Installing Live Cache Server on SCM 4.1 system

Hi All,
I have installed an SCM 4.1 Abap + Java System and Live cache client was installed during SCM 4.1 installation.
I would like to install Live cache server and i have problems with it.
I have downloaded the following installation guide
SAP liveCache 7.5.0 For SAP SCM Server 4.1
Document Version 1.02 u2013 April 8th, 2005
Guide tells us to use installation master CD for installating Live cache Server but note 708118 tells us to use the CD 51031447
04 Nov 05 Windows AMD64: Start Installation from liveCache CD
Start the installation of the liveCache server or client from the liveCache
CD (number 51031447) and not from the installation master CD (number
51031443)
Upon checking the cd 51031447 i see SDBINST.exe and upon clicking it i get the following screen
Installation of SAP LiveCache Software
existing profiles
0: APO Livecache
1: Runtime for SAP AS
2: DB Analyzer
3: JDBC
4: Server
5: Loader
6: ODBC
7: All
8: None
Please enter profile id :
I select profile 0 and it comes back with another user input option
Im searching for a document which gives me the procedure for installing Live cache using SBDINST.exe
Regards,
Ershad Ahmed.

Hi All,
I went ahead with Option 0 and it asked me for Kernel file and i provided the files.
I checked logs in /sapdb/wrk directory and i see that Installation of SAP livecache finished successfully.
From LC10 i gave database connection name (LCA) and clicked on live cache monitoring and it comes back with an error
Name and Server : LCA - XXXXXXX (XXXXX = Server Name)
DBMRFC Function: DBM_EXECUTE
Command: dbm_version
Error: DBM Error

     For detailed information, see the developer trace for work process:          1
From the OS level i gave command dbmcli db_enum and i get OK as reply.
Can someone please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Hi All,

Hi i am getting an error like this while installing Live Cycle Server " The file merge_modules\lc11_common_iam_zip does not exist This file is required sucessfullly run the Live Cycle Installer.Can any one help me on resolving this issue it would be of great help..thanks .

I think in your situation it would be worth trying the things listed under the event. It does have to do with FRS and it's easy to do. I've used it to fix journal errors after a server unexpectedly restarts and sysvol stops replicating. I
could see where it could fix your issue, and if it doesn't, you're out 5 minutes. :)
The listed registry key does not exist
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click down the key path:
"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters"
Double click on the value name

Install additional application server for existing CE7.11 system

Hello Gurus,
We have an existing CE 7.11 system installed. After installation, we have updated the SPS level to 04 recently. The CE 7.11 system is already part of a NWDI track configuration since many months and developers are already using since then.
Now, we need to install an additional application server (dialog instance) for the same system.
I want to know: Do I need to carry out any further post-installation steps after installation of the new app server?
Does it matter that the system is already at a certain SPS level including an updated kernel? Will there be any issues at all?
Basically, what else should I do after the installation of the app server is completed?
Thanks and Regards,
Shitij

SCM + Live cache

Hi All,
we are planning to install SCM Server version 5.0 with live cache server ,
please help on connectivity with Live cache server
In SCm 4 it is inbuit , does we require separate Live cache server for any SCm Version
We are stuck on this ,
please help
Thanks & Regds
Manish

Hi Manish
Yes, you would need a seperate server for Live Cache, we just completed installation of SCM 5.1 with LiveCache 7.7
Install the Live Cache 7.7 as per the install guide (This is MAX DB not Oracle) or the version you need on a seperate server.
You can do this install before you install SCM system, when you are in the install process of SCM system it will prompt you to enter LiveCache details. Or if you wish you can do it later.
IMP: There will not be any GUI to start and stop Live Cache alone, start and stop of Live Cache happens from SCM system using the transaction LC10.
Once both systems are up and running, use LC10 from SCM system to complete the post install steps and complete the configuration. DO NOT GET CONFUSED WITH POST INSTALLTION PART in the Live Cache install guide, these should be done from SCM system.
Backups: You need seperate backups for SCM and for LCA (Standard SAP naming convention for LiveCache Database)
Hope this helps. Let me know if you understand this.
Thanks

Hi having a problem upgrading SCM 4.1 APO Live Cache

Hi I am new to SCM and I came into a project that was already started, I am doing a SUM upgrade and its at the upgrade of Live Cache I need to run the report /SAPAPO/OM_LC_UPGRADE_70 and perform all steps in section A. when I try to run the report it comes back "No shared library for the database with ID LCA" I checked LC10 and saw in the Settings that the database is still pointing back to the source system it was copied from. Like I said I walked into this in the middle the they are upgrading from SCM 4.1 to 7.0EHP3 on SQL 2012 and Windows 2012 so they built the 2012 Vm installed the Central services and when they installed the DB it was an attach / detach method and I installed the DB instance. Question should any of the file directories have come with the attach db there are no sapdb in the directories do I just install the live cache and that installs the maxdb and makes the directories /sapdb/ because I see them in the source system? I tried installing the live cache that came with the original system but it had errors.

Hi All,
I went ahead with Option 0 and it asked me for Kernel file and i provided the files.
I checked logs in /sapdb/wrk directory and i see that Installation of SAP livecache finished successfully.

Live Cache config prob!!!!!!

