Reason and Prerequisites
Last minute information regarding the installation
Solution
last minute information - will be updated if required
1. Components
The IDES package contains the following component:
SAP ERP 6.0 ECC 6.0
SR3 - unicode
It is the ABAP-AS which contains the data of the model company
in client 800.
An additional JAVA-AS - as a so called 'double stack' system -
can be installed, but will contain no IDES specific data.
Details regarding
ABAP-/JAVA-AS see chapter 5. Installation.
2. Hardware Requirements
MS-SQL ORACLE MaxDB DB2 Win/Unix AS/400
DB size
(GB): 190 290 240 180 ???
The DB2 UDB for Unix/Windows Installation bases on the auto-extend option of
Version 9.
3. License-/ contract conditions
The installation package is available for free for all customers and partners
with a valid license for SAP ERP 6.0
4. Ordering
Please use for eample the Software Catalog of the SAP Service Market- place
to order the installation package for IDES SAP ERP 6.0 SR3:
http://service.sap.com/swcat
5. Installation
Please use the standard Installation Guide to install the IDES system. The
installation procedure is more or less identical to the standard installation.
The only differences are the IDES specific Installation Master DVD that is part
of the shipment and three 8 GB DB-Export-DVDs instead of two DVDs. Please make
them available in parallel - on disk or with DVD drives - and read file
'Readme.txt' on root level of the first DB-Export DVD.
Attention: when
SAPinst asks for the three DB-Export DVDs, it asks first for DVD1, then for DVD3
and then for DVD2.
After the installation, start a complete load generation with transaction
SGEN. Ignore the pre-selection with "Regenerate the objects of the last run"
(with the message: "There are still 131.804 objects from an earlier selection to
be generated"), choose option "Generate All Objects of Selected Software
Components", 'Select All' components and 'Continue' until the start of the
generation. It will run several hours, depending on the hardware.
32 bit / 64 bit Support:
The standard procedure to install SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 now supports only 64 bit
environments (hardware and operating-system). And with this combination you can
install the ABAP-AS and the JAVA-As in one step as a - so called - 'double
stack'. The ABAP-AS contains the IDES model company in client 800, the JAVA-AS
will contain no IDES specific data. Therefore it is up to you, if you want to
install the JAVA-AS in addition. ABAP-AS and JAVA-AS is the default selection
from SAPinst. If you do not want or need the JAVA-AS, you have to de-select
it.
If your environment offers 'only' 32 bit support, you have to set up your
IDES ERP 6.0 ECC 6.0 system not as a normal installation but as a system copy.
And that means, you have to modify your DB-Export-DVDs on disk (see description
below). The 'System Copy' option allows - due to a missing IDES JAVA-AS Export -
to install only the ABAP-AS, a 'double stack' system is not possible. The
standard JAVA AS - if required - has to be installed as a separate instance.
How to prepare the three Export-DVDs for an installation as a System-Copy in
order to use 32 bit hardware:
Copy all three DB-Export DVDs to disc. They
have the structure
- DVD1
EXP1
DATA
DB
-
DVD2
EXP2
DATA
DB
- DVD3
EXP3
DATA
DB
EXP4 (not relevant)
..
EXP11 (not
relevant)
Now move all files from DVD2/EXP2/DATA to DVD1/EXP1/DATA
Now move all
files from DVD3/EXP3/DATA to DVD1/EXP1/DATA
Now modify file DVD1/EXP1/LABEL.ASC
Change the text line in the file with
an editor from
SAP:ECC:600SR3:EXPORT(1/11):Installation
Export:CDxxxxxxxx_1
to
SAP:MIG:*:EXPORT(1/:*:*
Now start sapinst from the Master-DVD with the option:
SAP ERP 6.0 Support
Release 3
Software Life-Cycle Options
System Copy
<Database Software>
Target System Installation
Central System
Based on AS ABAP
Central
System
and Next
This option allows still an installation on 32 bit hardware and/or 32 bit
operating systems.
When SAPinst asks for the 'Installation Method' choose
'Standard System
Copy / Migration (load based)'
When SAPinst asks for the 'Migration Export'
choose
the path to ../DVD1/EXP1'
The next steps are the same as for the 'normal' installation and described in
the standard installation guide.
6. Usage/User
The data of the IDES model company can be found in client 800. The
clients 810,811,812 are very small and contain examples for ALE scenarios.
In
the clients 000/001 you can logon with DDIC and SAP* with the password you have
defined at the beginning of the installation as 'Master-Password', in the
clients 8xx with the password 19920706 / 06071992 and in all clients with
IDADMIN / ides
The system already contains more than 20 languages. Use
transaction SMLT to check the status and set the system profile parameter
zcsa/installed_languages accordingly to use them.
7. Cross Component Information
The IDES ECC 6.0 SR3 system is part of an integrated IDES demo landscape
that consists of several other IDES SAP Business Suite components. From this SAP
internal landscape is also available for customers and partners: CRM 2007 and
SCM 5.1.
You will find a documentation how to connect these systems to each
other attached to this note soon.
Please note that IDES systems already
contain a number of Support Packages and the functionality of the system
landscape should already work right after the installation. You can import
additional Support Packages into the system. When you do so, you must check
wether there are any dependencies to other components in which you may have to
adjust the Support Package level as well.
It is always recommended to use the
latest update of the unicode Kernel.
8. Support
For general installation problems use the standard components - for
example - BC-INS-NT or BC-INS-UNX to create a customer message in the SAP
Service Marketplace:
http://service.sap.com/messageFor IDES specific problems
use component XX-IDES.
9. Business Functions
In this IDES system, the Business Function FI-CAX (Contract A/R + A/P) is
already activated. Because of this no additional business function, industry
solution etc. can be activated.
There is no possibility to reset this status
and to deactivate FI-CAX.
10. Last minute information
Expiring tickets/certificates:
If you get a (similar warning) directly after the logon:
"License
expiration date: 05.12.2008 (in 10 days)", please proceed
like
this:
-Execute report SSF_ALERT_CERTEXPIRE
-> As a result
you will see a list of already imported certificates
and their expiration
date. Tickets that are expiring soon are high-
lighted in red, tickets
that are already expired are highlighted in
yellow
-Execute transaction
STRUST to delete by expired and expiring tickets
Problems with System ID:
Please do not use ERP as SID for your IDES system. This will lead
to logon
failures once the system is installed.
During the installation tests we noticed two possible interrupts. In all
cases SAPinst will generate a popup message "Error occured while ..." and wait
for a reaction from you.
Possible interrupts:
1. Phase "RUN ABAP Reports"
For example: 'Executing ABAP report
RUTTTYPSET...'. When this step is executed there maybe a system overload due to
background jobs automatically started in parallel by the system. Wait some
minutes then press the 'Retry' button. Repeat this 'Retry' until the step was
executed successfully.
2. Phase "Import Abap"
With Oracle only: one or more Load processes may
fail, in the logfile you will find the error message: 'ORA-04031: unable to
allocate .... bytes of shared memory ...'. As a solution try 'Retry', or better
restart Oracle ('shutdown immediate' and 'startup') first and then 'Retry'.
