What is the rule about installing SQL server 2000

I'm a bit confused if which of the two is the best that i can  do:
1. install MS SQL 2000 to R/3 Apllication Box per box
or
2. install MS SQL 2000 in 1 box and link the r/3 Applications form it?
im using SAP 4.6.c. I dont know what should i do... is it REALLY required that the MSSQL 2000 be installed per box (DEV, PRD, DB, etc.)?

Hi Michael,
it is possible to have just one DB server with different DBs (DEV, QAS, PRD) on it. You have to decide if you install your DBs in one instance of SQL Server or if you install named instances - e.g. one instance for DEV, one instance for QAS and so on. If you have all DBs in one instance they all share the same ressources like processors, buffers etc. That means that your possibilities to tune such a system are limited. Also if you have to stop the instance (e.g. for Support Packages or patches) all SAP Systems are not available. 
On a box with named instances you can distribute the server ressources among those instances. For example the DEV instance gets 512 MB of RAM and may use 2 processors. The PRD instance gets 2 GB of RAM and may use 6 processors. You can stop and patch each instance individually.
But if I understand your post correctly you work in an 32 Bit environment. In such a case I would never recommend putting PRD with DEV and QAS on one database server. For DEV and QAS a Cental System (SQL Server and SAP on the same server) is usually the right choice. For production you might want to install the Database Instance on a separate server and the Central Instance on a separate server. For scalability reasons you can then add as many Dialog Instances as necessary.
But always keep in mind, you only have ONE Database Instance per SAP system! You can install many Dialog Instances connected to that Database Instance. That means your database is the 'heart' of you SAP system and should be treated that way.

Sven

  • What is the latest version of SQL Server which ColdFusion 7 supports?

    What is the latest version of SQL Server which ColdFusion 7 supports? For example can Cold Fusion 7 connect to SQL Server 2012 or 2008 without any problem? Thanks

    First things first, I would advise you to apply the upgrades, if you haven't yet done so. I remember Coldfusion MX7 to be quite buggy. We could not wait to apply the upgrades and hotfixes. Version MX7.0.2 turned out to be the lasting upgrade. We used MySQL, however, not SQL Server.
    You can get the information you want from Adobe Support. But you can think it through yourself. The way I think about it is as follows.
    Coldfusion is an application that includes database functionality. I may therefore assume that Coldusion would be backwardly compatible in its support of database server versions. In other words, a new version of Coldfusion, say 9 or 10, would work with an older database server like SQL Server 2005.
    However, I would not expect a previous version of Coldfusion, say MX7, to be compatible with newer database server versions like SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012. Even if someone told me they were compatible, I would still expect such a set-up to be an accident waiting to happen.

  • What are the rules about switching versions?

    I thought projects created in iMovie 9 showed up in iMovie 10, but I just tried creating a new project in iMovie 9 this morning and it is not showing up in iMovie 10, even though I see projects from 2013 and before in there.
    Also, what are the rules about switching versions? I know iMovie 9 much better, so can I start a project there and finish it in iMovie 10? I would like to gradually learn iMovie 10, but not all at once.
    I assume that once a project is edited in iMovie 10, it can't be worked on in iMovie 9 anymore.

    You have to update iMovie 9 projects to iMovie 10 from within iMovie 10 before they will appear in iMovie 10 as iMovie 10 uses a completely different project/event file system.  After updating you can still work on projects in iMovie 9 but you won't see any changes made in iMovie 10 and you can't transfer them back. 
    I would have a good look at the iMovie 10 help files first since a lot is changed and some features have been discontinued that might be important to you.
    In order to try out iMovie 10 on just one of your iMovie 9 projects, put the folders just for that project in a separate iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folder and hide the project and event folders containing the projects you don't want to update from iMovie 10 by enclosing them in a higher level folder (only projects and events folders in the Movies folder of the boot drive or at the root level of another drive or partition will be visible to iMovie).
    I did it this way and I'm glad I didn't try to update evrything at once!

    Hi,

We even completed rebuild OS and install again got the same error message. Very frustration! Realizing the installation has NOT even get to SAP part yet, but any of you see this kind error message when you install SQL Server? How do you fix it?

    Not sure I understand what you are asking. But to answer your question, No, I did not install any software on my desktop. I am logon to the server remotely to install SQL Server 2000.

    Its Have Windows Vista Home Premium.
    And I am unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005.
    I also Unable to Install Windows XP SP2.
    Problem is SATA driver.
    Plz Help me ...!
    Response me

    Hi
    The Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install it on the notebook with SATA HDD controller.
    The SATA driver can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.
    I would recommend using the nLite program to include a SATA driver into the new Windows XP CD and then to boot from the new created XP CD.
    Here you will find all details regarding the nLite:

    Regarding SQL server issue;
    Maybe you will be able to install in on Windows XP. Possibly there is a compatibility issue between the Vista and the SQL server software

  • Problem of loading the Driver of MS SQL Server 2000

    Is there anyone in the Sun Forum who will help me?
    I have already tried to give the full class path of .jar files to the System and User Variables but received the same error. I am doing BCA and developing my very first Project on Java.
    Please, tell me one thing. When I had installed MS SQL Server 2000 at my system first time then the 3 JAR files were present in the lib folder and all my codings of connectivity were working properly. Then due to some reasons, I had to format C drive and installed the MS SQL Server 2000 again then in the lib folder the 3 JAR files were not there. How it has happened? Then, I installed the downloaded driver of MS SQL Server 2000 for JDBC 1.4 then the JAR files were installed in the related downloaded driver folder. I manually copied them to the lib folder of MS SQL Server and gave that path to the Classpath of System and User Variables, but it didn't work.
    I am not understanding the reason that The Software which worked previously is not working correctly in second time of installing.
    I am using command line to develop my stand-alone project. Please help me.

