SAP & Oracle Backup Integration

Hi,
Have Oracle 10g as backend for database & Legato Backup Software has been installed on the server. Could anyone please let me know that if i use DB13 for taking online & offline backups how would it integrate with the Legato Backup Software & is there any special licences required for integration with SAP. Hoping to get a reply soon...

Hi
For Oracle Backups the preferred backup method is RMAN. I suggest you read docs for more information. Try focusing on incremental backups as you suggested space constraints.

SAP ORACLE BACKUP RESTORE

Hi all,
+Please assist me with a guideline of carrying out a backup restore,this is to test and ensure that we can be able to restore the backup in the case of a disaster. we perform a Full backup daily and are using BRTOOLS.+
Thank you.
Regards,

Hi,
you need to do the following
1) Copy the log files of the backup date which u want to restore.
2) Create controlfile from production using command alter system backup controlfile to trace;
3) restore the backup on target system using brrestore command.( assumption here is your target system is already installed)
For more details you need to refer help.sap.com

Data Protector backup integration fails after upgrade to Oracle 11.2.0.2

After upgrading a system from Oracle 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.2, the Data Protector backup integration fails with error

We checked the configuration, tried linking /oracle/client/11x_64 to 10x_64, removing the link and renewing the 10x_64 oracle client, but still Data Protector can't find the library libclntsh.so.10.1. A new system which was installed with Oracle 11.2.0.2 doesn't have any problems with online backups.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
did you create the other link according to the upgrade guide (point 5.5) ?
You need to create this link so that BR*Tools
(which is linked to the Oracle 10.2 client)
can use the newer Oracle 11.2 clients.
After the software installation has finished,
create a symbolic link in $ORACLE_HOME/lib as follows:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
ln u2013s libnnz11.so libnnz10.so
or (HP-UX)
ln u2013s libnnz11.sl libnnz10.sl
Volker
Second part: For the DP job, there can be set different environment settings inside the DP job.
Did you check if there are still relicts from the previous release ?
You could integrate a small pre-exec script into the job and let it plot the output of
id
env
set
to a logfile, just to see which values the backup is using.

Errors in Offline Backup via DB13 SAP & Oracle on Linux

OS: Linux Database : Oracle Systems Affected : Production & Disaster Recovery Server
Hi
We have offline backup scheduled every friday via SAP the backup runs fine & copies all the files in the backup directory but when i go see the backup logs in DB 14 i see the Offline Backup ending with Error Code 0005 & when i see the Detail logs i see following in red
BR0278E Command output of '/oracle/UHP/102_64/bin/sqlplus /nolog < /oracle/UHP/sapbackup/.beelhrfo.spi':

BR0302E SQLPLUS call for database instance UHP failed
BR0306E Start and open of database instance UHP failed
Also if i check the BRARCHIVE i see them ending with following errors in Detail Log

BR0222E Copying /oracle/UHP/saparch/archUHP.log to/from /backup/UHPARCH//UHP failed due to previous errors
Please also note that we have a Disaster Recovery Server too & the above mentioned errors are in our (Production )Primary Database & once this backu finished the DR Server stops getting any log files, this happens only when this offline backup on every friday runs,
Issues
The backup ends with errors although the backup file is generated & all data is copied
DR Server dont get redo log files after this offline backup on every friday

for the Cp errors i will see the permissions in backup/UHP ( this error is happening in online backup ) my main concern is the error occured in offline backup as it is somehow connected with our DR SERVER NOT GETTING THE LOG FILES EVEN AFTER THE SYSTEM IS UP ( yes if the primary is down no logs will be shipped to standby i know that but even after the primary is up after a offline backup via SAP via DB 13 the standby dont get any log files unless i restart the database and SAP )
So the error in the offline backup mentioned above in my post occurred at 29 OCT 15: 45 20
BR0302E SQLPLUS call for database instance UHP failed
BR0306E Start and open of database instance UHP failed
after this my primary database comes up & sap starts but the DR server dont get any logs & also the backup logs show the above errors in red
Given below is the text from Oracle alert file for the same time duration when the system tries to start the database & the above mentioned error comes up in opening the database time Stamp : OCT 29 15: 45 20
Deprecated system parameters with specified values:
log_archive_start
End of deprecated system parameter listing
This is the only oracle alert log errors i can find relevant to database instance errors from DB 14
moreover in the alert file it also starts the data broker service relevant to i guess DR server in that all seems fine it starts everything then it gives this error & then keeps giving errors ( from oracle alert log file )
Error 12154 received logging on to the standby

Oracle data integrator compatibility tool with sap 4.6 and 6.0?

Hi,
Please let me know if oracle data integrator compatibility tool is compartile with the sap 4.6 and 6.0 version?

If it's in SAP Standard, check OSS note.
If it's customer program modify
write statement for gemp-g_emp_with_2m01 UNDER text-h12 LEFT-JUSTIFIED
to
write statement for gemp-g_emp_with_2m01 UNDER text-h12 LEFT-JUSTIFIED CURRENCY "currency-field".

