Could anybody advise the general procedure for SAP system migration?

I may have chance to be involved into a SAP system migration. Generlly speaking, there are several SAP instances will be migrated into 1 box.The existing instances are 4.6C, and the target instance is ECC6.
Could anybody provide me some reference material for SAP system migration? or Is there any tools or software can facilitate the migration?
Thank you so much!
null

We are currently running and upgrade from 46C to ECC6 and I have found the following very usefull:

Backup and Recovery procedures for production system

I am trying to decide and test a best backup/recovery approach for our DBXML database in the production environment. Right now I am trying to go through the documentation.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg_txn/CXX/filemanagement.html
What is the best option among offline, hot and incremental backups?
I am thinking of implementing incremental backups.
What are the constraints in implementing incremental backups? Is there a detailed step by step example to do this?
Can I test the backup and recovery procedures by copying the db files and log files from Linux (production) environment to my local machine (Windows XP)? I see only one log.00000000xx file in production and staging environments. It is of same size 52428800 in all our environments (both production and staging) at this point of time.
What is __db.001 file? What is the significance of this file in backup and recovery procedures?
A detailed input with example is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advancs

Raghu,
A couple of points, up front:
1. the __db* files are the environment (cache, locks, various shared memory regions), and are not part of backup, other than the fact that you need to checkpoint or otherwise flush your cache to your database(s) for a full backup.
2. log files are not architecture-neutral. That is you can't use a log file created on linux and just use it safely on another hardware platform. It's OK to copy them around, but they can only be used on the same architecture that created them. Database files (containers) are entirely portable among hardware and operating system platforms.
I don't know of a step-by-step cookbook for backups. This is because of the variations among application needs. However, the procedures described on this page are pretty straightforward:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg_txn/CXX/backuprestore.html
I'm not sure what you mean by "constraints" on incremental backups. The only constraint is that you need to have a full backup first, or you won't be able to recover properly. Based on what I said above, the other constraint is that you'll only be able to recover on a machine of the same architecture as the one that created the log files.
As for testing, you can certainly copy your database and log files to your Windows machine, treating Windows as an offline backup. If you want to test recovery, you need to copy the files back to Linux. You'll start seeing additional log files when your log data starts to exceed the configured log file size.
Let me know if you need more clarification,

Procedure for BI Systems after HSC

Hello,
My landscape of BI 7.0 is formed for:
BID - BI Desenvolvimento
BIQ - BI Qualidade
BIP - BI Production
The systems BID (DEV) and BIP (PRD) they were created starting from
Homogenêos System Copy (HSC) of BIQ (QAS) and they are OK.
We have a system DBW (Productive BW 3.5 still) and I need to connect
BIQ and BIP at the same time in DBW (BW 3.5). But when I execute the
connection of BIQ with DBW in the transaction RSA1, I lose the
connection of BIP with DBW. I am using Logical Systems and different
RFC'S but even so a connection eliminates the other.
Does it exist more some procedure that should be executed in BID and
BIP by them have been created starting from a homogenênos (HSC) of
BIQ?

Some confusion about Time Machine backup mechanism for duo systems

I want to install an addtional SSD as a replacement for the Superdrive,and was planning to make a clean installation of Mountain Lion on that SSD and keep the original Lion System in the HDD intact.
But that raised a question for the Time Machine.
Can I use the original time machine backup partition of my external drive to backup both drives? If this can be done,wil the new contents in the mountain lion be backed up incrementally to the external drive or it will overwrite the drive?
Can I use either time machine to backup both HDD and SSD,or I have to back them up seperately from two systems?
As that external drive is the only backup destination I have, try these stuff seems risky, so, can anyone help?
Thanks

Can I use the original time machine backup partition of my external drive to backup both drives?
Yes.
If this can be done,wil the new contents in the mountain lion be backed up incrementally to the external drive or it will overwrite the drive?
Time Machine creates a series of snapshots of each volume it backs up. A snapshot is created by backing up only the files that have changed since the last snapshot was taken. In that sense, it's incremental.
Can I use either time machine to backup both HDD and SSD...?
Yes.