    I have really no idea what in earth "the same error" is which you're talking about. Be specific. Post the exception type, message and stacktrace.

  • Installing SQL server with local Admin rights

    Dear DB experts
    I have a concern about installing SQL server 2000 on win 2003 with out local admin rights

    Hi Syed_R,
    SQL Server 2000 was out of support in SQL Server Forums since April,2013. You can install SQL Server 2005 or later version and more experts will assist you.
    As other post, the user that runs the SQL Server installer must have Admin rights on the server when installing. For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account
    that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.
    In addition, in preparation for setting up Microsoft SQL Server on this system, you add the Setup account to the local administrators group, also the Setup account need to have certain user rights for avoiding SQL Server installation fails. Such as Local
    Policy Object Display Name, Backup files and directories and so on.
    For more information, you can review the following article.

  • When installing SQL Server is there a benefit to overriding the defaults for the Shared Feature Directory?

    When installing SQL Server under feature selection you are given the option to change the Shared feature directories. When you choose to change from the default OS drive it seems that the installation
    process still installs a large amount of files on the OS drive and then additional files under a similar drive structure on the alternative drive. Is there any real benefit to changing the default location?
    Additional is there benefit to changing the default location for the installed features, database engine etc. We are trying to create some clean templates that we can bring up in our production
    environment so we are provisioning separate drives for data, logs, backups, tempdbs but as we use the prepare image it seems like splitting the installation of sql server into two separate locations to safe minimally on file space seems counterproductive.
    I have searched for best practices and this area seems glossed over in most articles, I found a few that indicate later installation of features on a machine that use a non-standard shared component
    drive has caused issues. I would like to know there are  benefits to taking such actions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dirk

    Hello,
    The best reason I can think about installing SQL Server binaries on another drive different than the system drive is the
    fact the page file (pagefile.sys) is located on the system drive by default. The more I/O I can prevent happening on that drive the better for the performance of operating system.
    SQL Server still installs some binaries on the system drive anyway, and creating a partition for SQL Server binaries alone
    may seem like a waste.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1

    Apologies if this is not the right place or this has been posted before (I looked and didn't find anything)
    I am unable to install SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDb on Windows 8.1 Update 1, as I get an 'Operating System not Supported' error message right away.
    What can I do to get this working?

    Hi Zgreve,
    Usually, from
    hardware and software requirements for installing SQL Server 2014, we can install SQL Server Express version on the Windows 8.1. For more information, see:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express.
     Before you install SQL Server 2014 Express version, you should ensure installing the .NET Framework 4, then run as administrator for the SQL Server setup.exe again.
     There is a similar detail about install SQL Server Express LocalDB via GUI and command line. You can also review the following steps.
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2694/getting-started-with-sql-server-2012-express-localdb/
    If the same error about OS still exists,  I recommend you submitting a feedback to Microsoft such issues at
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback, Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you can learn more about and contribute to the
    exciting projects on Microsoft Connect.

  • MOF Syntax Error Installing SQL Server 2014 Express

    I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 Express With Tools on a fully updated Win 8.1 system having already installed Visual Studio Community 2013 with Update 4. During the installation of SQL Server, I am getting a "MOF Syntax Error".
    I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2387686 on the web but I can't see that that applies to me as I would have thought that any suggested fixes from this article would have been already installed
    or corrected in Win 8.1 or SQL Server 2014. Neither do I know what fix I should install anyway.
    An entry on this forum suggested that running Winmgmt /salvagerepository command fixed the problem. I ran the command in the Command Prompt and a /verifyrepository said it was consistent. However, the error still occurred when I installed SQL Server.
    Can anyone help with this?

    Hi wagham,
    From your description, you encounter the error when installing SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows 8.1. For further analysis, please help to post the summary and detail logs which locate under 
    %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\Log. For more details about viewing SQL Server setup log files, you can refer to this
    article.
    Additionally, based on my research, “MOF Syntax Error” could be caused by various reasons, such as insufficient account permissions, corrupted .NET Framework and so on. There are some proposals for you installing SQL Server 2014 Express as follows.
    1. Make sure that the account you use to install SQL Server has admin rights. If you are using a domain administrator, please ensure that it is added to local administrator group.
    2. Make sure that you right-click the SQL Server setup file (setup.exe) and choose “Run as administrator” to complete the installation.
    3. Check that if the .NET Framework is corrupted on your system. You can verify the installation state of the .NET Framework via the
    .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool. If the .NET Framework is corrupted, please
    repair it using
    .NET Framework Repair Tool, then reinstall SQL Server.
    Here is a similar blog about “MOF Syntax Error” for your reference.
