Network Options [page 38]Do you plan to take advantage of SAP IQ distributed query processing? Distributed query processing can benefit from an optional high-speed interconnect. Use scalable interconnect technology to connect multiplex nodes.

Product Compatibilities [page 39]Information about the compatibility of SAP IQ with other products.

Planning Checklist [page 40]As you plan your installation, record your decisions on the planning checklist. Refer to the checklist when you respond to installation prompts.

5.1 Installation Types

Decide which installation type you need. You can install SAP IQ as a server or install only the software components that allow client connections to an SAP IQ server.

To install SAP IQ server components and the administration tool, install SAP IQ Server Suite. To install the components required for client connections to an SAP IQ, install the SAP IQ Client Suite. Record your choice in the planning checklist for future reference.

You can also choose to install certain components from either installation type. See Typical or Custom Installation? [page 18]

In this section:

Do I Need the SAP IQ Client? [page 16]

SAP IQ Installation and Update Guide for UNIX (HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Solaris)Plan the Installation PUBLIC 15

If you develop applications to access data on an SAP IQ server, and your client application resides on a different platform from the SAP IQ server, you must install the appropriate SAP IQ client.

Virtualized Environments [page 17]SAP IQ is supported on virtual machine environments, such as VMWare vSphere, with some restrictions.

Related Information

Served License Deployment Model [page 24]SAP IQ Database Administration Tool [page 20]Typical or Custom Installation? [page 18]SAP IQ Server Components [page 18]SAP IQ Client Components [page 19]Planning Checklist [page 40]

5.1.1 Do I Need the SAP IQ Client?

If you develop applications to access data on an SAP IQ server, and your client application resides on a different platform from the SAP IQ server, you must install the appropriate SAP IQ client.

Basically, you need an SAP IQ client installed on each machine where client applications reside. When installed on the SAP IQ server, the SAP IQ server can access SAP IQ on a remote server. For the contents of the SAP IQ Client Suite, see SAP IQ Client Components [page 19].

These examples will help you choose the right client products for your hardware and O/S platform.

If you are ... You need ... For example ...

Developing applications on one platform to access SAP IQ server on another platform.

An SAP IQ client on each platform where the client applications reside.

If you develop client applications on the Windows platform to access data in an SAP IQ server on Linux, install:

● SAP IQ client on Windows

Running queries against remote data sources. Queries may combine data from two SAP IQ databases on different platforms.

An SAP IQ client on the platform where you will run queries. In this case, you might install an SAP IQ server and an SAP IQ client on the same machine. Remote data accessed through the client will be queried as a proxy table.

If you plan to run queries on your Linux server but access data stored on both the Linux server and an HP server, install:

● SAP IQ client on Linux

Developing a web client application. An SAP IQ client on the application server's machine, not the machine where the browser runs.

If you have a web client application on HP that queries the server on Linux, but you run the app through a browser on a Windows system, install:

● SAP IQ client on HP


Plan the Installation

5.1.2 Virtualized Environments

SAP IQ is supported on virtual machine environments, such as VMWare vSphere, with some restrictions.

● The virtual machine environments must be officially certified and approved by the corresponding operating system platform vendor.

● The operating system running in the virtual machine is already officially certified by SAP for SAP IQ. If an issue cannot be reproduced, then the customer may be asked to reproduce the problem running natively on the certified operating system, without the use of such virtualization systems.

● The extent of support does not cover performance. SAP does not guarantee the performance of SAP IQ products running on virtual machines.

SAP IQ licenses are valid for both physical and virtual environments. However, please note that dependent on the contract terms under which you purchased your licences you may not be covered to licence SAP IQ virtually. If in doubt please contact your SAP account team to check.

SAP IQ uses SySAM for licensing and supports its sub-capacity licensing feature. See the SySAM Users Guide for more information if you run SAP IQ in a virtualized environment.

5.2 Product Components

Choose the components to install based on how you plan to use SAP IQ.

To create a custom server or client installation, just deselect any default components that you don't want, and add those optional components that you need. See Typical or Custom Installation? [page 18]

In this section:

Typical or Custom Installation? [page 18]A typical SAP IQ installation includes all of the software components that you need, but you may add optional components or remove components to create a custom installation.

SAP IQ Server Components [page 18]The SAP IQ Server Suite groups components by feature. A typical installation installs those components marked as default. Components not marked as default are options that you may add to a custom installation.

5.2.1 Typical or Custom Installation?

A typical SAP IQ installation includes all of the software components that you need, but you may add optional components or remove components to create a custom installation.

For example, if you have numerous servers licensed for SAP products that require SySAM licensing, you might want to install the SySAM License Server to manage all of the licenses across your system. You must use an SAP IQ custom installation to install the SySAM License Server, which is an optional component.

SAP IQ Server Components [page 18] and SAP IQ Client Components [page 19] describe all of the default and optional components. See Served License Deployment Model [page 24] for more information about this component.

SAP IQ Cockpit provides a view specific to your SAP IQ installation and full access to all its features.

See SAP IQ Cockpit for more details.

5.3 License Requirements

SAP IQ requires a product license for each product edition except the Evaluation Edition. You also need separate licenses for any optional features available for your edition.

Read this section to decide:

● What licenses you need.● Whether you want to manage and distribute licenses from a network license server.

You can manage licenses using the network license server (served licenses), or manage licenses individually yourself (unserved licenses). See License Deployment [page 23].

Whether you install a licensed or evaluation edition, you have 90-day access to all features and options. To use an option beyond the 90-day evaluation period, you must purchase and install an appropriate license. The SySAM licensing mechanism lets your system administrator enable and monitor the site's use of SAP products.



http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=http://php.net

Because using an unlicensed option on a licensed server can cause the server to shut down when the initial grace period expires, the DBA must explicitly authorize access to an optionally licensed feature. SAP IQ will not try to check out an optional license by default. Unless the DBA grants access to an option, the option is unavailable.

NoteSAP IQ periodically checks the number of processors it can use and attempts to check out additional licenses for any increase. SAP IQ shuts down after 90 days if additional licenses are not made available within this period.

When you purchase an SAP product, you receive an e-mail message that tells you how to generate SAP IQ license keys on the Web. The e-mail message also provides specific product and licensing information. Use this information when you generate your licenses.

After installation, you can view and change the license management configuration and enable or disable optional licenses. See Verifying and Authorizing Optional Licensed Components [page 108] for information about authorizing optional features and other issues related to license management configuration.

NoteIf SAP IQ was licensed using a per-processor license type in previous releases, the license quantity was determined at startup. In this release, SAP IQ periodically checks for the number of processors it can use and attempts to check out additional licenses for any increase. SAP IQ shuts down after 90 days, if additional licenses are not made available within this period. See the SySAM 2 Users Guide for details regarding license grace.

In this section:

Evaluation Edition [page 22]The Evaluation Edition does not require a license. The Evaluation Edition is an unlicensed server, which provides full access to all features and options available in the Enterprise Edition. To run an unlicensed database beyond a 30-day evaluation period, however, you must purchase and install an appropriate license.

Enterprise Edition and Licensed Options [page 22]SAP IQ Enterprise Edition requires a CPU license and supports several licensing options.

License Deployment [page 23]Before you generate a license for SAP IQ, determine the license deployment model.

Before You Generate Licenses [page 31]Have the necessary information available before generating licenses.

Related Information



5.3.1 Evaluation Edition

The Evaluation Edition does not require a license. The Evaluation Edition is an unlicensed server, which provides full access to all features and options available in the Enterprise Edition. To run an unlicensed database beyond a 30-day evaluation period, however, you must purchase and install an appropriate license.

5.3.2 Enterprise Edition and Licensed Options

SAP IQ Enterprise Edition requires a CPU license and supports several licensing options.

Orderable License Actual License Description

CPU IQ_CORE Restricts the number of cores (not CPUs) that a server can use.

VLDB MO IQ_VLDBMGMT Allows you to create multiple tablespaces and additional dbspaces beyond the defaults:

● You are allowed one IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP dbspace, one IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace, one IQ_SHARED_TEMP, and one additional user defined main store dbspace.

● Additional dbspaces require the IQ_VLDBMGMT license, which restricts the ability to create table partitions. An IQ_VLDBMGMT is required whenever an SAP IQ server creates or starts with two or more IQ user dbspaces.

Each VLDB license allows for 1 TB of storage. You will need to purchase one license for each additional TB of storage in the main store.

If you are not licensed for the IQ_VLDBMGMT option, SAP IQ returns a No such feature exists error when you try to create more than one table partition or user dbspace.

ASO IQ_SECURITY Allows you to use column encryption, ECC Kerberos and FIPS. The number of ASO licenses must match the number of cores.

MPXO IQ_MPXNODE Allows you to start secondary multiplex nodes (readers/writers). The number of nodes must always be less than the number of cores, as each multiplex server must have at least one core.

IDBA-PSO IQ_UDF Allows you to define and run high-performance scalar and aggregate user-defined functions.

This license is only available with approved third-party libraries.

IQ_IDA Allows you to build, deploy and run your own C/C++ V4 User-Defined Functions (UDF).

The IQ_IDA license will function as both the InDatabase Analytics Option and Partner Solutions license.



Orderable License Actual License Description

UDA IQ_UDA Allows you to use the IQ Text Search functionality, which lets SAP IQ search unstructured and semi-structured data. An IQ_UDA also includes an IQ_LOB license. This license applies to TEXT indexes.

5.3.3 License Deployment

Before you generate a license for SAP IQ, determine the license deployment model.

● The served license model – licenses are deployed to one or more SySAM license servers. Using a license server simplifies and centralizes license administration if you run SAP IQ on several machines, as doing so provides more control over software assets.

● The unserved license model – you generate and download a separate license for each machine where the SAP IQ server runs.

In this section:

Served License Deployment Model [page 24]The license server is a lightweight application that serves licenses to products running on any operating system.

Unserved License Deployment Model [page 24]Under an unserved model, licenses are installed locally and always available.

Comparing the License Deployment Models [page 24]Compare the characteristics between the served and unserved license models to determine which setup works best for your environment.

Using SAP IQ When the License Server is Offline [page 25]Even when a SySAM-enabled product is disconnected from its license server, SySAM allows you to borrow licenses for your product to work offline.

How SySAM Checks Out Licenses [page 25]SAP SySAM related products check out licenses on start-up, and perform periodic heartbeat checks to verify that licenses remain available. If a license is unavailable, the product determines whether it can be awarded a grace period.

Common License Deployment Scenarios [page 26]Learn about some typical license server deployment scenarios and suggestions for a SySAM setup that best serves each scenario. You can mix and match the suggested configurations with other variations, to best suit your needs.


5.3.3.1 Served License Deployment Model

The license server is a lightweight application that serves licenses to products running on any operating system.

When you choose the served license deployment model, licenses are deployed to one or more SySAM license servers.

A license server can run on a low-end machine or a machine with spare cycles. For example, a license server running on a Solaris UltraSparc-60 serving 100 different licenses to 200 product instances, may use 50 MB of memory, 5 minutes of CPU time per week, and 100 MB of disk space per year.

After you install the required license servers and generate served licenses, install your products. You can configure the products to obtain licenses from one or more license servers.

NoteYou cannot start the license server until there is at least one served license saved to the licenses directory on the license server host machine.

5.3.3.2 Unserved License Deployment Model

Under an unserved model, licenses are installed locally and always available.

Obtain licenses and save them individually on the machines where SAP IQ will run. You will be responsible for updating licenses when required.

5.3.3.3 Comparing the License Deployment Models

Compare the characteristics between the served and unserved license models to determine which setup works best for your environment.

Unserved Served

Licenses are used only on the machine for which the license was generated.

Licenses can be distributed from a network license server to SAP IQ servers running on any machine within the network.

Obtain licenses and save them individually on the machines where SAP IQ will run.

Obtain licenses and save all of them on the license server host machine.

When new licenses are required for SAP IQ updates, you update and deploy each license for each machine where the SAP IQ update will run.

When new licenses are required for SAP IQ updates, you update all licenses for a specific license server in a single step.

Licenses are installed locally and always available. Requires a functioning license server and network. If either of these fails, you install an alternate license server or fix the problem before the SAP IQ grace period expires.



Unserved Served

If a machine where SAP IQ is running fails, you regenerate all of its licenses and deploy those licenses to the replacement machine.

If a machine where SAP IQ is running fails, you move the product to a new machine, where it acquires licenses from the running license server.

If the license server host machine fails, the Manage License Hosts functionality at SMP or SPDC allows you to move its licenses to a new network license server host.

License files are distributed across each machine running SAP IQ, and therefore are difficult to manage and control.

License files are centrally located and managed.

Unserved Standalone Seat (SS) licenses do not allow you to use SAP IQ via Remote Desktop Connection or other terminal services clients.

You can use SAP IQ via Remote Desktop Connection or other Terminal Services clients, irrespective of the type of license in use.

5.3.3.4 Using SAP IQ When the License Server is Offline

Even when a SySAM-enabled product is disconnected from its license server, SySAM allows you to borrow licenses for your product to work offline.

You can use the licensed product offline until the borrowed licenses expire.

When borrowed licenses expire, you reconnect to the network license server and borrow them again for the product to work offline. If you do not reborrow licenses before your currently borrowed licenses expire, the product runs only for a runtime grace period, then ceases to function.

NoteTypically, the maximum duration for which you can borrow a license is 90 days.

5.3.3.5 How SySAM Checks Out Licenses

SAP SySAM related products check out licenses on start-up, and perform periodic heartbeat checks to verify that licenses remain available. If a license is unavailable, the product determines whether it can be awarded a grace period.

The grace period starts from the time a license was last in use and persists for 90 days. At the end of the grace period, the product performs an orderly shutdown, if running, or fails to start up. If the license (or a replacement license) becomes available, the cycle continues with the heartbeat, noting the last use of the license.

In this section:

Three-License-Server Redundancy [page 26]


Tolerance for temporary licensing failure is usually sufficient. However, in certain circumstances, you may choose to use “three-license-server redundancy.”

5.3.3.5.1 Three-License-Server Redundancy

Tolerance for temporary licensing failure is usually sufficient. However, in certain circumstances, you may choose to use “three-license-server redundancy.”

For example:

● A grace period is not provided for the license type Floating License (FL).● Standby copy systems rarely qualify for a grace period because they are unlikely to have been used within

the last 90 days.● Company policy dictates the use of redundancy.

For three-license-server redundancy, use three machines that each:

● Run the same version of the SySAM license server.● Have good intermachine communication.● Use a separate copy of the same license files.

A product using per-processor licensing checks out a license quantity equal to the number of processors it can use. If there are not enough licenses, it applies a runtime grace period. A runtime grace period is also applied if the number of processors increases and the product is unable to check out additional licenses. The product shuts down if additional licenses are not made available within the runtime grace period. Decreasing the available number of processors while it is running does not reduce the required license quantity. You must restart the product on the correct number of processors.

5.3.3.6 Common License Deployment Scenarios

Learn about some typical license server deployment scenarios and suggestions for a SySAM setup that best serves each scenario. You can mix and match the suggested configurations with other variations, to best suit your needs.

