Regarding database back up

Hi all,
I am new to database back up. Can anyone explain me what is the difference
between the back up which is taken using db13 in sap and taking back up
directly from sql enterprise server in windows.
Is it possible to do offline and online back up through db13?
Can anyone please suggest me in detail.

Sanjeev,
Well, you can't. If you schedule the backup, the BRTOOL set will address this. DB13 really only gives you a 'GUI' interface for the BRTOOLs as well as a scheduling capability. Remember that when you trigger the backup job from DB13, you're not executing this at the SAP level, you're executing this from the OS level via the DBTOOLs - you could schedule the same job at the OS level if you wanted.
If you trigger a BRBACKUP with the option 'offline', it will actually shutdown the database for you, perform the backup, and restart the database (return it to the state when the backup started). SAP itself will not go down per se, but obviously, it will not have connectivity with the database, and users who logon during this time will receive error messages regarding "no connection to database". Most folks, therefore shutdown the SAP system first, then trigger the offline backup.
Hope this helps.

Query regarding database access segregation using os authentication in windows environment

Hi ,
I have a query regarding database access segragation using os authentication (like sqlplus "/ as sysdba") in windows environment.Let me briefly explain my requirement:-
Suppose you have two DBA`s viz DBA1 and DBA2 and 4 databases resideds in a windows server say A,B,C & D.Now I want to set up such a way if DBA1 logs into the server then he can login to database A and B only using OS authentication and DBA2 can login to database C and D only using OS authentication.
Please let me know how to do setup for this requirement.
Database version is 11.2.0.3

1494629, I am not a Windows person but if there is any way to do this I suspect some additional information is necessary:
Are the DBA users members of the Administrators Group ?
Do all 4 database share the same $ORACLE_HOME ?
I suspect if either answer above is yes then this is not possible, but like I said I am not a Windows person. I would just ask for two servers and the associated licensing to be acquired. The requirement to spend money to do something management wants usually elimanates the request in my world.

Regarding database table to infotype

hi experts,
                sorry i m going to ask a typical question i m working on hr-abap ,i have developed a module pool in which the database table is updating with some data,what i want that after updation i want to store that data in a infotype,,so plz tell me how to create infotype and how to store the data into it from a database table...thnx in advance.i know it is a configuration part but rt nw my company doesnt have hr consultant.....plz help me.

Hi
<b>Creating an Infotype</b>
Using the TCODE PM01 you can create an Infotype. As per SAP standard you can use only 9000 series. The below procedure explains you how to create an Infotype.
1.Go the transaction PM01 and give the Infotype Number lets say 9999 and press button. It will ask you a messaging window,
2.Press create button to continue further. It will take you to create the structure.
3.Give the components and SAVE & ACTIVATE the structure and come back.
An Infotype attributes window will appear; you create a new entry with the Infotype No and give the appropriate description.
and give the data and press ENTER key. The Technical data will appear automatically, here you have to maintain the Single screen as 2000 and List screen as 3000 and then SAVE the info and press BACK button, you will reach the main screen.
After that using the Menu option Infotype
4.Generate the structure, dialog module and include.
Click the button from application tool bar to check the Infotype attributes. Select the 9999 Infotype and check the data.
If every thing is error free, you can use the Infotype using PA30 transaction.
5.Use the Create button you can create New Entries for the Infotype.
You can view the entries in table PA9999 using the TCODE SE11/SE16.
Validating Code in Module pool: - If you want to validate the user inputs,
You need to write the validate code procedure in the module program MPXXXX00 screen 2000 (here XXXX is user Infotype, in our case 9999).
In PAI.
MODULE P9999.
MODULE HIDDEN_DATA.
FIELD P9909-PRATE MODULE PRATE. Create a module routines.
In PBO
MODULE PRE_INPUT_CHECKS.
        input-checks:                                               *
insert check modules here:
CHAIN.
   FIELD P9909-PRATE MODULE PRATE.
ENDCHAIN.
Double click on PRATE it will ask you the include name, SELECT the include MP999930 from the input window.
*&      Module PRATE OUTPUT
      text
MODULE prate OUTPUT.
IF NOT p9909-prate IS INITIAL.
    PERFORM check_prate.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.                 " PRATE9 OUTPUT
Again check_prate subroutine, write down the below code in MP999940 include.
*&      Form check_prate
FORM check_prate .
CLEAR zprate_t.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM zprate_t WHERE prate = p9909-prate.
IF sy-subrc > 0.
    CLEAR zprate_t.
    MESSAGE e016(rp) WITH 'Entry does not exist in ZPRATE_T table'.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    " check_prate
After that check the module, if it is error free then ACTIVATE the same. You can check the Infotype validations using the PA30 transaction.

