SAP DBA Cockpit for Sybase ASE/IQ/RS

SAP has adjusted the lately cockpit to work with Sybase ASE (IQ?/RS?).
Is there a trial version available for inspection? Will the cockpit be distributed like SC/SCC to the customers in the long run?
Those responsible for the distribution, I'd appreciate your comment on this.
Thank you.

Unable to install Client Tools for Sybase ASE 15.7 on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit

Hello Folks,
I just downloaded the client tools package from https://support.sap.com/swdc --> Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z list --> SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE --> SYBASE ASE 15.7 --> Installation --> Microsoft Windows --> 51044415.zip
I'm trying to install the client tools for a newly provisioned Windows 2012 64-Bit machine. After unzipping the folder and running autorun, the installation does not proceed. When I go to pcclient64 and run either setup.exe or setupConsole.exe, I get the error "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit, Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)". I stumbled across various posts on the forum, and it appears that the installer is not certified for Windows Server 2012. I tried using the compatibility mode for Windows 7, and it proceeds further and launches the SAP GUI; however, it closes afterwards.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
51044415 is a PC-Client 15.7 refresh.
You are using a version that was not certified with Windows 2012. Get the most current version PC-Client 15.7 SP130 or SDK 15.7 SP130 or SP132.
If your looking for PC-Client5.7 SP130 look for EBF23439
We didn't get certified with Windows 2012 until SDK 15.7 ESD#6 even with that I reported a few minor issues.
You need the following on the machine before the installation.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)

Sap HA installation with Sybase Ase 15.7 (Clustered Environment)

Dear Guru's,
I need advice and suggestions on installation for Sap HA systems on production servers with sybase .
System Specs:
OS:Windows 2008 R2
Database :Sybase ASE 15.7
EHP6
I have referred the note 1650511 and getting started with Sybase Database but its just basic info .I need to know how the clustering will be done with Sybase Ase 15.7 and is it possible??
Appreciate your suggestions

Hi Asim,
1. Datafiles & log files assignment while installation According to the HW partition size for production servers we have assigned 3 data files of 250 gb each in different drives on a server
The existing export we are trying to take is from development system where we have upgraded the stack and compo.nents to latest level so we are planning to take the export copy of for database instance and
the database itself is Syabse Ase 15.7.And at this phase screen according to the screen by default the system ask to assign 102 gb for datafiles and log files 1gb Minimum , so in that case can we no t
assign more log file size .However we have not started the installation and we will expereince the same as we have done on Develeopment and quality system which is central sap system and we need to confirm we if can do for production HA system installation
Yes, you may assign more space in advance to datafiles and log file. What the screen shows is the minimum required space to successfully complete the import.
2.On the other hand , If we are doing fresh HA installation ,it will ask for 90 GB datafile and 10 G by default to assign and in this how we going to assign and split in 3 different drives which is of 150 GB
each.
Your Development system has been patched to latest level. Hence there is change in database size in development as compared to fresh HA setup where no patches have been applied. You may add 3 datafiles in each of these drives and assign the size which you prefer. Ensure its more than 10GB.
3.Getting confused in assigning the CI DI ,ERS ,ASCS on node 1 and node 2.
You may follow this simple approach
Node 1: DB + ERS + CI
Node 2: ASCS + DI
4.Is it good decision to do fresh HA installation on production server and lateron upgrade the stack level or does it matter if do system copy as it will save the time .
There is no issue in going with system copy approach as it will save time. If you are not comfortable with system copy method and do not have good command on DB, I shall suggest you to go with fresh installation and then apply patches. This way you are sure there is no junk coming to your production . In system copy , In case your source system has some junk data, the same might get transferred to production.
Hope this helps.

