R/3 Implmenetation Landscape Local/Domain Installation

Hi,
Client wanted to Implement ECC6 Landscape installation on Windows. My question is during installation which method recomenadable Local/Domain .
If it is local how the transport" \usr\sap\trans "directory would be shared from across dev,qa,and prod systems.
In Unix we can use NFS mounts .what about windows if i install local installation.
For domain installation they need to create a user with domain admin rights . also can create domian groups.
Which method recomenadable .Since client is fully secured , Also let me know what are the ports need to open to communicate between the systems (dev/qa/prod) and fronend users.
Thanks in advance,
kristene

in a local installation method the system which has trans
directory , if you dev system contains usr/sap/trans then
DEVadm and sapserviceDEV has to created in all the systems
whith the same rights and password in all the systems.sap recommends to use domain

BPC multi server install local + domain installation

Hi all,
Is it possible to install a BPC multi server local + domain installation?
will be installing BPP app server locally, using local admin
and install BPC DB server using domain account?
will that be possible?
Company wants BPC users to be maintained locally in 1 server, but the DB will be maintained by domain administrator
THanks!

Hi Jeb,
The authentication to IIS level is done with local user but after that all the operation between application server and database server are impersonate and are using the installation user which has full access.
I hope you stored the webfolders into application server because if you didn't do that again you will have a problem with access.
File server will be access at is working using NTFS rights.
So if you store the File Server into db server again you will have access problems because the users from application server will not be able to access the file server.
If you have File Server into application server then it muust be ok.
You said the connection wizard is working fine ...so the only problem which I see it seems to be related to file server.
Check the the rights to Webfolders and make sure you are not into situation mentioned before.

Lockal Installation transfer to Domain Installation

Hello frends,
Probably I have a very strange question but no matter....
I made a <b>lockal</b> Installation of 4.6C System (Central Instance and DB together) on the Server which is a member of our Domain. This is a new 'empty' installation of SAP R/3. Is it possible to set up it as Domain-Instalation now?
Due to Lockal installation I have two lockal users <SID>adm and SAPService<SID>. Is it enough to create the users as Domain-Users?
I will be very pleased for any information about that.
Best regards
Vladimir

well, it is not sufficient to create the domain users, there are a lot of other steps to do:
- Creating Domain Users
- Creating Domain Groups
- Assigning User to Groups
- Create / Copy User Environment for Domain Users.
- change service definitions to use Domain Users
- change sap environment user to domain user
- in newer SAP versions (>700) you also need to set security on Registry,
Services, Cluster Configuration, Filesystem
- depending on the database vendor additional steps may be necessary (for Oracle create OPS$ accounts, SAPUSER Table, assigning password to SAP database user, filesystem security on some oracle specific directories).
All those steps where done during a homogenious system copy using Backup/restore procedure. Therefore I strongly recomment to use this one.

To change a domain installation to local installation

Hi,
To give you a little background,
We currently have two instance of SAP R/3 running on a server, ECC 5.0, 6.0, Oracle, on Windows.
Our organization was recently acquired by another company, because of this we had to go for a domain change.
To change the domain, system copy is procedure used. I have used the R3load procedure to
perform an export of the existing systems.
While this was happening, I am also working on another issue, with SAP's support, for this purpose, the said server
is currently in a DMZ to be exposed to SAP's support. According to our network guys, we do not have domain controllers
in DMZ, the server has to be a workgroup(if I understand it correctly, its local authentication). To enable this I would have
to use the export I had taken to do a local installation. This is just until the issue gets resolved, once that is done, server
will be moved out of DMZ and into the domain again. At which point, I would have to redo everything back into the new
domain.
This local installation has to be performed on the same server, by uninstalling the current SAP installation.
I have read several posts, regarding database copy, database restore. I am a little confused.
Below is a post where Markus suggests, database copy,
Re: Copying a Domain installed SAP System to Local Installed SAP System.
My questions are,
1. Even though I am fairly confident, the export was a success, Can I use the existing database setup, since
it is on the same server?
2. If I have to uninstall the existing system, it is my understanding that I would install the central instance as
a local installation and restore the db, How do I restore database for Oracle? I have looked for a relevant doc,
unsuccessfully.
3. The issue that I am working on with SAP's support, is related to webservices, where in we are trying to call
an external webservice from SAP, I am a little skeptical, if the functionality would remain the same after a local
installation, can somebody shed some light on this as well?
Thanks,
Vishnu

