System refresh in DB2 for zOS with dual stack

Has anyone performed system refresh (Abap + J2ee) in DB2 for zOS.
We are planning to do it but the homogeneous document outlined the database specific methods and it doesn't cover the j2ee part.
Is there any specific methods to follow to bring up the j2ee after the system copy?

Hello,
please see Homogeneous System Copy guide for the export options using SAPinst and note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1059145 for the additional steps on the import side.

Error in phase import Homogeneous system copy from a BI 7.3 dual stack ABAPJAVA

Hi
I'm doing a Homogeneous system copy from a BI 7.3 dual stack ABAP+JAVA system with an Oracle DB (11g version, 11.2.0.3.0 patch level) with AIX ibm OS.
Before starting export I've executed in the source system the report SMIGR_CREATE_DDL, as described in sap note 888210, and I generated *.SQL files.
After, during the import in the target system I get the following error message:

hello,
Before anything update DB shared lib, R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk in the target system. Also Check in source system if you have any tables o index missing in db02 transaction, If this system wa upgraded from a previous release please check TAORA and IAORA tables in source system and check all the tablespaces named in those tables are created in the target system.
let me know how it goes.

OSDB Migration using the migration monitor with dual stack

Hi
How can i use the migration monitor for dual Stack system. i knew that migration monitor use the R3LOAD. i never find using the JLOAD. how migration monitor export the Java.
Please advice me
Thank you

Good!

So assuming that you have not read the documentation (which you really should):
- You need to create a separate directory on the NFS where both systems have access
- you need to configure the export machine as "server" (read the docs!)
- you need to configure the exchange directory on both export and import migmon

Is there a permissions system in Cloud Files for sharing with peers?

My organization is interested in migrating to Creative Cloud, and a large part of that would be to replace the generic online file storage system that we currently use to store assets and graphics files. I understand that files belong to individuals, however my question is about sharing with a limited set of individuals...
For instance, if an employee uploads some assets received from a client, and these assets are needed by a team, but due to IP contracts it's important they aren't accessible to anyone else, is this possible using Cloud Files?
In addition, say a group of employees is working on a Photoshop file, and one person needs to make a change that everyone else needs before they may continue working on it. Is it possible for one employee to lock the file so nobody else can modify it until the lock is released?
Thanks, I look forward to your answers!

This will be possible once improved sharing and collaboration are released. This will be soon by is not yet available. You will see several threads in the forums of customers requesting folder sharing. Folder sharing will be one part of it, but also there will be private sharing with specific individuals.
Currently you can only share individual files and the shared url is public.

RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML shows SC version differs for JAVA and DUAL-Stack xml files

Hi All,
I am using the report/program RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML to copy the stack xml file I used from a previous upgraded system. Systems are identical. However, report shows below..
"Software Component Version KRNL64UC7.20 [01200615320200013056] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
and
Software Component Version SAPJVM6.1 [01200615320200012982] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
However, this is not the case when checked, it's strange that this particular component has the same version between the two systems, but the report says they differs in version.
Please help check how to resolve the issue.
SAP notes mentioned in below KBA were already obsolete. Solution Manager system just upgraded to 7.1 SP11.
1711612 - RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML Report Troubleshooting.
We would appreciate your response for us to resolve this issue. Thanks.
Regards,
Philip

Hi Jansi, Divyanshu,
Both system have the same patch levels.
Here the situation, SYS1 is where we generated the stack xml file. Afterwards, used that stack file to upgrade SYS1.
Now we built SYS2, ensuring it has the same components version with the un-upgraded version of SYS1, so yes they have same patch number for same components, for this issue, kernel and jvm.
Thus, instead of running MOPZ for SYS2, we used RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML to convert the stack file of SYS1 to be used for SYS2.
This is where we encountered below messages, when performing the copy.
"Software Component Version KRNL64UC7.20 [01200615320200013056] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
and
Software Component Version SAPJVM6.1 [01200615320200012982] differs between <System1> and <System2>"
We previously used SOLMAN 7.0 SP23, and the report is working fine there. Then recently, solman was upgraded to 7.1 SP11, and now the report is not working with the above issue.
We would appreciate if you could share actions on how we can fix the issue.

