Sapdba

Hi,
We are performing system refresh from Production system. Our admin guy did backup part and stored in IBM Tivoli. Now we have to restore to our sandbox.
we are using sapdba utility (brbackup, brrestore) (R/3 4.7, Oracle 8i). How to setup sapdba in sandbox? Please help me step by step to restore data or Please tell me, If any document available.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Srinivas.

Hi,
Look at the below link to setup the SAPDBA

Steps to empty SAPDB (MaxDB) log file

Hello All,
i am on Redhat Unix Os with NW 7.1 CE and SAPDB as Back end. I am trying to login but my log file is full. Ii want to empty log file but i havn't done any data backup yet. Can anybody guide me how toproceed to handle this problem.
I do have some idea what to do like the steps below
1. take databackup (but i want to skip this step if possible) since this is a QA system and we are not a production company.
2. Take log backup using same methos as data backup but with Log type (am i right or there is somethign else)
3. It will automatically overwrite log after log backups.
or should i use this as an alternative, i found this in note Note 869267 - FAQ: SAP MaxDB LOG area
Can the log area be overwritten cyclically without having to make a log backup?
Yes, the log area can be automatically overwritten without log backups. Use the DBM command
util_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE ON
to set this status. The behavior of the database corresponds to the DEMO log mode in older versions. With version 7.4.03 and above, this behavior can be set online.
Log backups are not possible after switching on automatic overwrite. Backup history is broken down and flagged by the abbreviation HISTLOST in the backup history (dbm.knl file). The backup history is restarted when you switch off automatic overwrite without log backups using the command
util_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE OFF
and by creating a complete data backup in the ADMIN or ONLINE status.
Automatic overwrite of the log area without log backups is NOT suitable for production operation. Since no backup history exists for the following changes in the database, you cannot track transactions in the case of recovery.
any reply will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mani,
1. Please review the document u201CUsing SAP MaxDB X Server Behind a Firewallu201D at MAXDB library
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/bbddac91407006e10000000a155369/content.htm
u201CTo enable access to X Server (and thus the database) behind a firewall using a client program such as Database Studio, open the necessary ports in your firewall and restrict access to these ports to only those computers that need to access the database.u201D
Is the database server behind a Firewall? If yes, then the Xserver port need to be open. You could restrict access to this port to the computers of your database administrators, for example.
Is "nq2host" the name of the database server? Could you ping to the server "nq2host" from your machine?
2. And if the database server and your PC in the local area NetWork you could start the x_server on the database server & connect to the database using the DB studio on your PC, as you already told by Lars.
See the document u201CNetwork Communicationu201D at
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/d7c3e72e6338d3e10000000a1553f7/content.htm

Yes, it does so, because somebody forgot to upgrade the BASIS SP as well...
What BASIS SP are you using?

Please help me !

Hi,
well, the error -4008 denotes that the user/password combination used by the DB Analyzer for accessing the DB are incorrect. The DB Analyzer tries to issue SQL commands with the SYSDBA user.
Do you know the user/password combination of your SYSDBA user?

Sapdb (maxdb) and jdbc adapter problem

Hi,
i have installed this jdbc file:
http://sapdb.org/7.4/sap_db_jdbc.htm
like in this how-to:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how to install and configure external drivers for jdbc and jms adapters.pdf
then i set up an jdbc to file szenario to test the adapter.
Driver is: com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB
connection is: jdbc:sapdb://sapdb-host/XI_DATA
with sapdb-host is the db server and XI_DATA ist the database
user and pw is dba
sql statement is: SELECT * FROM "AAA_XI_DATA" WHERE "number" = 50
with AAA_XI_DATA is the table with test data.
the statment works in the sapdb studio. (No ; in sapdb and the XI)
but when i have a look at the runtime monitor at the af
messages there is no message genereated. where can i
check, if the jdbc driver is working and where do i find
error messages?
Regards
J.

You can check if there is some kind of error with the JDBC Adapter in the Runtime Workbench. Inside the RWB, open "Component Monitoring", "tree view", "Adapter Monitoring", and in the adapter listing you'll find the "JDBC Adapter". It should have a green light. If not, the error will be displayed.

Dispatcher dies after startup - sapdb / libpcr

We have a NW04 server on Windows whose primary purpose is as an XI hub.
It was recently moved from one network to another (same machine name) and initially worked properly, but is now not starting up.
I just had to extend the data volume, as it was full, if thats of any relevance.
It seems to be having issue loading "libpcr". I did some searches, and re-registered the library, as well as setting the SABDBLIBDIR env variable. To no avail.
Here's the trace of dev_w3, which seems to be the first process that dies:

SAPDB Migration for Content server

Hi Experts
we have a SAP content server 6.3 running on 32 bit windows on SAPDB 7.3 .
We are planning to move this to a Unix box ( AIX or Solaris .. not decided yet). Is there a comprehensive guide available about the procedure we need to follow ?
1. Do we need to upgrade the source DB before migration ?
2. As per MaxDB admin guide database copy from IA32 to unix does not work and as per note 962019 we need to use loadercli. Any tips on loadercli use would be welcome
3. Any relevant information from past experience of similar exercise
4. Does SAP support this migration if we do not buy the MaxDB migration service from SAP ?