In this section:

Small Environment, Unserved Licenses [page 27]The easiest setup for this environment is to use unserved licenses, which have a simple initial setup and require little, if any, ongoing monitoring.

Single Site with Multiple Products, Served Licenses [page 28]This deployment scenario assumes you have one site, running multiple products, that requires asset management capabilities.

Multiple Sites with Security Considerations and Remote Users [page 29]This deployment scenario has multiple sites, each with multiple SAP products, with a license server at each site. This removes the dependency on network availability and latency, and can provide load balancing.



5.3.3.6.1 Small Environment, Unserved Licenses

The easiest setup for this environment is to use unserved licenses, which have a simple initial setup and require little, if any, ongoing monitoring.

This deployment scenario uses an unserved license deployment model that works best in:

● Very small environments using only a few license files that require little management. If you have more than 10 hosts, it is probably better to move to a served license deployment model, since a served license allows you to update all licenses in one step.

● Hosts that are isolated (or need to be isolated) from one network to another; for example, secure networks, and so on.

● Secure environments, where communication between hosts is limited or restricted; for example, all ports are blocked, or specific ports are not allowed to be opened on a host.

● Occasionally connected systems, such as laptops or handheld devices.

Figure 1: Small Unserved License Configuration

The "Small Unserved License Configuration" figure illustrates a simple unserved license architecture with two hosts: ASTRO and ELROY. Each license file is installed locally on the same machine that runs the SySAM 2-enabled products that use that specific license file. The license is used only on the machine on which it is installed. In each license file representation, the license file HOSTID matches the unique license host identification for the machine on which the associated licensed product is installed.

To get this information, run lmutil hostid from the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory, on each machine for which you want to determine the host ID.


When you log in to the SPDC or SAP Support Portal to generate licenses, enter the correct host ID for the machine where the product will run.

When using an unserved license, remember that:

● The unserved license is valid only on the machine for which it was generated. The license is node-locked to the host where your SySAM 2-enabled product is installed, and the license activates products only on that host. You cannot copy the license file to another machine and use it to run another instance of a product.

● The unserved license deployment model does not use a license server. When you start a product, it looks for a local license file.

● You must manage unserved licenses, regardless of the architecture in which they are implemented. Most licenses have a version that usually coincides with the end of your annual support agreement with SAP.To download and apply product updates and patches, when you renew your product support, update your SySAM licenses to reflect that fact. Renewing support and updating the corresponding license files on a few hosts is not difficult, but trying to update 100 or 1,000 hosts would be a formidable task.

5.3.3.6.2 Single Site with Multiple Products, Served Licenses

This deployment scenario assumes you have one site, running multiple products, that requires asset management capabilities.

Typically, a served license with one license server that serves all SAP licenses works most efficiently in such an environment. The overhead of maintaining the license server is compensated by the asset management functionality and a reduction in ongoing license maintenance because of the license server.

Figure 2: Single-Site Served License Configuration

The "Single-Site Served License Configuration" figure shows one license server that is set up to grant SySAM licenses to all SAP products in use. Each instance of a product contacts the license server to acquire a license.



You can set up the license server on a separate host machine, but because the license server uses few resources, it can typically be hosted on an existing machine.

5.3.3.6.3 Multiple Sites with Security Considerations and Remote Users

This deployment scenario has multiple sites, each with multiple SAP products, with a license server at each site. This removes the dependency on network availability and latency, and can provide load balancing.

Figure 3: Multiple Sites and License Servers

The "Multiple Sites and License Servers" figure illustrates an organization with major sites in New York, London, and Tokyo. Each site uses multiple instances of multiple SAP products. A license server is installed at each site and individual product instances acquire licenses from the license server at that site.

You can configure the products to find remote license servers if the required license cannot be found on the site license server, or if the site license server is not running. To share a limited number of floating licenses across all sites while using the site license server for other licenses, set up those floating licenses on the license server where floating licenses are likely to be used frequently. At the other sites, you can set up license search paths. The redundancy provided by this configuration is limited to the number of unused licenses, including any overdraft licenses that remain on each license server.

You can also consider alternate configurations. For example, if the network communication between two sites is extremely reliable with minimal latency, you can share a license server between two sites. Smaller remote


sites can share a license server with a larger site that provides the most reliable network connection, even though the larger site may not be the closest site geographically.

This setup is an extension to the multiple site case explained above. It also addresses additional considerations including security within your network, remote users, and DMZs. This setup uses a mix of license models and servers to meet your needs. Individual components of this deployment can be applied to any of the other deployment scenarios.

Figure 4: Complex, Multiple-Site Installations

The "Complex, Multiple-Site Installations" figure depicts a multiple-site deployment with multiple product setup with additional security requirements. In this example:

● The Headquarters network includes both development and production installations.● The production installations are set up within a secure subnet within the network.● The database and application servers that serve the Web are set up in the DMZ.● Home office and mobile users access the software remotely through VPN.● There is a disaster recovery center at a remote location.● There are other secondary sites for the organization.

This example uses a single license server for Headquarters, which serves the development, production, and remote users’ needs. While the license server is shared for development and production needs, available licenses can be demarcated based on intended deployment.



● The production subnet security policies are relaxed to allow connections to the license server host and port.

● The VPN policies allow a connection to license server host and ports.

If your security policies do not permit the production subnet to access a license server outside the subnet, set up a separate license server inside the subnet.

NoteUse a fixed port for the lmgrd license manager and SAP vendor daemon in such situations. Firewall and VPN policies must accommodate both lmgrd and SAP port numbers. This means that SERVER lines and VENDOR lines in all license files must specify the port numbers chosen for the license manager and SAP daemon processes. For example, a license server running on machine server_1 with the lmgrd license manager daemon, listening on port 27001 and the SAP vendor daemon listening on port 27100 should use a license file headed with the following two lines:

SERVER server_1 ANY 27001 VENDOR SAP PORT=27100

Unserved licenses are set up on the DMZ to serve licenses to product instances using the Web. This reduces the need to set up another license server or open up additional traffic through the firewall.

SAP recommends that you use a separate license server for your disaster recovery site. This ensures availability of the license server in case of a major catastrophe at the primary site.

If your disaster recovery setup includes cold-standby servers, set up the license servers in a three-server redundant cluster. This reduces the possibility of a license server being unavailable when a cold-standby server is attempting to come online. Such redundancy for license servers is typically not needed unless you are using cold-standby systems.

Each secondary or remote site can have its own license server.

5.3.4.1 Determining Host IDs

Identify the host ID of the machine where the licenses will be deployed.

● For served licenses, specify the host ID of the machine where the license server will run.● For unserved licenses, specify the physical host ID of the machine where the product will run.

If you are running a product with per-CPU or per-CHIP licensing that supports SySAM sub-capacity, and you want to run the product in a virtualized environment, use the sysamcap utility to enter the host ID for the virtual machine, partition, or resource-set.

SPDC or SMP remembers the host information so that you can select the same license server when generating additional licenses.

In this section:

Finding the Host ID for a Physical Machine [page 33]Use the lmutil utility or the appropriate operating system command to find your host ID.

Finding Host IDs for Machines with Multiple Network Adapters [page 34]On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address.



5.3.4.1.1 Finding the Host ID for a Physical Machine

Use the lmutil utility or the appropriate operating system command to find your host ID.

The lmutil utility is included in the SySAM license server download.

To determine the host ID of the machine using lmutil, enter:

lmutil lmhostid

Platform Host ID Type Native OS Command

Windows Ethernet Address ipconfig/all

Use "Physical Address" value.

Solaris Host ID hostid

Linux Ethernet Address /sbin/ifconfig eth0

Use "HWaddr" value.

MAC OS X Ethernet Address /sbin/ifconfig eth0

Use "ether" value.

Tru-UNIX (Digital) Ethernet Address netstat -i

IBM AIX Host ID uname -m

After it returns 000276513100, remove both the first and the last two digits, and use the remaining eight digits.

HP-UX PA-RISC Host ID uname -i

Convert to hex, or prepend with #.

HP-UX Itanium Machine ID getconf CS_PARTITION_IDENT

Use "ID_STRING=" prefix.

SGI Host ID /etc/sysinfo -s

Convert to hex, or use # prefix.

Each host ID type has valid formats that will be checked when generating a license. Make sure the value entered matches these valid formats.

Ethernet addresses are 12-character hex values consisting of digits 0 through 9 and characters A through F. They may be entered in any of the following formats:

● 12AB34CD56EF● 12-AB-34-CD-56-EF● 3.12:AB:34:CD:56:EF


For some platforms, the host ID can also be entered in decimal formats; in this case, prefix the host ID with the "#" sign. For example, #1039716963

The Disk Serial Number is always entered with a "DISK_SERIAL_NUM=" prefix. For example, DISK_SERIAL_NUM=3e2e17fd

The machine ID string is always entered with an "ID_STRING=" prefix. For example, ID_STRING=9c766319-db72-d411-af62-0060b05e4c05

5.3.4.1.2 Finding Host IDs for Machines with Multiple Network Adapters

On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address.

Context

If the machine where your product is installed or where the license server is hosted has multiple network adapters, running lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network adapter, and returns output similar to this:

The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90"" Only use ONE from the list of hostids.

It is important that you:

● Choose only one host ID to enter during license generation.● Use the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter.● Do not use values associated with internal loopback or virtual adapters.

If you cannot determine the host ID using the lmutil lmhostid output, use the native operating system commands to get additional details.

5.3.4.2 Access Through a Firewall or VPN

SySAM license server listens on two TCP/IP ports for incoming license requests. Therefore, firewall or VPN policies require a set-up to allow access to both ports.

The SySAM license server consists of two processes: the license manager daemon (lmgrd) and the vendor daemon (SYBASE).

Set the ports by specifying their port numbers in the license files on the SySAM license server. For example, to force lmgrd to listen on port 27010 and the SYBASE vendor daemon to listen on port 27011, the license file header should have:

SERVER keyserver 1D1D1D1D 27010



VENDOR SYBASE PORT=27011

A SySAM enabled product only needs to know the port where lmgrd is listening. The product connects to lmgrd on that port and will then be told which port to use to connect to the SYBASE vendor daemon. This means that the product's local license file just needs to contain the following:

SERVER keyserver ANY 27010 USE_SERVER

When generating licenses at SPDC, specify the license server port to fix the port for lmgrd. Edit the license file to specify the SYBASE vendor daemon port.

When generating licenses at SMP, specify both ports. The port for lmgrd is specified as License Server Port 1, and the SYBASE vendor daemon port as License Server Port 2. For three-server-redundant configurations, you can only specify the SYBASE vendor daemon port for the primary license server; same value is used for the secondary and tertiary license servers.

NoteYou can specify any unused port number between 0 and 64000. On UNIX, choose a port number greater than 1024, as most port numbers less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. Do not specify a number in the range 27000 to 27009 for License Server Port 2, as ports in this range are used by the lmgrd process when no port is specified for License Server Port 1.

5.3.4.3 License Types

SAP IQ is sold under different license types that control where you can use it. License types include in production, standby, or development and test environments.

The license type determines the quantity of licenses required, such as whether a license is required for each machine; or for each CPU, or CPU chip; or per terabyte of storage.

For example, SAP IQ purchased under the CPU License (CP) type requires one license per CPU on the machine, partition, or resource set where it will run. SAP IQ purchased under the Server License (SR) type requires a single license for the machine, partition, or resource set.

Make sure you select the correct license type when you generate your SySAM license file, since your account may have the same product licensed under multiple license types.

When you generate licenses, each license type is presented on the License Information screen, such as:

License Type: CPU License (CP)

In this section:

Optional Feature Licenses [page 36]Some applications are offered as base products with optional features that require an additional separate license.


5.3.4.3.1 Optional Feature Licenses

Some applications are offered as base products with optional features that require an additional separate license.

You can mix license types. For example, you can order SAP IQ under the Server License (SR) license type and order an optional feature (such as IQ_VLDBMGMT) under the CPU License (CP) type.

Optional features are licensed only with the base product of the same product edition. For example, if you order SAP IQ, you cannot use an Evaluation Edition optional feature license with the Enterprise Edition base product. In addition, the entitled use of the license types must be compatible; for example, both types should allow use in a production environment.

5.3.4.4 Generating a SySAM License

Log in to SAP Service Marketplace to generate a license key for SAP IQ. Refer to the email you received for information about your account.

Context

When you purchase SySAM–enabled SAP products, such as SAP IQ, you must generate, download, and deploy product licenses. You will need a license whether you use the served or unserved deployment model.

● To generate your unserved license, you need the host ID and host name of the SAP IQ server.● To generate your served license, you need the host ID and host name of the SySAM license server.● Served licenses require a license server. If you do not plan to use an existing license server, you must install

one before you install SAP IQ.

Procedure

1. Start your browser, and log in to the SAP Service Marketplace at https://support.sap.com/licensekey .2. Follow the online instructions.3. Save your license to a temporary location on the local file system. You must save the license file with

a .lic extension.

5.4 Storage Options

Consider the storage options for your database system before installation.

For SAP IQ dbspaces in production, use a fault-tolerant file system implemented by a high-performance, redundant disk array (for example, RAID 5). For single-server systems, you can use a local file system, but



http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.sap.com%2Flicensekey

multiplex systems require raw devices, ideally on a Storage Area Network device. Multiple raw disks enable SAP IQ to stripe data across devices, which improves performance.

In this section:

Raw Devices [page 37]You can create a database or dbspace on a raw device or a file system file.

Creating Dbspaces on Multiple Files (IBM AIX) [page 38]Due to the IBM implementation of reads for JFS database files, SAP IQ performance improves if you create dbspaces on each disk, instead of creating one large file. Smaller files allow SAP IQ to handle disk I/O operations much more efficiently, especially when combined with disk striping and possibly multiple controllers.

Avoiding Environmental Issues [page 38]Installing SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ on different machines avoids potential start-up problems.

Related Information


5.4.1 Raw Devices

You can create a database or dbspace on a raw device or a file system file.

Disk partitions are typically accessed in two modes: file system mode (for example through the UFS file system) or raw mode. Raw mode does unbuffered I/O, generally making a data transfer to or from the device with every read or write system call. UFS is the default UNIX file system, and is a buffered I/O system, which collects data in a buffer until it can transfer an entire buffer at a time.

SAP IQ uses the path name you specify to determine whether the partition is a raw partition or a file system file. Raw partitions can be any size.

When you allocate file system files for dbspaces (System, IQ main, or IQ temporary), do not place the files on a file system that is shared over a local area network. Doing so can lead to poor I/O performance and other problems, including overloading the local area network. Any storage type can be used for SAP IQ so long as it is configured in a way that SAP IQ supports (raw devices on any platform, local file systems for databases on any platform, NFS on Linux, and GPFS on Linux) and follows proper sizing guidelines.

For Solaris, use the mount options forcedirectio and noforcedirectio. See https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54789/gntim.html#SVNFSgntio .

forcedirectio improves performance of large sequential data transfers. Data is copied directly to a user buffer. No caching is performed in the kernel on the client. This option is OFF by default (noforcedirectio).

For an example of how to use this option, refer to your Solaris documentation.

