Separate ASCS and PAS from Database server

Dear friends, in a customer we have the following need:
We need to separate de ASCS and the Primary application server to a host different from database server. The SAP system is an ERP 6.0 EHP4 based in NW 7.01.
We have used Software provisoning manager to splitt off the ASCS from the CI. Before the splitt off we only had the directory DVEBMSG00, and after the splitt off, we had ASCS01 and DVEBMSG00 directories. But, this is only half of the solution, because we need to move this services to another hosts.
We tried to use Software provisioning manager to deinstall the ASCS, and install it in the other host. This works. But the problem is the Primary application server, because if we uninstall it, when insttall in the other host with the option "System Copy" the sapinst promts for the installation export.
In the Marketplace i could not find any note form aour scenario.
Do you know a way to separate de CI and the PAS from de database server without a system copy?
Thanks and best regards.

Hi
http://scn.sap.com/community/netweaver-administrator/blog/2013/12/04/why-splitting-off-the-ascs-from-pas
This link might be useful
But if you have a system based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0x, this option is not available in the 70SWPM, The only way to do that would be running a system copy of the system. Then during the target system installation, you would be able to install the new system with sepated ASCS from PAS . "

Query on splitting ASCS and PAS

Quick question All,
I referred the current SWPM procedure for 7.1 and higher on splitting ASCS and PAS. I have a question here please. The first point in the Procedure has 2 items -1) Choose an instance number for the ASCS instance to be created. and 2) Note that the message server port is not changed during the split. I am wondering how can this be. I thought DVEBMGSXX will split into ASCSXX and DXX. If point 1 holds good that means I can choose a port of my convenience and if point 2 is true, then that means I cant choose ASCS port of my liking. Both cant co-exist or am i missing something here. I basically want to have current port( Central CI port) to be used by PAS after split and this is not possible if point 2 above holds good. We have several interfaces that are pointed to this port and we don't want to end up adapting all RFC interfaces and gateway ports etc. We don't have HA so SPOF is not an issue here.
Any thoughs here please
Regards
Kalyan

Hello Kalyan,
Adding further information to what Boris already explained here, you can read the following SAP KBA about Splitting Off ASCS from PAS I wrote:
2073500 - FAQ: Splitting off ASCS from PAS
The main cause the message server port is not changed during the is explained in question #5 of the document above:
5. Why SWPM does not allow changing the Message Server port and it keeps
using PAS port?
As described in section Splitting
Off a Central Services Instance for ABAP from an Existing Primary Application
Server Instance, the message server port is not changed during the
split.
Each SAP GUI Logon (end users) has the message server port information
locally saved in the services file (/etc/services on Unix/Linux or
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services on Windows). Also all RFCs to
externally communicate to another system are configured with the message server
port.
Therefore the tool cannot change the port during the process due to
configuration and communication reasons.
I hope this information can be helpful as well for you.

How can we transfer huge amount of data from database server to xml format

hi guru
how can we transfer huge amount of data from database server to xml format.

At first we create the internal table TYPES and DATA definition, we want to fill with the XML data. I have declared the table "it_airplus" like the structure from XML file definition for a better overview, because it is a long XML Definition (see the XSD file in the sample ZIP container by airplus.com)

Drag and drop from remoter server

Drag and drop from remoter server I get this<img src="../My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/4coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc="http://www.jonsered.ws" /> what I want is this <img src="http://www.jonsered.ws/coldfront_jacketAD.jpg" width="207" height="207" longdesc= />
the first one does not work on the web
How is this done?

When you click on a file (drag & drop) in Remote Server panel, DW GETS the file and places it in your Local Site folder.
Your local site is defined in DW as ./My Documents/SITKA/Unnamed Site 6/. Hence the path name change.
Make sense?

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

Copying database objects and data from one server database to another server database in AG group

Hi,
I am still trying to wrap my head around sql clusters and AGs and I have a project that requires I take a vendor's database and restore it weekly so its available on the production server which is clustered.
The vendor's database on the cluster is in an AG group and encrypted.
Right now, I plan to restore the database on a sql staging server and use the SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to copy the table structure and data from Stage to the Production database of same name and I would first drop the objects in production
database using the same task.
I am concerned that this might cause issues with the passive cluster due to "logging" from active to passive. The database is about 260 MBs and I am not sure how many tables.
Has anyone run into this type of scenario before or have a better solution?
Thanks
Sue

IF I understand anything about clustered sql and logging, the sql server should take the log file and recreate the same scenario on the passive side of the cluster.
Is that correct?
Hi Sue,
Yes, for AlwaysOn Availability Group, the transaction log is basically replayed from the primary to all of the secondary's.
Besides, from my point of view, as we cannot directly restore a database that is part of an Availability Group, it is a good way using SSIS task to drop and recreate all tables then transfer data from the restored database to the primary replica. Schema changes
and data changes will also happen on the secondary replica.
There are some similar links for your reference.

