Installing Dialog Instances with ECC 6.0 and SQL Server 2005

Hi, I have my ECC 6.0 SAP Server, it is Central Instance, Database instance, all in one. My users are working fine, however we will be adding some new users (15) and we want add a Dialog Instance. Can I add one Dialog instance to my landscape without any changes to my SAP Server ??? ..... My dialog instance will be in a new host.
My hardware SAP Server is: 16 GB RAM, 500 GB RAID 5 for my database, four processors.
What could be my Dialogue Instance hardware?
I have read than I must install with sapinst and select Dialogue Instance and follow instructions. Are there any others considerations?? .....
Do I must install SQL Server in the host Dialog instance ??.
Please if you have some suggestions.
Regards.

Hello Jose,
You can install your dialog instance without doing any change to the existing setup as you have mentioned its on a seprate new host.
Two CPU's and 8GB memory would be fine for your dialog instance.It all depends on your requirement.
Yes you need to install the dialog instance using SAPINST, its kool and sapinst would take care of all.
You need not install any SQL server in the dialog instance host only you need to have a SQL client installed but that would be taken care by SAPINST.
Hope this would clarify your query.
Thanks and Regards,
-Bijesh.

Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user
right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated
with this node might be removing the right.
I found following article:
"MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" error when you install WID in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

JPA and SQL Server 2005's Identity Don't Play Nice

I am hoping someone with a little more senior knowledge of JPASQL Server 2005 can point me in the right direction involving SQL Server 2005.
What I am discovering is JPA and SQL Server 2005 do not playing nice together when you use the IDENTITY capability for
a primary key. Let me explain. "...when using the IDENTITY as the generator type, the value for the identity field MAY NOT be
available BEFORE the entity data is saved in the database because typically it is generated when a record is committed."
My problem is this.
I have two separate entities using another entity, for example a car has a wheel and a truck has a wheel. I can go through the steps
of persisting the car and the wheel with no problem. My problem begins when I try to
find the wheel (by wheel description) for the truck. The query finds the wheel, but does not return the primary key for wheel.
Therefore, using the PK inside a query generates this error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An instance of a null PK has been incorrectly provided for this find operation. What has been my appraoch to get the entity to commit to the database is to use the following sequence for the Entity Manager.
entityManager.persist(wheel);
entityManager.flush(); I have assumed to this point this action would persist my data because I have been able to retrieve the PK immidately after these steps.
However, multiple actions taking place within the same transaction, appears to render the persist and flush steps useless. My initial thought
is to wrap the wheel creation within a new transaction so when the method/transaction completes, the data would be in the database. This
has not worked.
I hope I have explained this clear for others to follow. I apologize in advance if I have not. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

B1 and SQL Server 2005 performance with 3.000.000 invoice-lines per year

I would like to know if SAP Business One with SQL Server 2005 could work with the following information:
- 40.000 Business Partners
- 40.000 Invoices per month
- Aprox. 3.000.000 invoice-lines per year
Of course it will be necessary to change some forms in B1.
What do you think?
Do you know any B1 customer working with that amout of data?

> Hi,

> I think a good SQL2005 tuning (done by a good DBA)
> will improve performance. Number of records like that
> shouldn't hurt that kind of DB engine...
Hi,
I'm sure that MSSQL2005 can handle the amount of records & transactions in question. Even MSSQL 2000 can do it. However, any DB engine can be put on its knees with the combination of 2-tier application architecture and badly designed queries. B1 is a case in point. I wouldn't go into such a project without decent preliminary load testing and explicit commitment for support from SAP B1 dev team.
I have heard from implementation projects where B1 simply couldn't handle the amount of data. I've also participated in some presales cases for B1 where we decided not to take a project because we saw that B1 couldn't handle the amount of data (while the other features of B1 would have been more than enough for the customer). The one you're currently looking at seems like one of those.

CR with VS 2003 Oracle vs SQL Server 2005

VS2003
Windows XP
All Crystal Reports designed using "push" model (Seting the Report Document's SetDataSource property using a single table dataset)
I have a large VS2003 application (90+ Crystal Reports) using an Oracle database. The client wants to switch to SQL Server 2005. The application works with SQL Server "as is" except for the Crystal Reports. A query engine error is generated. The tables/views are quite simple using only integers, decimals, char and varchar columns, no datetime columns. The dataset's Name and datatable's Name are the same, the only difference is the data provider used. Microsoft's Oracle Data provider vs Microsoft's SQL Server Data provider. Any thoughts? Any workarounds?.
I am in the process of converting the application to VS2008 and the problem does not exist in the VS2008 version. Crystal Reports converted from VS2003 to VS2008 work with either database/data provider.,
Edit: It appears that Oracle does not differentiate between datatypes decimal and int32. Any thoughts. (Not the problem)

An assumption here is that your .NET 2003 app is using the bundled version of CR(?) - version 9.1. If that is the case, make sure you have updated your install with SP1:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009301312009E/crnet11win_en.zip
Next, see if this blog will help you in troubleshooting the issue:

re:

Not sure how this relates to Crystal Reports as such? But let's work on one issue per thread. If you want to work the data type issue more, please create a new thread. Otherwise, these things get too messy...

