SAP Sample Database

I apologize in advance is this is a dumb question, my expertise is in the MS BI world.
I'm setting up a sandbox database environment so I can test ETL tools such as SSIS or Informatica on data extraction. I have MaxDB up and running but no table stuctures. Are there sample databases I can download and restore via the database manager. I do not need any of the SAP front end. Financial data would be great but I'll take what I can get.
Thanks,
- Vimal

Dear Sergey,
As of 8.8 Version, upgrade mechanism have changed and you can no longer upgrade company databases from client directly. You have to upgrade from the upgrade CD using SAP Business one upgrade wizard. The Upgrade Wizard is available in the upgrade package.
You can download the Upgrade Package of 8.81 PL03 with the Upgrade Wizard from "SAP Business One Software Distribution Center" at http://service.sap.com/sbo-swcenter.
Please note that the SAP Business One Software Distribution Center is usually only accessible to SAP Business One partners.
SAP Note [1037574|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1037574] explains how to get access to http://service.sap.com/sbo-swcenter.
For more information regarding company database upgrade under 8.81 please refer to the "Administrator's Guide 8.81 SQL", which can be found on the Documentation Resource Centre on the Portal.

  • Error in creation of sample database during installation of Oracle8

    I am trying to install Oracle8 for Intel Solaris8. Near the end of installation - running database configuration assitant, the creation of the sample database failed by an alert:
    ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
    I also tried to run database configuration assistant in custom mode separately, "ORACLE not available" message came up.
    I think ORACLE should be connected and running before creation of the sample DB, like installation of Oracle in Windows.
    Anyone has the same problem or can give me a help?
    The Oracle(8.1.7) CD comes with Solaris8 (07/01) package.
    Thanks.

    I would guess that your kernal parameters have not been set. Check you oracle install guide for the appropriate additions to /etc/system for semiphores and shared memory segments. If you have not made these changes, the database will not come up.

  • Beginners Guide Oracle Sample Database

    Hi!
    In the "Oracle Database 10g: A Beginer's Guide" in Chapter 2 a sample database is discussed with the tables customers, products, sales and costs. You need have it to try it the examples. How can I obtain it?
    I have Oracle10gRelease2(10_2_0_1_0) installed on Windows XP Pro SP2.
    Thanks,
    Hans

    Hi
    What is the link of:
    "Oracle Database 10g: A Beginer's Guide"?
    Maybe this is only a sample schema in a database, not a sample database.
    Create a new one and you will have this sample schema and tables.

  • What are the ODBC connect details for the HR sample database?

    I have installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu 8.10 and read the Getting Started tutorials. Everything worked fine.
    THE DSN
    I need to connect via ODBC, to start with to the HR sample database on my PC.
    The Getting Started tutorial says the userid and password are both hr, but what is the data source name (dsn) to be used with the SQLConnect?
    THE INIs
    The ini files below are the result of googling, not of any insight on my part.
    /etc/odbcinst.ini
    [OracleExpressdrv]
    Driver = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1
    Description = Oracle 10g express driver
    /etc/odbc.ini
    [hrdsn]
    Driver = OracleExpressdrv
    Application Attributes = T
    Attributes = W
    BatchAutocommitMode = IfAllSuccessful
    CloseCursor = F
    DisableDPM = F
    DisableMTS = T
    DSN = TestDSN
    EXECSchemaOpt =
    EXECSyntax = T
    Failover = T
    FailoverDelay = 10
    FailoverRetryCount = 10
    FetchBufferSize = 64000
    ForceWCHAR = F
    Lobs = T
    Longs = T
    MetadataIdDefault = F
    QueryTimeout = T
    ResultSets = T
    # ServerName is TNS_alias_from_tnsnames.ora
    ServerName = OraDB
    SQLGetData extensions = F
    Translation DLL =
    Translation Option = 0
    UserID = ken
    THE ENVIRONMENT
    Before running my odbc test program I issued
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    and checked via env command that the ldlibpath actually had been set correctly.
    After SQLConnect received the following error:
    Usage error: SQLConnect: dsn=hrdsn, user=hr, password=hr <<< output by my test program
    1: st=IM002, nerr=0, msg=
    [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
    The first part of the error message hints at there being something wrong with dsn=hrdsn. I don't understand the second part 'and no default driver specified'.
    I am totally stuck. Advice would be most appreciated.

