TMS - Virtual system - Production Server

Hi,
I know that at the same time no need to install the all server and configure for TMS. So we are using Virtual system.
My question is: How the production server is attached instead of Virtual system ?
2. How the Domain controller is transferred from Devlopment server to Production server ?

Hi,
how to move the domain controller from dev to prod server ?
for that you need to reconfigure TMS.
first delete TMS configuration from DEV system 000 client.
then reconfigure TMS.
to setup three system landscape do following.
prerequisites:
-> set one system as domain controller. in your case it is PRD.
-> Add SAP QAS system to domain controller
-> Add SAP DEV system to domain controller.
you can add QAS system to domain controller using following steps.
login into QAS system client 000. ( stms is not configures that i assumed)
run stms -> it's ask for set up STMS -> click on other configurition (F6)
Target Host -> host name of domain controller ( host name of DEV system)
System number -> Instance number of domain controller ( instance number of DEV system)
same way add DEV system.
now login into domain controller system in client 000 ( you are set PRD as domain controller)
run STMS -> overview -> transport routes
form configuration -> standard configuration -> three system in groups
assign SID of DEV,QAS and PRD system.
save and distribute the configuration.

kaushal

System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.

Hi
We are planning to do a System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.
But as the Production Server Java Version is below 1.4.1, Orabrcopy could not be executed.
As per the planned downtime of the Production Server, we have copied all the database offline. ( say 9th of August)
but we could not create the control , trace, init<sid>.ora files using ORABRCOPY.. during offline database copy.
Now the system is up and running.. We havent created the files yet.
I have 2 questions..
1. Is there any other method so that we can create the control , trace, and init<sid>.ora files.
2. If we create the control trace files now ( 13th of August ) can we use the offline backup that we took on (9th of August) to perform a System Copy..
Need your addvice..
Thanks and Regards
Paguras

Basically, orabrcopy does (aside from other things) an
alter database backup controlfile to trace;
You can enter that manually (anytime) and use the resulting .trc file in saptrace directory as a base for control.sql, however, in this case you need to "know" what you're doing. ORABRCOPY is a "nice frontend" for this because it uses the same statement to create CONTROL.SQL, it just edits it appropriately which you will need to do manually.

How to replace the virtual system as the real system in the TMS?

Hi,
I have a standard 3 systems TMS, which is 1 development system (real system, transport domain) and 2 virtual system(QAS and PRD).
And now, I will install the QAS system and replace the virtual system as the real one, How can I do in TMS?
I should delete the old TMS and rebuild the TMS with 1 DEV, 1 QAS and 1 virtual PRD? or just replace the QAS as the real one? What the operation should I do in t-code:STMS?
Many thanks.
BR,
Randy

Hi,
Do it as follows.
1. Remove transport routes (i think it is not mandatory)
2. Remove your Virtual system that you want to replace with physical system
3. Include the Physical system into Domain and accept it from Domain Controller
4. Configure the transport routes.You can see all the transports that were in the import queue of virtual system are now in the import queue of the Physical system that you added.
Only condition is, both Virtual System and Physical System should have same SID.
All the above will be done through STMS
Thanks,
Giri

SMSY - System marked as Virtual System (TMS)

Hi Experts!
We got an issue in our system landscape. In tx: SMSY our developement system gets marked as "Virtual System (TMS)" (tab header data) and we can not locate the reason for this. We can not use ChaRM while it is marked as virtual.
After reading system data remote (manually) it gets updated and is not marked as virtual anymore.
However, this morning it was marked as virtual again and I got no idea where this comes from.
Any help would be really apprecaited!
Thanks.
/cheers
Edit: The F1-help did not tell anything new. What I could imagine: there is a job updating this information and the time the job ran there was a problem connecting to the system. Hence it got marked as virtual. But this is jsut a guess.
Edited by: Christian Kaunzner on Apr 30, 2008 10:21 AM

Hi, check how your system is defined in the SLD. The daily "refresh" of the systems data stored in SMSY coming from the SLD could be your problem.

