SAP 4.7 and oracle version

Hi Experts,
I have a basic question. Is SAP 4.7 enterprise edition extn 1.1 currently supported with oracle 9i or it needs to be upgraded to 10g?
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
I would advise you to choose oracle 10g as the database.
Please read SAP notes 1058988, 407314 to choose the latest kernal and database release for this release of SAP as it will give you several additional features / functionality along with it and will be supported for longer time.
Cheers,
Nisch

Mismatch between COMPATIBLE Parameter and Oracle Version

Hi,
If the ORACLE version is say 11g but the compatible parameter in init.ora is say 9.2.0 or 8.1.7 what will be the effect on the database?
Will the database behave as like 11g or of the lower version?
If we alter the init.ora to the new version for compatible paremeter will it affect DB rebooting?
This is an interview question and i could not answer.
Please let me know the answers.

DB Links AND Oracle Version Compatibility

Both Client & Server running on Windows.
We have an 8.0.6 Database that has a public Database link connecting to another 8.0.6 database.
Using an OCI application to perform a simple select (using Oracle 9 Release 2 Client) :-
"SELECT * FROM USER.TABLE@LINK_NAME" gives us "ORA-03113 End of file on communication channel".
Running the same application on other client versions has given the following results:-
Oracle 8.0.5 Client - Works Fine
Oracle 8.1.5 Client - Works Fine
From the above we assume the problem lies in the Oracle client / servier combinations. Mainly that it doesn't work with a 9 client and an 8.0 server.
However, when we try the same SELECT statement on an Oracle 9 (Release 2) client in SQL-Plus it works fine.
I used Dependency Walker to check the DLLs that SQL-Plus is using. OCI.DLL is not one of them.
Is this a problem with the Oracle 9 version of OCI.DLL ?
Hope someone out there can help.
Adrian
PS: Is there a matrix somewhere that tells us the compatibillity between versions of the client against versions of the database.

Does your table contain any NVARCHAR columns?
I ran into similar problem in the past when I was
dealing with NVARCHAR columns over dblink to 8i server.
I found a patch (#1634613) that is supposed to address
the problem. That might help you also.

Mixing Instant Client and Oracle Versions

I have a customer with an Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 database running on Windows XP x64. I'm building a new development machine, and trying to install the matching Instant Client SDK. All I see are versions 10.2.0.3.0 and 10.2.0.2.0 for Oracle 10g2.
I assume the 11g versions are likely to cause some problems. Will it be a problem to install a slightly newer version, or will I have to patch Oracle for the customer? Since there's no actual DBA, I get stuck with all the DBA work, even though I'm a developer, and I try to avoid unnecessary DBA work.

If you have access to download the files from the customer's installed oracle, you can get whatever you need for the SDK there. It will match the exact version number, and be a lot smaller. If you need to run the program on a machine without the installed client or server software, you can use something like a dependency walker to find what DLL's you're missing, if any. Hopefully it won't be too much.

NDS and Oracle versions/editions

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the differences are
between Personal Oracle 8i, Oracle 8i Standard and Enterprise
Edition. I was wondering, also, if it is possible to use NDS,
DBMS_SQL (Method 4), etc. with Personal Oracle 8i. Also, is
there any place (on-line) where I could check (like a summary of
features) on 8i and 9i editions?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Nikhil Kulkarni

CISCO Load Balancer with SAP on Unix and Oracle

Hello Experts,
Explain me the steps How CISCO Load balancing Mechanism works with SAP Enterprise Portal?
If anyone implemented and achieved the same,please explain me the steps to follow from Initial Stage to end of implementation.
Or If you have any documentation on this just share with me or point me to the particular link.
I have seen the below SAP help which is somewhat helpful.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d3/e12840d89d185de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
I would like to know how CISCO will connect to M/essage Server /Java Dispatcher.
And explain me the steps to follow to implement External Facing Portal using Cisco Loadbalancer.
This should be achieved in Unix environment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Karthick Eswaran
*Points will be rewarded for helpful suggestions

We use F5 for loadbalancing, but all hardware loadbalancing solutions should similar. They offer multiple algorithms, we use simple round robin (SAP's webdispatcher has better options for load balancing). You create virtual IP to your CISCO loadbalancer. You then configure Cisco to route traffic to each portal application server. If you have CI + 2 appservers, you configure the loadbalancer to send traffic to cihost:port, appserver1:port, appserver2:port. You also create a DNS alias to the virtual IP of the loadbalancer. End users will use the DNS alias to connect your portal. Typically you use standard ports (80 & 443) on Cisco, so that end user URL does not contain any ports (so http traffic goes to port 80, https goes to port 443). You also need to enable cookie persistence on the load balancer for session persistence.
For external facing portal, you need to have your loadbalancer in DMZ and you want to use SSL. You also need to setup firewall rules for your portal and backend servers.

Different between Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 and Oracle 8.1.7.2 ?

