Windows Central Instance ABAP+JAVA plus UNIX ABAP dialog instances ?

Hi everybody,
we are an SAP software partner and provide SAP complementary software on UNIX and Windows platforms.
Part of our software (a gateway) needs to be installed on the SAP application server.
In order to setup a cross-platform test environment for our developers, I was thinking about extending the existing SAP ERP 6.0 Windows-based Central Instance (IDES, Oracle, usage types ABAP+JAVA) by multiple ABAP dialog instances which run on different UNIX flavours (Solaris, AIX, Linux).
I searched the SAP Notes and found nothing which could confirm my plans, as this is quite an unusual setup and heterogenous systems are usually the other way round (CI on UNIX, DI on Windows).
SAP Note 1067221 however mentions that DIs on different OS platforms are only partly supported, but it seems this is only valid for JAVA DIs?
As I need only ABAP DIs, I hope my plans are fine?
Many thanks for your feedback

Well - what is "usual" depends on the requirements
It's possible to do that. Technically there's no difference whether an application server is Unix or Windows based.
There are, however, a few things to take care of:
- if your system is non-Unicode, sorting algorithms are different on different platforms. Unicode systems use ICU which is cross-platform
- if you want to automatically distribute your kernel on system start you will need to create a "share" on the Windows machine and make it accessible from  the various other platforms. You can, however, ensure "manually", that you use the same kernel patchlevels on all systems, then this is not needed
- Windows is LittleEndian whereas most Unix systems are BigEndian, depending on if you exchange data between those systems (means, binary data, files through NFS) the programs must be aware of the fact, that a file can be either LE or BE.

  • ADS in the Java stack of a Dialog instance on Windows + CI on iSeries

    Hi,
    I read the document "Using Adobe Document Services with SAP on IBM DB2 for i5/OS".
    Summary of the document -
    There are two possible technical scenarios:
    1. ADS in the Java stack of a Dialog instance on Windows
    1.1. ABAP+Java dialog instance on Windows
    1.2. Java dialog instance on Windows
    2. ADS in a SAP system on a supported platform
    2.1. ABAP+Java central instance on Windows/Unix
    2.2. Java central instance on Windows/Unix
    The document recomammeds technical scenario 1, that is, install a Windows Dialog instance.
    Choosing an ABAP+Java or Java system depends on the usage scenario for Interactive Forms:
    - Interactive PDF use: Java mandatory, ABAP+Java possible
    - Interactive use in SAP Maanger Self_Services/batching of forms:
    ABAP+Java mandatory but Note 993612 describes the status for NW04s SP12 onwards.
    End of summary -
    Our prefered rechnical scenario is: "1.2. Java dialog instance on Windows" to minimice resources.
    Our usage scenario for Interactive Forms includes "SAP Manager Self- Services".
    Our interpretation of note 993612 is that we do not need double stack installation. Could you confirnm this ?.
    If yes, we are going to install a Java Dialog instance on Windows connected to our Java Central instance on iSeries (our SAP Portal system) to use ADS.
    Best regards.

    Hello Torrell,
    your statements sound reasonable, also including SAP Note 993612.
    To decide, though, whether a single stack would be enough (especially based on the aforementioned note), you will need the advise of an ADS application expert (or someone else who has implemented your scenario, independent of the platform).
    I thus assume that you will not get an answer in this forum. Your question is ADS application specific.
    When you know for sure that a single stack will be enough, your approach to use a Windows dialog instance will be fine.
    Best regards, Barbara

  • Abap+ java stack or Abap stack

    Hi All,
    How to know whether a system is  ABAP+ JAVA   stack or  JAVA stack.
    In our system   EP6.0  which is JAVA  stack  holds JC00 which is a  java instance direcory. In BW system we have SCS20 and Dvebg...00 directories is it ABAP+ JAVA stack  or  ABAP stack with J2ee engine services.
    Please suggest me...
    Thanks,
    Subhash.G

