Regarding InfoCube restore in SAP BW system ( on IBM i )

Hi All,
Need your advise for restore of InfoCube ( logical data corruption in PROD).
So I have query regarding the restore of an infocube from BW system. Business need restore one of the infocube into production bw system, due to some issue. How I can achive only infocube restore on DB2 on i for SAP. SAP BW expert can advise about best approach from SAP BW way. Thanks in advance.

Hello Raja,
please check first if you can rebuild the cube from any internal source (DSO, PSA or other cubes) of your system. Well, it's more likely that you do not have all the data available anymore.
Another relatively easy way is to create a clone of your current BW system based on the last DB backup (you have to use a different SID and/or a different host). After configuring the clone, RFC and transport configuration you will be able to transport that cube or to load the data again from this new remote data source. This requires to have enough disk capacity to hold this BW clone.
After all, this work will not be covered by SAP's Develoment Support but is consulting (e.g. as offered by Volker).

  • Regarding function changes in sap backend system

    Hi Team,
    I would like to check if we can alter functions and its actions/permissions in SAP back end and transport it across landscape.
    This is needed as we customize the rule set and its difficult to validate the risk analysis changes directly in production when its made via nwbc.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Anil

    Hi Anil
    If you maintain a Function definition then you are updating those tables (Function to Action (transactions) and Function to Permission (Authorisations) tables). So the answer is YES
    If you are asking if you should maintain directly in Production Vs Transport then the answer would be DEPENDS - what is your company process
    If you are asking if you can maintain the SAP delivered rule set (activate via BC SETS) then the answer is DEPENDS. Again, it comes back to your company business process. You would then need to consider how you manage any future recommendations from SAP if they update their rule sets
    But again, those tables is where you store function definitions so of course you can maintain them.

  • After Restoring/Backup of File System XI Java Instances are not up!

    Hello all,
    We are facing problem in restoring the SAP XI System, after taking backup of the system the <b>java instances</b> in SAP XI System are not starting again. ABAP connections are fine.
    Can anyone provide suggestions/solutions in order to restore the XI System back.
    The system information is as follows.
    System Component:     SAP NetWeaver 2004s, <b>PI 7.0</b>
    Operating System:     SunOS 5.9, SunOS 5.10
    Database:          ORACLE 9.2.0.
    Regards,
    Ketan Patel

    If it´s REALLY a PI 7.0 (SAP_BASIS 700 and WebAS Java 7.00) then it´s not compatible. WebAS 7.00 needs Oracle 10g (http://service.sap.com/pam)
    Also see
    http://service.sap.com/nw2004s
    --> Availibility
    --> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) PAM
    If you open the Powerpoint, you will see that Oracle 9 is not listed. I wonder, how you got that installed.
    Neverless, if you recover a Java instance, both filesystem and database content (of the Java schema) must be in sync, means, you need to restore both, database (schema) and filesystem, that have been backed up at the same time.
    Check Java Backup and Restore :
    Restoring the System
           1.      Shut down the system.
           2.      Install a new AS Java system using SAPInst, or restore the file system from the offline backups that you created.
           3.      Import the database backup using the relevant tools provided by the database vendor.
           4.      Overwrite the SAP system directory /usr/sap/.
           5.      Start the system (see Starting and Stopping SAP NetWeaver ABAP and Java.)
    The J2EE Engine is restored with the last backup.

  • Switch over between two SAP PI systems for downtime minimization

    Hello Colleagues,
    with our interfaces over our SAP PI 7.31 (ABAP/Java) system we assume we will run in a 7x24 h runtime scenario in the future.
    Regarding Business Continuity we have to think about solutions which help us to handle downtimes greater than 15 min. regarding Support Package upgrade, Kernel update, EHP, etc.
    The first idea is to implement a second equal SAP PI productive system in parallel to the existing one.
    On the sender side a switch over implementation like WebDispatcher, Load Balancer, etc.
    For maintenance all Interface traffic can run over PI Nr. 1 and PI Nr. 2 can be updated.
    Afterward all interfaces will switched to PI Nr. 2 and PI Nr. 1 can go in maintenance.
    Could be this as suitable solution for SAP PI Business Continuity or do you know better solutions?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Jochen

