igswd.exe Process Stopped

2013-07-22T07:51:00.003-07:00

This executables (example: igswd.exe), were not in kernel directory (640 version). What I did was, first I downloaded the igs file for kernel 720 (which are 16 files) and then I put them in kernel directory, after that I tried to start the system but unfortunately the same error appeared!

High CPU Utilization After Oracle Patchset Upgrade

2012-07-31T05:06:00.004-07:00
When upgraded our Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.5, when we started the DB the CPU utilization jas increase to above 90%.
Ans -: Whenever you bounce the database the cache gets rebuilt.
When the buffer is clean it forces physical reads which impacts the performance.
When you say 90% of CPU, do you mean to say that in TOPAS command you were able to see the CPU consumption like this :
Name PID CPU% PgSp Owner
oracle 1111111 90.0 109.2 orasid
2-: The OS is AIX5.3. Currently the CPU has dropped already after we update the stats but prior to that, the rough average CPU utilization is 2% for Oracle processes which in total is 90%++. We are running in IBM Pseries box, Its actually a Portal system DB, so we dont actually expect that it would be really using much resources, our application is in another server (Windows) so its pure DB running on this server. Memory is 15GB, CPU is 1.8x2 2GHz.
3-: If it is AIX or any other UNIX systems what is consuming more CPU in topas or top command ? What box is that ?
what is the configuration - Memory, CPU.
How much memory have you assigned for SGA, PGA and also the memory used by the processes ?

Why Solution Manager is Sending Job Delay Alerts

2012-07-30T04:29:00.000-07:00
Q-: Why Solution Manager is Sending Job Delay Alerts
Ans-: You have to check your SAP Solution Manager Monitoring and Alerting configuration.
Probably you use Business Process Monitoring/Job Monitoring? You can adjust the configuration to your needs.
Its may be the problem is: if the job is started by event, it should not alert delays, because it is not periodical.
Or You might use an appropriate job start condition. Not by time, but identifying the job by event? That might limit the available key figures, but it should address the incorrect alerting and notifications.

Q-: We are having EP system installed on SLES 10 SP1 with Oracle Database. Today, We have upgraded our OS from SLES 10 SP1 to SLES 10 SP4.
After Upgradation of SP, we have started the Portal server but not able to open with the browser.
find below the output of starting of application
qacm:epdadm 51> start sap all Checking EPD Database
Sol-: Be aware that you need to switch to the SAP JVM for Java systems. This is mandatory for SAP systems for SAP to provide you any support.
Another point-:
If you have upgraded the JAVA also with SP upgrade. Then first uninstall the new java version and then install the previous version it will work surely.

Oracle 10g Abnormal Program Termination On Windows 2008 R2

Q-: Oracle 10g Abnormal Program Termination On Windows 2008 R2
SAP ECC 6.0 DEV and PROD servers on Windows 2003 with Oracle 10.2 database.
My client purchased windows 2008 R2 with new hardware Itanium processor, i have to migrate windows 2003 OS to Windows 2008.
On new server, I plan to perform system copy.
I installed Windows 2008 R2 on new server and j2sdk. Then I tried to install Oracle 10.2 from Oracle dump -> C:\TEMP\NT\IA64
I am getting error after entering drive letter and SID,
Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occurred. Please provide the following files to Oracle support: " unknown"
Sol-: download the IA64 media? Look for SAP Note 986578 - Oracle support in Itanium 2 systems (Montecito & following), I do not know if this applies to Windows but at least in Linux depending on the architecture you need whether to use IBM JDK (x86_64 or x64) or Sun JDK (IA64).
Another thing-:
Your client's management is seemingly not aware that IA64 is dying off? Are they good to go for another platform switch, 2 years from now?

