Urgent: Installing SolMan 4.0 Non-Unicode - Kernel DVD trouble

Hi all,
I have a problem here with the Kernel DVD's.. I am installing SolMan 4.0 non-unicode on Solaris 10/Oracle 10. When I am asked to provide a path to "Kernel NW04sSR1" media, I provide the path to media number 51032262 (SAP NW2004S SR2) which is the closest I get.. On this DVD, there is a folder called KN_SOLARIS_SPARC with contains a LABEL.ASC like this:
<b>"SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL:SAP Unicode Kernel 700:SOLARIS_SPARC:CD51030xxx"</b>
The label that is requested by SAPinst is "SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL::SOLARIS_SPARC:"
Is this not the correct DVD that I am providing?
Please help!
Best Regards,
Thomas Kjelsrud

Hi,
I have the 51032263 DVD, which contains both the unicode and non-unicode kernel.
We have decided to go with a unicode installation of SolMan 4.0, but still I am having the problem with SAPInst requesting the Kernel NW04sSR1 DVD.. In my DVD-kit I only have NW04sSR2 kernel DVD.
When I try to specify the exact CD (KU_SOLARIS_SPARC) within the DVD I get this message: "You entered /tmp/d510302263/KU_SOLARIS_SPARC Unable to find a LABEL:ASC at location >< (Look for label SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL::SOLARIS:SPACR:"
Please help, who can I contact as SAP with this issue?

Target system install problem (SAPINST searching for Non unicode kernel)

Hi,
I'm currently performing a unicode conversion (from 4.7 to EHP4). I am finished with the upgrade and I'm now in the unicode conversion part.
I have completed the export and selected unicode as the target system. I am done with source system uninstallation and I'm now installing the unicode target system. I have selected unicode during the parameter selection (it's the default option anyway) but during the part where it will ask for the kernel DVD, it doesn't accept the path of my unicode kernel (and instead looks for the non-unicode kernel)

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your response. This problem is now resolved. It turns out that there are some remaining files from the old /usr/sap/<> and /sapmnt/SID/exe that were not deleted yet (after uninstalling for non unicode system). I proceeded to delete again these files and ensure that there are no files from the non unicode system

System copy : As Java : Non-unicode kernel Option not available

Dear All,
we are performing AS Java system copy to create a new system , same SID , same HOST and same Configuration except OS is upgraded.
Susle Linux OS - 11 SP3
As Java Nw 701
kernel version -
NW701 - Kernel 721_Ext - Non_unicode - 201 patch level
We have successfully completed export and now we are importing the same export in new server,now while performing taget installation we are not getting option to install NON UNICODE kernel , except it is only asking for UC Kernel 7.20/7.21.
Current version of system is non-unicode and we will like to keep it that way.
May I know is non-unicode system copy option is not available? is it removed ?
and if we want to install non-unicode then how we can perform that ?
Can we install target system using UC kernel and later just perform NON-unicode kernel upgrade, will this work?
Has anyone faced such concern?
Guidance will be appreciated.
Regards,
Bond

Thanks for update RB.
We have tried this method as in we stop SAP and sync file systems and perform DB/Backup restore method. This method works but unfortunately I am not able to find any SAP relevant document to support this method for so called "java" systems.
SAP only suggest to perform system copy for "java" hence we are trying via export import. Currently I am looking into options of using old master installation software.
although, can i request you if you any SAP relevant note or kba or any other in which SAP support/suggest we can perform file system copy and db restore for "Java" systems then it will be just a thing which I need to go ahead with method you suggested.
Thanks , kindly update.

Unicode Kernel Diagnostics Agent install on non_unicode kernel System.

We have some ECC 6.0 ABAP systems that do not have a unicode kernel. The diagnostics agent setup guide for Netweaver 7.0 says you should have a unicode kernel DVD for the diagnostics agent install. I was hesitant about using a unicode kernel for the SMD agent and a non-unicode kernel on the ECC 6.0 instance. I tried installing the agent with the non-unicode kernel DVD and got an error that would not let me continue. Anybody have experience with this?

Carl,
David is Right, SMD is itself an SAP Instance(to be considered a seperate system-SAP Note:1365123) with its own exe. So it shouldn't be a problem.

Can we install XI3.0 SR1 on a NON-UNICODE SAP ABAP + Java System

Hello,
I am trying to install XI 3.0 SR1 but i don't have an UNICODE SAP ABAP + Java System. So my question is, that is it possible to install XI on a NON-UNICODE SAP ABAP + JAVA Syatem?