OWB 11.0.0.7 and SQL SERver 2005

We did search quite a bit but couldnt get this working...
We are using OWB 11.1.0.7 64bit on Windows 2003 Server 64bit R2
We have to pull data from a SQl Server database – SQL SERVER 2005 64 bit on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
WE followed the procedures given in Oracle documentation –
1. creating a ODBC DSN connection
2. creating a init ora file for that connection
3. creating a listener
We tried with both HSODBC and DG4ODBC... We can connect to SQL server through OWB...the connection is successful but I cannot import the tables into OWB. It simply hangs forever. (in the init ora file we have put the HS_FDS_SUPPORT_STATISTICS=FALSE) We have to pull data from SQL server on an ongoing basis. However we found a workaround – we can create a remote link to the SQL server database by creating an entry in the tnsnames. However this connection is very slow – we have to pull thousands of records on daily basis. IT takes quite some time to do this. We have tried different combinations after Goodling.
Could you shed some light on this? Is it a bug in OWB 11.1 that we cannot connect to SQL Serer or are we missing something? Will it be ok if we go for 11.2?

Be wary about the differences between initialization settings for generic ODBC vs specific SQLServer gateway, they are different.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/b31049/apd.htm#BABHEBCE
The installation guide has details in the SQLServer section for when the SQLServer gateway is used that you should follow (specifically under configuring SQL Server Views for Data Dictionary support - needed for importing tables definitions into OWB when you use SQLServer gateway);
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/gateways.111/b31042/toc.htm
If you have an existing database link this can be used in OWB. When importing the tables you need to be aware that if it is a SQLServer gateway you will need to configure the SQLServer instance as in the gateway doc above). Just because you can query table data does not mean the gateway is configured properly.

Freetds and sql server 2005

Hi guys
I'm trying to create dblink from 10.2.0.4 database to sql server 2005 using freeTDS. Oracle database is on OEL5, ODBC is installed on another OEL5 machine with database gateway installed and listener started.
So far everything woks fine. However it seems that something is wrong with character set conversion. I'm getting twice as much characters (character followed by a box character). I'm guessing this is 2 byte character set that has not been converted to 1 byte. Oracle DB has nls_characterset set to 'EE8ISO8859P2'.
What setting should be set in init<>.ora for the DG4ODBC and freetds.conf?
I also tried trial easysoft odbc driver and it works fine with these parameters in odbc.ini:
# Convert UCS-2 encoded Unicode data to UTF-8
ConvToUtf = Yes
# Also do this conversion for data passed to Unicode ODBC function (SQLxxxW) calls
ConvWToUtf = Yes

I saw a similar behaviour using an Oracle unicode database. In this case try a unicode compliant tool like SQL Developer, connect to the Oracle db with the db link and select from the linked table.
What is the source column data type and did you specify HS_LANGUAGE in the hsodbc init file?

Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
@Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
@Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
AS ...
both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
Thank you.

Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

OraOledb, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

Some issues I've come across when using SQL Server 2005 (and SQL Server Express 2005), the OraOLEDB provider (10.2.0.1) and a linked Oracle database (8.1.7.4.0 64-bit)
1) You must set the OraOledb.Oracle\AllowInProcess value to 1 to allow the OraOledb provider to run in SQL Server's process. Without doing this I receive an 'unspecified error' from the OLE DB provider when attempting to run a query
2) When running a ' select * ' query across a linked server using the provider, I receive the following error: Msg 9803, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid data for type "numeric". I can, however, select all of the columns by name and the query completes (no error). Sometimes the 'select *' query returns a few rows before the error, sometimes it doesn't. The Microsoft Provider for Oracle does not have this problem

Okay... I've got a Win2K3 Std Ed server (x64) running 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. I've installed the Oracle 10g 10.2.1 full client and admin tools, added two named services via the NetConfig assistant, and successfully set up (and tested) a connection via the ODBC Administrator to an Oracle database.
Now... when I try to create a new connection manager in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, the OLEDB provider for Oracle can't be found, and when I try to manually add an underlying OLEDB connection to the database, SQL Server reports:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Does anyone know what I need to do to see my ODBC Server data connections in SQL Server 2005 (64 bit)? I don't have this issue on my 32-bit SQL Server 2005 servers.

