Need BR*Tools Studio assistance

Hi,
I have installed BR*Tools Studio for playing in "Multi-Instance Server Mode" on my Windows XP PC. I have installed the software under the path "C:\Programme\SAP BRTools Studio 7-10". The JDK is 1_4_2_18 and the Oracle Containers for J2EE is version 9.0.4. I have read note 1224432 and the supplied manual. Before starting the installation I have created a keystore file on the PC with keytool -genkey The keystore file .keystore was created in my home directory.
The installation itself was very easy. The https port is the standard 443. After the installation I have unzipped the archive oc4j_extended.zip to the following sudirectory:
C:\Programme\SAP BRTools Studio 7-10\web-app-server\oc4j
Thereafter I have tried to start the BR*Tools Studio Server in a DOS Window:
cd C:\Programme\SAP BRTools Studio 7-10
server.cmd
I get the following message:
08/11/07 07:28:49 Invalid jsp taglib location: C:\Programme\SAP BRTools Studio 7
-10\config\..\jsp\lib\taglib does not exist or is not a directory
08/11/07 07:28:50 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0)
initialized
Ideas what`s wrong?
Joe

Hi Joe,
I got the same error when starting server.cmd but it works anyway so it is not so critical.
I also updated to JDK version 1.5 and it works much better now. I changed the https to http as
described in Stefan's blog [SAP] First experience with SAP BR*Tools Studio for Oracle .
For testing purposes it is much easier.
I'm very disappointed to performance and usage of BR*tools Studio. I have it installed on server and
tried to increase java memory but still quite slow.

BR*Tools Studio assistance / feedback

Hello All,
Those of you who are trying out / playing with the new SAP DBA tool (BR*Tools Studio), please place your experience in the forum.
I have installed BR*Tools Studio on a development instance in a dedicated server mode and trying to get hang of it. The product looks good but it is taking a while to get used to its functionality. The documentation provided is just basic to get started.
Issues I have are:
1. 500 Internal Server Error - java.lang.NullPointerException (logged frequently) - It has disappeared, not crashed for a while now, It could be related to memory resources on the server. relogging to it continues from the point it failed.
2. I have configured the instance to run as database user SYSTEM, but when I goto BR*Toos Wizard tab -> Database -> Tablespace, Datafiles, Control Files, Redolog Files. I am not able to view any of them. User SYSTEM has DBA and SAPDBA assigned.
All assistance will be useful.
TIA,
Cheers,

Nisch,
please let me take the opportunity and address the two points you mentioned:
It is indeed common for BR*Tools Studio to occasionally hit a 500 Internal Server Error: java.lang.NullPointerException. Up to now, we were not able to determine the root cause of this issue, yet we feel that it must have to do with paging and asynchronous memory calls, as the exception often shows up after longer idle periods. In particular, it does not reproduce, and cannot be addressed properly by the Studio. A side effect of the exception is that, while you need to close the browser window, the client is not proprely logged off from the Studio, so that it is still visible in the client overview of the server administration, until the next Studio server restart. I hope that we can still find a solution for this issue, but it has been around for a long time yet also in development.
It is also correct that there is a little design flaw when adding an instance to BR*Tools Studio. When you add an instance, the Studio will synchronize with the instance dictionary not before the next full sync point in time, so that you cannot see the instance tablespaces, data files etc. immediately. Depending on the settings, this might take up to 20 minutes. A work-around, at least for a dedicated server, is to restart the Studio server, as a full sync gets carried out immediately after server restart. This is also a point we will try to address in one of the upcoming patches.
I, too, would like to propose to keep this thread open to share common experience with the Studio. This will give you the chance to provide feedback, and I will try to keep on and share some insight into the Studio structure and behavior. Still, please post individual, hard installation or runtime issues in separate posts or open an OSS support call. — Thanks,
Best Regards,
Markus

Adding instances to a dedicated installation of BR*TOOLS Studio 7.1

Hi all,
I created a dedicated installation of BRTOOLS Studio 7.1 on one of my systems. It sees the local Oracle instance fine and is working. The instructions said I CAN add additional remote instances (I know about the additional load, and it is not an issue for me)
My problem is that the remote instances will not connect even after giving the system time to sync (gave it a day)
I am creating the new instance and entering the following information.
I am running AIX 5.3L and Oracle 10g in my landscape.
name: SID
(Remote) shell: sh -c
Administrator User
Name: "my user"
Role: "BR*Tools Studio Administrator"
Password: xxxxxxxx
Database User Name: oraSID
password: xxxxxxxx
BR*Tools Default Profile: initSID.sap
The instance creates successfully but then doesn't connect. I'm not sure whether this is due to me entering an incorrect value, or whether the documentation was incorrect and I need to completely reinstall Studio as a "multi-instance server" instead of a "dedicated server".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

No answer. Will repost later.