Xi 3.0 is an non unicode system, so i guess you can start installing the Xi3.0.....
might be helpfull

Upgrade from R/3 4.7 (Kernel 640 non unicode)

Greetings
In our company we are planning a major upgrade from R/3 Enterprise 4.7 EXT200 (Kernel 640) over Windows 2008 to the latest release available, the thing is i am a little bit confused about what I should suggest since I havenu2019t done much u201Cadvancedu201D stuff besides system copy and ECC installations and some concepts are still unclear to me, like what netweaver means for example.
This is our scenario, we have a R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext2.00 (Kernel 640 non unicode) system with Oracle 10.2.0.4 over Windows 2008 SP2 x64 with Microsoft Failover Clustering (DB and App server per separate)
Since thereu2019s no java instance Iu2019m guessing I need to do an upgrade to ECC 6.0 Ehp5 ABAP Only and then do a Java Instance install right?
Whatu2019s the difference between ERP 6.0 EhP5 and Netweaver 7.0 EhP1? Can anyone clear some of this concepts to me?
I thank you in advance for all your kind replies

You need to Upgrade SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC (EHP5 or EHP4) whatever version you would like to go for and Oracle to 11G as oracle 10 has been in extended maintenance support
Since thereu2019s no java instance Iu2019m guessing I need to do an upgrade to ECC 6.0 Ehp5 ABAP Only and then do a Java Instance install right?
You don't have to install Java instance, until you have a requirement. If you have other Java system's you can use those systems for ADS and others

AddIns("Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL (non-Unicode)").Installed = False

I am using Hyperion Essbase 11.1.1.3 Version. Previously I was using Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1. I have used "AddIns("Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL (non-Unicode)").Installed = False" for Essbase 9.3.1. Can anyone please let me know the similar VB code for Essbase 11.1.1.3?

For example, We have 3 Planning applications and when we run business rules on these 3 applications, Essbase divide his tasks using always 13% of CPU (1/8)...^^^Essbase is single threaded. Unless you use parallel calculation in the BRs (not that I particularly recommend that within the context of a Planning app) that's Working As Designed.
If you're curious about parallel calculation, the DBAG has plenty on it and the Tech Ref has all of the supporting commands and settings fully documented.
When parallel calculations work, they work really well. Sometimes there is zero (even negative) performance improvements.

Non-unicode can only have 32-bit kernel?

In a non-unicode system (NW04s), run disp+work -version,
it does tell it is 64 or 32.
I remember I saw somewhere that non-unicode goes
only with 32-bit.
Who can clarify? I'll thank you with points.

Hi Greg,
SAP supports non-unicode and unicode installations of SAP NetWeaver 2004s and prior release based systems (32 bit and 64 bit). Obviously 64bit has some advantages with memory handling and therefore can benefit unicode installations too.
For the latest information of when SAP will only ship unicode installation kits, please see this blog: /people/michael.eacrett/blog/2006/05/03/single-code-page-sap-systems-heading-towards-history--unicode-only-future
With regard to 32bit and 64bit, SAP is phasing out 32bit support and will only ship 64bit in the future. You can get more information in this blog:
/people/matt.kangas/blog/2006/05/03/will-you-still-love-me-when-im-64
I hope this helps you answer your question,
Mike.

Error during Upgradation SCM 5.0 to SCM 5.1 Non-Unicode System

Hi,
I am Upgrading SCM 5.0 Non-Unicode System to SCM 5.1 Non-unicode on Windows 2003 Server with MSS 2005 DB. During the initial PREPARE (EXTRACTKRN_PRE) phase I am getting an error like
init

SEVERE ERROR(S) OCCURRED IN EXTRACTKRN_PRE !!!
The file name it is looking for does not exist in any of the Kernel versions I have checked. If I try to skip this step it is asking for the PASSWORD. How can I get this password? (only from SAP Support or any note?).
What is the Solution for the above ERROR. Please help.
Thanks,

Again, this is a forum where the question are answered on a volunteered basis. "Demanding" help is not the way to go, you can ask for help but there's no guarantee that you'll get an answer. If you urgently need help use the official support channels or get yourself a consultant on-site who can answer all your question instantly.

It's the first entry in every forum, it contains the "Rules of Engagement" which say:
Please do not Cross post.
Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.
Just imagine if everyone like you would paste questions in several forums.

