Oracle RAC on two different configuration systems

Can we install Oracle RAC (Standard Edition) on severs having different configuration -
1. Server 1 - IBM x3850 - 2 processors occupied, 128 GB RAM, windows server 2008 R2 64 bit
2. Server 2 - IBM 3650 - 2 processors, 64 GB RAM, windows server 2008 R2 64 bit
Thanks & Regards

Dear Billy
The storage will be on IBM SAN with fibre channel connectivity for both the servers.
The node A will be only for production and Node B for non production. Pl suggest your recommendations.So, you will configure node1 for database1(instance1) and node2 for database2(instance1)? So much for fail-over... For your proposed configuration, why waste the extra RAC license if you are only going to have the prod db running on a single node? Also Windows???? And you are paying for Windows SERVER licenses as well??? Why? Linux (even Oracle Enterprise Linux) is free and the support cost are far less than for Windows. It is slow and is a nightmare to manage. Learn Linux or AIX or something. I don't do Windows and I certainly would never deploy RAC on Windows. (My deployment of RAC clusters now stands > 75 clusters with the largest at 250TB and NONE of them on Windows).
This is more like RAC-One than RAC. I have a problem using a single RAC cluster to support both my production and non-production work. It also negates the primary reason to use RAC - high availability. In your proposed solution, if your production db goes down on node1(instance1) your application is dead. In RAC, when the middle-tier attempts to reconnect, it would simple connect to a surviving node. You will not have that feature in your proposed configuration.
I also would object to the notion of having production database in the same set of DiskGroups (ASM) or file systems as my non-production data. There are too many times where I have seen a someone execute a process that brought the entire system down due to high I/O - now, if you have this configuration, it is conceivable that your non-prod I/O could affect your production (SAN switch overload, Storage array overload etc...). And all of this does not include the "oops-factor". That's what happens when you thought you were deleting data files for your non-prod database that you want to restore and "accidently" delete production data files.
You asked for suggestions --
1) buy more hardware
2) have 1 standalone for non-prod
3) have 2 nodes for RAC - deploy production only here.

'Howto' merge (consolidate) two different BW-Systems in one?

Hi,
actual we have two different BW System (BW-FI/CO and BW-CRM - both Version 3.5) which are installed on an own systems (historic grown).
Now we want reduce our administration and hardware costs and our intention is to merge (consolidate) our two BW-Systems in one - using standard SAP transport method.
Does anyone have any experience with merge of two and more BW Systems in one?
Does anyone have a 'Howto Paper' about this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Ismet

Hi Arun,
thx a lot for your quick answer. My question was more 'merge/consolidate' of two BW-Systems as a 'System Copy'. I am trying to give you more information about our procedure:
- we have two different BW-Systems - BW-System A and BW-System B
- both BW-System have same Version and Support Package
- we want to overtake ALL BW-Objects (InfoProvider, InfoObjects, Variables, etc......) from System B into System A
- for this procedure we want use STMS (SAP Standard)
- in second step we plan to transfer physical data from System B in to System A with Data Mart procedure (generate Export-Datsource in System B)
Do you have (or anybody) any experience about this procedure?
Thanks a lot and Best Regards.

Data copy from infocube to infocube in two different BW systems

Dear All,
If i have a scenario like i have an infocube for sales in two different bw systems, and if i want to send the data from one infocube to another infocube what would be the strategy we have to follow. Is it that i need to send it as a flat file or is there any other mechanism with which i can send the data into the other infocube.
Yours answers would be rewarded.
Regards
Vijay

hi Vijay,
no, you have no need to send it as flat file if you have these 2 bw connected,
you can use datamart scenario, where one bw act as source system for the other bw, we have such discussion several times, you can check the steps
Loading data from cube1 to cube2
Loading data from one cube to another cube.
hope this helps.

