Servers on HANA

Hi,
When i went through the documentation, to know the status of the HANA, we need to make sure that index server, name server, preprocessor servers are up and running. A few queries on this:
1. where do we can see in HANA studio about the details of the above services. Like if one of them is not up, where the logs of that server are displayed etc. In Studio, i am able to see only that there is a clue telling " All services are running ", but not details of each of that service.
2. Can we see the contents of nameserver.ini, index.ini files and their contents from HANA studio or they are accessible only at OS level ?
Best Regards,
DVRK

Hi DVRK,
1. where do we can see in HANA studio about the details of the above services. Like if one of them is not up, where the logs of that server are displayed etc. In Studio, i am able to see only that there is a clue telling " All services are running ", but not details of each of that service.
In the Overview tab of SAP HANA Studio, you can see "All services started" if everything is OK in your SAP HANA system. You can find each service status in the Landscape tab.
2. Can we see the contents of nameserver.ini, index.ini files and their contents from HANA studio or they are accessible only at OS level ?
You can find the contents in Configuration tab.
Best regards,

CO-PA Accelerator: Error on Distribution - "Access to HANA is Locked"

We have setup the CO-PA Accelerator to connect ECC to HANA using SLT. Data is replicating from ECC to HANA and we are able to read data from HANA in ECC via KE24.
However, when we go to attempt a distribution, we get the error message the HANA is locked. The following possible causes are given:
- No replication has yet been performed successfully.
- Not all CO-PA realignment runs have yet been replicated to the SAP HANA database
- Relevant changes in the CO-PA settings (such as in transactions KEA0 or KEQ3) have yet been transferred to SAP HANA.
- Access to SAP HANA has been deactivated manually.
We are then pointed to KEHC for troubleshooting. Everything in KEHC is green lit, except the Data Transfer light which is not lit at all. We also do not have any time stamps for CO-PA Replication as we are using SLT to replicate the data.
My expectation was that we would not need to use "CO-PA Replication" if using SLT. Is that not correct?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

This is resolved.
Turns out that Basis recently added a second app server to our development ECC system. We didn't know this when we installed the DMIS and the HANA DB client on ECC. While the DMIS covers all the servers, the HANA DB client needed to be installed on each server independently. Our jobs that hit the one with the client worked fine. When they ran on the server without the client installed, we got the generic HANA Lock message.

BW on HANA, where BW is on premise and HANA in cloud

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to install BW on HANA, where the BW component is installed on-premise and the HANA component is in the cloud (i.e. AWS hosted). I do know that "BW on HANA in the Cloud" exists, but this is not what my partner would like to do!
Thanks!
Jeffrey D'Silva

Hi Jeffrey,
No, I would not recommend that. If you put the BW components on premise (primary application server, additional app servers) and HANA database in cloud you will need a very high network bandwith to connect (min 2 Gbit/sec or higher), and you need to deal with the network latency as well.
Please steer your customer away from this idea!
They should explore the SPA HEC for the BW on HANA cloud deployment: Cloud Options | SAP HANA

Excel data source and the use of add command

HI, Looking for suggestions on how to work with multiple inputs that cannot be joined directly. Here's the background.
The Report currently reads in two different Ecel files and uses 3 SQL commands to query an Oracle Database. I need to join the 5 data sources and am having issues with the 2 excel files. In one file I need to be able to derive a field based on another column in the file In order to create the join condition to the SQL commands. I'd equate this to a case statement in SQL, but how goes one do that using the 'add command' feature? What is the syntax?
Next I would need to join (left outer) the two excel files using two fields from file A (a1, a2) and 3 fields from file B (b1,b2,b3), where a1=b1 and b2 <= a2 <= b3 when rows from A exist in B. If row A does not exist in B then we still want it in the report and available to left outer join to the 3 oractab data sources.
runtime is also a concern.
Any Suggestions?

hi Elena,
in this case the use of subreports is not recommended. that's because you're exporting to excel and you need data in columns across the report. subreports will not, unfortunately, give you what you need.
this would bring you back to joining the datasources. what i would recommend is looking into using 'oracle database link' to link your oracle db to excel files. here's one article as an example but you may be able to find a better one. if you have questions on this please ask them on an oracle forum as the syntax that you need will be database specific.
a lot of databases have this type of technology which allows you to create a view to other data. sql server has 'linked servers', sap hana has 'smart data access'. essentially you are creating a non-materialized view to the external data. then this view is available on the main oracle server where you established this connection. this should be a lot easier than trying to bring a bunch of command objects together off independent datasources inside of crystal.

