OS/DB migration : Distribution Monitor nodes

Hi All,
We are in the process of migrating our ECC 6.0 environmnet from Solaris + DB2  to  AIX +DB2.
We are using Linix Application server as our Distribution Monitor nodes.  In this run we did not get the result as per our expectation. Could please share your experinece or recomendation to use third OS (in our case Linux) for Distribution Monitor Node. Is there any recomendation or best practice for Distribution Monitor nodes -- whether we should use same OS as Source system or Traget  OS or we can use any Application Server ( OS).
Regards,
Dipam Phukan

Best Approach  migrate your ecc 6.0  from solarisDB2 to AIXDB2
if you use migmon or Distubution method  its take time .  For DB2  migration we can go backup/restore method.
If you are system running on DB2 .  you can move any unix to any unix with out using migtaion tools . you can use only backup restore mehtod.
You can use redirected restore to create a Heterogeneous system copy between 2 systems running on different platforms.

Compare to orace , DB2 lot of benefits . if  same case required to move with oracle mean you need  to migration  but DB2 you can backup restore method.
Procedure:
1. use Redirect resore mehtod
2. source system preparation .
run redirect restoer script  in source sytem
3. Target system preparation
install  fresh system  and resore the database from backup using redirect restore

  • Regarding Distribution Monitor for export/import

    Hi,
    We are planning to migrate the 1.2TB of database from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB7.7 . We are currently testing the database migration on test system for 1.2TB of data. First we tried with just simple export/import i.e. without distribution monitor we were able to export the database in 16hrs but import was running for more than 88hrs so we aborted the import process. And later we found that we can use distribution monitor and distribute the export/import load on multiple systems so that import will get complete within resonable time. We used 2 application server for export /import but export completed within 14hrs but here again import was running more than 80hrs so we aborted the import process. We also done table splitting for big tables but no luck. And 8 parallel process was running on each servers i.e. one CI and 2 App servers. We followed the document DistributionMonitorUserGuide from SAP. I observerd that  on central system CPU and Memory was utilizing above 94%. But on 2 application server which we added on that servers the  CPU and Memory utilization was very low i.e. 10%. Please find the system configuration as below,
    Central Instance - 8CPU (550Mhz) 32GB RAM
    App Server1 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
    App Server2 - 8CPU (550Mhz) 16GB RAM
    And also when i used top unix command on APP servers i was able to see only one R3load process to be in run state and all other 7 R3load  process was in sleep state. But on central instance all 8 R3load process was in run state. I think as on APP servers all the 8 R3load process was not running add a time that could be the reason for very slow import.
    Please can someone let me know how to improve the import time. And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
    Thanks,

    R3load connects directly to the database and loads the data. The quesiton is here: how is your database configured (in sense of caches and memory)?
    > And also if someone has done the database migration from Oracle 10.2g to MaxDB if they can tell how they had done the database migration will be helpful. And also if any specific document availble for database migration from Oracle to MaxDB will be helpful.
    There are no such documents available since the process of migration to another database is called "heterogeneous system copy". This process requires a certified migration consultant ot be on-site to do/assist the migraiton. Those consultants are trained specially for certain databases and know tips and tricks how to improve the migration time.

  • Separate Distribution Monitor Export and Import Processes on Multiple Machines

    Hi,
    Would you kindly let me know whether it is possible (means officially supported way) to run Distribution Monitor Export and Import processes on different machines?
    As per SAP note 0001595840 "Using DISTMON and MIGMON on source and target systems", it says as below.
    > 1. DISTMON expects the export and import to be carried out on the same server
    I think it means that export and import processes for the same tables must be run on the same machine, is it correct? If yes, Export on the machine A, and then Import those exported data on the other machine B is not the officially supported way... (However, I know it is technically possible.)
    Kind regards,
    Yutaka

    Hi Yutaka,
    Point no. 2 & 3 clarify the confusion. However let me explain it briefly:
    Distribution Monitor is used basically in case of migration of large SAP systems (database). It provides the feature to increase parallelism of export and import, distributing the process across available systems.
    You have to prepare the system for using DistMon. A common directory needs to be created as"commDir" and in case you use multiple systems for executing more number of processes of export and import then that "commDir" should be shared across all those systems.  And this is what the Point no.1 in KBA 1595840 mentions about. Distribution Monitor will run both the export and import process from the machine which is prepared for using DistMon and DistMon itself will control the other processes i.e. MigMon. No need to start separate MigMon.
    For example: You are performing a migration of SAP system based on OS:AIX and DB:DB2 to  OS: HP-UX and DB: Oracle. You need to perform the export using DistMon and you are having 4 Windows servers which can be used for parallel export/import. Once you have prepared the system for DistMon which hosts the "commDir" you'll have to provide the information of involved host machines in the "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file. Now when DistMon is executed it will distribute the export and import process across the systems which were defined in "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file automatically.

