SAPehpi and Windows distributed environment

Hi, We have Windows platform with Oracle databases in distributed and high-availability environment.
I have tried to install EHP1 for PI 7.1. I have used SAPehpi as described in installation manual. SAPehpi will stop
when querying database information. It uses brtools and this will fail because Oracle is another server and you cannot
use brtools in primary application server os-level.
SAPehpi should be started on primary application server as described in manual. But the instructions how to use tool
in distributed environment just give information about microsoft cluster SCS and ASCS handling. I need to know
howto use this tool with remote Oracle database.
Why I can't just use SAINT and JSPM, I don't need slow and complicated tools like this. I don't need shadow instance
because just building up the systems.
Do I have to install temporary PAS instances to database server to get this work? Any experience using this tool
on distributed env?

Yes - you're right - but they require a HUGE downtime since the whole system must be locked as the first runtime step of SAINT is started; depending on the speed of the system and the number of packages you'd have downtimes of two days or more; this is fine for test- and/or qa-systems but it's not for production systems.
> Now this SApehpi tool doesn't work in current installation without changing configurations.
SAPehpi is basically nothing else than a SAPup - so a real upgrade (as if you'd upgrade e. g. from 4.6c to ERP 6.0 or from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1).
I agree with you that the communication of that fact was not clear, one can get the impression, that the installation of EHP1 is the same as a support package installation. It is not, it's a real upgrade of the system requiring lots of additional work.
> We have already configured DBAcockpit via SAP gateways because remote shell was not wanted to use.
I see.
> But I haven't found a way to tell SAPehpi how to use gateway for brtools. Solution cannot be that I have to

> I think this tool is released without proper testing.
That tool was basically used for all upgrades that have been done since 2.x (R3up, SAPup) and is now "renamed" to SAPehpi. The Java upgrade functionality was integrated, former combined upgrades required two upgrade programs (SAPup and SAPJup) running and synchronizing at the same time.
I understand your problem - I'm not aware of any way to tell SAPehpi to use the RFC or gateway functionality to connect to the database; I suggest you write an email to "EHP-TECH at SAP dot COM", maybe those guys and girls have an idea how to do that.
EHP1 for PI 7.1 is a system upgrade, not a support package installation.

Mixed XP and Windows 7 Environment

I installed a J4680 as a wireless device using my XP machine. It works fine. I then directly accessed the printer through the network on my Windows 7 machine and it prints oddly (e.g., the same image displayed twice on a page prints correctly the first time and includes a small version of the image overlaid on top of itself on the second display). Print Preview shows the correct display. When Windows 7 accesses the printer shared through the Windows XP machine it works fine but I want to be able to access it without having the Windows XP machine powered up. Seems Windows 7 needs a different driver and isn't getting it.
I tried removing the printer from the Windows 7 machine and installing it directly with the Windows 7 CD. No change.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Click on the Support & Drivers link at the top of the page, search for the software and drivers for your printer and then download and install the Win 7 software. It should work correctly then.

External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003 problem

I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.
Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
Thank you,
Michael

Thank you for your reply.
Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.

Hyperion 11.1.1.3 Installation and Configuration on a Distributed Environ:

Hi All,
We have Only Hyperion Production Servers on a Distributed Environment. Now, we are thinking to create new instance that will be called Development Environment and that must be replica or mirror of Prod Environment. For that we cloned Production Servers.
Since we have all four servers Cloned for Development Environment now I need to Configure those all four instances.....I never worked with installations and configurations ...I do have knowledge and little experience with single tier or one system installation and configuration but distributed environment....I need your support and guideline to configure these boxes...
Our Distributed Environment lay out is as follows:-
We have installed Hyperion on Windows Server 2003 and Database is SQL Server
(1) We have Four Servers
(a) SQL, which Contains these services EPMA, and IIS Admin Service, World Wide Publishing Services, Hyperion Calc Manager-Web Application,
Hyperion EPMA (.Net JNI Bridge, Engine Manager, Event Manager, Job Manager, Process Manager, Web Application, and Data Syn-WebApplication)
(b) Essbase Server Contains these services Hyp ERP Integrator-Web Application, Hyp Essbase Services, Hyp financial Data Quality Management-
Task Manager
(c) Planning Server contains these Services Hyp Financial Reporting-Web Application, Hyperion Planning-Web Application, Hyp RMI Registry,
Hyp Web Analysis-Web Application
(d) Workspace Server Contains these services Hyp Finacial Reporting (Java RMI Registy, Print Server, Report Server, Scheduler Server), Hyp Foundatio
OpenLDAP, Hyp foundation shared services-web application, Hyp Provider Services - web application, Hyp Workspace (agent service and web application)
(2) Now my question is which server needs to be configured 1st then next and next and what things or steps i need to follow for configuration that works fine?
I know I can run EPMA configure tool for each system from Stat>All program>Oracle EPMA>EPMA Configuration> and then select tool to run.....But I am bit confused that which one go 1st and then next.
Please give your few words for this so that I can start configure the system....
I hoping for positive feedback...
Thanks in Advance.