Explorer error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list." from HANA

I am getting this dumb error "Failed to retrieve the Information Spaces list. // Request timed out" in Explorer's "Manage Spaces" area every time I click on the analytic view listed under my HANA sources of the Explorer. So, my HANA source is visible, and analytic views are visible in Explorer as well, but I cannot get any Information Space created because of the error, and I could not find the error and its causes in Explorer docs.
I already
- upgraded HANA db to Rev 18 (for some reasons I cannot u[grade this system to SPS3 yet) and BIP and Explorer 4.0 are on the latest Patch 8 of SP2.
- configured connection using IDT defined connection,
- restarted servers in CMS already 100s of times.
There is enough free space on the BO server's drive: 33GB. BO is a single server based on Win2008 R2 SP1 with 40GB RAM.
Any ideas what else I can do to get rid of this issue? It is a test server, so I cannot open customer msg to SAP Support.
Thanks,

Process to Upgrade SAP HANA from SPS06 to SPS07 on distributed systems

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to upgrade our SAP HANA system system from SPS06 to SPS07, but I have below queries on the same:
1) Do we need to consider any Notes before applying the upgrade for pre and post steps (as per my knowledge we have to consider post upgrade note: 1962472, are there any other too?)
2) As per my knowledge, we just need to stop SAP app systems and then backup of HANA system
3) Also we have a distributed environment in our landscape (three multiple hosts), what could be the upgrade approach, is it same as like single host environment (as /hana/shared will be the common to all distributed hosts)
Could anyone clarify my questions please.
Also for your information we have BW systems on top of HANA DB
Thanks very much in advance !
Kind Regards,
Arun Reddy

Hi John,
Thank you for the response, our source and target levels are (Source - 1.00.69.00.385196 Target - 1.00.74.03.392810)
I just wanted to ask you one more quick question here, can't we upgrade the above mentioned versions in one go? or we need to upgrade in two steps like, at first upgrading from 1.00.69.00.385196 to 1.00.73.00.389160 and then to target level 1.00.74.03.392810?
Also as you said in distributed environment we can upgrade as same like single host environment, so it same like below approach?
1) stopping the hana database
2) navigate to media path and then execute hdblcm in gui or command line
3) select option upgrading existing system
4) provide the passwords and system poped-up inputs
5) select the target levels of HANA components
6) once upgrade done successfully, then need to upgrade hana client in all app servers
if my above assumption is correct, then I have couple of questions like:
1) in which host we need to login and perform the upgrade? (as we are having three hosts- HANADB1, HANADB2, HANADB3) , is it okay we can do from any of the three hosts?
2) Also if upgrade stopped at middle due to errors, do we have option like to start the upgrade from the point where it stop? else we need to restore the lat successful backup and then again need to perform the upgrade from starting point?
Sorry for asking many questions, i have done the upgrade in single host environment, but not on distributed. So wanted to be make sure with all points to action the activity.
Thanks for your help and patience in advance !

HT5390 mac os x is there a maximum on connected servers in the sidebar of the Finder window?

Hello,
I have a server with four partitions connected to my mac. At startup they
automatically connect, and show up in the sidebar. Or... that's how it was for years.
The new Mountain Lion sidebar shows only two of them, and it is impossible to
put the others in the sidebar. It refuses to add them.
Is there a limit of servers(partitions) that may be added to the left sidebar of the finder?
ps. Maybe i am the only one that has this issue.
I look for a .plist preference file to delete, but i don't know which one.
Thanks
Hans

Hello Hans,
Normally in Client OSX the limit is 10.
Mount that Share once, then once the Globe Icon shows up on the Desktop, drag that Globe Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash. You now have a Dynamic Mount, a quick click on the Icon in the Dock will connect you.
On the multiple Shortcuts...
Mount them all, when show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, (you can even rename them once there, if you wish), drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
To automount them, drag those Aliases to the Accounts Pref Pane's Login Items Window.

Server 2012 R2 Hyper-v Servers not being discovered by the mp

Sorry if this is a dup question. I did see the one for 2008 but that didn't fix my issue.
I have 4 hyper-v servers running server 2012 r2 in a cluster. I have scom 2012 r2 and it detects the cluster and 3 out of the 4 hyper-v servers. the 4th server it can see under windows but does not discover the hyper-v components.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,
You can install the Agent on the server manually to check the result.

EDW layer as HANA for Non SAP environment

Dear All,
We would like to build HANA as EDW Layer, Would please suggest best practice , Node configuration etc
Regards,
manoj.

Hi Manoj,
I suggest you check out the material about BW on HANA on http://experiencesaphana.com.
There is no general answer, as the configuration highly depends on you data volume, update frequency, etc.
The largest single HANA server available comes with 2 TB of memory - that gives you about 1 - 1.2 TB in data storage (the rest will be used for processing the data). That doesn't sound like much, but early BW on HANA projects have seen a data volume reduction of about 1:5, so if your existing data warehouse is less than 5 TB, a single node might be an option...
If you go for a multi-node system, there's not a lot of options for landscape configuration. Just follow the [scaleout guide|http://help.sap.com/hana/hana1_imdb_scale_en.pdf]...
Not an official best practice, but personally I would say that bigger is better - so if you decide to build a multi-node landscape, I would go with XL servers...
cheers

HANA SID naming "best practice"