  • Distribution Monitor for 2 different servers from 2 different sites

    Hello all,
    We are trying to use Distribution Monitor during a parallel Unicode Conversion on a SAP 4.7 system.
    The source system and target system are 2 different servers located on 2 different sites (more than 500Kms distant).
    Questions:
    1. Can we use Distribution Monitor with 1 source server dedicated for the Export and 1 target server dedicated for the import of a package?
    2. If it is not possible, what are the constraints in fact?
    3. Can we have a scenario where Distribution Monitor is used on the source system in order to use the parallelism benefit and Migration Monitor used on the target system?
    Thanks for your help & feedback,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    1. Can we use Distribution Monitor with 1 source server dedicated for the Export and 1 target server dedicated for the import of a package? The Answer is No
    In order to use Distribution monitor, u need minimum two application servers on source systems  and correspondingly atleast minimum two application servers on target system 
    For example let us say Application server A  and Application server B on sources systems and Application Server C and Application server D on target ytem
    Then configure Distribution monitor properties to include two application servers as source systems and two application servers as target systems.  When u exeute distribution monitor preparation, first it scan database servers in source system nd target system  and then scan CI servers in source and target system. Then Packages will be distributed in two application servers A and B
    Run Export from Application server A  for first fifty packages  , at the same time Run import  these first fifty packages in Application Server C
    Run Export from Application Server B  for other remining packages and at the same time , run import the remaining packages into Application Server D.
    (that is one to one correspondence)
    2. If it is not possible, what are the constraints in fact? - There is no constraints. However there is lots of time consuming during Distribution monitor preparation and checking.
    3. Can we have a scenario where Distribution Monitor is used on the source system in order to use the parallelism benefit and Migration Monitor used on the target system? - The Answer is No.
    You cannot mix distribution monitor tool for source system and Migration tool used on target system.
    You have to use any one tool depending on the size of database used.
    if your database size used is very very large then  recommend to use distribution monitor where u in sou can have multiple R3load jobs in each application server. Say Application server A use 20 R3load jobs and Application server B use 15 r3load jobs).
    Thanks

  • ISE admin , PSN and monitoring node fail-over and fall back scenario

    Hi Experts,
    I have question about ISE failover .
    I have two ISE appliaces in two different location . I am trying to understand the fail-over scenario and fall-back scenario
    I have gone through document as well however still not clear.
    my Primary ISE server would have primary admin role , primary monitoring node and secondary ISE would have secondary admin and secondary monitoring role .
    In case of primary ISE appliance failure , I will have to login into secondary ISE node and make admin role as primary but how about if primary ISE comes back ? what would be scenario ?
    during the primary failure will there any impact with users for authentication ? as far as PSN is available from secondary , it should work ...right ?
    and what is the actual method to promote the secondary ISE admin node to primary ? do i have to even manually make monitoring node role changes ?
    will i have to reboot the secondary ISE after promoting admin role to primary  ?

    We have the same set up across an OTV link and have tested this scenario out multiple times. You don't have to do anything if communication is broken between the prim and secondary nodes. The secondary will automatically start authenticating devices that it is in contact with. If you promote the secondary to primary after the link is broke it will assume the primary role when the link is restored and force the former primary nodes to secondary.

  • Distribution Monitor import steps!

    Hi ,
    Below are the doubts what I have for Distmon.
    1.  DBSIZE.xml file is created in distmon dir where the preperation was run. Should we copy the same to install the target system to be issued in sapinst.   
    2.  One of the package sapappl1 has become very big can we split the package, if yes how do we do that.
    3. the DB dir and the dbsize.xml file is not available or not created in SapinstImport dir. should we creat the dir and mv dbsize.xml there.?
    4. I have given 30 jobs, but the hardware utilization on both apps and db server was not more than 15%. but still the export of some of the  bigger split tables took time. in the time file it gives abt 5 MB/min export time. what can be culprit here? is it hard disk or n/w ? or something else. We have collected the statistics before export.

  • Backup of monitor node 1.1.4

    Hi all,
    I'm fairly happy with backups and restoration on the admin node, but not done much with the monitor node.
    I think a while ago, I backed up a monitor node and restored it, and seemed to go ok, apart from the gap in logs while you're actually doing the backup/restore.
    What I want to know and have not seen any documentation on it, is there a decent way of opening and viewing backed up logs. i.e. accessing the massive raw encrypted file that will be saved off to some network drive somewhere?
    I'll give it a try on Monday but not got access to any at the moment.
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

    Hi,
    For scheduled backups, you can obtain information about the backup, backup events, and status (when the backup was performed, whether it was successful or not, and so on) from the Backup History page.
    Every Cisco ISE administrator account is assigned one or more administrative roles. To perform the operations described in the following procedure, you must have one of the following roles assigned. Super Admin or Monitoring Admin or Helpdesk Admin.
    To view the backup history, complete the following steps:
    Step 1 Choose Operations > Reports > System.
    Step 2 From the System navigation pane on the left, choose Data Management > Administration Node > Backup History.
    The Backup History page provides basic information about the scheduled backups that were run.
    For failed backups, you must run the backup-logs command from the Cisco ISE CLI and look at the
    ADE.log for more information.
    Note The backup history is stored along with the Cisco ADE operating system configuration data. After an application upgrade, backup history is not lost and the Backup History page lists all the backups that were run. The backup history will be removed only when you reimage the primary administration node.
