Hi Experts
My current environment consists SAP R/3 3.1i, Oracle 8.1.7.4 on AIX 5.2. If I need to upgrade Oracle keeping SAP as is, then upto what Oracle release I can upgrade.
Thanks in Advance
Sri

Dear Srinivasa,
depending upon your SAP kernel version, may be up-to Oracle 9.2 release.
This SAP Note may be helpful [Note 578131 - Releasing Oracle 9.2 for older SAP versions |https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=578131]

How to join data from SAP BW and Oracle database from Webi?

Hi,
Need to create a Web Intelligence Report connecting to multiple data sources.
Ø SAP-BW contains the data (All units).
Ø Oracle db contains the access security data (respective units
for the user).
Since Universe can only connect to a single data-source we have to create two universes connecting to SAP-BW and Oracle db respectively and then create a webi report to point the two universes to retrieve the equi-join data on the report.
May I know which layer I can join the data? What kind of data I can join?
Can I merge dimensions from both the data sources? What about measures?
How I can create SQL query in Webi in order to simulate the join to the two data source?
Appreciate any info related.
thanks and regards
nora

Hi Nora,
You can use Data Federator technology to federate multi-sources such as SAP BW and Oracle.
Las you just have to create a universe on the Data Federator data source and the universe isee the data source as a single source whereas it is not.
Then any clainet that consume uninverses can take advantage of this solution.

Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

Hi Gurus
I Need your help Please
I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.
I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.
But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.
I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:
FlexVol saplog
/usr/sap/SID
/usr/sap/trans
/sapmnt/SID
/home/SIDadm
/oracle/SID
/oracle/SID/origlogA
/oracle/SID/origlogB
/oracle/SID/oraarch
/oracle/SID/sapreorg
/oracle/SID/sapbackup
/oracle/SID/saparch
FlexVol sapdata
/oracle/SID/sapdata1
/oracle/SID/sapdata2
/oracle/SID/sapdataN
FlexVol mirrlogs
/oracle/SID/mirrlogA
/oracle/SID/mirrlogB
Thanks and appreciate your help

> I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?
Where did you read that?
> The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?
The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.
The usual process is:
- you contact your hardware vendor
- you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data
- the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup
- the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing
Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.
You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.

Stop sap and oracle on MSCS

Hi,
We have an MSCS cluster with 2 nodes with NW2004s JAVA and oracle 10g.
We want to do a windows backup of the 2 nodes with everything stopped (SAP, Oracle and Services).
In another word how we can stop SAP, Oracle and services without a failover.
Thank you for you help.
Chak

very easy:
as documented in the installation guide.
clustered components have to be at least stopped using the Windows Cluster Administrator (in Administrative Tools).
in order to do a backup of the SAP and Oracle Disks too you have only to take the SAP Instance
within the SAP Cluster Group and the Oracle Instance within the Oracle Cluster Group offline.
At least the cluster disks needs to be online on the node where you are running the backup.
The rest of the resources within the SAP and Oracle Cluster group may remain online.
Oracle strongly recommends to use the Oracle Failsafe Manager to stop the Oracle database.
you can also use commandline tools like cluster.exe and ofscmd.exe to administrate cluster resources.
(cluster.exe resource "SAP PRD Instance 00" /offline) ...
by the way: in Netweaver 2004s you can also stop the SAP Instance using the SAPMMC.
it will detect that the instance is clustered and will use the cluster interface to take it offline (just the instance).

Migrating single instance SAP and Oracle 11.2.0.1 database to Oracle RAC

We have a single instance SAP Netweaver environment on Oracle 11.2.0.1 database and want to migrate to Oracle 11.2.0.1 RAC and ASM. The documents are for 11.2.0.2 and later but we want a way to:
1. Migrate single instance SAP and Oracle 11.2.0.1 instance to ASM
2. Configure the environment as four node Oracle 11.2.0.1 cluster
Thus far, I have:
1. Installed clusterware 11.2.0.1
2. Installed four ASM instances
My questions:
1. We want to migrate the single instance database to same server and extend to four node cluster and ASM
However, current SID for SAP and Oracle must remain the same. The problem I have is that the target database name needs to be same as source on same physical host.
2. How would I use RMAN to migrate the single instance database to ASM for 11.2.0.1?
3. How would I use rconfig after this step?

