Multiple Production Instances in a C460 SAP Appliance?

Hello,
Is it possible to run 2 SAP HANA Production instances (ECC and BW) on the same C460 appliance with TDI storage?

We have implemented similar solutions to take advantage of a server that otherwise be redundant for the majority of the time and it does work well, I have not personally done this type of configuration on unix using OPMN but have on windows using failover clusters, I feel OPMN is a bit poor in terms of management and lacks functionality so maybe worth considering Oracle clusterware depending on the flavour of Unix.
You could also look at look at virtualisation options as an alternative.
Cheers

  • Multiple production instances - KScope follow up

    Had this posted on Network 54 and it was recommended that I post here as well.
    During one of the lunch and learn sessions at KScope I texted in a question about multiple instances in production. It seemed there was some confusion to the question so I thought expanding the question with additional details here may provoke some additional conversation on the topic.
    We are currently running a single essbase instance with active - passive clustering in production on 11.1.2.1 (considering 11.1.2.3 for next year). For example purposes lets say we have two business areas sharing the instance each with 50 applications for a total of 100 applications. Things run very smoothly most of the time, but from time to time during peak usages the single threaded nature of the security file can slow things down. My thought was to run two instances of Essbase, one for each business area, one active on server A and one active on server B. They would each have there own failover to the other server.
    Current Set-up
    Server A
    Active
    Instance 1
    100 applications
    Server B
    Passive
    Instance 1
    Proposed Setup
    Server A
    Instance 1 active - 50 applications
    Instance 2 passive
    Server B
    Instance 1 passive
    Instance 2 active - 50 applications
    I have seen that you can setup multiple instances on a server, but have also seen that it is not recomended for production. Are they considering this scenario when they do not recommend it or are there other reasons. I am fine if both instances fail to the same server as we run all applications on one server now and have plenty of memory. Also, we would have separate file systems and a separate port for the second instance (our end users do not know the port bases on their log in today so that will not be an issue). Are there any concerns with this approach, has anyone else tried it? We have successfully done this in our development region, but that does not have the usage on it that production has. It also seems a waste to have all the processors and memory sitting on server B not doing anything - we are paying for it why not use it.
    Some additional information that was requested.
    This is in addition to DR and having failover is required based on internal audit/IT standards.
    We have a NAS device and understand that is still a single point of failure and is likely a bottleneck, which is why we archive any modified databases each night along with packaging up rules and calc scripts.
    The servers are UNIX with 48 cores and 256+ Gig of Ram.
    About half or more of the databases require write back.
    Thanks Andy

  • Is it possbile to have multiple clients on our Production instance

    We have our Production system with client 101
    Our abapers want me to create another client 500 (config only - not easy to accomplish)  to be used for our Mexican users.
    I told them to create another company code for Mexico, but they do not know how to do this.
    DO I have any other options, of yes
    Pros and cons of having multiple clients in same production instance.
    I know that any independent code is going to effect all clients.
    THanks
    Joe

    Hi Jo,
    you CAN create a new client, but mostly this is not done, because the effort to maintain multiple clients is mostly higher than just different company codes. Yes, ABAPs are client indpendent and therefore valid for all clients.
    So, the argument, to "not know" how to create different company codes is not valid to me !

  • Single DB Engine and multiple DB Instances approach

    Hi Tech Arch gurus,
    Need some advice from all of you. We are currently planning to install SAP  training systems to latest versions.
    We are getting recommendations to goahead with Dedicated host for Oracle Installation where we have Single DB Engine and multiple DB Instances for all different 7 SAP Servers (ECC6, CRM7, BI/NW7.3, SOLMAN7.01, SRM7, EP/NW7.3, PI7.1).
    Certain things that need to be clarified before we go ahead with this:
    1.     How complex/simple is this approach ?
    2.     If there are some issues noticed in the future (Performance issues etc) in this landscape , how much effort will be required to migrate out a DB instance for an SAP product to another machine. We would be having both ABAP and Java stack for our systems.
    3.     We would later plan for adding some more systems into the landscape like SAP MDM, SAP CE, SAP BPC etc. If we add all these systems with a single DB engine, would there be performance issues etc. (We are operating under assumption that underlying hardware of the DB engine will be powerful enough)
    Can you please provide some expert guidance on this approach?
    Your response would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    MD

    As a consultant I never dared to do different from what SAP says in guides or notes, at least when it comes to PRD systems.
    For QA and Test Systems, discussions might be needed with the customer, depending on how important these systems are,
    and for sandboxes I already did some stuff, that will even scare some Oracle guys
    As Stefan says, the technical setup is not that complicate at all.
    But I never had to fight for a support call in a non-supported Environment, so I can't say.
    I always decided to be on the safe side.
    If you have your Oracle License directly from Oracle you might disscuss such special support issues with these guys.
    The problem is: If you get a call, and the first level support guy from SAP spots the non-supported environment, it MIGHT be possible that you need to escalate and may be pay for the support, but I suppose they will not let your system die
    May be some of the SAP moderator guys can throw a comment in on this.

