Sharing DB server among several SAP instances

When discussing possible server consolidation scenarios the following question arose:
Is it possible and supported to use one database server for several SAP instances?
E.g. One instance of SQL Server holds four databases for "dev" + "test" + "sandbox1" + "sandbox2"
and four servers (three of them virtual servers in VMware ESX) access this shared DB server to access their databases.
The idea is to have one heavyweight DB server accessing SAN and running the DB load of several non productive SAP instances. One would have to pay only one SQLServer license...
Kind regards, Rudi

Hi Dan,
The advantages of multiple instances/one database each are:
- Each instance can be stopped and started independently. This allows you to have downtime on one system without impacting another.
- Each instance can be patched separately. (This can also be viewed as a disadvantage from an admin overhead point of view)
- MS SQL memory parameters (min. server memory/max. server memory) are configued at the instance level therefore you can better configure these parameters to meet the specific requirements of the database e.g. R/3, BI, EP. The alternative is one memory setting for all DB types.
Thanks,
Chris

IPC 4.0 - installing on a server with no SAP instance

Hello all,
as part of a hardware migration, I want to re-install IPC 4.0.
Currently IPC resides on the same server as our SRM4.0 system.
In the new setup IPC will reside on its own server with no other SAP installations (and therefore no SAP gateway).
I am trying to test this scenario by connecting to our current test system, but the RFC connections to IPC from SM59 don't work.
Does anyone know a way of making this work?
I presume I could install a standalone SAP gateway on the same server as IPC, but I would like to know if there are other options?
I've tried adjusting the dispatcher.properties file, but SM59 connection still doesn't work, so either I haven't created the right entries or I am on the wrong track.
Regards...John

Hi all,
Here are the settings from my dispatcher.properties file:
rfcEnabled=true
rfcGateway=10.xxx.xx.xxx:3301 (I've amended the actual ip address)
rfcDispatcherProgId=IPC_RFC_DISPATCHER
rfcServerCount=1
rfcServerProgIdPrefix=IPC_RFC_SERVER_
and here's the error I see in my IPCDispError.log:

Sharing external drive among several Macintosh computers

Hi everyone,
I need a seemingly simple solution for my home. 3 Macs, all connected to the same router (hence in the same subnet, on the same network) should all be able to access an external firewire hard drive connected to one of the macs.
I'm surprised, confused and disappointed that this is so hard, even impossible(?). Once again: one of the Macs is constantly turned on and has a firewire hard drive constantly mounted on the desktop. This firewire HDD should be accessible for all other Macs on the network to save photos to, backups to, etc..
I'm avoiding a LAN drive because I cannot format it to HFS+ and I believe FAT and network file system will have limitations as opposed to the native HFS+. Additionally since I have a gigabit network I'd like to be able to utilise this high bandwith for file transfers and not limit myself to 100MB/s that the external LAN drives support.
Any help will be highly appreciated, thanks!
Roman

Just for the record, and perhaps to help others who faced this problem:
I haven't found a way to share a USB drive, like I wrote in my post. To my pleasant surprise a firewire drive can be shared splendidly.

Configure VMServer and Migrate the SAP instances

Hi All,
We have already 5 instance installed on Windows 2008 SP2 Server (4 Processors & 64 GB RAM) and MS SQL Server 2008.
We are planning to configure VMWareand migrate all our instance to migrate to each V Machines
Please give some details, how to migrate all our instance into Virtual servers. I have gone through some of the documents, but i am not clear how to start.
Regards
Ponnusamy

Hi All,
We are planning for Hyper-V based virtualization, which is inbuilt feature of Windows 2008 R2 Server.
Here is my server Configurations and sap instances on that server
HDD u2013 6TB
RAM - 64 GB
OS u2013 Win 2K8 R2
DB u2013 SQL Server 2K8 R2
SAP SRM 7.0
SAP MDM 7.1
SAP NW EP 7.01
SAP ECC IDES 6.04
SAP CE 7.2
SAP PI7.1 EHP1
Here are my doubts
1. When we enable the Hyper-V role and configure VM, Is there any change happens in Network or LAN settings
2. We plan to Homogeneous system copy to move SAP instance to VM
2. will it possible to run sap applications on Host machine and VM parallely.
3. What points I have to consider before starting Configure VM

IDOC to File Port on Windows Server from Unix SAP System

Hi All:
I want to use an IDOC to create a text file on a Windows server. The SAP system runs on Unix. I have no problem creating the text file on the same Unix server running the SAP instance but I can not figure out how to write the file to a share or UNC path on a Windows server. I tried to create a logical file path using transaction FILE and then create a logical port in WE21. The IDOC failed because it is still looking on the Unix server to write the file. Any ideas from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, there are probably lots of ways to skin this cat.
To make the process asynchronous you probably want to be along the lines of either updating a table or placing a file on the Windows machine, and then having a database process or Windows program to watch for the file or database table entry and triggering your bat file when it appears.

