Hello,

Every time that Livecache is started the report SLCA_LCK_SYNCHOWNERS is executed.

Starting the livecache with the different start options (LC10, report RSLVCSTART, from O.S level) this report is always executed?

Regards.

Hi experts,

I am trying to take a complete backup of one of my livecache database from DBA planning calender. It is failing with below error.

We have applied Support Pack 09 to SCM 7.01 System. My question is do we need to apply latest patch for LiveCache as well. If yes where can I find the details. I checked PAM but it was not helpful or I was missing something. I have attached ST22 dump file.

Source: SCM 7.01 SP08

Source Live Cache: 7.7.07   BUILD 040-123-244-640

Target: SCM 7.01 SP09

We have not applied any patched to LiveCache.

/n/sapapo/om17 --> Consistency Check LiveCache - APO DB --> Execute; It throws Runtime Error.

Check Done so far:

LC10 --> Able to start, stop LiveCache

DB59 --> All good

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am trying to create a new SCM quality system by making a copy of production system using backup/restore. I am a basis person and this is my first time working on SCM system. Please note that we want to copy both SCM database and also the data in livecache database. The SIDs for both SCM and Live cache instance are changing. I have read multiple notes (1015489, 886103, 877203, 457425, 1030857, 1349272 etc) and some GREAT POSTS in this forum BY NATALIA KHLOPINA. Thanks to this info, I have done the following so far:

SCM version is 7.0 SP 11 and Livecache version is 7.7.7.

I first copied over the SCM database using backup restore.

Installed the SCM target system with the new SID

Installed Livecache instance for target system (on a separate host than SCM) using swpm

Then I initialized the maxdb instance via DB manager

then I did restore and initialize using the full backup that I had taken of source livecache system via DBM GUI (pretty much steps in note 457425)

Then ran the following command : load_systab -u superdba,admin

(ran into some issues in between but resolved one by one like upgrading kernel, re-restored the db afer change default_code to Unicode etc )

Then in LC10, LCA -  I registered LCAPPS

Then in LC10, I did the integration configuration for LCA connection (it was blank due to some reason after the copy). Also reentered the u/p for LDA and LEA connections.

The LC10 connections are coming up green to livecache

Firstly, can you verify the steps above are correct so far ?

Secondly, I am trying to follow the notes 1015489, 886103, 877203, 457425 and 1030857, 1073954 to do post copy steps and have the following issues/questions:

1) In note 1015489 (connection problems after system copy),  it says to run report SLCA_GET_SYSNAME to get system name in livecache. When I do so, It says "Table for system names does not yet exist". Is that normal ( I am on scm 7.0 SP11) ? If I go to dbmcli and try to drop table APPSYSPARAM or APPSYSNAME, it says table does not exist ?? How do I verify if correct system name is registered in livecache?

2) Note 886103 (system landscape copy for SCM) -- It says to change logical system name in /SAPAPO/ORDMAP but this table is not active in my dictionary !! same for table CIFRFCDES and table /sapapo/cifdistr does not exist ??

3) Note 886103 says that if you want to rename the user SAPR3 to SAPEL1, you run some dbmcli commands. Is this necessary ?? my Livecache id is changing from LIP to LIQ, so shall I change it ? The domain.users currently shows control , superdba and also SAPLIP user and SAPLIQ user (SAPLIQ user only started showing up after I registered LC APPS ). Do I need to do anything else or verify something ?

4) Note 877203 once again talks about SAPEL1 user and I am not sure if I need to run these steps or not

5) Note 1030857 tells to run this report zz_update_acckey to correct the external keys. Is this necessary even if we run BDLS ? Shall I ask the SCM functional person ?

6) Note 1073954 (effects of changing the standard livecache user) -- How do I know if I need to run this ? my livecache tables like /sapapo/ordmap are stil owned by SAP<OLDSID> but  in LC10 connections I have changed the three connections to use SAP<NEWSID> user and the connetions are green and connection tests in db59 are also successful !!.

