Restarting of SAP PRD server

Dear Team,
We are facing a issue with PRD server.
For last 20 days we restarted the PRD server for 3 times.
1)We restarted the server for TMS issue which is advised by SAP support team in one incident.
2)Another time we restarted the server for the issue in Procedure cache problem in DB which is also advised by SAP support team in another incident.
3)today server is restarted due to VMWare (physical server) problem.
Now i have one doubt how frequently we can restart the server and is there any future issues with this restarting of server.
Please give suggestions on this because this is very critical to us.
Frequently we are restarting the server production server.
Thanks&regards,
Patan Thavaheer.

Hi Patan,
Now i have one doubt how frequently we can restart the server and is there any future issues with this restarting of server.
There is no impact on server restart if application and db is shutdown gracefully.
Secondly there are no guidelines for how frequently servers can be restarted.
Please investigate further on the ongoing issue to find out RCA of the issue.
Regards,
Deepak Kori

SAP PRD server bottle neck

Dear All,
We have SAP AFS ECC 6.0 solution which is implemented on SUSE Linux, Itanium 2660 Integrity server.We are using DB+CI on one servers which have 10 GB RAM, 2 processor and 2 additional server we have for DI. We are facing bottle necks for the current servers. our database size 190 GB. We have more than 150 Z-development which is business requirement. Lot of Z-programmes are taking CPU and RAM. We are storing Barcode data in Z tables.
Pl suggest how we can improve the performance of the PRD servers.
Regards,
Amit

You'll first have to find out
- how much memory is used (ST02)
- how much memory is provided to your database
- how much your avg. CPU load is (ST06)
You can also see in ST03N which of the programs are consuming most of the memory, CPU and database time.

Configure EWA for our SAP PRD server

Hello,
I would like to configure EWA reports for our PRD system.
In our Solman (7.01), we have the following:
smsy -> Systems
Sap ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE with BAS, DEV, PRD and BAS systems
SAP SOLUTION MANAGER with SSM system
solution_manager -> Solution Overview
ERP
SAP Solution
In these both solutions, the only EWA reports that I get are for my SSM system.
I have configured the trusted connections for my PRD.
Now, how could I tell my solman that I would like that PRD report is also generated in ERP solution?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

PRD server is running very slow.. How performance can be improve??

Hi Experts,
Here I am getting the problem, my PRD server getting dead slow unexpectedly. Here we are using logon load balancing, appserver is running fine but DB server getting very slow. its only happening for particular time only 15 -20 mins. Please help us to rectify the solution.
PRD Details:
SAP ECC 6.0
MaxDB 7.6
SLES-10.2
Transaction Taking too much Time:
Output of: sappfpar check Pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/SID_DVEBMGS00_hostname.check
AVG dialog response time:
TOP CPU:
Buffer:
OS:
WP:

In most typical cases of PRIV sessions and your ST02 screenshot is due to lack of memory on the system. The red on ST02 means you are swapping, which is not ideal; I can't see the actual numbers but it looks like CUA is in the millions?
If your system was restarted recently then you need to update that buffer to be larger and lower the amount of swaps. If you haven't rebooted/restarted the system recently, then you need to review how often the swaps are occurring and adjust to fit your needs.

PRD Server not connected.

hi friends,
when try to connecting PRD server --- its not connected.
it shows the error message Network Partner broken
ERROR text: WSAECONNRESET : Connection reset by PEER
counter 1 .
In command prompt i checked the ping connection for PRD server, The PRD server IP is pinging.
Plz provide solutions &i need to know this is a network problem or BASIS problem.
Regards,
K.S.Kannan.

Hi kannan,
Communication between the front end and R/3 server takes places only using the TCP/IP protocol. TCP/IP is a connection-oriented protocol that permits a certain amount of error tolerance.
This prevents minor errors in the network affecting SAP applications.If the TCP/IP stack identifies
a problem in the communication that cannot be resolved, the existing connection is closed and an error
message transmitted to the application.
The message'10054: WSAECONNRESET : Connection reset by peer' from the TCP/IP stack has the following meaning in this case:
An existing connection is terminated by the partner system. This message is usually generated if the application is stopped suddenly on the partner system, the host restarted or a "Hard Close" used.
Please check the Note 155147.

Prd server restore/copy on different hardware

Hi Everyone,
Our Client has PRD SERVER running ECC 6.0 .
u2022 SAP Release and Basis Release ECC 6.0, Kernel 7.0, Sup. Package level 15.
u2022 ORACLE 10G
u2022 Operating System : Windows (2003) NT 5.2 Build 3790 SP2
u2022 Hardware Model and Vendor : hp
PRD servers(2-machines) are configured in Microsft Cluster environment.SAP and oracle Database resides on MSA 1000 storage.
For the backups of PRD they use the HP Dataprotector 6.0.
Now they want to move to different hardware without using the cluster scenario (i.e now they will use single machine) but the OS and DB will be the same .
1st: whether it will be a Homogenous or Hetrogenous system copy?
2nd: can i use the hp dataprotector to restore on different hardware?If anyone has experience with restoring on different
hardware using dataprotector please share..
Please share if anybody has any document & suggestions.
Thanks

