Installing/Implementing SAP on existing database?

Hello,
I have been approached by a Consulting firm asking me this question:
This organization already has a SQL server database and now they want to implement SAP system.
Now, can they use their existing SQL Server database and we just install SAP System and that will automatically get linked to their existing SQL server OR they need to install a new set of SQL server along with their new SAP?
What will happen to their old SQL server data where they are currently storing their data? How will that get migrated to the new SAP/SQL Server?
Do they have to get a new SQL server license from SAP?
Thanks a lot.
WR

Hi,
Yes you can install SAP into the same server IF the SQL version is enough. That is called MCOD, I have done that in Oracle and MAXDB.
In the other side, migrating data from a legacy system is another story, and most times it is better to do the SAP Implementation and begin with initial values (accounting, etc) but it deppends on the complexity of the processes of the company.
They could also keep their data for consulting porpouses and do some ABAP developments to read data from that old database.
Good luck

Need help Installing OID Repository on existing database server using RepCA

I have an oracle database server running 10g (10.2.0.4) and I want to install metadata repository on it. I downloaded the Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant 10.1.2.0.1 (standard edition).
I find that there are no batch files in the download, just setup.exe. When I run that I am asked for an ORA_HOME - when I provide the home where the database is installed I get the message that the home already has the database and the software cannot be installed on it.
How do I add the repository to an existing instance of oracle database server? Also, is the version I downloaded the right version #
Thanks

Hi sameer khan,
first let me ask, are you talking about Netweaver04s (WAS 7.00), in this case my answer can give you some hints.
Note 883948 gives information of the installation of an additional usage tye (like BI JAVA)
You have more than one possibility to install the usage type BI JAVA. The most common installation types are:
1. BI installation and a separate BI JAVA installation with 2 <SID>
2. BI JAVA Addin Installation in an existing NW04s
I recommend to use option 1:
In case you install a separate BI-JAVA instance, you need a separate <SID> for your J2EE environment. In this case it is not possible to use the same <SID>. This installation can be done on the same or a separate server. Furthermore, you can use a separate database or install the J2EE instance in the same database (--> MCOD). I recommend to use a separate database. Note: In this installation option, Sapinst normally installs a separate user store. With the usage type BI JAVA it makes (in most cases) sense, to use the user store of the BI system, where it belongs to. If you want to do so, "Revise" the user store option before you start the installation and and choose the production client of the BI system.
If you like to use an Addin Installation, another <SID> is not possible. I would only recommend this kind of installation in test environments.
It doesn't matter, which kind you choose, after installation, you have to do the steps for "Setting up bex Web", see Note 917950. This is sometimes a little bit tricky, with Note 937697 there is a Support Tool, which can help.
Good luck with your installation
Kind Regards

How to install odm in the existing database

I need to reinstall my odm schema in 10.1.0.3, how can I do it? I dropped user dmsys, but I do not known, which scripts im $OH/dm/admin directory should be started to install new repository? I reviewed some of this scripts and I have seen, that:
1. catdm.sql is running as ODM, catodm.sql and catodm1.sql as DMSYS. Which is the right owner of the repository?
2. some of the scripts should be started as user sys and make 'alter session set current schema = "DMSYS". But if the user dmsys does not exist, the script continues to create all dm objects in the sys schema - strange! You should catch this error.
Thanks
Robert

Since ODM 10.1.0.3 is part of RDBMS 10.1.0.3 patchset release, the supported way to apply ODM 10.1.0.3 is to reinstall ODM 10.1.0.2 via ~dm/admin/dminst.sql, then run ~dm/admin/odmpatch.sql to apply ODM 10.1.0.3.

Cannot install in existing database

Hi all-
I'm trying to install GC in an existing database. When I run the installer (10.2.0.3), the top three options (install in new DB, install in existing DB, add management service) are all disabled; the only one I can choose is "add additional agent." Docs don't seem to discuss this, though I have configured the database per the pre-reqs listed in the docs). What am I overlooking?
Thanks!
Rob

Aj is correct.
See ReadMe notest below:

Installing Peoplesoft Database schema into an *existing* database ?

Are there explicit restrictions against installing a Peoplesoft schema (SYSADM) into an existing database where other application schemas are already present ?
If it is permissible, are there real-world experiences with such an implementation ?
What are the pros and cons ?
So far my experience has been 1 Peoplesoft Schema in a "Peoplesoft-Only" database.
Hemant K Chitale

Hi Hemant,
Having more than one Peoplesoft application in one database is really painful.
First, on security and setting level, have multiple symbolic id (SYSADM1, SYSADM2...) implies different symbolicid for all the users.
Then, you may have some troubles to tune the database if appl and usage are differents between each other. Without saying about tables/tablespaces...
It is so much easier, scalable and reliable to have one-to-one relationship between appl and database that I do not see anything good to get all-in-one.
I worked on such config few years ago (FSCM and HRMS in one database), after few months of production, the maintenance was really became a nightmare, a project has been made to cut it in pieces.
It has been strongly recommanded by Peoplesoft to avoid multiple appl in one database for years.
Now I'm re-reading your post, you may ask about an other appl (other than PS) within a PS appl into one db... never done such thing, but again, each appl have their own usage and specificities. It could be even worse since each appl ignore the other one, I would tend to avoid that.
Nicolas.

Based on the error below:

It looks like the installer can't connect to your existing database.
Can you ensure that your listener is servicing the already existing database.