  • One Oracle Application Server and multiple OC4J Instances

    While we are getting new server (for development) we have to set-up a Development and Production enviroment for our project (dont have previous OAS installation) but on the same machine.
    So, is a good option to have One OAS INstallation (Ora Home) and then create multiple OC4J instances, one for each environment (Development, QA and Production)?, is it possible? How to manage deployments between OC4J instances, simulating different contexts if they are in the same server and under the same HTTP Server? Will be there conflicts?

    Hi,
    you can do this and OracleAs will manage the different instances. The deployment can be done with Enterprise Manager in which case you select the OC4J instance first before deploying. If deploying from JDeveloper, you can specify the OC4J instance when creating the named connection

  • Multiple BW Instance question

    Getting lost wading through the plethora of information available, so any direct pointers to information that directly addresses the following would be appreciated, in addition to any direct answers of course!
    Consider a multiple BW instance, with a staging layer, and integration layer, and multiple analytic layers (one large one, and a couple smaller ones that operate at different service levels).
    If we upgrade staging to 3.5, do all the rest have to tag along (staging feeds integration and one other, integration gets data from staging and feeds all the rest).
    If we upgrade to 7.0, or whatever they are going to call it, will every system have to upgrade, or are the BW to BW connections backwardly compatable.
    Major reason for considering this architecture is the ability to have a couple target BW's at higher or lower releases/service pack levels as warranted by the specific applications using them (e.g. SEM wanting SP's faster than the uber BW can test and apply them).   However, if we have to keep all systems in synch, then this is NOT a viable option.
    Mark Marty
    EBIS Architect
    Mckesson

    This is based on some work being done by another member of the Terabyte club, and we have similar sized landscapes.
    The key concerns are, with a single instance of BW, and ~ 10M rows of raw transactions migrating into the system each night (SD - BO, DD, SO's, MM, COPA, it all adds up), it is not clear to us that BW could handle all data rationalization, transformation and dissemination tasks. We have significant legacy transactions and master data that needs to be merged with a good portion of the R/3 data.
    In our current environment, 90% of this is done outside of BW, using Datastage and a Data Provisioning Area.  Even with sending only clean, merged, ready to load to target data, our load windows are increasing, and our backup window is scary.
    This new effort is an attempt to separate key data needs so that certain things that need to be more responsive can be made available earlier.  Additionally, this landscape is going to test out and prove or disprove the ability to do this volume of ETL wholly within a BW environment, rather than leveraging on other marketplace tools and techniques.  Needless to say, this is a hot topic, internally we have a slant towards best in breed, and consultatively everyone wants it all to be the SAP suite of tools.   Hence, we will build it and see.
    Splitting Staging from Integration is not necessary (likely) from a purely technical need, however it has proven useful at another company, and we are going to explore it and determine the efficacy ourselves.

  • Multiple production order

    Hi Gurus,
    I am facing a problem that sap system generates in one sales order multiple production order in mto cases,now from table i want to find out the multiple production order against one sales order pl tellme the selelection criteria.

    Dear ,
    The best way to address this issue to check the report
    1.MD4C-Give Sales Order  , it will display all the Planned Order , Production Order etc
    2.COOIS-Order Header -Stantdar Profile -Enter Plant Code /Order Type , Sales Order Number and Execute , It will diplay all the Sales order with respected line itme .
    Please make sure that all the sales order have credit realsed (VKM3-Sales Order ) .
    4.You can also check thriough COHV/CO46 etc .
    Try and revert

  • Gneration of multiple Production Order from multi level BOM

    Hi Experts,
    My customer has multi level BOM. meaning child item also has its own BOM - 4 Level.
    FG-Pack - Make
          FG - Make
               SFG - Make
                    RM - Buy
    Their process is once they create Production Order for final Finished Good, System should also create Production order for child which it self are of make type and has own BOM defined in system.
    They wish that once the create Production order for FG-Pack, system should automatic generate production order for FG and SFG as both of these has BOM defined and are of procurement type Make.
    So first they will close the chile production order and receives qty. in ware house, they will issue this child qty. against main production order, and then completes the main production order.
    So they remains informed about the child item stock.
    My question is SAP Business One supports creation of multiple Production Order?
    BR
    Samir Gandhi

    Hi Samir Gandhi,
    There is no build-in function for this task. You need add-on or SDK for the job.
    If the sub level BOM items are phantom, you can create a big production order including all sub BOM components. That is system supported.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • Pros and Cons of Application Isolation/Multiple server instances?

