InfoStore is missing Indexes, database corrupt

Recently, we added two new Crystal users to our AD domain. Following the usual procedure, we went into the Crystal Management Console to add them to Crystal. (We go to Authentication, then the "Windows AD" tab and click the "update" button.)
We were prompted with the Error:
Error updating Windows AD authentication properties: The object already exists in the collection
After opening a case with SAP, we discovered our Information Store (CMS_InfoObjects5) is missing all of the Indexes, including the one that constrains the "ObjectID' to a unique field. After inspecting the database, we determined there are many duplicate "ObjectIDs". It looks like we have duplicate users (Administrator, Guest and some others) and some other duplicate objects (I think these may be reports, it is impossible to tell since the columns contain binary data). (This explains the error message above!)
We have about 200 reports configured in this Information Store/DB with various permissions assigned to each report. It would be a huge undertaking to rebuild the DB manually.
Can anyone recommend a way to recover from this? I have tried the following scenario:
Created a new/empty Information Store and copied all the records from the corrupt database to this new store. For the records that were duplicated I copied over all the "older" (based on the modifieddate field) duplicates and left out the "newer" ones. We then pointed our CMS to this databse and after going into Authentication then "Windows AD" tab, we were still unable to do an "Update". (It wasn't the same error, it was a new one but I forgot what the exact error was).
Next, I did the exact same thing, but this time I copied all of the "newer" records from the existing/corrupt database to this new/empty database. This time, I can't even login. I get an error message about not being able to load the authentication plug in. I get this message if I try to log using "Windows AD" or "Enterprise".
I am not sure what to do next. I decided to try using the SDK to pull out a list of all of the reports and permissions from our current DB and from our backup DB (from a few months ago, before all of the indexes disappeared). I decided we could go back to that version of the database (the backup) if I had a list of all the new reports and permissions. (We could update those manually to get the backup DB in sync with our current data). Although, I am unable to get the SDK or any of the sample code to work. I ran into various problems such as: The sample code seems to be written for Visual Studio 2003 and .Net 2.0 and I can't get it to compile. So, I inspected the code and pulled out some of the SQL commands and tried running the queries directly, but realized the table names are different. The sample code expects a table name of "CI_INFOOBJECTS", but that table doesn't exist in our database. We do have "CMS_InfoObjects5", but it has a different schema from the "CI_INFOOBJECTS". This is so frustrating!!!
Even though the existing DB/InfoStore is corrupt (well, not really corrupt, but it is missing all of the indexes and therefore the proper constraints and therefore we can't add new users), the server still "works". All permissions/reports/users are in tact, we just can't add any new users. (We can add reports and assign permissions properly though.)
I suppose I need to open our case back up with SAP, but first I wanted to get some opinions from folks here on the forum.
Any ideas? How would you approach this problem?

No, I haven;t but I did consider it.
I wonder if it will stop when it comes across the duplicate entries, or if it will just skip them? Anyone?

Missing Indexes in Database

Hi,
In tcode DB02, when seeing database statistics, i found that there were some missing indexes in database. ie., for some tables there are no indexes created.
Please tell me whether we need to create indexes or not. Is there any serious effect of a table not having any index?
Please suggest me a good solution for this.
Thanks,
Sailesh K

Not necessarily. You must decide if an index will assist in making a table scan faster. FULL table scans indicate that an index is not available. Creating an index in this case, will improve preformance and prevent full table scans from occuring.
Also, check oracle to see if the index exists. Somestimes the Data Dictionary is unaware of the index due to how it ws created.
In summary missing indexes are not a problem. FULL table scans are problems and require new indexes to be created for performance reasons.
Hope this helps.

Missing indexes after system copy

Hi All
we have around 70,000 missing indexes after the system copy
offline export from
source with sun solaris oracle
To
Linux oracle
but these appeared after we Run SGEN , which took 60 hours for a 200 Gb database.
and target system response is also slow , how to go ahead with this issue
we have checked export and import logs , none of the packages were missed
1 Why these missing indexes after SGEN , and why SGEN for 60 hours
2 when we check the Tables which appeared in Missing indexes ,from SE14 it says In Consistency with Data dictionary
3 and the other error , is Index Missing in the database ,
4 but we cant create all these manually.
Regards

