Hi,

Low Network Utilization in Remote Disk Backup via SAP FTP

Hi gurus,
I'm running whole online backup + redo log to backup my SAP server to backup server via SAPFTP (remote disk backup).
I'm using 100Mbps network connection between the two servers, with SAP server configured to 'maximize data throughput for network application'.
When I copy data from SAP Server to backup server manually, the speed is OK (around 98% network utilization).
But when I use put command in program RSFTP002 (SAPFTP) for the same file, the network utilization is just around 10%.
I use Windows Server 2003 x64 for SAP Server, and Windows Server 2008 x64 for Backup Server.
Each has adequate RAM, 8GB for SAP Server and 4GB for Backup Server.
Is this technical problem or is it because backup is considered background process, thus lowering its speed?
Help will be very much appreciated.

go read http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/0d/d311324a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
it's old but should help you nonetheless.
I would not use SAPFTP as you found out, it is slow.
use DD instead which is much faster.

SCCM 2012 R2 SQL Database Upgrade Fails : Setup cannot upgrade the ConfigMgr database. Contact your SQL administrator.

Hi Friends,
We have planned to upgrade our SCCM 2012 SP1 infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 so we have setup test environment to test SQL database upgrade before doing same in production.
But while testing SQL database upgrade on test machine, it is getting failed with below error.
ConfigMgrSetupWizard.log
ConfigMgrSetupWizard Verbose: 1 : Scripted setup failure handling callback called. Failure: 29.
ConfigMgrSetupWizard Verbose: 1 : Received error [Setup cannot upgrade the ConfigMgr database. Contact your SQL administrator.] from native code.
ConfigMgrSetup.log
ERROR: SQL Server error: [23000][2627][Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'ContentDistribution_PK'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.ContentDistribution'. The duplicate key value is (921). :

Failed to create process of SetupWpf.exe.
Can anyone please help to get this resolved.
Thanks.

We found out that there were duplicate entries in the PkgStatus_G and the PkgServers_G tables in the SCCM DB. We identified them, deleted them , and then we were able to run the /TESTDBUPGRADE command and it went through fine. We performed
all of this on a COPY of the PROD DB and then moved the changes in PROD. Hope this helps someone.

Bill thanks for that,
this is actually an SQL express edition and not a full SQL server.
Environment:
Databases will be detached, copied to from E:\SQL\MSSQL\Data\ to a shared location and then mount black database foles .MDF
and .LDF files to the SQL express and then restart the kiwi syslog applications.
why not powershell? well I've inherited this and machine is a 2003 server and we do not install PS on all machines except
if they are needed.
SQLServer Express comes with tools to backup the database. Post is SQLServer forum to learn how to set up and use SQLExpress tools.
SQLExpress has support in PowerShell for managing the server.
Here si on emethod posted by Microsoft that is useful. Methods using the scheduler and other tools are available.

How to find sql server backup was taken under compression mode

Hello,
How to find SQL server backup was taken under compression mode ? I have disabled the Compress Mode backup setting but I want to make sure the backup is taken without compression.
Is there a script for that?
Thanks
JK

I have disabled the Compress Mode backup
That is only a default setting, in backup command you can always overwrite it to a different value.

Problem: VSS error with 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' installed

When 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' is installed, shadow copies cannot be enable and backups fail. When attempting to enable shadow copies, we get a "volsnap" error: "The shadow copies of volume X were aborted because
of a failed free space computation". After uninstalling the "Tool", VSS works. Reinstalling "Tool" causes the problem to return.
While the error suggests a space issue, there is plenty of space on the server's two volumes. Additionally, another 100GB volume was added and VSS storage was allocated to it; still received the error.
Issue seems to point to 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool'.
Environment: Hyper-V guest: "Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard" with "SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard". Using "Azure Storage" for SQL backups.
Suggestions?

Hello,
Yes, we have a confirmed interference between the tool and the VSS Framework. This was identified very recently and is under investigation by the product group. Since the issue is within the filter driver shipped by the tool, that unfortunately means that
you currently need to choose between the tool and a working VSS Framework. If the latter is more important, then uninstall the tool (that will require a restart).
We apolologize for the inconvenience. I'm going to try to get the home page of the tool updated to avoid other situations like yours. Hopefully we should see a new version of the tool soon.
As a side note, recent versions of SQL Server can directly use Azure Storage as backup target, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.110).aspx.

Possible to view MS SQL Server Log in SAP GUI?

Hi,
I am wondering if I can view the SQL Server log in SAP GUI using a transaction code.
I don't readily see how to do this with the TEs. It would be helpful to see things like: who has tried to log into the SQL Server via a Database Management tool : agnostic to SAP.: is SQL Server Management Studio or DBArtisan or other services.
thanks
Chris

Hi chris
Yes,you can view the Sql server log in transaction code ST04 & DBA Cockpit in SAPGUI.

When i try to install Ms SQL server 2000 for SAP it is giving me a message , "unable to validate product key"

BI Administrator for several SAP BI systems within SAP Portal

Hi!
I have activated BI Administrator function in SAP BI system and in SAP Solution Manager system as well.
I have connected both systems to SAP Portal as SAP_BW systems.
Per default I can see in SAP EP --> BI Administrator only the SAP BI system entry.
I have the following problem:
When I assign system alias "SAP_BW" in Portal for one of the systems I can see this system in drop down list on BI Administrator. BUT I can assign this system alias only for one system.
Is there a work around to solve my problem?
How can I see the SAP Solution Manager systen in drop down list within SAP EP --> BI Administrator?
Thank you very much!

Jürgen

Sybase SQL Anywhere 12 and SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16

Hello,
Is there a difference between Sybase SQL Anywhere 12 and SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16?
If there is, could you please list out the general information. i.e. is v12 (i.e. pre SAP purchase of Sybase) just older than v16 (i.e. post SAP purchase of Sybase) ?
I know that Hyland's OnBase 14 supports both of these versions. Just having a difficult time trying to find information about Sybase SQLA v12 - if it is even still available for purchase, etc.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Christian Jones

SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 is the next major version of SQL Anywhere after SQL Anywhere 12.
The following documentation link DocCommentXchange will include information about the changes made for v16. For information specific to v12, see DocCommentXchange which has links for both v12.0.0 and v12.0.1 documentation as I suspect that most of the marketing materials would be focused on v16.
Both v12 and v16 are available for sale. Here is a link SAP SQL Anywhere v16.0 | SAP Online Store
where you will purchase v12 and v16 software (look at the sidebar for the v12 links).
