SAP R/3 4.7 migration using Veritas PDC solution

Hi,
I would like to do a heterogeneous system copy.
My current environment:-
OS= IBM AIX
DB=Oracle 9i
DB size=6TB
Storage= Veritas Storage foundation suite (Portable Data Container)
Target system:-
OS=HPUX
DB=Oracle 9i
DB size=6TB
Storage= Veritas Storage foundation suite (Portable Data Container)
Instead of using SAP tool (SAPINST,migmon, R3ta) to export/import the SAP system.
Can I make use of the VERITAS -PDC solution? Whereby I will do a snapshot of the Oracle datafile.
And then do some veritas pdc conversion to HPUX . And present the datafile to HPUX (target system).
Is this supported by SAP? What is the impact if SAP say it is not supported method to do migration?
I saw a document say it is not supported, but it is dated 2005.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
CK chai
Does anyone

The first thing you should be aware of:
If you do heterogeneous migrations you must have a certified migration consultant on-site, otherwise you loose support for problem occurring through the migration and for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).
The only "supported official" way is doing an R3load export and import.
You can use other ways (e. g. also transportable tablespaces with Oracle 10g) but the responsibility of doing that is in the hand of the migration consultant.

SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

Hi,
I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
Is this a limitation, a by design ?

Hans,
The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server. The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone. SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free. Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

SAP BW on HANA DB Migration - Technical & Functional Assessment Check List Required

Hello Experts,
Typically, Before we start SAP BW on HANA DB migration, we would certainly need Technical & Functional Assessment Check List. As per knowledge, to execute BW on HANA DB migration, we would need HANA Admin and Developer, BASIS and BW consultants.
Can some one share me what exactly these people does in Technical & Functional Assessment ?.
What could be the duration ?.
Does this people require to login into the system's physically and perform any activities ?
Please share me details.
Thanks,
HA

Hi,
with the perferred (and recommeded) database migration option (DMO) as part of the SUM the need of these Functional Assessment Check List might obsolete, as a lot of manual tasks are integrated into the automated process, which were only available as lists in the past.
For an Overview, see - Migration BW on HANA - Update 2014 | SCN
For a detailed step by step, see - SAP First Guidance - Migration BW on HANA using the DMO option in SUM

Fail over possible for 9i db, using Veritas VCS bet 32bit and 64 bit

Folks,
We are planning to use 9i R2 (9.2.0.2.0) on
Sun Solaris, using Veritas VCS .
Can we have one OS as Solaris 32 bit and
the fail over box as Solaris 64 bit.
Thanks
Ashish

Follow up question -
I am able to successfully fail over the ABAP portion of the ABAP+J2EE environment we have. This is done by altering the profile parameters in the DEFAULT profile to reflect the cluster alias rather than the actual host name.
But in the confitool of the J2EE, there are some fields that have the actual hostname hardcoded. These are in the DB, so they are host independent:
Global Disp. config>managers>ClusterManger:
ms.host = <host>
Global Disp. config>managers>LockingManger:
enq.profile.filename = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_DVEBMGS##_host
enqu.host = <host>
Global Server Config>managers>Cluster Manager:
ms.host = <host>
Global Server Config>managers>Locking Manager:
enq.profile.filename = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_DVEBMGS##_host
enqu.host = <host>
I suspect I can change the physical host names to the alias, but how can the J2EE know which profile to look at based on what physical host it's running on? ABAP knows by just reading the profile that has the real host name in it.

Any info on using Veritas for offline Portal Cluster backup

Anyone have detailed info on how to correctly use VERITAS to backup a PORTAL CLUSTER with ORACLE FAILSAFE on WIN32?
Oh.. well.. INcorrectly ways will suffice as well.

Jerry,
I have had some exposure to Sun Fire servers running Oracle. The disk was made highly available using the Veritas database cluster software. Both servers share the database files stored on a storage array network. Also Volume Replicator is available via Veritas/Symantec.
You can check the other compatible HA software on;

Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change.

Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change. (Mac OS X 10.7.5)

Did you migrate the app from Time Machine? Reinstall it.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
The reference to NovaMedia is that there is the remanant of an older app in there somewhere that won't run on 10.7

What is Multi-mapping in SAP+XI and when is it used?

Hi SDN,
Can you please tell me what exactly is a multi-mapping in SAP+XI and when is it used with an example.
Regards,
Aniruddha Bhattacharya

Hi Aniruddha,
Multi mappings can be used in ccBPM which is used to map abstract interfaces. Development is the same as Message Mappings.
n:1 Transformation
Bundles multiple messages into one message, for example, individual purchase order items into one purchase order.
1:n Transformation
Splits a message into multiple messages, for example, a purchase order into the individual purchase order items.(its possible without BPM)
n:m Transformation
Converts a message into another message, for example, a message that is defined by interface A is converted to message that is defined by interface B.
Multi-Mappings reference multiple message structures:-
a) All source message structures are combined into 1 source structure.
b) All target message structures are combined into 1 target structure.
Therefore, there is only one source structure mapped to one target.
With BPM:

/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
Without BPM:

Also go through this thread...you will find lots of link which are helpfull...

Planning EPMA migration using LCM

Hi Experts,
Kindly advice how can we migrate EPMA Planning data?
As per document:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/frameset.htm?ch07s04s03.html
>
Planning data migration is not supported in Lifecycle Management.Does it different if we use Essbase Data migration using LCM under essbase Node?
Ver: 11.1.2 (EPMA Plannning)
Regards
Kumar

Hi Alp,
Thanks for the help.
It means I should fallow
Step 1: Migrate security and all artifacts of EPMA Planning using LCM except Planning Data - OK
Step 2: Export/Import Essbase data using EAS/Maxl Script – seems OK
Q1: we have option of essbase data under essbase node while migrate essbase application/Database using LCM, Why can't we just migrate Planning data using LCM itself?
Regards
Kumar

HT204350 The instructions for "Migrating using FireWire or ThunderBolt" are WRONG

The instructions for "Migrating using FireWire or ThunderBolt" in this article are wrong for a transfer from a Mountain Lion Mac to a Mavericks Mac. You should not put the source Mac in target disk mode. Rather, you should start up Migration Assistant on the source Mac and choose "To another Mac"

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
