Hi All,

We have an issue in reversal of a capital investment order, using the actual settlement for orders "KO88". An incorrect settlement has been processed on this particular order after line item distribution was action-ed.

The reversal succeeds to the point where the report is displayed, but on exiting the screen an Express document is generated (pop up error), notifying update termination.

Looking into update record snaps (SM13) has revealed that the error occurs in module K_SETTLEMENT_DOCUMENT_INSERT and also short dump in ST22 indicates the update fails in line "INSERT COEPD FROM TABLE ACOEPD." of source code LKO78F10

I have tried may oss notes but unfortunately couldn't find any that could help. Even tested note175522 with no luck

The platform we are having this issue on is version 4.6B

Could anyone please shed some light on this issue for me, muchly appreciated in advance!

Regards,

Parviz

Hi all,

any help on this would be appreciated.

we are doing a daily refresh in Solaris database in which we

1. bcp  out of tables sysusers, sysprotects and sysalternates

2. Refresh the database

3.bcp in OF   above  sys tables

so, for an automatic database refresh in oracle, can anyone anyone suggest what system tables can be used in oracle.I found sys.all_users and sys.all_tab_privs can do, but it should not affect  otherschemas and  we add  dailyonthe and database and that should not cause any problem.

can anyonesuggest on this???

Hi,

We have upgraded the SAP ERP 6.0 system from source release EHP5 to target release EHP6 using NZDM facility provided in SUM tool SP07.

Below are the details of infrastructure:

Operating System: Windows 2008 64 bit

Database: Oracle

SUM tool version: 1.0 SP07

Total Ram: 8 GB

CPU: 2 core

Source release: ERP 6.0 EHP 5

Target release: ERP 6.0 EHP 6

We have tried running SGEN in the uptime phase on shadow system during upgrade. And we consider that we may save our time in running SGEN once the upgrade is completed. We found some objects were not compiled after upgrade, e.g objects for t-code va01 and va02. So, we had to run SGEN after the upgrade was completed which took long time before completion.

Minimal downtime is 6h 32 min and total runtime of upgrade was 120 hrs (including SGEN and excluding wait/troubleshooting time).

My major query is why do we need to run SGEN after upgrade using NZDT technology. We should be able to save runtime of SGEN.

Also, business downtime is not near zero in our case. As per NZDT, it should be very less. So, how less can we expect the downtime to be using NZDT.

Dear Experts,

Request you to please share your valuable experiences with the concept of "Migration of SAP System with Oracle 10g on RAC from HP-UX to AIX"

My Queries are as below:

1) As the source is already on Oracle 10g RAC how to migrate using SAP tools

     - Do I need to make the oracle 10g RAC to Oracle 10g Single Instance Database ? ( If possible can u please provide the steps to do so )

     If there is any other alternative please let me know

2) During Target System Installation before importing data, we need to install oracle software

     - Do I need to install Oracle Cluster Software before installing Oracle Software ?

     - Do I need to install Oracle Software as Single Instance or Oracle RAC software need to be installed

3) As Oracle Cluster Software is already installed, its regarding PowerHA Clustering

     - Do I need to take care of even database in PowerHA configuration ?

Please note, before posting this discussion I have already referred White Papers related to Oracle 10g/11g RAC configuration for SAP and also referred the relevant OSS notes

1) Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 and Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g Release 2

2) Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters

3) 527843 - Oracle RAC support in the SAP environment

Hi experts,

I have done some test on my system ecc 6.0 oracle 10.2, 4 TB db size. My exported files are about 450 MB.

I have to move those files to another city and then do the import, I would like to know if there any SAP utility to checksum those exported files SAPxxx.001 'cause I would not like to get the R3load error "ERROR: invalid checksum in data file"

Is there any way to sun R3load with those exported files just to checksum?

Or any other SAP program?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Dear All,

Last week we faced one issue, users were  not able to update anything in database in sm13 update was getting deactivated and system was throwing dump and all the work process were in running status.