Sun Java System Portal Server 6.0 FAQs

Sun Java System Portal Server 6.0 FAQs.
Author: Sanjeev Agarwal
Q. How to connect to external URLs from Sun ONE Portal Server? I want to use URL Scrapper for some of external sites/URLs.
Ans:
You can connect to external URLs if you have a Proxy Server running.
If you are using Web Server addition of Sun ONE the Portal Server then
go to /opt/SUNWam/servers/https-hostname.domainname/config/ dir
In the jvm12.conf file, enter the followings:
http.proxyHost=proxyservername.domainname
http.proxyPort=80 (or the appropriate proxy server port number)
https.proxyHost=proxyservername.domainname
https.proxyPort=80 (or the appropriate proxy server port number)
If you are using Sun ONE AppServer addition of Sun ONE Portal Server then
go to /var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/<server-instance>/config dir
In the server.xml file, enter the followings:
<jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxyservername.domainname </jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyPort=80 (or the appropriate proxy server port number) </jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dhttps.proxyHost=proxyservername.domainname </jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dhttps.proxyPort=80 (or the appropriate proxy server port number) </jvm-options>
After this modification restart the server.
Q. Explain all the processes (solaris 8 and S1 Portal Server 6.0) which runs when I start the Sun ONE Portal Server.
Ans.
These are the processes that a running Portal Server installation (Sun ONE WebServer addition, without SRAP) generally has by default.
1. Directory server processes:
- ns-slapd (LDAP server instance)
- uxwdog (admin server process) (parent process)
--- ns-httpd
----- ns-httpd
2. Auth Helper processes:
- doUnix
3. Web-Server/Identity-Server/Portal-Server processes:
As the Portal Server and Identity Server runs as web application on the Web Server, so they share the same JVM and processes.
- uxwdog (web server admin server process) (parent process)
--- ns-httpd
----- ns-httpd
(for each web server instance)
- uxwdog (parent process)
- ns-httpd
- ns-httpd
or (in case of MaxProc=n )
- uxwdog (parent process)
--- ns-httpd
----- ns-httpd
----- ns-httpd
----- n
Q. I have created a custom Provider but getting this error when I access the desktop, what do I do?
> error in the desktop.debug file:
> ERROR: DesktopServlet.handleException()
> java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name CustomTabContainerProvider,
Ans:
It needs a resource bundle for the custom provider. You need to create a file CustomTabContainerProvider.properties (as mentioned in the error message) and put it into the /etc/opt/desktop/classes directory. If you are not using any properties defined in this resource file then it can be a empty file. Have a look on the properties files that bundled containerProviders uses in dir <portal-install-dir>/SUNWps/web-apps/https-<host.domain>/portal/WEB-INF/classes.
As you are extending JSPTabContainerProvider class, you can just copy the file JSPTabContainerProvider.properties from the above directory after renaming it to the <defined-provider-name>.properties (in your case CustomTabContainerProvider.properties) and move it into /etc/opt/desktop/classes directory.
Q. what is actually multiple instances of Portal Server means?
Ans:
Multiple instance of Portal Server means, you will have more http listeners for the same desktop contents and the same identity profiles stored in a single Directory Server which all the instances share.
In simple words you can have your Portal Server listening on different http ports, but uses same configuration, desktop and identities.
It can help you to share the load for Portal Server http requests. The alternate methods are to create more web server virtual server processes (maxProc=n, but in this case the listening port will be 1 only) or use some hardware load balancer.
You can achieve more from multiple instances if you have a multi level organization, you can change the look and feel of all the instances, images, services, components and can assign each instance to different organization or sub-organization.
Q. How do I check the availability of the Sun ONE Portal Server/Identity Server services.
Ans:
You can check the availability of Sun ONE Identity Server services from following urls.
http://<host.domainname>:<port>/amserver/sessionservice
http://<host.domainname>:<port>/amserver/loggingservice
To know the availability of components of Sun ONE Portal Server like Desktop/providers/Rewriter/Netmail you have to login into desktop. These are not services, but just the programming identities which will work if your Web Server and Identity Server is running.
Just go to URL http://<server>:<port>/portal/dt , if it shows up that means your portal server is fine, and these entities will work for sure.
Q. I am able to add the yahoo channels to existing users. But I am getting the weather for London not for local New Jersey. My language pref is to en|en_US and also the server is the default U.S server and not europe. How do I add the cities I want to see on weather channel?
Ans:
A Portal user himself (after login) can select what cities he want to see in weather channel.
Steps:
- click the edit button of weather channel
- click on the area you belong to from Available Sections
- select the cities from Available Cities select box and add them to Your Choices.
- click finished from select city page and then again click finished from select area page.
It will come back to the Portal Desktop and you will see all the cities you have selected in the weather channel.
Q. How to use getContent() method to use in custom jsp providers (developed by ourselves) so that it can be used to retrieve a jsp page. I have already placed the JSP file in the directory structure /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/channel_dir. But still the jsp is not being displayed.
Ans:
