Installing SAP R/3 with SQL Server 2005..

Hi,
Microsoft is about to release "SQL 2005" in Nov05. Has anybody in here thought of installing/upgrading SAP on MS-SQL's latest version of the database server. On doing some research on the net I noticed that Microsoft has already upgraded their SAP R/3 environment to the beta edition of SQL Server 2005. I did not find any information on SAP having certified SQL Server 2005 yet.
Do we have to wait till ECC6.0 or whatever the new version of ECC would be to leverage the SQL Server 2005 D/b ?
Any thoughts/information on the readiness of SQL Server 2005 for SAP R/3 would be appreciated.
Jay

Hi Jay,
   Past experience says SAP won't support a new platform (e.g. DB, OS, etc) until they have had a chance to test it.  Your official SAP document for what is supported is in the Product Availability Matrix.  http://service.sap.com/pam
With that said, that doesn't mean that you can't try it out. Of course not in a test environment. You get some very good learning experiences from trying.  But don't enter a customer message about a non supported platform.
Good luck,
John

    Sudarshan,
    Occasionally, mid-way through the upgrade, DB permissions to users might change. Check to see, if the users SAP<SID>, OPS$ users have the DBA privilege. Re-assign the role and try continuing with the upgrade.

    You should change it to allow mixed authentication. You can do this in SQL Server Management Studio under Server Properties -> Security.

  • ODI 10.1.3.5 with SQL Server 2005

    Good afternoon,
    We recently installed 10.1.3.5, in a Windows environment with SQL Server 2005 and Hyperion Essbase/Planning/HFM 11.1.1. We were following John Goodwin's infamous blog (thanks, John!), but ran into a number of snags.
    For instance, when we set-up interfaces with flat files as the source, loading metadata either to Planning or Essbase, ODI errors out when:
    1) our header name in the flat file has spaces (using double quotes didn't work)
    2) our header name in the flat file is different than the reverse property name from Essbase/Planning.
    Also, we're now seeing an issue in our Flat file to Essbase metadata interface where the SQL used in the IKM seems to be incorrect. Below is the error message we're receiving:
    "org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
    Traceback (innermost last):
    File "<string>", line 20, in ?
    com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements,
    look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Add a name or single space as the alias name."
    We are thinking that the culprit may be either the wrong .jar or .jre we're using with SQL Server 2005, as there seem to be inherent issues with the SQL generated in the LKM and IKM. Our questions to you:
    1. What sqljdbc.jar driver version are you using?
    2. What .jre version are you using?
    3. What environment does the above work correctly in? (perhaps an earlier version of ODI against an earlier version of Hyperion?)
    FYI - We have tried sqljdbc 1.0 and 2.0, with .jre 1.6.0_10.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you very much for responding!
    After a 2 week battle, we are now finally coming to a close on our issues (although we cannot say for sure what all of the causes were).
    Here is what we discovered about our questions, through other threads:
    1. John Goodwin was using JRE 1.6.x, so we ruled that out as a culprit.
    2. Others are using SQL Server 2005 just fine with ODI, so we ruled this out too. We chose to keep the sqljdbc 2.0 driver.
    Here are some issues we did uncover during our investigation:
    1. We were having issues with our agent, specifically regarding the HFM technology. We created a new one, added a few extra parameters, compiled the agent, and are now back up and running. We realized the problem when we switched to "Local (No Agent)" and saw that we were not having as many issues.
    2. We went into the physical agent and pressed "Update Scheduling". We do not know if this had any effect, but we suddenly noticed that our flat file header issues were resolved.
    3. The Essbase issue was due to a configuration error with our Hyperion Essbase physical technology. We went into that technology and changed a setting on the "Languages" tab, called "Object Delimiter". It had double-quotes in it - we removed that parameter and instantly saw a change in the SQL being executed.
    4. Some of the mappings in our interfaces needed to be executed on different environments. i.e. - We needed to switch to "staging" when the flat file header was different than the target column name. Newbie mistake - we thought ODI had built-in intelligence to choose correctly for us.
    5. When doing a reverse on Essbase models, we noticed that the Essbase columns would populate with an "Undefined" datatype, instead of the expected CHAR. We have to manually define all column datatypes after every Essbase reverse now. Must be a bug.
    6. We also noticed when doing a flat file reverse that all columns auto-populate with datatype STRING, length 50. We have to manually personalize that option for different Hyperion applications, based on need. i.e. - some require numeric datatypes, or smaller/larger lengths. This was obviously a newbie error. :)
    Thank you for your tip on the MS SS2005 JDBC drivers - we will look into your other options - IMHO, JTDS, etc.