Regarding roll back and reassign the value.

hi all,
i am using forms6i.
Re: how to avoid the form's message situation
as we discussed my process has to happen like this. since it is a new topic so i have raised new thread.
what i want to do is based on the input values(base table values) i have to call one procedure, the procedure returned value i have to assign to one of my database field and one new record should go into other table.
so what i am doing is at the key-commit trigger i have written a procedure inside that i am calling a procedure which results in one value which i have to assigned to my blocks item. and one record to the table
my code in key commit trigger is something like
go_block('block name');
first_record;
based on the forms parameter call procedure
if procedure returns error then rollback otherwise assign value to base table item and one record to other table so
job_proc();
:block.item:= output ;
insert into job_table() values();
if system.last_record = 'TRUE' then
exit
else
next_record;
end loop;now senario is like if i am in fifth record four record processed as i explained before. in fifth record if i am getting error means
all four records value and insert statement should be reassined and rolled back.
so i have written like
exception when others then
forms_ddl('rollback');
go_block(block name);
go_record(system.current_record);
:block.item := null;
if :system.trigger_record = 1 then
exit;
else
previous_record;
end if;
end loop;is this is the way to rollback or is there any better way?
please advise.
Thanks..

Message to Old Toad regarding DB back-up automator

Hi Old Toad,
I have downloaded the automator you made in order to back-up the iPhoto library. I am just confused on one thing, even after reading the README file.
You wrote: "When launched, this Automator work flow application will copy the iPhoto
database file, Library6.iPhoto, from the iPhoto Library package to the Pictures
folder replacing any previous version of it there."
I understood from the tip you wrote in each of your answers on the forum, that the automator you create, when running, makes a back-up of the library when needed. However, when I read the README file, I understand that it helps in RESTORING the original file if corrupted since it replaces the library located in the picture folder. I am afraid to run it if it replace my current library in the pictures folder, loosing all my pictures/books/etc.
Could you please clarify? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I'm not OT but as his younger and better looking pal...
When you run the Action it creates a copy of the database file.
That copy is put into your Pictures Folder. If there's a previous copy already there, that will be overwritten. It does not move or in any way affect the running db file within your Library, it just copies.
Then should you need to restore a damaged db file, you can move this copy into the pkg file and you're off an running again.

TD

Regarding database update

hi experts,
i have to update the database table created by me,,i hv to insert multiple rows in it ,i m using table controls in module pool with insert button ,cud u plz send me the code n logic...as i m new to module pool ,,plz help me..

