SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

Hi,
I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
Is this a limitation, a by design ?

Hans,
The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server.  The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone.  SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free.  Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

  • Best practice for data migration install v1.40 - Error 2732 Directory manag

    Hi
    I'm attempting to install SAP Best Practice for Data migration 1.40 on Win Server 2008 R2 (64 bit).
    Prerequisite error
    Installation program stops with missing file error
    The following file was not found
    ... \migration\InstallationWizard\BusinessObjects Data Services\setup.exe
    The file is necessary for successful installation. Please connect to internet or refer to Quick Guide (available on SAP note 1527151) for information regarding the above file.
    Windows installer log displays
    Error 2732 Directory Manager not initialized
    SAP note 1527151 does not exist or is internal.
    Any help appreciated  on what is the root cause of the error as the file does not exist in that folder in the installation zip file.
    Other prerequisite of .NET 3.5.1 met already.
    Patch is released since 20.11.2011 so I presume that it is a good installation set.
    Thanks,
    Alan

  • SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005

    Hi All,
    I want to load SAP Best Practice for Water Utilities on ERP2005. I have downloaded the package from Marketplace but there is NO transport file included on it. It only contains documentation. My questions are
    1. Does anyone know where I can download the transport file, if any?
    2. Should I use the transport file from Baseline Best Practice instead?
    Thank you,
    Bomo

    Hello!
    The file should contain eCATTs with data according to best practice preconfigured scenarios and transactions to install them.
    Some information about preconfigured scenario you could find here:
    http://help.sap.com/bp_waterutilv1600/index.htm -> Business Information -> Preconfigured Scenarios
    Under the "Installation" path you could find "Scenario Installation Guide" for Water Utilities.
    I hope it would be helpful.

  • Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal

    Hi,
    We are implementing EP for ECC 5.0 and we have to web enable some FI transactions like FB50/fb60 etc. We want to use standard business package for this. The only business package that caters this requirement is "Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal 60.1". When i checked the data source for this business package, the specification is for "SAP R/3 4.6B and above". Does this work for ECC 5.0 as well? In general does the R/3 specific business packages work for ECC versions? Please let me know. Thanks for the help.  I promise rewards.
    Regards
    Hari

    Hari,
    When you download the BPO via Portal Content Portfolio,
    each bpo has additional information on the release.

  • SAP Best Practice for Chemicals in an oil refinery

    Does anyone have experience in implementing the SAP Best Practice for Chemicals in an oil refinery that will also use IS-OIL?
    What would be the pros and cons?
    What is the implementation price of considering a best practice solution for a large complex organization?
    Oded Dagan

    Hi Oded,
    I don't know about any Best Practice Chemicals implementation in an refinery so far.
    But you can use Best Practice Chemicals with SAP IS-Oil for the non IS-Oil functionality as well.
    Best Practice Chemicals gives you benefits within standard business processes, but for the
    IS-Oil business processes you have to consider the traditon implementation methods.
    Best Practice Chemicals gives you a broad business process set, usually used in Chemical
    corporation. If you can cover 50% of your needed business processes out of Best Practice Chemicals you save approx 50% implementation time. It is not only implemenentation you save a lot in documentation and training material as well. Most of our Best Practice Chemicals implemenations used
    60-80% out of Best Practice Chemicals. At a large corporation the percentage of standard ERP processes is normally smaller, because of other additional needed SAP solutions e.g. APO, SRM, CRM etc.

  • SAP Best Practice For Unicode Upgrades - NetWeaver 2004s

    Team SAP,
    I have a customer that is starting to plan for a Unicode upgrade.  The question from the customer is as follows:
    What is the SAP Best Practice for Unicode Upgrades?  They will be upgrading from a BW 3.5 System to NetWeaver 2004s, and their question is ... should they:
       a) Perform the Unicode Upgrade At The Same Time As Their BW 3.5 > NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade, or
       b) Perform NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade first, and then at a later date, perform the Unicode Upgrade?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance or counsel you may be able to offer.

  • SAP Best Practices for Payroll

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a SAP ECC6.0 version installed at our client side. My Client is developing a software for SAP Payroll. They want to run Payroll in their SAP system to figure out few things. SAP has recommended to install SAP Best Practices for HCM to get some test data. My questions to you all are:-
    1) SAP best Practices do provide preconfigured settings and some amount of Test Data. How will I install SAP Best Practices for HCM at my client System. Please do tell me in detail because I dont have any knowledge how to proceed as I a SAP HCM functional consultant. We dont have any basis consultant in our team.
    2) How long it can take to install SAP Best Practices for HCM and the complete proceedure to do it?
    3) Is it true that the test data provided by SAP BP and the pre configured base settings will be sufficient to run Payroll. Mind it,my client does not want to run payroll as per their needs,they just want to see how it is run in SAP with the SAP test data.
    I would really appreciate if you guyz can provide me any knowledge related to this matter.
    Thanks a ton
