SAP Realtime Database Platform

Applicable Releases:

SAP NetWeaver BW 7.30 SP09

SAP NetWeaver BW 7.31 SP07

Sybase IQ Version 15.4

and higher

With this solution, the data volume of the frequently accessed online database can be kept

relatively low. Less frequently accessed data is archived in time partitions on the SAP near-line

storage solution. Data in near-line storage resides in a highly compressed state in cost-efficient

storage with fewer backups to reduce operational costs. As the technical installation steps are the same this SAP First Guidance document should

make an own created customer specific documentation obsolete. It is the complementary

documentation to the existing Notes and Installation Guides.

Please Note that the SAP-NLS Solution can be used with all supported Database Versions

supported by SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3x. The Existence of SAP HANA is not necessary.

The document is work in progress and not intended to be exhaustive, but it contains

everything to successfully implement the SAP-NLS Solution with Sybase IQ.

1. Implementation SAP-NLS Solution with Sybase IQ

1.1 Solution Overview

Documentation:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/60/cf63e1bbbb49429ee6c35e6ad03a45/conten

t.htm?frameset=/en/4c/75184b167821d1e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm

1.2 Checking the Pre Requisites

1.2.1 Relevant Notes/Information Note 1750249 - SAPBWNews NW BW 7.30 ABAP SP9

Note 1782744 - SAPBWNews NW BW 7.31 ABAP SP07

Note 1796393 - SAP BW near-line solution with Sybase IQ

Note 1737415 - Sybase IQ: Enable remote/secondary connect to Sybase IQ

The BW System you want to use must have either SP09 for BW 7.30 or SP07 for 7.31 applied. The

existence of BW on HANA is not required, as the SAP-NLS Solution works with every Database (unicode

enabled) supported by SAP NetWeaver 7.30 and higher.

The Sybase IQ must be implemented on a separate physical server. It is not recommended to install the

software on an existing server which held already other Database Instances, as IQ leverages the complete

CPU/Memory for its own usage. One IQ server can be used for multiple SAP-NLS implementations.

For the current timeframe the supported OS versions for the SAP-NLS solutions are Windows X64 and

Linux X86-64. Additional OS Versions are under Evaluation.

Please note that the Solution is not available for SAP NetWeaver 7.0x Releases, SAP ERP Releases based

on NetWeaver 7.0x and Non Unicode Systems. Therefore use the NLS Add-On from the Development

Partner PBS http://www.pbs-software.com

1.2.2 Default file system layout on the IQ server

Please provide for now the following file system layout on the designated IQ database server:

Server name: SAPNLS_SERVER

Database name: SAPNLS_DB

User name for SAP NLS schema: SAPNLS

Binary Installation Directory: /usr/sap/sybase/server/ # $SYBASE

Path for SYSTEM DB: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database

Path for SYSTEM LOG: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/log

Path for SYSTEM DBSPACE: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/system

Path for server MESSAGES: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/messages

Path for TEMPORARY Space: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/temp # IQ load

Path for TMP Space: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/tmp # IQ sort

Path for HTML Query Plans: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/html

Path for further DBSPACE: /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/NLSDBSPACExxx

All following creation scripts should refer to this file structure. Furthermore it is useful to create separate

partitions for the additional directories to prevent any file system overflow.

While the files for DBSPACE/TMP are defined static (and could also be raw devices), the following files or

directories are growing and need special attention: SYSTEM DB/LOG, MESSAGES and HTML.

Resulting Naming convention (this allows several different schemas in one IQ database):

User: SAPNLS

DBSPACE: NLSDBSPACE

Data: ../sapdata//data

Tmp: ../sapdata//tmp

2. Installation of the Components

2.1 Installation/Configuration of the Sybase IQ database

2.1.1 Sizing/Architecture/Scalability Overview

For a general sizing guideline see the following document:

http://www.sybase.com/files/Technical_Documents/Sybase_IQ_Sizing_Guide.pdf

Simplex Server Architecture

Simplex is a single instance of an SAP Sybase IQ server running on a single node (machine).

In a simplex configuration, the files may be located on a host machine or on a network storage device (or distributed between the host and the storage device).