You don't have to do anything in the custom JSPProvider's getContent method except the call { return super.getContent(request,response); } . If all you want is just to show your jsp, then create a channel from the default JSPProvider, and edit the property contentPage of that channel from samplecontent.jsp to your jsp name, save the changes and login again. You should see your JSP.
Q. I want to remove all the buttons (help/edit etc.) from all the channels/one particular channel in my desktop?
Ans:
You can hide any buttons you want from any channel.
These steps show how to hide all the buttons.
1. Create a channel say "myNetlet" from netlet provider.
2. Set the channel title to "myNetlet"
3. Go to the dir /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/JSPTableContainerProvider and edit the file providerCommands.jsp, and modify the last line :
from :
<%=minMaximizeCommand%><%=helpCommand%><%=editCommand%><%=detachAtachCommand%><%=removeCommand%>
to:
<% if ( !(title.equals("myNetlet"))){ %><%=minMaximizeCommand%><%=helpCommand%><%=editCommand%><%=detachAtachCommand%><%=removeCommand%><% } %>
4. Clean the dir mentioned below which contains compiled JSPs. /var/opt/SUNWps/https-<host>.<domain>/portal/tmp/_jsps/_etc/_opt/_SUNWps/_desktop/_default_en/_JSPTableContainerProvider/_html and reload the page.
Relogin, and you would not see any buttons on "myNetlet" channel. You can customize this logic as per your needs.
Q. How to change the title of SampleJSP Channel. I tried to change the channel properties title value via iplanet directory Server Access Management GUI. But it is not getting reflected.
Ans:
Through Admin console you can change the channel property "title", and as soon as you refresh the page (Shift reload) of relogin in the portal it get's reflected.
The reason to this problem may be due to the channel property "title" is having "propagate" value as false and you are setting the channel title in the org level display profile not in the user level display profile.
So better you change the channel name in user's display profile also.
For this login into admin console and go to :
- View: "User Management" -> click on organization -> Show: Users
- click on the blue arrow of that user
- click on Edit in section Desktop (this will open a window)
- then change the channel properties same way you do for Organization display profile.
Q. Login Problem with SunOne Portal 6.0.
I was able to download and install sun one portal 6 on Solaris 8. The sample portal page came up after installation. However whenever I try to login to the Login channel with "amadmin" and the passphrase I used during installation, it takes me to another page - iPlanet/LDAP authentication page. Here I tried using the same login, but fails every time (the same login page appears). The url that shows is "http://<hostname>/amserver/login?module=dproadmin&goto=/amconsole/base/AMAdminFrame"
I tried registering myself as a new user as well. This too fails.
Ans:
Make sure you are giving fully qualifying the hostname in the url which invoked the desktop. This in fact is documented in the administration documentation. If the hostname is not fully-qualified, the login page goes into an endless mode. Again, the correct url is "http://<fully-qualified-hostname>/portal". Once you get to the desktop, the login and the new user registration works.
Q. How to send variables/parameters from 1 app to another app deployed on Sun ONE Portal Server? It may be the apps or different JSPs of JSP provider channel.
How to achieve inter channel communication in Sun ONE Portal Server?
Ans:
You can use servlet context object or session, or may be the request object itself to store the information from one channel and use that in another channel. The use of either of these 3 approaches may depend on your requirements. Using session, the information will be available to that user's channels only, using request, the information will be available for that user and that request only and by using ServletContext you can share the information across users and sessions. You can obtain DesktopServlet's ServletContext object inside JSP/JSPProvider.
Q. I am trying to modify the default desktop JSPs in TableContainerProvider and TabCotntainerProvider dirs, but it is not picking my modified JSPs ? what do I do?
Ans:
One easiest way to 100% ensure that it updates all your new jsp pages is to remove all the compiled jsps so that with next request the Sun ONE Portal Server compiles all the jsps and will make sure that your modification will be taken care of in next request.
Go to /var/opt/SUNWps/https-<instance_name>/portal/tmp/_jsp/_etc/_opt/_SUNWps/_desktop/_default_<locale>/ and remove everything. and access the Portal server, it will be little slow as it has to compile all the JSPs again. Here you will find directories in the name of Containers and Channels, so if you are modifying any particular Container/Channel you can just delete that only. This approach can help a lot during development time.
Q. What is the location of compiled JSPs in Sun ONE portal Server and what servlet spec does it supports?
Ans: The Portal server 6.0 runs on Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 sp2, which supports only jdk 1.3 and servlet spec 2.2 only. The Sun ONE Portal Server keeps the compiled jsps of desktop and channels in : /var/opt/SUNWps/https-<instance_name>/portal/tmp/_jsp/_etc/_opt/_SUNWps/_desktop/_default_<locale>/ dir as per the channels/container names.
Servlet 2.3 is supported if you run the Portal Server edition that runs on Sun ONE Application Server 7.0.
Q. How do I change jdk for Sun ONE Portal Server to another jdk? I want to change the JDK of only one of my Portal Server instances, is it possible? how?
Ans:
Yes you can achieve both.
A. To change the JDK for all the server instances:
Open <portal-install-dir>/SUNWam/servers/https-admserv/start-jvm file and modify the first line
NSES_JDK=/usr/java_1.3.1_04; export NSES_JDK
to
NSES_JDK=<your-jdk-location> ; export NSES_JDK