Hi there,
> Note"962019" mentions that:
>
> "Note that the target system must be installed at least with 7.6.05 build 11. An upgrade to this version does not help. Stop the target system (shutdown) and delete the database instance (drop database). SAPinst provides the option 'uninstall'. Here, you are led through the uninstalling process. The repeat the software installation with 7.6.05 build 11 or higher."
Yep, this is necessary to make the handling of source databases possible, that still have the _UNICODE parameter set to FALSE.
> I can only find MAXDB 7.6.03 installation CD on SAP SWDC, no 7.6.05 build 11 or higher, can I install 7.6.03 first, then update patch to 7.6.05 or higher?
Actually you don't need the installation CD.
The "patch" package contains everything you need to perform a full installation.
MaxDB patches are not really patches but always full installations.
Therefore you can either use the SDBSETUP or SDBINST tool (make sure to get the path-settings for <indep_data>/<indep_programs>/<dependend_programs> right then!) or you replace the installation package on the 7.6.03 CD you have with the 7.6.05 installation package from the patch download page in the service marketplace [http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain].
Ok, hope that answers your questions.
Make sure to test the procedure before actually trying to perform the migration.
Very often questions and problems come up during the first time the process is done - and if that happens to be your productive migration weekend, well, cross-fingers that you get a MaxDB expert supporter on weekend duty then ...

Lars

Cannot access sapdb backend from Content Server?

I am unable to access my sapdb from my Content Server via CSADMIN or with the /ContentServer.dll?serverInfo page.
I run a Content Server on Unix - version 640, build 16. Here's what I've verified thus far:
- SAPDB is up and running.
- x_server process is running
- apache is running (httpd processes)
- Standalone gateway on same server is running.
In the apache error logs I find the following message:
ErrorDescription: Cannot start Document request, reason: SQLConnect
failed, [MySQL MaxDB][LIBSQLOD SO][MaxDB] Invalid authorization specification;-4008 POS
(1) Unknown user name/password combination, Error
Code: -4008\r\nX-ServerId: server="nwkwcs";serverPort="1090"\r\nX-
ServerType: SAP HTTP Content Server\r\n
I had not changed my SAPR3 user or password in the database, so I am confused why this started happening all of a sudden?
In an attempt to fix, I reset SAPR3 to custom password and ran report
RSCMSPWS to store the new password in the cs.conf file. However, the
same error is still a result.
So, I deleted and recreated SAPR3 based upon SUPERDBA profile with default "SAP" password.
Then, I commented out DBNAME and PASSWORD in cs.conf file. So, it should be using the default SAPR3/SAP login to the database.
However, this did not help either.
I looked at note 706664, however I cannot even get the repositories to a defined status. I cannot connect via CSADMIN?
Here's an excerpt from the http://server:port/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo page for
further analysis:

I am unsure why the Content Server will not connect to the database?

SAPDB : Archive the Log and Data files

Hi,
I am running a SAP WAS JAVA on my laptop with SAPDB as the database. Its used for my local developments.
I have 3 log files and 3 data files of 1 GB each. I want to reduce this to 1 log file and 1 data file to free some space on my Laptop.
How can this be done.
Regards,
Shubham

Hi,
well, you should check the current filling level of your database instance to see how large your single data volume should become.
Then, I would recommend you put your db in admin state and make a full data backup.
Then, you would need to do do a recovery with initialization. This is most conveniently done using the newest available version of the Database Manager GUI.
During this process, you should be able to specify your desired new volume setup (please keep the filling level from your the beginning in mind). For the backup to recover, choose the one you just made.
Hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Roland

DB Migration from SAPDB to Oracle 10g - Archive access after migration?

Hi!
Our customer plans to move his SAP system landscape from one Service Provider to another. During this not only new hardware is used but also a DB migration will be done using the procedure described in the SAP System Copy Guide (SAPDB -> Oracle - Offline Export in source system,
Import in target system).
SAPSID and client will be the same in the new environment, but of course HW key, IP-adress, Server name, Domain name and obviously Installation no. will change. SAP Note 153433 as well as System Copy Guide do not completely clearly tell me, whether we will face problems when trying to access our archived data after the migration. It's not completely clear to me, how the Archive References are
built: Only using SAPSID and client? Then everything should be okay, because here we plan no changes.
So do we have to face any problems when trying to access and/or reload the archived files and objects after the movement to the new service provider? Are there any pitfalls concerning archviving and archive access we have to take in mind?
Add. info: The archvied files and objects are stored in an IBM Common Store which will be moved physically from location A to B. So here nothing changes.
Thanx in advance for any hint.
BTW: SAP Notes 153433, 460620 and 53068 were already studied. SAP support said this is a consulting issue ... ;-(
Regards,
Volker Kolberg

Hi Volker,
I haven't worked much on archiving, however Archived files are flat files ( I think) and hence these files should be common for all databases.
However a good strategy is to first test. I think you must have already thought about it however still here is what you could do.
Take system copy of the system you want to migrate ( you could choose a development system where there is not much data)
Delete data the production clients in the copied system.
Archive some data using object something like WORKITEM which is harmless workflow object.
Migrate the system and try to reload the object
Hope that helps.

