SAP Adaptor for Oracle Installation Help

Hi,
I am newbie, I am looking for help in installing SAP Adaptor for Oracle.
My Idea is to do some RFC calls to fetch data from SAP into Oracle database. I am looking for what is my starting points, what to install and configurations. If you can help me with steps to be followed is really Appreciative. I tried to search in Oracle Forums, I guess I am not able to come up with correct tags. It may be a long explanation and may be people asked this question before. If you give me links to read is good enough.
Following is My platform:
Oracle:
I have Oracle 10G and 11 versions. Right now I have my infrastructer ready for 10G. If I install SAP Adaptor and get things running according to what I need, and tomorrow if I upgrade Oracle to 11 version, What all the things that I Upgrade?
Operating System:
Unix AIX 5.3
SAP:
ECC 6
Thanks In Advance,
Raj Murthy(Bhavaraju)

Hello,
Right now I have my infrastructer ready for 10G. If I install SAP Adaptor and get things running according to what I need, and tomorrow if I upgrade Oracle to 11 version, What all the things that I Upgrade?About all the topics relatives to SAP, you should ask them (to SAP support service) the question. For instance, is Oracle 11.2 certified for SAP ECC6 ? Or would you have to wait for a later release or patch from SAP ?
Only SAP could answer you for their own product and matrix compatibility / certification.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

  • Directory Structure for large installation - help!

    Hi,
    we are looking to install a cluster of weblogic servers, based on a SAN network.
    We are looking for advice on what the best practise is for the installation within
    directories /opt/bea/...etc for the various components: product, configuration,
    application, jar, ear, etc.
    Can anyone provide some good pointers of what they have used?
    thanks

    Hi.
    I'm not familiar with SAN networks. WLS 6.x is not very flexible as far as allowing
    you to select directories for components. Unless someone else can offer help on this
    newsgroup I suggest you ask your sales rep to put you in touch with BEA's professional
    services. Someone from PS can work with you directly and offer recommendations
    specific to your applications needs.

  • SAP GUI for JAVA - Search Help ALV display

    I need to be able to display search helps in the ALV grid format or the ' Dialog Modal ' option as seen on the <b>Settings for all F4 helps</b> tab under the personalize option for search helps.
    Currently when I am using a Macintosh machine the system ignores the system setting and my personal settings and displays all search results in an ABAP List format. Unfortunately the ABAP list format does not work correctly when used to input a field on another ABAP list report.
    This behaviour can be found on the Mozilla Firefox browser when SAP GUI for HTML and the SAP GUI for JAVA.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Rolf-Martin,
    Thank you for your detailed explanation on how the ALV grid control is implemented for the SAP GUI for Java.  This has been pretty insightful.  The good news is that I finally figured out a solution to my problem.  You see I inherited an old custom program where an ABAP list is used as an interactive data capture screen with input fields.  Well a couple of fields had search helps. The program has worked fine with the regular SAP GUI until a MAC OS user tried to use it with the SAP GUI for Java.  Whenever they selected a line from the search help it would bring back the entire onto their input screen.
    A sample of the code:
    form search_help.
        CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
           EXPORTING
                TABNAME     = 'EKPO'
                FIELDNAME   = 'MATNR'
                SEARCHHELP                = 'ZMAT1_A'
                SHLPPARAM                 = 'MATNR'
           TABLES
                RETURN_TAB       = RET_TABLE.
    IF NOT RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL IS INITIAL.
       LINXX-XMATNR = RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL.
       MODIFY CURRENT LINE FIELD VALUE XMATNR FROM LINXX-XMATNR. " ****
    ENDIF.
    SET CURSOR 9 SY-CUROW.   " ********
    endform.
    The problem was being caused by the fact that the search help ABAP list was overriding the sy-XXXX values for the current line contents, index, pageno, cursor row for the calling ABAP list. So when a user selected a row from the search help this would now become the current context and be transferred back to the calling program. 
    The fix was pretty simple; all I had to do was save the current line context and the context prior to calling the search help.  After the search help was run I would then replace the current line with the saved one in my local variable.  I hope this makes sense. We now have a couple of happy MAC OS users.
    Once again I thank you for your patience and support in  this matter.
    Have a great day,
    Edwin.

  • SAP Best practice for Oracle installation on HPux

    Hi - I am looking for SAP best practices document to install ERP6 on Oracle 10G platform HPUNIX 31. Is there any sap best practices guide?
    Also, for Dev system, I am planning to install ABAP and JAVA stacks in one database. What do I need to do in database level?
    Last, How am  I going to configure the 2 engines to communicate?
    Any reference to documents will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Sorry but I'm going to be a bit bold here.
    All needed information is on the guides.
    1) If you are on Windows, you put the SAP-Oracle CD/DVD in, execute the command mentioned on the installation guide type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you install SAP
    2) if you are on UNIX, you start SAP installation, then it stops and tell you to install Oracle. The guide tells you to run RUNINSTALLER (in capitals) you type the two things mentioned on the guide and press next next next. Then you continue the SAP installation.
    Of course, those are the simplified versions
    No response file is generated "ever". The response file comes INSIDE the installation CDs, for that reason is very important to execute the EXACT commands mentioned on the installation guides, in order to use such, already existing, response file.
    I do not understand this need of super-hiper detailed step by step guides.
    If you get one like that, then it will be obsolete after one month because there are new Oracle parameters, new oracle patches/patch sets or new .... that have to be done

