Regarding SAP & Oracle logs deletion

Hi,
I have a concern on SAP & Oracle logs. I want to know what are all the logs mentioned below can be deleted and what are all the logs should be kept for the recovery of DB, if the system got crashed. Also how many days logs should be kept for the future purpose. In our landscape, we are running online backup job daily from the T-code DB13.
sapbackup
oraarch
mirrlogA
mirrlogB
origlogA
origlogB
saparch
sapcheck
sapreorg
saptrace\usertrace
saptrace\background
Kindly let me know the answer ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

Oracle log deletion

Hi,
I am wanting to save some space with the oracle logs which are created. I have zipped up the files and want to delete the logs until I actually have to use them. Does Oracle access these logs during normal operation or am I safe to delete them and extract them from the zip file if needed in the future?

we dont do online operations we have created log
files after backup and it has occupied large space in
memory, we have created some log files is it save to
delete these log files.I am kinda confused by the statment.
What log files you created? with what command?
occupied large space in memoryI suppose you mean diskspace not memory correct?

Com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException during EntityManager Call

Hi!
I deployed an EJB3 session bean on the NW 7.1.
The aim is to use JPA with this bean.
I configured the "persistence.XML" for the bean project and packed it into the jar File and a "data-source-aliases.xml" which is included in the ear file. The packaging of the ear-file is done with the developerStudio and deployed on the NW 7.1
Then I created a dataSource project which contains the "data-sources.xml" and deployed this too.
Here is my data-sources.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE data-sources SYSTEM 'data-sources.dtd'>
<data-sources>
 <data-source>
 <data-source-name>JPA_SDN_EXAMPLE_DS_555</data-source-name>
 <driver-name>ora10</driver-name>
 <sql-engine>native_sql</sql-engine>
 <jdbc-1.x>
 <driver-class-name>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class-name>

 <url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.XXX.7.27:1521:orcl</url>
 <user-name>bdeadm</user-name>
 <password>dmin</password>

 </jdbc-1.x>
 </data-source>
</data-sources>
My deployed session bean looks like this:
@Stateless(name="WorkerBean")
public class WorkerBean implements WorkerRemote {
 @PersistenceContext(unitName="JPAModel")
 private EntityManager em;
 public String sayHello() {
The last step was the deploment of the oracle driver on the NW7.1 under the "Application Resources Overview". The driver I named "ora10".
Now if I call my Bean shown above with its Entity Manager Call for the injection I got the following exception:
Caused by: com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Error while accessing porting layer for ORACLE database via getSessionId().
 at com.sap.sql.log.Syslog.createAndLogOpenSQLException(Syslog.java:148)

I have no idea, whats wrong. Perhaps my driver is wrong or not set properly ?
Can anybody help me please ?

FINANTIAL DOCUMENTS MISSING --- ORACLE LOGS FULL

Hi Experts,
9 documents are missing and when they were saved the system showed the message "update has been stopped". This was because of the Oracle LOGS (full).
When Oracle problem was solved the documents were not found in SM13 to recovered.
Any clue?
On the other hand If a have finantial documents in QAS how can I put it on PRD?
Regards.

Hi,
Schedule your backups according to the full backup time.
Do a test of full backup and fine the time that it takes to complete the full backup. You can include "plus archivelog" if you want your archive logs to be backed up along with the full backup. This is most preferred as this makes restoration easy too.
If your full backup takes, say, 4 hrs to complete and if you schedule your full backup at 00 00 hrs on your scheduler, then schedule the archive backups after 04 00 hrs. This will solve your problems with missing archive backups.
>> "But from RMAN specialist I heard that this may cause problems with full backup. During full backup also archive logs are backed up (at the start and end) so there might be a problem with accessing the file that is used by another process. And this may cause problem with full backup - which we want to avoid especially."
This will throw out errors if your input to full backup consists "delete input" for your archived logs, else the process will not have any problem and succeed.
Also when one or more of backups run concurrently, "ORA-00230: operation disallowed: snapshot control file enqueue unavailable" error may occur but this is rare case.
Thank you!!

SAP - ORACLE 10.2 DB CONNECT WITH TOAD

Dear Friends,
Is possible to use Toad sotware (for accessing tables & write query to get data from table) in SAP Oracle ?
Will it create any log or log file in Oracle or in SAP iteself ?
Kindly, suggest me.
Suppose, if you know any other query software to connect SAP oracle, kindly, get back to me.

