Move Central Instance to Another Server

Hello expert,
Now we have a distributed system: CI on server 1, DB on server 2. Now we want to move the CI to another server 3 without change the DB server.
We get some information from link Move the central instance to another server in SAP
We have few questions:
1. Can we change the SID of CI with method provided in link?
2. Any other additional steps should we do?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning

Hi Tong,
You can install a new SAP instance (CI) on the new server as your DB is not moving and is on different host, and replicate important files from your old CI host.
For eg, the host file, services file, trans directory and some work directory contents.
Also, if your server on same OS or different ?
You should check the compatibility of new OS and DB in service market place (PAM).
For changing SID, please use standard guides and tested WIKI links.
Regards,
Divyanshu

Cannot start instance of another server : correction

Athooya,
If you do not specify a weblogic.nodemanager.listenPort or
weblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress they will be set to the default.
So the listenAddress will be localhost and so not matching exactly the address
used by the remote
start. Please try to set the listen address of the Node Manager when it is
started. You can specify the address on which the Node Manager will listen for
requests from the
Administration Server with the following parameter: -Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress=host
where host is the DNS name or IP address of the machine where the Node Manager
is started.
The default port on which the Node Manager will listen for requests
from the Administration Server is 5555. You can change this with the following
startup parameter:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenPort=port

Changing essbase connection to another shared services instance on another server

Hi Everybody,
I'm working on 11.1.2.2 EPM platform and i need to change the essbase connection to Shared Services. I want to make it connecting to another instance on another server. So i think to launch the Configurator on the new server to connect the essbase to the new instance. However, what about the existing configuration? Do I need to unconfigure it? Is there a procedure that i could follow?
I hope i was clear... Thank you in advance for each considerations you could make about my issue.
Regards,
Maurizio

Thank you very much John!
It is the solution! Uninstalling Essbase removes the shared services registries so i colud make it point to the correct instance....
Thanks again!

Change a central instance to another host

Hi @all,
we want to change a Central Instance (ABAP and JAVA distributed) to another host.
centralinstance now sapci01 windows2000 Server 32 Bit
databasehost now sapdb01 windows2003 Server 32 Bit
centralinstance after sapci02 windows 2003 Server X86_64
sapci01 will deleted
Version SAP ERP 2005 SR1 on Oracle 10.2
In SAP ERP 2004 i can do this easy via SAPINST and he installs the central instance and the Oracle Client. In newest SAPInst is this not possible.
Can anyone tell me the SAP Conform right way to do this? In Instguide this scenario is not described. In my opinon I must handle this as SysCopy
thx

Hi Martin,
        "we want to change a Central Instance (ABAP and JAVA distributed) to another host. "
Do you mean ABAP and JAVA were installed with seperate installation numbers or database and CI are on another hosts. In either case, you can safely move CI to another physical host.
         " centralinstance now sapci01 windows2000 Server 32 Bit
           databasehost now sapdb01 windows2003 Server 32 Bit

This is not at all system copy as you are not moving database from one physical host to another physical host"
In ERP 2005 sapinst also have the entrie to install only Central instance. It is under distributed system installation. Please check.

Unicode WAS Central Instance on Windows Server 2003.

Hi
I'm trying to install the WAS (Component of Netweaver) Central Instance (MS SQL 2000 DB) on Windows Server 2003. Less than a minute into the installation, I get the following error.
Transaction begin ********************************************************
ERROR 2016-11-25 01:07:10

Can someone please help resolve it?
Appreciate all help. Thank U.
Rajendra.

Hi Mahendra,
I guess it depends wether you want to have ABAP only, or j2ee stack as well.
The J2ee stack over multiple OS (read J2EE SDK's) for CI and Dialog instances is not supported.
There is a note about it, but i do not have the number right now.

Loading a movie on html from another server

I have a question: I have a form on Flash and I want to make
the swf file a part of a HTML page.
Here is the(for me) tricky part: on Flash I use an external
php-file to send the information back to me, but the server where
the HTML page runs is an ASP.Net server. So I came up with the idea
to load the swf file from another server that runs the php-script.
But is not working.
Does anyone know if what I am doing is correct? Do I have to
write some code on flash or the HTML-page? Or do I just have to go
and learn ASP.Net?
Thanks a lot for any information.

No. Movies are not eligible for iTunes in the Cloud (the movie studios won't grant Apple the necessary permissions, reportedly). So if you want the movie on another computer, you have to copy it there yourself from your work computer. Copy the movie to some removable medium or shared location, then just drag it into the iTunes window on your laptop.
Regards.

What does it mean and how do I get it to start ?Have you started the Node Manager process?
I do not remember the HP/UX commands, but something like 'ps -ef |
grep startNodeManager' should show you the proceess (if it is
running).
If you do not see the Node Manager in the process list, try to start
it using '/BEA-home/weblogic610/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh'
(preferably in a separate terminal window).
To verify that it is listening on port 5555 (the default Node Manager
port), do a 'netstat -an | grep 5555'. It should give something like
'127.0.0.1.5555 *.* ..... LISTEN' if it is listening for connections.
Hope this helps.