    In the forder structuer usr\sap\<SID> if you have DVEBMGS<XX> then it's ABAP and if it's JC<XX>, then it's JAVA. Also if under DVEBMGS<XX> you have j2ee and SDM folder then it's a dual stack that is both ABAP and JAVA.
    As for the URL if it's a dual stack then using the browser use the user j2ee_admin and the specified password, else if it is only java then use administrator user and the specified password.
    If it's a dual stack you can also login using sapgui.
    If in case its single stack AS_ABAP
    THere will one be a single node i.e. no message server and enque server. The folder stur would be /usr./sap/<SID>/ and tou would find
    DVEBMG SYS folders only.
    IF in case its single stack Java server then
    In mmc. you will find, 2 nodes one for message server, enque server and the other for the SDM, dispatcher and server0
    the foder struct would be
    /usr/sap/<SID?
    JC><CIno> SCS<no>
    Now in case if you have double stack i.e. AS-java and AS-ABAP you would will find these things in mmc
    Message server and enque server
    disp+work, message server and wp
    the folder struct would be
    /usr/sap/<SID>/
    DVEBMG<no> SCS<no>

  • Web Dispatcher configuration (ABAP+Java vs. ABAP+Portal)

    We are using an internal Web Dispatcher to allow the connections from different networks.
    This Webdispatcher entry we add to WAS configuration within Portal system object
    By defintion of ABAP+Java double stack we do not have any problems and the test
    http://webpispatcher:port/sap/bc/ping is successful.
    When we have a ABAP system + Portal (Java) we only can test the connection
    http://webpispatcher:port/
    When we execute the test
    http://webpispatcher:port/sap/bc/ping we get an error, because the url goes to Java stack.
    We also detected that on Web Dispatcher configuration for ABAP+Java we have ABAP and J2EE server groups and  application servers.
    For ABAP+Portal we have only J2EE groups on Web Dispatcher configuration.
    Question:
    Which SAP parameter (e.g. ms/server_port_0, icm/HTTP/j2ee_0) or Web Dispatcher parameter (ms/http_port) is responsible for generation of ABAP groups (e.g. PUBLIC) within Web Dispatcher?

    Which SAP parameter (e.g. ms/server_port_0, icm/HTTP/j2ee_0) or Web Dispatcher parameter (ms/http_port) is responsible for generation of ABAP groups (e.g. PUBLIC) within Web Dispatcher?
    In ABAP the logon group is handled by the ICF. In SICF you specify within the actual services(properties) which logon group that service should use for load balancing. As far as I remember though there is an exception if you are using an "end-to-end" ssl configuration where you can specify the destination logon group using wdisp/HTTPS/dest_logon_group parameter.
    rdisp/mshost is the parameter on your web dispatcher that points to your message server to get a list of available logon groups.

    Hi Sunny,
    Thanks for you comments.
    What's about the conecctions between JAVA-->ABAP and with development are these assigned to my SID:NWD?
    Can I install another JAVA instance and after remove JAVA from instance ABAP+JAVA?
    Development team only give me one or two days for it they don't want loose time in develop.
    Do you have any links to these document?

    [Bootstrap module]> Problem occurred while performing synchronization.
    Any thoughts on what I can do (without having to re-install the dialog instance) to fix this?

    Hi,
    I hope this helps you, my Basis team came up with the same problem. It is because of the JDBC driver that SR3 uses seems to be wrong. This is a slightly subtle problem and it took me a while to find.
    - Open configtool
    - Go to instance --> dispatcher --> Configuration Manager --> Local Properties --> rdbms.driverLocation
    - Change it to C:\usr\sap\SMB\DVEBMGS00\exe\mssjdbc\sqljdbc.jar (or similar)
    - Go to instance > server> Configuration Manager --> Local Properties --> rdbms.driverLocation
    - Change it to C:\usr\sap\SMB\DVEBMGS00\exe\mssjdbc\sqljdbc.jar (or similar)
    On my system it was set to C:\usr\sap\SMB\DVEBMGS00\exe\mssjdbc\base.jar;C:\usr\sap\SMB\DVEBMGS00\exe\mssjdbc\util.jar;C:\usr\sap\SMB\DVEBMGS00\exe\mssjdbc\sqlserver.jar;C:\usr\sap\SMB\DVEBMGS00\exe\mssjdbc\spy.jar which is the old school SQL Server driver.
    Once you have changed these settings, save, exit configtool and restart the whole cluster. It will then start.