Hi,
It is not allowed to use 3rd party tools to access the Oracle database if it has been purchased via SAP (if it is not, then you should check the specific licence you have)
this is explained in detail in the SAP note 581312 "Oracle database: licensing restrictions" and in several posts in this forum

/usr/sap/trans/log cleanup

I was looking at usr/sap/trans/log and see a lot of old logs.
I ran tp check all and it created a report
The report showed more than 8,000 log files that can be deleted in the usr/sap/trans/log
Can I delete these old log files or is this going to create more problems for me.
THanks
Joe

Hi,
it might be "the official note" for cleaning this up of interest:
Note 41732 describes how to proceed in detail ...
Maintain the TP Parameters e.g. as follows:
(for the area "ALL"!)
datalifetime=30
loglifetime=60
olddatalifetime=60
cofilelifetime=30
- ensure, that /usr/sap/trans/olddata exists
- cd /usr/sap/trans/bin
- tp check all pf=< transport_profile >
- tp clearold all pf=< transport_profile >
... but I typically use the "manual aproach" with just deleting old stuff as well )

SAP troubleshooting logs

Hi ,
I would be more grateful to all of you if you could let me know whatever logs we can check to find out/trace SAP system problems on the following
Installation logs (ABAP+JAVA)
DB logs - Oracle & SQL
J2EE,SDM & JSPM logs
I appreciate all your help.
Thanks in advance

Hai,
For JAVA logs check the below link...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/e3b0f5f76a2e99e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e4/540c404a435509e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
For Oracle logs check the user trace and Background trace under /oracle/<SID>/saptrace
For BR tools logs you can check DB12 this is for Backup, Redo logs etc.,
For DB calendar DB13, For memory related settings check ST04.
DB16,DB17 also can be used to check the DB logs.
BRBACKUP writes the following file system logs:
<SAPDATA_HOME>/sapbackup/b<encoded timestamp>.<ext>
Every detail log contains information about the status of the ORACLE database at the time of the corresponding backup and about the actions that were performed during the course of that backup.
<SAPDATA_HOME>/sapbackup/back<DBSID>.log
This summary log contains a brief entry for each backup. Among other things, this log shows the return code of every backup.
BRBACKUP also records its actions in the database tables SDBAH and SDBAD.
Check the below link.....
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/0d/d30ed24a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Normally all Oracle problems starts with the string ORA-XXXXX ( X - represents numbers ).

NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/sql/log/OpenSQLException

I have developed a Java project. It consists of 2 SQLJ files and then a Java class. When I try to execute the Java program, I get a Java error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/sql/log/OpenSQLException
at com.mbb.crrs.business.report.dao.ReportDAO.<init>(ReportDAO.sqlj:23)
at com.mbb.crrs.business.report.dao.Test.main(Test.java:24)
Exception in thread "main"
I notice a similar problem on message: Re: Which jar to include com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException
Is that something that I need to maintain for it to work? Thank you.

Hi,
the problem one year ago was that the SQLException class was not available through remote access. I don't know if that might have been changed meanwhile in the latest release.
I implemented a simple work around: I caught every SQL-exception in the method where it was thrown, wrapped the exception message and any nested exception in a self written exception and threw this new exception. That worked fine.

SAP System Log on issue using Crystal Reports:

Hi All,
I have installed Crystal reports, Business Explorer and Business Objects XI Integration. But when I tried to create a new report using SAP Table, Cluster or Functional, I couldn't able to select SAP System since it shows SAP System Log on selection was blank.
Note: I have undergone the following trials:
         1) All the trials are done after connecting to the Internal Vpn.
         2) Re-installed the Crystal reports, Business Explorer and Business Objects XI. But result was the same.
         3) Compared all the setting parameters with another System which works fine.
         4) Only difference seems to be that I am using Win Vista and other one is Win XP OS.
         5) Tried in the net for Win Vista specific patches or software to run the crystal report but couldn't helped.
Did any one come across similar experience or is there any idea why it could be? Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Sujith

Hi Don,
Thank you very much for your reply. I was wondering from where we could download XI R2 ( 11.5 ) SP 2. I have tried downloading Software Forces .rpt Inspector 3 Professional suite (for CR XI R2) . But this doesn't seems to be the right one. Also I have cheked in sdn Crysal Report 2008 download (https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm ). But no luck. Thanks again.

Com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: table or view not exists

Hi!.
I'm developing a Portal Component over NW EP 2004s (7.0) which access to SQL Server database. I have created three tables on the system db (EPD). Connection is Ok, over datasource object, but i can't make a SELECT operation to my new tables.
Hovewer, making a SELECT operation over older system tables is OK.
I have adjusted permissions on my new tables, similar to the older tables. The table's owner is the same too.
The exception i get is:
**Exception of type com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException caught: The SQL statement "SELECT * FROM "SAPEPDDB"."UME_EP_UNLOCKUSERS"" contains the semantics error[s]: - 1:24 - the table or view >>UME_EP_UNLOCKUSERS<< does not exist**