Hi,
It's not that easy for you even if I send some code to you. Because on the screens, what elements are there, and what modules you wrote on PAI and PBO, don't know.
But in PAI based on the Function codes, by handling the OK_codes you have to write the code:
Case OK_code.
when 'UPDT'.
you will be having data in the internal table related to table control.
After modifications, you can update the db table with that internal table.
Insert <dbtable> from ITAB....
sample piece of code:
REPORT ZBHMOD1 .
DATA:OKCODE1 LIKE SY-UCOMM,
OKCODE2 LIKE SY-UCOMM.
DATA:N1(10) TYPE N,N2(10) TYPE N,RES(12) TYPE N.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_1000 INPUT.
CASE OKCODE1.
WHEN 'NEXT'.
RES = N1 + N2.
SET SCREEN 1001.
WHEN 'CLEA'.
CLEAR:N1,N2.
WHEN 'BACK'.
SET SCREEN '0'.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE. " USER_COMMAND_1000 INPUT
MODULE STATUS_1000 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'xxxxxxxx'.
SET TITLEBAR 'TIT1'.
ENDMODULE. " STATUS_1000 OUTPUT
MODULE USER_COMMAND_1001 INPUT.
CASE OKCODE2.
WHEN 'BACK'.
SET SCREEN 1000.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE. " USER_COMMAND_1001 INPUT
MODULE STATUS_1001 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'xxxxxxxx'.
SET TITLEBAR 'TIT2'.
ENDMODULE. " STATUS_1001 OUTPUT
FLOW LOGIC:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_1000.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_1000.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_1001.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_1001.

How to revert a database back to one day previous state.

Hi,
Of course, if no backup, then no restore.
However, unfortunately there is NO database backup available i.e. export/expdp/OS Backup/RMAN/Flashback. But, the requirement is to prepare another database on another server with one day back state. So, can we take fresh backup of the database which has all the archived logs, and restore it on another server as one day back previous state.
Is there any possible way to do this by using existing archive logs? Can LogMiner help in this regard?
Thanks,
SYED.

Technically you could get lucky - but I wouldn't want to pretend that the following procedure is sensible or a safe way to back out a production system.
If you have all the archived redo logs since the moment you want to get back to then you could, in principle, copy the database, run up logminer and extract all the UNDO_SQL that it gives you from the present back to the point in time you want to get to. You can then apply this, one transaction at a time, in reverse order of original application.
Problems I can think of:
<ul>
a) It's likely to take a long time to do this, and you'll probably want to have a lot of manual control and checking.
b) If you've done any drop tables or truncate tables in the interval you can't reverse them out.
c) If you've done any nologging dataloads you won't be able to reverse those out
d) There may be some data types that logminer won't cope with
</ul>
Other people may like to supply more reasons why this is not a good idea for a production system - but it might just be good enough to solve whatever problem you have.

Sharepoint Database back up

Hi,
We are doing back up of Sharepoint 2010 using following way:
- Taking back up of all database of Sharepoint 2010 from SQL Server.
Will this be sufficient in case of disaster recovery? OR Microsoft recommend to take Sharepoint farm back.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know the best way we need to back up the databases for SharePoint.
Regularly backing up content databases reduces data losses that might occur from hardware failures, power outages, or other problems.
It is a simple process and helps make sure that all the data is available for recovery, if that is required.
Based on your need, you can choose farm or granular backup for SharePoint.

Query regarding database patching

Hi ,
I am on Oracle 11G and Solaris SPARC 64-bit server.
The server admin have applied the oracle CPU that was released on April 18,2011.
I have the path to the new oracle home now.
Currently my oracle home is 11.1.0.7.P1 and the new oracle home is
11.1.0.7.P2.
Now the practice that i have been following to change my oracle home(Patching) is :
1. Shutdown db
2. Change oratab with new home:Y
3. Change my .profile for $ORACLE_HOME
4. Startup the database with init.ora
5. Run catbundle.sql cpu apply
6. Run recompile_precheck_jan2008cpu.apply
7. View_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql
8. Shutdown immediate and startup
9. Change oracle home in listener.ora
10.Create softlink of init.ora to /dbs/ of new oracle home.
Now I have 2 queries :
1.Since the database runs fine post it , I am not able to conclude
if any other sql also needs to be run ?
2. What is the location of the readme.txt and readme.html which i need to check for invalid objects.
I have searched but couldn find it. :(
Also , How do i test the performance pre and post patching..
Will doing it by just checking the time taken for Data loads pre and post
patching sufficient.
What other checks can i do in dev to test for patch.
Thanks and Regards
Kk

hi all,
My client have 4 Units in which nearly 80%items are same in all 4 units,Bp are 40% approx same please suggest me how to manage 4 unit in 1 database or in 4 diffrent database.What problem i face if i choose 1 database for all four unit.
Note:All 4 unit working seperatly
Thanks and regards
Rahul