    Hi. I'm setting a new server using ColdFusion Enterprise with Apache to migrate several web application from and old server with ColdFusion 7 server. I'm currently doing research regarding multiple server instances in order to have a separate server for production apps and another for development apps (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf363c31-7ff 5.html and https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/Using+Multiple+Server+Instanceshttp:/ /). In addition, I'm also doing research regarding application isolation to have separate production application in separate servers. I'm trying to identify all pros and cons for both "Application Isolation" and "Multiple Server Instances" to make a decision on whether I will proceed in applying these techniques. I have found several links that talk about some of the advantages but have not been able to find anything regarding possible disadvantages. Have anyone in this forum has used any of the techniques, and can provide more information/experiences regarding the pros and cons?

    Hi Ricardo_Lorenzo,
    Whether to go for Multiserver instances or Single server, is totally a user requirement based decison. If a user has Single website, or multiple websites (of the same nature, in terms of functionality), usually the part of same domain, then they would go for Single sever installation. One single instance will handle the requests from all the websites (if there are multiple). There would not be a clustering/failover setup within ColdFusion and can use the ColdFusion Standard or Enterprise version.
    On the other hand, if a user has multiple websites, all with different functionality and have multiple applications (may or may not) running, then they can go for Multiserver installation. Each website can be configured with individual instances. Clustering can be done within ColdFusion if needed. One would need an Enterprise license of ColdFusion for the same.
    Hope this helps.

    Anit Kumar

  • Can we get Multiple production versions in APO

    Hi,
    Is there  a way to get multiple production versions into APO, as the info record( we are using) is what drive the creation of the PDS in APO from ECC
    Is there a way to find out how we can have multiple production versions in APO.
    Thanks
    Maddy

    Maddy,
    Standard functionality in APO is to support multiple production versions.
    Production Versions are a standard object in ECC.  They consist of a combination of a Bill of Materials, a Routing, and a few other bits of data.  For a given material/plant combination in ECC, there can be many Production Versions.
    Production Version - Repetitive Manufacturing (PP-REM) - SAP Library
    These Production Versions are integrated in standard CIF via either Production Process Model or Production Data Structure.
    Integration of Production Process Models - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library
    Integration of Production Data Structures Generated from R/3 Mas - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library

  • Multiple Production Versions in Subcontracting Inforecord

    Hi Gurus - I have a question on how to assign multiple production versions in Sub-contracting Inforecord?
    I heard this functionality is available in ECC 6.0 is that true? If so how can I assign multiple production versions? What happens after we CIF across to APO? Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Murali.

    Murali - Its possible to use multiple PV in sub contracting.
    Settings in ERP :
    1. In CFC9 activate the - Transfer multiple selection of PDS indicator. When you select this indicator, the system allows you to select several productions versions in the integration model; it also creates a Production Process Model (PPM) or Production Data Structure (PDS) for each production version in SAP SCM
    2. Assign the PV's to the subcontracting info record through -  Logistics  - Central Functions  - Supply Chain Planning Interface - Core Interface - Advanced Planner and Optimizer - Environment  - Data Transfer  -Assign Multiple Production Versions
    3. When you select the integration model parameters for PDS, you have selected PP/DS Subcontracting as the PDS Type value. Similarly, for PPM, you have selected Subcontracting PPM as the Type of PPM value.
    Subcontracting with multiple production versions is supported. However, the integration with an SAP ERP system requires at least SAP ERP 2005 with Enhancement Pack 03.

  • JNDI Lookup for multiple server instances with multiple cluster nodes

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with retreiving log files for multiple server instances with multiple cluster nodes. The system is Netweaver 7.01.
    There are 3 server instances all instances with 3 cluster nodes.
    There are EJB session beans deployed on them to retreive the log information for each server node.

    Anybody knows what should be changed to handle more cluster nodes?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the response.
    I was afraid that it would be something like that although
    was hoping for
    something closer to the application pools we use with IIS to
    isolate sites
    and limit the impact one badly behaving one can have on
    another.

  • Delete Multiple products

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    Can anyone suggest how can i delete multiple products in one go.
    As i had to delete around 10000 products out of 30000 from the dtabase of SAP CRM.
    The report available in CRM is either to delete the single product or the multiple product.
    As i have not much idea of coding, therefore i'm unable to delete the multiple products in one go.
    Can anyone please suggest how can i do this deletion.