Install SAP Oracle cliente Sw in a Win64 Bit+sql DB+ Kernel 6.2+BW 3.1 Ver

Hello,
I am trying to find for a while the SAP software that will allow a plataform Win 64 Bit + DB MsSQL+ Kernel 6.20+ BW 3.1 SW installed to make possible by a transaction in BW SAP Logon GUI execute a connection to a Oracle 9i Database external to the BW machine and Software.
The "dbcon" transaction cannot be the one used but the "rsa1" transaction with the configuration of the BD Oracle entry in the tnsnames.ora file existing in the machine where BW is running.
I've download the ORACLE 9i 64 Bit Client from the Oracle site but I still need to install a software that should be a library/Dll wich will allow the SAP kernel 6.20 to interface with the BW software.
Could anyone help me and indicate where in the SAP Service Market Place is this SAP Oracle 9i Client for a Windows 64Bit machine?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Sílvia Cardoso

Hello Silvia:
I know you can download the client tools on the Oracle site:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html
You need to register, but it's free though
Otherwise, if you licensed SAP with Oracle, on market place you'll get the Oracle DVD's. Inside those, run the Oracle Installer and instead of installing the DBMS, choose to install only client tools
Greetings
Alejandro.

Hi,
I do new tests it's very strange.
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG command is not obeying the policy of archivelog.
You can open a SR on MOS. (to check bugs)
I reproduce the same test and the result was the same, it seems that this is a bug.

RMAN> list archivelog all;
specification does not match any archived log in the repositoryOracle Docs Says:
The BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ... DELETE INPUT command deletes archived log files after they are backed up.
This command eliminates the separate step of manually deleting archived redo logs.
With DELETE INPUT, RMAN deletes only the specific copy of the archived log chosen for the backup set.
With DELETE ALL INPUT, RMAN deletes each backed-up archived redo log file from all log archiving destinations.
As explained in "Configuring an Archived Redo Log Deletion Policy",
the BACKUP ... DELETE INPUT and DELETE ARCHIVELOG commands obey the archived redo log deletion policy
for logs in all archiving locations. For example, if you specify that logs should only be deleted when backed
up at least twice to tape, then BACKUP ... DELETE honors this policy.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#BRADV89524
But in ours case it's not honors this policy.
Only with the FORCE command should this happen. But it is not our case.
Oracle Docs:
If FORCE is not specified on the deletion commands,
then these deletion commands obey the archived log deletion policy.
If FORCE is specified, then the deletion commands ignore the archived log deletion policy.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta010.htm#RCMRF113
Alternatively you can do the following:
Set the commands separately.
Check this:
RMAN> run {
2> backup archivelog all not backed up 2 times ;
3> delete archivelog all backed up 2 times to disk;
4> }

Help regarding SAP SCRIPT

Hi!
can any one help me regarding SAP SCRIPT. i unable to write a print program for sap script . can any one can send me sample code using ITCSY structure.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regads,
DurgaPrasad.k

Hi,
refer this to write print program:
The Print Program
Structure of a print program
OPEN_FORM function
CLOSE_FORM function
WRITE_FORM
START_FORM function
END_FORM function
CONTROL_FORM function
The print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase
tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and
selects an output device and print options.
Function modules in a printprogram:
When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine
forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.
To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed,
is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you
can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.
To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.
Structure of a print program
Read data
Tables: xxx.
SELECT *
FROM xxx.
Open form printing - Must be called before working with any of the other form function modules.
Must be ended with function module CLOSE FORM
call function 'OPEN_FORM'.....
To begin several indentical forms containing different data within a single spool request, begin each
form using START_FORM, and end it using END_FORM
call funtion 'START_FORM'.....
Write text elements to a window of the form
call function 'WRITE_FORM'.....
Ends spool request started with START_FORM
call funtion 'END_FORM'.....

Connect Non-SAP Oracle db (32bit) in sql 2005 (64 bit) using linked server

Hi,
I am connecting Oracle 10g database from SQL 2005 using linked server, in which i get the error
"Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE".
OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE" returned message "Oracle client and networking components
were not found. " (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
SAP Server with sql 2005 db is in 64 bit server / Windows 2003
Non-SAP Oracle 10g is in 32 bit windows 2003 server.
i have installed Oracle 64 bit client in the SAP Server and also copied the 64 bit version of dboraslib.dll to the DIR_LIBRARY path. I am able to view the oracle tables in the oracle client.
But, when i create the linked server, it gives the above error.
If i install 32 bit version of Oracle client in the SAP Server, i am able to create the linked server in the db level, but, it says "Work Process restarted, session terminated" message in the Z program in SAP.
The same works in the test environment where both are 32 bit servers. problem is when SAP server is in 64 bit and non sap is in 32 bit.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Nagu

"Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE".
OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE" returned message "Oracle client and networking components
were not found. " (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
check the workprocess traces for errors (and/or SM21). It seems that the system is "not aware" that an Oracle client is installed.
64bit programs can´t load 32bit libraries/DLLs that´s why the workprocess dumps when you use the 32bit client.
