Installation advice for xMII V12.0

Hi all,
xMII is my first foray into the SAP experience.  We are planning a POC using xMII to build a simple MES system with communication to existing SAP ECC/ERP, various PLCs and Proficy iHistorian and printing to Zebra label printers.  We have a sandbox xMII V11.5 installed and working with ECC via RFCs/JCO.
It makes sense to use xMII V12 for the POC as we will not be going live for a year and the work we are doing now is discovery work.  We are planning a new installation as the requirement for NetWeaver changes requirements quite dramatically.
I have been looking through the mountain of documents on Wikis, document sites, and Blogs and have found Master guides, Installation Guides, Upgrade Guides, Release Notes, Config Guides, SAP Notes...  Then there is JCO, SAP JRA, UDSs of various types, Netweaver (UME, WebAS, CCMS, ...), JRE, database, Windows...  I am attempting to make a list of what needs to be installed and in what order for the POC. I have not found a definitive source of information on the installation of an xMII server.  -Does one exist?-
Here is my current list of what to install on the xMII server, in the order they must be installed.  I could use some feedback!
The server:  Dell Optiplex GX620  -  1G RAM - 2.8Ghz - 40Gb HD -Is this adequate?  More RAM? More Disk?-
Windows Server 2003
MS SQL Server 2005
Sun JRE 1.4.2_16  (When will this be upgraded to 1.6, or even 1.5!)
  Is JAVA_HOME required?  Does it matter which JRE is in the Windows PATH environment variable?
SAPCAR 7.0
NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2  Usage Selection - Application Server Java  - and configure JRA
xMII V12.0 SR3 - and configure users
XMII 12.0 Migration Tool SP02  XMIIMIGRATION02_0-10004466.SCA

What did I miss?  Is everything in the correct order?
Thanks all,

P.S.  I have been impressed by the quality of the posts on this forum.  I look forward to joining the community!

Amy,
This is probably not what you want to hear but the guide will most likely not be updated since the JDBC driver and it's configuration is specific to the vendor and not SAP.  This is the reason for all of the various configuration fields you see in the xMII Data Server configuration screen.  It allows the xMII system to support a connection via any JDBC driver.  The MS site where you downloaded the 2005 driver from has the Server URL defined there and there are plenty of supplementary sites on configuring the URL properly for your system.  If you still think it should be added then please create a CSN/CSS message requesting the change.
To cover some previous comments on the NW installation, plan for approx 2-4 days in installing and configuring Solution Manager; if you don't already have it in your corporate landscape.  The actual installation took me 20hrs on a 2GB RAM Dual-DualCore 2 GHz CPU machine and took approx 45 GBs of space (This is now required by SAP and last I checked was free).  You'll need this because it will help you maintain/manage your various systems corporate wide.  Also it is needed to generate "Solution Manager Keys" which are required for NW installations and to download NW support package updates from Service Marketplace.
Once that's done it's about 3 hours for each successive NW AS Java installation and about 5 minutes for the xMII v12 deployment and finished off at around 5GBs of space. 
This is all in the guide I am putting together along with a "High-Availability" section which is adding some extra time to it's release but I can guarantee it's worth the wait!
It's nice to see that you've done your homework on this, hope this helps to explain and clarify...

  • Day 2 installation advice for Mega 180 delux

    Now that i got past the DMI Pool Problem, and have XP installed.  I have 2 problems with the system.
    1:  i can't get connected to my lan via ethernet.  lights are on at both ends of the cable and nobody appears to be home.  have run the wizzard a number of times.   lan connection is not bridged
    1a:  after fighting the ethernet connection  for a few hours, moved the pc to my office, checked ethernet with a different cable etc, no luck.  since it was  now sitting next to my wireless hub i figured what the heck maybe this will work.
    after down loading and installing Ralink driver update (thanks forum) and changing my netgear hub to channel 3 (thanks forum) i am connected via wireless.  eventually computer is destined about as far from my home office as i can place it (kids) so need to get ethernet working.  sound familiar, any suggestions?
    2:  In control panel the audio device is showing yellow question marks, doesn't look like drivers have installed, do i need to install the MSI Media Center to get sound out?  looks like Media center has been the source of lots of grief.
    3:  Now that i am online, should i upgrade the bios, system came with 3.3.  reading the postings i am not sure i want to introduce any more variables into the equation, but if it will help with 1 or 2...
    4:  From reading the forums it looks like xp sp2 is working well for most people, comments?  i am running sp2 on 2 other machines and it is very stable.  wireless management is also much improved.
    thx again.

