[Kavitha Rajan]

Thank you Master.

 

I have a Basis issue and looking for a solution. I have completed standard ADS configuration and it is successful. Then the requirement changed to implement ADS for interactive forms. So, I started configuring the HTTPS to achieve this. ABAP side, everything is fine with ICM parameters and HTTPS is working. https://<abaphost>:<ICMhttpsport> is working. Now, Java side, SAP has ended their maintenance for JAVA Cryptographic tool kit and saying that it will work without this software.

 

I have configurations completed at Visual Admin. But https://javahost:javaport is not active. OSS Message has been with SAP for weeks. Java is not recognizing the certificates from ABAP side or its own cert - I assume this is the problem. Also In VA, --> web services security, the certificate I have loaded is not picking up. If anyone had similar issue and know solution, please share. System is CRM 2007(dual Stack), DB-Sql server 2005, OS-Windows 2003.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

Kavitha,

The key for your certs to work is to update your crypto libraries both abap and java stack to the latest one
increase the trace level in icm and what does the log say?

Shival,

 

SAP message number is 20023. (SAP Message Number : 0120050410 0000020023 2013 / In Processing by SAP). I have also attached diagtool logs in the message.

 

Ravi,

 

SAP mentioned that ADS will work without Java cryptographic tool kit in the same message. Also the software is not available at Service Market Place.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

Ravi/Shival,

 

I even created another OSS message to confirm about the Java cryptographic tool kit.

 

SAP Message Number : 0120050409 0000030375 2013 / Solution Confirmed. They mentioned same. With Abap crypto files and configuration, SAP is expecting this to work.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

Attaching the Diagtool trace file.

 

Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

[ravi chan]

On travel no access to comp,
Updating no harm and should be available , please search the mkt place software downloads search for sapcryptolib

This shd resolve the cert issue and also look the icm trace logs for the exact error and search the market place for the fix

[Punna Reddy P]

Once I downloaded the sapcryptolib files from market place .. If you can give some time I can give the step step to download the sapcryptolib ... actually little busy right now ...

Hi All,

 

I have already got SAPCRYPTOLIB files for ABAP. I only did not get Java cryptographic tool kit. Now also checked in SMP that the software is not available. Please see the attached screen shot.

[Kavitha Rajan]

HTTPS is active in ICM. No issue at ICM side.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

Another screen shot to show ICM services. I have issue only at Java side. Java is not identifying the certificates to use in Visual Admin--> Webservices security and also Key storage.

 

Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

[Rabindra Das]

Hi Kavitha

did you get the solution yet for your problem ?

did you get reply from SAP yet ?

Thanks
Rabi

Thanks 

Rabindra Das

[Kavitha Rajan]

Hi Rabindra Das,

 

They are trying with different options for Java to recognize the certificates. But it is still not working. Back and forth message is passed on. But we did not get solution as of now. :(

 

Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

Hi All,

 

I still haven't got any solution.

 

But I have another question that I am trying to find answer. Please help.

 

I am creating a ECC system similar to our production system. After base installation, do I have to install the add-on components (like Vistex), SP upgrade, Kernel upgrade etc before performing system copy from production (target similar to production level)?

 

Is there any other step that need to be done before copy like client copy, sgen? Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

It is ECC 6.0 SR2 with windows 2003/sql 2005 system.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Rabindra Das]

Hi Kavitha

Thanks for posting this nice query and with all the information

It is always recommended to be at same level of source system in target system before any system copy.

Sometimes some exceptions might be there.

If your target system is a brand new system you are building , then there is no need of any client copy

But if you are refreshing to your existing say QAS system , then you must take the backup of your Users.
Also there are some more backups like RFC destination backups .....There are some bunch of tables you need to take backup before you perform any db copy........

In your scenario, I don't think you need any backup of client at the moment.

if you have a DB refresh document then it must say   pre-db refresh , refresh and post db refresh steps

SGEN needs to be run after the DB COPY is performed in target system

Also importantly  Logical system Conversion (BDLS) needs to be run in target system

But if your source system and target system both are using same logical system then there is no need of it

Some clients use like this.

Hope this helps

thanks
Rabi

Thank you so much Rabindra Das. I used to refresh QAS system from production and I follow all steps which you mentioned. This is new system which I am building for our technical upgrade. First I am trying with ECC 6.0 SR2.

 

I thought, install the SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 using sapinst tool and copy from production?

1.First install ECC 6.0. SR2

2.Post installation steps needed like SP upgrade, kernel upgrade etc similar to production?- My question is this..is this step required? As per your reply: Yes, right? No client copy required, SGEN required? Any other step before copy from production?

