What procedures exist for change raw devices to filesystem?

What procedures exist for change raw devices to filesystem?
I understand that only you can:
- Backup Full (System with raw device) and Restore in System with Filesystem
- Export/Import
Specifically I want to know:
A backup (created in MaxDB 7.5 with DB in Rawdevices) can be restored on another System, with DB in file system??
Someone could give me details of the procedure?
Someone knows another method?
Greetings to all.

No problem as long as
- the target systems database version is at the same patchlevel (or higher)
- the target database is big enough
- the target system has the same endianess (you can e. g. not import a backup from Windows to HP-UX)
A SAPDB/MaxDB backup has no information about the source filesystem setup, it contains only pages. There has "just" to be enough space to restore them.

Urgent : OS Block header size (convert raw device to filesystem using dd)

Hi,
We need to convert oracle datafiles raw devices to filesystem.
Environment: Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 8.
Our unix team is unable to tell the value of os block header size to be used for skip/iseek parameter of "dd" command. I know that rman "copy datafile" can be used but it does not help for converting redo log files.
could someone please help.
Thanks.
Rakesh

DB has been shutdown, cold backups have been taken and cannot make any changes at this point.
Is it so tough to know this value ?
Just to clarify, in the following dd command, what should be the value of skip :
dd if=/dev/rdsk/rawfile1of=/data/file1 bs=8192 skip=??? count=100000
Thanks,
Rakesh

What tools exist for accessing DV timecode user bits?

Do tools exist for reading and writing instrument data to timecode user bits in a DV (Digital Video) file frames?
Thanks for any suggestions, John S.

Hello,
There is no direct way to see user and group broken permission within a site collection. However you can write powershell script to get the permission. You can modify the below script based on your need and export result in CSV. You may also need to add
code to iterate all subsites within site collection.

Codeplex tool is also available to check permission but it is not always fulfill business need. You may also look at this if it suits you.

Release procedure setup for changed Purchase orders

Hello All,
I have below scenario
1. After PR creation, it will be approved. and get converted to PO. At this time no need for approval (release) again. But once the same PO has been changed it should be subjected for release (approval). Can we have release strategy setup which will get trigger only when PO is changed.
2. Similarly, if PO is created without PR, then it should get subjected to release.
How can we configure the above business process in the SAP system?
Regards
Krishna Prasad

Hi,
Do you have version mangement active in your system for PO's . If you have then you can use the filed CEKKO - REVNO
Maintain the Character Value as > 0,
So any PO whose version number goes above 0 , the relase strategy will trigger.
If not, then first of all you have to configure Version Management.
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Set Up Version Management for External Purchasing Documents > Here activate Version Management for the PO Doc Types you want. Here activate the following indicators.
Version active
Version 0 OK
So whenever PO will get created the Version 0 will get activated automatically. And whenever you change PO, it will generate versions 1,2,3 and so on.
Now in PO Release Characteristics use Field CEKKO-REVNO
And in "Clasification", maintain value > 0 (Greater than Zero)
And then check in ME21N, release strategy will not be applicable but for ME22N, it will get applied.

is it possible to use /ydev for the RAW mount point *.If it's,is it afffect any existing applications at dev?*
please help me out that

All that is required from a system level are partitioned disks. Oracle will handle the configuration of the filesystem. Here are my steps to configure raw devices using LUNs:
--- PARTITION THE RAW VOLUMES ---
fdisk /dev/<disk>
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-512, default 1):<enter>
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or size or sizeM or +sizeK (1-512, default 512): >
Using default value 512
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.
--- BIND PARTITIONS TO RAW DEVICES ---
Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules and add:
# Define mapping of SCSI hard disks for Oracle Raw Devices
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdg1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdj1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %N"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sdk1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw3 %N"
# Define persistent raw device permissions
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="raw*", OWNER=="oracle", GROUP=="dba", MODE=="0660"
--- CREATE THE RAW DEVICES ---
/sbin/start_udev
--- VERIFY RAW DEVICES ---
raw -qa
2. Update permissions of new devices
chown -R oracle:dba /dev/<disks>
3. Create links to device on /dev/oracle
# DETERMINE SCSI LINKS TO DEVICES
clear ; ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep sd[f-v]1 | awk '{print $11,$9}'| sort
# CREATE VOLUME MEMBER SYMBOLIC LINKS. DONE!

