Pre-Production Setup for Failover

Hi
I have installed my SAP Production environment on Window 2008 R2 , SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5, Oracle 11.2.0.3.
I have setup my DR system at different seismatic zone  on Window 2008 R2 , SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5, Oracle 11.2.0.3.
The Oracle Dataguard is used for data replication from Production to SAP DR system.
Now I want to test the failover scenario. I would like to go and install the separate SAP environment in primary site as Pre-Production for DR Test on different hardware box. The system identification (SID) for production and pre-production is same as RP9.
Would like to know that Can I use the same root domain controller (RDC) available at primary site for production and pre-production environment. The domain users are same  for both SAP systems.
Please clarify that does this situation will create any problem to my production or pre-production environment with same root domain controller?
or
should I go head with different root domain controller for pre-production environment ?
Regards
vimal

Hello
It is not recommended to have SAP systems sharing the same SID in a landscape... at least because it is not possible to have the system in the same TMS transport domain (but this can also have other drawback, especially if both system have client with same logical system name).
Even if it is possible to use the same domain users for two different systems I would not  recommend this option, especially if one of the systems is a production one...
Suppose that for any reason the SAP domains accounts gets locked / modified / deleted ...
Either you create pre-prod system with a different SID (best option) and then you can share the same windows domain, or if you are willing to keep the same SID I would suggest that you install your pre-prod system either in an other domain or in a workgroup...
If your purpose is to test your Oracle DR abilities that is not a domain related mechanism, so you can test it in a workgroup...
Regards

  • What is the Ideal Production Setup For One Admin and 4 Managed Servers

    Dear Experts
    I will be starting with production setup including one Admin server and 4 managed servers in one single domain.
    I am thinking of creating a single node environment(no clusters) as the machine has following configuration
    OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
    RAM : 48 GB
    System Type : 64 bit
    Processor : Intel(Xenon) 4 processors [email protected]
    Can you please let me know if this configuration would suffice for the 4 managed servers if i assign Xmx and Xms as 4096 and Heap Space as 1024 to all the Managed Servers.
    It is very urgent and i need to convey to the Infrastructure team if harware procurement is required.
    We are looking at somewhere around 300 concurrent users(maximum load) and 100(minimum load) at a given point of time.
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks in advance

    Heap size must be calculated according to the applications that are been deployed on each JVM.
    With no deployments, you dont need more than 256k for managed servers heap size and 512k for adminserver. As biggest its your heap size, longer will take your garbage collection. And if you can prevent it, better do it.

  • Pre-production Planning

    Hi, How to do pre-production planning for the possible production with current resources in a stipulated time and resources required for completion of specified production qty with the stipulated time. i also need to condisder maintenance schedule etc.pls advise.

    Dear Yadav,
    In my understanding LTP is one way of doing the pre-production planning for a material or a list of
    material through simulated planning and using the simulated planned orders.
    This can be used for doing vendor analysis and also to check the capacity anaylsis.
    Based on this you can modify the production plan or go for extra shift or extra resources to meet the
    plan or adjust the plan as per the available capacity.
    To know explore more about LTP,check this thread,
    LTP - CM38
    Just hold on for other's suggestions on the same.

  • FCS for animation pre-production

    I'm searching for an asset management solution for our animation production. The assets in this case will primarily be designs and storyboards. None of which would be used directly in a FCP project. This would all be part of pre production.
    As the artwork moves through the pipeline, having one central location for everyone to work from would be great. Someone recommended FCS and though it looks great I'm wondering if this will work for us.
    Thanks.

    Final Cut Server would be a great solution for this needs regardless if you plan to use the digital assets in FCP or not. Final Cut Server can be installed both Windows and Mac OS X. I am assuming that at some point you may use After Effects to produce an animatic and Final Cut Server can be use for this as well. Also if you have a lot of image sequences Final Cut Server 1.5 has native support for image sequences which will also automatically create preview version of the image sequence.
    Hope this helps.