We have roughly 8 servers in our distributed prod environment. We are using red linux for everything but the epma and report server which you need a windows server. The way we installed was to start with the base server with Shared services and establish that one and whatever else you want on that server. From there it really didnt matter as you go through the installs it will ask you where your shared services box is located. The only problem we had was that some of our boxes are behind a WHI cage where we had to open up ports. Other then that i really didnt follow a specific sequence of installation after shared services. Hope that helps.

How to install Windows 7/Vista as 2nd OS and retain predesktop environment (service partition)

This is a step-by-step instruction how to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 as a second OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad that originally shipped with Windows XP AND how to retain the access to the Lenovo Service Partition.
I have been searching the internet for instructions like these but could not find anything useful. So I am posting it
here. Maybe this helps other users.
I have tested the procedure below with installation of Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I believe that the procedure will also work with the 32bit versions of these OSs. I am not totally convinced that this works when the OS to install is Windows XP (64bit or 32bit). XP has a completely different boot sequence compared to Vista or 7. The basic steps would remain the same, but the XP setup is less forgiving when it finds an unknown partition. If somebody wants to try it out, please post your results as a reply to this forum entry.
Never never never try to install an older OS (like Windows 2000 or NT) as a second OS when XP is already installed! This is doomed to fail.
The procedure below does NOT work for Linux installations. I am not a Linux wizard, but any Linux bootmanager I know about is incompatible with the Lenovo Service Partition.
The procedure was tested on a Thinkpad R61 model 8918-B9G. It should work similar on other models.
You definitely need a service partition with Rescue&Recovery version 4. It will NOT work with older versions of R&R or if the service partition is not a type12 partition (see below how to find out about that).
I assume that the harddisk partitions are unmodified, i.e. still have factory settings. This is likely the case if you
never attempted any OS install or recovery action. If this is not the case, the procedure may or may not work.
You also need a bootable CD with a tool that can change the size of your current system partition. I was using gparted live version 0.5.2-9. ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ )
Everything you do is at your own risk. I am in no way related to Lenovo, other than being a customer using their
products.
Step 1) Make a full backup of your harddisk. Get yourself recovery CDs for your Thinkpad model if you don't have any. The changes we are about to make can completely screw up your harddrive. A typo is sufficient for that to happen.
Step 2) Power on the system. Check that you can boot into the Service Partition by pressing the Thinkvantage button when the startup screen appears. (Older systems may have a differently named button.) If there is a problem booting the service partition now, it is likely that the rest of this procedure will not fix it.
Step 3) From the service partition choose 'Warmstart' to reboot the system. Reboot Windows XP, logon.
Open a command prompt. CD to the following directory:
\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\BMGR
On a german language system (like mine) it is
\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR
If you have an older IBM system the directory may be named
\Program Files\Common Files\IBM\BMGR
or something like that. Maybe you need to search around.
In the following, I will call this the "BMGR dir".
Enter the following command:
bmgr32 /info /v
You should get an output similar to this:
C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

The important thing to look for is the 0x12 partition type in the partition table at the bottom. This is the service
partition. If you do not have a 0x12 partition, then you can stop here because the rest of the procedure will not work
for you.
Step 4) Shutdown and boot gparted from CD. Shrink the system partition to the desired size. Do NOT touch the service partition! Do NOT attempt to create another partition! Leave the new white space on the disk untouched! Apply changes and restart the system.
Step 5) Reboot XP. gparted has set the NTFS dirty bit. This will cause XP to run a full CHKDSK. Depending on how much files there are on the partition this may take considerable time. Let CHKDSK run to completion. When CHKDSK finishes, the system will automatically reboot.
Step 6) XP reboots now. Logon. When loading the desktop, XP will show a popup window, stating that system settings have been changed and new devices been discovered and that the system should be rebooted. This is ok. XP actually recognized the shrunk system partition and applied the necessary changes to its own system parameters. Click YES to reboot the system.
Step 7) XP reboots. Logon. Open a command prompt, CD to the BMGR dir and enter:
bmgr32 /info /v
The output you get should be similar to the output you have seen in step 3, except that the partition 0 size column
shows a smaller value.
Step 8) Shutdown, restart. Check that you can still access the service partition by pressing the blue Thinkvantage button when the system startup screen appears.
Step 9) From the predesktop environment choose warmstart. Reboot XP. Logon, logoff, shutdown.
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If you start the Windows Vista/7 install right after shutting down from the predesktop
environment, the Win Vista/7 setup program will screw up your harddisk! The Lenovo MBR bootmgr reboot takes two steps for completion. The first step is the shutdown and the second step is executed when booting from harddisk. A boot from the Windows CD will skip this second step and disaster finds its way...
Step 10) Insert the Windows Vista/7 DVD and boot it. Start the setup. Choose "Custom (advanced)" install. It will show the partitions on the disk. Select the white space (unallocated). Click on "disk options (advanced)". Click on "New" to create a new partition in the white space. Keep the default size, click "Apply". Click "Format". A popup window appears stating that the partition may hold OEM data. Continue. Click "Next". Installation starts.
Continued in the second post...