Siddhesh

Installation halts - probably because of sapdb.inf

Hello fellow SAP admins
I'm trying to install SAP solution manager/netweaver 7.0 on a Sun Sparc T2000 with Solaris 10. The installation works fine until I get to phase 13 of 47: "Create database schema". I don't get an error message, but the installation halts and I can read the following from the promt:
"File sapdb.inf does exist. Will use the commands in file sapdb.inf."
Everything seems to work and I cannot locate logfiles that tell me otherwise.
XCMDOUT.log ends with the following:
> Subprocess starts at 20080513084428
Execute Command : /sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -n SunT2000 -d BDS -u control,********

Execute Session Command : sql_execute SELECT VALUE FROM DBPARAMETERS WHERE DESCRIPTION='_UNICODE'

OK

'YES'
Any ideas?
NB: You can find a similiar unsolved post by David Ingersoll from Mar 31, 2008 3:30 PM by searching the term "sapdb.inf".

Migration from SAPDB 7.4 to MaxDB 7.6 (7.7)

Hello,
I hope I'm right here to find a solution for my migration problem.
I have the SAPDB 7.4 in my own application. Now I want to migrate it to a newer Community version 7.6 or 7.7. Since MaxDB is back to SAP I will post my question here.
In a MySQL mailing list I found a comment that the migration from 7.4 to 7.6 should be done by simplify make a backup from 7.4 and restore it into 7.6 (http://lists.mysql.org/maxdb/26124)
I tried this with the DBM GUI. When I start a recovery with initialisation it says "Recovery has completed sucessfully". But than I can't restart the database instance:
-24988 SQL errir [info STATE -d]; -4004,Unknown table name:INFO_STATE
After this the instance is in online mode, but when I try to load the system tables I get:
-24964 error in program execution [load_systab ...]; 3,""C:\test\sapdb\depend\bin\x_python" "C:\test\sapdb\depend\env\lsystab.py" -R "C:\test\apdb\depend" -d MYDB -u dbam*"
I also found a post where some steps described for a migration from 7.3 to 7.6 (http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb/28720), but my source database is 7.4 and the command util_execute migrate give my a SQL error on 7.4
-24988,ERR_SQL: sql error
Is there any HowTo or tutorial how to migrate from SAPDB 7.4 to 7.6 or 7.7?
I hope, someone can help me....
Thanks in advanced and best regards,
Thomas

Good choice.

Well - actually this is not the recommended procedure.
In fact this it not tested at all. It should work, yep - but there's no guarantee for it.
Why don't you simply use the standard way to upgrade your database?
Use SDBUPD or SDBSETUP and all necessary steps will be done automatically.

Sure it's called 'documenation'.
You may want to take a look... [Installation Manual|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/dd1681a23819d9e10000000a422035/content.htm].
In general it's a good idea to ensure that the system tables are properly loaded before you try the upgrade and that you use the most current patch of your old version (if available).

SAPDB in status STOPPED INCORRECTLY due to file system failure

Hi community,
we have a problem with our SAPDB server.
The file system on which the whole database is installed disappeared form the list of filesystem mounted because of hardware problems, the database instances crashed. Now the problem should be technically solved, the filesystem is mounted again and files should be not corrupted
The first problem was to start the x server, If I tried to start it replied with the following error:
en950_GetProgramExecPath failed:
OS_ERROR 0: No system errortext for ERRNO 0
RTE_ERROR 1: Open Registry:No such file or directoryIndepPrograms
I resolved the problem looking at the file in directory /var/spool/sql/ini and changing the extensions of two files:
SAP_DBTech.ini from Registry_dcom.ini.cnt01
SAP_DBTech.ini from SAP_DBTech.ini.cnt01
Now the x server starts correctly, but the state of the 2 SAPDB instances appears as STOPPED INCORRECTLY
My questions:
- Why the configuration files had that (wrong) extension ?
- What is the correct procedure to try to start the instances in this case?
Regards, Valerio

Hmm... one thing is for sure: the MaxDB software does not rename these files!
> Now the x server starts correctly, but the state of the 2 SAPDB instances appears as STOPPED INCORRECTLY
Did you had a look into the KNLDIAG files?
> My questions:

No idea? Storage/Filesystem issue?
Bad user?
> - What is the correct procedure to try to start the instances in this case?
Depending on how much is broken here... reinstall the software from scratch and either re-register the instances or perform a restore and recovery of them.

Lars