Philip

PI system upgrade from 7.1 to 7.4 dual stack

Hi,
We want to upgrade PI system to 7.4 .currently we are using PI 7.1 system (dual stack)and want to go for 7.4 dual stack.
which one single stack or dual stack is the best approach and what are the impacts normally see when upgrading to newer version.
We are planning to install 7.4 freshly recomonded by SAP .
We need to migrate objects from older system to newer system?
I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
Import/export or migrate is the best way to move objects from older sytem to newer system.
Please suggest me any links about the process including basis point of view also suggestions for the approach.
thanks,
aman

>>>> which one single stack or dual stack is the best approach and what are the impacts normally see when upgrading to newer version.
I would prefer single stack considering the SAP's future road map but of course it depends on how much effort your company is ready to spend. Incase you have lot of CCBPM's then you'll have to redesign them using Netweaver BPM if you go with single stack.
As are going with fresh installation(migration) of dual stack then you don't need to invest much.
>>> We are planning to install 7.4 freshly recomonded by SAP .
We need to migrate objects from older system to newer system?
I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
There is wizard using which you can move the directory objects ( classical scenario's to Integrated configurations). Please use it for ID objects
Refer to the below blog for more details. (ignore blog's title. it's applicable for dual stack-> dual stack too)
Moving Integration Directory Artifacts from dual stack to single stack
For ESR you can simply export and import the tpz file.
>>> I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
They can simply follow the installation guide and execute the post installation steps properly.

System Refresh of GRC 5.3 system

Hi Gurus,
Our client has putforth a requirement of refreshing the GRC 5.3 development system in our landscape with the data of GRC 5.3 production system. I could find document for Homogeneous System Copy for standalone Java engines in Service Marketplace. But, i was not able to find any document specific to GRC 5.3 system refresh.
Please guide me in providing help in the system copy procedure so that i can take the necessary precautions in doing the system refresh.
Regards,
Ragav

Hi,
I am not sure on the reasons for system refresh. Look at the below points:
1. The RAR data c(Rules, Functions, Risks etc) an be downloaded and uploaded in the Development environment. Why you need the production user data in Development?
2. The SPM users are intended for production. Why you are planning to copy/simulate them in development?
3. The ERM and CUPs are workflows, where the systems and other settings have to be created manually. What is your intention in getting them to development?
As per my knowledge, no system refresh is performed for GRC systems? May be you need to educate the client on these things. Please look for the ideas from the other experts too before you go back to your client.
Hope this helps!!
Warm Regards,
Raghu

How to connect from SAP on DB2 for i5/OS to external oracle database

Hello,
I managed to retrieve data from an external DB2 for i5/OS database using ABAP Native SQL running on another i5/OS server.
I also managed to retrieve data from an external oracle database using ABAP Native SQL running on another Windows/Oracle server.
Now i want to use ABAP Native SQL running on an i5/OS and retrieve data from an external Oracle database?
I suppose i need software to connect fron I5/OS to this oracle database like you need extra software when you want to connect to an i5/OS database if you are running SAP on Windows (read note 751451)
Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance
Bertil Rebergen

Hello Bertil,
to access an Oracle database from within an SAP system you'll need SAP's database interface library specific for Oracle plus the Oracle database client library utilized by SAP's database interface library. Both need to be available for the operating system your application server runs on, i.e. IBM i5/OS in your scenario.
Since the required Oracle database client software is not available for IBM i5/OS your SAP application servers on IBM i5/OS cannot access your Oracle database.
To overcome this limitation you would need to add at least one additional SAP application server based on Windows or Linux/Power to your current SAP system utilizing IBM DB2 for i5/OS. Since the required software libraries are available for these two operating systems you will be able to solve your problem this way.

We are facing an issue below.
Scenerio- Standalone Java stack copy
Status- I have exported the source system using sap installer, now I am running sapinstaller to import the source system (exported DB).
Issue- When I am running sapinstaller on target system to import - it is not asking anywhere the location of exported source system and skipping this step.
Environment- SAP CRM700/NW 701 EHP1, AIX 5.3, DB2 9.5.
Any help on this would really be appriciated.

