Symantec Backup for SAP on MSSQL

Hi,
anybody using symantec backup software for SAP on MSSQL?.
Can we schedule the backups from DB13 in this case or do we have to schedule the backups from the backup server ?.
thanks,
Sukhdev

Hi,
you can not use DB13 in this case. you have to schedule the backups from the backup server.

CommVault backup for SAP

Hello,
We use CommVault as our backup system and are reviewing the process for DR. We just use the standard CommVault iDataAgent but wonder if it's worth paying extra for the SAP iDataAgent or backing up the system another way (as we use SQL2005, I have suggested buying a new server, cloning it and use the log shipping facility, along with copying the database nightly).
Can anyone shed any light on how they back their systems up, please.
Thanks,
Mark.

Hello,
we've the Commvault / Oracle.
We use actually the following procedure.
1. Backups are planned via DB13
2. Backup will written via a file share to the Commvault-Server.
3. The backuped database files will backuped on the Commvault-Server via Filesystemagent
On MS SQL you can do it as following.
1. setup to run the database service and sql agent service on a domainuser
2. create a share on Commvault-Server and get the domainuser permissions
3. plan your backup on SQL Server via maintenance plan to the share
4. backup the backuped db via filesystemagent on the Commvault-Server

LiveCache for SAP HCM Idocs ECC6EHP4 on windows/mssql

Hello Gurus,
We am trying to process inbound HR Idoc (message type HRMD_A) from a java system and during the process it stucks in error code 51 and error message says - "Unable to establish connection to LiveCache".
Now we dont have any Livecache setup here but we built the system based upon a system copy and i can see some LiveCache system maintained there in tcode DB59 and DBACOCKPIT but we dont have those systems in our landscape as the system copy was from SAP originally.
Now the question is Do we need LiveCache for SAP HR HCM module specifically to proess HR Idocs (inbound only, outbound process works fine).
I read a lot of stufff on live cache technology but i think that is required only for SAP SCM(Supply chain management).
If i need to install livecache what would be the ideal steps, currently my ECC EHP4 system is on windows 2003 server/ MSSQL 2005.
Do i need to install MAXDB along with MSSQL to support livecache as its only supported on MaxDB(correct me if i am wrong).
Any reply will be highly appreciated.

Back up MaxDB thru Symantec Backup Exec

Hi everyone,
I've just installed a 64-bit unicode SAP ECC 5.0 on MaxDB 7.5 in Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise.
I am now trying to figure out how to configure Symantec Backup Exec 11d to work with MaxDB so that I can do online backups. I heard that it is directly not possible, but is there a workaround for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Andreas,
That was a very good document that you recommended. It is clear enough. But the thing is I don't think NetBackup is installed to the server. The SAP-relevant options licensed and installed by the vendor for Backup Exec 11d are:
1. Agent for Oracle on Windows Servers
2. Agent for MS SQL Server
2. Agent for MS SQL Server 2000
3. Agent for SAP Applications
4. Backup Exec for Windows Servers
5. Remote Agent for Windows Servers
Do I have to install NetBackup or does it have a counterpart in 11d?
Thanks again,
Joseph

We are in the process of implementting SAP E-recruitmetn 600 in an integrated scenario with SAP Ecc6.0.
We would like to know the consequences of using SAP system DataBase as storgare system for SAP E-REcruitment. If this is the case, all external and internal candidates CVs and otehr documents will store in SAP System DB.
We would like to konw,
1.) Will this collection of huge data ruins the preformance of SAP system?
2.) How to proceed with backup for E-recruitment if DB is SAP DB
3.) Work-around Document for the above process
4.) What are the impacts
5.) What are the possibilities to restore data from SAP DB to content server once Content server issue resolved?
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P.

Hi Sudheer,
Have you got answers to your questions? I am also stuck with the same questions. If you could help me with these I would be very thankful.

Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?

SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
Company Database Backup and Restore options
Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
Some details about RSP Backup Management
Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
Perform differential and full database backups
Back up transaction logs
Back up files to shared folders on a network
System Status Report through RSP
From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
Database uploads only via RSP
From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
Set the correct proxy
Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility

Low Network Utilization in Remote Disk Backup via SAP FTP

Hi gurus,
I'm running whole online backup + redo log to backup my SAP server to backup server via SAPFTP (remote disk backup).
I'm using 100Mbps network connection between the two servers, with SAP server configured to 'maximize data throughput for network application'.
When I copy data from SAP Server to backup server manually, the speed is OK (around 98% network utilization).
But when I use put command in program RSFTP002 (SAPFTP) for the same file, the network utilization is just around 10%.
I use Windows Server 2003 x64 for SAP Server, and Windows Server 2008 x64 for Backup Server.
Each has adequate RAM, 8GB for SAP Server and 4GB for Backup Server.
Is this technical problem or is it because backup is considered background process, thus lowering its speed?
Help will be very much appreciated.

it's old but should help you nonetheless.
I would not use SAPFTP as you found out, it is slow.
use DD instead which is much faster.

Disaster Recovery For SAP ECC 6.0 On Oracle

Hi All,
This is our infrastructure
Windows 2003 Server
SAP ECC 6.0
Oracle 10
Legato Networker Client / Library
Actually our Backup Strategy is to do an Online Backup Every Night from monday to saturday. We want to test our backup by doing a Restore. We are assuming a complete loss of the system including hardware.
What we do:
1. Install the SAP System on a new host with the same hardware characteristic of the source system.
2. Install & Configure the legato utility.
3. Copy the E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\ directory from the source system to the test system.
4. Them we put the database in mount mode.
5. Execute the command: brrestore -b bdyxwoqv.fnf -m full (bdyxwoqv.fnf-> Full Online Backup that was executed without problems).
It gives the following errors:
BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA2\SR3_10\SR3.DATA10' reported as not found by
backup utility
BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA3\SR3700_9\SR3700.DATA9' reported as not foun
d by backup utility
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0279E Return code from 'backint -u MIS -f restore -i E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\.
rdyybrzp.lst -t file -p E:\oracle\MIS\102\database\initMIS.utl': 2
BR0374E 0 of 63 files restored by backup utility
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0231E Backup utility call failed
BR0406I End of file restore: rdyybrzp.rsb 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0404I BRRESTORE terminated with errors
Since this is a new SAP system it never will find the SAPDATA files because they where on the source system and this is a new test system.
We found the following note:
96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on Oracle
But this note is for SAP R/3 no for SAP ECC!
It explain that you have to install your SAP system with the System Copy Method (is this the only way??).
2.) Installation of the R/3 System
The installation of SAP software contains the software installation of the database. The initial SAP database should be created again but the SAP data should not be loaded.
Install the SAP system with the Oracle-specific system copy method, which is based on backup/restore. This method is described in the system copy guide for your Product/Release. Refer to Note 659509 for products that are based on Web AS.
3.) Modification of the installation
Above all, you must take into account the mounted file systems at the time of the loss. If necessary create new SAPDATA directories (mount points). These generally identify a disk or a logical storage area (logical volume).
Are we working in the right way? maybe there is a formal procedure to do a Restore from an Online backup when you complete loss your system.
Please some tips.
Best Regards,
Erick Ilarraza

Hi Eric,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I will follow the Note 96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on ORACLE point 5.
5.) Restore profile and log files, as you sayed in case of disaster we will lost our "source" system.
On the other hand to configure the legato client we take care of the name of the server, we configured the .sap, .cfg and .utl files so in theory the restore will be done on the new test system since we run the brrestore command from that system.
Officially there is not a documentation from SAP to do a Restore from a Online Backup with SAP ECC, SAP Netweaver (ABAP / ABAP + Java). You only have the 96848 note??? I found the following information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/65/cade3bd0c8545ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
But there is not a official procedure like a System Copy Guide or Installation Guide.