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38159.1600/doc/html/rhi1334847

427020.html

Multiplex Server Architecture

Multiplex are multiple instances of SAP Sybase IQ servers running on multiple machines. SAP Sybase IQ supports read-write transactions from multiple servers in the multiplex.

Each server has its own temporary store and catalog store. The shared IQ Store is common to all servers.

The primary server, or coordinator, manages all global read-write transactions and maintains the global

catalog. The table version log (TLV log) stores information about DLL operations and communicates

information about new table versions to the secondary servers.

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38159.1600/doc/html/rhi1334847426786.html

Scalability

SAP Sybase IQs patented design permits databases to scale to contain many terabytes of data.

Its index-based structure allows the database to store your data in a much smaller space than the size of the raw input data, and access it far faster than a traditional relational database. These features make SAP Sybase IQ ideal for storing and accessing very large databases (VLDBs).

Database administrators need to understand the options and features that affect performance, and follow documented guidelines. While many default settings automatically provide the greatest efficiency, you may need to experiment with certain option settings for the fastest results, based on your configuration, your loading requirements, and your queries. Setting these options appropriately is necessary for top performance in any SAP Sybase IQ database, but is especially important as your database grows to the multiterabyte scale.

Online Help for Sybase IQ16 SP01

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?docset=/com.sybase.infocenter.help.iq.16.0.1/doc/html/

title.html&docSetID=1962

The upgrade process is identical as the installation process, see Chapter before.

Make sure the user sa is unlocked before you apply the SP01 Package. Furthermore the Installation

Routine will not detect an existing IQ installation; it will run as a fresh Installation.

2.1.4.1 Apply an one-off patch on top of SP01

Sybase IQ one-off patches are fixing temporary problems as intermediate solution, until the next mayor

Support Package will be available. If already a Patch is available, you can skip the manual procedure as

described and follow the procedure in Chapter 2.1.4

The one-off patch for SP01 (01.01) is fixing the following problems:

SwrID CR Description

------- ------ ------------------------------------------------------

SP01.01 735487 An update statement to update IQ table failed when the statement included the

IsNumeric function.

1> update t set a = '1' where isnumeric(a)=0 2> go Msg 7338, Level 15,

State 0: SQL Anywhere Error -728: Update operation attempted on non-updatable remote query

SP01.01 741466 Alter Table Add Default fails after INSERT into Quoted

Identifier Tablename Example:

CREATE TABLE "/TAB1"(COL1 int not null)

INSERT INTO "/TAB1" values (1);

ALTER TABLE "/TAB1" add COL2 int default 0

SP01.01 739459 If CESU8BIN was selected as collation to create the database, the resource could not

be registered properly. This is now resolved.

To Apply the Correction, please follow the following instructions:

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?docset=/com.sybase.infocenter.help.iq.16.0.1/doc/html/title.html&docSetID=1962http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?docset=/com.sybase.infocenter.help.iq.16.0.1/doc/html/title.html&docSetID=1962


September 2013 23

Stop the IQ server and the sybase control center (SCC) first

Unpack the TGZ file (AIX, Linux64) with tar xvf LinuxAMD64-iq160_ctrl01.01.tgz

Or Unzip the ZIP file (Win64) Win64-iq160_ctrl01.01.zip into a temporary directory on

your IQ server. Make sure the file properties (user: group) are correct.

Move to the temporary directory and copy the new binaries into the right directories in the $SYBASE

location.

$SYBASE/SCC-3_2/bin/scc.sh --stop

cd /data/software/sybase/IQ16_0/SP01.01

cd iq1600_sp01.01

cp -Rp * /data/sap/sybase/server/IQ-16_0

cd scciq-3_2

cp -Rp * /data/sap/sybase/server/SCC-3_2/plugins

nohup . $SYBASE/SCC-3_2/bin/scc.sh 2>&1 > scc-console.out &

Restart the IQ server and the SCC Instance

Now your Sybase IQ one-off patch on top of SP01 is applied and ready to use.

2.1.5 Upgrade from IQ from Version 15.4 to 16.0

If you started your Implementation with the Version 15.4 ESD#3 or earlier e.g. with the PBS NLS Add-On

and you want to upgrade to the latest Version with CESU-8 support, which is 16.0 SP01.01 you have to

upgrade the existing database software and the content of the database.

Detailed Upgrade procedure is described here:

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01825.1600/doc/pdf/iqmigwin.pdf

Update the database software as described in Chapter 2.1.3. Therefore you have to stop the IQ database

Stop the IQ database with

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/server/sapdata/>stop_iq

After the software update you will find a new directory in your $SYBASE root directory called IQ-16_0

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01825.1600/doc/pdf/iqmigwin.pdf


September 2013 24

Source the new IQ 16.0 database software

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/server>. IQ.sh

Check the .profile file in the user sybase home directory and the SYBASE.sh file for the correct

settings. The IQ.sh Profile contains the current setting for the correct IQ software Version.

Start the IQ database (for the Upgrade Process) with

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database>

start_iq @database/SAPNLSDB.cfg database/SAPNLSDB.db -iqro 1 -gm 1

Run the I-SQL Interface with

alter database upgrade;

Stop the IQ database with

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database> stop_iq

Start the IQ database again (in normal mode) with


start_iq @SAPNLSDB.cfg SAPNLSDB.db

Your database IQ is now upgraded to Version 16.0. As a final step apply the DB options again as described in Chapter 2.1.5.2


September 2013 25

2.1.6 Build and configure a new IQ 15.4/16.0 database At this point in time this building step is a manual process which contains steps directly on the server and

some steps via the I-SQL interface from your client PC.

In our example we installed Sybase IQ 16.0 on a Linux server with 16x4 Core CPU cores (necessary later

for the data stripping) and 256GB RAM. The Sybase IQ ODBC client is installed on the Windows client as

64-Bit application. The Software contains the Sybase Central 6.1 which can be used for the

Administration of the IQ database.

The Sybase Central Client picks the local language from your PC, so you see some screenshots in

German. Our used server is lt5006 and the SAP system SID is . The notation of the NLS

database follows the naming convention of a SAP database instance: SAPNLS_DB

Check the .profile file in the user sybase home directory and the SYBASE.sh file for the correct

settings. The IQ.sh Profile contains the current setting for the correct IQ software Version.

. /usr/sap/sybase/server/IQ-16_0/IQ-16_0.sh

cd /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database

2.1.6.1 Create the IQ database for NLS

To create the database instance for the NLS solution the process has to initialize with the start of a

default DB which allows creating the main database. This can be done with the option n followed by

the database instance name. This database is called utility_db.

The build process for 15.4 and 16.0 is identical and the Sybase Central 6.1 tool is usable with both

database Versions. More Details about the Database Creation with SQL is described here:

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01771.1600/doc/html/san1283555

474735.html

Log on with the user sybase and change to the sybase main directory

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database> start_iq n utility_db

Please note that the directory you started the utility_db is the root, where all other files which are

created in the DB creation are related to. So please make sure you start the temporary DB in the correct

directory /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database

Now that we started the default IQ database, we can use now the I-SQL Interface provided by the Sybase

Client to create the main database. This step can also be done via Sybase Control Center (SCC)

The default Port of the utility_db is 2638. If this port is occupied by other processes you can also

specify any other Port during the startup with the option -x tcpip{port=}

Start the on your local PC

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01771.1600/doc/html/san1283555474735.htmlhttp://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01771.1600/doc/html/san1283555474735.html


September 2013 26

With F9 you can call the Window for the connection profiles

This is now the first time to connect to the database via DBA/sql and the default Port 2638 to the

utility_db.

Now you can call the I-SQL interface by right-mouse-click on the database symbol SAPNLSDB-DBA


September 2013 27

In the I-SQL Interface paste the following SQL script for the creation of the main database.

The collation option CESU8BIN and encoding option CESU8 are only available in the latest 15.4 Patch

ESD#3 and 16.0 Sybase IQ Versions provided by SAP. The path can be created in an absolute or relative

relation. The file size specification might be necessary as well in the main database.

Assuming the utility_db is started in directory /usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database

/* ============================================================*/

/* create_database.sql */

/* Sybase IQ database instance "SAPNLSDB" - CREATE DB */

;

After the creation process is finished you can stop the utility_db and start the new created database

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database> stop_iq

To start the IQ database you will need a configuration file. You can copy the following example and put the

file SAPNLSDB.cfg to the database directory


start_iq @ SAPNLSDB.cfg SAPNLSDB.db


September 2013 28

2.1.6.2 start/stop the IQ database

With a short script where you paste this line in a command you can ease the startup

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database> start_SAPNLSDB

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# @(#)start_SAPNLS_DB

# start Sybase IQ database instance "SAPNLSDB"

# V.201320-01

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

start_iq @SAPNLSDB.cfg SAPNLSDB.db

Additional Information about start_iq can be found here:

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc00168.1510/html/iqutil/CHDFHBJB

.htm

To stop the IQ database you can use the following script:

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# @(#)start_SAPNLS_DB

# start Sybase IQ database instance "SAPNLS_DB"

# V.201320-01

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

dbstop -c "uid=DBA;pwd=sql;eng=SAPNLS_SERVER;dbn=SAPNLSDB"

With a short script where you paste this line in a command you can stop now the IQ database exclusively,

e.g. you have more than one IQ database installed one physical server

sybase@lt5006:/usr/sap/sybase/sapdata/database> stop_SAPNLSDB

2.1.6.4 Apply the DB Options for the IQ database

Paste the following SQL script into the I-SQL Interface for the creation of the main database.

These Values are based on the current experiences with the Sybase IQ database. To activate these

settings you have to restart the database.

/* -----------------------------------------------------------*/

/* @(#)options.sql */

/* Sybase IQ database instance "SAPNLSDB" - SET OPTIONS */

/* V.20130320-01 */

/* -----------------------------------------------------------*/

### main setting for the SAP-NLS solution set option public.allow_read_client_file='ON';

set option public.append_load='ON';

set option public.default_disk_striping='ON';

set option public.default_kb_per_stripe=128;

set option public.force_no_scroll_cursors='ON';

set option public.index_advisor='ON';

set option public.query_timing='ON';

set option public.temp_reserved_dbspace_mb=12000;


September 2013 33

2.1.6.5 Extend the IQ database (datafiles/temp)

Now the database has to be extended to use the optimum from the existing hardware resources like CPU

and RAM.

As a starting point we would normally split the data/tmp devices on a 50:50 basis as a starting point. Over

time we can add more devices for data and may at some point arrive at a 60:40 ratio based on usage,

content and query profiles of our user base.

The general rule is then to subtract 100-Gb from the available (raw) device size and to then create

([#cores] * 2) additional devices all of an equal size to consume the remaining free disk space in the disk

array.

This results in the following (raw) disk definition. However, this also works with a standard file system.

Please Note that this step will take some time depending on the hardware resources.

/* -----------------------------------------------------------*/

2.1.6.6 Check the status of the SAP Sybase IQ database

After you logged on with the I-SQL interface you can run the following procedure to check the status of

the SAP Sybase IQ database and the usage of the correct license. Please Note, that some of the optional

License Options might not active, as long as there are not used so far (e.g. IQ_LOB)

sp_iqstatus;

sp_iqlmconfig;

sp_iqcheckoptions;

sp_iqcheckdb 'allocation database';

sp_iqcheckdb 'dropleaks database';

sp_iqdbspace;

sp_iqdbspaceobjectinfo SAPNLSDB;

sp_iqfile SAPNLSDB;

The tmp files will be added to the existing main temp space, while data files are created additionally.

See also the different file extensions for the different file types.

Alternative you can create the user as well with the following script. In case the authorizations

read/write client file is not supported anymore by the server, use the role DBA.

/* -----------------------------------------------------------*/

/* @(#)user.sql */

/* Sybase IQ database instance "SAPNLSDB" - create USER */

/* V.20130320-01 */

/* -----------------------------------------------------------*/

create user SAPDB identified by '**********';

grant BACKUP, READCLIENTFILE, RESOURCE to SAPDB

grant DBA to SAPDB

If we have more than one System connect to the IQ database, the logon is handled differently to separate the access of the user data.