To avoid conflicts, restrict the management of dbspaces to a single database administrator on a single connection.


http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.oracle.com%2Fcd%2FE53394_01%2Fhtml%2FE54789%2Fgntim.html%23SVNFSgntio

http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.oracle.com%2Fcd%2FE53394_01%2Fhtml%2FE54789%2Fgntim.html%23SVNFSgntio

5.4.2 Creating Dbspaces on Multiple Files (IBM AIX)

Due to the IBM implementation of reads for JFS database files, SAP IQ performance improves if you create dbspaces on each disk, instead of creating one large file. Smaller files allow SAP IQ to handle disk I/O operations much more efficiently, especially when combined with disk striping and possibly multiple controllers.

The current recommendation is that you create three files per underlying disk drive.

When setting up raw partitions, the system administrator specifies the sector size, which defines the minimum usable chunk of disk (and sets the minimum block size). When you use raw partitions, the integer you specify as a block size must be a multiple of the sector size.

5.4.3 Avoiding Environmental Issues

Installing SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ on different machines avoids potential start-up problems.

Install SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ on different host machines. When you install both products on the same machine, the environment variables for the product installed last overwrite those of the product installed first, causing start-up problems for the first product.

5.5 Network Options

Do you plan to take advantage of SAP IQ distributed query processing? Distributed query processing can benefit from an optional high-speed interconnect. Use scalable interconnect technology to connect multiplex nodes.

For best performance, use:

● A high-speed network interconnect providing a local network that connects all multiplex nodes. Use an interconnect bandwidth of 1 GB or higher or the highest bandwidth, lowest latency interconnect available.

● Two physically separate network interfaces for each multiplex node:○ A public network for multiplex interconnection traffic and client traffic.○ A private network for multiplex interconnect traffic only, excluding external client traffic. Currently,

multiplex interconnects support only the TCP/IP standard.These two networks improve security, fault-tolerance, and performance.

● A switch that enables high-speed communication between nodes.● Network cards that reside on different fabrics so that the multiplex survives network failure. Separate the

public and private networks physically.● Private interconnect fabrics that contain only links to machines participating in the multiplex. Private

interconnect for all multiplex nodes should connect to the same switch, which connects to no other public switches or routers.

● Redundant network interface cards added to private or public networks if desired. The private and public connection information allows for multiple IP addresses on each.

6 Preinstallation Tasks

Complete these tasks before starting the installation process. These are operating system-level tasks to be completed by the network administrator.

In this section:

Check for Operating System Patches [page 41]Check with your vendor and apply the latest operating system patches. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system.

Increase the Swap Space [page 42]The recommended minimum swap space is 1 GB. Certain operations may cause the memory usage to grow dynamically. Changing the way SAP IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses memory.

Check Port Availability for SAP IQ Cockpit [page 42]SAP IQ Cockpit uses reserved port numbers.

Verify Network Functionality [page 42]Make sure your network devices can communicate before you install SAP IQ.

Platform-Specific Tasks [page 42]Complete these platform-specific tasks before starting the installation process.

Create the SAP IQ Account [page 47]Create an SAP IQ account to provide consistent ownership and privileges for all installation, upgrade, and administration tasks.

6.1 Check for Operating System Patches

Check with your vendor and apply the latest operating system patches. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system.

See Supported Server and Client Operating Systems [page 14].

SAP IQ Installation and Update Guide for UNIX (HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Solaris)Preinstallation Tasks PUBLIC 41

6.2 Increase the Swap Space

The recommended minimum swap space is 1 GB. Certain operations may cause the memory usage to grow dynamically. Changing the way SAP IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses memory.

Depending on the load, swap requirements may exceed space allotted. Insufficient swap space may result in the system supporting fewer users, and large processes that cannot acquire sufficient swap space may be prematurely killed by the operating system.

See your operating system documentation for information about extending swap space.

6.3 Check Port Availability for SAP IQ Cockpit

SAP IQ Cockpit uses reserved port numbers.

Before proceeding, if you are planning to install SAP IQ Cockpit, verify the availability of the following ports . If already in use, identify alternate port numbers to be specified during installation.

● HTTP Port: 4282● HTTPS Port: 4283● RMI Port: 4992● TDS Port: 4998

6.4 Verify Network Functionality

Make sure your network devices can communicate before you install SAP IQ.

SAP IQ uses networking software whenever the client and server components are installed on different systems. Use the ping command to and from another computer to verify that the server where you plan to install SAP IQ can use TCP/IP to communicate with other devices on your network.

6.5 Platform-Specific Tasks

Complete these platform-specific tasks before starting the installation process.

In this section:

Set the File Descriptor Limits (Solaris) [page 43]To use the Solaris debugger, add a file descriptor for each thread in addition to the file descriptors for each dbspace.

Adjust the Shared Memory Allocation (IBM AIX) [page 43]


Preinstallation Tasks

The -iqsmem switch for shared memory allocation now supports values greater than 512 MB on 64-bit IBM AIX platforms. The maximum supported limit for a single shared memory segment on AIX-64 increased from 256 MB to 32 TB. Adjusting this switch results in a significant performance increase.

Install the IBM XL C/C++ Redistributable Libraries (IBM AIX) [page 44]SAP IQ depends on some redistributable libraries included with IBM XL C/C++ V10.0 and higher. Update procedures depend on the current version of your compiler.

Enable the I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) (IBM AIX) [page 44]AIX I/O Completion Port (IOCP) status may be defined, but not enabled. This problem applies to all AIX platforms and may occur after an install or upgrade.

Adjust the Kernel Parameters (HP-UX) [page 45]You may need to change some HP-UX kernel parameters to run SAP IQ.

Increase the Maximum User Processes (IBM AIX) [page 46]For new installations, the default setting is 40. For a production system, set this value to a minimum of 250. See your operating system documentation for information on setting this parameter.

Manage Shared Memory (Solaris) [page 46]In some cases, increasing the shared memory segment can lead to better network performance.

6.5.1 Set the File Descriptor Limits (Solaris)

To use the Solaris debugger, add a file descriptor for each thread in addition to the file descriptors for each dbspace.

You need to adjust the number of file descriptors by means of the C shell limit command and by including set rlim_fd_max=4096 in /etc/system.

The file descriptor limit can be set for the SAP IQ user or for a project that may include multiple users using the following command:

projadd –c "SAP IQ" -K "process.max-file-descriptor=(basic,4096,deny)" user.<user_name>

This command adds an entry in the /etc/project file, and takes effect with the next log on of the user. You don’t need to reboot the server.

6.5.2 Adjust the Shared Memory Allocation (IBM AIX)

The -iqsmem switch for shared memory allocation now supports values greater than 512 MB on 64-bit IBM AIX platforms. The maximum supported limit for a single shared memory segment on AIX-64 increased from 256 MB to 32 TB. Adjusting this switch results in a significant performance increase.

Set the -iqsmem switch to a value, which is exactly equal to the sum of IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN (dbname.iq) and IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP (dbname.iqtmp) buffer cache sizes. Do not set this switch to another value.


6.5.3 Install the IBM XL C/C++ Redistributable Libraries (IBM AIX)

SAP IQ depends on some redistributable libraries included with IBM XL C/C++ V10.0 and higher. Update procedures depend on the current version of your compiler.

XL C/C++ compiler less than version 10.0

Download and install the IBM XL C/C++ Runtime Environment from the IBM Support Portal at: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019829 .

XL C/C++ compiler version 10.0 or greater

1. Download and install the IBM XL C/C++ Compiler Update from the IBM Support Portal at: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21110831 .

2. Download and install the IBM XL C/C++ Runtime Environment from the IBM Support Portal at: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019829 .

6.5.4 Enable the I/O Completion Ports (IOCP) (IBM AIX)

AIX I/O Completion Port (IOCP) status may be defined, but not enabled. This problem applies to all AIX platforms and may occur after an install or upgrade.

Context

Symptoms may include ENOEXEC and Cannot load module messages.

Procedure

1. Log in to the server as root.2. Validate the current IOCP status: "lsdev-Cc iocp"

lsdev returns one of these messages:○ If the message reads iocp0 Defined I/O Completion Ports, continue to the next step.○ If the message readsiocp0 Available I/O Completion Ports, there is no need to continue.

3. Issue the following command: smitty <iocp>.

4. Select Configure Defined I/O Completion Ports.When processing is complete, output should read iocp0 Available.

5. Press F10 to exit.6. Run lsdev -Cc iocp.

Output should read iocp0 Available I/O Completion Ports.

6.5.5 Adjust the Kernel Parameters (HP-UX)

You may need to change some HP-UX kernel parameters to run SAP IQ.

Context

To adjust the kernel parameters, invoke the HP System Management Homepage (SMH), set the parameters (see the table), then reboot your system.

Procedure

1. Invoke the HP System Management Homepage (SMH).2. Set the parameters using these suggested Itanium kernel parameters:

Parameter HP-UX 11.31

STRMSGSZ 0

bufpages n/a

max_thread_proc 4096

maxfiles 2048

maxfiles_lim 2060

maxswapchunks n/a

maxusers n/a

nfile n/a

nkthread 8416

sema n/a

semmap n/a

semmni 7082


Parameter HP-UX 11.31

semmns 14164

shmmax 2147483647 (0X7FFFFFFF)

swapmem_on 0

unlockable_mem n/a

maxdsiz_64bit 17179869184 (0x400000000)

maxrsessiz_64bit 1073741824

maxssiz_64bit 1073741824

maxtsiz_64bit 4294967296 (0x100000000)

Note○ Set the swapmem_on to 0 to minimize paging and deactivation activity.○ Increase the maxswapchunks parameter to raise the configurable swap space limit beyond the

default.

3. Restart your system.

6.5.6 Increase the Maximum User Processes (IBM AIX)

For new installations, the default setting is 40. For a production system, set this value to a minimum of 250. See your operating system documentation for information on setting this parameter.

6.5.7 Manage Shared Memory (Solaris)

In some cases, increasing the shared memory segment can lead to better network performance.

SAP IQ uses shared memory for two purposes:

● When the client and server are installed on the same system, shared memory is the default communication mechanism, not TCP/IP.

● When you specify the server command-line option -iqwmem, shared memory is used to provide wired memory.

If the -iqwmem option is used, increase the maximum shared memory segment size parameter in the /etc/system configuration file. Specify a configuration for the largest amount of wired memory you expect your system to support.

To create a shared segment to support a maximum physical memory of 3350MB for your system, for example, add the following line to the /etc/system file:

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff



Never set shmmax to a value greater than 7/8 of physical memory.

Local connections through shared memory are not supported for Sun Solaris x64 systems. Use standard network connectivity by adding the parameters -host <hostname> and -port <portnumber> to the client connection string.

The shared memory can be set directly for the SAP IQ user or for a project that may include multiple users, using the following command:

projmod –a –K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,3512729600,deny)" user.<user_name>

If there is already an entry for the user with file descriptor limitation, use the command “projmod” to modify the entry in /etc/project.

This command adds the shared memory parameter before the file descriptor parameter for the user and takes effect with the next log on of the user. No reboot of the server is needed.

Additional Information

● See Appendix: Connection and Communication Parameters Reference > Network Communications Parameters in the SAP IQ Administration: Database guide.

● See start_iq Database Server Startup Utility » start_iq Server Options > -iqwmem iqsrv16 Server Option in the SAP IQ Utility Reference.

6.6 Create the SAP IQ Account

Create an SAP IQ account to provide consistent ownership and privileges for all installation, upgrade, and administration tasks.

Create the SAP IQ user on every machine you plan to install SAP IQ server, SAP IQ client, or the SySAM license server on. The SAP IQ user can be a normal nonadministration user and does not require root access. Log in to machines as this user to install or administer SAP IQ.

If you have already installed other SAP software, the SAP IQ user may already exist. If so, verify that you can log in to the machine using this account. If there is no SAP IQ account on your system, see your operating system documentation for instructions for creating new user accounts.


6.7 Download Installation Files

SAP IQ installation and update packages are available on the SAP Software Download Center.

Context

To access the SAP IQ installation files, go to the SAP Software Download Center and select Software Downloads.

Procedure

1. Select SUPPORT PACKAGES & PATCHES By Alphabetical Index (A-Z) I SYBASE IQ SYBASE IQ 16.1

2. Choose the component to download.3. Choose the operating system from the dropdown list, if applicable.4. Choose the patch level to download.5. Click the Shopping Cart icon to add the selected components to the download basket.6. Click Download Basket and complete the download.

Next Steps

Uncompress the download image on the same machine where you plan to install SAP IQ. Do not copy an uncompressed installation archive to a secondary machine to perform the installation.

Each archive contains a single folder with the installation files. Rename these folders to make them easier to identify. For example, rename the folder with SAP IQ server installation files to server.

Once unpacked and renamed, verify that the SAP IQ account has full privileges (read, write, execute) to all archive folders. Modify privileges as needed. Missing privileges on any of the folders may result in an incomplete installation.

● At least one license file (.lic) exists in the licenses directory.

Procedure

1. Change to the <sysam_installation_dir>/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory.

2. Start or stop the license server:

Action Syntax

Start the license server ./sysam start

Stop the license server ./sysam stop

3. To verify that the license server is running, enter sysam status.

NoteThe SySAM License Server Installer installs both IPv4-only and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack license server binaries during installation and configures use of IPv4-only binaries.

Use the sysam configure [IPv6 | IPv4] to configure the appropriate version of the license server. For example, sysam configure IPv6 will configure use of the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack binaries. For more information, see the SySAM Users Guide published with SAP IQ documentation.




Related Information

Apply or Update Licenses on the SySAM License Server [page 53]

7.4 Apply or Update Licenses on the SySAM License Server

Copy your served licenses to the license directory on the SySAM license server, and update the license server.

Prerequisites

● The SySAM license server is running.● You have a valid served license to apply or update.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the <sysam_installation_directory>/SYSAM-2_0/licenses folder.

CautionThe SySAM license server and the SAP IQ server both have a SYSAM-2_0/licenses subfolder structure. If you installed both servers on the same machine, be sure to navigate to the SYSAM-2_0/licenses folder of the SySAM license server, not of the SAP IQ server.

2. Copy the served licenses to the folder.3. Change to the <sysam_installation_directory>/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory.

4. Type: ./sysam reread

NoteStopping and starting the SySAM license server also forces the server to update the licenses.


7.5 Understanding the SySAM Directory Structure

SySAM files are installed in the SYSAM-2_0 directory.

The SYSAM-2_0 directory contains these default subdirectories and files:

bin● sysam – wrapper script to manage the license server● lmgrd – license server manager daemon● SYBASE – vendor daemon● lmutil – licensing Utility program (from Flexera)● lmtools.exe – (Windows only) GUI License Utility program (from Flexera)● installs.exe – (Windows only) program used internally to install the SySAM Windows service that

automatically starts the license server● cpuinfo – utility program that reports the processor counts for the machine, or for the specified

containment level if the SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY environment variable is set● sysamcap – utility program used to configure sub-capacity licensing

licenses● *.lic – license files● SYBASE.opt – license server options file

locales● unicode – localized message files for the sysamcap and cpuinfo utilities

log● SYBASE.log – license server debug log

7.6 SySAM Utilities

The licensing utility program, lmutil, includes options for managing licensing activities.

