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.

HANA Studio connection with HANA server in HANA One (Rev 56 and up)

Dear HANA One Customers,
You must be aware of our latest HANA One release with HANA SP6 (blog: The specified item was not found. Once you launch a new instance using HANA One Rev 52.1, you can upgrade your instance to HANA Rev 56 or HANA Rev 62. You can do it in steps (Rev 52 -> Rev 56 -> Rev 62) or do directly (Rev 52 -> Rev 62). By the way, Rev 62 is the first HANA 1.0 SP6 release in HANA One. As we recommended, if you upgrade HANA Version to 56 or 62, please upgrade your HANA Studio and HANA Client to the corresponding version.
If you upgrade to either Rev 56 or Rev 62, you don't need to add any entry to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to connect HANA Studio to use all the functionality of HANA Studio with HANA in cloud. While HANA One's add-on manager, upgrades. it makes a change in one configuration file (global.ini) for public_hostname_resolution.
However, if you change IP of your HANA One instance, you need to update this parameter which is described in the Quick Start Guide. The steps are summarized as:
In the Administration editor of HANA Studio,
Choose the Configuration tab. A list of all configuration files appears.
Expand the global.ini configuration file
Select the section public_hostname_resolution
Choose Next and enter the values map_hanaserver in the Key field and your IP or public DNS in the Value field.
For example, set the values as Key: map_hanaserver, Value: xx.xx.xx.xx if you use an IP address including an Elastic IP. If you use DNS as the value it could be ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
With this new feature, the same HANA Studio can connect to many HANA One instances at the same time which was not possible earlier prior to Rev 56.
Thanks,
Swapan

Yes Aleksandr
I think you are right.
After doing many installation of HANA Server in differrent AWS instances it didn't work for me.
But when I installed the HANA Studio on another machine with more RAM it worked.
I think we have to install HANA Studio on another AWS instance with 16 GB RAM to make it run smoothly.
Thanks & Regards

How can I restore events/tasks from a system backup using prefs.fs and local.sqlite?

I accidentally deleted a calendar holding all my thunderbird tasks. I was now able to restore the calendar from my backup. I restored the following files:
* profile-folder/calendar-data/local.sqlite
* profile-folder/prefs.js (here: I did a diff and added only the section of the deleted calendar)
Still no events and tasks are available from the deleted calendar.
The calendar is now available in the Calendar tab.

To view TM backups from a different Mac, see item #17 of the of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
To restore files from there to your current Mac, see item #16 of that same Tip.

Managing CAL ABAP on HANA instance and removing the secondary windows instance?

When you setup the ABAP on HANA CAL instance with AWS you get two AWS instances. One which is the ABAP on HANA server and one which is a Windows system holding copies of the development tools, etc.
I never use this second instance as I log on from my own pc/laptop; so its just wasting money. Can I simply delete it from the AWS console. The CAL does not allow me to delete it on its own. If I do delete that instance can I still manage it with CAL or am I on my own with AWS from that point?
Regards,
--Jason.

Hi Jason,
SAP CAL keeps track of what happens to the instances in your AWS account, the status is polled every other minute or so. Simply suspending or terminating it could have a severe effect on the operations in CAL.
Have you thought about starting the Windows instance on a smaller (probably too small) instance type which costs just a couple of cents? CAL cannot track if the SAP system in the instance is functional or not, CAL just checks the status of the container. So you could start the Windows instance on a 512MB machine ....
I know that this is not what you was aiming for, but it will probably solve the costs issue in the first place quickly.

How can I decide the size of HANA server when using DMO of SUM ?

Hi expert,
I want to execute DB migration from MS SQL to SAP HANA by using DMO of SUM.
So I have a question.
How can I decide the size of HANA server when using DMO of SUM ?
Now I have MS SQL in windows server.
But in order to use HANA , I have to prepare Linux server.
I want to know How can I decide the size of this Linux server.
Can I expect the function of data compression in HANA ?
Thanks in advance .
Kazuki.

Kazuki,
Please take attetion:
Your linux box already created = Application server:
Application Server
Based on the measurements SAP doesn't expect any changes concerning CPU, memory and network requirements for the ABAP application server. This means that the existing hardware and network infrastructure can still be used. Please check the PAM (www.service.sap.com/pam) for further details.
SAP HANA Appliance ( porvided by your hardware partner)
Consider SAP Note recommendation for HANA Main Memory, HANA CPU and HANA Disk Space.