  • ABAP or ABAP+JAVA in Solman Installation?

    Hi,
    We are going to implement Solution Manager 7 (SR3).
    1. I would like to ask whats the best installation variant in installing solution manager? (ABAP or ABAP+ JAVA)
    2. What are the additional capabilities of SolMan if we install ABAP+JAVA and not ABAP only?
    We are planning on using solution manager for:
    - Central Administration
    - Change request management
    - Root Cause Analysis
    - Delivery of SAP support service
    Thanks,
    Roel

    Dear
    Solution Manager has to have ABAP+JAVA stack so your choice is easy.
    Solution Manager Java Stack offers additional functionality as well as tools.
    For example Solution Manager Diagnostics.
    Kind regards

  • ABAP+Java Kernel and only Java Kernel

    Hi Friends,
    Is there any difference in ABAP+Java Kernel and only Java Kernel?
    Can we use the kernel for above both from the same location as below?
    1#
    Support Packages and Patches> Additional Components> SAP Kernel> SAP KERNEL 64-BIT UNICODE> SAP KERNEL 6.40 64-BIT UNICODE
    Following Files
    DB Dependent  - ORACLE
              SAPEXEDB_175-20000227.SAR
              DBATL640O92_44-20000227.SAR
    Database Independent
              SAPEXE_175-20000226.SAR
    Assuming above SAR files contain R3trans, R3load, tp ,... also.
    2#
    As per my knowledge SAP has given one more path to download J2EE SP's which contains Kernel and J2EE Support Packages.
    http://service.sap.com/patches --> Support Package and Patches -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver 04 -> Entry by Component -> Application Server Java -> SAP J2EE Engine 6.40 -> J2EERT19_0-10001982.SAR/J2EERT20_0-10001982.SAR (OS Independent) and CTRLDB219_0-20000114.SAR(OS Dendependent)
    What is the difference between above two kernels?
    1# contains R3trans, R3load, tp ...etc which is exclusively used by ABAP Stack related functions. The startsap script used here would check R3trans -d authentication successful before starting database and then only it starts the database from sidadm. I observed OPS$ users available in only ABAP schema SAPSID but not available in SAPSIDDB. If I use the kernel downloaded from 1# for Java Stack only system, startsap would fail as R3trans authentication fail as there is no ABAP schema in Java systems.
    This applies well for ABAP+JAVA or only ABAP based systems.
    If I use only JAVA Stack based system can I use the kernel downloaded from 1# . What is the kernel and SP available in 2#? Is this also contains the same kernel given in 1# or it is different. I also observed in JAVA they are not calling Kernels by Patch No like 154, 175... they call it by SP19. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Did anyone come accross this type if issue? I would appreciate if anyone can clarify my questions given above.
    My main target is to have clear strategy for ABAP+JAVA, ABAP, JAVA kernels to avoid mess up. Which one to download? What is best practice? Differences?
    Thanks and Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Sacha,
    Thank a lot for your answer I am clear now. Before rewarding points to you.
    I have final question.
    You mean that there is not seperate kernel for Java Stack Systems.. When we apply SP11 or SP19 by default it applies Kernel and also support packages w.r.t the SP. Do we have option to seperate Kernel and Support package while applying SP's for Java System?
    If we take for example SAP NW 2004 (WAS 640) latest kernel is 175 (I mean ABAP+JAVA). If I want to know the latest kernel for Java Stack system, Do I need to say it is at level SP19 or check the sapwebdisp -V (Resepctive patch level)?
    For ABAP system we check disp+work -V to get the source kernel version. How to justify the source kernel version for Java System?
    As per SAP Note: 710914 - Upgrading the J2EE Engine Startup Framework after applying SP for Java System, Do we need to upgrade J2EE Startup Framework?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Prasad