    Oracle® Database Express Edition Installation Guide for Linux talks about Compiling the Oracle ODBC Driver Demos. It tells you to download and install the unixODBC DriverManager from unixODBC. On Ubuntu this is already preinstalled and/or available via the Synaptic Manager. It also instructs you to run a makefile demo_xe.mk to build an odbcdemo program. The makefile did not work for me (hundreds of compilation errors), but I looked at the odbcdemo.c code and could see that dsn=TESTDBDSN for user=hr and password=hr. In other words, by luck the demo program seems to be connecting to the HR sample database.
    I changed the /etc/odbc.ini file to:
    [TestDBDSN]
    Application Attributes = T
    Attributes = W
    BatchAutocommitMode = IfAllSuccessful
    CloseCursor = F
    DisableDPM = F
    DisableMTS = T
    Driver = OracleExpressdrv
    DSN = TestDBDSN
    and also in my test program which now produced the following error:
    Usage error: SQLConnect: dsn=TestDBDSN, user=hr, password=hr
    1: st=IM004, nerr=0, msg=
    [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_HENV failed
    which shows that the unixODBC driver manager has loaded the driver and that the driver immediately encountered problems.
    The sql calls issued before the SQLConnect("TestDBDSN", "hr" , "hr") were OK, i.e. these:
    rc0 = SQLAllocHandle ( SQL_HANDLE_ENV , SQL_NULL_HANDLE , &henv ) ;
    rc = SQLSetEnvAttr ( henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION , *)SQL_OV_ODBC3 , 0 ) ;
    rc = SQLAllocHandle ( SQL_HANDLE_DBC , henv , &hdbc ) ;
    SQLSetConnectAttr ( hdbc , SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT , (void*)5 , 0 ) ;
    However, the error appears after SQLConnect and yet the rc0 was reported as OK.
    The error message 'Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_HENV failed' is totally unhelpful to me as a user since I don't know the conditions that lead to failure. I really think this calls for some documentation. Such documentation should be complete, self-contained and correct and give ALL OPERATIONAL steps, i.e. I want to know exactly what I have to do. Ambiguous English often referring to undefined terms is not what Oracle beginners like myself want.
    I don't know if this is a bug. It is so fundamental that Oracle ODBC driver writers could/should not have got it wrong. The connect does not even start.
    I have googled for hours, but every lead has failed.
    I don't want to give up on this. What can I do?

  • Recreate SAP and database services in Windows

    Hi!
    I'm running my sandbox in a wmware enviroment and yesterday the C: partion got corrupted and I managed to "save" the other drives where the SAP and database are installed.
    Is there any way to recreate the SAP and database services in another Windows installation? (manually or automatically)
    That way I don't need to reinstall the whole system....and no there is no backup or snapshot since the system is not complete.
    But if I get the database to start I should be able to do a backup and then do a new installation and import the backup!?
    Thanks for any input
    rollo

    What is the database platform?
    If it is SQL Server try attaching the data & log files to another instance SQL instance at the same release & patch level, if that works the database is intact so recovery should be possible.
    From there rebuild your vmware box and treat the SAP install as though you are doing a 'system copy' so -
      -Install & patch Win2003
      -Install & patch SQL Server
      -Install a 'blank' SAP Central Instance & update kernel
      -Attach SQL database
      -Use the SAP's SQL Migration tools to prepare DB & instance
      -cross fingers & startsap
      -make a backup
    Check out http://servcie.sap.com/instguides for the System Copy guide that matches your release
    If that helps please reward points

  • Is there any well designed sample database availabe for download ?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    I get the Oracle Express 10g and now i am looking for a good database with some test data inside it
    to practice some tuning and sql commands.
    is there any (rather big ) sample database available for download ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    XE ships with the Sample Application that includes the HR schema with some objects to work on. By default, the HR user account is locked so you need to unlock it first. It's usually a good place to start as many current and future documentation based on XE will include examples from this schema.