The options available in lmutil are:

● lmborrow – supports license borrowing.● lmdiag – diagnoses license checkout problems.● lmdown – shuts down selected license daemons.● lmhostid – reports the system host identifier for the machine on which the command is run.● lminstall – (not supported by SAP) converts license files to different formats.● lmnewlog – moves the existing report log information to a new file name and starts a new report log file

with the existing file name.● lmpath – allows direct control over license file path settings. You should place all license files in the license

directory rather than scattering them and modifying the license server's search path.



● lmremove – releases the failed license to the pool of free licenses. If an SAP product is still using the license, the product obtains the license again during its next heartbeat.

● lmreread – directs the license daemon to reread the license file and to start any new vendor daemons.● lmstat – displays the license server system status.● lmswitch – tells the license server to start writing to a new debug log file. When you restart the license

server, it uses the debug log file specified in the options file, so you must ensure the old log is renamed to avoid appending to it.

● lmswitchr – switches the report log to a new file name. You should use lmnewlog to archive the report log instead.

● lmver – reports the FLEXnet licensing version of a library or binary file.

8 Installing SAP IQ Server Software

SAP IQ server installation media supports GUI, console, and unattended (silent) installs. You can use the installation media to install a new SAP IQ server and selected components or to add additional components to an existing installation.

In this section:

Installing a Server in GUI Mode [page 57]Use this option to install your server software using a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI installer is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.

Installing a Server in Console Mode [page 59]Choose a console installation if you prefer a non-GUI interface. Installing server components in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.

Installing a Server in Unattended (Silent) Mode [page 61]Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a server installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in either GUI or console mode.

Setting Server Environment Variables [page 65]A server installation installs the SAP IQ server and selected components into a user-defined parent directory on the host machine. SAP IQ then uses environment variables, which are set by running a shell script after installation to point to the different installation directories.

Finding Server Utilities and Files [page 66]SAP IQ uses environment variables to point to different installation directories.

Reviewing Server Installation Logs [page 68]The installer writes a general log to the $SYBASE directory that records all installation activity and individual logs for each installed component. If an installation problem occurs, start with the IQ_Suite.log, then refer to the component log for specific details.

Procedure



3. When prompted, specify a parent installation directory. Do not install SAP IQ into the root or a destination directory or path that contains spaces.

For a new server installation, specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory from a previous installation.

If installing the SySAM license server and SAP IQ server on the same machine, do not install to a common parent directory.

If adding components to an existing SAP IQ server, specify the existing parent installation directory. Specifying a different parent directory overwrites existing environment variables and may cause unexpected behavior.

The GUI installer warns you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent install directory or path has changed since the last installation on the machine, and you are about to replace the existing environment variables.

4. Do one of:

For Action

New installations Select Typical to install all default components. Select Custom to select and deselect individual components to install.

SAP IQ Installation and Update Guide for UNIX (HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Solaris)Installing SAP IQ Server Software PUBLIC 57

For Action

Adding components to an existing installation

Select Custom and select only the additional components to install. Deselecting components already installed does not uninstall them, but can significantly speed up the installation process by not reinstalling existing features along with new features. To remove installed feature, see Uninstalling SAP IQ [page 135].

See Product Components [page 17] for information on available components.

5. Indicate whether you want to license SAP IQ now or evaluate the software. You can add your license later if preferred. See Licensing After Installation [page 108].

6. Complete and accept the terms of the licensing agreement.7. If licensing now:

a. Specify one of:

8.2 Installing a Server in Console Mode

Choose a console installation if you prefer a non-GUI interface. Installing server components in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.

Prerequisites

● The SAP IQ package has been downloaded and unpacked.● You are logged on as the SAP IQ user account.● If you plan to apply an unserved license during installation, the license file is in a location accessible to the

installer.● If you plan to apply a served license during installation, the SySAM license server must be configured and

running. See Installing SySAM License Server [page 49].

Context

As the installer runs, refer to your planning checklist for answers to the various prompts. The prompts displayed may vary, depending on the components selected for installation.

NoteTo return to the previous prompt from within the console installer, type back at any time.

Procedure

1. From a console, change to the setup directory where you unpacked your software.2. Start the installer and follow the instructions on the screen:




For new server installations, you must specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory leftover from a previous installation.

If installing the SySAM license server and SAP IQ server on the same machine, do not install to a common parent directory.


The console installer does not warn you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent installation directory or path has changed since the last installation on the machine, and you are about to replace the existing environment variables.

4. Choose one of these installation options:

Option Description

New installations

Select Typical to install all default components. Select Custom to select and deselect individual components to install.

For "Custom" installations, type the number of the feature to be selected or deselected. The number acts as a switch to the current setting of a feature, though the display does not update.

For example, to install the SAP IQ server only, type 7,10,12.

NoteSpecifying a parent product automatically applies the switch to any child component associated with that feature. For example, typing 1 is equivalent to typing 2,4,5,6. However, if you typed 1,2,4,5,6, the 1 would deselect SAP IQ and all its children, then 2,4,5,6 would reselect each specified child feature. The net result would be that all children within SAP IQ would be installed.




5. Indicate whether you want to license SAP IQ now or evaluate the software. You can add your license later if preferred. See Licensing After Installation [page 108].

6. Complete and accept the terms of the licensing agreement.7. If licensing now:

a. Specify one of:

To Action

Use specify license keys Change to the location of the unserved license file and select it.

Use previously deployed license server Specify the host name of the license server. Use the machine name or the IP address.



To Action

Continue installation without a license key If you are unable to enter a valid license key or connect to a license server, select this option to continue the installation.

b. Specify the product edition and license type being installed.c. (Optional) Configure SySAM e-mail alerts.

SySAM e-mail alerts do not contain HELO tokens, which some SMTP mail servers require to process messages correctly. If your SMTP server requires a HELO token, append the email.helo.fqdn property to the SySAM property file. The property value should be the fully qualified domain name, such as email.helo.fqdn=sap.com.

The SYSAM properties file is located in the /$SYBASE\IQ-16_1/Sysam directory and is named <servername>.properties, where <servername> is the name of your server.

8. Review the installation summary and adjust as needed. Ensure that expected features are being installed.9. Begin the installation.10. If installing SAP IQ Cockpit:

a. Accept the default ports or change as needed.

TipRefer to your planning checklist.

8.3 Installing a Server in Unattended (Silent) Mode

Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a server installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in either GUI or console mode.

In this section:

Creating a Server Response File [page 62]


You create a response file by recording your responses while running a server installation. You can create the file using either GUI or console mode.

Installing a Server Using a Response File [page 63]The system uses the responses in the file to perform the server installation.

8.3.1 Creating a Server Response File

You create a response file by recording your responses while running a server installation. You can create the file using either GUI or console mode.

Prerequisites


Context

The response file is not created until the current installation completes. Your responses to the screen prompts, not your actual keystrokes, are recorded in the file. Give careful thought to your responses, as they will be used in every installation using the response file.

If you are using an unserved license model, you should select an evaluation license when creating a response file. You can apply the unserved license after running the silent installation. However, if you choose to license when creating the response file, the unserved license file specified in the response file must be available to the installer. If the file is not found during installation, the silent installation fails with a licensing error message.

If you are using a served license model, ensure that the SySAM License Manager is configured and running before you select a license server when creating a response file.

Procedure

1. From a console, change to the setup directory where you unpacked your software.2. Start the installer, where <responseFileName> includes the absolute path and file name of the response

file. If no path is specified, the file is created in the current folder. Though optional, you should add the file extension .properties to any custom response file you create to help identify it.

Mode Syntax

GUI ./setup.bin -r <responseFileName>



Mode Syntax

Console ./setup.bin -i console -r <responseFileName>

3. Respond to the screen prompts as you would for an attended installation.

Tip○ Keep in mind that your responses to each prompt are being saved to the file and will be used for

each unattended installation. While it is possible to edit the response file before using it, this should be kept to a minimum to prevent unexpected errors in the file from spelling errors or invalid responses, which could cause the installation to fail or not install as intended.

○ It is not recommended that you license SAP IQ with a license file when creating a response file. The license file name and location would be recorded in the response file. For an unattended installation to successfully license the SAP IQ server using this response file, the license file would need to have the same name and exist in the specified location on the machine before the installation begins.

4. Review the installation summary and adjust as needed.5. Begin the installation.

Results

8.3.2 Installing a Server Using a Response File

The system uses the responses in the file to perform the server installation.

Prerequisites

● The SAP IQ package has been downloaded and unpacked.


● You are logged on as the SAP IQ user account.● If your response file specifies an unserved license, the license file is available to the installer in the location

specified in the response file.● If you plan to apply a served license during installation, the SySAM license server is configured and

running.

Context

You can use the default response file, installer.properties or a custom response file. Be careful: If you edit the information in the response file and it becomes invalid, the silent installation might fail. To override the default installation options, use the -f argument to point to a custom response file.

The cursor disappears when the silent installation begins, and reappears when complete. Press Ctrl + c at any time to cancel a silent installation.

Procedure

1. From a console, change to the setup directory where you unpacked your software.2. Start the installer using the appropriate syntax for the license type specified in the response file.

For evaluation, type:

setup.bin –f <responseFileName> -i silent -DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true

For licensed type:

setup.bin –f <responseFileName> -i silent -DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true -DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=license

where:

Argument Description

-f <responseFileName> Optional argument that includes the absolute path and file name of the response file. If you omit this argument, the installer defaults to installer.properties or other .properties file in the same installation directory.

-i silent Required switch that starts the silent installer.

-DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true Required argument that indicates you accept Sybase end-user license agreement.

-DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=license

Required argument to install a licensed version of the software. Not required for evaluation version.




-DUNINSTALL_DELETE_DATA_FILES=true

Optional argument that deletes unnecessary files after installation.

Results

If the response file references an unserved license that cannot be found, the silent installation fails with an error message.

If the response file references a SySAM license server that is not running, the installation completes, but the SAP IQ server is configured to use an evaluation license. Start the license server, then stop and restart the SAP IQ server to apply the served license.

8.4 Setting Server Environment Variables

A server installation installs the SAP IQ server and selected components into a user-defined parent directory on the host machine. SAP IQ then uses environment variables, which are set by running a shell script after installation to point to the different installation directories.

Context

See Environment Variables [page 97] for information on modifying environment variables.

Procedure

1. Change to the SAP IQ parent installation directory.2. Execute one of the following:


○ For the tcsh or C (csh) shell, enter:

source ./IQ.csh

○ For the Korn (ksh), Bash, or Bourne (sh) shell, enter:

source ./IQ.sh

9 Installing SAP IQ Client Software

SAP IQ client installation media supports GUI, console, and unattended (silent) installs. You can use the installation media to install a new SAP IQ client and selected components or to add additional components to an existing installation.

In this section:

Running the Client and Server on the Same System [page 71]Your SAP IQ server can connect to a remote SAP IQ server. In this scenario, the SAP IQ server becomes a client of the remote SAP IQ server, and requires an SAP IQ client.

Installing a Client in GUI Mode [page 71]Use this option to set up your client software in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment. The GUI installer is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.

Installing a Client in Console Mode [page 72]Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-windowing interface or for developing custom installation scripts. Installing the client in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.

Installing a Client in Unattended (Silent) Mode [page 74]Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a client installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.

Setting Client Environment Variables [page 77]A client installation installs the SAP IQ client and selected components into a user-defined parent directory on the host machine. SAP IQ then uses environment variables, which are set by running a shell script after installation to point to the different installation directories.

Installing SAP IQ Client Software

9.1 Running the Client and Server on the Same System

Your SAP IQ server can connect to a remote SAP IQ server. In this scenario, the SAP IQ server becomes a client of the remote SAP IQ server, and requires an SAP IQ client.

SAP IQ uses a shared memory segment and several semaphores for communication between the client and server on the same machine. Shared memory is the default communications mechanism when the client and server are on the same system. Shared memory is configured automatically, and starts automatically.

9.2 Installing a Client in GUI Mode

Use this option to set up your client software in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment. The GUI installer is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.

Prerequisites


Procedure




For new installations, you must specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory leftover from a previous installation.


The GUI installer warns you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent install directory or path has changed since the last installation on the machine, and you are about to replace the existing environment variables.

4. Do one of:

SAP IQ Installation and Update Guide for UNIX (HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Solaris)Installing SAP IQ Client Software PUBLIC 71

For Action

New Installations Select Typical to install all default components. Select Custom to select and deselect individual components to install.




5. Complete and accept the terms of the licensing agreement.6. Review the installation summary and adjust as needed.7. Begin the installation.

9.3 Installing a Client in Console Mode

Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-windowing interface or for developing custom installation scripts. Installing the client in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.

Prerequisites




Context

Note● If you are installing the SAP IQ client on a machine with SAP IQ server already installed, you must

perform the installation using the SAP IQ server installer, not the SAP IQ client installer. See Installing SAP IQ Server Software [page 56].

● To return to the previous prompt from within the console installer, type back at any time.

Procedure

1. Change to the setup directory where you downloaded and unpacked your SAP IQ software.2. Start the installer and follow the instructions on the screen:



For new installations, you must specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory leftover from a previous installation.


The console installer does not warn you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent installation directory or path has changed since the last installation on the machine, and you are about to replace the existing environment variables.

4. Choose one of these installation options:

Option Description

New installations

Select Typical to install all default components. Select Custom to select and deselect individual components to install.

For "Custom" installations, type the number of the feature to be selected or deselected. The number acts as a switch to the current setting of a feature, though the display does not update.

For example, to install the client only without drivers, type 1,2. 1 deselects SAP IQ and all its children. 2 then reselects the IQ client only.

NoteSpecifying a parent product automatically applies the switch to any child components associated with that feature. For example, typing 1 is equivalent to typing 2,3,4. However, if you typed 1,2,4, the 1 would deselect SAP IQ and all its children, then 2,3,4 would reselect each specified child feature. The net result would be that all children within SAP IQ would be installed.


Option Description




5. Complete and accept the terms of the licensing agreement.6. Review the installation summary and adjust as needed. Ensure that expected features are being installed.7. Begin the installation.

9.4 Installing a Client in Unattended (Silent) Mode

Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a client installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.

In this section:

Creating a Client Response File [page 75]You create a response file by recording your responses while running a client installation. You can create the file using either GUI or console mode.

Installing a Client Using a Response File [page 76]The system uses the responses in the file to perform the client installation.



9.4.1 Creating a Client Response File

You create a response file by recording your responses while running a client installation. You can create the file using either GUI or console mode.

Prerequisites


Context

The response file is not created until the current installation completes. Your responses to the screen prompts, not your actual keystrokes, are recorded in the file. Give careful thought to your responses, as they will be used in every installation using the response file.

Procedure

1. From a console, change to the setup directory where you unpacked your software.2. Start the installer, where <responseFileName> includes the absolute path and file name of the response

file. If no path is specified, the file is created in the current folder. Though optional, you should add the file extension .properties to any custom response file you create to help identify it.

Mode Syntax

GUI ./setup.bin -r <responseFileName>

Console ./setup.bin -i console -r <responseFileName>

3. Respond to the screen prompts as you would for an attended installation.4. Review the installation summary and adjust as needed.5. Begin the installation.