Oracle Backup tools

Hi Experts,
Plz guide me which is the best third party tool for backup & recover of database in Oracle and where can i get the trail version of this tool.
Thanx in Advance
Mani

Most people use RMAN nowadays, I don't think you need any other third party tools to do Oracle backup. Most storage vendor will try to make their tools to be integrated with RMAN rather than come up a new tool.
When it comes to backup/recovery of Oracle database nobody can do a better job than Oracle itself.

Move pictures in Jpg from a server to SAP (Oracle database) in BLOB

Hi SAP Friends,
We would like to know if this is possible.
We have pics in jpg/jpeg format in one server. We want to move these pics automatically once every hour to SAP Oracle database in BLOB format. The server has the capability to push these jpg files into BLOB format of Oracle database. We need to know if it is possible to send to SAP's Oracle database and store in BLOB format. If so, pl let us know how.
Pl let us know.
Niranjan

You are facing two things here:
a) Licensing issue
Check Note 581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions:
As of point 3, it follows that direct access to the Oracle database is only allowed for tools from the areas of system administration and monitoring. If other software is used, the following actions, among other things, are therefore forbidden at database level:
Creating database users
Create database objects
Querying/changing/creating data in the database
Using ODBC or other SAP external access methods
This depends on the contract and where you bought which licenses for Oracle.
b) Technical issues
It´s not a good idea to insert data into a SAP database without using SAP tools. Even if it´s a separate table(space) or "isolated" in a SAP understanding. You never know, how upgrades behave with that table, you may see the table in sense of SAP-DDIC consistency (Table without DDIC reference) etc.
If you want to insert JPEGs easily, you can use transaction CSADMIN, create a repository and write a small program, that uploads the data to the database using SAP standard interfaces. This will insure DATA integrity and will make sure, the data is accessible even after database/SAP system upgrades.

System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049 XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB
indind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPSYSTEM_ind_ind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPComponent_ind_ind_ind_

rmation or press OK to terminate the installation.
Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
a) If using a csh, enter:
       set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
b) If using a sh, enter:
       path=/usr/sbin:$path
       export path

** Regarding Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1(11.1.1.7.0)

Hi Experts,
I would like to Know regarding..
Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0)
Includes: Oracle Data Integrator Application Adapters for Hadoop, Oracle Applications, SAP ERP and BW (Hadoop is Newly added when compared with the older versions)
Which i found in the oracle downloads link and so i want to know the below points
1) What is the use of Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0)
2) if it is something like an additional adapter tool to be installed to access, where and how we need to install.
I would like to get the complete details and usage of this particular Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0).
Request you to kindly guide me..
Awaiting your inputs.
Many Thanks,
Pavan Kumar

Hi Pavan,
Oracle Data Integrator Companion 11gR1 (11.1.1.7.0) contains additional adapters for use with Hadoop, SAP etc which does not come with normal installation. However, you will need license for industry use of these adapters. This is especially good for a developer. However for server installs you must use one of the normal installers which additionally comes with Java EE agent capabilities which may not be the case with Companion.
Speaking of Installation procedure, this works with a simple extraction of the zip file and does not come with an installer.
Additionally, it comes with ODI Demo Environment with a local HSQL repository which can be used for training and learning purposes.
Functionally, for a developer there is no difference between normal and companion install.

Rickson Lewis

How to migrate a SAP Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g (on a new machine) ?

Hello,
Do you know the proper procedure of such a migration : Migrate a SAP Oracle 9i to a new machine : HP-UNIX, Oracle 10g.
My understanding :
(1) Setup the new machine
(2) Install the latest version of HP-UX
(3) Install Oracle 10g database program
(4) Use Oracle Export / Import to copy my existing SAP Oracle 9i to this newly installed Oracle 10g machine.
(5) copy or tar all the SAP related files, eg.BRTOOLS, ABAP reports, to the new machine
(6) Modify all the configure files since the machine name is different.
Is it correct ?
Is it the most appropriate method ?
Is Export / Import a proper way to migrate an Oracle to a new version ?
Should I use Data Gurad instead ?
Finally, for this migration issue, any SAP Note you will suggest ?

There are two ways of doing this:
a) You do a system copy using R3load
This will give you a "free" reoganization because the tables will be loaded into the database as if you were doing a new installation. The disadvantage is, that it takes more time and good planning.
b) you do a system copy using backup/restore together with the database upgrade
This is a fast way to get your system upgraded and if something goes wrong you can still use the old system. Check
Note 932722 - Upgrade to Oracle 10.2 during a database copy
this is a note for Windows but you can adapt it to be used on Unix/HP-UX too.
And just as a remark:
The "free" support for Oracle 10g is ending next year in June (see Note 1339724 - Oracle 10.2 Extended Support free until July 31, 2011) - after that you have to buy additional support if you want to continue to run 10g. If you run now a migration/upgrade project, why not upgrade directly to 11g?

Oracle BACKUP without specific agent

Hi forum,
I would like to use a backup software (in this case NetVault) but without its specific agent for SAP/Oracle. 1,5 TB database on a 40 LTO cartridge.
We havent enough space for a brbackup of filesystem.
Have you any idea ?
Regards.
Ganimede Dignan.

Hi,
Yes.
In your init<SID>.sap file point these parameters to your disk/filesystem location (where you want to backup your DB files to):
backup_root_dir = /dest_directory
compress_dir = /dest_directory
archive_copy_dir = /dest_directory
compress = yes
