SAP BO Installation with Oracle Database

Hello all,
My client uses SAP R/3 with Oracle database. Now we have to install Business Objects on another machine.
I've read the documentation on Installing Procedures but there are some questions still not clarified.
1. Do I have to install Oracle in the new machine?
2. If not, can I connect BOBJ to the database of the SAP R/3 Server?
3. If I want to have three systems (Like in R/3, Productive, Tests and Development) do I have to install BOBJ in different machines?
Thanks in advance,
Regards

1. you dont have to insall Oracle database at the BO machine side, you just need any database to hold the BO repository.
2. you cant connect directly using BO, only Crystal reports can connect directly to R3 database, you need to have a BW in between.
extract your data into the BW, and let BO connect to BW using the BO integration kit for SAP solutions.
3. no you dont have to have 3 different machines, using one BO machine you connect to them all, but you may need build a BO environment, (Development, Production servers)
good luck

Problem in SAP Server installation with Oracle DB

Hi,
We are working in SAP Server installation with Oracle DB. After some steps in our Process it is asking for a DVD called RDBMS DVD CLIENT ORACLE. We are trying to download in Service market place. But we could not get the Correct DVD for the installation. Please help in this issue. Where do we get the DVD to continue our SAP Server installation.
We are struck with our SAP Server installation. Please consider this issue as very urgent.
thanks in advance.

Mohankumar.G

Hello Mohan,
Please specify which installation your are doing otherwise it is difficult to provide you
the correct path.
For eg if you are doing NW04's installation then path will be
downloads->entry by application group->Installations and Upgrades->SAP NetWeaver-> SAP NETWEAVER-> SAP NETWEAVER 2004S->according to OS/DB (there is oracle client cd)select the cd.
hope it helps..

SAP fresh installation with Oracle 11.2

Dear all,
Do you know if it's already possible to install a new SAP system with Oracle 11.2.
I'm trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 ehp1 with Oracle 11.2.
The problem is that SAPINST does not give me the possibility to choose oracle version 11.2. Only 10.2 is possible. (I patched SAPINST to the last version)
If I select 10.2 SAPINST gives an error "The DB Home folder I:\oracle\PSM\112 has not the correct DB Server version 102. Select a different DB Home folder or install the correct database server software."
Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Olivier

Hello,
New installations of systems running with Oracle 11.2 are planned to be certified by early Q4 2010.
For key information on the status of Oracle 11.2 database, read SAP Notes 1398634 and 1434131.
Thanks & regards,

P6 Professional 8.3 installation with Oracle Database

Hi All,
I had query about P6 professional installtion.
If i select Driver type "Microsoft SQL Server" system is allowing me to enter "Host Name" of database server.
But if i select Driver type "Oracle" it is not asking for Host Name of database server.
If my database is present on other server how to give server name here?

Hi,
This is down to a fundamental difference between SQL Server and Oracle.
SQL Server is pretty much always referenced with servername and database name (and the port number unless the \<instance name> is used as part of the server name)
Oracle uses more of an 'Alias' (TNS Names).
If you ever need to start working with Oracle DB Standard or Enterprise edition then you will soon learn to be configuring the tnsnames.ora file (which is where you will find the 'Alias' mapped to the server and database name).

BOBI 4.1 SP2 installation with oracle database

HI,
In our landscape, we have installed installed oracle 11g and we have installed BOBI 4.1 with oracle system user ID for both CMS and Audit. We havent create any separate schema for CMS and Audit database. It was runninf fine but recently we are facing lot of DB issues. Can anyone please help me to conclude whether we have to create separate schema for CMS and Audit or we can user oracle system user ID for both CMS and Audit. Anyone help is highly appreciated. And also please suggest if we use the oracle system ID, whether we will face any issues in future or impacts.....
Thanking you in anticipation.
Obinna

Hi,
technically it works with the System schemas. But this is far away from Best Practices!
The standart is to create a own User/Schema for the CMS DB and the Audit DB. The User gets full privileges on his Schema and you are fine.

SAP ECC6.0 installation with Oracle RAC

Hi Expert,
Current we working on SAP ECC6.0 installation with Oracle 10G RAC on AIX 5.3. The RAC are running on two nodes (servers). And we are using GPFS filesystem (not running on HACMP).
Overall we had completed the Oracle RAC installation (CRS+RDBMS) and tested the oracle failover and it work find. Now we want to start with the SAP installation (with HA). In the SAP installation documentation, it did request to create a virtual hostname on the node and execute the sapinst scripts with below command line.
#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=ascs00
But if we are running on Oracle RAC + GPFS do we need to specify the virtual hostname? If not, which hostname i should use to install the HA for SAP? Please advice.
Regards.