Results

The response file is created when the installation completes.

9.8 Configuring Client Connectivity

SAP IQ supports ODBC and JDBC connectivity.

In this section:

Connecting Using ODBC [page 81]Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard API that allows a single application to access a variety of data sources through ODBC–compliant drivers.

Connecting Using JDBC [page 85]



JDBC and jConnect provide access to SAP IQ for Java-based applications.

Connecting Using OLE DB [page 85]SAP IQ includes an OLE DB provider as an alternative to ODBC. OLE DB is a data access model from Microsoft that uses the Component Object Model (COM) interfaces. Unlike ODBC, OLE DB does not assume that the data source uses a SQL query processor. Although OLE DB requires a Windows client, you can use OLE DB to access Windows and UNIX servers.

Connecting Using Open Client [page 86]Clients require a server object in the interfaces file to access server properties and methods. Use the SAP IQ Directory Services Editor (dsedit) to create the interfaces file entries. These instructions apply to sever installations only.

Network Issues for SAP IQ Servers [page 86]Properly configured UNIX servers run under the TCP/IP protocol, which enables non–UNIX clients to communicate with the server.

Connecting Across a Firewall [page 87]Set the CommLinks connection parameters in your application's connection string to connect across a firewall.

9.8.1 Connecting Using ODBC

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard API that allows a single application to access a variety of data sources through ODBC–compliant drivers.

In this section:

ODBC Conformance [page 82]ODBC drivers manufactured by different vendors may vary widely in the functions they provide. SAP IQ supports ODBC 3.5.2.

Installing ODBC Drivers [page 82]Server and client installations include ODBC drivers. Platform-specific drivers are available from the SAP Product Download Center and SAP Service Marketplace.

Using UNIX or Linux-Based Query Tools Through ODBC [page 83]There are several ways to use ODBC to connect to UNIX or Linux-based query tools.

Managing ODBC Data Sources [page 83]On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in a system information file. Although this file is named .odbc.ini by default, it can have any name.

Command Line Connections to 32-Bit Applications [page 85]Use dbisql to connect to 32-bit applications from the command line.


9.8.1.1 ODBC Conformance

ODBC drivers manufactured by different vendors may vary widely in the functions they provide. SAP IQ supports ODBC 3.5.2.

Conformance Level SAP IQ Support

Core conformance All core features.

Level 1 conformance All level 1 features, except for asynchronous execution of ODBC functions.

SAP IQ does support multiple threads sharing a single connection. The requests from the different threads are serialized by SAP IQ.

Level 2 conformance All level 2 features, except:

● Three-part names of tables and views. This is not applicable for SAP IQ.● Asynchronous execution of ODBC functions for specified individual state

ments.● Ability to time out login requests and queries.

Note● Although you can use new ODBC 3.5.x features such as descriptors in your ODBC applications, ODBC

2.x applications will continue to work with SAP IQ.● For more information about ODBC, see the ODBC Programmer's Reference, available from Microsoft

Corporation as part of the ODBC software development kit, or from the Microsoft Web site at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms714177(v=vs.85).aspx .

9.8.1.2 Installing ODBC Drivers

Server and client installations include ODBC drivers. Platform-specific drivers are available from the SAP Product Download Center and SAP Service Marketplace.

Application Linking

If you use an ODBC application that uses libodbc.so (libodbc.so.1) or libodbcinst.so (libodbcinst.so.1), you can create symbolic links that point to $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/lib64/libdbodbc16.so.1 for single-threaded or $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/lib64/libdbodbc16_r.so.1 for multi-threaded applications.

If you are creating an ODBC application, you can link directly to libdbodbc16.so for non–threaded applications and libdbodbc16_r.so for threaded applications. References to ODBC functions are resolved at run-time.

http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=http%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Flibrary%2Fwindows%2Fdesktop%2Fms714177%28v%3Dvs.85%29.aspx

32-bit and 64-bit Drivers

UNIX 64-bit applications, including many third-party tools, can use 64-bit ODBC drivers to connect to 64-bit SAP IQ servers. 32-bit applications can use 32-bit ODBC drivers to connect to 64-bit IQ servers. (32-bit applications cannot use 64-bit ODBC drivers to connect to 64-bit IQ servers.)

The SAP IQ Client software supplied with all platforms contains an ODBC driver for connecting from Windows-based ODBC applications. To connect via ODBC from 32-bit UNIX client applications, download and install the 32-bit ODBC driver kit. Check the EBF/Update information for the appropriate driver.

9.8.1.3 Using UNIX or Linux-Based Query Tools Through ODBC

There are several ways to use ODBC to connect to UNIX or Linux-based query tools.

Tools that do not require extensive driver manager services can use symbolic links to connect directly to the driver. Tools that require a driver manager may ship with a driver manager.

For information and recommendations about compatible driver managers available for specific applications, see the documentation for the application.

On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in .odbc.ini. Use a text editor to update this file manually, or use the cross-platform iqdsn utility to create an ODBC data source.

You can use files as data sources instead of databases. File data sources are stored as files with the extension .dsn.

9.8.1.4 Managing ODBC Data Sources

On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in a system information file. Although this file is named .odbc.ini by default, it can have any name.

A system information file can include any connection parameter. This sample DSN connects to the demo database:

[My Data Source] Userid=DBA Password=<password> EngineName=test_serverCommLinks=tcpip(port=1870)AutoStop=noDatabaseName=iqdemo DatabaseFile=iqdemo.db

System Information File Location

SAP IQ searches the following locations, in order, for the system information file:


1. The <$ODBCINI> environment variable2. The <$HOME> environment variable3. The user's Home directory4. The <$PATH> environment variable

NoteSAP IQ clients ignore these environment variables when searching for the system information file:

● <$ODBC_HOME>● <$ODBC_INI>

Use specific host/port/server connection arguments. AIX broadcast mechanism in a subnetted environment cannot detect with the BROADCAST message that another server of the same name and port number is running even in the same subnet.

Connecting with a Data Source Entry

To use a data source entry to connect to your database, open a terminal, and use dbisql with the data source entry name in a connection string. For example:

% dbisql –c "dsn=sample_dsn"

NoteAny database started from a connection string is, by default, stopped when there are no more connections to it, and any database that is loaded from a connection string is unloaded as soon as there are no more connections to it when the Autostop connection parameter is set to yes.

Connecting without a Data Source Entry

To connect without using .odbc.ini, open a terminal, and use dbisql all connection parameters. For example:

% dbisql –c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;AutoStop=no; ENG=<engine name>;DBF=$IQDIR16/demo/iqdemo.db"

This example is shown on multiple lines, however, you must enter the entire command at the command prompt on one line.


See iqdsn Database Administration Utility in the SAP IQ Utility Reference.



9.8.1.5 Command Line Connections to 32-Bit Applications

Use dbisql to connect to 32-bit applications from the command line.

To connect to a 32-bit application without using a data source, use dbisql to connect from the command line.

To connect to the iqdemo.db, use a command similar to the following:

dbisql -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;AUTOSTOP=no; ENG=<engine_name>;DBF=$SYBASE\IQ-16_1/demo/iqdemo.db"

9.8.2 Connecting Using JDBC

JDBC and jConnect provide access to SAP IQ for Java-based applications.

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a Java application programming interface (API) that provides programmatic access to SAP IQ. jConnect is an SAP utility that provides high-performance native access to all SAP products as a standard installation option.

Interactive SQL (dbisql) can use either JDBC or ODBC connectivity.

The SQL Anywhere JDBC driver is the default driver for Interactive SQL.

NoteThe iAnywhere JDBC driver is deprecated.

9.8.3 Connecting Using OLE DB

SAP IQ includes an OLE DB provider as an alternative to ODBC. OLE DB is a data access model from Microsoft that uses the Component Object Model (COM) interfaces. Unlike ODBC, OLE DB does not assume that the data source uses a SQL query processor. Although OLE DB requires a Windows client, you can use OLE DB to access Windows and UNIX servers.

SAP IQ supports Dynamic (dynamic scroll), Static (insensitive) and Forward only (no–scroll) cursors, but does not support Keyset (scroll) cursors. In SAP IQ the isolation level is always 3, no matter what you specify.

SAP IQ does not support Windows CE or remote updates through a cursor.


See OLE DB Connection Parameters in SAP IQ Programming Reference.


9.8.4 Connecting Using Open Client

Clients require a server object in the interfaces file to access server properties and methods. Use the SAP IQ Directory Services Editor (dsedit) to create the interfaces file entries. These instructions apply to sever installations only.

Prerequisites

● You must be the owner of the SAP IQ home directory ($SYBASE\IQ-16_1) to run dsedit● Make a copy of the interfaces file before you make any changes

Procedure

1. From a terminal, change to $SYBASE/OCS-16_0/bin2. Start dsedit.

3. On the Select a Directory Service dialog, select the interfaces file or driver (default) or select a directory service to open, and then click OK.

4. From the Directory Service Session dialog, choose Add new server entry.5. On the Server Entry Editor dialog, enter the SAP IQ server name, then click the Add new network

transport.6. On the Network Transport Editor dialog, enter the host name and port number of the SAP IQ server and

then click OK.7. On the Server Entry Editor dialog, click OK.8. On the Directory Service Session dialog, click Close session.9. On the Select a Directory Service dialog, click Exit10. On the dsedit question dialog, click Yes to confirm exit.

9.8.5 Network Issues for SAP IQ Servers

Properly configured UNIX servers run under the TCP/IP protocol, which enables non–UNIX clients to communicate with the server.

Verified TCP/IP Protocol Stacks

For SAP IQ to run properly, the protocol stack on the client and server computers must be compatible at each layer. Many vendors supply TCP/IP protocol stacks and associated software. SAP IQ communications have been explicitly verified with these TCP/IP implementations:



● TCP/IP For NetWare● Microsoft Winsock version 2.0

User Datagram Protocol

There are several entries into the TCP/IP protocol stack. SAP IQ employs the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). While it is called a transport protocol here and elsewhere, UDP provides little more than a user interface to the network layer IP. In particular, UDP is not a guaranteed transmission protocol.

Tuning Performance Under TCP/IP

Although the default packet size for TCP/IP is 1460 bytes, a larger packet size may improve query response time, especially for queries that transfer a large amount of data between a client and a server process. You can set the maximum packet size using the database server command lines or CommBufferSize (CBSIZE) in the client connection string. This option may be used with the start_iq command.

9.8.6 Connecting Across a Firewall

Set the CommLinks connection parameters in your application's connection string to connect across a firewall.

There are restrictions on connections when the client application is on one side of a firewall and the server is on the other. Firewall software filters network packets according to network port. Also, it is common to disallow UDP packets from crossing the firewall.

● Set the ClientPort parameter to a range of allowed values for the client application to use. You can then configure your firewall to allow these packets across. You can use the short form CPort.

● Set the HOST parameter to the host name on which the database server is running. You can use the short form IP.

● Specify the port your database server is using in the ServerPort parameter if it is not using the default port of 2638. You can use the short form Port.

● Set the DoBroadcast=NONE parameter to prevent UDP from being used when connecting to the server.

In this example, the connection string fragment:

● Restricts the client application to ports 5050 through 5060● Connects to a server named myeng running on the machine at address myhost using the server port 2020

No UDP broadcast is carried out because of the DoBroadcast option.

CEng=myeng;Links=tcpip(ClientPort=5050– 5060;Host=myhost;Port=2020;DoBroadcast=NONE)



See Connection and Communication Parameters in SAP IQ Administration: Database.

10.1 (Optional) The Demo Database

The SAP IQ demo database (iqdemo.db) is a database that contains sample data about a fictional company that sells athletic clothing.

Many of the examples throughout the documentation use the demo database as a data source. It is installed as part of the SAP IQ Server installation and resides on the server. You can also use the demo database to test your installation.

For a new SAP IQ installation, to successfully log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit requires that at least one server be running. Without access to the SAP IQ Cockpit, you cannot use the Create Database wizard to create your initial server. The SAP IQ demo database can be used as the initial server.

Use of the demo database is optional and has no performance impact.

NoteThe demo database is not designed to be used as a production database.

In this section:

Creating the Demo Database [page 90]Use the SAP IQ script to create the demo database.

Starting and Stopping the Demo Database [page 91]You can start and stop the demo database as needed.

Removing the Demo Database [page 92]Once you have created a production database on the SAP IQ server, you may choose to remove the demo database. Removal is optional and has no performance impact on your production system if not removed.

10.1.1 Creating the Demo Database

Use the SAP IQ script to create the demo database.

Prerequisites

● You are logged on as the SAP IQ user account.● All environment variables are properly set.


Postinstallation Tasks

Procedure

1. From a console, change to

$IQDIR16/demo

2. Type:

./mkiqdemo.sh -dba <username> -pwd <password>

NoteOn SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), you need to install ksh before you can run mkiqdemo.sh.

3. Follow the screen prompts to create the database. Minimum password length is 6 characters.

NoteYou can adjust the minimum password length using the -mpl optional command-line argument. Example:

./mkiqdemo.sh -dba <username> -pwd <password> -mpl <8>

Results

The demo database is created, but not started. See Starting and Stopping the Demo Database [page 91]. It's called iqdemo.db and resides in the %IQDIR16%/demo directory. See Finding Client Utilities and Files [page 78].

10.1.2 Starting and Stopping the Demo Database

You can start and stop the demo database as needed.

Prerequisites

● You are logged on as the SAP IQ user account.● All environment variables are properly set. See Setting Server Environment Variables [page 65] or

Environment Variables [page 97].


Procedure

1. From a console, change to the directory where you created the demo database.

$IQDIR16/demo

2. To start the demo database, enter:

start_iq @iqdemo.cfg iqdemo.db

3. To stop the demo database, execute:

stop_iq

4. If multiple databases are running, type the number corresponding to the demo database. If only the demo database is running, type Y to stop it.

10.1.3 Removing the Demo Database

Once you have created a production database on the SAP IQ server, you may choose to remove the demo database. Removal is optional and has no performance impact on your production system if not removed.

In the $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/demo directory, delete all files beginning with iqdemo. Also delete the demodata folder.

10.2 (Optional) The SAP IQ Utility Server

The utility server is a phantom database with no physical representation. It has no database file, and therefore it cannot contain data.

For a new SAP IQ installation, to successfully log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit requires that at least one server be running. Without access to the SAP IQ Cockpit, you cannot use the Create Database wizard to create your initial server. The SAP IQ utility server can be used as the initial server.

The utility server has no default password. It uses a temporary password, which you define during startup. The password is valid only for the duration the utility server is running. A new password must be defined each time the utility server is started.

When logged in to the utility server in the SAP IQ Cockpit console, you can use the Create Database wizard to your first database.

In this section:

Starting and Stopping the SAP IQ Utility Server [page 93]The SAP IQ utility server must be running before you can create the initial SAP IQ server and should be stopped immediately after creation is complete.



10.2.1 Starting and Stopping the SAP IQ Utility Server

The SAP IQ utility server must be running before you can create the initial SAP IQ server and should be stopped immediately after creation is complete.