Rebuild our XI application server from Single stack to dual stack

Hello,
We currently have an XI landscape with two application servers, the CI is of course a dual stack system, however the two app servers are single stacked, however we would like to make the two app servers into DUAL STACKs, my first guess was to rebuild the two apps from scratch and reinstall them as a dual stack apps. My Q is:
First: Do we need to rebuild both app servers, or can we make a change to the app servers to modify them to become dual stacked
Second: If we do need to rebuild both these apps, is there a specific document available to do this on Market place for installing a Dual stack app servers with PI?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you all for your feedback,
Denny Liao, it is very interesting question you implied, we do have a J2EE directory created under the /usr/sap/SID/D30 directory:
/usr/sap/XQ9/D30
mqaapz28:xq9adm 13% ls -ltr
total 36
drwxr-xr-x   7 xq9adm   sapsys        96 Aug 24 2009 igs

drwxr-xr-x   3 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Nov 24 10:48 log
obviously this app server does not have any (jlaunch/jcontrol process running) therefore it is not running as dual stacked. but interestingly enough I do see logs in the
/usr/sap/XQ9/D30/j2ee/cluster/server0/log directory created at the time of the initial install. and under:
/usr/sap/XQ9/D30/j2ee/cluster

drwxr-xr-x 11 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Aug 26 2009 server0
as per the note you mentioned above (741289 ) this explains how to recover a lost J2EE parameter setup, I am guessing this can be simply followed and re-enable the app server to run as a dual stack.
also my system information for the J2EE on the CI is:

Single stack vs. Dual Stack - Why does SAP recommend single stack?

Hello SAP,
I am a business partner who specializes in infrastructure consulting for SAP solutions. The SAP Consultants I am working with recently have been recommending that customers install single stack systems. I would like to know why? Are there problems with dual stack systems? Is SAP changing things in a later release and they want customers to be prepared for the change?
From an infrastucture point of view this recommendation combined with SAP NetWeaver architecture will result in an explosion of SID names which leads to an explosion of application server instances and DBMS instances and an explosion of installed servers. I know it is possible to combine SIDs into a single DBMS using MCOD and to have multiple application servers in a single physical server, but there are issues with mulitple application server instances and MCOD use which make normal maintenance operations difficult.
I think it would be much better for customers to install dual stack systems and simply adjust the SAP profile parameters to disable one stack or the other. This way, you could still have 1 stack per application server instance and you would not be have to be creative with SAP SID names!!! Creating a DBMS instance or installing an additional server is not a simple nor economical proposition.

Zaz

I am a business partner who specializes in infrastructure consulting for SAP solutions. The SAP Consultants I am working with recently have been recommending that customers install single stack systems. I would like to know why? Are there problems with dual stack systems?
The problems are:
- difficult to size and maintain - Java + ABAP will fight for resources (memory,CPU) and there´s not much one can do to tune if either ABAP or Java as dual stack instance on a single box is running nuts (for whatever reason).
- System copies via R3load - if you want to copy a huge system (let´s say ERP 6.0 + Java stack) you need to use sapinst + R3load to do the copy. Imagine if the system is 1 TB or bigger, this is very time consuming
- Upgrades are complicated - if you upgrade a dual stack system you need to run two PREPARES and two upgrades at the same time - there are sync points each upgrade wait for the other to finish --> difficult to plan in sense of runtimes and even more notes/preparation to do (a dual stack SolMan upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0 had almost 100 notes (technical!) and two upgrade preparation guides...)
- interdependencies - example: you run ERP + EP + BI-Java on one system. You upgrade your BI (which is on a different box) to a new support package. Since the BI-Java need to be in sync with the BI ABAP support package you need to upgrade the EP too - and since there´s a direct dependency (doublestack system) you will need to install support packages on your ERP. So you finally end up in having dependency chains that a total different system (BI) will force you to upgrade/patch your ERP. And if you have e. g. a CRM connected to the same EP you will need to patch that too...
Is SAP changing things in a later release and they want customers to be prepared for the change?
No - the possibility of having a dual stack installation will be still there.
From an infrastucture point of view this recommendation combined with SAP NetWeaver architecture will result in an explosion of SID names which leads to an explosion of application server instances and DBMS instances and an explosion of installed servers. I know it is possible to combine SIDs into a single DBMS using MCOD and to have multiple application servers in a single physical server, but there are issues with mulitple application server instances and MCOD use which make normal maintenance operations difficult.
I agree - MCOD is not a good solution for this problem.
I think it would be much better for customers to install dual stack systems and simply adjust the SAP profile parameters to disable one stack or the other. This way, you could still have 1 stack per application server instance and you would not be have to be creative with SAP SID names!!! Creating a DBMS instance or installing an additional server is not a simple nor economical proposition.
There are 36 * 36 * 36 (minus a few reserved) names for SIDs- this should be enough - also for the biggest customers
Of course one could install both and disable the one you don´t need - but this won´t help in dependency thing. If you e. g. install a dual stack instance for CRM and disable the Java part, you can nicely run it. In case of an upgrade, you will need to upgrade the Java part too (see above) although you don´t use it. The upgrade will detect the doublestack and wait for the java instance to be upgraded too. Same is true vice versa. And believe me: you don´t want that
In fact it is better to separate - that´s at least our experience. The main no-go for such a configuration on our side was the dependency thing. Since they are there and you can´t do much about them we decided to have a 1:1 relationship for ABAP backend and Java "frontend". You will get more instances (and names and databases) but you can patch applications independently from each other. So an implementation of a BI patch won´t imply that you finally also patch your ERP production and other systems that connect to that portal.
There are virtualization techniques available to not need more boxes, you can consolidate them on one machine as if you were installing a dual stack so that is not really an issue. This depends, of course, on the platform and database you use (e. g. Oracle does not support production installations in VMWare). We use for our Java instances Solaris on Opteron (or Intel 64bit) and zones/containers and for the ABAP part we use Linux + Xen. Both virtualization methods come with the OS (so no additional $$$) and both are supported by SAP.
The propagated advantage of having a dual stack installation (shared memory access etc.) is so small that it doesn´t outban the additional complexity - which is definitely there.
I hope those arguments will help to understand SAPs (and the consultants) position - get back if you want more