Step 11) Win Vista/XP will reboot several times during installation. You will always see the Windows bootmanager with an entry for "Earlier Windows version" and "Windows Vista/7". DO NOT DARE to touch the blue Thinkvantage button on any reboot or press any function keys!
Step 12) When the installation is finished, check that you can successfully reboot Win Vista/7 by selecting it from the Windows bootmanager.
Step 13) Reboot XP by choosing "Earlier Windows version" from the Windows bootmanager. Open a command prompt. CD to the BMGR dir. Enter the following command:
bmgr32 /info /v
The output will now look like this:
C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

startLBA and size will of course differ, depending on the actual partition sizes you have set. Note that Windows setup moved the service partition to entry 2 of the partition table. If you do not see the 0x12 partition then stop here.
Otherwise the following step will likely screw up you harddisk.
Enter the following command (case sensitive?):

So you have actually regained the Lenovo bootmanager. But you are not done yet.
Step 14) Shutdown. Restart the system. DO NOT PRESS THE BLUE THINKVANTAGE BUTTON AT THE SYSTEM STARTUP SCREEN!!! IT DOES NOT WORK YET! When the system startup screen DISAPPEARS, quickly press F11 (maybe several times). The system should now boot the predesktop environment from the service partition.
Step 15) When the predesktop is there, choose "warmstart". When the system startup screen appears, press the blue Thinkvantage button. The system should again boot into the predesktop. The blue Thinkvantage button now works permanently.
Step 16) Check that you can boot Win XP and Win Vista/7 from the Windows bootmanager. You're done!

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-Partition -DiskNumber 4 -PartitionNumber 1 | Format-Volume -FileSystem FAT32 -NewFileSystemL
abel RECOVERY -Force -Confirm:$false
Then I created the storage folder for the Recovery Environment on this R: volume:
PS C:\Windows\system32> mkdir "R:\Recovery\WindowsRE"
Directory: R:\Recovery
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
d----- 13.01.2015 20:15 WindowsRE
And copied the WinRE.wim file from the storage folder on the Windows partition:
PS C:\Windows\system32> xcopy /H E:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\
E:\Windows\System32\Recovery\winRE.wim
1 File(s) copied
Finally, I attempted to enable the copied WinRE and registed it in Windows like that:
PS C:\Windows\system32> ReAgentc.exe /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\ /target E:\Windows
Directory set to: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk4\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE
REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.
However, checking the status with Reagent returns that WinRE is DISABLED:
PS C:\Windows\system32> ReAgentc.exe /info /target E:\Windows

Why is that? What am I doing wrong here?
How do I properly prepare OS for recovery?
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

The target drive with location of WinRE.wim file MUST be NTFS formatted.
Here's what you need to do to enable WinRE.wim that is located on another partition (Partition 1 in my case):
1. Disable the current setup:
C:\Windows\system32>reagentc /disable
REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.
2. Check the status:
C:\Windows\system32>reagentc /info
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration
Information:
Windows RE status: Disabled
Windows RE location:
Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
Recovery image location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk4\partition5\Recovery
Recovery image index: 1
Custom image location:
Custom image index: 0
REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.
3. Make sure that C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\ReAgent.xml contains zeroes in location elements.
This is a proper config:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes'?>
<WindowsRE version="2.0">
<WinreBCD id=""></WinreBCD>
<WinreLocation path="" id="0" offset="0"></WinreLocation>