then open <portal-install-dir>/SUNWam/servers/https-<instance-name>/config/jvm12.conf file of all the server instances and add a line
jvm.option=-server after the first line
B. To change the JDK for a particular server instances:
Make a another copy of the start-jvm file rename it and modify the jdk location in it as mentioned above.
Open the start script from <portal-install-dir>/SUNWam/servers/https-<instance-name> dir and modify these lines :
if test -r {SERVER_ROOT}/https-admserv/start-*
then
for STARTSCRIPT in {SERVER_ROOT}/https-admserv/start-*
modify this to
if test -r {SERVER_ROOT}/https-admserv/<changed_name_of_start-jvm-file>
then
for STARTSCRIPT in {SERVER_ROOT}/https-admserv/<changed_name_of_start-jvm-file>
Note: As Portal Server 6.0 uses Web server 6.0 sp2, jdk 1.4 is not supported.
Q. How do I create a custom login page or a link, which will just log me into the portal server.
Ans:
You can create a custom page in your jsp page, just add this portion of html into your web page :
<FORM action="http://<server>:<port>/amserver/login?module=<login-module>&page=1" method=post name=login_form2 target=_top>
Login page using <login-module><br>
<P>Enter UserId<BR><INPUT name=TOKEN0 size=22></P>
<P>Enter Password<BR><INPUT name=TOKEN1 size=22 type=password></P>
<P><INPUT name=Submit type=submit value=Submit> </P>
</FORM>
The <login-module> can be LDAP or Unix or Membership which ever you have enabled. Or instead of this you can create a link. For example for LDAP auth module :
"<a href="http://<server>:<port>/amserver/login?module=LDAP&page=1&TOKEN0=user&TOKEN1=password" target=_top> Login into Portal </a>"
where user and password are the user credential for the portal server.
Q. Can I install a portal server pointing to another Identity server? I want to install few postal servers (on different machines) pointing to same identity server, is it possible?
Ans:
No, right now the Sun ONE Portal Server is tightly integrated with Sun ONE Identity Server so you can't just install only Sun ONE Portal Server and point it to another Sun ONE Identity Server. You can have a common Directory server if you want.
Q. I have an application which takes input in from anonymous user and then to complete the request the user than has to login. I am having problem in passing the taken input from anonymous page to logged in user. all the request parameters are lost when I log in. How do i get the request parameters after I log in
Ans:
You can create a custom login page and submit the form to "/amserver/login" with a hidden parameter "goto" through which you basically specify which url to go after you log in. So you can use this mechanism to create a query string with all your request parameters you want to pass after login. For example:
You can create a jsp which take few inputs from user and to complete the request you have to login so it posts the input form to a login jsp and stores the parameters taken from user in a hidden field (goto) :
<FORM action="/amserver/login?module=LDAP&page=1" method=post name=login_form2 target=_top>
Login page using LDAP<br>
<P>Enter UserId<BR><INPUT name=TOKEN0 size=22></P>
<P>Enter Password<BR><INPUT name=TOKEN1 size=22 type=password></P>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="goto" VALUE="/portal/dt?param1=<%=request.getParameter("param1")%>&param2=<%=request.getParameter("param2")%>">
<P><INPUT name=Submit type=submit value=Submit> </P>
</FORM>
After you login through this page both the param1 and param 2 will be available in the request object after you login and you can retrieve them in your application or jsp.
Q. I have few System.out.println in my jsp which i am using in my JSP provider channel, but when I look at the portal server's /var/opt/SUNWam/debug/desktop.debug file, none are there. I looked at the web server's access and error logs too, but it is not there also. Can somebody tell me how do it get those ? Do we have any other mechanism to put debug logs ?
Ans
By default the binary which web server runs is uxwdog which eats up System.out.println output. If you want to see the System.out.println then you need to change the product binary from the start script of the portal server instance.
- Go to <portal-install-dir>/SUNWam/servers/https-<instance-name> and open the start script
- Change the PRODUCT_BIN=uxwdog to PRODUCT_BIN=ns-httpd , save the file
- Run the script ./start to start the portal server
Note : with ns-httpd ON the server will not leave that shell, and in the same window/shell you will be able to see all your System.out.println statements. To close the server you have to kill the server process with "kill -9 pids" command
Alternate way is to use api inside your application or jsp:
<%@page import="com.sun.portal.providers.jsp.JSPProvider, com.sun.portal.providers.*, com.sun.portal.providers.containers.*, com.sun.portal.providers.context.*" %>
<% JSPProvider p=(JSPProvider)pageContext.getAttribute("JSPProvider");
ProviderContext pc = p.getProviderContext(); %>
<%-- after that you can use these lines any where in your jsp --%>
<%
pc.debugError("your error msg");
pc.debugMessage("your msg");
pc.debugWarning("your warning msg");
%>
The particular mgs will be shwon in /var/opt/SUNWam/debug/desktop.debug file as per your "debugLevel" parameter setting in /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/desktopconfig.properties file. By default the debugLevel is set to error so only pc.debugError("error msg") will be shown.
Q. Multipart form (file upload) processing in providers? Is it supported
Ans:
The Sun ONE Portal Server's DesktopServlet does not have the ability to process a request with the content encoding type of multipart/form-data. DesktopServlet does not pass the input stream for the request on to the Provider.
To accomplish handling of multipart/form-data type requests, it is necessary to create a companion servlet or JSP that process the multipart/form-data. This servlet can then pass control back to the Portal channel. The data from the file can be shared between the servlet and the provider by using static Java members or by storing the data in a back-end database and then passing a reference to the data over to the provider.
