Dear Experts,

I am performing the first upgrade to oracle 12c in our environment. Currently, I finished the procedure

for switching the Oracle Software owner user from oraSID to oracle, which is described in SAP note

1915317 - Migrating Software Owner to 'oracle'

There, at point 13 Configure SAP BR*Tools for user 'oracle', I wanted to check the result by launching:

OS> brconnect -u / -f check

OS> brbackup -u / -q

Unfortunately, these commands are failing:

<SID>adm 1%  brbackup -u / -q

BR0051I BRBACKUP 7.40 (15)

BR0055I Start of database backup: beqgenmx.qub 2015-04-09 15:33:23

BR0484I BRBACKUP log file: /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup/beqgenmx.qub

BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2015-04-09 15:33:23

BR0301E SQL error -1031 at location BrInitOraCreate-2, SQL statement:

'CONNECT / AT PROF_CONN IN SYSOPER MODE'

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

BR0303E Determination of Oracle version failed

BR0056I End of database backup: beqgenmx.qub 2015-04-09 15:33:23

BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2015-04-09 15:33:23

BR0054I BRBACKUP terminated with errors

This can easily be fixed by launching the sapdba_role.sql and sapconnect_role.sql scripts, which are

contained in the BRTools 7.40.SAR file. But soon after, I found out, that things are good just in the

current session. Once I log out from the user and then switch back to it, the above error comes back

again. I have compared the environment when it works and when it doesn't, and there is no difference,

so here I am out of ideas... Please kindly help me to solve this, THANKS!

Hello SAP experts,

Do you know where I can find a SAP guide to make the upgrade to the recently released Oracle 12?

Thanks & kind regards,

Luis López

Hi all

I need to remove entries from TP BUFFER.

Our SPAM Patch got stuck some where. I removed all the entries from PAT01, PAT02, PAT03, PAT10, TRBAT & TRJOB tables but still we are facing same problem.

I got QUEUE_NOT_EMPTY error message.

Here is the solution:

CHECK_REQUIREMENTS

In this step, various requirements for the import of the Support Package are checked.

The following messages explain why this step may be terminated:

  QUEUE_NOT_EMPTY: There are incompletely processed OCS requests in the tp buffer.

Use the following tp command to display these requests:

tp SHOWBUFFER <SID> -D SOURCESYSTEMS= TAG=SPAM

You can continue processing the queue as soon as these requests have been processed

completely, or deleted from the tp buffer.

I GOT MISSING PARAMETER ERROR WHILE I TRIED THIS COMMAND,

IS SOURCESTSEMS = HOST NAME?

PLZ LEMME KNOW THE RIGHT COMMAND....

Hi experts,

I’m going to describe our current scenario as detailed as possible.

Even when it’s seems to be a very common issue, almost all notes and SCN questions point me to a solution for distributed system but in my case this is a central one.

The following note describes the scenario exactly as the one we have, but again it seems to apply for distributed systems: 2064591 - work processes reconnect to Oracle database with error ORA-03135. The proposed solution has been tested but with no lack. Also the solution presented in the bellow links but with no result either:

http://www.oracle-experts.info/ora-03135-connection-lost-contact

http://www.inthebasis.com/solve-ora-03135-connection-lost-contact/

Just in case the Windows Firewall has been completely turned off and the NIPING self test is OK.

In addition, the data base library (lib_dbsl_215-10012499.sar) has been updated and we are planning to update the whole kernel and oracle instant client.

Could you please suggest what to check or what would be the recommended troubleshooting?

Thanks

Hello SAP Gurus,

We have installed the below HA System in our Primary Site. 

We have same SID for SAP & DB. Due to HA, we used Virtual-Host-name/IP in our Primary Site.

Now we are in process of setting up our DR Site.

•   We planned to use the Virtual-Hostname/IP in DR.
•   We planned to use Oracle-Data-guard for DB Replication at DR Site

Our environment

OS     : Solaris 10

DB     : Oracle 11.2

SAP   : NW7.0 / ECC 6.0 Ehp3 (Abap+Java)

Host-entry of Primary Server

erpph01 10.1.1.10      #Physical Host

erpdb      10.1.1.83        # DB Instance

erpd00    10.1.1.80       # PAS

erpscs     10.1.1.81        # Java CI

erpascs   10.1.1.84        # ABAP CI

Planned Host-entry for DR Server:

erpdr01   10.2.1.10      #Physical Host

erpdb      10.2.1.83      #DB Instance

erpd00    10.2.1.80      #CI+PAS

We got below queries:

1. Can we use the same virtual host-name for SAP & DB in DR Server?
2. How to up the DR Host in the fastest way without changing manually the ip address, host name in  ABAP &JAVA parameter files, Instance Profiles ?
3. How we can synchronize from Production Site SAP Application files (Instance profiles, Java configuration files, binary files..) to Disaster Recovery Site?   

Thanks for your feedback.

