Physical movement of SAP Servers ( Procedure,Odds n Cons, Pre/Post Steps )

Physical movement of SAP Server and Pre,Post steps ?
Hello Experts,
Need your help here.. Our Data Center is moving to Different Place , hence IM team proposed Physical movement of SAP Server to New Location.
In our Landscape we have SRM 4.0, XI 3.0 & BW 3.5 , ITS 620 and Requisites Servers available . As these are out of SAP support we don't have expert for ITS and Requisite Server installation and configutaiton.
Please please tell me Will this process work ? if yes then what are odds n cons in this procedure , Pre and Post Steps need to perform.
Please help me as early as possible as we need to take decision ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Raja.

Hi Raja,
You need to take care of following
1) Ensure that IP address and hostname are retained in the new DC. If IP is changing you need to take a note of all the RFC and JCO connections where IP is used and replace them with hostname.
2) For ITS you can re-install and re-configure. It is not a big task.
Make a note which all places ITS is configured.
3) You need to have full offline backup of the system before movement.
4) You need to plan for some System integration testing post movement to ensure things are working post DC migration.
Some useful information can also be found in http://christian.bergeron.voila.net/DC_Guide/Data_Migration_Methodology_for_SAP_V01a.doc
Hope this helps.

SAP Servers not showing up in Server Explorer...

Hi,
I have just installed v2 of NCO and everything has installed fine. Also tested a previous application written for v1 NCO and works fine.
But for some reason or other I can no longer create a sapproxy with V2. I followed the tutorial in VS2003 to the tutorial point in bold:
Procedure
1. In Visual Studio .net create a new Visual Basic or C# Console application
2. Add an SAP client proxy to your project as follows:
a. From the Project menu in Visual Studio .net, select Add New Item.
b. Select SAP Connector Proxy as a template and choose Open.
c. Switch to the VS .NET Server explorer.
<b>d. Right-click on SAP Servers and select Add Server.</b>
All I have is a Servers node that lists previous servers and a data connection node for SQLServer. There is no node called SAP Servers. Obviously this is the fundamental reason why I cant create a proxy as per tutorial notes.
Maybe the installation may have missed something, but I had no problems with the installation at all and like I said apps I had written in V1 are working.
Please help...
thanks
Kurt

Ofer, I spoke too soon.
I now have the SAP servers coming up and the BOR and Functions folders now. But When I try to create a filter on functions as per tutorial for <b>"RFC_CUST*"</b> it says incorrect username and password. I have tried refreshing this time and still comes up with a RED cross.
This is the same user account as used in NCO v1 app that is currently working with V2 of NCO. I have tried with uppercase password but still no luck.
This is the connection string constructed by proxy:
ASHOST=yamba SYSNR=1 CLIENT=300 USER=dotnetconn PASSWD=ALLREADY LANG=en
Something seems a little weird.

How to manage physical sample in SAP?

Hi,
How to manage physical sample in SAP?
Regards
Ashish Jain

Hi
Physical sample is to keep the sample of a product till its shelf life expiry date. E.g. In case of any shelf life applicable product, the inspected sample will be retained till its expiry date. If any customer complaints are received, on inspecting the complaint, result may be compared with the existing physical sample.
In SAP, Material master should have inspection type 15.
To create physical sample, sample drawing procedure has to be created and attached to the header of inspection plan. With this set up when the lot is created, physical sample will also be created. Result recording should be done for physical sample. Physical sample storage information has to be updated through transaction code QPR2

IP Change on SAP Servers

Hi,
The purpose of this question is because our company is moving the main headquarters to another plant and we need to move the site, and this also includes the SAP Servers to another location.
So we need to change the IP addresses for every SAP Server that we have.
We have the following architecture:
1 SAP application server defined with hostname SAP-APP (Production system). Operating System is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2.
1 SAP DB Server defined with hostname PRODUCCION (Productive DB). Database is MS SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4 and Operating System Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2.
1 QAS and DEV Server with a local Database defined with the hostname QAS_DEV. Operating System is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2 and the database is MS SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 4.
We do not use Print Servers or IP Printers on SAP, we use default printers for every user, using the SWIN: Windows printing via SAPlpd.
Our SAP Version is SAP ERP Central Component 5.0.
Notes related.
And then, we checked the related notes and topics on market place for changing an IP address to a SAP Server and found the following ones:
Note 403708 Changing an IP address.
Note 88346 Changing the RFC destination if IP changes are made.
Note 25917 Changing to /etc/hosts are not accepted.

Hi,
you are not changing the SAP System Host name, you are only change the IP address SAP Server.
for that you are only worried about the RFC destination which are created using IP address of host,
you need to change those RFC and assign correct IP address.

