How to configure SAP 4.7 to Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster ?

We are using SAP 4.7 running on Oracle 9i with HP-UNIX clustering.
If we change our existing SAP 4.7 for Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster, is it very complicated ?
Do we need to re-install SAP and Oracle ?

Both 4.7 and Oracle 9 are already out of support.
If you plan to use RAC then I'd first upgrade the application and the database and then implement RAC. You won't have support for your environment without additional costs.

Linux set up for Oracle RAC (real application cluster)

Hi Guys,
I m wrkig as Oracle DBA.
Very curious to know the initials for RAC set up at OS level.
Can anyone provide his/her usefull guidelines for the same.
Although I know all steps at OS level also, but didn't did the set up of before Oracle RAC installation.
Want to increase knowlegde on like:
--how we sahre storage.
--how we set up network (private & virtual IP) and how can check working of NIC's.
--and other required things.
Will appreciate ur help and if someone want to share his/her personal experience.
Thx in advance.

Want to increase knowlegde on like:Here are very basic answers to very complex questions - from a pure Linux perspective running an Open Source stack and untainted kernel.
--how we sahre storage.Using multipath - this should ship with most 2.6 kernels. The kernel sees the shared storage LUNs as scsi devices - multipath does the rest. (and ASM can directly use a multipath device).
On a physical layer. Typical setup (on a RAC node) is using a HBA PCI card that runs fibre connections into a SAN switch. You can also use Infiniband (IB) as the I/O layer (as Oracle's Exadata database machine does). In this case the servers will use HCA PCI cards, run IB cables into the switch, and so will the storage array run an IB cable into the switch.
--how we set up network (private & virtual IP) and how can check working of NIC's.Depends on the achitecture choses as Interconnect. Typical choices are GigE or Infiniband (IB). Oracle's Exadata database machine (RAC) uses IB as already mentioned. (and is also our preferred Interconnect technology)
With IB you would use the OFED driver stack and have a range of ib.. commands available. These can be used to configure IP over IB (IPoIB) for use as an IP-based Interconnect, bonding of NICs, check a port's status, and so on.
--and other required things.As both Daniel and Hans indicated.. you are asking quite complex questions that require a manual (if not several) to be written in response. So best to refer to the manuals and OTN material available.
Also, if you and your company are serious about using RAC, then you should make use of Oracle's RAC Assurance group to assist you. They will provide you with starter kit information for the o/s selected. They will check every single configuration parameter afterwards and deliver a comprehensive report on what's wrong, what works and what doesn't. With recommended changes that need to be done.

Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster

Hi all,
In grid control, we receive an alert as global cache current block request time is 1.03 cs. and global cache current gets time is 0.44 cs..Please clarify whether it is alarming and can any remedial steps be taken.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Raj

Dear Raj,
Yeah, this statistics is alarming.
--> Which is your cluster interconnect ?
--> Are you using switch ?
--> Using oradebug ipc check, cluster inteconnect is using which network,public or private ?
--> Check the port speed settings.
--> Which os you are using ?
Thanks,

Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters Failover

I am running CFMX 6.1 with the 3.5 JDBC drivers and
connecting to a 2 node Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster. The
problem I am having is when one of the 2 nodes becomes unavailable;
CFMX does not seem to be failing over seamlessly to the second
node. Its almost as if the database connections need to first reach
the timeout limit setup in the datasource setting in CF Admin
before the will start to failover. I’m not 100% sure that
they are always even failing over after that has expired. I usually
end up having to restart CFMX service to renew the DB connections.
This is a pest when doing DB maintenance since it causes errors on
our site.
I do have Maintain Connections checked, with a 5 minute
timeout. I have my datasources setup as "Other" and am using the
following connection string:
jdbc:macromedia:oracle://Node1:1521;SERVICENAME=heartdrp;AlternateServers=(Node2:1521);Loa dBalancing=true
Does anyone have an experience of had similar problems with
CFMX not failover DB connections on an Oracle RAC system? Ideally,
the connections would immediately go to the other node in the RAC
if one node went down, but CF seems to keep trying to connect to
the original node, thus not allowing for a true "failover" setup.
I can provide more info if needed......THANKS!!

How to configure sap to use gmail as smtp server?

Hi experts,
I need to know how to configure gmail as my smtp server. In the scot transaction I don't see anywhere where to specify whether it is a ssh connection, ports for secure smtp, username, password.
Does anyone know how to configure sap to use gmail as the smtp server?
I've seen some similar threads about this, but they are of no help. Although they are classified as answered, in most cases the reason they are answered is because the person who made the query dropped the cause trying to make it work. I'd like to know for sure is this is possible or not.

Hi Camilo,
You can't set up gmail as your smtp server to handle this. gmail is an email server which generally are based on POP protocol. now for SAP to send mail to gmail, you would need one SMTP capable server which can relay those message received from SAP to configured email address.
As of WAS 6.10 SAP kernel supports SMTP without more components. i.e e-mails can be sent (or received) from the SAP system to each SMTP-compatible mail server. see SAP note 455140 for more details.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

stop. BAAN and Oracle will have an "implementation guide" or best practices. There is also the Oracle MAA Maximum Availability Architecture. Go Read those first.

What is Oracle 10g Release 2 Real Application Cluster?