Best Method to Move Partitioned Data to Another Server

Hi,
In our company we have a monthly maintenance to move one partition from many partitioned tables to another server. I want to know what is the following:
1- Best way to do this task and to move table partitions to another database on another server?
2- When I delete table partition, do I need to analyze the table or rebuild the indexes?
Appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks

2- When I delete table partition, do I need to analyze the table or rebuild the indexes?What do you mean by delete table partition? If you mean truncate or drop parition then you should use "UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES" clause in order to avoid rebuilding global indexes as shown in the below examle:
create table TAB1 ( Value number(10))
partition by range(value)
partition p1 values less than (10),
partition p2 values less than (20),
partition p3 values less than (30),
partition p4 values less than (40),
partition p5 values less than (50)
insert into tab1
select rownum
from dual connect by rownum < 50;
commit;
create index tab1_indx1 on tab1(value);
sql> select index_name, status
2 from user_indexes
3 where index_name = 'TAB1_INDX1';
INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
TAB1_INDX1                     VALID
sql> alter table tab1 drop partition p2 UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES;
Table altered.
sql> select index_name, status
2 from user_indexes
3 where index_name = 'TAB1_INDX1';
INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
TAB1_INDX1                     VALID
sql> alter table tab1 drop partition p3;
Table altered.
sql> select index_name, status
2 from user_indexes
3 where index_name = 'TAB1_INDX1';
INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
TAB1_INDX1                     UNUSABLEMohamed Houri

Relocate DB instance to another server

Hi,
I would like to hear some advise on the procedure to relocate my DB instances.
Background:
This project is to replace the hardware where the database instances of SAP Netwevare PI/XI 7.0 are running. This is a distriguted environment. The DB instances are Oracle 10.2 running on RedHat Linux x86-64. The new hardware will be running RedHat Linux x86-64. As you can see the OS is not changing. The instance name is not changing. The Application server names IS NOT changing. However, the DB server name is changing.
Here is the altrenative that I have in mind.
1. Backup source DB
2. Restore into new server and restart.
3. Point the SAP instance to the new server. Is there a note or procedure to make this change? Is is enugh with changing only the tnsnames.ora?
I guess another alternative would be to make a system copy? What would you do if you have to relocate your DB instances?
Thanks!

Hello Augusto,
if i understood you correct only the host of the database is changed. The ABAP and JAVA instances are still running on the same host as before?
If yes then this is pretty easy ... you can shutdown and copy the database with scp/rsync .. or if you have a shared storage you can just remap the disks to the new server.
As you described, that the hostname of the DB host will change you have to do 2 things
1) Change hostname of entries in tnsnames.ora (for more information about tnsnames check sapnote #562403)
2) Change the host connection entry in the secure store of the Java instance (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/de/ec/9432d189c445cdacdc7e520981b4b6/content.htm / Database Schema password should be change or not)

Must Move 10g Database To Another Server

Good morning,
Well, right in the middle of my implementation, I've learned that we must change to a different physical server for the 10 g database. Wonderful.
I have installed several patches. Will a consistent backup of the db capture those patches? After I restore to the new server, will I have to reinstall all patches?
Don't most patchsets modify the Oracle instance as well as the database?
Thanks, John

Have you tried the clone features? On DBCA, there is a clone database option. If you use Enterprise Grid Control, they have a clone database from one server to another and you can choose different instance name and different file structure. This has the additional benefits of no need to bring down the current database. Also you can try the clone.pl to clone the oracle_Home. I have not tried one with patches but I guess it will include every thing under ORACLE_HOME. It will handle most but I still have trouble with the data control setup but then I recreate everything from scratch

Move Mid-Tier onto another server

Hi all
The infrastructure (OracleHime1incl IASDB) and mid-tier (OracleHime2 portal and OracleHime3 discoverer) 10g Rel2 are installed on a windows 2003 server.
I would like to know how to move the mid-tier (Portal and Discoverer) onto another new windows 2003 server thus improving performance. The server is used solely for reporting. Portal uses "portal providers".
Or would it be better to move the infrastructure?
Is there documentation on this?
Thanks

The Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide describes how to move the Infrastructure to a new host. See:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/chginfra.htm#i1011823

How to move a database to another server

Hi - I am new to Oracle and am used to SQL Server. In SQL Server there was a DETACH and ATTACH DATABASE command that would allow you to make a copy of a database and all structures including triggers, procedures, indexes etc. Make a copy and reattach the database on the new server. I assume that the same is possible in Oracle but I can't seem to find the equivilent command(s). So how does one move a database? I take it that the SQL Server equivilent to database is in Oracle called a schema? Other than creating a sql script for each object, is there a overall process to move my application?

You could do one of the following:
1) Create a full export, create a another database with a script or DBCA, create the appropriate sized tablespaces, import to the new database.
2) If you are copying to the same OS you could shutdown the database, copy all the datafiles, logfiles, control files, etc. to the appropriate locations, rename the datafiles, control files, etc. as needed, and open the database.
3) Use RMAN to duplicate the database if it has been backed up using the RMAN utility.
4) If you already have a backup of all the datafiles, logfiles, control files, etc. from a backup you could copy those to the appropriate locations, rename the files as needed, and open the database.
I would suggest changing the database name. I can go into more detail on any of these if needed.

Move MW db to another server

What are the specific steps post Oracle Home & db move , besides ofcourse the necessary network and listener setup ?

You will need to change the xdb setup for MW http listener and ftp listener if you need different ports. You will need to setup the ssh or rsh privileges between the new MW host and the target apps hosts being upgraded.
You should also rerun the configuration on any active projects from sysadmin and from the configuration section of the project drop down.
