What MS SQL version for SAP ECC 6.0?

Hi,
we are preparing ourselves to move away from SAP R/3 & MS SQL 2000 to SAP ECC 6.0 and a new SQL platform.
From what I found, it runs on SAP_BASIS 7.0 - so both SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 are supported.
I was wondering, however, what SQL version do I need - would SAP ECC 6.0 run on Standard or does it require Enterprise Edition of SQL server?
Many thanks
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
you should always use the SQL EE for SAP installations (because of additional features that only come with EE).
Concerning SQL 9 or SQL 10, I would definitely go for SQL 10. It has some nice features like Backup Compression, Page/Row Compression and so on. Have a look [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60a236a2-8104-2b10-5ebe-8fef61cc82fd]. Just make sure that your installation meets the SR3 requirements.
We already have SQL 10 in production and did not encounter any problems.
Regards,
Sven

  • Sql Server configuration requirements for SAP ECC 6.0

    Dear  All,
    I am using Sql server 2005 Enterprise as data store for Sap ecc 6.0.There are certain configuration requirements to be done while installing it so that sapinst.exe (sap installer) is able to use it to create its own DB's.
    For eg it requires a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 whereas the default that gets installed is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
    Like this there are other requirements which I am not aware of.Most of the docs available on the Internet are talking of ecc 6.0  with Oracle 10.2G which is the most common combination.I am having docs for this combination.
    I am installing ecc for the first time.
    *I am unable to download docs from sap. marketplace as it requires a login given to certified users or sap purchasers.I am neither.*
    Can anyone help me with this.If anyone has ECC 6.0 installation guide with sql server it will be serve my purpose.
    Thanks for your efforts.

    "Excuse me?
    What he is doing is illegal , you know what that means, right? If you don't believe me, read the license that comes on the first installation DVD.
    Actually, I even think it's kind of barefaced to ask in the forum of the software vendor for help! I mean, it's like asking in a bank forum how to rob and fraud the bank! You - and many others - may think that it's right and ok to do that. I tell you: it is not. Not for "home use", not for personal use, not at all.
    You can use the software available here in the SDN to lean and study, that's why it's there.
    If you deal at all with copied software, then just be smart enough to make other people not notice. He can be happy if he's not prosecuted (which would legally be possible)."
    Do u understand what is legal or illegal? Have u read the license in full?
    The license does not put any limit on the number of users.So if I am using it means that one more user has been added by the license holder.
    Therefore there is nothing illegal about it.
    It would have unethical (not illegal) if the software is being used for a business purpose other than for which it has been purchased.
    Since it being used for training purpose the above does not hold good.
    In fact it is SAP who is benefited in the long run bec' after a person learns it technology because  he is going to implement it somewhere, for which the concerned user will have to purchase a license.Therefore I am helping SAP to increase its business.
    But there are some stupid people who don't understand these things but are ready to shout at the top of their voice thinking themselves to be intelligent.

  • Reg: Replacing i-way with PI for SAP ECC 6.0 version

    Hello Experts
    currently we are using R/3 4.7 version and middle ware we are using is i-way and we are planning to upgrade to ECC 6.0 and i would like to know how compatible is i-way is with SAP ECC 6.0 and is there any neccessity to replace the same with PI.
    and currently we are using RFC as a method of communication between R/3 and i-way and in future i don't want to change the existing coding , is it feasible to use PI via RFC.
    As i am ABAPer, i am new to this PI and please let me the know the risks involved and it is viability.

  • CA Autosys Setup for SAP ECC 6.0

    Hi all,
    Apparently, we are upgrading our SAP version to SAP ECC 6.0, where we will need to establish a connection between Unix system and SAP application system (ECC 6.0).
    In order to bridge between Unix and SAP ECC 6.0, we have installed CA Autosys adapter for SAP (Unix version) in the Unix server, as of job schedular purpose. Meanwhile, the following are the softwares that we are using to test the connection as well:
    a) SSH Tectia Client
    b) Reflection X version 14.0 + Service Pack 6 (Evaluation version)
    We have installed both three apps (Autosys, SSH Tectia Client, and Reflection X), however, we experienced the following difficulties when test the Autosys and SAP ECC6 integration:
    i) performance issue when we establish a connection between Unix and SAP ECC 6.0 (do we need to re-config in SAP system? if yes, pls can you guide me where I can tune the system?).
    ii) Error message when running command 'sapjob':
       $ sapjob
       %CASAP_E_998 Required SAP shared library <librfccm> not found in library path.
       ld.so.1: sapjob: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/CA/CAlib/libpig.so: symbol caenf_cmd: referenced symbol not found

    Do you guys have any suggestion on what is happening on the above?
    Thanks in advance.

    > Please can you show me how I can perform this, in order to resolve their names back and forward? Is there any possible rootcause on performance issue?
    This depends on the setup of the system. Both systems must be able to find their names by executing
    nslookup <ip-addresse>
    or
    host <ip-addresse>
    If that is not the case, the connection initialization will wait until the DNS is timing out.