Hi
First of all u cant generate Balance sheet for all four units seperately.....(TB and P&L can be generated sep. if u have maintained Profit centres...) BY using some of tools this also we can achieve but not in std. sbo.
For connecting all Four units u should have Brooad band connection to access the server. In India most of the time the Broadband will be slow r down only....
All customers Balances can be seen by other branch peoples also.......
Unwanted Masters which is not belongs to other branch also will be availlable to everyone.anyway that can be filltered...

Query regarding database size

hi,
( sap 4.7c + sql server 2000 (Module:sd/mm/fi )
( data : 1 & half year - no BI )
our database size is around 50 GB
and log size is around 30 GB
I doubt that something is wrong.
can anyone explain to me what is right and
what action one should take on this type of scenario.
thanks in advance
raj

Hi Raj,
My database size is about 30GB (3 years of usage) and log file is about 12GB.
My database settings (recomendent by SAP and Early watch) are:
I shrinked database to minimum size and set following settings:
Database (mdf and ndf):
- growth activated: checked
- growth not restricted: checked
- next step possible: checked
- next step size: 60MB
tempdb and log file:
- growth activated: checked
- growth not restricted: checked
- next step possible: checked
- next step size: 10%

Query regarding database reorganization

Hi All,
I have been asked to reorganize the database( size 220GB Dev, size 460GB Qua, size 500GB Production)
Database is Oracle 10G, SAP version is ECC 6.0.
I tried this via BRtools on a test system(size 130GB,Oracle 10G) and nothing happens.Assuming this,I doubt any change.
However my management is insisting size must decrease by 10 -12 percent.
My query is if I reorganize the database via BRTOOLS what will be the effect on the database size.
No client is deleted on any of the system and no data has been erased by the functional team.
Any suggestion on the same will be a great help to me.
Regards,
PG

Hi,
How much space is liberated after a re-org task is purely subjective ( system load, when the last re-org was run etc). A test system with no user activity cannot form an ideal test-bed for re-org outcome. Rather than looking out for benefit in terms of percentage of space shrunk, you could look at all avenues that can bring down the database size. The following notes might be used as a starting point.
SAP Note 541538 - FAQ: Reorganization
SAP Note 771929 - FAQ: Index fragmentation (Easier than a table re-org task.Can be done online ( before attempting this online, please go through the SAP Hot News announced in SAP Note 1413928 - Index corruption/wrong results after rebuild index ONLINE )
SAP Note 706478 - Preventing Basis tables from increasing considerably (Exectue the SQL query in the note to identify the tables that occupy highest space and look for corresponding solutions in this note for those tables)
Above messages' SAP Data Volume Management guide also has suggestions for triggering archiving/deleting/compressing/avoid growth where necessary
cheers !

Regarding Database migration to external storage

Hello.
We are running on MS windows 2003 enterprise edition with Oracle Database 10g.
We have system with 32GB RAM and 600 GB Harddisk space on system, and we have installed SAP Solution manger and SAP Netweaver (PI) 7.0 componenet on that box. At this time we do not have external storage so we segrigate and installed SAP Solution Manager and SAP Netweaver(PI) on same box like
C:\ 120 GB Space - Contains SAP Software and Oracle Database Software
D,E,F and G: drive contains 120 GB each on every drive, which contains oralce database - SAPDatas, oraarch,saparch,sapbackup,sapcheck etc.
Now we have storage with good capacity, so we want to move all data from D,E,F and G: drive.
So how can we to migrate oracle database software to Storage.
Waiting for your kind response.