When we checked alert log we came to know that one of the tablespace was full

ORA-1691: unable to extend lobsegment SAPSR3.SYS_LOB0000189627C00005$$ by 8192 in tablespace              PSAPSR3701X

Hence we increased tablespace PSAPSR3 and issue was solved partially as there were some network issue as well.

But my question is all tablespace have Autoextend then how come tablespace got full?

  Please see below screen shot from db02 and let us know is there any other tablespace is getting full because as per my understanding if we keep autoextend on then it should extent automatically?

Kindly advice

Thanks

I tried to check some SAP notes like 1260104, but this refers to only 701 SPS 02. COuld you please provide the the work around, if anyone had faced this kind of issue.

Your support is very much appreciated.

Hello,

We have started with import of SOLMAN 701 SPS25 into a new system to perform a test upgrade before we go for our actual PRD upgrade.

ABAP and JAVA load has finished successfully and during post load activities phase and step 'Set Database password' we get below error.

This error looks like trying to encrypt the DB user password and fails with the error mentioned in the log.

Can someone throw some light on the issue.

Thanks.

Hi Experts

I am restoring a database from an off line backup from tape , backup was taken three months back , backup utility is Commvault which uses brtools with the client. currently I donot see the corresponding  backup log ( beklodrv.aff) file ( 3 months old ) , according to the SAP note 1003028 which I am following needs the backup log file of the backup to start the  restore command.

Is there anyway I can get the restore started without the backup log file with brrestore/ recover command ? I have a successfull backup in tape, not sure if the log file is there and donot know how to retrive the tape if it is there.

How the log file has gone , how can keep the files in /oracle/SID/sapbackup for longer time ?

Thanks

Hi,

I want to setup Disaster Recovery for one of our SAP Production system, and details for that are as below,

SAP Product : ECC EHP5 / SAP Nw based on 702 SP level 10

Kernel : SAP KERNEL 7.20 64-BIT UNICODE / patch 300

OS : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7

Database :Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0-64bit

(Single Application server with CI+DB installation)

SAP has suggested below SCN links & notes, but these are not really helpful for technical purpose,

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7845

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-15688

605062 - FAQ: Restore and recovery

96848 - Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on ORACLE

1060696 - New BRRESTORE and BRCONNECT command options

What our management has decided is to use the Oracle Data Guard for setting DR configuration instead of any OS specific script (We are licensed to use oracle data guard), and for that I need help or possibly step by step guide with screenshot but I have not find it, However I have found one guide which can been checked at http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/sap/wp-ora4sap-dataguard11g-303811.pdf 

Here I would like to know whether can I depend on this guide and can follow the mention steps of it. Or is there any better guide is available.

Also FYI, I have already completed fresh ECC system installation on DR server  and now remaining with backup restore of current PRD to DR PRD & Oracle Data Guard configuration.

Thank you for your guidance.

Regards,

Kiraang.

Hi,

I administer a SAP GRC system, running on Linux x86_64 with Oracle 11.2.0.2.0.
Sincer November 2012, we have the following problem:

The database connections get dried up. Meaning that the number of OS processes with LOCAL=NO is increasing until in reaches the maximum allowed connections and as the connections are not closed, the system hangs. At this point we restart the system and all the connections get released.

This issue occured at first once every two weeks. But for more than a month now, once the system is restarted, the number of connections increases immediately without being released and we need to restart the system again and again every 2 or 3 days in order to release connections and get a functional system at least for a while.

At first, we increased the parameter "processes" from 150 to 300. And Max Connections also to 300. Even though we increase the number of processes and sessions, they still get dried up after a while; so it just delays a bit the inevitable.

We opened a sap call at GRC category, and so far, it does not seem to be a problem related to the GRC application side. They haven't figured anything wrong.

From the database perspective we tried switching from dedicated server processes to shared server processes. But this resulted in a similar issue. Even though there are no more LOCAL=NO processes, after a while, the system gives a timeout when we try to log in and a restart is again needed.

Have you ever encountered a similiar issue, or do you have any suggestions what else to try?

Thank you,
Delia