Hi,
We are about to implement some HANA's as databases for Netweaver systems.
Any recommendations on what SID's to give the HANA systems?
The same as the Netweaver system for which it is a DB servers perhaps? (you will now have duplicate SIDs registered for licensing, the SLD, Solution Manager, etc.).
Something completely different?
What is the best approach in terms of naming convention in your experience?
Thanks!
Adriaan

Hi Adriaan,
from Hana Installation Guide
11.40 sid
Specifies a system ID. The SAP system ID (SID) is the identifier for the SAP HANA system.
Requirements
● The ID must be unique throughout your organization and consistent throughout
your SAP system installation landscape.
● If you want to install an additional application server instance, make sure that no
gateway instance with the same SAP SID exists in your SAP system landscape.
● The ID must consist of exactly three alphanumeric characters. Only uppercase
letters are allowed. The first character must be a letter (not a digit).
● The following IDs are reserved and cannot be used: ADD ALL AMD AND ANY ARE
ASC AUX AVG BIT CDC COM CON DBA END EPS FOR GET GID IBM INT KEY LOG
LPT MAP MAX MIN MON NIX NOT NUL OFF OLD OMS OUT PAD PRN RAW REF
ROW SAP SET SGA SHG SID SQL SUM SYS TMP TOP UID USE USR VAR.
Syntax
In the command line, the following syntax is used:
--sid=<SID>
or, in short form:
-s <SID>
Remarks
This parameter is available in interactive mode.
This parameter can be specified once and automatically substituted throughout all
parameter defaults, which use sid as part of their default value.
11.41 storage_cfg
Specifies a location where a global.ini is defined. It is possible to set up a storage

HANA High Availability System Vs Storage Vs VIP failover

Dear Experts,
Hope your all doing great. I would like to seek your expertise on HANA high availability best practice. We have been deciding to use TDI for BW on HANA. The next big question for us is how make it available atleast 99.99%.
I was going through multiple documents, SDN forums, etc..but would like to see how the experts are performing in real time.
My view -
Virtual IP failover is a common HA practice which have been used to failover CI / DB hosts depends on failure/maintenance. In this case, both nodes can be used to run app servers.
System replication - HANA based required secondary standby node, which doesn't accept user requests, but replicate the database from primary using logs after initial data snapshot either synchronous or Asynchronous. (Can be used as HA or DR - if servers are between different data centers).
Storage replication - HANA based required secondary standby node, which replicates SAN for HA/DR.
Could you please provide your expertise method you followed for HANA HA and what are the pros, cons and challenges that you have faced or facing.
Thanks
Yoga

Thanks forbrich
Do you know any specific doc that describes the installation and configuration steps of 10g RAC on NAS? If possible, can you provide some link that I could use to perform this task?
I have done RAC installations on SAN without any problems and its something I'm fairly experienced with. With NAS I am not really comfortable since I can't seem to find any documentation that describes step by step installation procedure or guidelines for that matter.
Thank you for your input

Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) test systems on same HANA DB server Appliance

Hello
I wander is it possible to have Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U). All for test/system purposes:
I am sure we need separate application servers for Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U),
I would have question regarding Appliance i.e Hana DB server. can Solution manager, PI and ERP incl FICA (IS-U) products reside on same Appliance i.e Hana DB server in MCOS or MCOD? (I am sure that for production use this is no-go option)
What is the case when renting cloud solution?
Thank you a lot in advance

Check the java part, most of the Solman Web Based thing use the java, check the management console to ensure message server and dispatcher proper work, normally is: http://hostname:50113.
If central note give you problems deimplement all the not complete implemented notes and use SUM
and MOPZ to update your system with the last SP, then apply the central note acording to your SP level.
We found that have the system in the last level prevents a lot of problems because of not complete implemented notes.

System backup of HANA server and HANA DB.

Hi .
I'm creating some of documents for maintenance operation - hana server .
I want to confirm about backup of "HANA Server" . Also HANA server is SUSE linux , so normally I get backup of linux server by dump/restore command , use dd command when server offline and on rescue mode kernel , or use something disk(partition) image backup tool .
I think it can use for SUSE linux server - HANA Server too.
In this time , if I get backup image of all disk that contains all HANA related files including persistent storage (of course hana is offline when get backup) , then I restore this image , can I use this HANA DB ?
I see some of documents of HANA backup , but I never find about this type system backup . It is not supported operation?
Regards,
JT

HI Jim,
standard Linux system backup/recovery methods apply also for the SAP HANA servers.
However, backing up the SAP HANA database is only supported by the backup commands.

DMP created in HANA when previewing crystal layout

Hi All
I have created a production order layout to be used in SAP HANA.
The layout works fine in crystal, as soon as you preview the layout in sap..a dmp file gets created.
another little error pops up.."virtual pure call" and sap shuts down.
they are Version 9.0(9.02.001) PL09 HOTFIX 1
This is the connection string. I am not sure if that is causing the issue:
Thank you all