Prerequisites

● You are logged on as the SAP IQ user account.● All environment variables are properly set. See Setting Server Environment Variables [page 65] or

Environment Variables [page 97].

Procedure

1. From a console, change to the $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/bin64 directory:

$SYBASE\IQ-16_1/bin64/cockpitutildb.sh

2. Specify a temporary password for the utility server.3. To stop the utility database, execute:

stop_iq

4. If multiple databases are running, type the number corresponding to the utility database. If only the utility database is running, type Y to stop it.

10.3 Setting Up Your Environment

These topics describe the installation and operating system settings used by SAP IQ.

Depending on the operating system, these settings may be stored as environment variables, initialization file entries, or registry entries.

In this section:

Installation Directory Structure [page 94]When you install SAP IQ, several directories may be created. This section describes the directory structure.

How SAP IQ Locates Files [page 95]To start and run, SAP IQ must find and access several types of files. Several directories or files with identical names may reside on a system.

Environment Variables [page 97]


SAP IQ uses environment variables to store various types of information. Environment variables can be modified, if needed, and not all variables need to be set in all circumstances.

10.3.1 Installation Directory Structure

When you install SAP IQ, several directories may be created. This section describes the directory structure.

The directories created depend on which options you choose during installation and which directories already exist in your SAP IQ directory (the parent directory defined by ).

By default, SAP IQ software is installed in a unique subdirectory under the SAP IQ parent directory. This subdirectory is called the installation directory. Other tools provided with SAP IQ have unique subdirectories under the SAP IQ parent directory. This section describes only the subdirectory structure for SAP IQ.

By default, the SAP IQ installation directory is IQ-16_1. The location of IQ-16_1 varies, depending on where you install SAP IQ. The IQ-16_1 directory is also referred to by the environment variable $IQDIR16.

The SAP IQ installation directory holds a number of directories and files:

Demo directory ($SYBASE\IQ-16_1/demo)

Holds the tools required to build the iqdemo database. The iqdemo database files are iqdemo.db, iqdemo.iq, iqdemo.iqmsg, and iqdemo.iqtmp. Use ./mkiqdemo.sh to create the iqdemo database. The iqdemo database can be used to demonstrate problems to Technical Support.Demo data subdirectory ($SYBASE\IQ-16_1/demo/adata)

Holds data to allow the creation of the iqdemo database.Scripts directory ($SYBASE\IQ-16_1/scripts)

Holds some scripts used in examples and when creating catalog objects like stored procedures. Do not edit these scripts. If you edit, delete, or move these scripts, the server will not operate properly.Samples directories ($SYBASE/IQ-16_1/samples)

The samples directory contains SQL samples and user-defined function (UDF) samples. The $SYBASE/IQ-16_1/samples/sqlanywhere directory contains directories of SQL samples. The sqlanywhere/c directory holds C++ examples that illustrate using ESQL (embedded SQL) and C with SAP SQL Anywhere. Because SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ share common code, you can modify these examples for use with SAP IQ. The /samples/udf directory holds sample C++ scalar and aggregate UDFs.Additional directories

Additional directories hold executables, libraries, help files, and so on. Subdirectories within IQ-16_1 containing these files include /bin64, /lib64, /logfiles, /res, and /tix.



10.3.2 How SAP IQ Locates Files

To start and run, SAP IQ must find and access several types of files. Several directories or files with identical names may reside on a system.

Understanding how SAP IQ finds these files is important to ensure that you use the correct files. The types of files include but are not limited to:

Libraries

These may include product libraries or system libraries. File name extensions include.so.nnn or .so. These files are required to run SAP IQ.

If an incorrect DLL is found, a version mismatch error may occur. For example, library files might be found in $IQDIR16/lib64 or $IQDIR16/OCS-16_0/lib3p64.

An empty directory, $IQDIR16/usrlib%IQDIR16%, lets you supersede default libraries with custom libraries and patches, because start_iq includes usrlib before regular library directories. SAP IQ uses both SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise and SAP SQL Anywhere libraries. If either of these products have already been installed on your system, note the directory where they are installed to avoid confusion.Interface files

Required to run SAP IQ.Configuration files

Used to specify connection parameters. Examples include iqdemo.cfg.Database files

Store the data and metadata. For example: iqdemo.db, iqdemo.iq, iqdemo.iqmsg, iqdemo.iqtmp.Log files

Store information about the current session on the server and connected database. For example, a server log might be named $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/logfiles/yourservername.0006.srvlog. The database log (for example, $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/demo/iqdemo.log) is created when you connect to the database. For more information about these files, see SAP IQ Administration: Database and SAP IQ Utility Reference.Product scripts

Are sample files that show how to create, populate, and upgrade databases.User files

Include flat files used with the LOAD command and SQL scripts used with tools such as Interactive SQL.Temporary files

Created by to store temporary information for operations like performing sorts for queries.

Some file names are specified in SQL statements and must be located at runtime. Examples of SQL statements that use file names include the following:

INSTALL statement

The name of the file that holds Java classes.LOAD TABLE statement

The name of the file from which data should be loaded.CREATE DATABASE statement


A file name is needed for this statement and similar statements that can create files.

In some cases, SAP IQ uses a simple algorithm to locate files. In other cases, a more extensive search is carried out.

In this section:

Simple File Searching [page 96]In many SQL statements such as LOAD TABLE or CREATE DATABASE, the file name is interpreted as relative to the current working directory of the database server; that is, where the server was started.

Extensive File Searching [page 96]SAP IQ programs, including the database server and administration utilities, carry out extensive searches for required files, such as DLLs or shared libraries.

10.3.2.1 Simple File Searching

In many SQL statements such as LOAD TABLE or CREATE DATABASE, the file name is interpreted as relative to the current working directory of the database server; that is, where the server was started.

Also, when a database server is started and a database file name (DBF parameter) is supplied, the path is interpreted as relative to the directory in which the server was started.

10.3.2.2 Extensive File Searching

SAP IQ programs, including the database server and administration utilities, carry out extensive searches for required files, such as DLLs or shared libraries.

In these cases, SAP IQ programs look for files in the following order:

The executable directory

The directory in which the program executable is held. Also, directories with the following paths relative to the program executable directory:

● Parent of the executable directory.● A child of the parent directory named scripts.

Current working directory

When a program is started, it has a current working directory (the directory from which it is started). This directory is searched for required files.Location registry entry

On a Windows installation, SAP IQ adds a LOCATION registry entry. The indicated directory is searched, followed by the following:

● A child named scripts● A child with the operating system name (bin32, bin, and so on)System-specific directories



This includes directories where common operating system files are held, such as the Windows directory and the Windows\system directory on Windows.CLASSPATH directories

For Java files, directories listed in the CLASSPATH environment variable are searched to locate files.PATH directories

Directories in the system path and the user’s path are searched to locate files.LIBRARY PATH directories

Directories listed in the LIBPATH environment variable are searched for shared libraries.

10.3.3 Environment Variables

SAP IQ uses environment variables to store various types of information. Environment variables can be modified, if needed, and not all variables need to be set in all circumstances.

Environment variables are set by running a shell script after installation.

In this section:

Modifying Environment Variables on UNIX [page 98]On UNIX platforms, running environment source files sets the required environment variables. However, if you must set optional variables or change defaults, use this procedure.

Running UNIX Environment Source Files [page 99]Environment source files set the required environment variables on UNIX.

COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME Environment Variable [page 99]This variable specifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment used by SAP IQ Cockpit.

IQCHARSET Environment Variable [page 100]IQCHARSET sets the default character set.

IQDIR16 Environment Variable [page 100]IQDIR16 identifies the location of the SAP IQ directory and is the location for other directories and files under that directory.

IQLANG Environment Variable [page 101]IQLANG sets the default language.

IQLOGDIR16 Environment Variable [page 102]The IQLOGDIR16 environment variable defines the location of various log files. IQLOGDIR16 is not set by the installation program.

IQTMP16 Environment Variable [page 103]The IQTMP16 environment variable is not set by the installation program. IQTMP16 is used by SAP IQ to indicate a directory where temporary files are kept.

IQ_UNLIMIT_CORE Environment Variable [page 104]The core file size is limited to 32 KB by default to capture just enough of the failing frame and its context for diagnostic purposes. You can remove this 32 KB limit to capture the entire core.

JAVA_HOME Environment Variable [page 104]Defines JRE home, which points to directory containing bin/java.


LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH Environment Variable [page 105]LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH specifies the directories where SAP IQ shared libraries are located.

PATH Environment Variable [page 105]PATH is an operating system required variable that includes the directories where SAP IQ executables are located.

SQLCONNECT Environment Variable [page 106]SQLCONNECT specifies connection parameters that are used by several of the database administration utilities, such as Interactive SQL, dbinfo, and dbstop, when connecting to a database server.

SYBASE Environment Variable [page 106]SYBASE identifies the location of SAP database applications, such as SAP Open Server.

SAP_JRE8_64, SAP_JRE8_32 Environment Variables [page 107]This variable specifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment used by SAP IQ Cockpit.

10.3.3.1 Modifying Environment Variables on UNIX

On UNIX platforms, running environment source files sets the required environment variables. However, if you must set optional variables or change defaults, use this procedure.

Procedure

1. To check the setting for an environment variable, use:

echo $<variable-name>

For example, to see the setting for the $SYBASE variable, type:

echo $SYBASE

Which returns:

/<parent install directory>/IQ-16_1

2. In one of your startup files (.cshrc, .shrc, or .login), add a line that sets the variable.

In some shells (such as sh, bash, ksh) the line is:

<VARIABLE>=<value>;export <VARIABLE>

In other shells (such as csh, tsch) the line is:

setenv <VARIABLE> "<value>"



10.3.3.2 Running UNIX Environment Source Files

Environment source files set the required environment variables on UNIX.

Context


Procedure



source ./IQ.csh


source ./IQ.sh

10.3.3.3 COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME Environment Variable

This variable specifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment used by SAP IQ Cockpit.

If not set, SAP IQ Cockpit startup checks for the location of the Java VM in the SAP_JRE8 environment variables.

Settings

COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME = $SYBASE/shared/SAPJRE<version>

Operating System

Required.


10.3.3.4 IQCHARSET Environment Variable

IQCHARSET sets the default character set.

<Charset> is a character set name. For example, setting IQCHARSET=cp1252 sets the default character set to cp1252.

The first of the following values set determines the default character set.

● IQCHARSET environment variable● Query the operating system

If no character set information is specified, use iso_1 for UNIX.

Setting

IQCHARSET=<charset>

10.3.3.5 IQDIR16 Environment Variable

IQDIR16 identifies the location of the SAP IQ directory and is the location for other directories and files under that directory.

● $SYBASE\IQ-16_1/logfiles is the default location for the server log and backup and restore log (the backup history file). You can override this default by setting the IQLOGDIR16 environment variable.

Setting

IQDIR16 = $SYBASE\IQ-16_1

Operating System

Required. Set by the environment source file or the installation program. This default setting can be changed on Windows.



10.3.3.6 IQLANG Environment Variable

IQLANG sets the default language.

<Language_code> is the two-letter combination representing a language. For example, setting IQLANG=DE sets the default language to German.

The first of the following values set determines the default language.

● IQLANG environment variable● Query the operating system

If no language information is set, English is the default.

Setting

IQLANG=<language_code>

Operating System

Optional but recommended in non-English environments.

10.3.3.7 IQLOGDIR16 Environment Variable

The IQLOGDIR16 environment variable defines the location of various log files. IQLOGDIR16 is not set by the installation program.

● The server log is in the file servername.nnnn.srvlog (where nnnn is the number of times the server has been started) in the directory specified by IQLOGDIR16.

If IQLOGDIR16 is not set to a valid, write-enabled directory, then most utilities, including start_iq, use the default location $IQDIR16/logfiles for all server logs.

Setting

IQLOGDIR16 = <path>



Operating System

Optional.

10.3.3.8 IQTMP16 Environment Variable

The IQTMP16 environment variable is not set by the installation program. IQTMP16 is used by SAP IQ to indicate a directory where temporary files are kept.

The IQTMP16 environment variable should point to a local directory for those using NFS (network file system), which permits the IQTMP16 directory to purge directories and files that are no longer needed as client connections are closed. Each client connection creates several directories and files in a temporary directory. These are needed only for the duration of the connection. The directory must have write permissions for all users who connect to the server.

NoteThe temporary files whose location is defined by IQTMP16 are files used by the client and server. This variable does not control the default location of your IQ temporary store. The CREATE DATABASE statement controls the default location of your IQ temporary store.

CautionDo not set IQTMP16 to $SYBASE or $IQDIR16.

If you do not explicitly set IQTMP16, IQTMP16 is set to a subdirectory in the tmp directory.

If more than one database server is running on a machine, each server and associated local client needs a separate temporary directory to avoid conflicts. When you do not specify a port or engine number for connection, SAP IQ uses shared memory connectivity instead of network connectivity.

To avoid conflicts when using shared memory:

● Create a temporary directory dedicated to each server. Make sure that each local client uses the same temporary directory as its server by setting the IQTMP16 environment variable explicitly in both environments.

● Create a data source name in the .odbc.ini file (on UNIX) for each server and provide detailed connection information.

● Use connection strings that specify explicit parameters instead of relying on defaults.● Confirm connections by issuing:

SELECT "database name is" = db_name(), "servername_is" = @@servername

Setting

IQTMP16 = <temp_directory>


Operating System

Optional on UNIX platforms.

10.3.3.9 IQ_UNLIMIT_CORE Environment Variable

The core file size is limited to 32 KB by default to capture just enough of the failing frame and its context for diagnostic purposes. You can remove this 32 KB limit to capture the entire core.

There will be times when you need a full snapshot of the server process in the core file. If you need the entire core file after crashes or fatal stack trace events, remove the 32 KB limit by setting the IQ_UNLIMIT_CORE environment variable. Restart SAP IQ for this setting to take effect.

NoteA full core contains a complete dump of the process memory space, and can consume a significant amount of disk space.

Setting

export IQ_UNLIMIT_CORE="YES"

10.3.3.10 JAVA_HOME Environment Variable

Defines JRE home, which points to directory containing bin/java.

Used if the location of the Java VM is not set in the SAP_JRE8 environment variables.

JAVA_HOME is commonly created when installing a VM.

On UNIX, run the SYBASE.csh (C shell) or SYBASE.sh (Bourne or Korn shell) environment source file to find and start the correct JRE for the SAP IQ engine. The Java VM location specified in JAVA_HOME takes precedence over the location returned by SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh. If neither JAVA_HOME nor the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh scripts locate the Java VM, SAP IQ will not load a Java VM.

Settings

JAVA_HOME = $SYBASE/shared/JRE<version>



Operating System

Required for all platforms.

10.3.3.11 LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH Environment Variable

LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH specifies the directories where SAP IQ shared libraries are located.

Set the library path variable by running the environment source file.

Settings

LIBPATH = <installation_path/lib>

LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <installation_path/lib>

Operating System

Required. Variable name is platform dependent. UNIX only.

10.3.3.12 PATH Environment Variable

PATH is an operating system required variable that includes the directories where SAP IQ executables are located.

