SAP BI 4.0 SP2 on Linux and Postgresql Datasource via JDBC drivers

Hi,
I installed SAP BI Platform 4.0 SP2 on Redhat 5.2 and i try to access as a universe datasource a postgresql database (v8.4). But i don't know how to configure the postgresql JDBC driver on linux server.
does anyone have a step by step procedure to configure this JDBC postgresql driver on linux ?
I download this driver : http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar
I read the SAP Data Access document for SAP BI 4.0 SP2 about JDBC connexions, they talk about a SBO file located in $ROOT_DIR/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/jdbc , but there isn't any SBO file for postgresql database ?
Thanks in advance
JP

Hi
I found a solution alone, this note 1347514 helps me :
My conf : Redhat 5.2 + SAP BI 4.0 SP2 + postgresql 8.4 datasource + jdbc drivers
My solution :
1) Download JDBC drivers on client side (http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar)
2) Create and export a JDBC connexion for postgresql8
3) Create and export a universe using this connexion (test a query in universe design tool tools/Querybuilder)
4) install JDBC drivers on server side, i copied the jar file in this location : $ROOT_DIR/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/drivers/java/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar
5) Set your classpath in your .profile : CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/export/logiciels/tes-boxi/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/dataAccess/connectionServer/drivers/java/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc3.jar; export CLASSPATH
6) Source your .profile
7) Restart servers (i think restarting only webi server would be ok)
8) Open BI LaunchPad, start Webi and execute a query on postgresql universe
It Works with my configuration
Thanks for your help

IRIX and Oracle 7 Thin JDBC drivers

I have a question I think I have the answer for, but I am just
verifying it. The Oracel 7 Thin JBDC drivers will work on any
platfrom including IRIx right? The reason I ask is the site has
a download for Solaris and NT and I am not sure what the
difference is. Anyway, if someone knows for sure it would be a
great help to know.
Thanks,

Which version of Oracle's JDBC driver are you using? Have you tried using the 8.1.6 version of our JDBC driver?

Using IN and TABLE operators via JDBC

Greetings,
Hope this may be of benefit to someone.
Any and all feedback greatly appreciated.
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import oracle.sql.ARRAY;
import oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
* Tests an SQL query that uses the IN operator and the TABLE keyword.
* The TABLE keyword transforms a PL/SQL collection into a regular table.
* Hence a query can use the IN operator with a PL/SQL collection.
* A PL/SQL collection maps to a java array.
* Hence you can execute a query using a <code>PreparedStatement</code> and an
* array as the parameter value.
* Note, however, that the PL/SQL collection type <em>must</em> be a database
* named type, one that is defined using the CREATE TYPE [DDL] statement.
public class SqlQuery {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Connection c = null;
    Object[] oa = new Object[3];

Thanks a lot for your replies!
We've solved the issue by converting the de table of record type into a sys_refcursor.
The types are now defined globally (instead of in a package) and we wrote a wrapper around the original function:
create or replace type my_result_rec as object(
val1 number,
val2 number );
create or replace type my_result_tab is table of my_result_rec;
function my_function_wrapper(
    param1 in number,
    param2 in number
) return sys_refcursor is
    result sys_refcursor;
begin
    open result for
      select * from table(my_function(param1,param2));
    return result;
end;

Weblogic 5.1 and Oracle Database 10g JDBC Drivers

I need to know if there are JDBC drivers for Oracle Database 10g compatible with Weblogic Server 5.1.
Regards,

Hi. You should be able to use any JDBC driver with WebLogic 5.1.
It may be the JVM that complains, if you use too old a JVM...

Mixed sap environment linux and windows

Hello,
I have a question regarding a mixed SAP environment. At the moment we are running win 2003 and sql server 2000. 1 central instance and two dialog. Now somebody suggested to migrate the central instance to linux and maxdb and keep the windows dialog instances! I've never heard about an os mixed sap environment!
Is this common or do you know such environments? Please send your feedback and pro and cons to this suggestion!
Thank you in advance!
Does anyone knows how much the SAP migration service is?
Best regards,
Frank

Why migrate off of Windows O/S? I serve 1500 concurrent users along with 90,000 users on web services on commodity hardware ($20,000 per server), all running on Windows 2003 SP2 x64 with uptime of 99.9% per month.
Just wondering.
edit: To answer your question, SAP is an application level program which deals with different O/S via different kernels. However, from an SAP app to SAP app level, everything is done via TCP/IP pipes. Doesn't matter if that pipe is provided by Linux, Unix, or Windows.

Install SAP ERP 6.0 with Linux and Oracle RAC

Hi Guru,
I want to install SAP ERP 6.0 with Linux and Oracle RAC. Is this possible?
Where do I find information?
Thanks,
Hugo.