Q. After installing the Portal Server I am trying to login as admin, but it is failing and coming back to login page every time. How do I login?
Ans:
The Default Admin user is 'amadmin' and the password is the PASSPHRASE you give during Portal Server installation. Try login using these credentials.
Also in the browser give the complete URL for the Portal Server like : Http://<myhost>.<mydomain>:<port>/amserver/login or Http://<myhost>.<mydomain>:<port>/amconsole. You can't login into portal server's IDSAME console by giving IP Address or just the hostname, also your machine should be listed in the DNS server so that it can resolve the name.
Q. I installed Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 some time back, and now I want to know all the installation parameters and user/passwords for whole portal installation. How do I do that?
Ans:
The Default Admin user is 'amadmin' and the password is the PASSPHRASE you give during Portal Server installation. Also in the browser give the complete URL for the Portal Server like : Http://<myhost>.<mydomain>:<port>/amserver/login or Http://<myhost>.<mydomain>:<port>/amconsole. You can't login into portal server's IDSAME console by giving IP Address or just the hostname, also your machine should be listed in the DNS server so that it can resolve the name.
In case you have forgotten the port numbers and PASSPHRASE that you give during installation, you still can see all the information for each component of your Portal Server Installation. The Portal server and it's components like Directory Server, Web Server and IDSAME are installed as Solaris package so the system has all the information for these packages.
Portal Server : See file /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWps/pkginfo
Directory Server : See files /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWamds/pkginfo and /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWamdsc/pkginfo
Web Server : See file /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWamws/pkginfo
Identity Server : See file /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWamsam/pkginfo
Note: In any case you should never edit/modify these files.
Q. Controlling the display of the help (?) button.
Where are the links/image elements defined for the help/edit/minimize buttons? the leafWrapper.jsp pulls the hashtable out of the HttpRequest, and that hashtable is being used by providerCommands.jsp:
Hashtable commands = (Hashtable)request.getAttribute("provider_cmds");
Any idea where this is being set?
Ans:
- You can remove the help/edit button of any channel by adding the line into the Channel's properties by editing the Xml of display profile in the admin console.
<String name="helpURL" value="" advanced="false" merge="replace" lock="false" propagate="true"/>
<Boolean name="isEditable" value="false" advanced="false" merge="replace" lock="false" propagate="true"/>
The Attribute 'provider_cmds' is set into /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/JSPTableContainerProvider/tablecolumn.jsp :
<dttable:getProviderCommand id="provider_cmds" scope="request" />, and after that only the leafwrapper.jsp is included, but the Hashtable is generated by a class com.sun.portal.providers.util.ProviderCommands.java and made available through taglib classes. So you can't change the generated contents/string in the Hashtable.
But you can change the default 'alt' text displayed and the images linked to the help/edit icons. As this modification is at Provider level, it will change the icons for all the channels in the desktop.
Please see the file:
/opt/SUNWps/web-apps/https-<host>.<domain>/portal/WEB-INF/classes/JSPTABLEContainerProvider.properties.
Here you will find the mapping. The image location are given from the context root of portal server which is by default : /opt/SUNWps/web-apps/https-<host>.<domain>/portal.
Q. I have a number of web applications needed to integrate to portal server. Any pointers or tips of what my option is?
Ans:
You can very well integrate all your web application with Portal server. Portal Server 6.0 has web container same as Sun ONE web server 6.0 Sp2, which runs on Jdk-1.3.
If your web applications are just Servlets/Jsps then you can very well port them on Portal server's webserver which supports war module deployment. (infect for Web server the Portal server and Identity server is like a war module.)
There can be two possibilities in this case, either you put the whole of your application on portal server and make the link available into the desktop via 'Application Provider Channels' or you can create a client to your web application into portal server.
If your web application is on Sun ONE Application server 7.0 and needs authentication, you can also have SSO. If you just want to show the link of your web application into desktop then you can either use URL Scrapper to show the first page of your web application or use Bookmark channel to provide just the url.
The easiest way to make a client of your web application is to use JSP Channel using JSPProvider and put your logic into the samplecontents.jsp file or you can create your own custom Provider extending JSPProvider. There can be a lot of different configurations, depending on the web application you want to integrate and your needs
Q. I removed few channels from the org level display profile but still they are coming to the desktop of users, I had accessed the desktop before. why?
Ans:
If you still see any channel after you remove it from the display profile at organization lever, that means you have to edit the user's display profile. So go to admin console and select User from Show: menu and click on the blue arrow near the user. In the right frame under the 'Desktop' category click on the Edit link (right side). This will open user's display profile in a window. Now edit it as per your requirements.