Hi dude!
To answer to the main question here: you are right, the supported method to change a domain (and this would include a change from domain to local installation or vice-versa) is, as you already know, to perform a system copy ( homogeneous system copy if the platform remains unchanged under the conditions of [note 547314|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/547314]). You can refer to [SAP note 1233320|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1233320] to get further details.
However, let me explain that an export with R3trans is not necessary if the system copy is an homogeneous one. Using a database-specific procedure (e.g. attaching the MS SQL Server database files to another SQL Server engine) is faster by far. You can search for notes on the suitable procedure specific for your database (these will be in the component BC-DB-*, e.g. BC-DB-ORA for Oracle databases). Suggestion: look for "system copy" or "database copy" in the BC-DB-ORA component for your particular case.
In order to get further information on all this, please check [System Copy and Migration homepage on the SAP Developer Network (SDN)|System Copy and Migration]. In that page you will find also a direct link to the [Installation Guides|http://service.sap.com/instguidesnw]; the link is referred as System Copy Guides, from which you should follow your SAP release (e.g. SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s)), then press the link plan and install (under the Installation section)
and finally, navigate to the section in which the PDF System Copy guides are (in this example, press 2 - Installation - SAP NetWeaver Systems to display the guides, and download e.g. the +System Copy for SAP Systems Based on NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP + Java+).
If you read the System Copy PDF document very carefully and do not dismiss to check the referred notes, this will be as easy as a pie!
Cheers!!

Hello Kristene,
Always install SAP in a Domain. You may want to talk to your Active Directory team regarding their domain structure to select the most appropriate domain if your customer is using a multi-domain architecture.
The ECC 6.0 installation guide and the Netweaver 2004s installation guides have a section on "How to install SAP if you do not have domain admin access". It is explained in detail. Basically you get your AD team to create the accounts prior to your installation.
I would recommend you AD team create a new container and delegate control of the container to the Basis team. You should create all your service accounts in this container.
If you want to determine which ports to open - you can look at the windows\system32\drivers\etc\services file. This applies only for ABAP based systems, not Java. If you ask you security team to open 3200-3600, 4800-4801 and 40080-49980 this usually will work.
Good luck

Problem in Domain Server for Cluster SAP installation

Hello,
SAP Production Landscape Information :
SAP Version: ECC 6.0
OS: Windows 2003
Database : Oracle 10.2.0.2
Production Server is in MSCS cluster involving two nodes.
Also, this is a domain installation and hence user SAPSID and SAPSERVICESID resides on altogether different domain Server.
Problem:
OS of u2018Windows domain serveru2019 has crashed. Hence, domain server is almost not usable.
Restart of it takes several hours. Repair of OS is tried by Microsoft without any success.
So this has resulted into communication problem between SAP Production server and Domain server. As an effect, restart of production server takes approximately an hour.
And hence I need some solution to resolve this SAP Server  Domain Server link.
Logically, following can be solution of this problem,
1.     If Current SAP Production can be made as Local Installation instead of Domain installation. (Basically, creating users locally and making SAP refer that)
2.     If above is not feasible then replicating domain server on new hardware and making SAP point to this new domain server.
However, I am not sure about feasibility and procedures for both of above cases.
Please let me know your views and any other solution for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply.
Possibility of converting domain installation to local is ruled out as MSCS cluster needs domain.
As you have rightly mentioned, I do have secondary domain sever.
For More information:
1)Domain details for primary server are
    Full computer name : APPL-SERVER.SHREE
    domain            : SHREE
   as secondary server is kept shutdown, details are not available. (I can't run both server running simultaneously)
2)sqlplus "/as sysdba"
sql> select username from dba_users;
    TSMSYS
    OPS$SHREE\SAPSERVICEPRD
    OUTLN
    OPS$SHREE\PRDADM
    DIP
    DBSNMP
    SAPPRD
    SYS
    SYSTEM
3) In the services, mainly users are using SHREE\PRDADM & PASSWORD.
Client have tried shutting down primary and promoting secondary domain controller. However, after that SAP service were not getting started. But on again starting primary controller,start of SAP services were successful.
As can be seen in 2nd & 3rd point above,SAP database and SAP services both refer to name "SHREE" which seems domain name and not to hostname.
So in this case, when I start secondary domain server (primary is shut down) then as SAP is referring to domain name, SAP's service should start.
However, that was not the case. SAP Services were not able to get started.
So, do we have to change anything in SAP as to make it point to secondary domain server.
Let me know your views.
Regards,
Nirav.

Converting a local SAP installation into a domain SAP installation

Hello,
We plan to convert a local installed SAP system into a domain installed SAP system. Is it just enough to change the user from the services SAPOSCOL and SAP<SID>_nn from local to domain users? If not, what else do I have to do or do we have to do this by a system copy ;-( We use SAP ECC6.0 EHP4.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi,
Would also suggest to check this thread:
Change from local to domain installation
We have tried this approach and works fine - saved quite some time and effort. However if you want to go the safe way, please go for a system copy as Sunny suggested. Either way, I recommend a complete backup first

Problem with database instance installation

Hi@all,
I'm dealing with the installation of the sap solution manager 3.2 SR1.
The platform is a win 2000 server, I use Oracle as the database.
Oracle was installed successfully and the installation of the central instance terminated without errors.
Now I try to install the next step, the database instance.
I always choosed the standard parameters, except for I choosed no domain installation and unchecked using SLD.
Nevertheless, the installation procedure stops at step 16 with the following error log entry (partially translated from german to english):
System call failed. Error 1332 (Allocations of account names and safety identifications were not accomplished.
) in execution of system call 'LookupAccountName' with parameter (NULL, Administrators, ...), line (305) in file (synxcaccmg.cpp).
I've attached the full logfille here.
Looks like sapinst cannot get the system user parameters?
How could I solve this? Any idea?