    Hello Bernhard, Hello Holger,
    many thanks for reply and providing these valuable information's.
    The nZDM Concept is already known to me but it doesn’t answer all our questions.
    Please let me explain a little more in detail.
    Not currently but in the near future we assume some new interface over our SAP PI System will come with the requirement max. downtime lower thank 10 to 15 min. only allowed.
    To be prepared regarding this possible scenario, we start thinking about possible different solutions.
    First step was the nZDM Concept, of course. But it didn’t meet all our requirements regarding interface downtime.
    Some points are:
    possible min. downtime is 30 min. and thus is over our requirements for interfaces
    only for Update (and planed for Upgrade) the SAP PI application
    all operating system and database related maintenance tasks are not covered by nZDM
    all Hardware (Server, Storage, etc.) as well not covered by nZDM
    Among others, because of these facts we start thinking about a second equal SAP PI system beside to existing productive one.
    Than line 1 will take over the whole interface traffic and in the meantime the line 2 can go in maintenance. After finalizing the maintenance for SAP PI Nr. 2 we can switch the interface traffic to SAP PI Nr. 2 to get SAP PI Nr. 1 free for maintenance.
    Regarding the topic “PI Federation” I found here in these documentation's several hints regarding this scenario (two SAP PI systems in an switch over scenario).
    PI Federation – An Overview
    among others  Page: 27
    Business Continuity: Central PI integration Server with redundant Integration Server to be used in controlled switch over scenarios when upgrading or patching.
    or
    How to Fast-Switch Integration Scenarios between SAP PI Runtimes Part II: Web Dispatcher
    But I didn’t found any further detail documentation's regarding this approach.
    The solution should fit as well to our existing hardware infrastructure.
    For production we use an IBM (AIX) failover-cluster switch between our both data center.
    Regarding our hardware infrastructure prerequisites and downtime requirements, which solution(s) do you recommend? Is PI Federation still an option?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • SAP file system restoration on other server

    Dear Experts,
    To check that our offline file system backup is successful, we are planning to restore the offline file system backup from the tape on to a new test server.
    Our current SAP system (ABAP only) is in cluster with CI running on one node (using virtual host name cicep) & DB running on another node (using virtual host name dbcep).
    Now, is it possible to restore the offline file system backup of the above said cluster server on to a single server with a different host name?
    Please help on this.

    2. Is it possible to directly backup the filesystems (like /dev/oracleGSPlv)?  This requirement is because, when I backup (using tar) /oracle, all the folders in /oracle, like /oracle/GSP, /oracle/GSP/sapdata1 etc, are also backed up.  I do not want it.  I would like to backup the filesystems directly.
    3. Which unix backup tools are used to backup the individual filesystems?
    4. How do we restore the filesystems to the test server?
    Thanks for your advise.

  • How to install BI-CONT 7.37 in SAP ECC system EHP 5

  • BI System copy: 2 SAP BW system should be connect to same R/3 system

    Hi!
    We have copy one SAP BW system SR1 to another SAP BW system SR2.
    SR1 was connected to SAP R/3 system R31.
    As consequence the new SAP BW system SR2 has also in RSA1 --> source system the entry of SAP R/3 system R31.
    We would like to restore the source connection in new SAP BW system SR2.
    By doing so a pop up comes up with decision to delete an existing connection R31<CLNT>XXX or not to delete this connection to the first BW System SR1.
    Question:
    Can 2 BW systems (SR1, SR2) be connected to the same SAP R/3 system (R31) and what should we do in this casee with pop up (delete or not delete the existing connection to the source BW System SR1)?
    Any helpful information will be very appreciated!

    HI
    > Can 2 BW systems (SR1, SR2) be connected to the same SAP R/3 system (R31)
    Why not? One R/3 system can be connected to many BI/BW system.
    > what should we do in this casee with pop up (delete or not delete the existing connection to the source BW System SR1)?
    This pop up is coming because you created your SR2 system as a copy of SR1 system. If you have access to your R/3 system, you can check in table RSBASIDOC there will be  only one entry R31CLNTXXX --- SR1CLNTXXX which is creating problem
    What you can do is to run one FM RSAP_BIW_DOSCONNECT ( in the new system) and delete the entry for R31CLNTXXX and SR1CLNTXXX. Then also delete some correspondign entries from EDP13, EDPP1 and EDP21. Then in the new system , from RSA1 create new connection. I Before creating the new source system connection, in your new BI system you can delete the RFC connection for the R/3 system from SM59. During creation of new connection this RFC will be generated once again automatically.  should work fine.
    Remember, DO NOT delete connection from RSA1 which in turn will delete all the dataSources.
    Please also follow SAP Note 886102 - System Landscape Copy for SAP BW and NW BI carefully before doing ANYTHING with RSBASIDOC.

  • 2 BI systems are connected to one SAP ECC-system

    HI,
    I have the following situation: we have one SAP ECC-system, and there is already one BI-system for one company code connected. I would like to connect now a second BI-system for another company code. Both BI-system uses more or less the same infocubes in controlling. I would like to copy all data sources in the ECC, so that I have every datasource twice, one for the first BI-system and 2 for the second BI-system.
    I thougth I could use transacioin code ROS2 for this. I created the datasource Z_CO_OM_CCA_1 and would like to use the function module BWOM_RS_GET_CTRCST and the extract structure ICCTRCST like the standard datasource 0CO_OM_CCA_1. During saving I get the error message TABLES-parameter E_T_DATA is missing - what does this mean?
    Is there another solution for my problem?
    I appreciate any kind of help!
    Thank's a lot
    Christine

    Christine,
    I would recommend to have a, lets say, maximum number of selection fields available and nothing BW-system specific. So as I mentioned before, no need to have the same datasources twice. In case of some, e.g. the logistics datasources, this might also be a enhancement/development that might be totally out of your budget. (Think about the setup tables, the processes to fill them....)