Unfortunately Web Server 6.0SP2 is no longer available for download.
If you must use Web Server 6.0, you should use the most current Service Pack. It is backward compatible and contains many performance and security fixes.

Activate CHaRM using Virtual Systems in Landscape

Is it possible to activate a CHaRM project against a landscape that
contains virtual systems?
We currently have a Development system (DEV) with a virtual Test system
(QAS) and virtual Production system (PRD). These systems are marked as
Virtual in TMS and SMSY System Landscape. We have added these systems t
o
the Logical Components and created a new Solution Manager project and
want to activate CHaRM against this scenario. .
The TMS routes are defined with Dev -> QAS(virtual) -> PRD(virtual). Is
this scenario possible? Do the standard CHaRM activation checks (RFC's,
Authorizations, etc) get bypassed because these systems are virtual?
When activating CHaRM, we still receive the error that no consolidation
system exists for our Dev system even though the TMS routes have been
defined properly. However, since these systems are virtual, we cannot
add client information to them.
Thanks

A virtual system cannot export any TR. So any request imported to QAS cannot be exported

How to Uninstall a failed Virtual Machine Management Server (x64) installation ?

Dear Technet Team,
I cannont uninstall the Virtual Machine Management Server (x64). Already tried it with the Installation Image. The Uninstalling process suddenly crashed without no error. I delete everything so far DB as well because it was never in use. So how can
I uninstall the Management Server. I did not install it a Cluster as well.
By the way i tried it with wmic but there i got "no instance available" error. I am stucking with this quite a while. I messed it up really hard so i think i must manually delete all regestry keys because i already delete some. Is there a way to
uninstall it Forcefully ?
Thank you!
Yours sincerely,
Tobias

Requests could not appear in Production Server

Hi,
I have an strange issue here,
we have recently installed the Production server,
and i added that server in the STMS using the standard 3 system configuration ,the issue i am facing here is i could not see the requests which are in transport directory of Quality server .
i could only see the today's requests which are around 25, these requests are appearing the PRD Import Queue.
whereas old requests nearly 250, are not appearing ,
I have to move all these requests to prd server to setup Production Client.
Please Advise ASAP.
Thnaks,
Irfan.