The note says that "Only change the standard liveCache user if the system does not contain any data or if you initialize the liveCache directly after the change"

My copied over livecache does contain data and If I initialize the livecache after changing this user id, I guess I will loose the data. So, Can I skip this step as long as connections in LC10 and db59 are working okay ?

7 ) How can I verify that APO optimizer is also installed in Production system. I thought it was optional to install it and I don't know if this client is using it ?

Sorry for this long long post. Hope someone out there has patience to clarify my doubts.

Thanks

Hello Experts,

Whenever i execute LC10, i see 3 DB connections - LCA, LDA and LEA.

I do have some basic questions which i couldnt find answers for:

1. How to find out which DB connection is used in the system - LCA, LDA or LEA.

Or all the three will be used for LC to be functional?

2. If only LCA is used, how to uninstall or remove the connections for others?

Thanks,

Subbu

We have applied Support Pack 09 to SCM 7.01 System and updated LiveCache according to SAP Note 1751103. But still we are getting same error when we are trying to start LiveCache using program RSLVCSTART --> LCA

I am trying to perform the SAP SCM migration from AnyDB to HANA DB.

During the import configuration I get the below error popup.

"AFL__SYS_AFL_LCAPPS_EXECUTE , AFL Role does not exist. This role is automatically created during the installation of SAP liveCache Applications (SAP LCA). Proceed with the installation of SAP liveCache Applications following the description in the guide 'Installation and Upgrade Information SAP HANA Installation Guide with Unified Installer', chapter 'Installing SAP liveCache Applications (SAP LCA) on a SAP HANA System'. This guide is available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://help.sap.com/hana_appliance,under 'Installation and Upgrade Information SAP HANA Installation Guide with Unified Installer'. "

I have deployed the LCAPP LiveCache component as described in the SAP HANA GUIDE " SAP HANA Update and Configuration Guide"

Steps :

1. 1.Open the SAP HANA lifecycle manager user interface.
2. 2.Choose Add LiveCache Applications (LCApps).
3. 3.Specify the required entries by following the instructions in the wizard.

I am unable to overcome this issue and go ahead with the integrated LiveCache scenario.

Current HANA DB Version : 1,0 SP06 Rev 66

LCAPP component deployed  : IMDB_LCAPPS100_70_1-20010426

Kindly let me know how i could resolve this issue and proceed with the system migration.

Hello,

We have a SCM 7.0 system with EHP 3 with a liveCache (MaxDB 7.9.08) .

If I click the button "liveCache Monitoring with DBA Cockpit" in the TX LC10, I get the following error for each database connection (LCA, LDA and LEA) :

In the TX SM21 you can see the error message below:

     Database error -10709 at CON

     > Connection failed (RTE:[1] cannot connect to server socket)

Im Trace-File dev_w0 I found the following:

     Connect to LCA as SAPLCD with <IP-Address>-LCD

     Try to connect as SAPLCD/<pwd>@<IP-Address>-LCD on connection 1 ...

     *** ERROR => Connect to database failed, rc = -10709 (Connection failed (RTE:[1] cannot conn

     ***LOG BY2=> sql error -10709 performing CON [dbds         919]

     ***LOG BY0=> Connection failed (RTE:[1] cannot connect to server socket) [dbds         919]

I would like to mention, that I have maintained the liveCache Integration as follows:

     Name of Database Connection: LCA (or LDA or LEA)

     liveCache Name: LDA

     liveCache Server: here I tried with the IP-address and also with the physical hostname, but none of them worked

     DBM User:

          User Name: CONTROL

          Password:    xxx

      Standard liveCache User:

          User Name: SAPLCD

          Password:    xxx

Furthermore, I have checked at database-level, the liveCache is up and running and the passwords are correct:

     dbmcli -d LCD -u control,<password> db_state

     OK

     State

     ONLINE

     dbmcli -d LCD -u saplcd,<password>

     dbmcli on LCD>

But in the TX LC10 the buttons "Start liveCache" and "Stop liveCache" are watermarked.

