Install Apache Tomcat 6.0.32 (Linux)

1) Download the Tomcat software from the location below,

 http://apache.opensourceresources.org/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.32.tar.gz

2) Login to Putty and sudo to user "otxuser" (used to run application) and makesure JAVA_HOME environment variable is setup.




3) Change the permission of the file downloaded to be executable.
# chmod a+x apache-tomcat-6.0.32.tar.gz

4) Change to the directory in which Tomcat is to be installed.
# cd /home/otxuser

5) Run the self-extracting binary.
# tar xvfz apache-tomcat-6.0.32.tar.gz

6) Tomcat is installed into its own directory.

Path: /home/otxuser/apache-tomcat-6.0.32

7) Adapt the default Port Number by editing

/home/otxuser/apache-tomcat-6.0.32/conf/server.xml.

8) Shutdown Tomcat
# ./shutdown.sh



9) Start Tomcat
# ./startup.sh

# ps –ef | grep tomcat

Add remote Oracle Database in DBACOCKPIT

Follow the below steps to add a remote oracle database in DBACOCKPIT.

Scenario:

System A wants to have the database information of System B added in DBACOCKPIT (System A).System A – DS1

System B – QE1

Steps:
1. Update the tnsnames.ora file at the below locations,

Application Server of System A:

/usr/sap/DS1/SYS/profile/oracle

&

Database Server of System A:

/oracle/DS1/112_64/network/admin

QE1,QE1.WORLD=

  (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS =

          (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)

          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (HOST = <hostname>)

          (PORT = <listener_port>)

        )

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA =

       (SID = QE1)

       (GLOBAL_NAME = QE1.WORLD)

    )

  )

2. Make sure tnsping QE1 is working fine from the database server & application server (if full oracle client is installed - if only instant client is installed then tnsping would not be available),

SSO to CRM WebUI with user credentials of SAP GUI

Follow the below steps to implement the SSO to CRM WebUI via, SAPGUI for Windows.

1) Implement Note: 1467488

With this note the ABAP report BSP_WD_APPL_STARTER gets an additional checkbox which enables the single sign-on mechanism. The SAP GUI user credentials will be used for the WebClient UI session as well.

This note has got the following manual steps to be performed.

TCode: SE38

Program: BSP_WD_APPL_STARTER

Goto -> Text Elements -> Text Symbols

Create the text symbol 009.

Short Text: Single sign-on

Activate your change.

TCode: SE91

Display the message of message class BSP_WD.

Create the message 027.

Short text in EN: The service '&1' is inactive. Use transaction SICF for activation

Save the message.

Once the above manual steps are performed, implement the SAP Note via, SNOTE.

2) Create a new variant ZSAP_CRMUI for the report BSP_WD_APPL_STARTER with the below settings,

BSP Application: CRM_UI_START

In Client: <xxx>

New Browser Window: <Check Mark>

Single sign-on: <Check Mark>

3) Goto tcode SE93 to make the changes shown as below to CRM_UI transaction.

In the default Values section,

Name of Screen Field: D_SREPOVARI-VARIANT

Value: ZSAP_CRMUI

4) Make sure the below parameters are in place,

login/create_sso2_ticket = 2

login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1

Update SAP Kernel in Linux / Oracle

Prelimiary Steps:

     

      1) Stop SAP

     

      2) Kill all processes of SAP

     

      3) Stop DB

Extract Kernel:

1)      Location of Kernel SAR Files: /<Any Location>/Kernel_<xx>

2)     Make directory to extract the Kernel files.

      mkdir Kernel<xx>

3)      ./SAPCAR –xvf DBATL<>_<>.SAR -R ./Kernel<xx>

4)      ./SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXEDB_<>.SAR -R ./Kernel<xx>

5)      ./SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXE_<>.SAR -R ./Kernel<xx>

Replace Kernel:

1)     cp –af /<Any Location>/Kernel_<xx>/Kernel<xx>/* /sapmnt/<SID>/exe/

2)      cd /sapmnt/<SID>/exe

3)      ./saproot.sh <SID> [Note: Execute this as user root]

Start DB and then Start SAP.

If SAP won't come up try the solution provided below in the APPENDIX.

APPENDIX:

Make sure after the Kernel update all of the below locations are of same Patch Level.

LOCATION 1: /sapmnt/<SID>/exe

LOCATION 2: /usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/exe

You would have replaced the kernel at LOCATION 1, but the kernel at LOCATION 2 will still remain at old level which will prevent the access to database. So replace the kernel at LOCATION 2, and then try start SAP it should work.