Number of SAP instance for IDM 7.1 IdP ? IDM 7.1 SP5 with UI also for 7.2 ?

Hello,
I've just read the SAP NW IDM Identity Provider Implementation Guide. It seems very interesting. One question though : it seems the Identity Provider must be deployed on a NW CE 7.2 system.
So we end up having a NW CE 7.1 Ehp1 for IDM UI with IDM runtime, designtime and database (all on the same server) and we must have another server or another SAP instance for the IdP with CE 7.2 ?
Will IDM 7.1 SP5 UI also be compatible with / be developed for CE 7.2 to avoid another SAP instance ?
Finally will Windows 2008 be officially certified for IDM 7.1 ?
Thanks in advance,
Hervé

Hello Petr, I think this might be a problem. Probably you would be able to do what you want to do within a portal setup, where IdM is providing content to that portal. However, the development would take place in the portal and not per se be a development in the IdM UI. As I understand it the IdM UI is configurable to some extent, but not changeable by customers.

Monitor SAP Instance using Webdynpro

Experts,
I have a requirement to show the server SAP Instance status in WebDynpro Application.
for an example:
My server name : myserver
SAP Instance : DE3
I need to create a webdynpro iView which shows the server status like below:
a) If the instance is up and running,I need to show that the server status as green.
b) If the instance is not running,I need to show that the server status as red.
Kindly let me know how to proceed.
Thx in Advance.
Regards,
Subbareddy

hi sdnuser1...
you can create such web dynpro application....
you have tutorial for service call..
create aservice call in such a way that it displays the po in a table....
have the table in edit mode....
the values would be present in an internal table...
so once the values are changed have an update button.
call the respective bapi to update it in the database.

NW IdM Install on MS 2003 server with an existing SAP instance

All:
   I have never worked with SQL server before and need help.
My Scenario:
   I have an EP installed with SQL 2005 on Windows 2003.
   I would like to install a NW IdM on the same server.
Coming from a unix/oracle environment, if I need two SAP systems on a single host, I would install two oracle instances and database and each SAP instance would point to its own home and database.
How does it work with SQL server. Will I have to install a new instance of the SQL server software and database and if so where would it be? Right now I see that the EP SAP instance, datafile, Tempdb and Logfile resides on the E:\ drive and I also see a C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server. How does a "named instance" fit in my scenario?
Could someone help me understand?
Thanks
S.

Hi Markus
And thanks to your answer, it helped me to succeed in this first step but unfortunately 1 minute later during the install process I have a new error telling me :
MDB-05042 Error while executing script "CREATE DATABASE BW3 ON PRIMARY ( name = 'BW3DATA1' , filename = ' C:\BW3DATA1\BW3DATA1.mdf ', size = 11000 FILEGROWTH = 60 )....... idem for BWDATA2 ......... idem for BWDATA3   MODIFY FILE encountered operating system error 112 while attempting to expand the physical file. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be create.
Could you help me to solve this error . Thank you in advance.

SQL2008R2 cluster w/ several Named Instances -- shared storage best practice?

Planning four node SQL2008R2 cluster; three named instances. Each named instance requires exclusive use of a drive letter on shared storage. Does the names instance need all it's files (data, logs, tempdb) on that exclusive drive? Or can
it use a drive shared by all 3 instances. E.g. U:\SQLBackup\<instance-name>\...
Thanks,
Bob

You will need at least one drive for each instance + 1 one for cluster Quorum (unless you go for fileshare).
My recommandation would be:
Instance1
E:\SQLDataFiles
F:\SQLLogFiles
G:\SQLTempFiles
Instance2
H:\SQLDataFiles
I:\SQLLogFiles
J:\SQLTempFiles
And so on. If you are considered that you might run out of drive letters you could make a single Drive letter pr. instance and then attach the 3 drives as mountpoints into this drive. That way you will save 2 letters pr. instance.
As for just using one single drive pr. instance with all 3 kinds of files: Don't go there - the performance gain of splitting then into 3 drives as laid out above, is at least 50% in my experience. Remeber also to format the sql drives with NTFS blocksize
of 64K

Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server

Hello Everyone,
I am a new to Essbase
When I am launching the EAS web console and trying to log in, its giving me an error saying "Could not connect to Administration Server".
I looked in ESSBASE log file its showing an error 1051429 : "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []"
This error actually started when I copied an Essbase Application from one of my computers to another computer. All I simply did is copied the application folder into "app" folder. I am not sure if migration
is possible just by copying and pasting the application folders. I am not sure if doing this messed up security with shared services. Also under c:\hyperion\essbase folder I see another text file named "SharedServices_Security_Client".
Its log for today is below:

Central instance and SAP instance

hello,
Im confusing with Central Instance (CI) and SAP instance (Application Instance)
According to my understanding, i think SAP instance is running on all the Aplication servers. (if having 4 Application servers, in all those servers, SAP instance is running concurrently)
But Central instance is running on 1 of the Application servers only.
- How will the SAP decides on which Application should run the central instance.
Will that CI change automatically time to time.... or do we need to allocate 1 Application server as CI server, when doing the installation.
Is there any relationship between Message server and Central instance.
Does CI contains message services and enqueue service...
plz help me to reslove these issues
Rgds,
Edited by: zerandib on Apr 25, 2010 10:45 AM

*CENTRAL INSTANCE: The SAP Central Instance (CI) is a standalone SAP Basis
unit which provides services used by clients connected to the SAP system.
Among these services are the Message server and the Enqueue server, which
run only on the single SAP Central Instance. The Message server maintains a
list of all available resources in an SAP system, determines which instance
a user logs on to during a client connect, and handles all communication
between SAP instances. The Enqueue server is used by SAP to administer the
lock table in a distributed SAP system. If the CI
server hosting the Enqueue service fails, all SAP transaction locks that
have not yet been committed are lost. R/3 guarantees that no user can
perform a transaction while the Enqueue service is unavailable in order to
guarantee database consistency. Placing the Enqueue and Message services
together on the CI is recommended by SAP since the Message service must
always access the Enqueue service for inter-process communication. These
services provide critical SAP functions that, by existing only in the SAP
Central Instance, suffer from being a single point of failure in the SAP
environment. Obviously, the CI, which contains the Enqueue and Message
services, needs to be restarted as quickly as possible following a failure
so that normal operations can resume.*
Central Instance Has Message server and an enque work Process,
Application Server or dialog Server : Does not have message
server but have work process to reduce the Load on CI*

Time Capsule and File Sharing on Server

I am in the process of setting up Server at home. I've run into a snag with using a Time Capsule as my router and backup drive and also enabling file sharing through Server. When adding File Sharing as a service in the Server application, a warning comes up to disable disk sharing at the router before forwarding the ports. The problem is that if I disable disk sharing on the Time Capsule, I can no longer access my Time Capsule drive (for obvious reasons). I was reading another post that discussed enabling disk share from the router and then adding a port for file sharing manually, but that did not seem to work as I cannot remotely access my files.
I am running Server on an iMac which is running Mavericks. The Time Capsule says it's "version 7.6.4". It's a 2TB drive. The iMac is a 2012 system with 1TB drive. I also have a Drobo and a few external drives connected.
I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

If I turn on disk sharing (even without the LAN option) I can select the disk to back up, but then I cannot share files using my server due to the port conflict.
I find this hard to follow.. there is no port conflict on a local lan with sharing.. that is not even possible.
If you have several Macs for instance and set each to share.. they are all able to share.. there is no port conflicts.. You do not need all the devices on different ports because they have different names.
You only get into port conflicts when you have external access turned on.. and are having to port forward. Because the network is identified by a single public IP.. in that case you can port translate but you don't do that in a LAN.
There has to be something screwy in the server version of Mavericks for this to happen.
I am trying to think of way around it.. but I will do a bit of google work first on if others are having issues with latest server version.
What about giving me a few screenshots of the setup...
Network on the server.. and network on the TC ..
And run netstat scan on the server to see the local IP addresses of everything.

MS Commerce Server integration with SAP CRM

Hi,
We're investigating on how to possibly connect a MS eCom solution (MS Commerce Server) to a SAP CRM backend.
With the correct middleware and some Bapi's this would probably be do-able solution I guess, but does anyone have info on standard setups for this?
- Standard Bapi's to use?
- Middleware to be used (will XI do it all or do we need a 3th party middleware solution)?
- Are any of the standard MS eCom screens aligned with what's in the SAP Badi's?
- What about pricing information - is the info returning from the IPC valid for MS eCom display?
Anyway - if anybody has any ideas or experience around this - feel free to reply.
Thanx!

Thanks Baskar for your reply
Can you please endorse if the following activities are needed to perform for its implementation
1. Using MS EPM SDK, create mapping data (XML)
2. Windows Synchronization Service to detect changes in MS EPM
3. SAP PI / XI for web-services
4. BAPIs to update SAP PS project
The same goes to sync SAP PS with MS EPM in reverse order.
Plus, is there standard implementation document available as provided to integrate MS EPM with cProjects?
There are many forum posts for which all replies are related to knowledge sharing, possibility and idea sharing. I don't find any post related to its actual implementation.

How to get the transport number once transported to other SAP Instance

i saved a zprogram in a transport number. but that was transported to another sap instance.....Can i get
the tnumber from my previous instance ????

Hi,
If you want to find the request for that program open the program and then go to the followign path :
Utilities -> versions -> Version Management.
Here you will get all the requests under which the program is saved. If there are more than one request for that particular program the top most request contains the latest code changes.
If you want to do changes for the code after transporting to another server then you have to create new request and have to do chnages under that request.
Hope this will helps you.
