Homogeneous system copy for SQL server 2005

Hi All,
I am currently investigating for the method to perform system copy for a PI system with SQL server 2005 database. Using the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR2 ABAP+Java as guide, I can see reference to Note 151603. However, I am unable to get a copy of that note. Searching for the note from the official SAP Notes Search area indicated that it is currenytly only avaiable internally.
Would anyone know where I will be able to get a copy of that note?
Thanks,
Wi

PI is version 7.1 (not 7.0) - so you need to use a different system copy guide.

HotFix4 for SQL Server 2005 doesn't work

I am having problems getting a machine running SQL Server 2008 R2 (Express) to connect to a SQL Server 2005 (Full Standard Edition) DB on another machine via the LAN. It times out when connecting from a C# application. SSMS on the SQL 2008 machine
connects fine, but SSMS on the 2005 machine (connecting to a copy of the same DB on the 2008 machine) says it isn't supported and I need a hotfix.
I downloaded the hotfix link from Microsoft, but when I paste it into the Browser I get a DNS name failure for the Hotfix4 server. I don't want to paste the full link here because it is not made public by MS and you need to request it. However, the
first part of the URL is: http://hotfix4.microsoft.com/SQL%20Server%202005...etc.
I have checked out all of the obvious things in both instances (2005 AND 2008)... Both instances are configured to accept remote connections, both have TCP/IP and named pipes protocols enabled, both are running fine for local connections, both have the SQL
Browser enabled and the Computer Browser Service running on the network.
As the hot fix doesn't install, I am kind of out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pete

I would have additional questions.
1. In note 516246(System copy for SAP Systems based on SAP Web AS 6.20)
it is mentioned to download the latest version of R3LDCTL and apply it
to the system. I have following questions:
under service.sap.com/patches
i found only
R3LDCTL
Support Package SAP KERNEL 4.5B 32-BIT Windows Server on IA32 32bit
ORACLE
Is this file ok?(I will perform a homogeneous system copy of an 4.7x1.1
system)
If the file is ok what is meant as apply?(put it in kernel directory?)
2. Very similar question applies to file R3szchk
under service.sap.com/patches I found only
R3szchk
Support Package SAP KERNEL 4.6C 32-BIT Windows Server on IA32 32bit
ORACLE
Is this file ok?(I will perform a homogeneous system copy of an 4.7x1.1
system)
3.In same note(516246) the SAPinst CD is mentioned. How could I get it?
4.On the Source system I have kernel 640. I guess I have to copy the
content of this directory to the target system also. But in which phase?

hi,
first my question GGG
-> by which means do you plan to copy? brbackup/brrestore? r3copy? r3load?
ad 1.
SAPNet -> Patches -> Add. Components -> SAP Kernel -> 32 BIT (uni oder non-uni depending on your environment) -> SAP Kernel 6.40 32-bit -> Windows Srv -> Oracle -> R3ldctl_6-20000185.SAR (13.07.2006) is the right file (your kernel is 6.40!!!)
ad 2.
SAPNet -> Patches -> Add. Components -> SAP Kernel -> 32 BIT (uni oder non-uni depending on your environment) -> SAP Kernel 6.40 32-bit -> Windows Srv -> Oracle -> R3szchk_12-20000185.SAR is the right file (your kernel is 6.40!!!)
ad 3.
SAPNet -> SWDC (= Downloads) -> Download -> Inst. and Upgrades -> Entry by applic. group -> SAP Applic. Components -> SAP R/3 Enterprise -> Ent. 47X110 -> Installation -> Windows Server -> Oracle -> CD SAP R3E 4.7x1.10 SR1 SAPINST ORACLE (CD N° 51019679)
ad 4.
not really....it depends on the strategy (see my question above)...you first install the database software (oracle), then the central instance using sapinst, afterwards you will install the database instance using sapinst as well; while installing the db instance you have to chose db copy (or homogeneous copy, system copy) as the "database installation method" if you choose to copy the database files or did a backup if you choose to use the export/import method (using standard r3load) you will use the SystemCopy method as well but you will point (later on) to the directory where you (source) db export lies.
brrestore or copy method:
=========================
sapinst will popup at the appropriate point that the db load has to be done and depending on your strategy you have either to restore or copy files...
by the way: did you already export/backup/copy your source system?
if any further questions arise feel free to post