Hi Matt
Thanks for the response
After sap suggestion , we have done only import again, with 721 R3load same as export.
but still the R3load.exe.log of import shows as done with 720 kernel.
import R3load.exe log //bas/720_REL/src/R3ld/R3load/R3ldmain.c#
export R3load.exe log //bas/721_REL/src/R3ld/R3load/R3ldmain.c#10 $ SAP
But when we compare the sapinst_dev and AGR logs both from export and import
both are referring the same 721 R3load version ,
//bas/721_REL/src/R3ld/R3load/R3ldmain.c
still we have same missing indexes issue , after we did the import again.
Are we making any mistakes in export , Any suggestions are welcome
hi all , kindly respond with your inputs , on this

Missing index problem

Hi Gurus!
I have a critical problem to solve.
I have a table without data which is inconsistent because it doesn't have the primary index. When i see missing indexes at DB02, the system tells me that the index is created, but when i go to SE14 and select the primary index, it says the index does not exists on the database and the only option that is active is the one to create the index. If I try to create the index, i get an error saying: there is already a an object named 'zmed_distr~0' ( my index name ).
Can anybody help me?
Thank you in advance.

the tsystem does'nt create the index and give me this log:

In - DB13 - warnings for missing indexes

Hi
I've noticed in the results of the DBCHECK job in DB13 that we have a number of warnings for missing indexes.
BR0970W Database administration alert - level: ERROR, type: MISSING_INDEX, object: (table) SAPR3./BI0/PCOSTELMNT
The strange thing is that no missing indexes are picked up be DB02. In SE11 these tables cannot be found. Checked at Oracle level and the tables exist but the indexes do not.
Does anyone know if these tables should have indexes?
If so what would be the best way to create these?
Thanks & Regards
Shishir

In DB02 they are probably showing under 'Optional Indexes' under 'not created'

Check Missing Indexes

Hi All,
We have a Database with many tables using foreign keys. Some of my queries from coldfusion are slow. We are using 11g version.
It's a way to check for missing indexes?
I would like to help the database to perform better, I know this is a huge topic but as new in oracle I need to start somewhere.
Any links or comments will be appreciate it.
Regards
Johnny

i have created a two step process for finding which Foreign key is not indexed
1. create a table having the ddl of all indexes
CREATE TABLE INDEX_TXT_TBD AS
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('INDEX',INDEX_NAME) TXT FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE INDEX_TYPE='NORMAL' AND INSTR(INDEX_NAME,'$') = 0
2. create a table which will tell the tablename, columnname (FK) who are not indexed
CREATE TABLE INDEX_TBD AS
select distinct
     user_cons_columns.TABLE_NAME,
     user_cons_columns.COLUMN_NAME
from
     user_cons_columns,
     user_constraints,
     INDEX_TXT_TBD,
where
     user_constraints.CONSTRAINT_NAME=user_cons_columns.CONSTRAINT_NAME
     and CONSTRAINT_TYPE='R'
     AND INSTR(TXT,'"' || user_cons_columns.TABLE_NAME || '" ("' || user_cons_columns.COLUMN_NAME || '")') = 0

Creating Missing Indexes

I find a missing Index when I do Database check
This is the error message:
"BR970W Database administration alert - level: ERROR, type: MISSING_INDEXES, object: (table) SAPR3.ZGMM0015"
I executed Trx. DB02 - Missing Indexes - there I find
--> Index missing under database
    --> primary index - 1
      --> Z..... --> I selected this and clicked on "Create in DB".
   Then it pops up a dialog box asking options like Online, Background .... (can I create this Index online)
   from here what I needs to do.
Gurus can some one guide me.
Thanks in advance

Looks like index is missing for the table.. When you get options like online, background, you may use online. It does not hamper the system.