OraOledb for 64-bit, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

Our environment is : SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems.
Problem on 64-bit operating system box: (32-bit works fine).
I am trying to access Oracle 10g database using linked server from our SQL Server 2005. In case of number fileds i got the following error:
Invalid data for type "numeric".
After going through one of the posting in this forumn i was able to resolve the problem by converting those column values to char while querying and then converting them back to numeric type on SQL server side.
But today i ran into another problem. There is a VARCHAR2 column. I was able to retrieve the data yesterday for that column but today i am getting a blank recordset. If i exclude the colum from the query then i am getting all the rows.
I am querying against a view and it has got a number of columns whose data type is VARCHAR2.
Again the problem is on 64-bit operating system only. We have a 32-bit operating system on which i am able to retrieve the data including this column. I looked at the data and everything looks OK. No funny characters etc.
I tried workarounds like using cast, to_char, checking for nulls etc., Nothing works.
Any help is greately appreciated. Thanks.

Did you find a resolution for this? We have similar problem. Set up a linked server in SQL 2006 to Oracle (running on Windows 64-bit) Linked server works and views I had set up were working but they added some new data in the Oracle test database I am using and now I get errors on one of the views.
Error I am getting on the view is "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB Provider "OraOLDEDB.ORacle" for the linked server"
If I fine tune my queries to find the specific table or view that is at issue, then I get the error "inconsistent metadata for a column"

My question is:
1) How I have to build this reports: directly to data warehouse or building an OLAP (CUBE) in analysis services 2005?
2) BO XI R2 supports SQL server 2005 and especially in this case Analysis services 2005 and provider (I have seen only provider for SQL Server 2000)?
Do you some good resources where to learn how to make reports on DW SQL server 2005?

Hi,
If you are trying to create a new OLAP Intelligence Report using SQL 05 I am afraid you are out of luck.
You will need to get a copy of the Productivity Pack (Available for Download in Subscribenet) .
Also, in your SQL Server Sufrace Configuraiton manager try setting Analysis Services to Allow Ananomous connections. This will make sure you get a little further initially. (Dont leave Anonymous on)

Page Life Expectancy Alert with value 0, after Updated SQL Server 2005/2008/2012 MP (6.4.0.0)

After updating to the new SQL management pack in my lab I start to see Critical alerts for some of my SQL instances, but not all. When looking at the Alert Context the Value is 0. If I open SQL Management Studio and connect to the Instance and run a query
to get the Page Life Expectancy, I get a high value like 494012, the query I use is:
SELECT [object_name],
[counter_name],
[cntr_value]
FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters
WHERE [object_name] LIKE '%Manager%'
AND [counter_name] = 'Page life expectancy'
Could this be an error in this Management Pack, perhaps I should disable this monitor? I also get the same for the monitor Buffer Cache Hit Ratio, also with a Value of 0 in Alert Context.

Hi Aleksandr,
That is what I do with the SQL query above.
Using perfom gives the exact same result. When doing this on one of my servers I see the value is constantly increasing with 1 for each second, currently displaying a value of 335261.
I think this has to do with improper permissions. I have assigned a dedicated domain user with sysadmin on SQL servers to all the SQL runas profiles. This I did before importing the new SQL Management Pack, and everything was fine. However, after installing
this new Management Pack I started to see these alerts, and that the Alert Context had a value of 0. I also noticed that my Default Action account needed access to the SQL database. I did not verify it when I looked at it but I believe that the Default Action
account did not have any rights to the instances where the alerts came from. So, perhaps some of the probing is not properly configured to use the right RunAs accounts.
Anyways, I will look in to this a bit further when I have some more time... Posting back the results when I have.

Error with ECC 6.0 and Solman Ehp1 on same system

Hi,
I implemented Ecc 6.0 on Windows server 2008 and sql server 2005. Then i installed solman 7.0 ehp1. I had used athe vbscript for solman key which was available online. i Created two seperate SID for them and DBSID but using the same instance of database.
After successfully implementing both of them only one runs fine at the same time. Either ECC or solman will run disp+work.exe of one of them gets stopped.
Can someone help me out with this?
Edited by: Dshah_EnCrisp on Aug 2, 2009 6:28 AM

Hai,
Try to check the Memory requirements, post the dev_disp, dev_w* files for our analysis.
As you said that you have single DB for both the systems, did you follow the installation steps carefully for MCOD systems.