Want to move to SAP BW. Suggestion required

Presently I am working in India in the Data Warehousing area as Business Analyst. I have considerable functional experience and very good exposure to Supply Chain. Apart from that I have some exposure to BAAN ERP package. I would like to move to SAP BW. I have access to SAP BW and want to move to SAP BW. Can any want suggest what kind of role I can fit into?

Hi,
I think in most of BW Projects only 1 or 2 developers will be alloted to it. So most of the time you have to handle all things.
When comparing BW project with other DW projects, It is very pretty and easy job. If you have functional knowledge in the learning phase of BW ,It is very good.
So try to learn all things like Extraction,Modelling,Reporting,some sort of Sytem maintanance. And I think Work in Each part is dependent on other parts. i.e Modeling and Reporting are mutually dependent to each other.
With rgds,
Anil

bb,
Could you tell me if you have access to a BW system for development or as an end user.
Also I suggest you have a look at BW Projects happening in your company. That would give you an idea.
Also one more thing to do would be to go thru Fu and Fu first ( BW Setp by Step ). SDN please forgive me for recommending this book, it is on an older version but it is the only one in this category. ( Someone has to write a better book ...)
Then get yourself familiar with how DW and BW work , one area where you could fit in would be in Data Modelling and depending on your expertise with Data Modeling you could sell your skills as a BW Data Modeler.
But , the caveat is that getting in head forst as a data modeler is tough , most probably you might have to:
1. Get into a support project and work your way upwards or..
2. Get certified and then go into hardcore BW.
Arun
P.S I am also a Business Analyst of the DW Practice at my company and now full time into BW.

How to get the list of SAP Servers defined in xMII?

Is there any way to get this list of SAP servers without using custom action block?

Can't create MBO from SAP servers

Hi,
I'm trying to create MBO from SAP servers with Sybase Unwired WorkSpace.
I created Connection Profile and it worked well(Ping succeeded!).
However, I expanded profile tree, no BAPI was shown.
Any ideas what is happening here?
SAP version is below,

Additionally, It worked well in SAP ECC 6.0.

Eventually, the problem is resolved.
It related SAP Note 706195.
I did the Solution in the Note, all BAPI is displayed in Sybase Unwired WorkSpace's Enterprise Explorer.

Have a problem where I'll occasionally shift my computer (i.e. physically move it, say from the coffee table to my lap on the couch) and it will freeze and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal multicolored lines (closer to 100 lines than 5). Us

Have a problem where I'll occasionally shift my computer (i.e. physically move it, say from the coffee table to my lap on the couch) and it will freeze and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal multicolored lines (closer to 100 lines than 5). Usually restarting (by holding the power button to turn it off) works. A few times that has resulted in the three beeps (RAM issue? -- I've since replaced my RAM [it *seemed* to stop it for a while, but maybe not]), but the second time it always works. Attempting to SSH into the computer during this state does not work. Please advise as to what to do/what reports I can run and post. I will take a pic next time it happens.
Here's this info:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2

Sounds like a problem with your GPU. Do you have an external display you could connect your machine to in order to test this? If the external display renders the same way, then your GPU is damaged. If the external renders fine, then the CPU display is damaged.

How to Physically move my windows hard drive to my mac pro

Is there any way to physically move my windows 7 harddrive to my mac pro and have it boot under bootcamp?

It is never a good idea to move to different hardware, even if it does seem okay and work.
Why not try and see? and then ask what's next.
Obviously you'll have to reactivate when it detects new hardware.

Best Practice AV set up on SAP Servers

Hi,
Has anyone come across or aware of any best practice guidelines for AV setup on SAP servers, for example, which files/drives should you exclude and configuration tuning/reg-edits required. We have McAfee as our standard AV and we do use the HIPS component.
Thanks,
Martin

My best advise is:
Don't run AV on a database server but rather reconfigure the local/a firewall so that only those ports are open which are necessary to run the SAP application.
Excluding files may help a bit but neverless, as soon as the AV scanner is installed it will hook up to the filesystem layer and slowing down (maybe not significantly) I/O. I've seen weird side effects in upgrades and patch installations due to an enabled scanner although the database files and executables were excluded from scanning.
If you're urged to run Windows servers then I would put them in a separate network segment with a firewall in front and enable only the necessary SAP ports (and printing ports). This has a number of advantages:
- nasty RPC bugs can't be exploited because RPC to the SAP system should be disabled
- there's no need to reboot the Windows machines on every "Microsoft patch day"
A virus scanner adds, especially for production database systems, an indeterministic risc to the business.

Best practice approach for seperating Database and SAP servers

Hi,
I am looking for a best practice approach/strategy for setting up a distributed SAP landscape i.e separating the database and sap servers. If anyone has some strategies to share.
Thanks very much

I can imagine the most easiest way:
Install a dialog instance on a new server and make sure it can connect nicely to the database. Then shut down the CI on the database server, copy the profiles (and adapt them) and start your CI on the new server. If that doesn't work at the first time you can always restart the CI on the database server again.