Error deploying JDBC driver for SQL Server 2005

Hi all
I'm trying to deploy a JDBC driver for MS SQL Server 2005 (downloaded [here|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en]). When I try to deploy it according to the instructions found [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/51/735d4217139041e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] it fails.
The error in the logs doesn't give any useful information though. It only says Error occurred while deploying component ".\temp\dbpool\MSSQL2005.sda".
Has anyone else deployed a driver for SQL Server 2005, or perhaps have any suggestions of what else I could try?
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Vladimir
That's excellent news! Thanks for the effort you've put into this. I'm very impressed with how seriously these issues are dealt with, specifically within the Java EE aspects of SAP.
May I make two suggestions on this topic:
1. Given that NWA has such granular security permissions, please could the security error be shown when it is raised? This would help immediately identify that the problem isn't actually a product error, but rather a missing security permission (and thus save us time and reduce your support calls).
2. Please could the role permissions be clearly documented (perhaps they already are, and I just couldn't find the docs?) so we know what is and isn't included in the role. The name is very misleading, as a "superadmin" is generally understood to have no limitation on their rights - so clear documentation on what is in-/excluded would be most helpful.
On a related topic, I came across another issue like this that may warrant your attention (while you're already looking into NWA security issues). I logged a support query about it (ref: 0120025231 0000753421 2008) in case you can retrieve details there (screenshots, logs, etc.). It's basically a similar security constraint when trying to create a Destination. I'm not sure if this is something you would like to include as standard permissions within the NWA_SUPERADMIN role or not, but I think it's worth consideration.
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers
Stuart

Homogeneous System Copy for 4.5B/DB6/W2K ?

I'm looking for the documentation on doing a homogeneous system copy for an R/3 4.5B System for a client. They are running DB6 on Windows 2000. I've searched Service Marketplace and can only find doc's back as far as 4.6C. I can't find the one for 4.5B.
The client is looking to migrate the current system to new hardware and then subsequently upgrade to ECC 6.00, but that part is off a piece. The first part is to migrate the system to the new hardware in order to solve some space and performance issues.
If anyone can point me to the docs, or has a copy on their local machines they can send me, then please let me know.
Thanks.

I suggest you open an OSS call under BC-INS and ask for the guide there.
Since 4.5B is out of maintenance and you/your customer has (hopefully) an extended maintenance contract for that version they will give you that guide.
If you do NOT have them, you might be pretty lost in case of a problem, if you have the guide or not...

Cannot set up data source for SQL Server 2005

Is it possible to use Microsoft's Beta 2 version of the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver with WebLogic 9.0? I've downloaded the driver and added it to my server classpath, but when I try to create a new data source using the admin console, the drop-down list for Microsoft SQL Server only contains drivers for the 2000 version. If I select "Other" from the list and try to move on, I get a cryptic, page-long error on the admin console. If I just select the 2000 driver and try to manually modify the parameters on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sabrina

on the next set of screens, I still get errors when I try to test the configuration. I've successfully used a third-party driver before, but this one does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
SabrinaHere I describe the steps I took to bypass the console in making a new pool.
1 - Edit the script %DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\startWebLogic.cmd to add a line like this:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;\new_ms_driver\beta2\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
In other words, you have to explicitly add a third party driver's classes to
the CLASSPATH that will be in effect for the server. Just adding the driver
to your window's class path will do nothing.
2 - Go to the directory %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\jdbc, where you will find
files of the name *-jdbc.xml. Each of these represents a DataSource.
Copy one of them, perhaps either examples-demo-jdbc.xml, or
examples-demoXA-jdbc.xml depending on whether you want to make an XA
or non-XA pool. Make you new file's name like the name of the DataSource,
still ending in -jdbc.xml. Eg: MS_Beta-jdbc.xml
3 - Edit this file to change as much as would be clear for the
driver you want. Eg: change the driver class to the class you want,
the user name, URL, test table etc. Also, change the pool's initial
capacity to 0. This is so the pool can be created without making a
connection. We need that because the password is encrypted, and
there is no manual way for you to add the correct one yet.
4 - go one directory up, and edit the config.xml. Find a
jdbc-system-resource entry corresponding to the original
resource file you copied. Make a new entry in the config file,
like the original, but change the Datasource name to your new one.
5 - If this all went well, reboot your server and go to your data
source in the console, and edit it. Alter the password to what it
really should be, and you can also change whatever else you might
want.
6 - shut down again, and reboot, and you should then be able to go to
your data source in the console and test a connection.
That's it. Here is an example of a jdbc.xml file I made, and
the entry I made in the config.xml:
config/jdbc/newpool-jdbc.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Homogeneous System copy for Netweaver 2004S SR1 ABAP+JAVA- Oracle/windows