Sol-: You have to set the recommended OS kernel parameter (check your OS procedure) also set java environment parameters and test with java -version command if java is working under the user used to install oracle...basic prerequisite for OS administration part.
If you done these steps-:
temporarily shifted sapinst_dir under the oracle as default directory tmp got full. I ran pre-requisite checker and got two error as follow but I assumed its not relevant to this particular issue.
1. Environment variable (CPIC_MAX_CONV) =condition not met <
2. JAVA_HOME = Could not check <
You have need to remember this step when using java that what version and use parameter accordingly
you use the right java, in this case is JDK 1.4.2 downloaded from IBM, as far as I know. Also need to read the OS related notes as asep818 said in order to set the correct kernel parameters.

Can EhP4 to EhP5 be Cnsidered an Upgrade

2012-03-07T00:17:00.000-08:00
Can EhP4 to EhP5 be Cnsidered an Upgrade?

If you only apply EhP5 without any support packages, it's not considered an upgrade. The EhP5 pack does not touch any of the existing objects in your system, it will only add new functionality. However, it's highly recommended (and often mandatory) to include the latest support package stack whilst applying EhP5, and when you apply support package stacks, you must always perform a full regression test in your system.
Another concept-:SAP's marketing strategy is to say that Enhancement package Stacks is not an upgrade, but in reality it is the same amount of work as an upgrade.
You really need to use the Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer to extract the full Stack packages and apply to the DEV system then you project team need to perform full Regression Testing.
Q why exception 'CX_RSR_X_MESSAGE' was raised
Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
adequately responded to, the running ABAP program 'SAPLRRMS' has to be
terminated.
Ans-:
Q when I'm trying to use the SNC Web UI, the Internet Explorer is unable to display the page.
ans-: This looks like it is the log of an installation; is that correct ? Either way, I would look at:

* the system prerequisites,
* the amount of SWAP space (or paging file on Windows),
* and the Java parameters.

it's the log of an installation.

Latest version of SAP BI and PI Systems,Kernal Upgrade in Dual Stack

2012-03-06T03:05:00.000-08:00
Q-:What are latest version of SAP BI and PI systems
can I install BI system using the dump 'ehp1 for NW 7.3'?
can I install PI system using the dump 'ehp1 for NW 7.3'?

Ans-: you use the same DVDs for BI and PI on NW 7.3 EhP1. SAPinst will give you a list of available options to install and PI is one of them. This is new for NW 7.3. With NW 7.0 and 7.1, there was a separate DVD kit for PI
As per my understanding, It is
BI- EhP1 for NW 7.3
PI - PI 7.3

Q
How to start SAP Installation master in AIX. I have moved to current directory and ./sapinst. But it's giving following error.

iaextract.c :440: error opening archive file /oracle/ZIM/IM_AIX_PPC64/ ./sapinst

Ans-:There are three cases what you try to solve this problem
1-:Have you uncar the Installation master DVD
2-: Check permission and ownership of the directory. Make sure that directory has execute permission.
3-:uploaded zip file to server and unzipped it on machine and started sapinst.

Q-:Kernel upgrade on Dual Stack system, do we need to perform it using JSPM or 'usual' kernel upgrade process will suffice?

and if it is from JSPM then why we require to do it using JSPM, any specific reason behind it?

Ans-: You can perform the kernel upgrade using JSPM or using the standard file copy method.

No difference
Do this through JSPM as this takes care of shutting down both stacks.

Q-: Transaction MB51 runs for a long time on mkfb table
ans-: Check your indices on MKPF.

If possible rebuilt them. In our case suddenly MB51 start to
underperform... very badly, from 15 min to 2 hours.
Our basis rebuilt the indices (don't know if all of them or one in
particular) and that made the difference.
BTW, we just have a year and 2 months of data so the reconstruction of
indices did the job in our case.

However be aware that if your data is large, index reconstruction might not
solve your problem int that case check SAP Notes 1598760, 1550000, 1516684,
that in short, pass create some fields of MKPF to MSEG so there is no need
for a join between these two tables by only using MSEG.
That is harder to implement but is seems to the way to go if really have
lots of data.