  • UCS pre-production test plan from cisco

    Hi,
    Is there a pre-production tests plan from cisco to validate that a new UCS setup is A-OK?
    I found some stuff on google. But nothing from cisco.
    Thanks for any help.
    Stephane.                  

    Hi Stephanie,
    I am unaware of a particular pre-production test plan from Cisco to validate UCS setup but I do believe that Advanced Services is available in this regard, to assist. However, I suspect that this is not the level that you are requesting.
    Thanks.

  • Cisco ASA - 2 Site to Site routes needed for failover -Is possible?

    3 physical sites. 2 ASA 5510 (routing mode_). 3rd site is in between ASA sites. 2 different connections. Depending on which link goes down, a certain set of Network Lists for Site to Site VPN is needed to place the 3rd site subnets where they belong depending on which link dies. The tunnels all work. Here is my wonder: Can I automate this somehow in my environment (all Cisco 3750/3560/2960) so that I can leave both tunnels in place so that if either link dies, the appropriate tunnel is picked for failover? Running 8.03 code on ASA. Using EIGRP (love that protocol). Anyone have any ideas?

    You can implement failover or loadbalancing . Use this configuration examples for your configurations.
    http://cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/tsd_products_support_configure.html

  • Can't create a service for failover on 2 node windows2008 RAC

    To create a new service for failover,
    1)Enterprise Manager can not be used by prompting an error: many people already mentioned.
    2)Net Manager could create a service but it fails to test showing:
    Attempting to connect using userid: qa1
    The test did not succeed.
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    Q1: According to doc, it should be used ONLY for Non-cluster and single instance. Is this why I have an error?
    Q2: If not, what should I need to do to fix this problem?
    3)Using command line like
    C:\Users\administrator.QAPF2>srvctl add service -d ORCL -s NLS -r orcl1 -a orcl2
    C:\Users\administrator.QAPF2>srvctl start service -d ORCL -s NLS
    C:\Users\administrator.QAPF2>srvctl status service -d ORCL -s NLS
    Service NLS is running on instance(s) orcl1
    C:\Users\administrator.QAPF2>sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect sys as sysdba
    SQL> alter system register;
    When I try to connect from client using "jdbc:oracle:thin:@orarac-scan:1521:NLS" connection string, I got the following error:
    Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
    The Connection descriptor used by the client was:orarac-scan:1521:NLS
    Note: If I use "ORCL1" instead of NLS, then it works. ORCL1=SID on node1, NLS=service name.
    Q3: Are there anything I should do more?
    Q4: How do I add a listener for this new service(NLS)? I added the following using Net Manager but no effect:
    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orarac-scan)(PORT = 1521)))

    Yes, it worked with sqlplus commandline(local or from remote) like:

  • AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

    HI
    I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
    thanks

    Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
    I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
    Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
    by
    Sarma Chilukuri
    This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
    Part I – Basic Setup
    AP Setup for check printing
    There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
    Step 1: login as Payable Manager
    Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
    1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
    2.     Tab to “Bank Accounts”, and make sure your account # has been setup
    3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the “Payables Documents” and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This “Payment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
    Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
    Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
    As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are “Ever Green Laser” (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
    Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
    Printer Styles, Drivers setup
    The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
    Step 1. Login as system Administrator
    Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
    Look for the “PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK”. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, “APLASP” (AP Laser printer format).
    Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
         1. The “PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK” is associated with a “User Driver” of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of “APLASP”
         2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
    Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
    Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
    Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
    Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
    Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
    This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
    Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
    CODE #     Code Definition
    100     Electronic check activation string
    101     1st Check #
    102     2nd Check #
    104     Deactivate check number mode string
    111     Activate MICR line
    112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
    121     1st Signature
    122     2nd Signature
    141     Address font activation string
    199     Return to default state string
    Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
    The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
    Step 2: Setting up the Option block
    In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
    E.g.,
    p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
    Step 3: Output format is Text
    Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.
    Fig. 5 System Administrator Concurrent Program APXPBFEL Options Definition
    UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
    One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Q’s that were setup on the UNIX box.
    Part II: Integrating all the pieces
    The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
    What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
    APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etc… have associated format triggers and printer codes.
    Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
    For E.g.,
    For the MICR, the ”printer code before and after columns “ should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
    Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
    The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
    At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.
    Fig. 7 APXPBFEG rdf file MICR printer mask and Format Triggers
    Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.
    I broke the line into pieces to illustrate the exact escape sequence code.
    Code "211"
    Part 1: esc "&f0S" esc "&f0y0X" esc "&l0E" esc "&a0L"
    Part 2: esc "(8M" esc "(s0p8.00h8.0v0s0b80T" --- This will be provided by the ROM
    Cartridge provider
    Part 3: esc "&k15H" esc "*p3215Y" esc "&a13.8C"
    code "212"
    Part 1 : esc "&f1x3x8X"
    Part 2 : esc "&f1S"
    Let us go over these 2 sets of codes carefully.
    Escape Code     Meaning     Comment
    esc "&f0S"      Push Cursor Position     
    esc "&f0y0X"     Define Macro ID 0 and Start Macro Definition     
    esc "&l0E"      Define Top Margin at 0 Lines