Migration from of database and app from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g

Hello Every body,
Lately, I have been requested to migrate one inhouse developed hub application from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g. The objective is to move application and also the database to Oracel 10g.
Here is the current platform:
OS Win 2008 64 bit
JDK 1.4.2
JBoss 3.2.5
EJB 2.1
My question is what kind of issues you guys see in above upgrade. As far I know, Schema and Database migration can be done by Oracle workbench. Oracle 10g supports JDK 1.4. Oracle 10g also supports EJB 2.1.
Anything, I need to take into consideration or any risks or problems. I would like to list down all the risks, and accordingly, I am thinking of start the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zeeshan Qureshi

In general the Java/J2EE application needs work in the following categories:
1. Connection Settings: Use Oracle JDBC drivers, create new data sources, connection pools and what not. Disable AUTOCOMMIT for Oracle JDBC Connections.
2. For EJBs, you should regenerate the entity beans because some object names/column names might have changed in oracle.
3. Any custom SQL that is in use in the EJBs will have to be ported to Oracle just as you would do in stored procedures and other applications.
4. For Java front-ends, if you are using callouts to stored procedures and expecting result sets then they will require some changes. You need to modify the stored procedure call signature to include the REF CURSOR variables and process them.
5. Changes to any SQL Server specific database functions manipulating character/date data will be required.
6. CLOB/BLOB/XML apis are different across databases so if you are using those then focus on them as well.
7. Retreiving Auto/generated keys from database also may need changes from what I have seen.
Hope this helps..

Prakash

How to copy procedures and packages from one server to another?

Hi,
I have 439 packages and 178 procedures located in one server called MAXWELL.
I need to copy these objects to another server called TITAN.
The schema names is SPCBR in both servers.
So both servers have an instance running with this schema SPCBR.
SPCBR in TITAN server has their tables with table data which was generated by an export/import process from MAXWELL server.
However, procedures and packages were not copied by the export/import because I used the clause 'tables'.
Now, what can I do in order to equalize procedures and packages in both databases? I can't risk in damaging or duplicating data in my database located in TITAN server, ok?
Thanks,

it extracts one procedure, function or package to a file. Thats it. If you
wanted to get all of the procedures in a schema extracted to the current working

How to get log information from database server?

Oracle 9.2 in Unix
we got blocking error in the production database last midnight for 40 min and nothing was being processed during that time which delayed our production night batch process. Then it was gone after 40min. I like to know what was happening during that time in the database. My question is where I can find error in the database server? In bdump? Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
S.

If you have jobs regularly collect statspack report, then it will be easier to troubleshoot. You can just pull the report from the time period.
A couple of things you can check if there's any storage issue during the time, like some backup or other jobs running taken all OS storage, so Oracle hung because no space to archive logs. Usually this will log errors in alert.log but if bdump destination also full, the error will not be logged.
Check OS activity during the time frame, what's CPU and IO activity. See if you have sar installed and configured
check OS message file.

Reading text file from database server in OA Page

Hi Guys,
I am trying to embed an applet with in an OA Page. The applet is used to mainly for showing Gantt chart. I have to pass my connection details from OA Page to applet, I dont pass directly the connection details to the applet so i am placing all the server details, user name and password in a text file on the database server.
So from the OA Page i have to read the contents of the file on the database server and pass them to the applet using the <PARAM> tag. My question is how to read the text file from the database server.Any Inputs?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Nagesh Manda.

If the file to be read is on the database, then it makes sense to use the pl/sql code to read the file. Make a call to this pl/sql code from page controller to get back the values.

Separate Reporting and Analysis from Workspace

In the prior releases we have dedicated a separate server for Financial Reporting modules (FR web, scheduler, print server, etc.). In 11.1.2.x, we have Hyperion Financial Reporting - Web Application and Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework - Web Application.
What is the difference between these two? If I want to dedicate a single host for only report generation/report viewing how, could I separate Framework and Web services apart from Workspace (which we want on a server with the rest of Foundation services (HSS/APS/EPMA/OHS/EAS, etc.). Currently I have Reporting and Analysis Framework and Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework - Web Application on one server and Financial Reporting - Web Application by itself on a second. Which service needs the most horsepower/resources when executing batches/books and/or the odd 'large report'? I think it was implied that the Web deployments can be on more than one server and one can load balance the two instances. But suppose I really want to isolate the report processing away from Foundation Services/ Is there a recommended way to do that?
Thanks in advance,
-Vince

John,
No, I don't believe it will remove the apps and I have to change the target for each of the three apps to remove them from EPMSever0, and ensure they are in new managed server(s).
That's what I had to do when I separated Planning. (That was your hint, thanks)
Hope my plan is fine. (Sure will be doing a cold backup)
Thanks

Htmldb 1.6 and 10.2 database server

Hi,
I've been trying to find out is it supported to upgrade database which hosts htmldb 1.6 to 10.2. In htmldb 1.6 install document it says htmldb 1.6 should be installed to 9i or 10.1 database. I was not able to find anything from certify for HTMLDB. Can you please let me know is htmldb 1.6 certified against 10.2 database server.
Thanks,
Nina

Nina - 1.6 and 10.2 will work. The install guide for 1.6 doesn't mention 10.2 because it was published 2 years ago.