Q-:tcode st02 shows red entry for SWAP PROGRAM, SWAP SCREEN & SWAP GENERIC KEY.

Ans-:
Important measurement is the HitRatio. If the HitRatio is greater than 96% you do not really have a problem
Look for the memory related parameters post the values for
ztta/roll_area
ztta/roll_first
ztta/short_area

Q
Working on a project which has a 4 different production systems sitting on 4 different release levels of SAP i.e. ECC5, 4.6C, 4.7 and ECC6.

A financial statement version was created on the development system of 4.6c and would need to be applied to the other 3 remaining systems. Is it possible to apply/import the same transport or will the FSV need to be configured in each dev system of the 3 remaining?

Ans-: You cannot apply Transport Request that was generated on different version.
2-: Need to be developed in each version

Q-: Email configuration
case 1-: it is possible to receive in our SAP message queue (in SOST) a warning/alert message, when, for instance, we send a message from a SAP to an email address which it has the mailbox full... it is possible to receive an information with a “mailbox full” message?
case2-: It´s possible, somehow, to configure an automatic reprocessing of all messages that failed, for instance, I send a message from a SAP system to an email address but for some reason it fails, is there any way to sent again this message automatically in SOST?

Ans-:It's been years since I was looking at connections between SAP and MS-Exchange and email send errors.
Which SAP version? Is it MS-Exchange as the SMTP server or something else? If something else, is that ESMTP compliant?
case 1 solution
In SCOT, use menu option: "Settings" > "Confirmation of Receipt". It's a fairly self-explanatory screen.
Search SAP documentation for "DSN" (delivery status notification), that's the industry standard term for this functionality. The more popular definition of DSN is data source name (a logical DB identifier), that's not the one you want.
case 2 solution
Question for the OP: Have you looked at all the send failures (for 1 day as an example) and assessed how many of those would benefit from being resent, as is? What I remember is, almost all email send failures I checked occurred because of a malformed target email address (I've checked 1000s of email/fax send failures in SOST, back in the day). Resending the same malformed item again & again is not going to resolve anything, even if you had an ABAPer code a program that would resubmit failures for you. I'm sure an ABAPer could create such a program, but I'm not aware of any standard functionality that would do the same automatically (of course, you can resend failures manually from within SOST).

Trusting RFC, RFC Authorization Error

2012-01-06T05:51:00.000-08:00
Q
RFC Authorization Error
runner to run Winshuttle.why we get error - "user had no RFC authorization" - authorization problem data not found.
You SAP user inside your RFC connection is missing S_RFC and similar security profiles.

Ans-: If you have mixed upper/lowercase characters in your password, please check out sap note 1023437 - ABAP syst: Downwardly incompatible passwords (since NW2004s)
Mostly when we submit the password which is wrong it displays the message such like that
actually rfc authorization is When a remote call of a function module is made, an automatic authorization check is performed, provided that the profile parameter auth/rfc_authority_check is set to 1. The authorization check uses the authorization object S_RFC to check whether the user defined in the destination has RFC authorization for the function group of the called function module.

Q
Why dump CALL_FUNCTION_SIGNON_REJECTED in our production system at regular interval (every 30 mins). This dump is generated only from all of the application servers, but not from the central instance. SAPSYS user is generating this dump.

An external system, is trying to login into your PRD system every 30 minutes. Check your other system to find failed jobs (SM37) or short dumps (ST22).
Ans-:
CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR shows when there is some issue on REMOTE server. Try to check the logs on that remote server where you want to execute this function.