Hi Irfan,
I'm doing this without access to a system, so I'm not 100% sure that it is without syntax errors. But it's way easier that adding 250+ transport manually to the buffer.
1) Start transaction STMS_QUEUES
2) Select (single click) the QA system and then in the menu: Goto => History => Import History
The list shown is an overview of all the transports that were imported into your QA system. The sequence is order in which they we imported into the QA system.
3) Save this list via the menu: System => List => Save => Local File. Use Spreadsheet as the format. This makes it easier to convert it to the correct batch-file.
4) In the saved Excel file remove the header lines, the columns before and after the transport numbers.
5) Insert an empty column before the transport numbers. In this column you need to add the text "tp addtobuffer" without the quotes.
6) Insert an empty column after the column with the transport numbers. In this column insert the system ID "PRD" without the quotes. Also add the text " pf=<drive letter>\usr\sap\trans\bin\TP_DOMAIN_<your tms controller sid>.PFL"
7) Save the file as plain text with a space as an column separator and call it add2BufferPRD.bat
8) Make a copy of production system the buffer file in /usr/sap/trans/buffer
9) As the user prdadm run the file add2BufferPRD.bat
This should do the trick.

No Transport request in Virtual system

Hi,
I have setup the STMS , where we do not have production server hence i have used virtual system.
All Transport request moved from Dev to Quality which appears fine the queue of QAS Server, but not appearing in Production Server which is virtaul.
kindly advise.
Thanks you
irfan.

Hi,,
We do not have any QA Approval procedure, but all requests are assigned to one project.
Seconldy i went into the Tcode SE01 entered the released transport number but i could not see any such logs which says waiting for QA approval.
all it says is this..

Sudden Kernal Panics with Production Server

I was called in today because a departmental supervisor had to manually restart their production server today and the application that ran on it didn't restart properly. After some looking and then another controlled restart to get the application going again, the server kernal paniced. From actualy examination, it appears this is what happened the first time.
As the server is in production mode, I've not taken any steps with Dr. Smoke's troubleshooting list, but I have pulled the panic.log and I'm posting it here. If someone has any clue where I should start, that would be helpful!

PowerBook G4 17 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.5G RAM

Hi, L.
The panic cited, i.e.
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x000E7FF4): vnode_put(1d95210): iocount < 1</tt>
implies something is amiss either with affected Mac's hard drive directory (potentially affecting either file information or virtual memory swap files) or your RAM. Processor or programming errors are also possible, but I'd say less likely.
A vnode is defined here as "An in-memory data structure containing information about a file."
The particular message sited in the panic comes from the vfs_subr.c component of the operating system, concerned with "External virtual filesystem routines."
I suggest you troubleshoot this off-hours using my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ, as you noted. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics.
My FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work through to the end, following the instruction in the order specified, including the "If all else fails..." section if a cause or resolution is not found in an earlier troubleshooting step therein.
If you look at this Google search you'll find some similar reports that find issues with hard drive files, RAM, bad NIC, and related things that the troubleshooting steps in my FAQ would help you isolate. However, follow my FAQ step-by-step rather than skipping around as it's designed to find high-probability / low-effort causes up front.
Good luck!

If 7.0 was released, how come http://www.sun.com/webserver still only talks about 6.1?

Budget Exceed Issue in work Order (P.O) in Production Server.

Hi Friends,
I am getting different type of budget exceed issue, that to only in Production server.
Here the issue is when I am creating the work order P.O (Acc.As. Cat.P, Itm Cat. D) with different service line items with respective WBSe with in the budget limit, then I am doing SES for some quantity, now when I am changing (I am decreasing not increasing) the same P.O line item available quantity and creating the new version now system is calculating the old version line item quantity + new version quantity (nothing but double) then giving budget exceed error.
One more strange thing is, if I change quantity for one line item then system is giving budget exceed error for another line item which is having the different WBSe which was saved with out giving any error at the time of P.O creation.
This issue is happening only in Production server ....same scenario I have run with the same values in both Dev. and Qau. (Where the config. is same in all 3 clients) but in both the clients it is working fine...but in production why the system is behaving in such a way I am not getting.
In the below I have given the test scenario...