Missing indexes in db02

Hello,
Checking DB02 i've found a list of missing primary indexes. I know that i can use SE14 to adjust the indexes but i found some decumentation that says that i should first check if double index for the primary index exist and elimenate them.
Please Advice.
David.

hi David,
oss note 157918
BW: DB02 shows "missing indexes"
Symptom
DB02 shows indexes of a fact table to be missing. Such indexes have names that start with prefixes /BI0/F or /BIC/F (BW 1.2, BW 2.x) or /BI0/E or /BIC/E (BW 2.x only).
Additional key words
Business Information Warehouse, InfoCube, Fact Table, Bitmap Indexes, Oracle, DB02, Unique Index
Cause and prerequisites
For BW 1.2, this only applies to Oracle-based systems. For BW 2.x, this might apply to any DB-platform.
BW 1.2 and BW 2.x take advantage of certain DB-specific features which are not supported by the data dictionary of R/3 4.0, 4.5 or 4.6 base systems. Prominent examples are bitmap indexes on fact tables (Oracle-based BW systems), partitioned/fragmented indexes, nologging and parallel index building facilities etc. Such features are used in BW by triggering native SQL statements which bypass the data dictionary.
While all these features improve performance of the BW system, there are, however, some other transactions that are also affected when the data dictionary is bypassed. Amongst these is DB02. It sometimes claims that certain indexes of infocube fact tables are missing while direct checks on the database level show that those indexes are not missing at all or substituted by equivalent indexes. The latter might happen in BW 2.x where the primary index on fact tables might be replaced by a non-unique index or simply skipped as it is not required. Therefore you can usually ignore those messages. Obviously, we are currently working on removing such inconsistent information. If you want to be sure on the indexing then check the solution section of this note.
Solution
For BW 1.2A systems (Oracle only):
You have to ask your local DBA to check the state of the indexes directly by looking at the USER_INDEXES table on the Oracle database.
For BW 1.2B systems (Oracle only):
There are two alternatives to check the secondary indexes of infocube and aggregate cubes fact tables:
           (1) Go to the Admin Workbench. Go to the infocube. Click the right mouse button and choose "InfoCube Performance". This leads you to a screen that shows the state of those indexes via traffic light semantics. There are also buttons to repair inconsitent states of the indexes.
           (2) Use transaction RSRV. Go to the tabstrip "Database". Choose the item "Indices of an InfoCube and its aggregates" and insert the (technical) infocube name (e.g. 0BWTC_C01) in the input box at the bottom of the screen. Press F8 ("Analysis") and wait until a red, yellow or green light appears beside "Indices of an InfoCube and its aggregates", i.e. in the "Result" column. Then press F6 ("Results") in order to see a detailed report on the index situation of that cube.
           (3) Go to SE37 and do a "single test" for the function module RSDU_CHECK_SECONDARY_INDEXES. Use the infocube's technical name (e.g. 0BWTC_C01) as the input parameter and 'X' for both, the I_COMPLETE_CHECK and I_WITH_AGGREGATES, parameters. Press F8 to run the module. Only the C_T_INDEX output parameter is relevant. It shows a list of indexes. Check the TYPE and STATUS columns. These should show 'BITMAP' and 'VALID' respectively.
For BW 2.0A systems (all DB-platforms):
For checking secondary indexes on individual infocubes the following methods can be applied, similar to the BW 1.2B solution:
           (1) Go to the Admin Workbench. Go to the infocube. Click the right mouse button and choose "Manage". Choose the tabstrip "Performance". This leads you to a screen that shows the state of those indexes via traffic light semantics. There are also buttons to repair inconsitent states of the (secondary) indexes.
           (2) same as (2) for BW 1.2B.
           (3) Go to SE37 and do a "single test" for the function module RSDU_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_CHECK. Use the infocube's technical name (e.g. 0BWTC_C01) as the input parameter, leave the I_FACTTAB initial, use 'X' for both, the I_COMPLETE_CHECK and I_WITH_AGGREGATES, parameters and use 'U' in the I_DOUBLE_FACTTAB parameter. Press F8 to run the module. Only the C_T_INDEX output parameter is relevant. It shows a list of indexes. Check the TYPE_CHECK, UNIQUE_CHECK, PARTITIONED_CHECK and STATUS_CHECK columns. These should show 'G' (= "green" = ok) respectively.
If your BW 2.0A system is on patch level 11 Make DB02 consistent by running the report SAP_UPDATE_DBDIFF (via SE38), go to DB02 and press the "Refresh" button in order to synchronise the information in DB02 with the DBDIFF table. This should provide you with a consistent view.
For BW 2.0B and BW 2.1C systems (all DB-platforms):
DB02 should work consistently in BW 2.0B / BW 2.1C with infocubes created in 2.0B / BW 2.1C. If you wish, you can still use the BW 2.0A approach. For infocubes that were created in BW 2.0A or BW 1.2 you need to adjust the index setup (on the facttables) by running the report SAP_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR. The latter is available from BW 2.0B patch 3 onwards. It should be run in a background process as it might take a while to run through.
You also might want to run the report SAP_UPDATE_DBDIFF once in order to update the table DBDIFF that lists database objects whose data dictionary setting do not correspond to the actual setup and that should therefore be omitted in DB02 checks.

