Livecache 7.5 installation

Hi All
We are planning to install a new Livecache 7.5 on AIX 5.1 server but we already have another SAPDB version 7.3.0 installed on same machine (It servs an XI installation). Our doubt is :
1. During the installation fase (for Livecache), our indep programs will be upgraded or do we need to do it before?
2. Is there any problem installing and working with this two softwares on same host?
Many Thanks
Daniela Godoi

Hello Daniela,
you should be able to run both on the same machine. Please make sure both instances are correctly configured and sized, so that you don't run into resource problems.
To answer your questions:
1. You have to do it before. In case you try to install a new liveCache/MaxDB 7.5 instance on a machine which already has a liveCache/SAP DB instance <= 7.4, then you need to upgrade the Client Installation first.
In other words: install the 7.5 client on your machine first (you can use sdbinst using the new 7.5 liveCache software to do that, as described in OSS note 649814). 
!!! IMPORTANT:
Please be aware that with liveCache 7.5 there's a new Unix security concept. During the above client installation, you will be asked for a user & group, to whom the database will belong. The defaults are 'sdb' (user) and 'sdba' (group). If you have no objection against these, I suggest you take the defaults.
-> The user of the other instances (7.3) will then be placed in the 'sdba' group.
After installing the new 7.5 client software, you should be able to follow your 7.5 liveCache installation guide to install the complete liveCache 7.5 software.
2. As said in the beginning, there should be no problems, <i>if</i> everything is handled correctly.
Should you experience any problems at all, I'll probably ask you to open a OSS/CSS message on queue BC-DB-LVC.
Kind regards,
Roland

  • Has LiveCache been installed?

    Hi,
    I am installing SCM5.0 on Windows 2003 x64 hardware and SQL Server 2005. I installed SCM5.0, Livecache, and everything else on the same box. The installation completed without problem. Now I am in post-installation steps and I have following questions:
    1. How do I know the livecache is actually installed? In my case, a separate database for livecache will be created in SQL Server or it still will create a separate MAXDB database? In SQL Server I only see one database(APS)of my SCM5.0 no database of livecache (LCS the name I gave during the installation). I did find it created a sapdb directory in OS level, but seems no MAXDB database created.
    2. The installation also created DBM Command Line Interface but when I tried to connect it using the username/password, it said database instance not exist.
    3. When I run transaction LC10 inside SCM Instance, click LiveCache monitor and I got error message "database instance not found"
    All these are telling me livecache and its database may not be even installed. Is this correct? How do I know the livecache get installed? Again, my installation went through no problem. Any input/experience are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Yujun Ran

    Hi Natalia,
    Thanks for your quick and very informational response. I should mention that I only performed one SCM5.0 installation by using NW2004S_SR1 installation master. In this installation, it entered the parameter of LiveCache when the installation asked. I did not perform a separate, independent livecache installation at all since I assume the first installtion should install livecache already because it was asking to enter livecache parameter. Now I realize I may only installed livecache client software as you pointed out and I should still have to perform a standalone livecache installation on this same box, is this correct?
    1. I ran several commands you suggested and get following results, all pointing to no livecache database been installed at all. The information is as below:

    2. I ran command and it said database instance not found again and no XCMDOUT.LOG file found in my server at all.
    3. I didn't open a OSS message to SAP as I believe it's something in my end. Looks like I should install a independt livecache on the same server. The DVD I plan to use is 51031830_12. Could you confirm that for me?
    Thanks again for you helpful answer. I have give you 6 points reward.

    I never heard of this specific scenario for liveCache usage in the past 7 years working in SAP support on the liveCache component.
    Might be useful if you provide some more details (documentation, notes, links) that describe this usage scenario.
    In any case you will need to have a liveCache version that is compatible to your application ABAP coding.
    The error message you posted indicates that your liveCache version does not fit your application version (or vice versa).

    Be precise, please. Which installation guide? There are hundreds of them - not THE installation guide.

    Already did.

    Well, the liveCache needs to be integrated into the LC10. You'd do this in transaction SM59 - but as you've followed an installation guide, this would have been covered in it...

    The only thing this tells us is: the liveCache instance itself apparently comes up and writes out the standard log files.
    That's it.
    As I already tried to explain, the problem seems to be the dependence between your application and the liveCache version.
    Usually I'd recommend to open a support message for this, but the colleagues would (hopefully) ask the same questions as I did.

    I´ve installed the livecache whit the installation guide, with the default paths of the sapinst. Only I´ve change the path of the datafiles.
    Please run as root user:
    cd /sapdb/programs/bin
    ./sdbverify
    The output of the file sdbverify is more large. What part of the file are you need?
    to check if the database software installed correctly.