1- We have single instance Oracle 11.2.0.1 database using file based datafiles, archivelogs, controlfiles, etc on single RHEL5 Linux host
2- We have four available Oracle 11.2.0.1 ASM instances on four RHEL5 Linux hosts
3- We have installed four node Oracle 11.2.0.1 clusterware on the above nodesAnd what is the shared storage? For RAC, all shared storage devices for the cluster need to be available and usable by all ASM instances in that cluster.
Issue- we have RAC 11.2 clusterware listener using SCAN and listeners for all four clusterware nodes.
When we try to run the following RMAN command to migrate the single instance Oracle 11.2.0.1 datafiles it fails:The failure says: "+RMAN-10038: database session for channel ORA_DISK_1 terminated unexpectedly+". And this in itself does not tell you what the actual problem encountered is.
4- How to register the single instance with all four ASM instances and network services to resolve the above issue?Register what instance? ASM does not need databases or instances to be registered. It is a storage management layer. The cluster (grid infrastructure) layer is the one that deals with the registration (and management) of the various services and resources on that grid (e.g. ASM instances, database instances, SCAN and VIP, Listener services, etc).
5- Do we need to first run rconfig utility against single Oracle 11.2.0.1 instance to register with clusterware services BEFORE using RMAN to perform the datafile migration to ASM?Never used rconfig. See Support Note +RCONFIG : Frequently Asked Questions [ID 387046.1]+ for details.

IWay adapters between SAP ERP and Oracle

Hi,
The systemlandscape in the future is a SAP ERP System without a java stack and a Oracle system.
Importend: And without a SAP Portal and a SAP PI.
I think we will install the iWay Oracle adapter on the SAP ERP system and on the Oracle the iWay for SAP adapter.
I this solution generally possible with iWay adapters or maybe others solution between SAP ERP and Oracle?
Thank you for all answers.
Regards
Richard

Hi,
Your question is not clear.
It is true that SAP is no more supporting Dual stack systems because of performance related problems. So, we need to install As ABAP and As Java system separately. As far as oracle is concerned, you need a database to install ERP system then why you want to install adapter ?
Thanks

Migration of SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 from Windows(OS), SQL Server(DB) to AIX(OS) and Oracle(DB).

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
Asleh

Hi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
Please refer the below KBA for more details

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.

Eduardo Rezende

Install 46D EXT2 on Windows x64 and Oracle 10g

Hello,
When i try to install a SAP 4.6C system on Windows ORACLE 10.2.0.2 and Windows AMD_64 (x64).
I've got an error in the creation of the database (see below). The Centrale instance wae created successfully.
I've changed KERNEL CD to the 46DEXT2 (INSORA102_0.SAR) version and also applied OSS Note 976457 to update various Windows DLL .
The problem is when launching R3SETUP, it goes to subdirectory ZSAPORAICL like you can see.
Why ? Is there's an error on 46D Kernel CD ?
Do you have any idea ? Already had the same problem ?
Thanks for your help

Hi Seelan,
While installing Oracle Software you must not create the DB instance, in a step Oracle asks to created DB instance say no there and continue with SAP Installation and let the SAP installation create the DB instance.
Kindly confirm if you are following the same.

SAP R/3 ENTERPRISE 4.7 / ORACLE 9i / kernel 640 for AIX 6.1

Hello,
We plan to migrate our SAP systems from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1.
We are currently running a SAP R/3 ENTERPRISE 4.7 on ORACLE 9i with a 640 kernel 64 bits UC.
I would like to know if AIX 6.1 is validated for our system (SAP 4.7, ORCALE 9i and kernel 640).
Thanks.

I would like to know if AIX 6.1 is validated for our system (SAP 4.7, ORCALE 9i and kernel 640).
Read
Note 1137862 - Using SAP systems with AIX 6.1
Note 1087498 - Support für AIX 6.1
The first note will tell you the necessary TL/SP you need to install. The second note tells you about the minimum kernel version.
What does not work is Oracle 9.2 --> not supported under AIX 6.1 (http://service.sap.com/pam or Oracle Metalink 169706.1).
Since Oracle 9.2 is out of support already I highly suggest upgrading to Oracle 10.2.0.4 and using the latest 640_EX2 kernel.