Missing Index in DB02

Hi,
When I go to DB02->Diagnostics->Missing Tables and Indexes in our ECC6 system.
I see some missing primary and secondry indexes there.I also see option " Create on Db" there.
Please suggest should I create such indexes by option "Create in Db" and also suggest how SAP find out such missing indexes in Database,,, Does CheckkDB or Update stats provide this information to SAP.
Please confirm.

Yes you can create them on DB.
SAP doesnt find out that information until and unless then login into ur system through saprouter.

Simulating Database Corruption

Any one have any reliable methods of simulating database corruption? (I know, use SQL Server.) I want to test various methods of monitoring for both physical and logical corruption.
I have used tried using dd but I can't see a way to just corrupt a specific block without truncating the file so I end up overwriting most of the data file which has its uses, but isn't a good test.
Logical corruption is more tricky. Any one know any good tricks that would let end up with a mismatch between index and table rows etc.
Thanks in advance.

There are so many websites/blogs that share similar informations.
Then you don't need mine and you (i.e., one) needn't keep linking to them.
I don't know why its only you who has problems.
I suspect you don't have much of an idea of what is going on in regards to my material and its accessibility. We'll leave it there, then, with me pausing just long enough to point out that it is not my problem if I choose to remove all access to my material. The problem is rather with those who think linking to it is a particularly useful or sensible thing to do.

Regularly for an infocube ZPRG_C02 where indexes are corrupting !

Hi All,
We are facing this problem Regular for infocube ZPRG_C02 where indexes are corrupting, these can be manually resolved on running SAP_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR report but Which isn't ideal and preferred , This cube is updated daily, and the process includes steps to delete and recreate indexes.
ORACLE: The status of index /BIC/FZPRG_C02~010 is INVALID
Is their any process , where we can avoid , corrupting these indexes
How to go about this, any suggestion
Whether BW Intervention is required in this ? or Is it a BW issue ?

Update statistics / missing index

The performance has been downgraded after the DB migration... The Query seems running slower than it used to be,
How can I update statistics / find missing index to fix it in Oracle?

hi....
after the importing of the db please run the compilation script below
SET HEAD OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0
SPOOL COM.SQL
SELECT 'ALTER '|| OBJECT_TYPE||' '|| OBJECT_NAME ||' COMPILE ; ' FROM
USER_OBJECTS
WHERE STATUS = 'INVALID'
AND OBJECT_TYPE != 'PACKAGE BODY'
ORDER BY OBJECT_TYPE
SELECT 'ALTER PACKAGE '|| OBJECT_NAME ||' COMPILE BODY ; ' FROM USER_OBJECTS
WHERE STATUS = 'INVALID'
AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE BODY'
ORDER BY OBJECT_TYPE
spool off
@com.sql
SET HEAD ON
SET FEEDBACK ON
SET PAGESIZE 100
this will compile database objects such as packages, functions and rebuilds indexes

DBACOCKPIT and Missing Index

Hi,
is there any way to create a missing index from DBACOCKPIT as old DB02 on Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, ecc.? I'm not able to find it
Thank you.

Hi.
The rebuild of an index is done by the DDIC transactions on all the other platforms, too. There is a link in the DBA Cockpit to this feature but this is only working for the local system (or maybe if an RFC-connection is provided which is not used in most remote monitoring cases). The remote monitoring using just a database connection which is the default for all database platforms since approx 10 years, is not able to recreate an index on a remote system. The code for the missing tables and index check in the DBA Cockpit is DB independent to a very large extent. You can check if creating an index in the DBA Cockpit works on the local system for ASE, too. I don't have a system to check at hand (vacation). On ASE we have the goal to offer all features in the Cockpit for both remote and local databases with the same feature set without using RFC as the remote system might not be running ASE. And the DDIC check is so far the only screen that does not work this way. Unfortunately this cannot be changed without a huge redesign of the DDIC.