Tuning vxfs on Linux for Sybase ASE 15.7

Hi
Due to some requirements for storage encryption, we have to move from raw devices to vxfs filesystems for Sybase devices
Storage is SAN based, operating system: RedHat Enterprise Linux with 2.6 kernel, Veritas cluster
Based on whitepaper Managing Workload with ASE (great doc!)
I've been looking into tuning vxfs filesystem and mount options, so far I've got this list:
- fs-aio-max-nr = 1048576
- fs-file-max = 6291456
- increase queue depth from 128 to 1024 in /sys/block/<dev>/queue/nr_requests
- use NOOP scheduler
Enable VxFS kernel option: vx_allow_cloned_naio:
options vxfs vx_allow_cloned_naio=1
Create filesystem:
- align block size with Sybase page size
- enable large files
mount options:
- enable large files
- enable directio
- enable cio
- noatime
- disable journaling (nolog)
What's the impact of using nolog in case of server reboots?
Is this going to cause long fsck times?
What would be good config for option ioerror ?
Let ASE handle any I/O errors?
Any other suggestions?
e.g. pre-allocating files to avoid fragmentation, minimize amount of i-nodes (only few large files)
thanks

Hi Jeroen,
Please refer SAP note 1680803.
It includes Best_Practises_SAP_ASE.pdf file and you can find some recommendation.
1680803 - SYB: Migration to SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise - Best
Practice
Yes, ASE can handle i/o errors related disk and newtowrk i/o.

DBA Cockpit Sybase ASE - Access Plan not displayed

Hello,
We are running SAP ECC 740 on Sybase ASE 15.7, I'd previously used DBA Cockpit to view access plans for queries prior to our ECC upgrade. Since upgrading to 740 DBA Cockpit has had a facelift, and now I can't see an Access Plan when I try clicking "Show Plan" on the cached statements or when I try clicking EXPLAIN in ST05 - I just get a red cross (see attached image).
Does anyone have any ideas about how to view the access plan? If I try a Runtime Explain I get a blue spinning half-a-loop and it just sits spinning and never displays anything.
Thanks, Chris

Solution Manager EHP 1 SP22 - DBA Cockpit Configuration Wizard

Hi,
When trying to "Configure DBA Cockpit" in Managed System Configuration ,I got the below error .
We are on Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and Solution Manager SP22.
Database history :Not supported for this DB platform
Extractors activation :The DB performance warehouse is not available, thus the DB extractors were not activated
Please let me know if i need to perform any more additional steps.
Thanks in advance.....
Srini

"Database Performance Warehouse was not set up"
"Not supported for this DB platform"
For Oracle databases there is no support for Database Performance Warehouse in EHP1. With EHP2 the Oracle platform will be supported as well with some reports in the Solution Manager UI.
Basically the database performance warehouse is a project to collect and extract performance data to the SAP Solution Manager BI system. Once the data was loaded in to this BI you can use DBA Cockpit for detailed analysis. In EHP2 of SAP Solution Manager you will be able to also use the SAP Solution Manager UIs to analyze the database performance and workload.
If you are more interested in this feature you are very welcome to have a look at some articles available in SDN:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6
For now you have full support for DB2 for LUW and MS SQL Server platforms and a more limited set of reports for SAP MaxDB and DB2/z.
I hope this clarifies your question.

High Availability Concepts in Sybase ASE

Hi,
I want to perform the log shipping and database mirroring process for Sybase ASE. I finished the Replication system for ASE using Replication server. But I need to know about log shipping and database mirroring too. Anybody know about those. Thank you

Hi,
You need Sybase Replication Server for this. This is a separate product and requires to become familiar in order to build your first Replication environment. There are some videos on youtube (SAP D&T I think, I am afraid this moment youtube is cut off for me)

