Wan speed in distributed SAP installations

Dear experts,
development / tests system and production/simulation systems are geographically located in different places and hence the /usr/sap/trans is located at the production systems.
In this case what should be the Wan speed recommended in distributed SAP installation for the NFS mount?
Is there a note, document or tool to evaluate the architecture?
Regards,
Chidu

I don't know any documentation regarding this, as it's highly dependent on your usage profile of data interchange between the systems. Consider the load of following maintenance activities (list is not complete): pure transport load, client copies (RFC or TMS), system copies (backup/restore infrastructure), support packages, upgrades, connection to central systems (SLD, SolMan, Portal).
Due to this generally I would not advise to separate systems of one landscape into several datacenters without proper reason.
On the other side if you have to do so, I think /usr/sap/trans will not make any problems with midsize enterprise WAN connection (>= 2MBit sync.). But you will have to bear in mind that connection could be slower if you need to transfer more date (e.g. syscopy from P to Q). Best will be : set it up, test it, and for the case that there will be any problems save the possibility to enhance bandwidth afterwards.

SAPGUI & SAP Installation Server

Hi experts,
Currently we build a front end package (single installation) then use SMS to push it out to every computer globally. But recently the packages are getting too big to use SMS.
So we consider the SAP Installation Server as our solution on this issue. But still some questions/concerns here need to give your help- who has used the SAP Installation Server already.
1. Do we need some additional hardware requirements for this installation server? In my simple mind, it's just a software which can be running on Windows server.
2. Do we need licensing considerations for this - SAP Installation Server?
3. I have looked over the SAP installation Server guide, seems we don't need to do any maintenance of this. correct?
4. The last question also it's the important one. . How does the software delivery for SAPGUI work with SAP Installation Servers that may be decentralized around the globe? We are a global company, so it's impossible that just set up one installation server in headquarters.
Please any experts who has the similar experience give me the answer.
Best regards,
Mimi

Good morning, Mimi - We use SMS in combination with the SAP Frontend Installation Server. I will first answer your questions and then explain what we do.
1. You do not necessarily need a dedicated server strictly for the installation server. You should not install multiple versions of the SAPGui on the same server. For instance, if you have both SAPGui 6.40 and SAPGui 7.10, you would want to use 2 separate servers as the installation servers.
2. There is no additional licensing needed for a SAPGui installation server.
3. The only maintenance required is the application of SAP frontend patches as they become available. The patches are applied to the installation server and then you run an update to get the patches from the installation server to the desktop.
4. It is definitely better that you would not try to have a single installation server for a company with offices around the globe. This will increase your administration somewhat because you will have to manage multiple installation servers (applying patches, etc.). The software distribution mechanism of the installation server is that there are two services, a distribution service and an installation service. These are provided so that a user with non-admin privileges can initiate an update to the SAPGui on their desktop. This is an important consideration, because by default, both SAPGui 6.40 and SAPGui 7.10, when installed on the desktop, have a registry key set that automatically checks when SAPGui is launched to see if the patch level on the desktop is the same as the patch level on the installation server. If not, it initiates an update of the desktop. If the user does not have admin privileges, the update will fail.
The process that we utilize here is that we have one installation server. We duplicate the share where the installation server is installed to all of our SMS servers. We have SMS servers in most of our remote offices, so that when the SAPGui is pushed out, the package is not pushed over the WAN, but instead over the local network in that location, thus making it much faster and reducing the load on the WAN. We then run the SAPSetup command and supply the GUID of the package that we want to push out. We chose not to use the distribution and installation services since we want to be able to make sure that each desktop has the same patch level of the SAPGui. So we used the following scripts to disable the automatic update check:
6.40:
<i>Engine.Context.Log.Write "Event 'SAPGUI640_NONADMIN_OnEndInstall' has been invoked"
Engine.Shell.SetRegValue "HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAPSetup\SAPstart\AutoUpdate\SapLgPad.exe", "REG_SZ", "ForceOff"
Engine.Context.Log.Write "Event 'SAPGUI640_NONADMIN_OnEndInstall' has finished"</i>
7.10:
<i>NWEngine.Context.Log.Write "Event 'SAPGUI710_SAPGUI710_NONADMIN_OnEndInstall' has been invoked"
Engine.Shell.SetRegValue "HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAPSetup\SapStart\AutoUpdate\SapLogon.exe\UpdateMode", "REG_SZ", "ForceOff"
Engine.Shell.SetRegValue "HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAPSetup\SapStart\AutoUpdate\SapLgPad.exe\UpdateMode", "REG_SZ", "ForceOff"
NWEngine.Context.Log.Write "Event 'SAPGUI710_SAPGUI710_NONADMIN_OnEndInstall' has finished"</i>
We have found this to be a very manageable setup.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more information.