You can also search for a function/program name on internet.
Another way
Note 171805 - Determining RFC client when sign-on problems occur
Note 313971 - Monitoring: RFC error messages for SAPSYS users

SAP Note 13347 - CALL_FUNCTION_SIGNON_REJECTED

The RFC using to connect to your system can have the wrong password or problem with the user id.
it may be issue-:
This is due to authorisation issues . This seems to be issues in RFC connections. Check all your connections

Q
Have offline backup of db. but need to restore it , so that we can restore to my previous state. how it can be done
Ans-: we can do it by using BRTOOLS (OR) BRRESTORE.
If you have brtools 7.00 and above then have a look at note 1003028 which talks about enhanced database copy in brtools.
Using brrecover is a good option
you can recover using the commance brrecover -c force -t complete -b last (This will do a complete recovery )
or do a point of time recovery using
brrecover -c force -t dbpit -b last -seq last
This will not only restore but also recover your database.

Another way to solve the problem
Just restore datafiles from the backup like sapdata1 to sapdata1 ,sapdata2
to sapdata2 ,sapdata3 to sapdata3 ,sapdata4 to sapdata4 and so on.

As it is offline backup so it does not requires redologs.

Q
What is Trusting RFC.After setting trust connection between ECC & SolMan one TRUSTING_SYSTEM@ rfc is generated by system automatically in system both side.

What is use of it and does it effect trust connection if it is deleted?
Ans
Solman is reading/writing data from other systems through this RFC
etc monitoring, transport management, key distributions, project management, ... whatever you use solman for

If this rfc is not working properly then the solman functions will not work either.

Q
Will the Trace File be Lost if the System is Restarted? will you loose the trace file, or can you see?

ans-:In SAP the st11 dev trace files are created anew for every system
restart...dev_w0 dev_w1 etc.. in /usr/sap/SID/DV*/work directory.
SAP only keeps one .old version.
If you want to keep more, rename it something other than .old.

Query-: test message for the SAP go live procedure for my SOLUTION MANAGER 7.1 on Windows 64/Oracle.

In service desk => create support message: I can manage to create the message but it doesn't seem to be sent to SAP.
What is the procedure once the message is created to send it to SAP? Cause when I select: "send message to SAP" I have the following error: The system could not find your SAP customer message system user"
solution:
SAP Note 1165980 is not applicable as such, but did you maintain the S-Users

maintained the Super Users, I have 4 in the system: SIDADM, DDIC, SAP* and Myuser.

I use the COSADM account to create the message, and in the test message to SAP, the reporter is "myaccount" and the sold-to-party is "sap support".

Q-: trying to perform a client copy form 100 --> 200 with sap_all profile. This copy fails with error:

Database error 8102 at DEL access to table COBRB
> ORA-08102: index key not found, obj# 15818, file 16, block

We've got this error for several indexes; but those indexes EXISTS! (I've checked on db02, se14, )

Also, I've checked at Oracle level with sqllplus, and also exists on database (with the same object_id 15818)

How SAP Table Reorganized | Create Background Job Tivoli or Sap server

2011-12-28T05:40:00.000-08:00
Q-:
How is SAP Table Reorganized ? Should all the table included !
should it be online/offline?

Ans-: You can do table Reorg either online or offline.Please take note that the online reorganization will impact on system performance, therefore you need to run this when the system load is low.

If you are using Oracle, reorg can be done using BRTools or db13 too.Please have a look at SAP Note 646681(for oracle) .Below am giving the method to run this if it is oracle DB;
the procedure to perform reorganization using BR*Tools::
1. Run BRTOOLS. Choose Segement Management or run from
the command prompt brspace –f tbreorg.
2. Enter table name in Table names (table).
3. Choose Reorganize Tables.
4. Set the required option like new destination tablespace or set he parallel thread which will be used to perform reorganization. The more you set the thread, the faster your process will be. But his limited to the CPU specification in OS level.
5. Choose continue to start processing.
6. Check the detail log in s.tbr.