Where to download BR*tools Studio 7.10?

Hello experts,
I am trying to download and install BR*Tool Studio 7.1 for our Oracle databases in our SAP environment but I cannot find the download anywhere. Please someone point me to the download link. Do I need to have license to run this software?
Thank you. I appreciate your help

Hi Nguyen,
all SCN's downloads were migrated to sap.store.com.
However BR tools seems are not available on the store.
You may refer to following page with list of all the available downloads and mapping from old SCN downloads:
http://sdnweb.sdn.sap.com/sapbackoffice/public/SAPStoreSolutions.aspx
I think you shall be able to download it from SMP. I found following SAP Note describing how to download it:
12741 - Current versions of BR*Tools

How to connect BR*TOOLS STUDIO to oracle on windows server

HI ,
We have some oracle databases on AIX and few on windows 2003 servers.
BR*TOOLS studio connects fine to AIX systems but How to connect it to
windows servers.
I tried to use free utility "psexec". but then studio log shows following error.
ERROR 2008/12/02 12:21:13 [Tools] Instance SLB reports
exception while running job Control Files: CreateProcess: psexec
vmsld2 -u slbadm -p ba5al1te brspace -confirm force -language E -
user / -function dbshow -class cfinfo -file all_cf error=2
However if I execute "psexec
vmsld2 -u slbadm -p ba5al1te brspace -
confirm force -language E -user / -function dbshow -class dbstate"
remotely from dbstudio server at command line, it works fine.
So, Is DB*TOOLS STUDIO only for UNIX systems or can it be used for
WINDOWS also ? IF yes then How ??

Hai,
Have you followed the below mentioned steps:
In your BR*Tools Studio home directory, call:
In UNIX
csh server.sh
In Windows
server.cmd
This script starts a web application server based on Oracle Containers for Java
EE (OC4J), which serves as the runtime platform for the web application of
BR*Tools Studio server.
You need to run this command whenever you want to start the server for
BR*Tools Studio in future.
2. Log on to BR*Tools Studio server through a web browser from any client
using the following URL:
https://<host>:<port>/studio
Note
(C) SAP AG September 2008 Page 11
Once BR*Tools Studio server is available, a client logon window appears.
Make sure that you have enabled pop-ups for this site so that the logon
window is visible.
You need to run this command whenever you want to start a client session
with BR*Tools Studio.
The client logon window provides you with a list of all instances currently
maintained for administration with BR*Tools Studio. The only instance
available directly after installation is the Server instance, with which you can
maintain the server landscape.
As far as I know there are some unresolved bugs still existing in BR tools studio which is under process.
Since you are able to open the studio with AIX you should be able to open in Windows as well.
Have you checked your Keystore file.

Yoganand.V

You can enable tracing at multiple levels using the DBMS_MONITOR package. The following link shows how to enable session tracing: [Application Tracing Tools|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/sqltrace.htm#CHDFCGAE]
You can then use a tool like TKPROF or TRCSESS to aggregate the trace data into more readable files for analysis.

Hi,
To avoid this error, Just install JDK 6.0 and OC4J 9.0.4.1.0
Try accessing thru web.
If you get an error on accessing javac.exe file, then do the following changes...
go to the home directory of brtools studio, --> config ---> Edit the file server.xml
add this line as per below, save and then try to access thru web.
<global-application name="global" path="application.xml"/>
    *<java-compiler name="javac" bindir="<JAVA_HOME>\jdk1.6.0\bin"/>     *
    <global-web-app-config path="global-web-application.xml"/>
This should solve your problem.
Let me know if you have any issue.