Error while performing SAP Installation in HA Env on Windows Server 2008

Hello,
I am performing a SAP Installation in HA Environment on Windows Server 2008. I am at the ASCS installation step.
As per the guide before installing ASCS there are some activities to be carried out on Failover Cluster Management.
I have done all the steps except one as per the guide. I am stuck in the Add FileServer Step. In this step the guide says to go to the Dependencies tab and add the cluster disk resource to the dependencies list. It also says to add the Name:Virtual NetworkName to the dependencies list.
Now in my scenario I have 3 shared drives for SAP and I have added each of them in the dependencies list of the new FileServer. The only problem is how do I add the Name:Virtual NetworkName to this list
When I continue without giving the Network name the system issues a warning "This resource requires dependencies on instances of the following resource types or classes:Network Name. Not adding these dependencies will prevent the resource from working properly. Do you want to save the current settings anyway"
If I click on Yes and bring this resource online it fails with this error message
"The action Bring this resource online did not complete.An error occured while attempting to bring the resource 'SAPECC FileServer online'. The cluster resource could not be brought online by resource monitor."
My question is how to add the Name:VirtualNetworkName to the dependencies list of the FileServer.

Mitesh Nair

Hi,
I have resolved the issue with the help of cluster admin

Need advice for SAP installation on External Hard disk

Hi Gurus,
I have HP laptop with configuration of 512 MB RAM and 50 GB hard disk...i recently bought 250 GB segate external hard disk for SAP installation...My doubt here is if i install SAP in external hard disk and will it work properly if i connect my laptop?
ur advice is much appreciated
Regards
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,
I have installed SAP on external harddisk.
And it will work properly.
But i think you need to increase your RAM.
After installation, please keep in mind one thing.
You will have to attach your external harddisk before your machine starts, because your OS will be in internal harddisk, so SAP and oracel services won't be able to run without external hard-disk.
and in case you attach after system startup, please start all services.

SAP installation guiengine:No GUI server connected;waiting for connection

Hi All,
I need one help
I am trying to install SAP ECC 6 in Redhat Linux 5 and database oracle
I have installed java 1.4.2_16, I have set the environmental variables also.
But if I start the SAP installation by executing SAPINST , I am facing the below error
guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host welcome, port 21200 to continue with the installation
I have tried to execute xclock to check it, but its gives the below error
ERROR: canu2019t open display: welcome:0.0
I found that before setting the below display environmental variable, xclock worked good, but after setting the below display environmental variable, I am facing this error
export DISPLAY=hostname:0.0
I searched for this error, some people posted that we have to change the display environmental variable like export DISPLAY=:0, set DISPLAY=:0.0,
I tried it but still facing the same No GUI server connected error.
I hope it will be a problem with display environmental variable and I have no other clues, please help me, Thanks.
Thanks,
Senthil.

Hi,
We are trying in my personal laptop, so I have not set any ip addess. Is there any other way like our loop back adapter settings in windows, to configure ip address in Redhat linux 5 in individual machines.
Also I searched in forums few other people who has already faced the same error. They have set the display environment variable export DISPLAY=ipaddress:0.0 with ip address but they also has faced the same error and itu2019s not resolved.
Please help me if there will be any other reason for this error, Thanks.
Thanks,

What key FI config & tables in an SAP installation a client-wide

Dear Experts,
I from an SAP Procurement background.
We are considering utlising an existing SAP installation/client to deploy and SAP in a entirely new legal entity, that is a subsidurairy of the group company.
What key SAP Finance objects in a client can we not change as this would impact others companies already deployed or cannot not be changed once set-up in a new client?
If we were to choose to simply copy the global template, deploy this in another client, but stil have the ability to conduct intercompany activities with the other group companies in the another client, what are the key elements that we must retain/keep in synch with the group SAP client?
I hope you are able to provide me a very high-level answer.
Thanks,
Sheena

Hi,
Most of financial configuration is company-code dependent. That is, when you want to add additional company code to your project, you can use copy funcitionality, and all the relevant FI configuration will be copied to your new company code. You should only consider the cross-company components, like EC and CO (assuming that you have only basic SAP modules, and not other ones like FM, SEM, etc.). There you have to define to yourself whether this new company will join under the same 'roof' of cross-company objects (Controlling area, etc.) or not.