Differentiating Master Data from two different source systems

Friends,
i have used standard InfoObjects that provide master data for two InfoCubes which take data from two different source systems. Now the some of the master data is identical in both the source systems (example: 10 stands for "Industrial" in one whereas 10 stands for "Agricultural" in the other). What do i do so that the system(BW) differentiates the two.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Mike

I tried to include the 0SOURSYSTEM in the compounding of this InfoObject (for master data) but it gives me a list of other objects that use this InfoObject as a reference characteristic and also says that this InfoObject is used in a ODS and data needs to be emptied in the ODS before activating this InfoObject. Please let me know if there is any way out of it.
Thanks
Mike

How to split one monitor into two, differently configured desktops

Hello,
I have a 27" iMac. I would like to split the screen into two differently configured desktops or monitors. Apps like TwoUp or Divy don't exactly do this. I'll explain it with an example:
Suppose I'm working on a document and I need to open many folders to retrieve files. One common problem is that opened folders overlap each other and sometimes they overlap with the document I'm working on, or they go underneath the document. I would like to split the screen vertically in, say, two virtual, independent desktops/monitors, like this:
- one window/space on one side (say, on the left) of the screen would contain the document from top to bottom, with no dock bar on the bottom
- the other window/space (right) would behave as a regular, full desktop, with the entire dock on the bottom
In this way, if I need to navigate to find a file to use in the document, I would move the cursor to the right. The Finder would work only in this window/space, thus windows or other applications would never overlap or clutter the left side of the screen. Drag-and-drop from right to left should be possible.
One way to imagine it is as if the 16x9 monitor were comprised by two vertical, 8x9 independent monitors side by side, each with its own configuration.
Is this possible? Can anyone recommend an application or type of setup?
Thank you,
-celso

Looking for something like this?
You can tell Display Maid to save the positions of your open windows across many apps and later restore those positions when things become a mess. With Display Maid you don’t have to restore windows one at a time, or even one app at a time. Display Maid restores all saved window positions across all apps with one command. It will also restore window positions automatically when it detects a workspace change.

Can UWL are simontanously configure for two different sap systems ? How ?

Hi,
I am new in portal. Can any one tell me how to configure UWL . We have r/3 system as well as crm system. i want to show both UWL for both the system on one page.
Please give ans in steps by steps.
Please suggest me steps for that.
Regards,
Gurprit Bhatia
Edited by: GURPRIT BHATIA on Dec 26, 2007 1:34 PM

Hi GURPRIT,
It is possible to display item from two different systems.
All you need to do is create separate webflow connectors for the systems for which you required to configure the UWL and the systems must be available in the SLD.
after creating the connectors register both of them and you can start receiving workitems from both the systems.
reward if useful.

ECC connecting to two different PI systems for proxy

Hi All,
We currently have a PI 7.1 system to which many client proxies are configured in the SAP ECC system.
Now that we have installed a new PI 7.3 system we would like to make all new integrations in PI 7.3. Note that the ECC system would remain the same.
(The idea is to migrate interfaces from PI 7.1 to PI 7.3 in a future date)
In the same ECC system we need to configure client proxies to the newly installed PI 7.3.
In SXMB_ADM we can only define one integration server for ECC system. Hence if we want to configure proxy to another PI system, we need to overwrite it.
Since our current ECC system is 6.0, the workaround given by SAP through transaction SAOMANAGER for ECC 7.0 systemsdoes not apply.
Kindly mention the alternative solutions/approaches available to configure ECC proxies to two separate PI systems.
Thanks,
John

Numbers of Oracle DB usage on different operating systems

Hi all,
I am looking for numbers that breakdown in what proportion Oracle DB is used in different operating systems, specifically the percentage of use in each group of operating systems.
- Windows
- OpenVMS
- Linux
- Unixes.
- Others
Could someone provide some numbers or a link to where I could get the information?
I am especially interested in windows and OpenVMS...
Best wishes to all
Andre

Hi Andy,
I'm seeing lot of companies prefer Unix(Solaris, HP, Linux) as a production. My experience working with 3 big clients like Cingular (USA), Orange (UK) & SKY(UK) they have many solaris oracle and few HP oracle (Orange).

Plz suggest How configure oracle R12 with RAC using both system .If you want to configure RAC, then you must have the same OS installed on all RAC nodes -- See (RAC: Frequently Asked Questions [ID 220970.1], Does Oracle Clusterware or Oracle Real Application Clusters support heterogeneous platforms?) for details.
Once you have the same OS, please refer to:

Thanks,
HusseinHi Hussein,
For Rac I am using both same OS (linux 4) for both nodes .
Plz suggest its possible to install two nodes on different machine(diiferent virtual machine on different system ) .Can communicate both machine without any problem if its possible plz provide links.

How to use Stock Category Group for two different configuration.