Reg. User exist for G/L account change

Dear Experts
I want to create new contion or user exist for change the G/L account from consumption account to
stock account.
That is when I create purchase order with account assignment the stock account should be assigned instead of consuption account.
Without any account assignment mean no problem,that accounts are posted correctly.Stock account and GR/IR account.
Thanks
Rajakumar.k

While create Purchase order.
If Acct assignment E - Stock account - depending on the material type
Acct assignment and item cat. E & L WIP of material
Like the above.
while I create purchase order the consumption account is posted and after enter the sale order
the G/L for consumption is changed to stock account. I can see the changes directly.
Thanks

SAPINST : Error CJS-00091 with raw devices on AIX 5.2

Dear all,
I am trying to install a Web Application Server Java 6.40 SR1 on AIX/Oracle but get the following error due to the fact that I opted for a raw-device installation.
> CJS-00091 Unable to create the tablespaces.
> DIAGNOSIS: There is not enough free disk space:
>
> Mount point | space required | space available | SAPDATA directories
> /oracle/DEP | 2805 | 933.887 | 1,2,4
>
> SOLUTION: Make more disk space available.
You will probably tell me that an OSS note exists and that I should adapt the 'control.xml' within the installation directory but that's not the point. This problem was probably present in older releases but is now corrected with the Support Release 1 (SR1) of Netweaver '04
In fact, I don't understand why SAPINST still tries to work with the classical "SAPDATA" structure as it should now work with the "SAPRAW" directory only (See OSS Note 145654). This "SAPRAW" directory is only containing links refering to the raw devices SAPINST should use.
Here's what I've got :
> ls -la sapra*

And here's the "SAPDATA" structure SAPINST wrongly created

Any idea, what the problem is?
I presume the installation script contains some bugs when working with raw devices but would like to know whether someone already experienced this...
Many thanks for your help,
Xavier Vermaut

Hello Arun,
Maybe I am wrong but I think you did not understand what was the problem...
When using 'raw devices', SAPINST shouldn't use the classical SAPDATA directory structure but should only create links into the 'SAPRAW' directory.
So, SAPDATA directories should not exist! Only links (refering to the raw devices to be used) within the SAPRAW directory should be present!
In the meantime, I got this problem solved by SAP. They temporarily modified my 'keydb.xml' file to get this fixed but they should release an appropriate correction within a few days. This way of doing (I mean modifying the 'keydb.xml') is only applicable to my system...
Cheers,
Xavier

OPS/RAC Vs Raw Device/File System

Hello, firts to all, I want to know what is OPS/RAC and Raw Device/File System.
And then know the diferens between both.
I apologize for my english.
Thanks.

OPS is Oracle parallel server was available up to Oracle 8i and RAC is Real application cluster is available from Oracle 9i.
Raw device is just presenting the disk to server and using it. File system is presenting disk more transparent and managable form using OS or third party software.
You need to refer respective documents to know them in detail.

How use raw device in linux?

Hi all.
scene:
oracle 8.1.6.1
Linux red hat 6.1
I'm trying to create a database with raw device.
In HPux the raw device is /dev/rdsk but I found no documentation for linux raw device.
thanks for any help.
null

Prove it: try to create file large than 2Gb on 8.1.6 under Linux (under NT it works) and try to use raw partitions. About Pmon ORA-601 simply check Metalink.
I know Oracle, it is my work. I like Oracle database. I think, Linux is the best OS. But i want Oracle to solve current bugs more quickly, for a customers could not say "Oracle on Linux - it ***** ". Because, customers must to know about problems to avoid it. It is a more biger problem, when database is crashed.

ASM support BLOCK raw device?

Does ASM support for BLOCK raw device? or only there is support for CHARACTER raw device?
Or it is specific to UNIX platforms?
Thanks.

790066 wrote:
Does ASM support for BLOCK raw device? or only there is support for CHARACTER raw device?As I understand, ASM needs to be able to open a device using the direct I/O call kernel interface. Old style block devices do not have that, thus the need for raw char devices (on top of a block device) to provide the required direct I/O interface.
But raw devices have been depreciated by the Linux kernel and Oracle also has support notes stating the same. The kernel now supports opening a block device with the O_DIRECT flag set.
Offhand though, I do not see a problem using a device in ASM as long as ASM has access to it (permissions okay, discovery string set) and the device can be successfully opened via the I/O calls made by ASM.
You need to select the most appropriate device interface (if a device has multiple) for ASM to use. I'll expect that ASM notes/installation details from Oracle for that specific o/s will have the details needed to make that decision.
Or it is specific to UNIX platforms?Do not use anything else but Linux for many years now, so cannot comment on how this works/looks like on Unix flavours like Solaris and HP-UX and others.