    Summary
    One can print their own checks using the above steps. This can work as a cost effective solution for small organizations where the budgetary constraints are tighter. We are successful in getting the AP Checks printed using the above method.

  • Setting Office 2013 on Windows 8x in Pre-Production Mode

    Hello
    We are in the process of evaluating ADRMS for protecting documents. Currently, I have ADRMS running on a Windows Server 2012 x64. I have 2 other machines which talk to this - one with Office 2013 installed on a windows 8.1 set in production mode and another
    similar machine having  a custom program based on ADRMS SDK 2.1 APIs. 
    How can I set the server running ADRMS as well as Office 2013 in pre-production mode? If there are any documents on this, can this be shared or pointed to please
    Thanks
    SN

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to do this or is this done differently?
    This is what I want to test to start with - I have a document (docx) and I have protected it using ADRMS SDK2.1 based custom client application. I want to test this protected document by opening using Office 2013 and see if the permissions I set are working.
    The custom application is installed on a machine (8.1, set to pre-prod by setting MSIPC & uDRM \Hierarchy to 1)  connecting to a server (Win 2012, set in pre-prod by setting DRMS\Hierarchy to 1) with both ADRMS & ADDS installed in it. For some
    reason the client works even with uDRM/Hierarchy set to 0, so not sure what is the relevance of uDRM. 
    I have the Office 2013 installed on a Windows 8.1 different from the above 2 machines and connected to the above domain. But I am unable to open the document protected by the custom RMS app. In fact, when I try to protect a document created using Word 2013
    on this machine it says "The system cannot find the file specified"

  • External Drive selection/setup for TM

    Just upgraded to Leopard. Very excited to use Time Machine, and really want to set it up right from the begining. Thought of this setup:
    - for TM: external hard-drive with 2TB (400/800) WD or Seagate
    - for shared storage (pix/music/etc.) for iMac and other laptops (PCs): TimeCapsule 1TB (i would like to TM this external as well)
    if I get a 1TB for TM, and it starts to run out of space, can I daisy chain it (i.e. expand it)?
    thank you for your time and help in advance.

    1. You can configure the 1TB Time Capsule for TM backups of all your computers in the house.
    2. Attach a 1TB USB2 HDD (known as AirDisk) to thee USB2 Time Capsule port and all your computers will have access to it via file sharing and/or Account/PW setups using the Mac's AirPort Utility.
    So long as speed to/from the AirDisk does not present a problem then this setup should work for you.
    If you want more shared storage then attach a powered hub to the Time Capsules USB2 port and hang more USB2 HDDs to the hub.
    Review Drobo device as well. Spendy but easy to use and setup. See http://www.drobo.com/products.aspx