This was the clue
I read through the whole planning and preparation tutorial and through the preinstallation and installation tutorial.
There's no recommondation to have the english os version installed.
But better such an easy problem instead of a difficult one
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply. Still I am not clear on how to use the STM tools in my scenario. I had issues with the domain installation with distributed in a cluster. Working with SAP and got a reply today saying that SAPINST will be modified.

TREX Installation, Error in phase - Install TREX web resources and finalize

Hello,
Platforms:
SO - Win 2008 (R2) X64
During the last phase "Install TREX web resources and finalize instance" in installation process of TREX 7.1, it show me a weird error...
It seems that was some problem during the creation of sap start service of this new instance... but that is weird because I checked at services.msc and that service SAPTSM_02 and nothing seems wrong with it, it seems that was well created and it is in Started mode!... I checked firewall settings (all of them are in OFF status), I also checked CUA settings (is stopped)...
I searched for this error and I found the following SDN forum:
SAPNW EHP1 SR1
I already press the retry button but it always show me the same error.
During this phase the SAPInst window show some information and in there I see this two:
creating sap start service of instance TSM/TRX02...

It is very weird thing!
I will post some log files such as sapstartsrv.exe and sapinst.log.

Hello Arjun Venkateswarlu,
1).Is your Windows Firwall is enabled ? Disable the windows Firewall and also restart SAPinst
- As I said the windows firewall is disable (OFF)
2). Make sure that <sid>adm belongs to the local admins or Better provide the domain admin rights to the id which you are using for installation if it is domain installation.
- All the created users during this installation belongs to local admins. This isn´t a domain installation!
3). Try Restarting the installation by stopping and starting Windows and restart SAPINST and coninue Old Installation again.
- I already did that... but it continues to show me the same error!
Any other tip?
Kind regards,
JDimas

Hi,
I would try adding epdadm and SAPServiceEPD accounts to Administrators group and give Administrators full access to sapmnt shared area. Also double check SAP_EPD_GlobalAdmin domain admin authority and SAP_LocalAdmin and SAP_EPD_LocalAdmin accounts.
Open
DCASAPHR05\sapmnt\EPD\SYS\profile folder using explorer and created file and see if there is any authorzation issues with domail\sapinst account.
good luck

Then you use the Local or Domain installation ? I'm think second ...
First of all do not use <sapsid>adm for the installation,
second, if you use domain installation :
you need read the instguide more clearly :
Required User Authorization for the Installation
Domain Installation
and the
Performing a Domain Installation without being a Domain Administrator
try to read in installation guide.

XI Installation: invalid XI SAP sid adm password

During an initial XI installation on top of an ABAP + JAVA NW04 system. In the Java Deployment > Windows Domain installation step i am unable to enter the correct SAP <sid>adm password with below error message:
"Invalid password. DIAGNOSIS: The password you specified for user 'xi2adm' is wrong. SOLUTION: Enter the correct password."
In the sapinst_dev.log is the following:
TRACE      [iaxxgenimp.cpp:845]
           showDialog()
waiting for an answer from gui

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Vivian Liu,
   I am trying to install XI on Windows2003/sql server.
I have installed os/sp3/sqlserver/patches/Central Instance/Db instance.
I have used Administrator account to install this.
1. When do i need to create <SID>adm user?
2. If you have any installation notes with the sequence of steps, can you please send it to me at [email protected]
Thank you

Unable to login from another domain with BPC 7.0

Hi,
We have done a domain installation of BPC 7.0 and with a client in the same domain (domain X) we are able to login, but not with a client in a different domain (domain Y).
When it asks the credentials we introduce the user and password in the original domain but it is not able to connect.
We don´t want to register users from domain Y. We just want to connect from machines in that domain,
Do you know if this connection is possible?
Thanks,
Roberto

Hello Roberto,
When you install SAP BPC on domain X, you will be able to connect only with the X Domain\BPC SYS ADMIN ID user.
If you want to log on the machine with a Y Domain account, you must check if it's possible with the AD administrator.
If you want to log on BPC with a Y Domain account, you have to add this Y Domain account in the internal BPC security. For that you must :
First : Add a Domain Y entry in SAP BPC Server Manager.
Second : Add user in BPC security for the desired AppSet.
Sincerely

Is domain installation mandatory?
