Portal hardware migration

Hi Expert,
We've copied eitire data (file system level) from Actual EP PRD ( Active Active cluster) server and restored into a standalone system.We've successfully tested other server backup restoration (Java Stack) usng the same process.
Now here I'm not able to start the Despather and it is in starting mode.
I've encountered the error :
#1.#00144FEE78D500010000028B00003F9C00048A7DF7AD0258#1278173537698#com.sap.engine.core.locking.impl3.LockingManagerImpl##com.sap.engine.core.locking.impl3.LockingManagerImpl.jenqulib#######Thread[SAPEngine_EnquReader,5,main]##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Plain###Encomi: failed to connect to <Host Name>/3200/Connection refused)#
OS is Solaris and Database is Oracle. I dont know how to open 3200 port in os level.
Any Clue?

Hi,
Check with the configtool that the lockingmanager manager has the correct enqu.host and enqu.port values. I don't think you need entries in the services file...
Also, make sure you have an active network card or loopback adaptor, otherwise the message server can't be accessed
Thanks,
Sreeni.

Don't erase your 9.x on your system yet, you'll need to upgrade your firmware first:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
Otherwise you may end up with a permanently blank screen.
Once your firmware is up to date, and you have at least 3.5 GB of at least a 10 GB hard drive free (see my FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html to learn what proportions you need free), you have at least 512 MB of RAM, and your data is backed up, you can upgrade to 10.3.9. I wouldn't bother with anything less. See this place*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
on where you might be able to find 10.3 retail, which looks like *, and then you can upgrade to 10.3.9 from the combo update here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
10.0 to 10.3 are not tiger. 10.0 = Cheetah, 10.1 is Puma, 10.2 is Jaguar, and 10.3 is Panther. Ironically 10.3 is the fastest of the bunch.

Hardware Migration from one server to another server

Hi All,
We require more information pertaining to hardware migration from one server to another server without changing OS & DB.
We are preparing installation guideline document for the same.
Has anybody came across similar scenario?.
Any pointers on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Tushar Vhora

usually you don't have to care too much about the tools used (r3ldctl = R3load control | r3szchk = R3 size checker | r3load = R3 Load), because you normally use r3setup/sapinst to fulfill the copy/migration. r3setup/sapinst will call the appropriate tools with the needed options...
-> which release are we talking about?
-> which os and which database do you use?
-> how big is your source database?
-> do you have any time issues while making the copy?

Hardware migration - Windows 2003 DB2

Hello Experts,
We are planning a hardware migration from our present setup consisting of Windows 2003 Standard with DB2 to Windows 2003 Enterprise with DB2.
I would like your suggestions on the following points:
1] Which method of migration should be used
- system copy (migration creating export files)
- database backup and restore
2] What all optimization steps can be followed before and after the migration
Waiting for your valuable suggestions.
Thank you & Kind regards

Hello
you speak about a simple homogeneous system copy (because you do not change the dabase type - DB2 to Oracle for exemple - or the OS - Windows to Unix)
To ways to perform that :
- if you do not change the server, may be a simple upgrade of the OS is sufficent
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737287.aspx
- if you change the server, you can perform the upgrade by :
1. making a full offline backup of the source system (database)
2. performing the sapinst (homogeneous copy / backup/restore)
The sapinst will help you (asking you to restore the data)
The steps are :
installing the Oracle binaries
installing SAP with sapinst (binaries)
restoring DB2 database (with the offline backup)
restarting DB2 (I don't know DB2 specific steps)
ending installation
Let see the documentation
service.sap.com/instguides
Note 389530 (for other releases search for the relevant note)
Hope this will help you

Oracle Application Hardware Migration using Acronis

Hi,
I’m an Oracle Applications DBA and would really appreciate some other DBA input on the following question.
I have a customer that uses Acronis to backup,restore and image Oracle Applications. Their current instance (11.5.6) is running on really old kit. As a test the windows guys have restored oracle Apps onto a brand new server and started the services. This has worked, which is to be expected (that’s what Acronis does).
My question is “Does Oracle support this method of hardware migration using Acronis”. My understanding is that for hw migration either autoconfig or export+import were the only Supported options.
I know that 11.5.6 is unsupported and come to mention it so is their OS and the fact that they use images as clones. This aside I would be interested in other opinions on weather Acronis is strictly for restoring/imaging a duff system or in fact weather it would be supported by Oracle for Hardware migration. ( With some reasoning please).
I have checked metalink with only one hit (643276.992) but this does not directly answer my question
Thanks in advance to anyone who can reply to this.
Cheers
James

Yes you will be able to do that (migrate/upgrade your 10g Forms & Reports applications to 11g Forms & Reports) and deploy on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.
Note that FMW 11g release having Forms & Reports is not yet out. I am not sure about the exact time frame but it is expected to be out sometime this calendar year.
Thanks

Hardware Migration

Dear All,
We are in progressing of Hardware Migration for All prod servers.
Below is the ECC system detail .
CI and DB are separate nodes and 4 App servers were installed.
ECC EHP5 6.0 , AIX , DB2
Active and Active cluster setup.
Now can you suggest how we can proceed a new system build on new hardware in with cluster environment ( CI and DB separate nodes with Active and active cluster setup )
thanks

Hi John,
As you mentioned export/import is one of the options which when optimized can minimize the downtime on Production environment.
Second option which I could suggest is to perform offline backup restore and then perform in-place upgrade using db2se upgrade .
Found some links to guide you on this.