External procedures for RAC system

Hi Experts,
I have 4 nodes 11.1 RAC in red hat. I saw some node listener configuration with IP=FIRST and other nodes does not have IP=FIRST entry.
I made a search onlin and get statement as IP=FIRST at listening endpoints are for external procedures in the database.
I want to know which means is for external procedures in RAC ? does expert can show some example ?
Thanks
JIm

No the IP=FIRST is not for external procedures. It is to restrict the listener to listening on the specific IP address specified not just the port on any address. This is explained in the NET SERVICES GUIDE

BackUp Procedure for OAM

how can we backup OAM? What are all the things that are to be backed up as a routine process?
What iam trying to achieve is :
Everyday a backup process runs and everything in the backup folder is backed up.
So what and how will I push to this folder so that backup of the same can happen.

A complete OAM installation would have -
1) Install directories for the various components,
2) Web server configuration mods, and
3) Configuration and policy data.
For 1, just back up once after your initial install is done. Typically you would not be changing things around a whole lot in the installation directories - mainly files inside the config directory and logs written by OAM. You can selectively back up those pieces and also any other files (e.g. stylesheet customizations etc.) where you do make changes. While patching/migrating, OAM creates backups before upgrading the installs.
For 2, OAM itself (usually) creates backups of the web server configuration before adding in its edits and if you have webpass, policy manager and webgate on the same web server, you might have up to 3 versions of the configuration files. If your web server is IIS, you need to create the backup yourself.
For 3, you can use snapshots using Configuration Manager (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28196_01/idmanage.1014/b32392/overview.htm) - that you can restore from later.
Hope that helps.

Boot with Startup CD plus simple backup?

Is it possible to reboot to a formatted iMac with just the original 10.6 startup
cd plus a simple backup (SilverKeeper) of library, system, applications and users? Now using 10.6.8.

Gordon McGilvray wrote:

Yes you hold c and it boots off the installer disk that came with your comptuer or the OS X version you upgraded with.
You can also install OS X onto a external drive provided it's formatted HFS+Journaled in Disk Utility.
Gordon McGilvray wrote:

Ok, you don't need to boot from the installer disk, all it does is install OS X and perform some disk repairs and reformatting. You go this route if you have to rebuild OS X completely, or reinstall it over the previous OS X to solve issues. Are you having a issue of some sort?
We could use some more information why,
What you seem to want to do is CLONE your boot drive to a Disk Utility > HFS+ journaled formatted (self powered) external drive.
You can do this with the free (donations accepted) Carbon Copy Cloner, which clones and makes the external drive "bootable"
When your done cloning, the external clone is hold option bootable which you select the external clone to boot from.
CCC only does OS X, no bootcamp or filevaulted drives.
Once you have a clone, it can be updated much faster for small changes, the first clone takes longer as everything is copied.
Only use one drive for a clone, it's a good idea to have two drives with two clones rotated every couple of weeks, updated daily with the auto-updte feature.
This way if somethng goes bad, at least you can go back a week or two and recover by option booting off the older clone.
More hardware redundancy also protects your data from hardware failure. Store a clone off site for any potential fire, theft etc.

Simple backup - sync two folders

I want to create a very simple backup process for a folder (with subfolders) to an identically named folder on an external drive.
Right now I am just copying the folder with automator - but it takes several minutes as it writes each and every files regardless of whether it is new or not..
Can I get it to sync the folders so that it only copies over new (or modified) files?
I did find an action to do this in the apple downloads but it required Leopard.
thanks

Hi Joseph,
Might try one of these instead...

Packup - a simple backup/restore/migration script for Pacman

I have seen numerous posts on the forums asking for an easy way to backup and restore installed software for purposes of backup, migration or simply for convenience. Packup attempts to fill this void. Simply put, Packup is an ncurses wrapper for Pacman which provides a simple backup/restore/migration system for Arch. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!

I think you miscopied something there...
if [ $? = 1 ]; ... elif [ $? = 1 ]; ...
it's kinda redundant... shouldn't one of those be =0? or =3? i'm not even sure which function you're referencing.

