How to apply SAP patch on SAP server

Some people ask me how to apply SAP patch level on Production SAP system. Actually it is possible. But it is high risk task. It is better you apply them when no user is logging in to your system.

OK, here is the step by step.

1. Make sure that you have download all SAP patch you need to be applied.
2. Apply SAP Basis Component (SAP_BASIS - usually named SAPKBxxxxx) and Cross-Application Component (SAP_ABA - usually named SAPKAxxxxx) first. And also from my experience and some best practice, apply them on the same patch level. For example when you're applying SAPKB62059 then apply SAPKA62059 too.
3. Consult to your functional consultant and functional team before applying Logistics and Accounting component (SAP_APPL - usually named SAPKXxxxxx). I repeat this warning again. Consult first before applying because this patches will affect to your customizing setting. If you're not sure about this, then don't apply them.
4. Use DDIC user to apply and login to client 000. Start from your Development server.
5. Last thing, pray...

I hope this few tips will help you.

How to define backup strategy on SAP R3 based system

Backup your backup strategy ? Its sound cool...huh. But actually, this is hard thing to do. As SAP Basis which usually also work as DBA, you cannot decide this by yourself. You'll need to manage this through deal with other people from different department and also from your company management. May be you'll think like this.

Why do I have to get permission from other department ? Why not just from IT Manager and Company Management ?

This is complex job and all people on your company rely on your IT system. When this system is down, all of them will get the effect. All you need is to define precise backup strategy. Few things need to consider before deciding backup strategy such as :

1. How many hours that your company will compromise about downtime ? 1 hour ? 5 hours ? a days ? Check this !
2. How many hours do you need to restore your data ? Check your tape backup speed to restore. Do this regularly for example once in 3 months.
3. How many budget do you have to perform this backup strategy ? Backup tape and backup drive also has its limitation on read and write activities.

This just few things need to consider. You can found differently on your company. Depend on your company policy.

System Copy with Oracle 10g from 64-bit to 32-bit on Windows E-mail Print PDF

Following procedure helps you to do a system copy from a 64-bit to 32-bit hardware with Windows/Oracle Platform.

Introduction To System Landscape

When we design the landspace for a SAP Project, generally we prefer to have same platform for Development, Test and Production system.

This includes,

• Hardware (32-bit or 64-Bit and also IA64, X64, or Unix 64 Bit platforms)
• Operating System
• Database
• R3 Kernel

This helps, system administrators to identify system related problems causes functional problems.

For example, if a 64-Bit Kernel for Netweaver 700 on Windows/Oracle causes a problem, you cannot simulate it on your Test system if it is a 32 Bit platform.

Also you have to make sure that the kernel patch levels are all same on all systems.

System Copy Experience with 64-bit to 32-bit

Environment

Recently, one of our Customer asked us to copy Production System to their Test System.

Here is the systems environments:

Production System (Source System)

Component	Version
Hardware	64-bit Intel Xeon (x64)
Operating System	64-bit Windows 2003 R2 SP1
Database	Oracle 10.2.0.2 64-bit
SAP Kernel	700 64-bit PL 133

Test System (Target System)

Component	Version
Hardware	32-bit Intel Xeon (x86)
Operating System	32-bit Windows 2003 R2 SP1
Database	Oracle 10.2.0.2 32-bit
SAP Kernel	700 32-bit PL 72

Procedure

Here is the brief procedure. For details, please download System Copy Guides from http://service.sap.com/instguides

1. Stop Production System to copy files or use a recent online/offline backup to copy database files from production to test syste
2. Run "alter database backup controlfile to trace" on source database to get control file creation script.
3. Generate new cntrl.sql and run on target system with modified paths
4. Recover if backup is online via "recover datbase using backup controlfile until cancel;"
5. After recovery shutdown database on target with "shutdown immediate". Do not use "shutdown abort"
6. cd ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin on target system with adm
7. sqplus "/as sysdba"
8. SQLPLUS> startup upgrade
9. SQLPLUS> @utilrp.sql
10. SQLPLUS> shutdown immediate
11. SQLPLUS> startup
12. SQLPLUS> @utlrp.sq
13. If databaase scheme name is different from SAPSR3 on both systems, then you've to change dbs_ora_schema environment value to the one on Source System.
14. If schema name is other than SAPSR3, than you have to re-configure OPS$ me. For this please check the reference section which gives OPS$ mechanism notes.
15. Check connection with "R3trans -d"
16. Start SAP System and apply, post-copy procedures.

That's it.

Hope it helps you to understand that it is not necessary to use R3load Procedure even platforms are different in bit level.