1. Backup the \usr\sap directory and copy it off to a remote location. Record down the SAP* NT services you have.
- The SAP NT services should be SAP<SID>_<SysNo> and SAPOSCOL.
2. Backup the SAP DB and copy it off to a remote location. Test the backup files by restoring to remote location.
3. Make sure you have all the install bits to install SQL 2000.
4. Record the users, configuration, collation page, etc for the SQL 2000 installation.
5. Flatten and server and rebuild with Windows 2003.
6. Reinstall SQL 2000, restore the SAP DB, and reconfigure per information you recorded in step 4. Make sure you verify the SAP system user access to the SAP DB.
7. Restore the \usr\sap directory from the copy you made in step 1.
8. run: sc
server create "SAPOSCOL" binpath= "drive:\path_to_kernel\saposcol.exe service"
9. run the sapstartsrv.exe and restore the SAP<SID>_<SysNo> NT service.
10. Change both the SAPOSCOL and SAP<SID>_<SysNo> NT service to use a domain account if needed.
11. Start SAP.
This is the cleanest way, I'm not a big fan of "upgrading the O/S". Instead, I rather flatten and rebuild the entire server using the new O/S.

Workaround during Hardware migration on production system

Dear SDN Friends,
We are approaching Hardware migration project in next two months,
My system details are:
ECC 6.0,
Database: Maxdb 7.6
OS: Microsoft windows server 2003, 64 Bit.
Due to limitation on my current Hardware System Export will take longer on Production server. Due to this reason we will have to look for some standby approach for our buisness. I am thinking of following Approach.
1. Prepare the standby system for production using backup and restore method of Homogeneous system copy.
2. Redirecting all the logon users to this server.
3. Stopping Instance on the main server and Starting System Export there.
4. Starting Import on the new production server.
5. After Import is completed, Stop Standby instance, Take Transaction Logs Backup.
6. Ship Transaction Logs to New Server.
7. Apply Transaction Logs there.
8. Once Logs are applied Start New system and Then Users can Login to this system.
I think with this approach system will not be available for end users for only few hours, (i.e. once the transaction log backup is taken till its applied on New Production server.)
Please Suggest me if you have
done this before or Guide me with proper way if I am wrong.
Regards,
Ritesh Bhatia,

Hi Ritesh,
Instead of going for this long/complicated approach, I would go for the workarounds to plan how we can reduce the time duration of Export itself.
Moreover, after migration of non-production server, when you reach Production then probably you can plan to assign some more resources to the production server. For e.g. claiming some Memory/CPUs from non-production and assign them to Production just for the temporary time period until you finish with production Migration.
Thanks

Portal hardware capacity

Hi all,
Is there a docmentation for the Determining the Portal hardware requirement.
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/capplan/capgen.html
I went through this documentation but it has nothing related to Portal.
Because when you create a simple portal, BEA adds lots of EJB modules and
Web modules which are not mentioned or considered
in this doc.
Any ideas,
Karthi

I guess it all depends on how you're going to use the spatial data. If you're using it as a "warehouse" to simply store spatial data then the normal sizing rules and guidelines will probably apply.
If, however, you're performing more advanced spatial functions (buffers, unions, coordinate system transformations, clustering etc) then you may find you'd use more CPU and memory than a traditional database. Many spatial operations are extremely CPU intensive, where as more usual database applications can be more disk/memory dependent.
Not very specific help i'm afraid, but this may give you some indication of direction...

Hardware Migration for sap R/3 4.7 Ext 200

Hi all
We are Upgrading our SAP R/3 4.7 Ext200 SR1 nonunicode oracle 9.2.0.8 to ECC6 EHP5 Unicode 11.2.0.2.
But first we need to migrate our hardware.(i.e we are shifting the data from our old server to new server).
We will install R/3 4.7 on new sever with oracle 10.2.0.4 and restore database backup from old server oracle 9 to new server oracle 10 .Now i need to know apart from following activities what else i need to consider.
instance profile parameter (ST02). we will give the same parameter value to new servers instance profile
Background Jobs(db13) we will schedule same if DB SID is changed or if we give same DB SID than no need to schedule again
System logical name (BD54)
RFC connections (SM59)
se06,STMS
We have done all above in two testing Servers.
Kindly guide me if any other activity is required.
Kindly support
Gurbir Singh