  • Product ID for Enterprise Query, Reporting, and Analysis package

    Hi Experts,
    I try to install Enterprise Query, Reporting, and Analysis package(CD number : 51033475)
    Installation setup asks the Product ID,
    How can i find the correct Product ID for this installation,
    Regards

    For Partners and SAP, the license id is contained in a word document that is in the Download Manager. 
    We are also trying to install this package, but it seems only the SAP drivers and not the BO Enterprise is contained in the Service Marketplace file.
    Just wondering if you have experienced the same thing.
    Best regards,
    Steve

  • Disaster Recovery setup for SAP Portal

    Hello,
    I am trying to setup a DR site for our portal system. We are using EMC Recover Point to do the SAN replication between Production and DR site. We are using MSCS cluster with one CI and DI in Production. For DR, we are planning to go with a distributed installation with one portal and database node.
    Can I create the DR system using System copy assuming that the SID is going to be the same, and the host names/IP addresses are different. How can we make sure that the custom applications deployment in production is in sync with the DR site? I don't think replicating the database preserves everything as the Java system persists data in both the database and the file system, for example the Software Delivery Manager (SDM) is persisted in the file system.
    So, how can I make sure that the file system is also gets replicated between production and DR site? Should I keep the DR system shutdown and bring it up for weekly sync up or it can run parallel with the production system?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Regarding the system copy, last time I did one myself (its a while ago so I'm not sure if it is still a limitation) it was not possible to have the Target SID the same as the Destination SID.
    If this is not a limitiation anymore then yes you can use the system copy procedure as it also takes the SDM with it.
    Cheers,
    Benjamin

  • Standard tcode FBL5N dump in pre production.

    I am getting a dump when I execute the standard tcode FBL5N (Customer line item) with one company code.  FBL5N tcode is not at all giving dump in production system, however it dumps in pre production.
    The dump exists in the function module : fdm_local_get_objects_range while executing the SELECT stmt
      *SELECT * FROM  fdm_dcobj*
               INTO  CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE et_object_data
               WHERE logsys        LIKE i_logsys
               AND   obj_type      LIKE i_obj_type
               AND   obj_key       IN   it_range_obj_key
               AND   relation      LIKE i_relation
               AND   case_guid_loc IN   it_guid
               AND   is_confirmed  LIKE i_confirmed
               AND   is_voided     LIKE i_voided.
    Do I need to search for sap note ?
    Below is dump analysis
    Error analysis
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
        The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was not caught
         in    procedure "FDM_LOCAL_GET_OBJECTS_RANGE" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by
         a RAISING clause.
        Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
        exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
        The reason for the exception is:
        The SQL statement generated from the SAP Open SQL statement violates a
        restriction imposed by the underlying database system of the ABAP
        system.
    Possible error causes:
         o The maximum size of an SQL statement was exceeded.
         o The statement contains too many input variables.
         o The input data requires more space than is available.
         o ...
    You can generally find details in the system log (SM21) and in the
        developer trace of the relevant work process (ST11).
        In the case of an error, current restrictions are frequently displayed
        in the developer trace.
    How to correct the error
        The SAP Open SQL statement concerned must be divided into several
        smaller units.
        If the problem occurred due to the use of an excessively large table
        in an IN itab construct, you can use FOR ALL ENTRIES instead.
        When you use this addition, the statement is split into smaller units
        according to the restrictions of the database system used.
        If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
        find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
        If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
        keywords:

    Note Still Valid in Market place.
    "SAP Note 1111155 - FSCM-DM: Termination "Open SQL
    statement is too large."
    Note Language: English Version: 10 Validity: Valid Since 07-28-2010
    Summary
    Symptom
    When you access dispute case using the integration (creating dispute case
    using FI transactions (for example, FBL5N), clearing items to which dispute
    case have been assigned), the system issues the dump "Open SQL statement is
    too large".
    The error occurs if there are many (more than 1000) dispute cases for a
    customer.
    Other terms
    FBL5N, FBZ1, F-32, integration
    Reason and Prerequisites
    This problem is due to a very large dispute case volume.
    Solution