  • Request for proper order to follow for Oracle installation

    Hi,
    Previously, there was Oracle 11g R1 Enterprise edition was installed with custom database (win32_11gR1_database_1013) on non-clustered windows 2003 enterprise sp2 enviornment.
    We are going to make 2 nodes windows clustered enviornment and it would be active-passive mode
    We don't want Oracle RAC. We only want oracle 11 g R1 installed on both nodes of windows cluster and windows clustering featuring to look after active - passive mode. We only want single instance database.
    Currently we are discussing the keep the current Oracle database going and make the current node as node 1(active node) of the cluster. we will arrange another server and that would be node 2 (passive mode)
    I appreciate any help on what we are currently discussing is;
    The following steps are in chronological order
    1. We already have Oracle installed on node 1 and also oracle instance running on the node 1 (instance name is Alt_Prod)
    2. This database and oracle server files (i.e. control files and redo log files are stored in shared storage, not on local drives of node 1)
    3. We will make the Alt_Prod service offline from windows >> Administrative Tools >> services option (please ask if any other services to be made offline?)
    4. We will switch to node 2 of the cluster and will install Oracle without database (i.e. during installation we will select software only option).
    5. We will install oracle files either on local drive of node 2 or on shared storage drives
    6. Once installation complete, we will return back to node 1
    7. We will open the cluster administration option and will create generic service for Alt_Prod service inside the cluster administrator.
    8. Same point 7 will be followed on node 2
    Please add / amend where ever I’m wrong.
    Thanks in advance

    Basically a FailSafe environment just using only Windows Clustering. I've used that in the past with Oracle8i, hope it works out better for you on Oracle11gR1. I believe you will still need to license the 2nd node if you use it for more than 10 days in the year, if using this setup you are trying to avoid license costs.
    1. We already have Oracle installed on node 1 and also oracle instance running on the node 1 (instance name is Alt_Prod)
    2. This database and oracle server files (i.e. control files and redo log files are stored in shared storage, not on local drives of node 1)
    3. We will make the Alt_Prod service offline from windows >> Administrative Tools >> services option (please ask if any other services to be made offline?)
    Resp: All Oracle services on the node should be down, such as the listener. However this could be step 4 and hence reduce downtime.
    4. We will switch to node 2 of the cluster and will install Oracle without database (i.e. during installation we will select software only option).
    5. We will install oracle files either on local drive of node 2 or on shared storage drives
    Resp: I would install the Oracle software on local storage for each node so you can minimize downtime while patching (simply switch over to the other node with the updated software, and patch the other). You can still do this using shared storage for the Oracle Home via having two Oracle Homes on the shared storage (one primary the other backup), but that adds some more complexity.
    6. Once installation complete, we will return back to node 1
    Resp: You don't need this step, make step 3 into step 4 and reduce outages
    7. We will open the cluster administration option and will create generic service for Alt_Prod service inside the cluster administrator.
    Resp: Don't forget you will need to make the Oracle data disks, listener, and agent cluster monitored resources as well with dependencies.
    8. Same point 7 will be followed on node 2
    Resp: I'm not that familiar with Windows Clustering anymore, but I think you only need to do this once, and just failover for testing. Your cluster/server admin will know better.
    Hope this helps.

  • Versions for Oracle installation over Linux

    We are working for a project in the university, and basically we want to install Oracle over Linux, and develop some web applications. Before we start this project, I would like to learn which Oracle(8i or 9i) and Linux (Red Hat or Mandrake) versions would work fine and perfectly together. Since this project will be time consuming, I would rather take a right decision before we get into details.
    I would be glad if anybody share that kind of experience,
    Thanks in advance,

  • EPMA Server not starting for New Installation of EPM 11.1.2.2.0

    Hi i am having problem of EPMA Server not getting started .... i installed many times and configured but problem still persists that's first time i am installing the EPM suite so plz bear me for any stupid questions.....
    I am using :
    Oracle Version: 11.2.0.1.0
    EPM Version: 11.1.2.2.0
    Note:
    1. While installing Oracle Client i used first option to install "Oracle Instant Client " with minimum configuration.
    2. While configuring Database in " EPM System Configurator" window...in Server name it was not taking exact server name instead was taking "localhost". So i used localhost...Can this be an issue?
    In EPM Configuration I got message that "Oracle data access client not installed" is it related to EPM Server.
    I am confused about installation is "ODAC" and "Oracle Data Access Client" are same or different. As i am not getting "Oracle Data Access Client" to download.
    I just want " Essbase , Planning and Reporting Applications".
    Please do help as i need to solve this problem urgently.
    Thanks in Advance.
    -Sushil

    Is this a personal install of the EPM? If so you may need to install the MS Loopback adaptor for Oracle db first
    For EPMA it may be easier just to install the full Oracle Client as it should work then.
    Cheers

  • ISO unit EA cannot be converted unambiguously to an SAP unit for E1KONP

    Hi,
    I am facing issue with unit of measure while posting idoc in inbound processing( BD20) it is throughing the error message is of status 51 " ISO unit EA cannot be converted unambiguously to an SAP unit for E1KONP " .
    pls help to resolve the issue
    Regards,
    Naveen

    My guess is that the conversion factors for the unit EA are missing or maintained incorrectly. They are probably in material master (MM03). Or some unnecessary field is filled in in the IDoc.
    Also check if there is a long text for the message - sometimes it helps.