  • SCM Dialog instance installation, post installation activity for livecache

    Hi All,
    We have installed SCM 7.0 Central instance with Livecache server. Now we have successfully installed additional application server (i.e. Dialog instance) for this SCM 7.0 system.
    We need to know
    After installation of SCM 7.0 Dialog instance what are the post installation activities?
    How we should integrate the livecache server with the Dialog instance which is installed on different hardware.
    We need to know how livecache server understand that the additonal application server ? Is there anything to do in LC10?
    Please reply
    Thanks

    Hi Ashley,
    Thanks for your time.
    Since i am installing app server, the SAP<SID> group will have to be online on this node. There is another group containing shared drives for components for livecache. This is also required to be online on node 2 for app server installation.
    The only cluster resource I can move back to node 1 is ORACLE<SID>. Tried doing that, but no luck.
    Any one here facing similar issue during SCM dialog instance installation in MSCS environment?

  • MaxDB and LiveCache installation

    Hello All,
    Tying to install LiveCache 7.7 part SCM 5.1 = SCM 2007
    I am trying to install liveCache on SuSE 10(Linux) with MaxDB. I would like to know that if I need to install MaxDB before I install the Livecache server using sapinst? Please advice!

  • Integrated LiveCache Installation

    Hi,
    I installed an SCM server 5.0 with an integrated liveCache on a 64 bit Windows platform.  When I'm trying to initiate the connections LCA, LDA and LEA that I created, i get this error stating that the database instance is not found.
    Here's the specific error:
    Name and Server     : LC1 - MDCSAP07
    DBMRFC Function     : DBM_CONNECT
    Error               : DBM Error
    Return Code         :         -4
    Error Message       : database instance not found
    During the installation of the SCM server, I defined AP1 as the SID for the system and SAPAP1 as the ABAP schema user.
    Later on the installation, I was prompted to define a liveCache ID as well as the liveCache user. I used LC1 as the liveCache ID and SAPLC1 as the user.
    Would this be the cause of the database instance connection failure?
    Should the liveCache ID be the same as the SCM SID since the liveCache was integrated in the SCM installation and therefore will use the database of the SCM system?
    LiveCache experts please help!

    Hi Natalia,
                   I have one doubt regarding the installation of SCM 7.0 EHP1,hope you can help me in this regard.
    First let me clarify you on our scenario.
    We are doing a distributed installation where our CI will be on
    one server and DB will be on another server and we will do stanalone
    installation of livecache on CI server,so finally we will have
    CI and livecache on one server.
    DB on another server.
    But we are facing issues during installation of DB server , it
    was asking us to provide the livecache filesystem and dvd's.
    Until we have created the filesystem for livecache and provided the
    dvd's the installation was not going forward.
    After creating filesystem for livecache and providing DVD's
    installation went well and it has installed livecache and db on that
    server.
    Then we have installed standalone livecache on CI server and after that
    we have installed CI ,while installing CI it has again asked for
    livecache DVD's but it has only installed livecache client on CI server.
    According to you it will only install Livecache client on DB and there
    is no need for livecache filesystem but until or unless we have created
    the filesystem the installation didn't went forward,so our query here isthat is there any option that we can use to skip that livecache
    installation.

    Hi,
    if you're an official SAP customer, please open an official OSS message on queue BC-DB-LVC(-INS). An open Telnet-connection would greatly ease and speedup the analysis of the issue.
    My 2 cts on your issue:
    I suggest you check the liveCache software installation using 'sdbverify' to make sure that at least the software is installed correctly and all permissions are set as they should. Note <a href="https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=DISPL_TXT&_NNUM=546737&_NLANG=EN>">546737</a> shows more details about sdbverify.
    I think the sapinst.log and XCMDOUT.LOG look rather strange, because the sapinst.log shows the liveCache sid to be 'ALP", whereas XCMDOUT.LOG shows DBMCLI commands to a liveCache instance named 'dbciASP' .
    I don't think the 'dbciASP' is correct! Can't realy tell where it came from though, without a connection.
    Regards,
    Roland

  • Livecache server installation

    We have installed SCM 5.0 on Windows system32 bit with MS SQL server (Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1)
    While installing the livecache 7.6.* not getting the option for installing the livecache server & getting option for livecahe client only.
    OSS note: 919225 gives the requirement as the system with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 1 should be minimum requirement for installing the livecache server.
    But the OSS note 863952  clearly says “You can not run liveCache 7.6.0 server on 32-bit Windows platforms.”. both the OSS notes provide contradictory information.
    We are using the DVD (– mySAP Business Suite Solutions from SAP) and not getting the option for installing the livevcahe server under
    Choose SAP NetWeaver 2004s -> Standalone Engines -> liveCache  -> liveCache client
    Please help us to resolve this issue.