    Hi Janakiraman,
    unfortunately we don't have an upload storage here in the SDN. At this point we have two options:
    a) you could upload the screenshots to a website that provides storage and then you can paste the url to the screenshots here
    b) we can route this through our support channel. You can send a message to our support team in the <a href="http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/support">SAP Business One Support Center</a> in our <a href="http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo">SAP PartnerEdge Portal</a>.

  • 10gR2 under Solaris 10: Error creating sample database

    I am attempting to install 10gR2 on a Sun Ultra 10 Sparc workstation running Solaris 10. I successfully configured the ASM drives and loaded the software, and am now attempting to install the actual database software.
    While the installer is running the Database Configuration Assistant, the second "recommended" configuration program, I get an error almost halfway through that says "ORA-19879: error reading backup piece". Looking through the logs kept by the Assistant, I find this entry:

    I couldn't find anything wrong in "example.dmp", and I couldn't find "change_on_install" in the directory listed, even while the error window was still on the screen. Most of the errors in the log following this fragment have to do with tablespace EXAMPLE not being there.
    Someone else with a similar problem solved it by installing the database software without the sample databases. I'll give that a try tomorrow, but I'd still like to know where I'm even supposed to look to find the problem I had above.
    Thanks,
    Mike McCormick

    Okay, I've found at least one source for this problem. There is a script called mkplug.sql in the demo/schema directory that had a line that began "host imp .....". 'imp' is in the db_1/bin directory, which the PATH variable does not yet point to.
    So, my question now is whether I should change "host imp..." to "host $ORACLE_HOME/bin/imp..." in all the files it appears in (sted_mkplug.sql and sdoepsgv.sql, as well as mkplug.sql), or add $ORACLE_HOME/bin to the PATH variable manually.
    What I'm going to try is to deinstall the database, scrap the directories, then reload the software only. After that, I'll edit the files in the demo directory and use dbca to create the demo directories.

  • How to connect to HR sample database using ODBC?

    This is for Oracle Express running on Ubuntu 8.10.
    The SQLConnect ODBC call requires datasourcename/dsn, userid and password as parameters.
    What are these for the HR sample database?

    Many thanks.
    I have only just downloaded Oracle Express and have never used Oracle before, so I do not understand the meaning of service name.
    The userid and password for HR are both hr, which just leaves the dsn.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Where can I get code for a sample database

    I am learning Oracle PL/SQL and I need a sample database so I can practice my skills. Please Help.

    You can refer PLSQL Devloper's guide at following location :
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96624/toc.htm
    It explains PLSQL concepts and gives example code to get started.

  • Sample databases

    I am used to working with SQL Server 2005 and now working in SQL Server 2008.
    I have used Oracle 10g and 11g in the past but would like to dive into PL/SQL
    SQL Server has always provided a sample database called AdventureWorks and now provides many editions for training and example purposes.
    Is there anything comparable to this in the Oracle World? I have failed to find anything like this anywhere.
    I do realize that there are databases installed with Oracle (SQL Server comes with builtin DBs as well) but nothing seems to compare to Adventure Works. It would be nice to learn Oracle and middle tier applications against some real data.
    I would appreciate any direction on this as to where i can obtain sample databases for Oracle.
    Thanks

    ThanksOralce is not Sql Server and I believe, in Sql Server, the concept of a database within database is called a Schema of a database in Oracle. So Oralce does supply some sample schemas that one can install in his database and use this data for playing around.
    Here is the doc link to give the info that how one can install these sample schemas,