Run the environment source file to include the necessary directories.

Setting

PATH = <installation_path>


Operating System


10.3.3.13 SQLCONNECT Environment Variable

SQLCONNECT specifies connection parameters that are used by several of the database administration utilities, such as Interactive SQL, dbinfo, and dbstop, when connecting to a database server.

The SQLCONNECT environment variable is optional, and is not set by the installation program.

This string is a list of parameter settings, of the form parameter=<value>, delimited by semicolons.

The number sign “#” is an alternative to the equals sign; use it if you are setting the connection parameters string in the SQLCONNECT environment variable. Using “=” inside an environment variable setting is a syntax error. The = sign is allowed only in Windows.

NoteSpecifying connection parameters in SQLCONNECT rather than on the command line offers greater security on UNIX systems. It prevents users from being able to display your password with ps -ef. This is especially useful if you run Interactive SQL or other utilities in quiet mode. Note that specifying connection parameters in SQLCONNECT rather than on the command line is more secure, but is not entirely secure. Because the password is in plain text, it is possible for hostile action to extract it from the environment context. For more information, see Connection and Communication Parameters Reference in SAP IQ Administration: Database.

Settings

SQLCONNECT = <parameter>#<value> ; ...

Operating System

Optional.

10.3.3.14 SYBASE Environment Variable

SYBASE identifies the location of SAP database applications, such as SAP Open Server.

You must set the SYBASE variable before you can perform many tasks on the SAP IQ server or client.



Setting

SYBASE = <path>

Operating System


10.3.3.15 SAP_JRE8_64, SAP_JRE8_32 Environment Variables

This variable specifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment used by SAP IQ Cockpit.

On startup, SAP IQ Cockpit checks COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME for Java version definition. If COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME is undefined, SAP IQ Cockpit checks for installed JREs in this order:

● SAP_JRE8_64● SAP_JRE8● SAP_JRE8_32

SAP IQ Cockpit then sets COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME to the first value it finds in this list.

Setting

On UNIX, the JRE environment variable is automatically set by sourcing the IQ.sh (Bourne/Korn shell) or IQ.csh (C shell) file.

To manually set the JRE environment variable:

COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME=$SYBASE/shared/SAPJRE-8_(minor_version)_64BIT

or:

COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME=$SYBASE/shared/SAPJRE-8_(minor_version)_32BIT


10.4 Licensing After Installation

All product editions except the Evaluation Edition require a license. Optional features are sold and licensed separately.

Whether you install a licensed or evaluation edition, you have 30-day access to all features and options. To use an option beyond the 90-day evaluation period, you must purchase and apply an appropriate served or unserved license.

Using an unlicensed option on a licensed server can throw the server into grace mode, which can cause the server to shut down when the grace period expires. The DBA or other equivalent user must explicitly authorize access to an optionally licensed feature. A server will not attempt to check out an optional license by default. Unless the DBA grants access to an option, the option will not be available.

In this section:

Verifying and Authorizing Optional Licensed Components [page 108]Your license controls the optional components licensed on an SAP IQ server. After applying the license, use the sp_iqlmconfig to allow or disallow the feature.

Applying an Unserved License [page 109]You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to an unserved license.

Applying a Served License [page 110]You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to a served license.

10.4.1 Verifying and Authorizing Optional Licensed Components

Your license controls the optional components licensed on an SAP IQ server. After applying the license, use the sp_iqlmconfig to allow or disallow the feature.

To verify your licensed components, connect to the server, start Interactive SQL (dbisql), and run sp_iqlmconfig without parameters to return a set of properties and values that indicate the state of your licenses:

Property Value ----------------------------------------------------- Edition EELicense Type DTApplication Type IQIQ_CORE License Count in use 2 (CPU core based)Optional license in use : IQ_UDA No Optional license in use : IQ_LOB NoOptional license in use: IQ_SECURITY NoOptional license in use: IQ_MPXNODE NoOptional license in use: IQ_VLDBMGMT NoIQ_VLDBMGMT License Count in use 0 Optional license in use: IQ_UDF NoOptional license in use: IQ_IDA NoOptional license in use: IQ_URIDA NoOptional license in use: IQ_TS_FSF NoEmail Severity NONESMTP Host smtpSMTP Port 25 Email Sender Email Recipients



Authorizing Optional Features

Run sp_iqlmconfig with the allow or disallow parameter to enable or disable an optional license. The ALL keyword enables or disables all optional licenses, except IQ_VLDBMGT:

sp_iqlmconfig 'allow', 'ALL' // enable all, except IQ_VLDBMGT sp_iqlmconfig 'disallow', 'IQ_SECURITY' // disable IQ_SECURITY

Use the IQ_VLDBMGT and <quantity> parameters to change the number of available IQ_VLDBMGT licenses:

sp_iqlmconfig 'allow', 'IQ_VLDBMGT', '8' // increase by 8 sp_iqlmconfig 'disallow', 'IQ_VLDBMGT', '2' // decrease by 2

See the sp_iqlmconfig stored procedure in SAP IQ SQL Reference for information about authorizing optional features and other issues related to license management configuration.

License Server Issues

All license server status and error messages are written to the SYBASE.log in the log directory. To diagnose issues with a license server, check the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/log/SYBASE.log file. You can use iqdemo.db to perform this task.

A line that begins with “Checked out license...” indicates a successful license configuration. If you see a Sysam: FLEXnet Licensing error: message, check with your SAP representative to resolve the issue.

See Managing the License Server Debug Log and Troubleshooting SySAM Errors in the SySAM Users Guide.

10.4.2 Applying an Unserved License

You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to an unserved license.

Context

If an unserved license is not applied before the evaluation period ends, the server shuts down and cannot be started until a valid license is applied. If an unserved license is incorrectly applied during the evaluation period, the server continues to function in evaluation mode. After application, always verify the unserved license is being used.

Procedure

1. Stop any running databases.2. Navigate to $SYBASE/$SYBASE.



3. If it doesn't already exist, create a folder named licenses. The folder name must be exact, both spelling and case.

4. Copy the unserved license to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses.

5. Restart the database.6. Review the .iqmsg file to verify the server is using an unserved license.

Related Information

Verify SAP IQ Server Is Licensed [page 122]

10.4.3 Applying a Served License

You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to a served license.

Prerequisites

The SySAM License Server is running and licensed.

Context

If a served license is not applied before the evaluation period ends, the server shuts down and cannot be started until a valid license is applied. If a served license is incorrectly applied during the evaluation period, the server continues to function in evaluation mode. After application, always verify the served license is being used.

Procedure

1. Stop any running databases.2. Navigate to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/3. If it doesn't already exist, create a folder named licenses. The folder name must be exact, both spelling

and case.4. In the licenses folder, create a text file with the extension .lic. Add the following two lines to the file:

SERVER <license_server_machine_name> ANY USE_SERVER



5. Restart the database.6. Review the .iqmsg file to verify the server is using a served license.

If the server is not using the served licenses, make sure the served license is applied to the SySAM license server. See Apply or Update Licenses on the SySAM License Server [page 53]

10.5 Starting and Running an SAP IQ Server

Use the start_iq startup utility to start your server. start_iq is a command line utility that runs on all platforms and ensures that all required parameters are set correctly.

Starting a Server or Database

To use start_iq to start a server or database, change to a directory where you have write privileges, and use this command format:

start_iq [<server-options> ] [ <database-file> [<database-options>]<, ...>]

A startup command may include several startup parameters:

● <server-options> – include the database server name and other options that control the behavior of the server, for all databases that are running on that server

● <database-file > – is the file name of the catalog store. You can omit this option, or enter one or more database file names on the command line.Each database is loaded and available for applications. If the starting directory contains the database file, you do not need to specify the path; otherwise, you must specify the path. You do not need to specify the .db file extension.

● <database-options> – control certain aspects of each database file you start.

Default Startup Parameters

start_iq uses a default configuration file ($IQDIR16/scripts/default.cfg) to set the default start-up parameters.


Parameter Value Description

–c 48 MB Catalog store cache size.

–gc 20 Checkpoint interval.

–gd all Allows all users to start the database by connecting.

–gl all Allows all users to load or unload tables.

–gm 10 Default number of connections.

–gp 4096 Catalog store page size.

–ti 4400 Client timeout set to 72 hours. Prevents users with long queries from being logged off over a long weekend.

Configuration Files

To override the default start-up parameters, store your options in a configuration file. To start a server with a configuration file:

start_iq @<configuration_filename>.cfg <dbname>.db

This command starts the database and sets parameters named in the (optional) configuration (.cfg) file.

On the start_iq command line, the last option you specify takes precedence, so to override your configuration file, list any options you want to change after the configuration file name. For example:

start_iq @iqdemo.cfg –x 'tcpip{port=1870}' iqdemo.db

The –x parameter here overrides connection information in the iqdemo.cfg file.

A configuration file for the demo database (iqdemo.cfg) is located in the $IQDIR16/demo directory as an example.

Default Server Directories

The directory where the server is started becomes the default directory for all server files created by SAP IQ.

If you run the start_iq utility from $IQDIR16/bin64, the script changes the directory to “./..” to avoid creating database files in the /bin directory.

Startup and Server Logs

SAP IQ writes start-up and server logs in the $IQDIR16/logfiles directory:

● Startup information is saved in the servername.nnnn.stderr file.



●● Server status is logged in the servername.nnnn.srvlog file.

The <nnnn> variable in the file name indicates the number of times the server has been started. For example, localhost.0004.srvlog localhost_iqdemo.0006.srvlog.

NoteIf SAP SQL Anywhere is installed on the same subnet as SAP IQ, the server must have a unique name. Both SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ servers default to the port 2638.

Use a new port number for each server. Set each new port number in the $IQDIR16/scripts/default.cfg file. Change the following line in each IQ database configuration file (for example, $IQDIR16/demo/iqdemo.cfg) to update the port number:

–x tcpip{port=2638}


See start_iq Server Options in SAP IQ Utility Reference

10.6 Stopping an SAP IQ Server

SERVER OPERATOR system privilege is the default permission level required to stop a server, but you can use the -gk startup option to change the default to ALL or NONE. Setting the permission level to ALL lets all users stop the server; setting the permission level to NONE means that no one can stop the server. In a production environment, only the Server Operator should be allowed to stop the database server.

Do not shut down a server while it is still connected to one or more clients. If you try this, you get a warning that any uncommitted transactions will be lost. Disconnect or close all the clients and try again.

Server Shutdown Commands

Several commands shut down the database server.

Command Description

stop_iq Shuts down a server completely without regard for users, connections or load process status. The syntax is:

stop_iq [ <options> ]


Command Description

dbstop Stops a server or database. The syntax is:

dbstop [ <options> ] <server-name>

Where:

● <options> – additional options let you stop a server, even if there are active connections.

● <server-name> – specify <server-name>, as well as any connection parameters you specified when you started the server.

STOP ENGINE STOP ENGINE is a SQL statement that stops a database server. The syntax is as follows, where UNCONDITIONALLY stops a database server, even if there are client connections to the server:

STOP ENGINE <engine-name> [ UNCONDITIONALLY ]

Server Shutdown Methods

There are several methods to shut down or stop a server.

Method Action

Command line Run the stop_iq or dbstop commands.

Interactive SQL Run the stop engine command to stop a named database server.

Stopping Servers in Cron or At Jobs

To use stop_iq in a cron or at job, specify the full path name to the stop_iq executable and the appropriate –stop option:

$SYBASE\IQ-16_1/bin64/stop_iq –stop one

Setting –stop one shuts down a single server, when exactly one running server was started by the user ID that starts the cron or at job. This prevents accidentally shutting down the wrong server if several are running.

$SYBASE\IQ-16_1/bin64/stop_iq –stop all

Setting –stop all shuts down all servers that were started by the user ID that starts the cron or at job.

10.7 Starting and Stopping the SAP IQ Cockpit Agent

SAP IQ Cockpit is a Web-based tool for managing and monitoring SAP IQ servers. The SAP IQ Cockpit agent must be running to log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit. Run the cockpit command to start SAP IQ Cockpit agent.

Context

These instructions assume all environment variables are set properly.

From a console, type:

cockpit.sh

Results

Messages on the progress of the launch appear in a command window. When SAP IQ Cockpit runs, the command window becomes the SAP IQ Cockpit console; you can issue commands to get status information for SAP IQ Cockpit and its ports, plug-ins, and services.

See the SAP IQ Cockpit guide for details on using this administration tool.

10.8 Stopping the SAP IQ Cockpit Agent

Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit agent. Once stopped, you can no longer use the SAP IQ Cockpit.

Context

These instructions assume all environment variables are set properly.


From a console containing the cockpit prompt, type:

cockpit.sh -stop

If the console containing the cockpit prompt has been closed, from a new console, type:

$SYBASE/COCKPIT-4/bin/cockpit.sh -stop

Results

See the SAP IQ Cockpit guide for details on using this administration tool.

10.9 Configuration

This section outlines basic configuration concepts and procedures of an SAP IQ server.

In this section:

Using Configuration Files [page 116]Use a configuration file to store server startup options.

10.9.1 Using Configuration Files

Use a configuration file to store server startup options.

To start a server or database with a configuration file, change to a directory where you have write privileges, and use the following command format:

start_iq @<configuration_filename>.cfg <dbname>.db

If a startup parameter is passed from the command line and the same parameter exists in the .cfg file, the value in the command line overrides the value in .cfg file.

Configuration files can contain line breaks, and can include any set of options, including the @data option. Use a number sign (#) to designate lines as comments. An ampersand (&) character that appears by itself at the end of a line indicates that the previous token is continued on the next line. See the SAP IQ Utility Reference for a complete list of startup parameters.

Default Configuration File

When you start a server and do not include any command line parameters or specify a configuration file, SAP IQ retrieves the start-up parameters from a default configuration file, default.cfg, in the $IQDIR16/



scripts directory. The default.cfg file is also the source of parameters for the Service Manager and multiplex configurations. You can maintain consistency by editing parameters in default.cfg.

To increase the amount of virtual memory, change the parameters in default.cfg. To reduce the virtual memory that other programs use, add swap space to machines or reduce SAP IQ memory demands (cache sizes, thread count, stack size, etc.).

Security and Configuration Files

You can use the dbfhide (File Hiding) utility to encrypt your configuration files. If you specify log file parameters (-o <logfile>) in encrypted files, the log is not available to the start_iq utility. You may want to add parameters that do not require encryption on the command line or in a separate configuration file. For example:

start_iq @encrypt_params @other_params

or

% start_iq @encrypt_params -n myserv -c 400 -o $IQDIR16/logfile/myserv.log

In this section:

Controlling Syslog Messages (HP-UX) [page 117]Controlling the user syslog message can save disk space.

Tuning Memory Allocation (HP-UX) [page 119]Use <_M_ARENA_OPTS> and _<M_SBA_OPTS> to tune malloc() performance.

10.9.1.1 Controlling Syslog Messages (HP-UX)Controlling the user syslog message can save disk space.

By default, SAP IQ logs messages to the user syslog facility on UNIX. On most UNIX-like operating systems, the user syslog facility is not logged, however, on HP-UX systems, the default syslog configuration places the messages sent to the user facility in the syslog files. As a result, these files may fill up, causing the file system on which they reside to become full.