You can perform the following types of reorganization:

* Reorganize tables online and check tables for reorganisation
* Clean up tables after aborted reorganization
* Convert LONG and LONG RAW fields to CLOB or BLOB online
* Stop reorganization (command-line mode only)
* Suspend reorganization (command-line mode only)
* Resume reorganization (command-line mode only)

Q-:
How void a range of checks and reprint them at the same time. What is the T-code I would use? Is it FCH8?
Ans-: No, FCH8 is used for reverse check payment
You need to check with your FI consultants or ask this message in the SAP-ACCT group.

Q-: ECC 6.0 ABAP server. Enabled user defined CCMS monitoring for file system, job failures, etc,,. But Spool alerts not getting generated in Tivoli.

Ans-: You can use Tcode SM36 to create background job and SM37 to check it on
SAP server.

2-: ans
For Tivoli to alert you on Filesystem, Table space or jobs etc your Tivoli
team will need to configure the tivoli situations on Tivoli. You as a
BASIS administrator will need to assist in the initial installation. You
will be required to run a standard script provided by tivoli which creates
the tablespaces,user assign the requisite roles to the tivoli user in your
SAP database and then import a transport into your instances.
Once done there are certain config details which will be needed to be
provided to the tivoli team by the help of which tivoli will start
monitoring your instance and depending on the situation configured generate
the alert.

assume that Tivoli does read all the open alerts which are reported
in the monitor "rz20 -> Tivoli monitoring -> New Pok sap"

Please first check if this is done for RED and YELLOW alerts and
secondly please check if only spool alerts are missing because as you
can see in the attached screen shot this monitor is reporting alerts
for many other type of monitoring nodes. It is better I think only to
create a monitor for the background job and spool monitoring nodes and
use this monitor for Tivoli.

Q-:How to create background job ? it should be created in Tivoli server or SAP server?
Ans-: You can use Tcode SM36 to create background job and SM37

Dialogue WP cannot be Killed,License for DR test in sap

2011-12-16T06:08:00.000-08:00
Q-:
Dialogue WP cannot be Killed
dp mon , sm50 -> cancel with core , cancel without core , kill from OS with pid.
OS : Linux
SAP : SAP ECC 6.0
Ans-:
user associated with the work process you want to kill (in sm50). If so try sm04 - select the user - user drop down menu - log off user.
get the PID and kill it from OS level .

check the ps -ef |greap PID. is it there

Go to SM50, select the DIA process you want to kill and in menu line select "Administration -> Process -> Restart After Error -> No"
Then kill the PID from OS.
If it works, you can switch the process back to "Restart After Error -> Yes".

Q-:
When Error License Check problem accur? how to solve this problem it could happen we use temperarily licence key.

Break the mirrored disks and mount them to another AIX Unix server for a DR test
Ans-:
You should get a permanent license key. Then you will not have additional things to remember in a DR situation
yes you can also use the temporarily license key for DR but in future you need permanent

Q-:
When this type of error occur
Database error -55555 at OPC
> dsql_db6_open: Unable to find initial entry as expected
SAP system with backend DB2, operating system AIX IBM

ans-:
it just happened in one application server (happens to be the CI), so I performed a buffer reset with "/$SYNC" transaction.

Additionally, it might be worthy to check if the logs always points to the same work processes, in which case is advisable to kill them.

Q-: question regarding BDLS. I did a db refresh last month on a BW system and when I run the BDLS it took nearly 20k seconds to complete the conversion. This is normal. However recently I did a db refresh on the same system, and the bdls only run for 800 seconds. I checked the log slg1 and compare it to the previous month it is the same. So my question is, why the significant time decrease? The only change that I know was it used to be no application server, but now there are additional two. Although I dont think this can solve as bdls run using only one dialog process from the central instance and during the bdls running the application servers were down.
sol-:
you 100% that you chose the exact same source and destination logical system names?

You know that you have to at least convert ECC and BW logical systems names? so, this means running this twice on your BW system?

Are you sure that you have not forgotten to uncheck option "TEST run"?
Also read http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4796 for a very godd strategy to make BDLS run much faster.