Hi,
1st: whether it will be a Homogenous or Hetrogenous system copy?
This will be homogenous system copy
2nd: can i use the hp dataprotector to restore on different hardware?If anyone has experience with restoring on different
hardware using dataprotector please share..
dataprotector is backup utility, for using this utility you have to configure dataprotector client on new hardware , after which you will be able to restore the database.
Thanks

Problem in starting SAP liveCache server

Hi,
I am getting the following error message when i tried to start SAP liveCache server with LC10.
"Restart of liveCache LC3 on saplc3cache terminated; reason: User LC3RFC has lock"
Message no. LVC072
Does anyone has idea! abt the error? why it comes and how it can be solved?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Christiane,
The startup procedure is not even reaching the lcinit script. There are absolutly no logs in knldiag and lcinit.log files. After little bit debugging I found the problem. But don't know how to solve it.
The problem occured when I was doing disrptive testing for the liveCache server.
When I kill ("KILL -9 PID") the liveCache server processes (<b>master first and then child</b>) there are some IPC resources hanging over there. These IPC resources (shared memory segments) holds some locks and are preventing the liveCache server to startup.
The problem is not happening when I kill child first and then master process (all the IPCs are getting removed in this case).
I am wondering whether SAP has any tool to remove these IPC resources for liveCache server uniquely for perticular liveCache server (something similar to cleanipc for SAP systems).
I can't write a script to remove all the IPC resources based on the user name ('sdb') which same for liveCache server and MaxDB. (Imagine a case where MaxDB(APO DB) and liveCache server are running together). Any other solutions?
Any answers/suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks,
Venkat

Print issue in PRD server

Dear All,
In our PRD server all the print is going in the waiting state ,,,how to resolve the issue ...as we are using 3 spool work process but the one spool work process is stopped and remaining 2 are free but not doing any thing ,,,plz give any suggestion to resolve the issue.
RABLEEN

Hi Rableen,
Without providing any information it is little bit difficult to give answer for your query. Provide us SP01 Error screen shot for that request.
1. Ensure the printer port should open b/w the user's desktop and the local printer. You can ask the user to pint for any of the word document to check whether he is able to print or not
2. Check in SU01 for that user is having printer access or not
3. Login with User's credentials from your desktop and try to give print whether you are able to print or not
4. Check any network issue b/w SAP Server and Local Printers
As i told you it is not easy thing to give direct resolution. Ask if you have any queries

Steps to change IP address for SAP B1 server

Dear Guru
My company is going to change the IP address of SAP B1 server, because I am very new in this area, so pls clarify for me the following doubt
1. May I change the IP address with the SAP B1 is running?
2. If I need to stop the B1 services, how can I stop it? Stop at windows service level? or is there any console for me to stop the service like SAP R3?
3. Do I need to stop the MSSQL service as well?
4. Do I need to reboot the server before I startup the SAP B1 service?
Regards
Guodong

Dear Guodong,
Just assuming you have only one question since that is the forum rule.
To change IP address for SAP B1 server, you need to Stop and restart the server to prevent the potential problem. B1 is not the same as R/3, you have to stop all B1 related services.
Thanks,
Gordon

Configure SAP for server-side trust

Hi all,
I am installing BusinessObejcts XI integration for SAP Solution. I need configure SAP for server-side trust. I have read BussinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solution Installation Guide. In chapter 6, It introduce how to configure SAP Server-Side trust. But I don't understand how to configure SAP for server-side trust, specially configure SAP Cryptographic. Would you please to give me more detailed explanation?
Please advise,
Duypm

Hi Duypm,
the SAP server side configuration is part of the Installation Guide Chapter 6. It starts on Page 94.
If you unclear about this and what SNC configuration means for the SAP server make sure you talk to the administrator for the SAP system. You need administrative rights for the SAP system and the system will have to be restarted as outlined in the installation guide

How to save .JPEG Image on SAP CONTENT SERVER?

Hi,
        I am working on online interactive form where i am getting scanned signature as .JPEG image that i want to store on SAP CONTENT SERVER. I am using webdynpro abap tool for application developement .
        Please guide me . Thanks in advance,
Saurin Shah

Hi
You can do it but there is one very critical exception to do it depending on the Webserver that you are using :
1. Is you are using Sunone Webserver then you cannot install multiple instances of CS on the same webserver instance.
And if using IIS then the only thing that you need to do on the webserver front is to restart the Webserver after the second instance is installed so that the webserver picks up the config entries made for the second instance's install.
With Apache webserver you will have make the entry in the httpd.conf for the second instance as you had done for the first instance
Eg for this is :
This is my first instance:
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll"
IdcUserDB cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/data/users/userdb.txt"
Alias /cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/weblayout"
<Location /cs2>
     Allow from all
     Order allow,deny
     DirectoryIndex portal.htm
     IdcSecurity cs2
</Location>
This is my second instance:
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll
IdcUserDB idc1 "D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/data/users/userdb.txt"
Alias /idc1 "D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/weblayout"
<Location /idc1>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex portal.htm
IdcSecurity idc1
</Location>
Hope this helps
Thanks
