How to upgrade SAP Kernel in clustered environment

I have a SAP R3 4.6 C installed on cluster environment, such that if one server goes down, the second clustered server takes the charge of all the resources from failing server. Also I have 6 application servers.
This is the reason, I have to mantain the SAP exe files in /exe/run on the 6 different application servers seperately. My question is: If I have a shared directory for exe files on central instance, and it goes down, then the 6 application servers will lose connection to those exe files. Then, how should I then connect these 6 apps servers to exe files of the 2nd failover clustered server?
So please let me know how to resolve this problem.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the update. The cluster is installed with virtual host. But unfortunately we have all exe files seperately on different 6 app servers. Should we NFS mount the exe directory on all apps server. Is NFS mounting sufficient or there are any additional steps to done. I heard that we have to activate sapcpe on the apps server.
Also after the kernel upgrade, do we have to distribute it on all the apps servers. Can you kindly guide me in this issue.
Thanks,
Arun

Reg UPgrading SAP Kernel for ECC 6.0

Hi,
We have a ECC 6.0 SAP System.
The current kernel in our system is 133.
We wanted to upgrade the Kernel
We have the following kernel versions
146
159
175
179
185
We wanted to know the stable kernel versions among the above and general issues encountered in the kernels
Please advice

Just go to the latest kernel.... no point in going from an old kernel to another old kernel. Usually kernels are released every quarter so just get the latest available.

Upgrading SAP Kernel

I need to upgrade the Kernel of our 620 BW System as it hasn't been done for a couple of years.
The current level is 1393 and DB 1467.
I have downloaded the following:
SAPEXE 1773 - (Kernel part 1 for Stack Q4-2004) and
SAPEXEDB 1773 - (Kernel part II for Stack Q4-2004)
Just wondering if this stack will contain all outstanding files from our current level? Does this look like the correct version to install.
Many thanks!
Marie

Hi Marie,
Yes the 640 Kernel is supported, as it is downwards compatible. By the way we are running all our 620 systems with the 640 Kernel also on Windows/SQL.
Maybe your problem is a result of a missing profile parameter (in default profile), that has changed.
Missing parameter is dbs/mss/server=<hostname>\<instance>.
Take a look at SAP note 858449.
Another tip is maybe the librfc32.dll in the <windir>\system32 directory of your server, that also has to be updated. (Please don't rename or move the old file, copy it to another name or directory to make a backup, before you replace it with the new one! You risk to mix up some registry information).
Did you had any errors while copying the new (640) kernel to the ..\sys\exe\run directory ? (file in use or so?)
Are you sure you have stopped every thing before you replaced the kernel ? (SAP, DB, saposcol, sapmmc, and all sap-services) ?
Sometimes (can't explain) a boot of the server helps clean up errors that can't be explained
Can you give some more information about your error (Error: 9007041D) is not much information....
And last yes the sap_droproc is necessary, specially if you upgrade the kernel (is mentioned in SAP note 664679).
I hope you can solve your "upgrade"...

How to upgrade SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Editon

Dear All,
    My environment configured 2 Servers for SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation with Active/Passive. Then I Would like to upgrade from SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Edition with Active/Passive
on same 2 Servers.
    I would like you help to share me the step how to upgrade from SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Edition.
    I should upgrade on both Servers or just upgrade only one of them?
    I should upgrade on Active node first or passive node first?
    During upgrade, I should bring offline resource before upgrade?
I saw only step upgrade evaluation edition on standalone Server but can't find information for upgrade on Cluster environment.
Could you please help provide me the step for do this.

Hello,
As per this MS article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx
Upgrading from Evaluation Enterprise (a free edition) to any of the paid editions is supported for stand-alone installations, but is not supported for clustered installations.
Changing the edition of a SQL Server 2012 failover cluster is limited. The following scenarios are not supported for SQL Server 2012 failover clusters:
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise to SQL Server 2012 Developer, Standard, or Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Developer to SQL Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation to SQL Server 2012 Standard.
So i think upgrade to Standard edition is not possible on cluster.
What you can do is take full and transaction log backup of All databases.Backup your users and logins and jobs by script method.
Now destroy SQL server 2012 evaluation cluster and create new SQL server standard cluster.
Just FYI( not related to this): You just need to run edition upgrade on a single node, you can choose to run from either an active or passive node. After running, you need to cause a failover to happen. Once the failover happens, all of the nodes along with
the database engine will be updated.