It depends on your landscape as well, apart from common system copy steps.
For e.g. in Production you might be having various interfaces etc. So, you will have to take care of those too.
Similarly try to extract something related to your landscape so that you don't miss anything, for e.g. registration of new servers into 'mail server' for SMTP/SCOT configuration, printer configuration if host/OS printer drivers/queues are needed etc.
Thanks

Random JCO Communication Failure Error after Hardware Migration

Greetings experts,
we had a migrated our XI server to new hardware and had couple of SLD related issues which were solved by the migration team. However, we are getting JCO communication failure very frequent whenever we use JCO from JAVA to call an RFC. The weird thing, if you restarted the message it will be successful.
The error message in the message monitor :
"COMMUNICATION FAILURE" during JCo call. Error opening an RFC connection"
Any idea to solve this random issue?

Hi again,
the number of connection was increased to 200 but with no effects. Also, the user used to connect is a system user which does not need a ticket.
This is my connection code
               mConnection = JCO.createClient("600", // Client
          "USER", // Username
          "PASSWORD", // Password
          "EN", // Language
          "hostname", // Host
          "01"); // System Number
do I need to add anything else if I am using a clustered system?

Weblogic portal schema migration

Could someone provide a best practices document on migrating a weblogic portal schema from one server to another ? or will an import /export suffice

EP 6.0 SP2 to NW Portal SR1 migration

I am doing EP 6.0 SP2 to NW EP SR1 migration following How To .. Guide Version 9.00- july 2005.
Page 40, 4.1.1 item 3. Location the KM software components on the NW'04 SR1 installation DVD, in the folders at ...\EP-KMC\. choose and redeploy all the software components in these folders.
I assume that this means component DEV EP-KMC directory and KMC directory. I should redeploy all SDA files in all directories under KMC which are FS, J2EE and JDDSCHEMA.
Questions:
Do I need to redeploy ear files in APPLICATION directory under J2EE?
If I follow the check list it just say redeploy SDA files, I should not do it.
If I follow item 3 in page 40, it require redeply all the software components in these folders, I should do it. I should also redeploy files under DQE and PORTAL and TOOLS since they are all under EP-KMC folder.
If How to guide do not specify the folder \EP-KMC\ and the next sentence, I know what to do. It just confusing me. Is there anybody has done the upgrade can give me a idea?
By the way, according to SAP note #732458, after completion of the portal migration,I must re-apply CM&COLL SPS09 patch 3. But it did not tell which step it should be done. Any advice?
Thanks,
Xiaobo

Hi Xaiobo,
I do not remember the exact folder names, but the idea there is that you should redeploy <u>all</u> KMC SDAs again.
(afterwards, the Migration Tool will deploy the EP SDAs automatically).
Hope this will help you,
regards,
Aviad

Portal Content migration from EP 6.0 to 7.3

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading NW ortal from 7.0 to 7.3.
Some of the content on current portal (7.0) is from EP 6.0 , and we want that too to migrate to new portal 7.3.
The content includes some XRPM Business Package and Cprojects stuffs.
Please suggest what should be approach for the same. What difficulties/challanges we might face ?
Thanks In advance !

try with theme editor -> import and export
This would have happened because of version mismatch. The standard themes will be automatically updated but the custom theme is of older version. It is better to recreate the theme.
you have to export themes to a zip file and then import this exported theme into the target portal.
I hope you should redesign the old custom themes as they may not work peoperly due to version mismatch.
for more information check the below thread
cutomer theme is not working properly
Points are welcome if it is helpful

Hardware migration on MSCS environment

We are trying to migrate our Quality Assurance system(QAS) system which is on a MSCS environment to a new hardware. The SAP version is ECC 5.0 on a oracle 9.2 and Windows 2000 server. The size of the DB is approximately 800GB, and we cannot afford a downtime of more than 24 hours.
Hence "system copy" will not be possible as it would need a very long downtime.
We also plan to adopt the same strategy on our Production server.
Could somebody suggest the best possible option other than system copy that we could use to migrate our system to the new hardware with minimum downtime?

Rock,
Are you sure about your estimates? I've taken 1.5TB systems via SAP export in 10 hours for a system copy method.
Another option is to build your QAS system as new (using all the same SID as your current QAS system) then use an offline/online backup to restore it. The same for your prod system - we did a migration where we took a backup one weekend, restored it on the new hardware the next week, then used the redo logs from the live production system to get it up to date - like a hot standby. When we made the cuttover, the whole process took about 30 minutes between taking the old prod system offline to bringing the new system online.
This, of course, will only really work well if you are not changing the SID, which it sounds like you are not.
The system copy via SAPINST is a better method if you are looking to adjust/change SIDs in the system.
Best of luck!