  • SAP Web AS ABAP + Java system

    Hello All,
    I am looking at the installation guide of SAP XI. I did not understand one thing from that guide. it says
    <b>"If you want to install the component SAP Exchange Infrastructure:Prepare the SAP Web AS ABAP + Java system for SAP Exchange Infrastructure"</b>
    I would appreciate if anyone of you can clarify what is <b>SAP Web AS ABAP + Java system</b>.
    What I have been thinking all these days is we could have either Java(J2EE) or ABAP Web Application Server.
    I don't understand what this ABAP + Java system is ?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Vanaja,
    in the world of WAS 6.40 you can install it as three variant.
    1. ABAP standalone (with it own SID) e.g. for R/3
    2. Java stanalone (with it own SID) e.g. for EP 7.0
    3. ABAP + Java as an Add in (Java and ABAP has the same SID)
    For XI you have to install a so called double stack WAS 6.40 or SAP Web AS ABAP + Java System or ABAP + Java Add in. All this describe the same variant of the installation.
    Normally you will have one database where J2EE-Scheme and
    the ABAP-Schema is on the same database. I would really
    suggest you to read the installation master SR1 there you
    will get the understanding what is the difference.
    regards,

  • Java Server Nodes / Dialog Instance

    Hi All,
    When do we go for increase of Java Server nodes and Dialog instance?
    Can i know the pros and cons of the same
    my server is very slow in responding. I have tried the option of increasing the heap size but then i have little sucess
    Rgds
    aditya

    Install a server process when the incoming request are many and the you can utilize more RAM memory
    for eg if there are 8GB RAM and you have 1 server process the maximum u can give it is 2GB while the max 4GB can be utilized by any of the server processes in all in this system
    Do not increase this heap size on the same server process (in windows u cant do it also max is 2GB) since then the garbage collection would take longer and also would run in few intervals
    A Dialog instance is used when the system resources is completely exhausted and then we go for another hardware and install a fresh dailog instance there.. Its always recommended to use a Web Dispatcher in between the outside world and the SAP server in cluster mode
    Hope i am right since i didnt find this information anywhere its based on my understanding and brainstorming sessions with other admins

  • Is it really necessary to re-install the dialog instances?

    Hi,
    We are upgrading from NW04 (WAS 6.40) to NW04s (WAS 7.00) ABAP SR2  only  on Windows 2003 with Oracle 9i. There is no JAVA stack in our environment and we don't need it.
    In production system we have five separate dialog instances on five different physcial machines. All these application servers runnon Windows 2003 as well.
    Reading through the NW04s upgrade guide "SAP NetWeaver 2004s
    Application Server ABAP" dated 28th November 2006,
    <u><b>section 6.26</b></u> states we have to "install the new dialog instance on top of the old dialog instance".
    In the past upgrades eg. upgrade to NW04, we did not have to use SAPINST to re-install the dialog instance. Instead, the official NW04 (WAS6.40) upgrade guide just instructs us to amend instance profile parameters and copy the new version of kernel binaries either manually or using sapcpe.
    I want to avoid doing this re-installation work for the five dialog insatnces. Because I want to reduce the production outage period.
    Question all the upgrade experts
    1) Does any one have experience that indicates I should follow the SAP documentation to un-install 6.40 instance and then re-install at 7.00 level again?
    2) Also, what is the technical reason to uninstall and re-install?
    The full section 6.26 section paragraph is pasted here.
    <i><b>6.26 Upgrading or Installing Dialog Instances
    After the upgrade of the central instance, you need to upgrade the dialog instance to the new release.
    To do this, you install the new dialog instance on top of the old dialog instance using the tool SAPinst.
    You can now also install additional dialog instances, if necessary.
    Procedure
    Proceed as described in the document Installation Guide &#8210; <SAP NetWeaver / SAP solution> <Technology> on
    <Operating System>: <Database>.
    Caution
    If you upgrade a dialog instance, make sure to use the same instance number as on the source release.</b></i>