Java Add-in for AS ABAP ERP ECC 6.0 non-unicode

Hi all,
I have a AS ABAP ECC 6.0 NON-UNICODE system and i need to install Java add-in to the system without doing unicode conversion. The problem is that when i go to SAPinst:
Start SAPinst [page 90].
2. On the Welcome screen, choose <SAP system> Additional Software Life-Cycle Tasks Java Add-In for
ABAP <database> <system variant>
I have to use UC-Kernel even though my system is Non-unicode.
Is it mandatory to convert to unicode to be able to install Java add-in. I am doing this installation so i can configure Adobe Interactive Forms in the system.
All help will be apprieciated!!

The J2EE instance will always be unicode. The installation process should create an addiitional subdirectory, 'uc', under the existing kernel path to store the unicode kernel. We have been through this process and OSS note 669902 describes additional settings that are needed for a non-Unicode ABAP instance being combined with Unicode J2EE add-on. You will need to maintain both kernel versions going forward.

Parallel portal implementation in a non-unicode landscape

Hi All,
We have existing 3 system landscape with 3 systems in it.
DEVQASPRD.All of these systems are non-unicode.
The java add-in cannot be installed on them because the unicode java stack cannot talk to nonunicode abap stack.The customer does not wants to get his systems conerted to unicode.
So, how the portal implementation can be carried out in such a scenario?
We want to have an IPC installed too.
Can the communication happen in the following manner.
PRD(non-unicode)--->ipc--->EP.
PRD writing the pricing configurations on the ipc database and EP picking up the data from ipc??
Regards,
Prasanna

Hello,
We have the ECC 6.0 abap only as the backend.
Can the internet pricing configurator of the ECC 6.0 stack (VMC IPC) communicate with the portal to extract the pricing?
Since SAP IPC comes as a part of kernel for abap basic 7.0 and is it necessary to install the standalone IPC for it communicate with the portal.
Regards.

Personas non-Unicode

Hello all,
We are just exploring the opportunities and requirements for Personas. I would appreciate input in two areas. Thanks in advance.
Mary Ann Koskinen
1. We are non-Unicode. Personas is not officially supported for non-Unicode. However, the software runs in our environment. What possible issues could exist in non-Unicode, other than the incorrect transmission of a character? We use only English in our facilites globally, so I am not sure why this could be an issue. Is anyone running Personas in non-Unicode and have you experienced any issues?
2. Is it sensible and preferred to run Personas from its own server. This came up from our Basis team. We have multiple servers for each environment. Would Personas implementations need to follow the same path as other implementations(dev, QA, production)?

I don't have first-hand experience of question 1 - my systems are Unicode systems. However I have spoken to others running Personas in non-Unicode systems with no technical issues, so it appears to work at least in some circumstances. You'd need to try it in your system to be sure it works for you. Whether or not you are prepared to run without official support is a separate question.
As for question 2, Persons v2, the currently available version, does run in this mode, with a central "hub" installation of Personas giving access to a number of other "satellite" systems that don't need the Personas add-on to be installed. All systems, hi and satellites, do need the Personas compatible kernel, though. However, Personas v3 does not support this mode of operation - the add-on needs to be installed in every system. This will make a v2 -> v3 upgrade more complicated, should you opt for a hub installation of v2.

Can't run non-UNICODE-DbSl against UNICODE database

Hi everyone. I get this error during the update of Solution Manager 7.1 SPS4 (dual stack) to SPS10. It is a green install. This happens during the
phase PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP! Of the ABAP stack. Step 5.2. I do not see a lot of people with this problem, so I assume it is something I am doing wrong, as it is my first time using the tool SUM.
Details of the system:
Solution Manager 7.1 SPS4
Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 64 bit SP1
Central installation type with all components on
the same host
Kernel level 600
Here is what I have done so far:
Downloaded the media as described in the installation
guide.
Worked my way through the install using the
Software Provision Manager 1.0
Updated the Kernel from level 401 to 600, by
copying the files from the download folder to the F:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64
folder. This is the folder that is assigned to the DIR_CT_RUN parameter.
I start the STARTUP.BAT file in the SUM folder.
I then start the SUM GUI and run through the
steps and in step 3 I map the Stack configuration file (XML) to one listed in
the folder “51047130\DATA” called “SPS10_stack.xml”
Then I
get to 5.2 where the system stops with this error:
Severe error(s) occurred in phase PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP!