Upgrading sap programs from one version to another version

Hi All,
I want to know how to upgrade sap programs from one version to another version,Please help me...
Regards,
Raj.

The seriousness and the complexity of the upgrade is primarily dependent on the version of the older SAP system. The Upgrade from 4.6 -> 4.7 is relatively easier and faster than that of an upgrade from 3.0 -> 4.7.
Most of the function modules in the older system have been reworked and would be marked as obsolete in the target version. (This could be seen in EPC Error Analysis & warnings).For example Function modules like Upload, Download, WS_Download, WS_Upload,WS_File_Delete, WS_Filename_get, Popup_to_confirm_step etc. These obsolete Fm's can be easily replaced with Fm's like Gui_Upload,Gui_Download, etc. There are few other complex Fms for which you have to do through R&D to find out the replacements.
Apart from replacing obsolete Fms one has to correct those syntax errors that may occur in the target version. There is a lot of variations in Syntax standards across versions.
Further more many transactions would have been reworked. Some Fields would be missing in the old system or a field would have been made a Key-Field in the new version , some screens would be missing or would have been addded. Also some Tables would have been flagged as obsolete and we need to find replacement for those obsolete Database tables.
It would be wise to do a R&D for all the programs in the system before Upgradation. This would really give us an idea about the complexity of the task and we can plan our Upgrade work effectively.

cartik

Question….can you use upgrade assistant in clustered environment?
Thanks!

You can only use the upgrade assistant to upgrade to a single instance Oracle BI 11g server. Typically this is a sandbox server environment or a VM that can simply be wiped clean after the upgrade. Then move the RPD,WebCat, etc. and AppRoles that get created during the upgrade process to a development server. The UA is looking for a single instance installation environment and that environment should be clean/fresh to avoid confusion and conflicts.

How to Upgrade from SAP NetWeaver 7.01 to NW 7.02?
Use EHPI tools or just spam/saint or any other way ?
current version:

HI,
Net wevaer 7.2 CE is totally different from Net weaver 7.01.
No relation i feel.kindly check the links.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/44/d958673ef05f4de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/content/documentation/netweaver/index.htm
OR
You do not need Netweaver 7.2 CE for using NWBC 3.0. You just need netweaver 7.02.
You simply need to apply enhancement package 2 on your existing 7.01 system to make it 7.02.
Please refer to installation guides on service marketplace, there you can see the EHP2 installation guides.
Also, see SAP Note 900000 - Netweaver Business Client - FAQ. This will give you all the details required.

Common reason for Mirage Server Failure in Clustered Environment and how clients will be switched to other server in a cluster

Hi,
Can Anybody share me the information regarding Common reason for Mirage Server Failure in Clustered Environment.
And how clients will be switched to other server in a cluster to continue their operations from the failed server.
Regards,
Bathesha C

Hello,
if you have more than one mirage server configured with Load balancing (LB or MSFTNLB) the client would disconnect from the faulting server and then reconnect to an other server to progress with the action as before.
All Mirage server are stateless and share the same SIS (single instance store) so any server can update or create CVD file set for an client.
Hope that helps.

Anyone know how Delta Links are stored in a Clustered environment?

We have a situation where we have a clustered EP6 production environment with 4 servers in the load balancer.
However, we've found that on just one of the servers the Delta Link between one of our roles and its only workset is missing.
Wanted to know if anyone could explain how these delta links are stored and/or what happens during transport import in a clustered environment (e.g. are components deployed only to the central database or deployed to each server in the cluster)?
Thanks for any help/advice on this you can provide.

Hi Steve,
The delta links are stored in the PCD which is common for all nodes in the cluster (there is only one database).
When importing portal content to a cluster it is stored in two locations: one in on the central instance and the other one is locally on the specific node to which it was imported.
All other nodes are informed that there is a new content but will only upload it locally on demand (only when a user is calling this content).
Please award points if you find this answer helpful.

Amit.