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for your detailed response. Our system is very much heavy batch processing oriented. Therefore our management does not want to hand over the production system until all dialog instances are ready at the new version.
    It would be great if the upgrade process is quick as you pointed out.
    Can you show me where this  "upgrade dialog instance" option  in V7 SAPINST? FYI. I should be able to start sapinst over the next few days to look for this upgrade option.
    However, I just got a response from ASIA-PACIFIC OSS that says I have to un-install and re-install  the existing dialog instance. Their response is as follows :
    <i><b>The dialog instance does not need to be upgraded since in the dialog
    instance, no database exists but only the kernel files and some
    profiles exist. After the upgrade, you should re-install the dialog
    instance since in the central instance, the kernel release has been
    changed to 700 due to the upgrade. But in the old dialog instance,
    it should still have the old release kernel files and profiles.
    Thus, by using reinstallation, the new release kernel files will be
    installed in the dialog instance.
    As to the procedure, you should uninstall the old instance firstly since during the installation, the files will be put to the same path of the
    old instance.We recommend you to backup the old dialog instance files
    before the installation.Sorry there is no related note but you can refer to the upgrade and installation guides.</b></i>
    Thanks for your input and assistance.

  • How to delete Dialog instance on NW04

    Hi guys
    I have an installation NW04 on Cluster MSCS:
    Central Instance on node A
    SCS instance on Cluster Disk
    Dialog instance on node B
    We have performed upgrade to NW04s, and now in postprocessin we should deinstall Dialog Instance and install it again with software NW04s.
    Here documentation guide:
    ****************************************+
    After the upgrade of the central instance, you need to upgrade the dialog instance to the new release.
    Due to the fact that some special settings and binaries on a dialog instance cannot be upgraded
    remotely, you can only upgrade a dialog instance by uninstalling the old instance and then installing
    a new dialog instance with the tool SAPinst.
    Procedure
    1. Uninstall the old dialog instances as described in the document Installation Guide ‒ SAP Web Application
    Server 6.40 Java on <Operating System>: <Database>, Part II Installation and Post-Installation.
    2. Install the new dialog instances as described in the document Installation Guide ‒ <SAP NetWeaver /
    SAP application> <Technology> on <Operating System>: <Database>.
    Point 1, is :
    *************+
    1. Log on as a user with domain administration rights.
    2. Choose Start u2192 Settings u2192 Control Panel u2192 Add/Remove Programs.
    3. The Add/Remove Programs dialog box appears.
    4. Find the SAP entries.
    . Note
    Each SAP instance that is installed on the computer is listed with an entry like SAP Application Server
    for System <SAPSID> instance.
    5. Choose Remove.
    The SAP Uninstall Wizard starts.
    6. In the Welcome window, choose Next.
    The dialog box Uninstalling SAP System appears for you to select an uninstall method
    Depending on your selection, note the following when you use the check box to delete an SAP instance:
    -- If your check box is marked gray, you delete or uninstall the following:
    The SAP instance directory, for example:
    \usr\sap\<SAPSID>\D00

    The whole system directory, for example:

    If you have different SAP instances that use the same <SAPSID>, you can delete the instance

    The wizard informs you when the SAP system or selected instances have been deleted successfully
    But in my node B there is no SAP entry on Start u2192 Settings u2192 Control Panel u2192 Add/Remove Programs, however Dialog Instance exists, and windows service exists...and so on...
    So how can we deinstall this dialog instance???
    Thanks and regards
    Javier

    Hi
    In node A there is JC30 (Java central instance)
    In node B there is J32 (Java Dialog instance)
    SCS31 (Services Central Instance) is now in node A, but can be switched.
    Database Instance is OUTSIDE, is located on a Unix Server. (is not affected in this case)
    Looking node B, there is no entry on Adding/Removing Programs regarding to SAP instance.
    Of course, I can see windows services on node B, one for J32, other for SAPoscol, and one more for SCS31.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    System call failed. Error 13 (Permission denied) in execution of system call 'mkdir' with parameter (/sapmnt/<SID>/exe/.created_by_SAPinst
    SAPinst is unable to create a directory exe under /sapmnt/<SID>
    Could you run the following commands
    chmod -R 777 /sapmnt/<SID>
    chown -R <sidadm>:sapsys /sapmnt/<SID>
    Retry after these changes.
    Regards,
