SAP BW Vesrsion for Oracle

In some book (I think from SAP press), I was reading that SAP BW/BI has a special vesrion for Oracle which takes advantage of Oracle fetaures instead of using open SQL (which supports many databases using same SQL). Can someone provide more information on it.

Prem,
The features of Oracle are made use of according to the SAPDBA patch level being used - look for the SAP DBA patch levels in the BW server and accordingly the features are streamlined / utilized.. am not sure if there is any special version for SAP that too released by Oracle... seems unlikely... but then you could see if there is anything along these lines for DB6 or MaxDB...

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.
Regards
k

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

How to configure SAP 4.7 to Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster ?

We are using SAP 4.7 running on Oracle 9i with HP-UNIX clustering.
If we change our existing SAP 4.7 for Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster, is it very complicated ?
Do we need to re-install SAP and Oracle ?

Both 4.7 and Oracle 9 are already out of support.
If you plan to use RAC then I'd first upgrade the application and the database and then implement RAC. You won't have support for your environment without additional costs.

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

How to connect from SAP on DB2 for i5/OS to external oracle database

Hello,
I managed to retrieve data from an external DB2 for i5/OS database using ABAP Native SQL running on another i5/OS server.
I also managed to retrieve data from an external oracle database using ABAP Native SQL running on another Windows/Oracle server.
Now i want to use ABAP Native SQL running on an i5/OS and retrieve data from an external Oracle database?
I suppose i need software to connect fron I5/OS to this oracle database like you need extra software when you want to connect to an i5/OS database if you are running SAP on Windows (read note 751451)
Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance
Bertil Rebergen

Hello Bertil,
to access an Oracle database from within an SAP system you'll need SAP's database interface library specific for Oracle plus the Oracle database client library utilized by SAP's database interface library. Both need to be available for the operating system your application server runs on, i.e. IBM i5/OS in your scenario.
Since the required Oracle database client software is not available for IBM i5/OS your SAP application servers on IBM i5/OS cannot access your Oracle database.
To overcome this limitation you would need to add at least one additional SAP application server based on Windows or Linux/Power to your current SAP system utilizing IBM DB2 for i5/OS. Since the required software libraries are available for these two operating systems you will be able to solve your problem this way.
Best Regards, Christian Hoelters, SAP AG.

Good book for Oracle with SAP

We run SAP on Oracle 9.
We lost our dba for oracle / sap.
I am a sql server person and new to oracle.
Can anyone recommend any good books on just oracle or even
something with oracle and SAP ?
Thanks,

PS: Does not have to be the latest oracle 11 but anything at 9/10. I need to really pick up on using SQLPlus, and understand the files associated with oracle: table spaces, redo logs, archives, etc.

Insert /delete data from SAP Z table to Oracle table and opposite

Hi,
Can u help me write this FM from the SAP side?
So, I have two tables ZTABLE in SAP and Oracle table ORAC.
Let's put three columns in each of them, for example
TEL1
TEL2
ADRESS
NAME
where TEL field is primary from ZTABLE to ORAC...
(in FM there shoud be abap code for writing data in ZTABLE after we press some pushbutton made in sap screen painter..)
for example, when we write new record in ZTABLE
00
112233
Street 4
Name1
this data shoud be inserted in Oracle table ORAC.
when we write new record in Oracle table for example
01
445566
New Street
Name2
this data shoud be inserted in ZTABLE.
Field TEL1 can be only of two values 01 or 02, other combination is not valid...
I must have all data from Oracle table ORAC in ZTABLE and opposite.
It should be the same scenario for DELETE...
And this communication should be online between sap and table in oracle database...
Can u help me from sap side? and give idea how to configure on oracle side??
Thanks a lot,
Nihad

I dont know if we can directly connect to a oracle database ( wait for the answers from others on this )
but in XI we have the JDBC adaptor to insert and retrieve data.
so for the outbound from SAP the flow can be something like this (with XI in landscape):
1) You have a screen to maintain a new entry / delete an entry
2) On save , this record gets saved or deleted from the Ztable in SAP
3)) In the same screen you can call a proxy class-method (generated using SPROXY transaction ) to send the record to XI.
4) XI to format it and insert into the oracle table
