2. Pre-requisites.
2.1. Installing the SAP system (central and database instance)

The ECC System (Central instance and database) have to be successfully installed.

2.2. Checking and monitor the database freespace.

Check database freespace with DB02 and use brtools to add new files for tablespaces:
SYSTEM, PSAPECC and PSAPECC640.

2.3. Checking transport directory freespace.

Check freespace in the /usr/sap/<trans_directory

In red the space used in the transport directory.

2.4. Turning off archive log mode

For several operation here (except brbackup and or brarchive test and configuration) its better to deactivate
archivelog mode (performances are better and no risk to have an archival stuck.

3. Before starting the SAP System.

3.1. Checking / Updating the SAP Kernel.
At the end of the oracle installation you will be prompted for starting SAP instances and an RFC logon is
performed onto the SAP system. Updating with the new kernel patch could help you to solve some problems.
If your kernel is at an earlier release you can have several possibilities of error with sapstart.

Work process are started but shutting down after starts.

RFC logon could not be executed.
Start profile was not found
.

3.1.1. Checking Kernel release.

For V1 Systems, SAP kernel 6.40 has to be at patch level 129.

How to check kernel level:
Logon to se AIX server with user <sid>adm.
Use command disp+work , and check displayed values.

3.1.2. Updating kernel to patch 129.

Check the new sap kernel target (patch level 129 for V1 systems).
Check the new kernel location.
Logon to your AIX server with root user.
Stop completely your sap system (+saposcol).
Go into your sapmnt<SIDW directory: cd /sapmnt/<SID>
Rename the kernel directory to old.exe: mv exe exe.old
Create une new directory /sapmnt/<SID>/exe (mkdir exe).
Check directory permission (should be 755).

Go into the new kernel location.

Copy the new kernel files to the new exe directory (cp p * /sapmnt/<SID>/exe).
Execute the script saproot.sh (in exe directory: ./saproot.sh)
This script give all necessary owner and permission to the kernel files.
Check the new kernel release by usin (disp+work).

3.1.3. Installing the SAP License

Logon to service.sap.com under the following link and ask a new license for your system:

each of the node.

3.2. Checking instance profile parameters values.

3.2.1. Checking / Importing Instance profile.

Be sure to have a sufficient number of work processess (DIA=8, BTC=4)

Make an import of the SAP profile to be sure that the view displayed in SAP is in phase
with the profile at the OS Level.
To do that:
RZ10 Goto Menu Utilies Import profiles Of active server.
Check all values contained in instance and default profiles.

3.2.2. Checking parameters rdisp/bufrefmode

Parameter Description Buffer Refresh Mode:

Value: sendon,exeauto tells the R/3 System to log all changes

Value: sendoff,exeoff deactivates the buffer synchronization.

The default setting sendon, exeauto means that the buffer synchronization is activated (all changes are
logged).

sendon means that changes to buffered objects are logged in the table DDLOG

exeauto means that the local buffer is brought up to the newest state by cyclical
processing of the new DDLOG records.

This parameter have to be added in the DEFAULT.PFL profile.

4.13.3. Schedule DB13 jobs

If control-M is not used, use db13 to schedule, backup, dbcheck and CBO statistics.
Control will only be used starting from V2 system (for V1, only prod and pre-production systems are using it).

Check the specific recommendation for your backup policy.

Here is an DB13 exemple on V1 project ECC system.

4.13.4. Oracle archiving (changing generated archive name for production, preproduction
and maintenance systems).
TO DO ONLY FOR PREPROD and PROD systems.
To meet the backup requirement for Pre-production and production environnements, you have
to modify the archive name generated at each log switch in the /oracle/<SID>/oraarch
directory.
The archive policy is the following: generated archives are zipped and moved to ora_zipped
directory under ../oraarch and externalized on another server.
3 days archive files are always keeped locally (and copied) to able to quickly restore.
If a restore is needed, always asks the infrastructure team to do it.
Modifying archive name for Preprod and prod systems.
1 Modify the init<SID>.ora :

Add entry :

*.log_archive_format='<sid>db_<SID>_arch_%t_%s.arc'

Modify the line :

*.log_archive_dest='/oracle/<SID>/oraarch/<SID>arch'

Replace by :

*.log_archive_dest='/oracle/<SID>/oraarch'