Reducing the memory footprint of Sybase ASE

Hello All,
We are doing a test install of SAP Solution Manager 7.01 on Sybase ASE 15.7.
Since this is just a test setup, we started off with a lower-than-recommended hardware configuration (4 GB RAM only) due to time constraints.
While post install performance of SolMan was decent, performance during solman_setup (setting up technical monitoring) has become appalling. We are not able to complete the configuration process at all as the SolMan configuration web application has become very unpredictable and extremely slow.
The SolMan install is centralized and on a windows 2008 box. Windows task manager shows consistent memory usage of up to 90 - 95%. We also tried reducing the total number of work processes to just 8 but that did not help much. We see in 'task manager > resource monitor' that sqlserver.exe process is committing close to 2 GB of RAM when in fact it seems to be using much lesser when seen directly in 'task manager > process tab'. Please tell us about any memory optimization we can perform for Sybase ASE in order to complete out Solman_setup. We were hoping that we could change the 'max memory'/'total logical memory' setting for the DB directly using DBACOCKPIT tcode but could not do so as the parameters seems to be read-only. We could not find much documentation regarding memory optimization for the DB. Please help out. Thanks!
-Regards,
Arvind

FWIW ... ASE's 'max memory' setting can be changed on the fly, while 'total logical memory' is a calculated value that you cannot change (ie, it's 'read only'; changing 'max memory' will cause 'total logical memory' to change automatically). [NOTE: DBACOCKPIT is a SAP-provided application that sits on top of ASE; while I know what's doable when connected directly to ASE I do not know if DBACOCKPIT has disabled the ability to change some configuration settings like 'max memory'.]
As for the SolMan performance issues ... I'd recommend reposting your issue in the SAP Applications on ASE discussion group where you're likely to get the attention of more folks with SAP application (on ASE) experience. (While someone may jump in here with SolMan suggestions, SolMan is a SAP application and this group isn't really geared towards SAP applications.)

DBA Cockpit shows incorrect space information

Hi all,
We have an NW04s with SP12 on Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g. The new DBACOCKPIT is introduced with the SP which supposedly replace many of the database administratrive transasactions (db02, st04, db13, etc.).
The problem we have is the space information is not showig. Using tcode db02 (becomes db02old in SP12) the information is still there.
The following steps that supposedly rectify the issue has been followed:
1. SAPNOTE 1027146 - Monitoring remote system prerequisites
   a. Imported the latest kernel patch.
   b. Migrate the system configuration of the old central planning calendar
2. SAPNOTE 1028624 - DBA Cockpit for Oracle
   a. SAPNOTE 706927 - Installation Script for DBA Cockpit
   b. BR*Tools 700 patch level 24
   c. SAPNOTE 1028068 - Oracle Active Workload Repository
   d. APPLIED SAPNOTE 1042725
   e. APPLIED SAPNOTE 1046668
   f. IMPORT TRANSPORT From SAPNOTE 1052909
Any input or suggestions will be highly appreciated.

thanks & regards
ajay

Hi Ajay,
Check Note 1028624 - Overview of DBA Cockpit for Oracle, there's a attachment in this note with docu, also read the referred notes, This should guide you in setting it up.
In addition you can still run the old "DB02" which has moved to Tcode "DB02_OLD".

Download Sybase ASE 15.7 for BS: SAP or Sybase ASE?

Hi!
I planning to install (system copy) an NW70EHP2 system with Sybase. There are two types of Sybase ASE installation materials:
What type of recommended for the installation? The SAP ASE or the Sybase ASE?
Thank you!
Regards
Janos

Hi Janos,
"Sybase ASE" was renamed to "SAP ASE" so don't let the names bother you. What you install will be somewhat driven by what you are running today and what you want from the new version. If you don't have any current install, then you should use SP110, even though it is older than SP61.
If you have a current install that is SPxx (2-digit number), you can move to SP61 and get bug fixes and a few little features. You can also move to SP1xx (3-digit number) and you get more new features that are not included in SPxx. If you have SP1xx, do not move down to SPxx.
After you click on "Sybase", click "Database Patches" (not "Database"), then "Sybase ASE 15.7 for Bus Suite", then "Windows on x64 64bit". Here you will see SP103, SP110, and SP61.

Mark Kusma