    XP Home unpatched, Bios 3.3

    I would reiterate both Stu and Normunds advice.
    1. Only update BIOS if you have to
    2. Get the latest Nforce2 drivers from Nvidia. That should make a number of things work better. Hopefully sound and ethernet. If you're using onboard video also get the latest Nvidia display drivers from Nvidia.
    3. I installed MCE 2005 which is XP SP2 + a front end. It is very stable. I have very few OS related problems. But I would turn off automatic update for XP. They are constantly  wanting to update stuff that I don't even use.
    4.  For your ethernet problem are you getting an address assigned from DHCP ?  Have you tried the repair connection thing from MS or wntipcfg.exe  release/renew ? Does the machine address show up as connected from the router ?
    If none of this stuff is working I would suggest checking for a router software upgrade. This happened to me about 6 months ago. XP was using some newer protocols that was confusing my router... and nothing worked.

  • Load Balancing for scheduled job in XMII V12

    Hi XMII experts,
    We are going to schedule a lots of jobs in XMII V12.
    On our production server we have several JAVA Application servers.
    Do you know if there is some kind of load balancing between java instance when we schedule jobs in XMII V12 ?
    Regards
    Jean-Louis

    Hi,
    If there is so many Applications in one Production server, then it will be overloaded. Suppose Java Applications and xMII Application are consuming lots of memory space and you are going to schedule lots of jobs in xMII, then it will be overloaded.
    First you need to check how much memory your Java Applications and xMII Aplication is consuming. If it exceeds the RAM then system will be hanged.
    Thanks,

  • XMII v12 Sample Project in SDN Downloads

    I downloaded and installed the xMII v12 Sample Project from SDN.   Hoping to use it to gain a better understanding of the workbench.
    I followed the instructions provided and was able to successfully import the project, and setup the required datasources.  However I began getting errors such as 'Template not found'.  After some digging I was able to figure out the problem.
    The project installs as 'Sample', with all files deployed under the 'Sample' root.  Unfortunately when the root is referenced within the htm, irpt etc... files it is spelled out as 'Samples' causing the template not found errors.
    Here's some html from OrdersSPC.htm, notice VALUE="Samples/SPC/Ord..."
    <APPLET NAME="SPCChart" CODEBASE="/XMII/Classes" CODE="iSPCChart" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" WIDTH="760" HEIGHT="460" MAYSCRIPT>
    <PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="Samples/SPC/OrdersSPCQuery">
    <PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="Samples/SPC/OrdersSPCChart">
    </APPLET>
    Although changing all the 'Samples' to 'Sample' did give me some time to better understand the workbench, it just made me wish for a global find and replace function. 
    Is there something I'm missing?  Would there have been a better way to fix this?
    So the intent of my post is to bring this to someones attention so it can be fixed, and provide a resolution to anyone having the same difficulty.

    You should be able to use a "super-user" account to login into SMP.
    Once you're there just look for the software download link which should be somewhere near the top of the page under the SAP Support Portal heading.
    Follow the navigation tree on the left until you get the option to Search for Installations and Upgrades. Just enter SAP xMII into the search field and you should get the link for the download.
    As for who to contact for info on downloading, i doubt anyone can answer that for you here. This is a public forums and personal contact details are not a common practice to be posted. You should have a contact, a sales person, etc. from SAP that could help you with this.
    Hope this helps!

  • Installing PHP on OS 10.3.9 - any advice for unix novice??

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes...
    I am trying to get PHP set up on my mac, but I have gotten a bit stuck. I think I have sucessfully downloaded and installed MySQL, but I am very confused about the best way to install the necessary version of PHP. Many how to and tutorial sites (and the visual quickstart book i checked out fromt he library) recommend using Mark Liyanage's installer at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/.. However, it seems that he is no longer providing support for Panther. The Visual Quickstart Guide has a graphic with a screen shot of Mark's site from a while ago, and it looks like once upon a time there was a PHP 5.0.0 for apache 1.3 installer designed for Panther, but now the options are different.
    So, feeling confused about all of this, I decided to try to see if I already had PHP installed, and if so what version - I have heard that PHP is preinstalled with apache on some macs. So, I decided to try running the phpinfo.php script in my browser (http://localhost/phpinfo.php), but instead of running the script, the browser just displays the script [
    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>
    ]. I have also read that you can change some code in a file called httpd.conf file, but as I am a total Unix novice and not very familiar with using terminal, I have been very leary of this.
    If anyone has advice or resources, I would be eternally grateful!!
    Many thanks in advance,

    I'm afraid that you will keep running into roadblocks without learning the CLI. Mac OS X Unix Tutorial is a good starting point. Open the Terminal.app and type the following command:
    php -i
    Learn how to use Pico a simple unix text editor, so you can edit configuration files.
    Instead of installing pre-compiled binaries you might consider using fink to compile binaries from source code.