Make sure the database you want to use as your repository is there.

Installing Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Using an Existing Database

I want to install Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control 10.2.0.3 using an existing database. This database is RAC 10.2.0.2. and I use it as Infrastructure Metadata Repository.
I is said in Oracle documentation that SYSMAN schema has to be dropped, thus Database console repository has to be dropped. As far as I understand after Grid Control installation I will not be able to use Database console for my RAC 10.2.0.2 Infrastructure Metadata Repository database. I will be able to use only Grid Control for this database.

To implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I have SAP ECC 6.0 system already implemented 2 years back.
I am planning to implement SAP HCM with OM, PA, SAP Time management, SAP PAYROLL in existing SAP ECC 6.0 system.
I have currently 3 system landscape for SAP ECC.
I would like to know what change/addition is required in above landscape to implement SAP HCM module in existing SAP ECC 6.0
Do share your view.
Regards.

Hi.
As per you, Already designed Landscape. Why dont you follow you existing Landscape which is alredy proved for other modules.
Normally Dev/Quality/Production clients will there..
If more that depends upon flexibility in Each client and defining different business for testing and production interfaces purpose.
Better use Existing only remaining modules already sucessfully running in Production Right????

Problems Installing Oracle Metadata Repository into Existing Database

Folks,
I'm slowly going through the process of installing the Metadata Repository into a 10g database, using RepCA I've managed to determine all the DB parameters required for setting etc. The only thing RepCA now reports is missing is the Ultrasearch schema & packages.
I've copied the ultrasearch dirs from the RepCA distribution and placed them in my $ORACLE home dir, I've also attempted to run the admin install script 'wk0setup.sql' which throws out several errors listed below. If anyone has successfully gone through this process on Solaris I would love to hear your about your experience & advice.
Error 1. =================================================
User is WKSYS
... loading ultrasearch_db.jar
call sys.dbms_java.loadjava('-v -f -r -s -g PUBLIC $ORACLE_HOME/ultrasearch/lib/ultrasearch_db.jar', '((* wksys) (* public))')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
oracle.aurora.server.tools.loadjava.ToolsError: Error during loadjava: Failures

Error 2 (File Doesn't exist at all) ==============================

===========================================================

Hi guys,
I have used copy of that package from Oracle Identity Management installation, version 10.1.4.0.1 and have been able to complete manual Ultra Search installation. It's valid in dba_registry. After that I did run RepCA and metadata schemas have been created successfully in existing database, version 10.2.0.2. Be careful about database version, only 10.2.0.2 is certified with Oracle Identity management, so you need to run patch for upgrade to 10.2.0.2.
Hope this helps.

Software migration to SAP but want to keep the existing database

Dear experts,
My company is planning to replace existing business applications (ASP or ASP .NET applications & Oracle database) with SAP software. Some applications are even still under development. To avoid complete code rewriting, is it possible to keep the existing database & only use ABAP for application logic & user interface instead?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Haris

Hi,
SAP database table structure and ASP .NET database table structure are totally different. Hence simply keeping the base oracle database same and changing the covering programming layer from ASP to ABAP won;t help.
You will need to redevelop everything in ABAP from scratch.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

Install: using existing database vs creating new database

Which one do you recommend?

Hans has done a good job pointing out the pros and
cons but I reject some of his reasons for using the
default database:I also reject some of the reasons I state - but I state them as they need to be presented before they can be rejected. <g>
My point is simple - you gather all the reasons first and then accept or reject based on your specific environment. What works for me may not work for you.
>
- potentially tuned to EM needs;
==> Read the install notes for oracle recommended settings...not hardHow many people read any install manual? Especially these days ...
People will probably skim the internet to determine that it's possible to install on a separate database, and will often target a database that has sufficient space.
I doubt if 1 in 10 would even consider that the OMR will put a load on the CPU or would think to change the DBs settings based on a compination of "what si best for the applications in the DB" and "what is best for the OMR"
>
- on the same machine as OMS;
==> an existing database can also be on the same
machineIf the OMS load pushes the machine to require another CPU and that forces the purchase another CPU license, then I would consider getting the OMS the h*^l off the machine on to a separate server.
AFAIK, you pay for the DB license, but there is no per-cpu charge for the OMS. So, like any client, you can install the OMS anywhere you want. I'd appreciate any documentation to the contrary.
>
- specific DB version selected (that is known to work
woth OMR);
==> you should check metalink for the latest versions
and what is supported ANYWAY...Again - you assume person reads. <g>

I read a lot of threads, and every time I do the reinstallation, I clean the system (XP Prof SP2) from the already installed files, incl regclean, SAP directory from install shield and so on.
The error I get all time time now has something to do with the existing service "SAP DB WWW ".
I see it when run the services.msc, but I don't know how do delete it. Deactivation will work but it will run into the same error.
Maybe another issue:

Hello Thomas,
I see it when run the services.msc, but I don't know how do delete it. Deactivation will work but it will run into the same error.
To delete the service please try the following command in the windows console:
sc delete <name of the service>
sc delete SAP DB WWW
The service has to be stopped and perhaps you have to restart your computer afterwards.
Maybe another issue:
I can ping 10.10.0.10 but not the entered hostname in file host
Please check the hosts-file under C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc again.
Perhaps post your added entry here so that we can check it.
While installing please also deactivate all installed antivirus- or/and firewall-programs on your computer which could perhaps block a connection.
Hope it helps.