I have already tried to restart the liveCache and the SCM-system, but without success.

In my opinion the cause is, that the liveCache cannot be reached from the SCM-system.

Could you please advise?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind regards,

Noémi

Hi,

I would need to do SCM 7.0 EHP3 upgrade from SCM 7.0.

Is it possible to upgrade livecache also to 7.9 in the SUM upgrade SUM along with SCM? if yes, please let me know the steps.

As of now, I have done livecache upgrade manually.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

We are testing migration of SCM to SCM on HANA with integrated LiveCache in our lab box & now migrating

external LiveCache to Integrated LiveCahce migration.We have done all the steps upto step 5 as specified in the note 1825703. Not able to validate step number 6. We dont see APS_ORDER_GET_DATA under "Catalog => Public Synonyms" in the SAP HANA Studio and also we dont see role AFL__SYS_AFL_LCAPPS_EXECUTE. The LC installation step number 5 completed successfully without any error. The HANA DB connection (created in step 4) from DBACOCKPIT is working fine LCA,LDA and LEA.

Thanks

HI,

We have an issue with the SAP APO Standard Background Job "/SAPAPO/OM_REORG_DAILY".

2. Job Terminating with the error as below.

Please help.

Hi All,

Background job for program "/SAPAPO/SDRQCR21" is failing in SAP SCM 7.0 system due to below error message.

There was no dump or any error message in SM21 at the time job failure or durig the job run. I have also checked the live cache availability and live cache was up and running during this time. Trace log shows that SCM system was able to connect live cache successfully.

Another blog Report /sapapo/sdrqcr21 - problem accessing liv... | SCN   talks about the simliar problem, but I could not see function module /SAPAPO/OM_PEG_CAT_GET_ORDERS, so not sure whether it is relevant or not.

Kindly request you to suggest on this.

Hello I am trying to figure out if its possible to copy the entire database of SAP at a specific cut off day/time and add daily.  After the database is backed up on a Friday at 7PM, Can you take the data from the weekend and Monday and add it to the original back up? Then again Tuesday and so on?

Hi Experts,

We are planning to refresh one of our old test SCM system with production data. Versions are as below.

Target SCM - SCM 7 EHP2. Target LC - 7.7.07

Source SCM - SCM 7 EHP3. Source LC - 7.9.21

For SCM version part I think target will automatically get the source version after ABAP system refresh. But for LC according to note 457425 versions should be same on source & target. I am planning to install LC 7.9 on target server then upgrade patch to 7.9.21 & then restore the backup from production.

So if i follow this course of action still do I need to follow the step1 'Select the menu option Instance -> Install' from DBMGUI or I can directly go to backup restore from production.

Also I am taking a complete LC backup from production using db studio. So I think I need to restore it again using DB studio only. Note 457425 is giving steps for DBMGUI so can I get the simillar steps for dbstudio anywhere?

I am taking a complete backup of production. So is there any specific requirement while taking a backup for LC refresh to restore on other system than the same database.

Kindly let me know if you have any inputs on these queries as I am bit confused at this point for this refresh activity

Thanks

Amar.

I am working with a customer who is replatforming from Physical to Virtual.  They completed their sizing exercise, but for liveCache, the sizing came back with some large numbers.  They anticipate as much as 56,000 SAPS needed for liveCache, and as many as 48 CPUs required.

I have been reading over various notes and documents in regards to liveCache system requirements and sizing.  I am looking for some experiences people have with virtualizing liveCache, especially in large systems, with large SAPS and high utilization.

Is there any formal documenation in regards to virtualizing liveCache, and do others often recommend liveCache to remain Physical?

Thanks for any advice, experiences, or help with this topic.