    The JDBC-ODBC bridge wasn't recognizing any of the primary keys I had set up in SQL Server. After lots of head banging, here's the solution I came up with:
    1. Download the appropriate driver. SQL Server 2000 requires the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=07287B11-0502-461A-B138-2AA54BFDC03A&displaylang=en).
    SQL Server 2005 download: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en)
    3. After installing, right-click on "Libraries" in your project, and choose "Add Library...". Next, give it a name (i.e. SQLServer2000), and select "Class Libraries".
    4. On the next screen, find the JAR files (should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\), and add them under the "Classpath" tab. It will now be available under "Libraries" for future projects.
    5. You can now create a connection to a specific database under the "Services" tab (next to "Projects" and "Files" in the top left of the screen). Select "Microsoft Sql Server 2000 (Microsoft Driver)" and format the "Database URL" like this:
    jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver//YOURSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=YOURDATABASE
    1433 is the default port, though your DBA may have changed it.
    I posted a simpler version of this on the NetBeans.org FAQ page - they had the following title with no content on the answer page:
    "Cannot Select Tables From MsSql 2000 Because It Says No Primary Key Next To Each Table But The Tables DO Have A Primary Key. What Do I Do?"

    Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

    Hello Kamlesh,
    There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
    You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

  • EPM 11 Configuration with SQL Server 2005

    Hello,
    I am having a terrible time trying to get the EPM System Configurer to communicate with SQL Server 2005 Evalution. I keep getting the error "Cannot open database "server" requested by the login. The login failed." I have the windows firewall turned off. The protocol TCPIP is turned on and other protocal are turned off. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    As John mentioned it is supposed to be supported in a future release. That version would be 11.2 -- there will be a version coming out before 11.2 and it will not support 2008.

    Hi Dimitri,
    SQL Server 2005 is NOT support by SBO 2005 SP0 only SP01 and after

  • BPC 5.1 SP11 with SQL SERVER 2005 SP3

    Hi all,
    i have a BPC 5.1 SP11 single-server installation.
    I know the DB Server prerequisite is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 and cumulative update package 8.
    SQL Server 2005 SP3 is supported?
    is there any document about compatibility?
    have i install SP3 before or after BPC Installation?
    thanks

    HI Paolo,
    SQL Server 2005 SP3 is supported with SAP BPC 5.1 SP3 or any other later version.
    We already installed for few customers SP3 and this patch fix bugs into SSAS and also improve some performances regarding SSAS.
    So the recommendation will be to apply this patch in your environment because it will bring just benefits.
    If you have multiserver installation remmeber that you have to apply the patch in all servers not just into Database server.

  • How do I install the jdbc driver for sql server 2005, in sql developer 4.0 ?

    Hallo together
    I need access to tables in a MS SQL Server 2005 database.
    One possibility is the JDBC driver.
    How do i install this driver ?
    Thank you very much for your postings.

    Hi,
      This is from the documentation -
    Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers
    The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:
    For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download
    To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate website (for example, http://www.mysql.com for the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the jTDS driver for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server, or search at http://www.teradata.com/ for the JDBC driver for Teradata). For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.
    You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)
    Alternative:
    As an alternative to using this preference, you can click Help, then Check for Updates to install the JTDS JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server and the MySQL JDBE Driver as extensions.
    Regards,
    Mike