And then I'd continue with the documentation at:
SAP on Oracle => SAP on Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)
There you can find several installation guides for windows/UNIX/Linux

Installation BOBJ XI 3 on UNIX ( Sun Solaris ) with Oracle database

Hi All,
I want to deploy and install BOBJ XI Enterprise 3.1 on Sun Solaris with oracle database.
My question is, do we need to add some oracle licenses stuff in BOBJ XI Enterprise server or we just using a connection from Sun Solaris to oracle database ?
Pls Advise,
Rgds,
Denny

Hi Denny,
the risk is the same whatever DB server you are using. Once you have a setup where more than one application access the server, overload caused by one application can influence the performance of the other ones. You have to check if your DB vendor offers tools to monitor and limit the load on your DB server. But we are talking hypothetically now. I would recommend to check what's the actual load on your oracle DB server. If the server is not working at the limit (let's over 80% all the time), then I think that you can try to install BOBJ also in an existing oracle instance on the oracle server. You can reduce the risk and make the maintenance easier if you setup a dedicated oracle instance on your DB server just for the BOBJ repository.

Problem with ORACLE database

Hi all,
I am facing some problem with ORACLE database while configuring one JDBC scenario in the receiver side. I have configured one JDBC scenario like FILE TO JDBC. As JDBC is at receiver side i have provided the input file with the following format ,
<root>
<StatementName1>
     <dbTableName action="INSERT">
         <table>employee</table>
          <access>
                <flag>NO</flag>
                <ID>567</ID>
         <NAME>134</NAME>
             </access>
     </dbTableName>
</StatementName1>
</root>
But in the ORACLE database all my columns are in the uppercase.
So when i have tried to send this input file to process through JDBC receiver side then i have faced the below error :
FATAL ERROR: Column 'flag' does not exist in table 'employee'
Then I have tried to check with sender side processing of JDBC adapter. By using the SQL statements as
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE flag='NO'
UPDATE EMPLOYEE SET Flag='YES' WHERE flag='NO'
Here it worked fine.
Now my question is,
If the same adapter is working when we are writing a query directly(sender side), then we must also allow case independence in the auto generated SQL part(receiver side).
The JDBC drivers for both SQL server and Oracle, supports the same java code, for accessing the DB, irrespective of the case of the column names.
Please clarify this doubt as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Soorya.

Hi Dharmaveer,
When I go with the following input file,
<root>
<StatementName1>
     <dbTableName action="INSERT">
         <table>EMPLOYEE</table>
          <access>
                <FLAG>NO</FLAG>
                <ID>666</ID>
                <NAME>SSS</NAME>
             </access>
         </dbTableName>
</StatementName1>
</root>
I will get the following query with succesfull processing.
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE (FLAG, ID, NAME) VALUES (NO, 666, SSS)
when i go with this input file,
<root>
<StatementName1>
     <dbTableName action="INSERT">
         <table>EMPLOYEE</table>
          <access>
                                <flag>NO</flag>
                               <ID>777</ID>
                    <NAME>TTTT</NAME>
                    </access>
               </dbTableName>
</StatementName1>
</root>
Then i am facing this problem,
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error processing request in sax parser: Error when executing statement for table/stored proc. 'EMPLOYEE' (structure 'StatementName1'): java.sql.SQLException: FATAL ERROR: Column 'flag' does not exist in table 'EMPLOYEE'
Here I cant get any SQL statement as it is not successfull.
I have gone through your link but it also says to modify the column in the input file which is not possible for me. Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks,
Soorya

Companion CD installation - getting Oracle Database 10g installation

Hi everyone,
I want to install the Oracle Companion CD (to use HTTP server and HTMLDB) on Solaris with Oracle Database 10g. I downloaded the companion CD and when running the installer I am getting "Welcome to the Oracle Database 10g Installation". I have already installed the database so my question is why the installer is asking me to install another database ? The documentation is explaining that the user would have the choice to select an HTTP server installation.
Best regards,
Othman

Get the companion CD from the same place as the database. Start at http://otn.oracle.com, click on Downloads, and to to the Database download
Get the step by step instructions from the documentation. Start at http://tahiti.oracle.com, go to the database documentation for the version you are using, click on the Books tab, search for "Companion CD Installation Guide for [your operating system]" or "Companion CD Quick Installation Guide for [your operating system]" and follow the steps.
I strongly encourage you to install ONLY the HTTP server from the companion CD, and to install it into a separate ORACLE_HOME.
After that, I suggest you use APEX instead of HTMLDB (APEX is the next generation of HTMLDB and is MUCH better.) To get that going, start at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html and look at "Documentation and Tutorials" for the installlation guide.