Hello Guys,
I have been working in Oracle database 9i for last 2 years. Just using the simple features of oracle. Now our data have grown and company wants to enhance the database version and also want to perform load balancing at oracle's end.
Have heard a lot about Oracle RAC, but i am not sure what actually is oracle rac and its installation.
What is the difference between Oracle 10g Release 2 Enterprise Installation and Oracle 10g Release 2 Real Application Cluster installation. Are these 2 different softwares available on different CDs or RAC is only a different way to install oracle 10g database in RAC mode.
Please clerify and explain. Sorry this is a very beginner level question but i want to learn it and implement it.
Regards,
Imran Baig

What is the difference between Oracle 10g Release 2
Enterprise Installation and Oracle 10g Release 2 Real
Application Cluster installation. Are these 2Enterprise Edition is the database management software provided byu Oracle.
RAC is an extension to the Standard and Enterprise Edition to permit the same database to be managed from two or more computers. (Withe Enterprise Edition, it is an extra cost option. With Standard Edition, it is included in the price, since SE has other limitations.)
Conceptually, RAC is simple - IF you understand the difference between Instance and Database. RAC = 1 database managed by many instances
Physically, RAC requires a healthy investment in infrastructure - the infrastructure and the RAC software addresses the question: how do you get several computers able to read and write to the same disk and the same block without data corruption?
If you are serious about RAC, take a course. If you are in the US, consider http://www.psoug.org as an 'Intro to RAC' course provider.

Newbie question about Oracle Parallel Server and Real Application Cluster

I am trying to find out what kind of storage system is supported by the 9i Real Applicaton cluster. I have looked at the 8i Oracle Parallel Server which requires raw partitions and therefore NAS (network attached storage) that provides an interface at the file level will not work. Does anyone know if the 9i Real Application cluster has a similar requirement for raw partitions? any suggestions of whether SAN or other technology will be suitable? pointers to more information is appreciated.
Robert

Hi Derik,
I know this is a really broad question. No, it happens all the time! Here is a similar issue:
http://blog.tuningknife.com/2008/09/26/oracle-11g-performance-issue/
+"In the end, nothing I tried could dissuade 11g from emitting the “PARSING IN CURSOR #d+” message for each insert statement. I filed a service request with Oracle Support on this issue and they ultimately referred the issue to development as a bug. Note that Support couldn’t reproduce the slowness I was seeing, but their trace files did reflect the parsing messages I observed."+
I would:
1 - Start by examining historical SQL execution plans (stats$sql_plan or dba_hist_sql_plan). Try to isolate the exact nature of the decreased performance.
Are different indexes being used? Are you geting more full-table scans?
2 - Migrate-in your old 10g CBO statistics
3 - Confirm that all init.ora parms are identical
4 - Drill into each SQL with a different execution plan . . .
Raid 5 Don't believe that crap that all RAID-5 is evil. . . .
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_raid5_acceptable_oracle.htm
But at the same time, consider using the Oracle standard, RAID-10 . . .
Hope this helps . . .

How to configure multiple report servers in Oracle 10 G R2?

I want to configure multiple report servers with my application deployed on Oracle 10G R2. Since R2 does not support report server clustering, how can this be achieved without any change in the application?
Currently, the application is running with single report server.

Hi Martin,
Well we are trying to run a report without exactly specifying the name of reports server anywhere, e.g. in database or in form or anywhere else. Now if I do not supply a reports server name using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, the error it displays is FRM-41211: Integration Error : SSL failure ... However if I specify the reports server name in the form, the reports run perfect. Also the name of reports server is specified in rwservlet.properties.
Now the question goes as follows:
Can I run my report from Form without specifying the name of the Reports server anywhere at all. This is so because either an in-process reports server should be picked or the one which is entered in rwservlet.properties should be pickec up by default. Please correct us if we are wrong. once we are through with it, we have to move to Oracle 10gR2 concept of reports server.
Thanks in anticipation,
Ruchi/Saurabh

How to configure Solaris 10 IPMP for Oracle VDI 3.3.2

Hi,
Does anyone have an indication on how to configure Solaris 10 IPMP in a manner that supports Oracle VDI?
We have setup two servers with 2 test addresses on physical and 1 logical for the hostname of the box, but when we configure VDI the VDI database does not come up on the 2nd box. We have also tried configuring IPMP without test addresses, but it doesn't make any difference - the DB still doesn't go into the up state after configuration on the 2nd server.
Solaris 10 u9 with patches
Two physical NICs on management VLAN via 2 switches
Two physical NIcs on VDI VLAN via 2 switches
VDI 3.3.2
All hostnames are in DNS and resolve for short name, FQDN and also reverse IP lookup
The is a proposal pdf on Oracle website that mentions IPMP, so someone has done it. Just could do with a hint on how it was done so that it works.
( http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/vdi-design-proposal-1401195.pdf )
Thanks
Paul

OK, updating this with what was causing the issue.
Not an IPMP problem this was a DNS problem. The VDI servers have access to two DNS environments, so had a DNS search path that had the domain where the VMs where going to go and another for management of the box with two DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.
We configured VDI using the FQDN for the management DNS, however the vda-config script takes the hostname of the box adds the first DNS domain from /etc/resolv.conf search entry and configures using (it seams to ignore what you put into the vda-config). When the config script comes to configuring MySQL because the names didn't match (FQDN it created by adding hostname to the 1st entry in DNS search path & FQDN that you put into vda-config command), it decides that it is configuring a "Client MySQL" instance rather than a "Slave MySQL" instance, which means the VDA DB never comes up in the out of vda-center status.
So the fix is to:
1) configure IPMP without test addresses (so traffic comes out of the correct IP and can be reverse looked up in DNS by the other host)
2) if you have multiple DNS search entries, configure VDI using the first entry in your search path as its FQDN