Development Scope through NWDS on 7.31 Dual Stack

Per my understanding NWDS can be used for developing ESR and ID components but only if we have installed the usage type PO.
We have dual stack PI 7.31. What is the scope of PI objects development through NWDS in this case other than usual JAVA coding...adapter module development, dirapi devlopment ..etc..
Thanks

Hi Ashish,
you can use ESR development in NWDS with dual stack, but can not perform the ID development.

6VPE and Dual Stack Core?

Hi,
I've been following this discussion on a MPLS migration to IPv6.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2181573
I have the following customer requirements:
- Dual stack IPv4/IPv6 across the entire network including the core.
- Run 6VPE between the PE routers
Is it true to say that this is not a supported configuration? 6VPE only runs on a native IPv4 core?
Thanks
Sean

6VPE is a tunneling technology to allow you to run IPv4 and IPv6 over an IPv4-only core and provide dual-stack at the customer edge. The customer is blissfully unaware that there is anything other than dual-stack - or better described as IPv4 and IPv6 capabilities - at their demarcation.
If you configure your entire core with dual-stack, there isn't really a need for 6VPE. What you will need is a solution for LDPv6 or what is sometimes referred to as MPLSv6 (http://blogs.cisco.com/tag/ldpv6/).
cheers.

Dual Stack vs Split Stack

Hi Gurus,
We are in the process of installation of CRM 2007 server. We were faced with a choice between Dual
Stack and a Split Stack. To our client, we adviced Dual Stack installtion, while they were insisting on
a Split Stack installation. They finally agreed to proceed with Dual Stack installation, but wanted some
documentation highlighting the pros & cons of the both. Could you give any relevent notes or some
documentation for the same? Thanking you in advance
Regards,
Savan Kumar D.

Uhhhhh,
You wrote :
...to our client, we adviced Dual Stack installation...
Now you are asking for documentation of the pros and cons of both. What do you base your advice on if you not know what you are doing now?

CHARM - Dual stack

Dear All,
We have dual stack for one server here, using java stack they will move very few objects. Which one is wise decision to go ahead. Just by configuring the charm for abap stack and continuing the java stack as of now, ie : w/o charm.
regds,
CB

Hi,
You can use the ChaRM concepts up to the level CTS+ supports the java transports. If you are familiar with CTS+ and satisfied with its work, you can go ahead with dual stack ChaRM. But if you are familiar with ABAP one only, it will be better to go ahead with ABAP configuration for ChaRM.
If interested in configuring ChaRM for dual stack, you may refer:
