Prerequisites
You have installed and downloaded all the required medias for EHP3 SAP CRM 7 ABAP. This activity will be executed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and DB2 database environment.
Basically, below files are required to complete the activity,
• Windows Server 2008 R2
• DB2 database
• Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM)
• EHP3 SAP CRM 7 installation export for ABAP
• Kernel, SL Controller
You must also ensure the hardware (RAM, CPU, hard disk space, swap) are met with the SAP recommendations (You have to read the master and installation guide)
Execution
1. Launch the SWPM installer and navigate to the following tree,
SAP Business Suite 7i 2013 Support Release 1 > EHP3 for SAP CRM 7.0 ABAP Support Release 1 > IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows > SAP Systems > Application Server ABAP > Standard System > Standard System
2. Choose Custom.
3. On the next screen, click OK to log off. Wait for a few seconds, then log in back.
4. Define the SAP System ID (SID).
5. Enter the DNS domain name for the SAP system to calculate the FQDN (fully qualified domain name). If not, just uncheck and click on Next.
6. Enter the unicode kernel directory.
7. Define the Master Password.
8. Our installation is in Local Domain. Click Next.
9. If you are using the same password as Master Password, just click Next. Else, define a different password for Operating Users password.
10. Enter the database name (will be the same as SID).
11. Click Next.
12. Click Next again.
13. Click Next to accept the default DB2 software location directory. Else, you can maintain a different directory.
14. Click Next (for the same password as Master Password – If not, enter a new password specifically for database administrator).
15. Do the same as step number 14.
16. Click Next.
17. Click Next.
18. Locate the installation export folder. (sorry! we accidentally deleted the screenshot)
19. Locate the DB2 database folder. (sorry! we accidentally deleted the screenshot)
20. Accept the default value of database communication port. Click Next.
21. Locate the DB2 CLI and JDBC driver.
22. Specify the DB2 database drives. In this activity, we have only 1 drive (C:/), so the selection will be greyed out.
23. Specify the DB2 database memory.
24. Specify the minimization of database size.
DB2 Data Compression
Tables are compressed using DB2’s (static) row compression during installation. As of DB2 V9.7, indexes are also compressed using DB2 index compression. In addition, as of DB2 V9.5, the global compression option is set to YES, that is, row compression is enabled for tables that are created after the installation. If you want to use DB2 row and index compression, make sure that you have a valid license for this function. If you have purchased your DB2 license from SAP (an SAP OEM license), DB2 row and index compression is already part of your license agreement.Note: If you do not want to use data compression now, you can activate the global compression option later using the DBA Cockpit. In addition, you can compress single tables (including indexes) later.
Deferred Table Creation
Empty tables consume a considerable amount of disk space. With deferred table creation, tables that do not contain any data are not created on the database until the first data is inserted. The table creation at INSERT is entirely transparent to the application. You can use the DBA Cockpit (transaction DBACOCKPIT –> Space –> Virtual Tables) to reverse this status and create the empty tables that have not yet been created.Note: If you do not want to use this feature now , you can remove empty tables from the database by using the DBA Cockpit (transaction DBACOCKPIT –> Space –> Virtual Tables).
25. Specify the storage management and tablespaces.
26. Specify to use Declustering / Depooling option for optimization of SAP Business Suite.
Table declustering / depooling is the process of converting SAP cluster and pool tables to transparent database tables. For more information, see SAP note 1892354.
Select Do not decluster/depool ABAP tables in the following cases:
– You want to install the target system without using declustering / depooling.
– The table types of your target system are the same as in the source system.Select Force declustering/depooling of all ABAP tables if you want to decluster / depool all ABAP tables in your target system. To compensate for the increased space consumption of your declustered / depooled SAP system, we recommend that you activate database compression features as described in SAP note 1892354.
27. Specify the database load import parameter. The load parameter is based on the CPU hardware resource. Normally, 1 CPU can be use to process 2-3 database import load.
28. Enter the PAS & ASCS instance number value.
29. Accept the default value (or change to value you desired) and click Next.
30. Click Next.
31. Enter the information of SLD destination (We set to No SLD Destination because no SLD is configured in the user’s landscape now)
32. Click Next to unpack the archives.
33. We choose not to install the Diagnostic Agent for now. You can select the option to install it. Click Next.
34. The parameter summary screen. Before you hit the installation button, ensure to double check the parameters you defined earlier. Once confirmed, you can start the installation.
35. The installation is now begin. Depending on hardware resources (CPU, RAM, abap loads and etc..) , the installation will take around 5-7 hours (or less) to be completed. You can take coffee now and monitor the progress closely.
36. Complete!
Note
You will be receiving a key ID during the execution. Please store and keep a backup of this key.
The secure storage will be encrypted with the following key:
Key ID: xx
Key Value: xxxxxxxxxxxCaution: Before choosing OK, make a backup of the Key ID and of the -character Key Value, and keep it in a secure place for disaster recovery.
When you are in the process of system installation and want to use this system as source for a system copy or system rename, you must provide this backup to restore access to the encrypted data in the copied system.
Choose Cancel to return to the secure storage dialog without change.