Deploy to Application Server Failed on a distributed environment

Hi All,
I am trying to configure new Hyperion verion 11.1.2.2 on distributed environment but during configuring calculation manager to application server failed and getting error message like "Deploy to Application Server Failed". I am not sure what is issue and how to fix it. I have tried to read log files but I am not able to undersantd where to look and debug this issue.
My Hyperion Environment over view as a below:-
1- I have used Microsoft VMWARE to build my Hyperion Enviornment
2- I have created 1 window server 2003 domain and made 4 clients of that domain. (All these systems have windows server 2003 installed). I have given name to each client server i.e. System A, System B, System C, System D
3- I have installed SQL 2005 and created databases for all Hyperion components i.e. Shared services, calculation manager, epma on a system A
5- I have installed and configured foundation services and weblogic server on a system B. (In this system I have installed and configured shared services, weblogic, workspace, and able to deploye application server on a same system)
6- On a system A I am able to complete installation for hyperion Performance Management Architect and Calculation Manager and able to finish all type of configuration for these two components but as soon as system trying to configure any related to APPLICATION SERVER services it fails to configure. On a configuration summary page system shows everything is configured but APPLICATION SERVER says FAILED wrtten on a red color letters.
I have explored log files and found that Calculation Manager application server failed to deploy or Deploy to Application server failed.....
Since, I am not sure where to look and how to debug this issue I am requesting to all hyperion friends to help and guide me to debug as I have been trying to install this product since last friday and still no out put....
I will be really thankful if someone share his or her wisdom to help me....
Thank you to all in Advance.....
Thanks,
Safi

Did you install all the WebLogic web applications on the foundation machine as well as the machine they are going to be deployed to.
"On the machine on which you plan to administer the WebLogic Server, you must install all Web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. (The WebLogic Administration Server is installed and deployed on the Foundation Services machine.)"

Hyperion EPM Installation in a distributed environment...

Hi all,
I am planning to install Hyperion products in a distributed environment. I have three machines say, Machine A, Machine B, Machine C. All of the machines have Windows 2003 operating system. And only Machine B and Machine C have Application Server installed. Now I give a brief structure as what machine holds which products-
Machine A:-
Oracle 11g
Essbase Server
Machine B:-
Foundation Services- Shared Services
Essbase Studio
Essbase Integration Services
Smart Search
Administration Services
Provider Services
Habnet
Essbase Client
Machine C:-
EPMA
Planning
Workspace
I create a separate database for each component, say, to configure Essbase I have Hyess database, to configure Planning I have Hyplan database.
And I configure Shared Services to the same database, say, Hyshs from each machine. In that case I just follow the previously congigured database.
Machine B and Machine C components are deployed to their respective Application Server.
Can anyone please tell me if this is proper or not? Any kind of modification or recommendation would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John,
thanks for your response. Yes, the Process Manager does not start. I had a look at the Event Viewer. And it shows error and the error properties description is something like this-

The documentation contains lots of useful information I really think you should study it before even attempting, also take note of the information provided in - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/ch03s03.html
For ODI the RCU utility creates the master and work repository, the documentation takes you through the steps or just search on the web as there are a number of installation guides if you trust them.

Setting up CF9 in Distributed Environment

I need to install CF9 in a distributed environment, with the CFM pages on Server A, and the CF9 runtime stuff on Server B.
I have searched around all over the place and can't find a good set of instructions for this. In the past (with MX) we have just copied over the wsconfig folder (with the '1' and '2' folders), and set up the wsconfig/wsconfig.properties and wsconfig/jrun_ii6.ini files (on Server A) to point to Server B.
I think that I may need to install JRUN4 on the Server A, and then run the WSCONFIG.EXE (as is done on CF9) to set up the web sites. There are some docs on how to manually configure external web server connectors (KB 18724 and 19575), but those docs are for MX version.
Just need to be pointed to some helpful docs.
Server A and B are both Windows Server 2008 SR2, 64-bit, running on a VM instance, with IIS 7.5 installed.
Thanks...Rick...

Well, to be clear, the significance of "distributed mode" deployment for CF is not that "the CFM pages on Server A, and the CF9 runtime stuff on Server B" but more specifically that the web server (IIS, in your case) is on Server A and CF is on Server B. Is that what you mean?
Before I go on, I'll add note that Dave Watts, a highly respected CFer, has argued in another thread here recently against using distributed mode and proposes an alternative that you may want to consider. See his brief discussion at:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3314201#3314201
Beyond that, I'll note that I just searched the CF docs for any discussion of this, and I find none. That should tell us something. Sure, if you google about coldfusion "distributed mode", you'll find an old CF6-era technote on it, in the context of doing clustering.
But in fact, I have discovered something quite interesting. The CF Installation guide says that "For more information on the Web Server Configuration Tool, including information on multihoming and distributed usage, see the Configuring and Administering ColdFusion guide." Yet, as I said, the Config/Admin guide makes no mention of "distributed" (except in the context of running verity in its own distribute mode).
So in fact, I looked at the two manuals in each release, 9, 8, 7, and 6.1, and in it's the same: the install guide says it's covered in the admin/config guide, but it is not. It's amazing (and of course, sad) that this has never been noticed in all these releases. Then again, few even know these manuals exist, so it's perhaps not as surprising given that running in distributed mode has indeed been something few have done.
So, Rick, I'd ask first if you really maybe meant only "I want the pages on a server separate from CF", or really "I want the web server separate from CF". And if the latter, consider Dave's alternative, especially since it seems clear that "distributed mode" has just not been even documented in now over 10 years.
Hope that's helpful.
