steps:-
    Node A:
    Mount SAP filesystems
    Mount DB2 filesystems
    Check /etc/hosts that IP of both nodes are available
    Ping both nodes and check the IP address
    Check output of command ifconfig u2013a and confirm that both IPs are available
    Start SAPINST with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME option.
    For e.f.    ./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=dbserver
    Step 1: Global host preparation (this should be easy to finish)
    Step 2: Database instance installation
    During this step note down UIDs and GIDs created by sapinst.
    During this step please choose /usr/sap/PRD/home/prdadm as user home for prdadm user.
    With SR3 DVDs db2 software will be installed in /db2/PRD/db2_software
    Step 3: Install SAP Central Instance with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=ciserver
    Stop / Start SAP -> Login and confirm SAP instance is running fine.
    Shutdown SAP and DB2
    Add entries in .rhosts in home directory on user prdadm and db2prd
    For example in /usr/sap/PRD/home/prdadm/.rhots
    <IP Address of Node A> prdadm
    <IP Address of Node B> prdadm
    <all possible IP address> prdadm
    Similarly for /db2/db2prd/.rhosts
    <IP Address of Node A> db2prd
    <IP Address of Node B> db2prd
    <all possible IP address> db2prd
    Node B:
    Move SAP resources from Node A to B (i.e. SAP filesystems should become available on Node B)
    DO NOT MODE DB RESOURCES, Let it stay on Node A alone.
    Create /db2/PRD and /db2/db2prd directories (this should have some free space, 10 GB is good to go)
    Start SAP installation under Distributed installation option
    Step 1:  Global host preparation
    Temporarily change /etc/hosts and make the IP of dbserver same as ciserver.
    dbserver line should be written above ciserver line
    i.e. u2018ping dbserveru2019 and u2018ping ciserveru2019 should return same IP address on Node B (NOT NODE A)
    Step 2: Database instance installation with option SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=dbserver
    During this installation, make sure UIDs and GIDs are given same as in Node A.
    You can confirm the UIDs from /etc/passwd   and GID from /etc/group
    Also, make sure you specify user home for prdadm as /usr/sap/PRD/home/prdadm
    Once installation starts ABAP Load and one or two jobs are completed, please cancel the installation.
    as db2prd
    db2stop force
    db2start
    db2 connect to PRD
    It should be successful. This confirms the DB2 is setup properly.
    db2stop terminate
    db2stop force
    rm u2013r /db2/db2prd/*
    rm u2013r /db2/PRD/sapdata1
    rm u2013r /db2/PRD/sapdata2
    rm u2013r /db2/PRD/sapdata3
    rm u2013r /db2/PRD/sapdata4
    rm u2013r /db2/PRD/log_dir
    rm u2013r /db2/PRD/db2dump
    Retain these directories so that you can mount the shared filesystems from Node A to Node B during failover.
    Change and correct IP address in /etc/hosts of host dbserver, which we changed temporarily earlier.
    Failover DB resources to Node B
    Check if all DB2 filesystems are correctly available.
    On Node A, check and double confirm that there are no files/directories under /db2 and its subdirectories. i.e. all filesystems have come to Node B.
    In our case there was one filesystem /db2/PRD/db2prd which did not come to node B and we had to struggle a lot to find the same.

  • MessageBox on Adobe Form in SAP MSS PCR for SAP ECC 5.0

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the behavior of Adobe form messagebox in SAP HR MSS PCR (Personal Change Request)
    I tried to test how the messagebox looks like, and so I created a PCR scenario with an Adobe form. This form contains a datetime field. I added the script "xfd.host.messageBox("this is message", "this is title") to the "exit" event of the datetime field. Then I did all the necessary steps so that this PCR is displayed in the Portal.
    Now at the runtime, when I select a date value from the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed, BUT within an empty Adobe Reader page. It is not displayed on the top of my adobe form.
    But the strange thing is that when I use tab key to navigate through the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed on the top of my adobe form, without the empty Adobe Reader page.
    I also tried my script with several different event types, including "Change", and "Validate", it behaves the same way. But when I tried it with the event type "MouseExit", no empty Adobe reader page is shown up at all (of course, this is not the right event type for me)
    The environment is SAP ECC 5.0, SAP MSS business package for ECC 5.0, SAP Portal 7.0 (NW 2004s), Adobe LiveCycle 7.1, and Adobe Reader 8.1.1
    Has anyone experienced this? I'd really appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Harrison

    Antony,
    The Adobe Reader version is 8.1.1
    Just wondering if you used messageBox in interactive forms with ISR framework, and it worked well for you?
    Thanks.