  • Disaster Recovery For SAP ECC 6.0 On Oracle

    Hi All,
    This is our infrastructure
    Windows 2003 Server
    SAP ECC 6.0
    Oracle 10
    Legato Networker Client / Library
    Actually our Backup Strategy is to do an Online Backup Every Night from monday to saturday. We want to test our backup by doing a Restore. We are assuming a complete loss of the system including hardware.
    What we do:
    1. Install the SAP System on a new host with the same hardware characteristic of the source system.
    2. Install & Configure the legato utility.
    3. Copy the E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\ directory from the source system to the test system.
    4. Them we put the database in mount mode.
    5. Execute the command: brrestore -b bdyxwoqv.fnf -m full  (bdyxwoqv.fnf-> Full Online Backup that was executed without problems).
    It gives the following errors:
    BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA2\SR3_10\SR3.DATA10' reported as not found by
    backup utility
    BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA3\SR3700_9\SR3700.DATA9' reported as not foun

    rdyybrzp.lst -t file -p E:\oracle\MIS\102\database\initMIS.utl': 2
    BR0374E 0 of 63 files restored by backup utility
    BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19

    BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
    BR0404I BRRESTORE terminated with errors
    Since this is a new SAP system it never will find the SAPDATA files because they where on the source system and this is a new test system.
    We found the following note:
    96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on Oracle
    But this note is for SAP R/3 no for SAP ECC!
    It explain that you have to install your SAP system with the System Copy Method (is this the only way??).
    2.) Installation of the R/3 System
    The installation of SAP software contains the software installation of the database. The initial SAP database should be created again but the SAP data should not be loaded.
    Install the SAP system with the Oracle-specific system copy method, which is based on backup/restore. This method is described in the system copy guide for your Product/Release. Refer to Note 659509 for products that are based on Web AS.
    3.) Modification of the installation
    Above all, you must take into account the mounted file systems at the time of the loss. If necessary create new SAPDATA directories (mount points). These generally identify a disk or a logical storage area (logical volume).
    Are we working in the right way? maybe there is a formal procedure to do a Restore from an Online backup when you complete loss your system.
    Please some tips.
    Best Regards,
    Erick Ilarraza

    Hi Eric,
    Thanks a lot for your reply, I will follow the Note 96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on ORACLE point 5.
    5.) Restore profile and log files, as you sayed in case of disaster we will lost our "source" system.
    On the other hand to configure the legato client we take care of the name of the server, we configured the .sap, .cfg and .utl files so in theory the restore will be done on the new test system since we run the brrestore command from that system.
    Officially there is not a documentation from SAP to do a Restore from a Online Backup with SAP ECC, SAP Netweaver (ABAP / ABAP + Java). You only have the 96848 note??? I found the following information:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/65/cade3bd0c8545ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    But there is not a official procedure like a System Copy Guide or Installation Guide.
    Best Regards,

  • License Key Request from SOLMAN VS SMP for SAP ECC 6.0 EPH4 IDES install

    Hi, SDN fellows.
    I have some doubt on the right way/options to request License Key for SAP ECC 6.0 EPH4 IDES.
    Previously, I read that the only way to get license key is to generate it through SAP Solution Manager. If this is the only way, we will have to install Solution Manager just to generate the license  key (we are currently don't have SolMan running in our landscape).
    I also read that I can request license key through http://service.sap.com/licensekey. I checked the link and see that we have the 10 digits installation number for Product: SAP ERP.. Currently there is no system defined for this installation number.
    I went through the first two screens, seems like they have options for SAP ERP 6 --> IDES.
    If I can get a license key from http://service.sap.com/licensekey, do I still need to install Sol. Man. to generate the license key?
    What are the difference the license key generated from Sol. Man. VS the one we request from SMP?
    Thanks,
    KC

    Hi, Vishnu.
    So, now I understand I need two keys: Solution Key and also License key.
    I should obtain Solman key before I start installation , as the SAPinst will ask to enter Solman key before it can proceed to install SAP ECC IDES.
    You said I can obtain Solman key through OSS note. I went in to SMP just now. Navigated to Help& Support --> Report a Product Error --> New Problem Solving Request.
    I selected Customer Number, Product, Instillation # , and enter  * for  System ID. The search result returned no system found. The problem here is we don't really have any system ID defined for SAP ERP IDES since we haven't start installing the system.
    Is that true that I will only see the System ID in OSS Message interface when I submit the System ID for the license key?
    I thought this is a post-installation step to apply for a license key. If I can to do it before the installation, how can I get the 11 character hardware key before installation (assuming I cannot run the SLICENSE TCode and saplikey u2013get command)?
    OR how can I create OSS message to request SolMan key when I don't have a system ID (that already registered for license key) in SMP?
    OR I should just go ahead to install Solution Manager to generate Solman key (during pre-installation), and request for license key in SMP in post-installation?
    Thanks for advise,
    KC

  • File system for SAP ECC, EP , BI and CRM installation on Solaris/DB2

    Hello,
    We are going to implement SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7, BI and CRM on Solaris operating system with IBM DB2 database.
    All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
    But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
    Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    If anyone able to help me with required Solaris file system. it will be great help.
    Please let me know if there is any query.
    Thanks.

    > All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
    > But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
    Why not using Solaris zones/container? This decreases the administrative amount tremendeously since you will deal as with "single machines" but they all run together on one box.
    > Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    So you'd need to read the installation guides

  • List of Components for SAP ECC 6. 0 EHP4 NW 7.01

    Hi Experts,
    How to find the list of components for SAP ECC 6. 0 EHP 4 NW 7.01.
    Regards,
    IFF

    Hi,
    Two ways I could think of:
    - Best would be goto http://service.sap.com/pam -> search for ERP 2005 EhP5 and check in the "Included components for <technical usage>" section. For this you would need to know the scenario for which you need ERP 2005 EhP4
    - If a solution manager is available, goto tcode SMSY -> Product Definitions -> SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE and select EhP4.