  • Seeking alternative advice for possible HD failure...

    My poor PB is just 4 months old and I'm not sure how, but I think the HD decided to quite (it clicks/whirs/clacks in ways similar to my previous notebook computer shortly before it quit).
    I cannot access anything on the HD itself, but can get to disk utility by way of the installation CD. When I try to run the utility I am not allowed to verify disk permissions or verify disk. When I try to verify, it says failure, could not unmount disk.
    If I try to repair disk permissions or repair disk, the computer starts the process, but just clicks and whirs FOREVER. It never actually does anything...
    the S.M.A.R.T. status shows verified, which should indicate the HD is ok (I assume).
    I need my computer immediately... what would be some advice for taking care of my problem? My current location is TOO FAR from an Apple Store to take it for repairs. Anything I can do on my own to solve this?
    I haven't tried it yet, (a bit afraid to) but I have considered erasing the disk. The file losses would be minimal, but if there is another route for solving this issue, I would rather go that way.
    Thank you for any and all advice you have!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, BeckyJ.
    I think your PowerBook's hard drive is failing and there isn't really much you can do except replace the drive. Normally Apple will replace the drive under warranty - either sent in or at an Apple Authorised Service Provider.
    However as you need the computer immediately and don't wish to go via the warranty replacement route, then the only option available is to source a new drive (at your own expense) and replace the drive yourself. Installation instructions are available here. I do need to warn you that the process is not easy for anyone unfamiliar with working on the insides of a notebook computer and will invalidate the warranty.

  • Tiger installation disc for Intel Proc

    Greetings, does anyone know where I may be able to pick up an installation disc for Tiger that will work on my new intel based mac book pro? I have a family pack of Tiger licenses but it's for the Power PC chipset (all my other macs are the older chips). My new MBP shipped with Leopard and is sluggish at best. I would like to go to a Tiger build on my MBP, but obviously my PPC Tiger won't install. I was going to call Apple tomorrow to inquire about one, but didn't know if anyone else ever ran into this issue and could give me some advice.
    Thanks, Scott

    You're probably stuck with Leopard, especially it if shipped with it. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25784 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25497

  • Any advice for teacher struggling with scratch disk problems?

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone out there has advice for me. I am a Media Teacher with very little technical expertise. We use Premiere Elements 4.0 in my school. This is accessible to students on the school network but is located on a separate drive. I am experienceing a lot of problems at the moment which I suspect may be to do with having multiple users. The students work in groups. Some of them do not seem to be able to access their current coursework - a scratch disk error message comes up and they are asked if they want to locate the scratch disks into their own area of the school network. As personal space is very limited, they always say no, and then cannot access the projects. Other students do not have this problem. The scratch disks are located by default to the same drive as the main work.
    A further problem is that in one project, the clips in the second half of the project seem to be 'offline'. I have seen this before and have been able to fix it by locating the clip in the project menu and using 'locate media' to reconnect it. However, this time round, the clip can be seen and runs perfectly in the project menu. It also looks as normal on the timeline. It is only in the viewing window that it comes up as offline. The locate media option isn't available. If I save as an avi, the offline message appears, so the project burns as it appears in the viewing window. If I drag the clips down from the project area and reconstruct, everything plays normally until I close the project down and open it again, when the clips are back offline. I can tell something strange is going on because the project is loading very quickly - it was taking a couple of minutes previously.
    Any advice at all would be welcome, as we are near the end of the coursework and the projects we can't access represent a term's work for the students!

    You may need to contact Adobe Tech Support for your specific needs.
    Is Premiere Elements installed on your network or on the C drives of each computer? The program must be installed on the C drive in order to work properly. You can't run the program from a network installation, and that could explain why you're having the problems you're having.
    If you've got Premiere Elements installed on your C drive, you should be able to access your video files if they're stored on the network. But this depends on how your network is set up. It may not be possible for all of your students to access material out on your network drive and remain connected to it the same way every time you open your project.
    In other words, you're using the program in ways it's not designed to be used. This is why you may need to contact Tech Suport and see if they can recommend a solution, short of each student having their own complete installation on each computer.

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