CURL output from HANA Server

Hi all,
I have to ask this, 'cause it is quite annoying when you are debugging something and your console is showing the cURL output all the time, every ~20 sec, a new connection is done, with the corresponding output:
This output is the connection to our HANA Server, and, just guessing, DI API connects through cURL to there, Am I right? if yes, please, tell me how I can stop this output.
We already try the --silence command directly on the server, but without successful result.
Thanks in advance

Restoration of MaxDB online backup on other server for creating Standby DB

Hi,
I had taken MaxDB online database backup through Data Protector 6.11. Now i want to restore this backup on other server. So that i can configure this as a standby database. I selected config and data for restoration but it was giving me an error as below,
[Critical] From: OB2BAR_SAPDBBAR@ttcsolma "BE1" Time: 01/11/11 01:19:05
      Error: SAPDB responded with: -24988,ERR_SQL: SQL error
-9407,System error: unexpected error
3,Database state: OFFLINE
Internal errorcode, Error code 9050 "disk_not_accessible"
So I created the database but with default values and then tried restoration but getting error as below,
Error: Unable to read the configuration value `All' for SAPDB instance `SID'.
If anybody is having any document or steps for confguring the Standby MaxDB database through Data Protector backup/restore method.
Thanks,
Narendra

Hi Siva,
Thanks for the replyu2026Yes I had copied the dbm.ebf, dbm.mdf dbm.knl files from the source server to target server. And also backup is visible in target server. And also I created Data /Log volumes size as equal to source server.
I tried restoring through DBM GUI with "recovery with initialization" option but I am getting error message as below and also I am getting same error message when I restore from Data Protector GUI. But I donu2019t have any problem restoring the backup on same server the problem occurs only when restoring it on target server.
Now for testing I have taken backup on file system through DBM GUI of source system and started restoring on target system. No problem while restoring from file system backup on target server. I am suspecting there is some problem with PIPE as I am using third party backup tool i.e. DP 6.11. I want to resolve the problem with third party backup tool as we will take all MaxDB database backup on tapes through DP 6.11.
Through DBM GUI error message:
Error: SAPDB responded with: -24925,ERR_PREPARE: preparation of backup operation failed
The list of external backup ID's contains less than 16 ID's.
Through Data Protector GUI error message:

Sun java directory server and Active Directory

We are using two different directory servers Sun java directory server and active directory.
My question is how we can have password synchronization between these two directory servers.
I have checked Sun Java[TM] System Identity Synchronization for Windows 1 2004Q3
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=41537425
It seems that it's supported platforms is only for solaris and windows , but I have installed my Sun java directory server on linux and obviously it doesn't work for me.
I would be grateful if anyone can suggest a solution to work around this situation.
I have checked identity manager , I would like to know that if I can do this using this product.
http://www.sun.com/software/products/identity_mgr/specs.jsp
--regards.
Sara

Yes RHEL 4 is a supported OS with DSEE 6.0.
Identity Synchronization for Windows is a part of DSEE that allows synchronization of users, passwords and groups between Sun Directory Server and Active Directory bi-directionally without altering the users environments, ie it does not require that users change their current habits.
Identity Manager is a complete identity management solution that is targetting enterprise work flow when it comes to user provisioning and de-provisioning, but also allows to build authentication and password change forms that will provision the passwords to many different systems including Sun Directory Server and Active Directory but also IBM mainframes, legacy applications, databases...
If you are implementing a complete identity management solution, then go with Identity Manager. If you need a lightweight and fast solution for just synchronizing users and passwords between Sun DS and MS AD, Identity Synchronization for Windows should be your choice.

Ludovic.

Move Publisher backup to new server( Cold Standby Server) ?

We have CUCM cluster consist of 1 publisher, 4 subscriber and have installed a new node like another cluster's publisher(with diferent ip address from existing publisher) . When existing publisher goes down we will move publisher backup to new server and change publisher ip address to new server on existing subscribers.
is it posible ?
Our aim is using new server for publisher down issue.(like cold standby server but diferent ip address from existing publisher)
Or is there any better way to install publisher backup on on branch? When publisher goes down we will use the new server like publisher.

Hi
Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

View Calculation view of ECC in SAP BW on HANA Server

Hello All,
I have a question
1. We have SAP BW powered by HANA
2. We have ECC System which is also powered by HANA
3. We have HANA Studio installed on our desktop
4. Lets say I have connected to ECC Data Base VUA HANA studio and created Calculation Views.
5. Now when I logon to BW server I want the calculation VIew to be exposed to BW
what are the steps to establish connection between BW and HANA
how can I see the Calculation view created VIA Hana Studio in ECC Hana Database in BW Server
My requirement it I will upload all master data in BW and then Calculation view created in ECC will need to be exposed to BW on HANA server then link this Calculation View to Master Data in BW Via Composite Provider and then use this for reporting.
Please suggest possible ways by which by which I can see the calculation views created VIA HANA Studio on ECC HANA Data base.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
You have my Role model & hero's name I will definitely help you out ...
To repeat your question..
You have ECC on HANA and also BW on HANA
ECC and BW cannot coexists on single HANA box as of today. So in your landscape you might be having two HANA boxes ,one connecting to ECC and other to BW.
Now your question is you want to bring the Calculation view build on ECC HANA box to BW HANA box. Check the steps below to achieve the same.
1) if you have already build a calculation view in ECC HANA box then export the Calculation view .
2) Connect the two HANA box via SLT and replicate all the tables that is required for the calculation view.
3) Once the tables are replicated then import the Calculation view that is exported earlier.
4) Now the calculation view is in BW on HANA box. Now its possible to build a composite provider by combining the BW master data and ECC transaction data calculation view.
If you don't want to use SLT then use SDA option to virtualize all the required tables and rebuild the calculation view again on these virtual tables.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks & Regards