Dear All,
I have just installed IDES of SCM 5.0 and scheduled and released the default jobs from sm36. But from sm37 I can see that the jobs are getting cancelled .
1)" Connection to LiveCache Failed " .
2)" LiveCache Lock Server not Accessible " .
I have installed ABAP + JAVA and logged in client 001.
Please advice ........
Regards,
Souren

Hi Natalia,
Thanks for the reply.
Ours is win2k3 32 bit system where we have installed :
(1) Oracle 10.2 &
(2) SCM 5.0 server (Central System Installation).
During Installation, SAPinst asked for Live cache related details (eg, Live Cache ID - we have given LC1, Control user's Pwd etc) along with the installation DVD for the same - where we have given the DVD 51032259_11 (NW 2004s SR2 liveCache 7.6.0 Windows Server on IA32 32bit).
The installation completed successfully. Our SCM system id is SR3.
**Does this mean that Live Cache Server got installed ??
After the above installation, we have referred the "Installation - SAP liveCache Technology on Win - NW 7.0 SR2" and tried to do the post installation steps (Assuming that Live cache got installed )
We created the RFC user with all the authorizations as described in the SAP note for the same.
During the post installation step :
dbmcli d <SID> -u <controluser>,<password> db_offline,
we got the following error:
ERROR! Connection failed to node <LOCAL> for database <SID>:
Database instance not found.
We tried with both SR3 & LC1 as SID but the result is same.
Further, we tried the next post installation step using LC10.
After Integrating LCA,LDA & LEA, when we tried to "monitor" the Live Cache (by clicking the Live Cache: Monitoring button), we got the following error:
DBMRFC Function : DBM_CONNECT
Error :DBM Error
Return Code : -4
Error Message database instance not found
How should we proceed now??
Thanks & Regards,
Souren

Sure - how did you uninstall the former installation?
rm -f /sapdb/<DBSID> ??
To correctly uninstall a MaxDB/liveCache you'll always have to use the SDBUNINST tool.
Since there seems to be another installation on the same server, it's now a bit complicated to clean up the registration mess... You should open a support message for that. Then we'll see what we can do here.

Live Cache Monitoring. DBM_CONNECT DBM Error

Hi Gurus,
I have Installed TM7.0 system which is on NW7.0 with EHP1 on windows server2003 and Oracle DB. i have also installed SCM optimizer.
after i installed Live Cache, in transaction LC10 i have maintained the data in integration tab. When i click the 'liveCache : monitoring' tab i get the following error.
Name and Server     : TM7 - CTSGVCSAPBL07
DBMRFC Function     : DBM_CONNECT
Error               : DBM Error
Return Code         :         -2
Error Message       : ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed#
This implies that the connectivity to the MaxDB database is giving authoization error.
The user with which i have logged in(SAP logon) has the following roles -
SAP_LCA_ALL
SAP_BC_LVC_SUPERUSER
Thanks in advance
Sriram

Hi,
please take a look at SAP note 990602, specifically point 11; use transaction DB59 to check the connection to your liveCache instance.
From the error message you receive, it seems likely that the integration data (user/password combination) for your liveCache instance is incorrect.

Roland

Cache server-Content server

Hi,
    1. What is the procedure to copy originals from local content server to central content servers located at different geographical locations. (There is a report SAPKROTP, but i am unable to execute it). Even if copy it, will it display in DIR as two different files.
   2. About Cache server : As name implies it is a temp storage and based on reference from SAP help and few other documents, it is very clear that documents cannot be checked in cache server. Also We are not defining cache server in OAC0 and OACT settings. Hence Can we check-in originals in cache server?.
     If any of you have worked with multiple caching and multiple content server distributed environment, please mail me the document. My mail id is [email protected]
Prasanna
<b>Points will be awarded for useful answers</b>

Hi Prasanna,
A Cache Server is used to store copies of documents when they are accessed for the first time. As a result, the documents can be accessed again more quickly, since the contents are taken directly from the Cache.
With Cache the Originals documents are stored in one location on content server. The copies in the cache can be replaced with newer content at any time.
The Original document will still be located on the Content Server
The Content Server can Retrieve the cache Content at any time
As earlier i had told you that any number of content servers can be installed in different locations. The contents are transferred directly b/w the client & content server. If the Content server are accessed from different locations that are linked via WAN cache servers should be used.
You need to install one Cache Server at each location on WAN for enhancing the performance & Reducing the traffic in Network. So Cache server is used only for speeding up accesses of documents stored.
For Customizing the Multilayer Cache Servers & Content Servers follow this SAP NOTE <b>0216419</b>
Hope following this Note will help you & solve your problem.

Cache Server DB

Dear Expert
DMS DB ( maxdb ) attach and de-attach work with cache server.
we have already implement Content Server few month back and now we need to install DMS cache server for Content server.
Our Content server grow up to 30 GB and we need to fill our Cache Server with the same.
My question is if take backup of Database CS server ( 30 gb) attach to Cacher server ( I mean attach and de-attach) will it work for cacahe sever same as CS server.
Regards

Hi,
You may need to install Cache Server like you did for content server using sapinst installer.
Refer SAP Note 216419 - Multilevel caching and content server
For cache server configuration.
Attach and Detach won't work in MaxDB. You may need to perform backup/restore which I feel won't be a good practise here.