1) Hi all, i have some doubt about the oracle versioning technique. For example, i had installed oracle 8.1.7 release 3 in a SUN Solaris version 8 and the database character set is in UTF-8. Then i select sql : "Select * from product_component_version" and the result is "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.7.0.0 ". What does that means ? Our DBA in another location had installed the oracle 8.1.7 release 2 in their db server with the same OS and same database character set which is UTF-8. But the result from the "Select * from product_component_version" is "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.7.2 ".
So as a conclusion, i had confused about the oracle versioning technique, can somebody please explain to me ?
2) My second problem is actually related to problem stated above (1). In the Oracle 8.1.7 release 2 database,
when i select a clob/blob value for update, i sometimes encountered the problem as follows but in our Oracle 8.1.7 release 3 the problem didn't exist at all after investigating that all the java code and other factor remain the same but not the oracle version.
java.io.IOException: ORA-22990: LOB locators cannot span transactions
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 700

at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBlobOutputStream.flushBuffer(OracleBlobOutputStream.java)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBlobOutputStream.write(Compiled Code)
This was an error log in our backend log and in the web browser it showed "Request Timeout" in both IE and Netscape. We are using J2EE, Oracle DBMS and IBM Websphere App Server for our e-commerce system.
But retrying the request sometimes may work but most of the time failed.
The above error didn't exist in our server using Oracle version 8.1.7 release 3 (8.1.7.0.0) and Oracle
version 8.1.6.0.0. But ORacle version 8.1.7.2 release 2 is encountering this problem now.
Somebody please help me on this problem, our developers and DBA had try to solved this problem one week ago but still don't know what is the cause.

Oracle 9i client would fit you well. You need ORACLE_HOME set, ORACLE_HOME/bin in the path variable and of cource check that the user has access there. Are you using OCI to connect to Oracle? JDBC thin client is a better approach, in my opinion, as it is pure java.
Oracle also provides something called "instant client", which provides connectivity only for applications.

BODS and Oracle RAC

Do we know of any problems with BODS and Oracle Real Application Clusters architecture? For example, a RAC TNS entry would specify one service name but multiple hosts for load balancing and failover. In BODS the connections are specified in many places (web console, datastores, job server). As far as I remember in some of those places we do have to enter the host name. Would this disqualify BODS from benefiting from RAC or would it (even worse) cause problems? Any official note by SAP on BODS and Oracle RAC?
Thanks.

Hi Mahir,
As far as I know it's only the web console that requires the hostname, however I am using DS XI 3.1 and when selecting database type Oracle in the web console there is a checkbox for 'Oracle RAC'. If you check this box then you do not require to enter the hostname.

BRBACKUP fails with DB13 and TIVOLI on AIX and ORACLE

Hi,
We have the Tivoli setup for SAP on AIX and Oracle.
when we run the brbackup directly we are able to get it through. But when we do the same with DB13 and Tivoli attached we are not able to get through and it throws an error.
Would be very nice and kind of you if you could share your setup knowledge with me regarding Tivoli and SAP.
Thanks & Regards

Unfortunately nobody here has a crystal ball to look into and see what is happening on your system in both cases.
We could ask you "have you done this" or "did you configure that" but it´s very cumbersome.
So please: provide logfiles of failed attempts if there is "an error" so we see which error it is and we can see if we can help.

Integration between SAPAPO and Oracle

Hi Experts,
Here, we have a customer who wanna make planning using SAP APO, and the execution system is Oracle ERP system, they want to make seamless integration between SAP APO system and Oracle ERP system, are there any ones who know how to make it? Could you please give me some ideas or show me some document links? if you can show me one example, that will be good.
Thanks a lot.
Su

Hi Su,
I donot have any best practices, still let me try to put my views on this.
The things required for planning in APO.
1) Master data -
Can be created alone in APO -- yo uma yneed to use BAPIs to create mass numbers.
2) Transaction data -
We were doing this incase of stocks. we are using BAPIs to create stocks of type (stock,Punchase orders,Purchase requisitions). Legacy system calls this BAPI and they load data with spread sheets to create in APO.Please check if is it is possible incase of Sales orders & other transaction data.
3) Sending planning results to Legacy : Here you will have to write cutom programs to send results back to Legacy (For example IDocs).
4) Apart from above you may need to develope few custom reports to ensure consistency b/w legacy & APO (to compliment /SAPAPO/CCR functionality).
Hope this gives atleast an idea on what has to be done.
Best Regards,
Deepthi

All Ace members and Oracle forum moderators/administrators

Dont you guys think that we need a way to stop threads once the problem is resolved as per the user who posted the question ?
Regards,
http://askyogesh.com

I understand, my aims was, instead of just saying what is your OS or what is your Oracle version, one could say, this differce on OS to OS and Oracle version to Oracle version and giving little hint/answer to the question.Assume that there for example n different OS and n different versions of Oracle SW.
Somebody ask the question (reason of problem is specific for OS or version of DB) and don't provide OS version and DB version.
Means that you will give him n hints/answers? Probably no.
There is problem people creating topics with lack description of problem/question. Bad subject "Urgent!!!! I need help!!!" instead of "Frequent ORA-xxxxxx errors on 9.x.x.x"
or description "My database suddenly crashed. Why?" instead of detailed description including OS, DB version and errors from alert log.
If someone didn't provide useful information I will ask for it but I won't writing "novel" to my post.