Hello Hugo,
You can use either RAC or dataguard. On note [105047|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/105047]:
14. Data Guard
    o You can use "Physical Standby".
    o You cannot use "Logical Standby".
    o You can use Data Guard Broker.
    o You can use Maximum Performance Mode, Maximum Availability Mode and Maximum Protection Mode.
    o In the case of Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection, you must pay particular attention to a fast network connection in order to avoid performance problems.
    o Maximum Protection causes the primary database to terminate if problems occur in the standby database.
60. Real Application Cluster (RAC)
    o You can use this feature in accordance with Note 527843.
Regards,
Eduardo Rezende

Running SAP on Linux and HP-UX

Hi
We are planning a new installation of ERP 6.0. The solution architect is advising to install the DB on HP-UX running oracle RAC, and to install the SAP application on a seperate server running LINUX. So the SAP kernel will live on a LINUX server and the DB will live on HP-UX server.
Does anybody know if there are any issues in doing this. Has anything been documented around performance etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Hi
This is an interesting question, personally i wouldn't mix platforms if it isn't necessary, even if you can keep your SAP kernel on linux. So it would be interesting to know, why your solution architect is suggesting such an installation. Lets look at some questions, they might guide you to the critical points:
- Besides the database are you going to implement SAP high availability? If yes, how?
- How are you going to do your filesystem backups? Do you have a backup environment which covers both hp-ux and linux?
- What is the reason to have SAP on linux and not simply have hp-ux instead?
I am convinced these questions are worth thinking about. So far i installed RAC within a homogenous linux environment with integrated enqueue replication. I also setup systems with database/ci on hp and linux application servers. But i did not mix that so far
Regarding performance: my experiences showed, that RAC is never faster than a single instance installation as long as you can buy a database server big enough, but with RAC you get high availability and you can scale on low cost hardware.
Best regards, Michael

Questions on Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2

Hi Friends,
My company is Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2 and I am heading the project starting from 1st June. I have downloaded the Installation guide and still have few questions
1) On which client we deploy BPC server component, I mean on 000 or any other.
2) Initially we are doing on Sandbox, so we are using only one system for both ABAP and NET servers and we are using 64bit machine. How do I run 1.1 Net framework on it, I have read installation guide it says configure to WOW6432 but dont know how to do it
3) When we download the ABAP server component what format will it be .SAR or .CAR or any other
Please do reply.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Hello Bobby,
1. You will install the BPC server component with SAINT, which has to be executed in client 000, but BPC will actually run in the client you designate for BW.
2. The following article discusses configuring ASP.NET 1.1 to run in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit system [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435]
3. The ABAP server component will be a SAR file.
Thank you,
Daniel

Analysing SAP Java Memory Usage in Unix/Linux

Hi,
I need to analyze the SAP Java memory usage of Unix /Linux machine..NW 7.0
Please guide with the commands and steps..complete prcedure.
Based on it I should decide whether to create a new server node (or) increasing heap size
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Do you have performance problems?
How many CPU's are in the server?
Did you check Log Configuration for delays or errors?
Did you tune any exisiting parameters?
You can add the nodes only if there is performance problems. You may think of adding one node to start with
Proper number of server nodes within an instance:
u2013 #ServerNodes = availableMemory / (JavaHeapPermSpaceStack)
You can calculate the server nodes based on below formula
No. of server Node = (RAM you want to assign or available RAM in GB)/2.5 ============> for 64-bit system
No. of server Node = (RAM you want to assign or available RAM in GB)/1.5 ============> for 32-bit system
Hence as per above discussion, we should go with 5 server nodes means,
5 = RAM/2.5 (Assuming you are on 64-bit platform)
i.e. RAM = 12.5 GB
2). u2013 Configure JVM heap according to Note 723909 and Note 1008311 - Recommended Settings for NW 7.0 >= SR2 for the AIX JVM (J9)

Migration from SAP BOBJ 3.1 SP2 to SAP BI 4.0

Hi,
Right now, we are on SAP BW 7.0 SP 20 and SAP BOBJ 3.1 SP2 and Crystal Reports 2008.
Our PROD environment has only Crystal Reports that point to SAP BW queries.
We have a future need of extending our BOBJ environment to develop some WebI reports and Explorer dashboards on an Oracle Data Mart.
We want to upgrade our SAP BOBJ 3.1SP 2 to SAP BI 4.0 . Can anyone let us know if SAP BW 7.0 SP20 is a supportable platform for SAP BI 4.0 and Crystal Reports 2011??
Thanks in advance
~Praneeth

Praneeth,
the answer is NO.
BW 7.01 SPS 06+ is the minimum version we support.with BI4.0 SP02.