    Hello Clara,
    Please review the release information at
    service.sap.com/liveCache -> Release Information -> SAP LC/LCAPPS 5.0
    -> Matrix of released OS platforms for SAP liveCache Technology 7.6.0
    The database software is released Conditionally on WIN SERVER 2003 32-BIT::
    DB-Client Release for Application Server only.
    < And you have to check note 919225 for Windows IA32 system requirements,

    => both OSS notes didn't give the 'contradictory' information.
    You need the liveCache client software to be installed on the application server to be able to communicate to the liveCache server.

  • LiveCache Installation

    Hi,
    I am asked by my client to install SCM5.0. I was looking on OSS Install guides and I am actually confused on the installation procedure. I would appreciate if you can answer the following questions for me one by one.
    1. SCM5.0 (it is a NW04s or NW04).?
    2.If I install SCM 5.0 server , will it install the LiveCache by default or do I need to install LiveCache Seperately. If I need to install the LiveCache seperately, do I need to have the MAXDB/SAP DB software cd's as well. (as per OSS I need inst master and live cache dvd)
    3. How are SCM 5.0 and LiveCache and APO different?
    4. Can you please give me a high level steps for the install...(Like should I do the livecache install first and then og for SCM5.0 install or Install SCM and then install Live Cache etc
    5. For SCM install is it ABAP+JAVA Add in or Just JAVA or ABAP only or ABAP and JAVA.
    It is a little urgent and appreciate a quick response.
    Thanks,
    Madhukar

    Hello Madhukar,
    1. SCM Server 5.0 based on SAP NW 2004s
    2. Please review the document for the liveCache installation:
         service.sap.com/instguides -> mySAP Business Suite Applications
         -> mySAP SCM -> Using SAP SCM 5.0 Server ->
         "Installation - SAP liveCache Technology on Win(or UNIX) - NW04s"
    What database is going to use the customer? ( MAXDB ? )
    If the liveCache will be not installed on the application server, then you need
    liveCache client software to be installed on the application server for
    APO application to be able to communicate with liveCache.
    ( SAP notes 822239 & 649814 )
    3. What do you mean? Please review the documents at
        service.sap.com/scm -> mySAP SCM Technology ->
       "Architecture overview" & "liveCache overview"
    4. & 5. Please review first the documents at
        service.sap.com/scm -> mySAP SCM Technology ->
       "Architecture overview" & "Installation and Upgrade overview"
    And after that please start with SCM 5.0 Master installation guide at
    service.sap.com/instguides -> mySAP Business Suite Applications
         -> mySAP SCM -> Using SAP SCM 5.0 Server ->
                                "Master Guide - mySAP SCM Using SAP SCM 5.0"

        review on p. 18. >
    And as there are many questions from the different areas, and you have the
    SAP customer, please ask the customer to create the SAP ticket to 'BC-INS' or

    Pls reply on this.
    Thanks in advance
    Sandeep.

    If the /sapdb/programs directory does not exist, then the problem can be that the file /etc/opt/sdb exists from a previous installation of the LiveCache on this same server.   Delete or rename that file, and then ALSO stop and re-start the sapinst program as it appears to read this file at the initial startup and then continue to use that information when a retry of the failed installation is attempted.

  • Change unix UID on MaxDB/liveCache installation?

    Is it possible to change the UID of an existing liveCache install on a unix server?
    Example/Background: liveCache 7.7 installed on local host as user sdb using UID 255. Someone then reinstalled the system on same host, but redefined UID 210 for sdb. Person then imported data from backup file. Problem is that /etc/passwd synchronization changed sdb user UID to 255 and erased UID 210.  However MaxDB 7.7 system still writes new files still using original ID 210, not 255 ID.  Half the unix file ownership is user 210, half is 255. (thank goodness for group permissions!)
    Question is how to have MaxDB recognize the UID 255 not the 210 ID.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    > Is it possible to change the UID of an existing liveCache install on a unix server?
    Nope. At least there is no automatic way to do that.
    What you can do - err - should do is: reinstall the software via SDBINST.
    > Example/Background: liveCache 7.7 installed on local host as user sdb using UID 255. Someone then reinstalled the system on same host, but redefined UID 210 for sdb. Person then imported data from backup file.
    See, this problem, besides others, is one of the reasons, why 'installation by filecopy' is not supported. Re-install the software, that will solve the problem.
    > Question is how to have MaxDB recognize the UID 255 not the 210 ID.
    And again: reinstall the software.
    Come on, it's MaxDB - installations of the software and applying patches don't take hours (we're not like Oracle in that point ).

    Lars