Is possible control tape library slot 1 - 10 for file system backup

hi ..
i am new to osb , i just install and setup osb , i have a question as below , hope expert can help me
env: testing
rhel 5.5
tape library with 20 slot
file system backup
1. is possible osb only use slot 1 - 10 for file system backup ? amanda can control slot x - slot y for the configuration .
2. how do i label the tape for slot 1 - slot 10 by obtool ? how to control osb auto load the tape for next backup ? where to check the log say that next tape is tape-02 ?
thanks ..

hi dcooksey
how do i use list for a tape drive...for example, if you want tape drive A to only use slots 1-10 from obtool or webtool ?
becoz i new to backup solution & osb ( i always use ghost or acronis to clone the image ) , my thinking as below , pls correct me if i am wrong
slot 1 - 10 for daily backup
slot 11-16 for full system backup
slot 17 - 20 reserve ( this tape only use for full system backup before perform any application upgrade patches , )
daily backup mon - fri ( 2 week ) ( no backup on saturday and sunday ) , server application offline
full system backup friday ( 1 , 14 on calendar ) every 2 week perform full system backup after daily backup completed
for upgrade application ,
perform full system backup after daily backup , then release the server to application team to perform upgrading .
so how to set my media family for the above setting ? the slot configuration is control by media family ?
hope you can help ...

Stored Procedures for Simple SQL statements

Hi Guys,
We are using Oracle 10g database and Web logic for frontend.
The Product is previously developed in DotNet and SQL Server and now its going to develop into Java (Web Logic) and Oracle 10g database.
Since the project is developed in SQL Server, there are lot many procedures written for simple sql queries. Now I would like to gather your suggestions / pointers on using procedures for simple select statements or Inserts from Java.
I have gathered some list for using PL/SQL procedure for simple select queries like
Cons
If we use procedures for select statements there are lot many Ref Cursors opened for Simple select statements (Open cursors at huge rate)
Simple select statements are much faster than executing them from Procedure
Pros
Code changes for modifying select query in PL/SQL much easier than in Java
Your help in this regard is more valuable. Please post your points / thoughts here.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas

On the client side, you have an interface that deals with this SQL cursor. It can be a Java class, a Delphi dataset, or a PL/SQL refcursor.
Yes, cursors are created/opened at a huge rate by the SQL engine. But is is capable of doing that. What you need to do to facilitate that is send it SQLs that uses bind variables. This enables the SQL engine to simply re-use the existing cursor for that SQL.
Simple select statements are much faster than executing them from ProcedureAlso not really correct. SQL performance is SQL performance. It has nothing to do with how you create the SQL on the client side and what client interface you use. The SQL engine does not care whether you use a PL/SQL ref cursor or a Java class as your client interface. That does not change the SQL engine's performance.
Yes, this can change the performance on the client side. But that is entirely in the hands of the developer and how the developer selected to use the available client interfaces to interface with the SQL cursor in the SQL engine.
Pros
Code changes for modifying select query in PL/SQL much easier than in JavaThis is not a pro merely for ref cursors, but using PL/SQL as the abstraction layer for the data model implemented, and having it provide a "business function" interface to clients, instead of having the clients dealing with the complexities of the data model and SQL.
I would seriously consider ref cursors in your environment. With PL/SQL servicing as the interface, there is a single place to tune SQL, and a single place to update SQL. It allows one to make data model changes without changing or even recompiling the client. It allows one to add new business logical and processing rules, again without having to touch the client.

Backup solutions for Solaris 10 systems

I am trying to put together a backup solution for a number of SunFire V240 systems running Solaris 10. We do run our backups using NetWorker, along with a couple of high powered back up systems. But this solution I am trying to create is something that can be performed by our first responders, our help desk folks. The systems in question are already in production but we do have days where we can bring them down for maintenance or whatever we need to do. Therefore, I can implement this new solution during the day(s) of maintenance time.
I was looking at using Solaris Volume Manager and its metadata configurations. But I am unsure how to start with files sytems already created. I want to be able to have a backup of the boot disk in the event that the hard drive in which it resides goes down. I want our help desk folks be able to immediately bring the system right back up with little down time during the evening to late hours.
I guess what I am looking for are exact steps to help configure this backup solution with Solaris Volume Manager for our production systems. Can anyone help?

Hey there,
Have a look at this excellent guide. I think that you may find what you need here. If not drop an email back. To begin with you need an extra disk(s) since you will mirror your data. This is sort of a pre-requisite.
Good luck,
Pierre