Dear all,

Apologies for the lengthy message

I am preparing to create a new experimental PI 7.3  system called PIX as a copy of the already existing PI Development system PID. The database of the source system is Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Oracle RAC and ASM. I plan to be using the database specific method for the system copy.

Because of Oracle RAC and ASM, the backup in the source system is taken with brbackup calling RMAN and the restore in the target system has to happen with RMAN. I will be restoring from an full offline RMAN backup.

I am trying to put together a plan as the documentation from SAP when it comes to restoring on ASM with RMAN is scattered in many different places and not detailed enough.

The ASM disk groups in the target system differ to the ones in the source system. For example, the source system diskgroup contains the <SID> as well, so +PID_DATA while the target system diskgroup for data is called +DATA

I read that I should run brrecover in order to restore with RMAN on ASM. For that, the target database should bein mount state when brrecover runs against it.

So I understand that I have to run brrestore -d rman_util -b last -m 0,00 to restore the source controlfile in thetarget system together with the source online redo logs.

My first question is how the controlfile and online redo logs will be stored. brrestore will look to restore them in an ASM diskgroup in the target system that does not exist. They have been backed up as (example)

+PID_MLOG/pid/onlinelog/group_1.256.783443785
+PID_OLOG/pid/onlinelog/group_1.256.783443785
+PID_DATA/PID/cntrlPID.dbf
+PID_ARCH/PID/cntrlPID.dbf
+PID_RECO/PID/cntrlPID.dbf

but the target system only has disk groups +DATA, +ARCH,+RECO

The three controlfiles will need to go to one of +DATA, +ARCH,+RECO each and the PID_OLOG to +DATA and the PID_MLOG to +RECO.

Then, I will have to start the database in mount state. As there is nothing with the target system name PIX in the restored controlfile, I assume that I will have to set the environment of Unix user oracle to point to the source system PID (ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID, SAPDATA_HOME) and start the database mount as if it was a PID database. Is that correct?

Then set the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc point to target system name PIX values and finally, following the
instructions from note 1003028

brrecover -t reset -b last -f PIX -RDG

The -RDG option will activate special parameter _remap_disk_groups which will need to be set to something like this: _remap_disk_groups=(+PID_DATA,+DATA,+PID_OLOG,+DATA,+PID_MLOG,+RECO,+PID_ARCH,+ARCH,+PID_RECO,+RECO)

Note 1003028 does not say where this parameter is set. Is it an Oracle parameter to be set in the spfile ora parameter of brrecover set in the menus? Or somewhere else?

Many thanks for your help

Andreas

Dear All,

I'm scheduling oracle online/offline backup using brtools.

It's throwing error message "SQL error -1031 at location in BrSapTspGet-8, SQL Statement :

'PREPARE stmt_1 FROM' 'SELECT TABSPACE FROM "SAPSLM".TSORA UNION SELECT INDSPACE FROM "SAPSLM".TSORA ORDER BY 1'

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

I've performed stack12 upgrade on solman 7.1. After successful completion of upgrade, I'm taking database backup as post steps. This issue is coming.

Kindly see the screenshot for more info.

Note: Archive log backup with BRtools is working fine.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

We are trying to install the NW 7.4 with oracle 12c as standalone machine.

During the phase of install database server software phase, we got message as below snap

but we got doubt as why we need to install grid? please suggest us how can we proceed in that.

Note: we selected the option "install DB with oracle user" is there any relation between this?

Hi

I am trying to extract data from another oracle database through Consuming web service by using Client proxy generation approach(Wsdl file), After I generated the  client proxy and going to test run the web service  it giving me the error: soapfaultcode:5 Server was unable to process request Data Base Error: ORA-12154:TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier as I am doing it first so don't have much idea what kind of issue actually it is either my side consuming side or service provider side which actually created this web service and give it to me  to invoke.

Given below is snap shot of error.

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 All,

I would like to ask you about one thing, I try to prepare SAP Homogenous system copy with new SID based on Linux SUSE/Oracle 11 and I have a one question. I do it by SAP software Provisioning Manager, system copy etc.

During the installation one of steps is – stop installation by SAP Provisioning Manager and Oracle database installation by script. /RUNINSTALLER.

When I do this one of the elements is type of Oracle installation:

• Create and Configure database
• Install database Software only
• Upgrade an existing database

I chose “Install database Software only” because I would like to restore database from my backup files, but if I will chose this, after Oracle installation I cannot connect to the Oracle via SQLPlus – this tool not working. Where is the problem, perhaps shall I chose “Create and Configure database” ? Or something should be done after “Install database software only”.

Thanks for your help.

Tomasz

Hi All,

We are upgrading our database from 11g to 12c,we have 200 Reports related to ORDERS,OPM and FINANCE and we have three support universe for these.

What will be the impact on our existing reports which are in production environment? and what are the basic things we need to change in universe after upgradtion?

Is it possible to make changes in existing universe only or we need to rebuild the universe? what are the test scenarios we need to conduct?

can anyone help me on this? any related documents on this?