Erick Ilarraza

Steps to change IP address for SAP B1 server

Dear Guru
My company is going to change the IP address of SAP B1 server, because I am very new in this area, so pls clarify for me the following doubt
1. May I change the IP address with the SAP B1 is running?
2. If I need to stop the B1 services, how can I stop it? Stop at windows service level? or is there any console for me to stop the service like SAP R3?
3. Do I need to stop the MSSQL service as well?
4. Do I need to reboot the server before I startup the SAP B1 service?
Regards
Guodong

Dear Guodong,
Just assuming you have only one question since that is the forum rule.
To change IP address for SAP B1 server, you need to Stop and restart the server to prevent the potential problem. B1 is not the same as R/3, you have to stop all B1 related services.
Thanks,
Gordon

Problem about tdp for sap rman error

I installed tdp for sap and scheduled a online backup , after the backup finished, I checked the log.
all data files were backuped successfully. but there is an error about rman. I do not know how to do about that? Could you help me? I think the backup could be successful without rman, why in the backup log, it shows a rman error .
I checked the initDEV.sap and initDEV.utl, there is no entry about rman, I do not use rman_util.

Hello Victor,
we need the RMAN commands that were executed and at which step this error occurs.
Maybe it is a problem with the snap controlfile for the AUTOBACKUP or many other scenarios are possible.
We are also using the TDP for mySAP, but without RMAN support.
If you want to use just RMAN (like we do for non-SAP systems / no BR*Tools) you can save a lot of license/service costs, if you are using TDP for Oracle, but keep in mind that you are losing the support for that by SAP. You can directly open a call by oracle for these situations.
If you want this scenario as described we need more detailed information. Maybe a "LIST BACKUP" would also be nice.
Regards
Stefan

SAP EHP1 for SAP CRM 7.0 : RKT Workshop for Interaction Center

Hi Everyone,
Please be advised that SAP is hosting a workshop in San Francisco, July 15 - 16:
SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP CRM 7.0 : Ramp-Up Knowledge Transfer Workshop for Interaction Center.

Hi,
First - the basic post installation steps are:
1. sick t-code need to execute
2. se06 --> Perform Post-Installation Actions
3. RZ10 --> Utilities --> Import profiles --> Of active servers
4. execute sgen T-code --> This will take some time
5. setup STMS
6. create client (If custom required)
7. Take backup of the system
For the solution manager client you could use the default created '001' client.
Next you need to run the solman_setup template which 'sets up' the SolMan for usage.
Follow config guide at: https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000308502009E.PDF
For installing the ECC system, only a install key(from SMSY) is to be generated from SolMan. But if you want to use the SolMan effectively, suggest you to run the entire solman_setup.

Srikishan

Reg: Replacing i-way with PI for SAP ECC 6.0 version

Hello Experts
currently we are using R/3 4.7 version and middle ware we are using is i-way and we are planning to upgrade to ECC 6.0 and i would like to know how compatible is i-way is with SAP ECC 6.0 and is there any neccessity to replace the same with PI.
and currently we are using RFC as a method of communication between R/3 and i-way and in future i don't want to change the existing coding , is it feasible to use PI via RFC.
As i am ABAPer, i am new to this PI and please let me the know the risks involved and it is viability.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Gavin,
you should always use the SQL EE for SAP installations (because of additional features that only come with EE).
Concerning SQL 9 or SQL 10, I would definitely go for SQL 10. It has some nice features like Backup Compression, Page/Row Compression and so on. Have a look [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60a236a2-8104-2b10-5ebe-8fef61cc82fd]. Just make sure that your installation meets the SR3 requirements.
We already have SQL 10 in production and did not encounter any problems.

What MS SQL version for SAP ECC 6.0?

Hi,
we are preparing ourselves to move away from SAP R/3 & MS SQL 2000 to SAP ECC 6.0 and a new SQL platform.
From what I found, it runs on SAP_BASIS 7.0 - so both SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 are supported.
I was wondering, however, what SQL version do I need - would SAP ECC 6.0 run on Standard or does it require Enterprise Edition of SQL server?
Many thanks
Gavin

Hi Everybody,
As we have INTEL hardware for our BI 7 & MSSQL server, recently we have reinstalled the app servers on AMD hardware (Here we have changed only Hardware, other factors are similar to earlier setup).
Now we are looking at performance factors which will need to look in, so could you please advise what are the parameter ( relevant to MEMORY or PAGING) need to fine tune.
Component Version: SAP NetWeaver 2004s
Application: BI 7.0
OS: Windows 2003
Database: MSSQL
Please let me know if you need any more information...
Thanks in advance.....