Hi,
I have face similar issue in deleting PO line items.
Even though I delete items, system check budget for deleted qty with the currency conversion + value & gives budget exceed error.
In some cases we have asked user to deactivated AVAC asked to do the transaction, which is not recommended.
You can try running CJBN & CJBV in sequence for affected WBS.
Thanks & reg,

Old SD and MM documents shall be deleted on productive server

We have the situation that the same SD and MM documents sitting on two different productive servers. This is caused due to the migration from 4.0B to 4.7 some years ago. Some of our companies were kept on 4.0B with SD and MM enviroment on a separate server and the other companies were transfered to a new server. At that ttime the new server was build as copy from the old 4.0B server and then migrated.
For the migration to ERP6.0 we like to clean up the current productive server. During the preparation we noticed that the old SD and MM documents don't fit into the new management requirements. Therefore we woudl like to get rid of it. Problem is that we will not archive these documents. Furthermore there a lot of open purchase and sales orders that can't be closed.
Question: Does anybody have a solution how we can delete all of these SD and MM documents before we migrate the server to ERP6.0?
Thanks

I would use the System Landscape Optimization service for that purpose, they can provide you with tools to do those "merging" of two systems.

Hi Swapna,
Please check the logon group properties for SAP system in t-code SMLG. If there is any issue with logon group then it might cause for this issue.

New production server PLUS upgrade!

After years of groveling, weekly church visits, and burning incense, it appears that I will finally be able to get a new production server for our 3.3 TB data warehouse. They are also going to add 2 TB of space to our main storage array.
In addition, management wants to upgrade from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2 as part of that migration. Our current server was not able to handle 11g, according to Oracle.
In recent times, I have had to do some very non-standard things as a dba, mostly due to insufficient resources. So these migrations may not be as straightforward as what you read in the docs, and therefore I would like some opinions about how best to achieve the migration to the new box, and to 11gR2.
Our current environment is a Sunfire 6800 Sparc 64 box with 12 900mhz cpus and 16G of ram, and Solaris 10.
Most of our datafiles are housed on a 3.7 TB Sun 2540 storage array, but due to space and performance constraints, it was decided to put one very large and mostly unimportant tablespace (350G) on a 2.1 TB Sun 3511 array. We also put our 2 temporary tablespaces (about 54G) on that array. Also on the 3511 array is our db_recovery_file_dest area, with all of our archived redo logs and flashback logs. Due to lack of space there, I have to direct our RMAN database file backups, archived log backups, and exports to an unsupported Hitachi SAN, which is 8 years old, like our Sunfire 6800.
The new server is a Sun M4000 with Solaris 10, so the OS will not be an issue. It will have 4 4-way 2.5ghz processors and 32G of ram. The newly expanded 2540 array will have enough space to hold us for a few years. It is currently 3.7TB, using 2.6 of that. When expanded, it will be about 5.8TB.
My mission is to move all of the temporary tablespace and other data files (about 1 TB) and the exports (1 TB) to the newly expanded 2540. We will keep the space (2.1 TB) allocated on the 3511 attached to the new server, but it will be used ONLY for recovery-related files; rman backups, flashback logs, archived logs, etc. My goal is to keep at least two full rman backups in that space, along with all the necessary archived log backups. We are supposed to get everything off of the old SAN. So, there will be a lot of file shuffling, nothing new for this shop.
My plan would be to install 10.2.0.3 (same exact version) on the new server, then hook it up to the existing storage arrays. (My boss thinks that will reformat all of the disks on those arrays, but I don't think that is necessarily true. I believe it is possilble to mount each file system on those arrays to the new box, so long as they have been unmounted from the old one. Then again, I am not a Unix Admin)
Next, I would startup-mount the database, move the necessary files to the 2540 using Oracle and Unix commands, then shut down the db. Then, I would install 11gR2 with all patches on the new server, and upgrade the database manually, in place.
If my boss is right and connecting the new server to the existing arrays means re-initializing them, he asked if we could use our last RMAN backup to restore the database in the new environment. I said if we were still running 10g at that time on the new server, and all the file systems were identical, that should be possible. However, I should note that we do NOT use an RMAN catalog (RMAN uses the controlfile). We have no place to put an RMAN catalog. I have never even had a place to test doing a restore with RMAN.
If anyone out there has been through a migration to a new server along with an Oracle upgrade, I would appreciate any ideas on the best way to go about it.

Hi,
Its not recommended to upgrade OS and Database same time. I would recommend :
1) Migrate database from Old Server to new Severs.
-> Install OS, packages, patches, create users, groups, mount points and configure kernel parameters as required.
-> Restore $ORACLE_HOME, inventories, mount all data partitions on same mount points similar to old servers
-> Perform relink for all oracle home binaries using command relink all command.

2) Then perform an upgrade for your database.