Hi All,
I am planning to do Homogeneous System copy of our production system to New Test system which SID is different from production system. I don't want to do system copy through SAPinst(R3load) because I cannot down our production server. I want to create the New test system from the offline back.
I have already installed our new system. I want to do system copy through Oracle-Specific Procedure as mentioned in the system copy documents.
Could you please tell me how to do sytem copy step by step and how to change the SID.
Thanks in advance.

I am looking for any SAP supported process/method to perform system copies or transports with these products to set a standardized landscape where N1 (DEV) -> N1 (QA) --> [ Block Point ] --> N (DEV) --> N (QA) --> N (Pre-Prod) --> N (Prod).
With ECC, BI, CRM, etc its all solid and proven processes for doing this. However with the products from everyone else's bag of tricks without SAP standards, we are wondering how do we integrate it into the development streams for Unit Test, Integration Test, System Test to deploy.
If anyone knows of a method for performing a homogeneous system copy from one box to another for the following, I would truely like to see it.
1. PCM (Windows - App) - PCM (Windows - Web) - PCM (Windows - DB / SQLServer )
2. Vendavo (Windows - APP ) -- Vendavo (LINUX - DB / Oracle)
3. BOBJ XI Dataserver (LINUX - DB / Oracle)
I have seem some info on the BOBJ XI side of using a biar file but I don't know if that also applies to the Dataserver piece. At this point the message is that we build new and everyone rekeys data which flys like a lead ballon.
If anyone has places to look, please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
by default, BOE doesnt have such a option to copy your System like BW has.
You could proceed as follows:
1. setup your new BOE Server
2. Copy thr FRS from the old to the new BOE Server
3. Copy the CMS DB using cmsdbsetup.sh (UNIX) or the CCM from the old DB to the new DB
4. Run the "Update Objects" option
5. Login to the CMC of the new BOE to delete the old Server entries under "Server"

ODBC Drivers for SQL Server 2005 on AIX for OWB connect

Hi All -
I have a problem whereby I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005. The problem statement follows: -
Infrastructure: -
OWB Server installed on AIX
Oracle Installed on AIX
SQL Server 2005 source on Windows
OWB Client on windows XP
My problem is: -
I am trying to connect OWB with SQL Server 2005 for which I have to create heterogenous source entry in Oracle home. But AIX box does not have any ODBC drivers installed and hence I can not configure a DSN on the same. Can any one suggest where can I get these drivers and their installation steps.
Thanks in advance!
Arun

I was not able to find DG4ODBC anywhere.
Somehow I managed to get a copy of Data Drivers from Data Direct and configured ODBC.INI file as below: -

# ODBC specific environment variables
#set ODBCINI= /u01/app/ODBC/odbc.ini
I have tested the DSN created in ODBC.INI file using example appplication that comes by default with datadirect drivers and that is connecting to database and fetching data as per query supplied, but when I am trying to create connecting from OWB to SQL Server it is failing with following error: -
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from OWB_188
Even database link is giving same error message.
I have followed all the steps which are necessary to configure Heterogeneous connectiviyt including restarting listener, but no luck.
Any comments

Arc is not implemented for SQL Server 2005 physical model

I added the Arc in my relational model, which is supposed to provide that references are mutually exclusive (so only one refering column can be not null). However there is not any implementation for this in the SQL Server 2005 physical model. The SQL code generated simply ignores the Arc and allows any values for the columns covered by Arc. If we check Oracle physical model. then it generates some trigger, which controls how many columns have values assigned - this is actually an implementation of Arc. But there is nothing of this kind for SQL Server model...
By the way, implementing this Arc by trigger looks like to heavy approach. The very simple table level check constraint will do the same job. But this is a different subject though.

Hi Dmitry,
it's fixed in Data Modeler 3.1 EA2.