3.Homogenous system copy from production followed by post copy steps.

 

I am not sure if I have to use SWPM, I have never used before. Also it looks like it only supports ECC 6.0 SR3 and up.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

Hi Kali,

 

I am not using the same Schema. Why do I need to keep same Schema? Please let me know.

 

I have refreshing QAS and SBX systems, they do not have same schema. Am I misunderstood your information. Kindly explain.

 

Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

Hi Rabindra Das,

 

Just to add few more information, as I have mentioned, I used to refresh QAS from production without any issue. But I posted this question in SCN. One person replied as below:

 

Please note that you should *not* install your target system before the system copy! For ECC systems, which are based on 7.0x, a refresh of the database is *not* supported. A refresh means that you have two already installed systems, and copy only the database content of one to another. You should perform a system copy instead of a refresh. During the system copy (with SWPM, which is supported for ECC 6.0 and should be used here), one of the phases is called the "Target System Installation". The target system installation will install your new system, and stop in the middle for you to load the database content of your production system (source system). You can consult the system copy guides at www.service.sap.com/instguides and download SWPM from www.service.sap.com/sltoolset. Please also see the note about SWPM:

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1680045

That is why I got confused. Now, I have stopped the installation and started looking for an answer, if I doing right method. Also not sure if SWPM supports ECC 6.0 SR2, about note only has ECC 6.0 SR3.

Please advise me.

 

Thanks,
Kavitha Rajan.

I appreciate all your help.

[Rabindra Das]

Hi Kavitha

I believe SWPM is supported from higher ECC version  ECC 6.0 SR3.

Here are my observations

 As you are building new system , you can follow two methods

   a.    Using SAPINST  , perform the system copy  , you will be fine.. It will be done in one installation

          This will be true for first setup... If again you want to refresh then its not needed

   b.    you can follow traditional  DB Copy method as I mentioned in earlier mail .

So don't get confused much.  you are going in right direction. Finish your ECC installation and perform the DB COPY ......

However , you can also download the latest system copy procedure of ECC60 where you will find some information.

Same schema can be used if your source and Target SIDs are same.....But its not possible in same network.

Thank you so much. I will continue with installation. Appreciate all your help.

 

Thanks and regards,

Hi All,

 

I have installed ECC 6.0 (Not started system copy yet) and trying to install CRM 2007 for the same purpose. I am unable to find j2sdk1.4.2 version that supports windows x64 and intel Xeon processor. I have been keep trying but unable to find it. Also found about SAP JVM with which we have to switch from vendor Java to SAP JVM, but I cannot directly install SAP JVM for brand new installation. There are lot of forums but none of them gave me exact version that supports Intel Xeon or x64. All Windows IA64 giving error that processor is not supporting. Where do I find 1.4.2 JDK for Windows 2003 x64 ? Anyone knows?

 

I checked note 716604 and 941595, still unable to find the correct version. Please help.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

Shival,

 

I tried that. I tried with Windows IA64 and it says this package is not supported for this processor. I hope I have to use this for X64 windows 2003 right? Eve4n tried AMD64, not working. Please help.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

Shival,

 

It is giving Windows Installer error "this installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor". I tried with patch 42 and also many other patches. All gives same error.

 

Thanks,

Hello Kavitha

You have to go to java archive on oracle web site. Will need to register to download. I can send you link when I get home. If you still can't download I can do it and send you link to download from my Dropbox.

Thank you all for the support. 1.4.2_41 AMD64 worked. I installed and SAP is also accepting. Thank you so much again.

Hi Rabindra das,

 

We are planning to upgrade CRM. So, building new SAP Sandbox environment.

Hi All,

 

Just thought to share this information so it can be useful to anyone. I completed base installation. Updated Kernel and copied the profile parameters. Performed a system copy from production. Support stacks and add-on installations got copied during system copy. Thanks to all of you.

 

I am trying to add the newly created SBX system in existing DEV-->QAS-->PRD transport path.

 

DEV-->QAS-->PRD
|

V

SBX

 

Transports that are released from DEV (has only one client - 400) needs to go to both QAS 400 and SBX 400 queue. I tried to achieve this but missing something so it is not working properly. All systems have only one client. Please let me know the procedure.

 

Using ZDEV transport layer from DEV to QAS and ZEC3 layer from DEV to SBX.

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.

[Kavitha Rajan]

I also need to add sbx2 from DEV just like SBX. Please help.

 

DEV -->QAS-->PRD

DEV-->SBX

DEV--> SBX2

 

Thanks,

Kavitha Rajan.
