Dear team,

                In DB 12 ,Be hand the overview of redo log files its Displaying message like redo log files not yet backedup 133. how to resolve this, what is mean by that message!!!

As per Note 527843 , SAP has a requirement to install Oracle RDBMS binaries on shared filesystem. What would be the issue if we decide to install on local system? It's a standard practise everything to install oracle rdbms binaries locally to facilitate rolling patching but looks like SAP thinks otherwise. 

Has anyone installed Oracle RDBMS binaries locally in SAP environment? Would appreciate a quick response.

Hello,

I would like to know if SAP is aware of vulnerabilities on Oracle 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.3, 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.1, 12.1.0.2.

More information about very important issue (backdoor vulnerabilities) : https://threatpost.com/oracle-patches-backdoor-vulnerability-recommends-disabling-ssl/110555

Do you know when a SAP patch will be available ? It is very urgent.

Oracle Critical Patch Update - January 2015

Thank you

Hi Experts,

I have installed oracle 10.2.0.1(software only) in windows server 2008 R2(X64).

Now I want to patch this to oracle 10.2.0.4 version.

I have downloaded the patch and extracted and run the installer.

Now when I choose the oracle to patch, it gives the error that 'this can be used on an existing oracle home only'.

Also in the 'installed product' button, this is not showing any software details.

I am not able to understand what is the reason for this error. Please help.

Thanks,

Arijit

Hi,

I am trying to set up a SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 environment on my local VMWare.

• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Oracle Database 11g Release 2
• SOFTWARE PROVISIONING MGR 1.0
• 51049350_10_SAP Kernel 742_SAP NETWEAVER 7.4 SR2
• 51048312_1_EHP7 FOR SAP ERP 6.0_IDES
• 51048312_2_EHP7 FOR SAP ERP 6.0_IDES
• 
  

Oracle Instant Clients are used in SAP installations certified with Oracle database releases 10.2 or 11.2.

So, The problem is that, during the SAPinst installation, RDBMS Client Oracle 11.2 is mandatory to load. However I found that recently SAP download center doesn’t provide any Oracle software packages any longer. Now I get stuck there, where I can download it? or is there any way I can skip this step?

I tried to download the client directly from Oracle, but that client doesn’t contain the identification file LABEL.ASC.

May I know where to get the RDBMS Client Oracle 11.2

Hi Folks,

If you are running your shop on ORACLE database, monitoring/tracking count (& thus, volume/size) of archive log must be on top list.

As transaction activities (OLTP transactions or batch processing) increases, the amount of transaction logs also goes up. And, if it goes beyond the storage capacity of archive-log directory, your database may hit 'archiver stuck' situation. In addition, various questions may come on surface to be addressed - like

- available space for backup may get filled

- available bandwidth to ship archive logs to DR site (Disaster Recovery site) may come short (i.e. there may be delay in transferring archive log files from PRIMARY site to DR site)

- when did archive log generation was huge (this will help in tracing which background process to look for tuning)

In this document, i am coming up a script - which will give archive log count - hour-by-hour, daily - for a month: view on ONE Page.

This script runs on ORACLE Database Version 8i/9i/10g/11g.

This 'SELECT only' SQL QUERY to be run run as SYSTEM account.

This SQL QUERY finishes in 'few' seconds only (so, no adverse effect on database performance).

For your safety, advisable to run on your Development or Test instance (whichever is running in ARCHIVE MODE) first, before running on Production instance.

This script will generate output file named archive_log_count.html in the current (or running ) directory.

If your Oracle database is running on non-Windows server, you need to transfer (ftp or WinSCP or similar) this file from Oracle database host to Windows server and open it in web browser.

Best way to run this script is COPY & PASTE blue color text below at your 'SYSTEM' account SQL> prompt.

Here is the script (blue color) and sample output (as image):

set echo off

set feedback off

set termout off

set pause off

set head on

set lines 100

set pages 500

clear computes

Hi Team

We have completed System refresh on Prod to QA in ECC 6.0 EHP7.0 .Everything works fine except DB13

Pls note that we have ABAP SSFS configured both for BRTOOLS and for DB Connect ,completely eliminated OPS$ CONNECT. SAP Works fine by  using SSFS.I am able to execute BRTOOLS using sidadm and orasid from OS but it doesnt work from DB13 at SAP

As per note 1764043 - Support for secure storage in BR*Tools the file system are as below

ls -al $SAPDATA_HOME/security/rsecssfs

drwx------  5 orasid   dba          512 Feb 19 10:52 .

drwx------  3 orasid   dba          512 Feb 19 10:50 ..

drwx------  2 orasid   dba          512 Feb 19 10:56 data

drwx------  2 orasid   dba          512 Feb 19 10:56 key

DB13 works the moment I change the file system permissions above but as per note ,only orasid should have access and not sid adm.

Pls advice on to solve it

Thanks

i get sql error when try to log into the sap system, it says sql error in the database when accessing a table

Here is a list of all possibilities to check and identify Oracle Instant Client Version.

1. SM51->"Release Notes"
   
   
   
   
2. From SAP Workprocess trace
   
   
3. UNIX/ Using 'genezi -v'
   
   
4. Windws / oci.dll
   
   Locate oci.dll within %ORACLE_HOME% and use right-click on the file.
   
   
   
   
   

These are the options known to me.

If you feel the list is incomplete, please let me know.

Hi all,

I am getting error while accessing some tcodes in SAP with my id.

[], [], [], [], [], [], [].

I have checked for corruption, no corruptions found. I have checked for the status of datafile, all are online.

Kindly suggest on it.

Introduction:-

The current version of oracle is 12c (C stands for Cloud) with cloud features. Oracle Database 12c makes the process far faster and simpler, enabling the high density of schema-based consolidation—without requiring changes to existing applications. To make this possible, a single, multitenant container database can now host many "pluggable" databases.

Step 1

    1. Login into OS with user “root”.

    2. Update /etc/hosts file with fully qualified name of server

[root@<hostname>]# cat /etc/hosts

   3. Check the Linux kernal version.

   [root@<hostname>]# uname -a

  4.  OS Packages (RPMs) requirements:

  5. Use  “oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall” package to automatically install all required RPMs using “yum” OS utility.

   # cd /etc/yum.repos.d

  # wget https://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo

  # yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall -y

  6. Create Oracle user & Group base on your requirements

  7. Stet the value current ulimits in followings "/etc/profile"

  8 . Set the enviorment variable like below for example:

9.  Install the database (Note : You need X-manager or anyother tool to execute GUI to install Oracle DB)

[oracle@<hostname>]# cd /software/database

[oracle@<hostname>]# ls

[oracle@<hostname>]# ./runInstaller