Hi all,
I want to use the stock category group to do this scenario:
I have two process using the same location, the process A wants to consider Stock cat. Grp. 'ZSW' (SAPAPO/LOC3) so it will consider Stock using CC, CF and CE. The process B wants to consider Stock Cat. Grp. 'ZST' to consider only CC.
My doubt:
How can I do that setup to make different things according the process? I tried to do something in Planning Area (SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN) but doesnu2019t work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
-Ralph Veiga

Hi Ralph Veiga,
Indeed the stock category group is define at location level...
I think your answer involves macros more than PA settings.
First I will suggest to split the stock key figure into 2: one for CC, one for the other.
For the CC, use the standard (cetegory group with CC only on the location master)
Now you need to populate the second key figure with CF and CE.
You should be able to built a macro using function PHYSICAL_STOCK() to get what you want.
For sure yuo first need a way to check if you want or not the CF and CE. Here implement your own logic for exemple base on your product characteristics with either MAT(), MAT_C(), MAT_EXTRA(), MATLOC_C()...
Else you can use a Z function in the macro to collect this data, but it involves ABAP coding.
PS: you don't actually need to split the key figure into to, but I think it helps with visibility...

Julien

How to install two different operating systems?

Hi Guys,
In my macbook, I was using Server 2003, installed through Bootcamp. For some reason I urgently needed to install Windows XP on another partition i.e, I needed two operating systems natively without being used VMware.
Could you please post how could I succeed this through Bootcamp or any other third party software?
I really appreciate for your fast response.
Reg,
Sri.

Other possible setups:
run OS X from external
- there are even ExpressCard eSATA - and it may be possible with some to install later versions of Windows 2008 or 7.
Shrinking Windows partition (backup wtih WinClone or something) will interfere to some extent with the Apple OS Switcher but does work; then install in there.
Using a PC to run and manage Windows - after using my Mac for almost 3 yrs - is so much easier, and flexible, even though the Mac Pro can have as many Windows partitions as you want on multiple drives (internal) and partitions.
I know you can install XP after Vista or 7 is installed w/o editing the boot.ini or using EasyBCD to 'fix' Windows boot manager.

Home networking with two different Operational Systems

I have Internet Fios and am using now two computers wirelessly. One is PC and the other one is Mac. If I create a network would it stop me from losing my connection? If so, how to? At Verizon website, under network, the solutions refer only to Windows OS. I appreciate any help,
Sergio

What are you trying to accomplish. When you connect your computer to the router whether its wired or wireless you are on a network. What do you mean "create a network".
I have all sorts of devices on my network (PCs, smart phones, TVs, Blue Ray Players, Apple Devices etc.) and all access the internet or other devices on my network without issue.

HP 932C PRINTER DOES NOT WORK OVER A NETWORK WITH TWO DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS.

I have a 932c HP printer connected via USB to a Windows XP desktop computer (Dell E520), which is part of a home network.
I also have an HP Pavilion dv5 notebook, running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, connected to the same network. This notebook can find the printer over the network. However, when I try to capture the 932c printer, the following dialog box appears:
"The server for the `hp deskjet 930c series` printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipmente manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
When I click OK, another dialog box appears:
"The file `*.INF`on (Unknown) is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."
However, I can't find any workable *.inf file in the HP notebook Hard drive (both partitions).
I have already tried to download the driver from the HP website, but it says that Windows Vista already has the driver for such printer! Well, now I'm stucked!
I'd like to point out that the printer works fine if I plug it directly to the HP notebook's USB port. But I want to operate the printer via the home network, keeping it hooked to the Windows XP desktop computer.
How to solve this problem? Thanks.

This is the HP notebook forums. I would recommend posting this in the printer forums for better coverage.

Two different configurations.

Hi! At home my airport express connects directly to the DSL modem via PPPoE. All three computers on the Airport wireless network have good connections and can sign into banking sites, my credit cards-- any password protected places. No problem.
At my OFFICE. I have the DSL modem plugged directly into my iMac. I turn airport ON and in the preferences pane, I opt to share the ethernet connection with my ibook. iMac can access password protected sites. iBook cannot. Any ideas? The OFFICE network is set up on a 128-WEP encryption. Can my old G-3 iBook not handle that? It seems to work just fine on the HOME network.
Any responses would be most appreciated. Dan

I am guessing that you have the firewall enabled on the iMac at work. If so, you need to do one of the following:
disable the firewall
open the appropriate ports in the firewall
use Flying Buttress to open the appropriate ports on the firewall