Eli

Why do we need to install java during sap installation

why do we install Java during SAP installation?

Hello Satish,
Sapinst tool requires JRE for the running and as JRE cannot be integrated to sapinst due to licensing issues we need to install seprately java before sap installation.
Hope this clarifies your query.

TREX 7.0 & 7.1 SAP INSTALLATION GUIDE

Hello Techies,
Can any one Please Send me Trex 7.0 & 7.1 Sap Installation Guides. i dont have SMP accsess
Please send me with in a Hour if possible.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan

Hi
From service marketplace try downloading the TREX connectivity document for CRM and TREX 6.0 the steps are more or less the same for connectivty between CRM and TREX you need to install TREX in separate box followed by creating the RFC destination between crm and TREX at a time trex can be connected to one RFC destination only example CRM DEV with TREX or CRM QTY with TREX you cannot use TREX with QTY and DEV at the same time .
you also need to do the customiseing settings for enterprise intelligence in CRM5.0 spro settings and use crmc_saftool transaction code for the further settings you can also use TREXADMIN transaction code for the TREX http server queue server and index server logs to check after establishing the connectivity for useing TREX for CRM ABAP stack is required for TREX for EP you need to use java stack for connectivity between the systems
please do reward the points if helpful

AXI DB2 distributed sap systems and rsh

Hello,
we are running sap with aix 5.3 and db2 v9. our application server, central instance and database are running on different servers. Until now we are using rsh to start the distibuted systems. security colleagues asked us to change to ssh. we have seen, that it is possible to start db2 with ssh. but it is also possible in a distributed sap system to set rlogin=false and doesn't use rsh anymore?
thanks
alexander

Not sure what you are asking about - indeed, to use ssh for DB2 is of importance for DPF systems (i.e. BW-based SAP systems in multi-partition environments).
If you are asking how to enable ssh for starting SAP systems, then I guess the approach is to replace 'rlogin' by 'ssh' in your scripts. Of course, you need to ensure before that ssh is working as intended. E.g. if you expect the process to work without providing passwords, then you need to ensure that ssh can login without a password. You can find related information in the net e.g. searching with keywords
ssh automatic login
If all this does not help, or address your issue, please provide more exact information, e.g. the scripts you use.

SAP INSTALLATION ECC6 WINDOWS 2003 ORACLE ERROR

while on the process of sap installation we are getting the error at phase 33 ie.java users creation phase.the error as follows.
1.
ERROR: CJS-30197.for more details see o/p of log file.but we do know where is that file.
2.FCO-00011 The step createJSF with step key.
pls tell us how to proceed.Thanks in advance.

This is a known issue and the solution has been posted before in this forum. In short, you need to create the user manually in the backend system. Make sure to set the password for this user account to the same as you specified during "sapinst"

Question about SAP installation with Oracle 10g

I have successfully installed Oracle 10g on Windows server 2008 R2 64bit. I can connect to the database using mysql or through command prompt and run SQL commands.
I started installing the SAP EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ("51038620_13 BS 7 SR1 Installation Master Windows Server on x64 64bit") The installation goes very smooth. I choose the SAPSID and the DBSID sid, but then it gives an error stating to install oracle and continue or stop the installation & install Oracle. I have tried on continuing the installation since Oracle is already installed but I get the same message again and again.
Does it have to do with ORACLE 10g Sid. My Oracle SID is set to "ORCL" should it be the same as DBSID (during SAP Installation). Or the Oracle needs to be installed after SAP installation gets to the point for Oracle Installation. Please assist what needs to be changed. I can reinstall Oracle if needed. Any tips or comments would be nice.

> Does it have to do with ORACLE 10g Sid. My Oracle SID is set to "ORCL" should it be the same as DBSID (during SAP Installation). Or the Oracle needs to be installed after SAP installation gets to the point for Oracle Installation.
You can't "change". You installed the Oracle software using "setup.exe" - which is wrong. You also created an example database - which is also not correct.
The Oracle software is installed, according to the installation guide, as
- start "sapserver.cmd" on the Oracle DVD (the SAP media)
- install the software according to the installation guide
- install the latest patchset
- install the latest PSU patch
--> and then start sapinst.