You can solve this problem in either of two ways:

● Turn off the user facility in syslog.conf.● Use the -s IQ server switch to redirect the server's syslog output to a different facility, and turn off that

different facility.

Method 1:

This example shows how you might edit the syslog.conf file on an HP-UX system.

Original syslog.conf file

# @(#) $Revision: 74.1 $


# syslogd configuration file.

#

# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.

#

mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log

*.info;mail.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

*.alert /dev/console

*.alert root

# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.

#

mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log

*.info;mail.none;user.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

*.alert;user.none /dev/console

*.alert;user.none root

*.emerg;user.none *

See UNIX man pages syslogd(1) and syslog(1) for more information.



10.9.1.2 Tuning Memory Allocation (HP-UX)

Use <_M_ARENA_OPTS> and _<M_SBA_OPTS> to tune malloc() performance.

_M_ARENA_OPTS

Memory is dynamically allocated in threaded applications using arenas. You can adjust the number of arenas and how memory expands within the arenas with the environment variable, <_M_ARENA_OPTS>. The number of arenas can be from 1 to 64 for threaded applications; the default number is 8.

Each time an arena expands itself, it grows by the number of pages (the expansion factor) defined by the <_M_ARENA_OPTS>.

The following setting is recommended:

_M_ARENA_OPTS=1:4096

The first number determines the number of arenas to be used. The second number determines the expansion factor or how much the arena will be incremented (in 4096 byte pages) as memory allocations are performed to expand the heap. The expansion factor has a default value of 32 and has a valid range from 1 to 4096.

In the recommended setting, the number of arenas is 1 and expansion is 4096 pages. The default page size in HP-UX is 4096 bytes so the expansion size is 4096 pages * 4096 bytes or 16MB.

Threaded applications like SAP IQ use multiple arenas by default. The default behavior is for memory requests by different threads to be handled by different arenas. For SAP IQ, it may be best to have a single arena so that all threads share a single memory allocation pool.

To use <_M_ARENA_OPTS>:

$ export _M_ARENA_OPTS = 1:4096

M_SBA_OPTS

The <_M_SBA_OPTS> environment variable turns on the SBA (Small Block Allocator) and sets the parameters <maxfast>, <grain> and <numlblks>. For the SBA to take effect, you must set the environment variable before starting the SAP IQ Server. Once the first small block is allocated, you cannot change the values. The SBA uses a different strategy to make small block allocations more efficient. It handles malloc requests smaller than <M_MXFAST> bytes by allocating large groups of those small blocks and then allocating and releasing those smaller blocks within the groups of the same size. This strategy can speed up malloc/free. It can also reduce fragmentation caused when small blocks get in between large free blocks and prevent them from being coalesced for a large request.

The default behavior is for the SBA to be set on for Itanium-based systems and set off for PA-RISC systems running HP-UX. The SBA can be disabled as follows:

export _M_SBA_OPTS=0:0:0


The following SBA setting is recommended for SAP IQ:

_M_SBA_OPTS=65536:50:256

65536 maxfast size, 50 small blocks, 256 grain size

This means that the <maxfast> size is 65536, the number of small blocks (<numblks>) is 50, and the <grain> size is 256.

Default Values

If you do not supply all three values, default values are used instead:

● <maxfast> - The algorithm allocates all blocks below the size of <maxfast> in large groups, then doles them out very quickly. The default value for <maxfast> is zero.

● <numblks> - The above mentioned “large groups” each contain <numlblks> blocks. The default value for <numlblks> is 100 and the value of <numlblks> must be greater than 1.

● <grain> - The sizes of all blocks smaller than <maxfast> are rounded up to the nearest multiple of <grain>. The default value of <grain> is the smallest number of bytes that can accommodate alignment of any data type. The value of <grain> must be greater than zero.

To use this environment variable:

$ export _M_SBA_OPTS = 65536:50:256

10.10 Remove Sample Application Files

Before you deploy your server in a production environment, remove the sample client applications.

The SAP IQ Server Suite installation may include directories that contain sample client applications, which are included for training purposes only. Remove these sample directories before you deploy your server in a production environment:

● $IQDIR16/samples● $IQDIR16/sdk



10.11 Starting Interactive SQL

Interactive SQL is a utility that ships with SAP IQ and lets you execute SQL statements, build scripts, and display database data. It is a component of the SAP IQ client software.

Prerequisites

The Interactive SQL component is installed. See Installing SAP IQ Client Software [page 70].

Context

To use Interactive SQL to connect to a database, it must be running. Enter the connection parameters to the database. Interactive SQL does not accept @filename parameters. Exit codes are 0 (success) or nonzero (failure).

Interactive SQL uses the deprecated iAnywhere JDBC driver.

If the options specified do not include user ID and password, the Connect window opens, allowing you to enter the required information.

Procedure

1. In a command shell, type:

dbisql [ <options> ] [ <dbisql-command> | <command-file> ]

2. On the Connect dialog, enter the parameters for the database and click Connect.

Results

See the SAP IQ Interactive SQL Guide for more information on using Interactive SQL.

10.13 Verify SAP IQ Server Is Licensed

After you license an SAP IQ sever, verify that the license was accepted.

Prerequisites

The license file is checked when you start the SAP IQ server. Ensure the server has been restarted at least once since the license was applied.

Procedure

1. On the SAP IQ server, navigate to the data directory for the server. For example, for the initial database, navigate to

$SYBASE\IQ-16_1/demo

2. Open the iqdemo.iqmsg file in a text editor.

3. Search the file for Using licenses from.



Results

If the server is successfully licensed, using either a served or unserved license, the message Using licenses from:... appears.

If the server is using an evaluation license, the message Checked out graced license... appears.

If a valid license cannot be found, the message Cannot find license file. appears. Verify:

● The license file is in the licenses folder.● The path to the license file is $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses.● licenses is correctly spelled and is plural, not singular.

12.2 Installer Issues

This section describes issues related to the installer.

In this section:

Installer Reports gzip File Not Found [page 127][CR #771401] The installer returns the error: gzip: "Not Found".

Installer Cannot Verify OS Minimum Requirements (HP-UX) [page 128][CR #628684] On HP systems, if the expanded_node_host_names kernel parameter is not set to the default value of 0 and the host name is greater than eight characters, the installer reports a warning, even if you are installing on a supported version of the operating system.

Installer Stops Responding [page 128][CR #665300] A network resource causes the installer to stop responding and returns a syntax error. The df command also stops responding.

Installer Shows Simplified Chinese as Option in Traditional Chinese Environments (Solaris) [page 129][CR #653194] Even if the LANG environment variable is set to LANG=zh_HK.UTF-8 (Traditional Chinese), the installer does not support Traditional Chinese as an installation language.

Installer Terminates with Message "Failed to Connect to Logical Domain Manager" (Solaris) [page 129][CR #656626] On some Solaris machines, the SAP IQ installer may terminate prematurely and display an error message.

12.2.1 Installer Reports gzip File Not Found

[CR #771401] The installer returns the error: gzip: "Not Found".

The message displays because the installer cannot find the path to the gzip file.

Solution:

You must install gzip and reference it in the path for the installer. The installer expects to find gzip in the /usr/bin directory.

On some machines, gzip is located in the /usr/contrib/bin/ directory. If this is the case, update the path and run the installer.


12.2.2 Installer Cannot Verify OS Minimum Requirements (HP-UX)

[CR #628684] On HP systems, if the expanded_node_host_names kernel parameter is not set to the default value of 0 and the host name is greater than eight characters, the installer reports a warning, even if you are installing on a supported version of the operating system.

The warning is:The installer is unable to verify whether your operatingsystem meets the minimum requirements.If you continue to install, the installer reports the following, and log.txt contains various errors, including no such file or directory:Errors occurred during the installation. An erroroccurred and production installation failed. Look at thelog file <path>log.txt for details.

Solution

Set the expanded_node_host_names kernel parameter to the default value of 0.

12.2.3 Installer Stops Responding

[CR #665300] A network resource causes the installer to stop responding and returns a syntax error. The df command also stops responding.

The error message is: syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'.

Solution

1. Identify the network file system (NFS) mounts that may have problems:

strace -e statfs, statfs64 df

2. Use the umount command to unmount an identified NFS mount:

umount -l <path>

3. Repeat the above steps until there are no more NFS mounts that have stopped responding.

NoteThe umount command requires root permission. If umount unmounts the NFS, you may have to restart your machine.



12.2.4 Installer Shows Simplified Chinese as Option in Traditional Chinese Environments (Solaris)

[CR #653194] Even if the LANG environment variable is set to LANG=zh_HK.UTF-8 (Traditional Chinese), the installer does not support Traditional Chinese as an installation language.

When prompting you for a language during IQ installation, the IQ installer provides Simplified Chinese (the default) and English as options. You may not want Simplified Chinese to appear as a language option.

Solution

Modify the LANG environment variable before starting the installer so that English is the only option. Either set "LANG=en" before invoking setup.bin, or invoke setup.bin -l en. During installation, the IQ installer displays English as the only language option available.

12.2.5 Installer Terminates with Message "Failed to Connect to Logical Domain Manager" (Solaris)

[CR #656626] On some Solaris machines, the SAP IQ installer may terminate prematurely and display an error message.

The error is:Failed to connect to logical domain manager: Connection refused.

Solution

A SySAM issue is preventing the installation from succeeding. Use this command to reset the SYBASE_SAM_CPUINFO environment variable, then re-run the installation:

Set SYBASE_SAM_CPUINFO=OSCMDFORK


12.3 Licensing

This section describes licensing-related issues.

Installer does not Prompt for License File Information

You run the installer, but the installer does not prompt for any license file information.

Solution

This occurs when you launch the installer using a relative path.

To resolve this issue, launch the installer from the directory where it is located, or launch the installer using an absolute path.

Licensing Behavior in a Virtual Environment

[CR #628596, #628403] SAP IQ cannot be installed or fails to start in a virtual environment and reports an error.

SAP IQ cannot be installed or fails to start in a virtual environment and reports an error similar to the following:

Cannot determine the total number of processor cores on the machine from within this virtual system. The IQ_CORE("DH") license type is restricted for use on a machinewith a maximum of 4 processor cores regardless ofwhether the virtual system is limited to use fewerprocessor cores. You need to run 'sysamcap' on thephysical machine (or virtual-machine/partition controldomain) and set the reported environment variable prior to running Installer.

This error occurs in the following circumstances:

● SAP IQ is running on a virtual system that lacks access to the processor counts of the physical machine (this applies to all virtual environments except AIX LPAR and HP-UX vPar).

● SAP IQ is using a license type that is restricted for use to a machine with no more than a specific number of processors (for example, ASE Small Business Edition cannot be used on a machine with more than two processor chips).

Solution

Run the sysamcap DEFAULT command on the physical machine or control domain for the virtualization technology (for example, VMware ESX console, or XEN dom0), then set the environment variable reported prior to running the product or product installer. The process is described in the SYSAM Sub-capacity Licensing section of the SySAM 2 Users Guide.



12.4 Do Not Install SAP IQ into the Same Directory as Other Products

Do not install SAP IQ 16.1 into the same directory as other SAP IQ products.

Installing SAP IQ 16.1 into the same directory with older SAP products may render some or all of these products unusable.

Status: ERROR

Solution

When installing, you selected an existing directory instead of a new directory.

Set the $SYBASE environment variable.

12.6 Database Upgrade Issues

Important information about database upgrades.

For detailed information about upgrading SAP IQ, see Upgrade to SAP IQ 16.1 SP 04 [page 137].


Shut Down All Products That Use $SYBASE Before Upgrade

[CR #750748] The SYBASE variable identifies the location of the common parent directory shared by SAP applications like SAP ASE and SAP Open Client.

Failure to shut down all products that use $SYBASE may generate signal 11 (SIGSEGV) errors when you upgrade SAP IQ.

SolutionShut down all SAP applications, restart the SAP IQ server, and retry the upgrade.

Drop All JOIN and All LD Indexes

[CR #702052] On multiplex, drop all logical servers named AUTO, COORDINATOR, ALL or DEFAULT.

If you do not drop these objects and try to run an ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE in SAP IQ 16.1, the upgrade fails and the server returns a message that indicates that a database upgrade is not possible when these objects are in use.

Recovery InformationTo recover from a failed upgrade, shut down the 16.1 server, open the database with SAP IQ 15.x, and drop all LD and all JOIN indexes as well as any named logical servers before proceeding with the migration.

ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE Fails with the Error "Not allowed while 'DBA' is using the database"

[CR #675890] Database upgrade procedures in the Installation and Configuration Guide instruct you to use several startup flags to start or restart a server. If SAP IQ Cockpit is running, or another process that automatically connects to SAP IQ, you must increase the number of connections using the -gm flag or the upgrade fails.

In an environment where many processes automatically connect to SAP IQ, consider temporarily starting SAP IQ on a different port using the -x flag. This option prevents all existing processes from connecting to IQ since the port will be unknown to them. You can also use this method for any maintenance task that requires SAP IQ connectivity to be limited.

For example, the SAP IQ upgrade procedure follows this sequence for a simplex server:

1. Shut down the server, then restart with these startup flags: -gm 1 -iqro 12. Run ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE. SAP IQ returns an error:

Not allowed while 'DBA' is using the databaseSimilarly, the IQ multiplex upgrade procedure follows this sequence:

1. Shut down the multiplex, then restart the coordinator with these startup flags:

-iqmpx_sn 1 -gm 1 -iqro 1



2. Run ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE. IQ returns an error:

Not allowed while 'DBA' is using the database

Solution 1The -gm switch controls the number of connections when you start the server.

1. Start the server with -gm 2 (which allows two connections), or drop the existing connection, which is used by SAP IQ Cockpit when the server starts.

2. Verify the number of connections using the sp_iqconnection command.3. If necessary, drop any connections used by SAP IQ Cockpit (or other processes) using the DROP

CONNECTION <id_number> command.

Solution 2Temporarily start IQ on a different port using the –x switch: The –x switch controls the port that IQ uses when you start the server.

● On a simplex server, use the –x switch to specify a new port number:

start_iq @yourserver.cfg yourdb.db -x 'tcpip{port=<new_port>}'

● On a multiplex server, use both the –x switch and the iqmpx override switch to specify a new port number:

start_iq @yourserver.cfg yourdb.db -iqmpx_ov 1 -x 'tcpip{port=<new_port>}'

Block Number Issues May Cause Corruption

Issues with certain block numbers may cause corruption in upgraded databases. For more information, see SAP Note 2034975 .

12.7 SAP IQ and Other SAP Products

Issues you should know when you install SAP IQ with other SAP products.

GUI Installation Hangs with .com.zerog.registry.xml File

[CR #736702] InstallAnywhere uses a temporary registry file (.com.zerog.registry.xml) to track software installations. InstallAnywhere normally deletes this file, but in some cases, the registry may become corrupt and cause the installer or uninstaller to hang.

SolutionIf this occurs, force quit InstallAnywhere, rename .com.zerog.registry.xml, and re-run the installation or uninstallation.



The location of the .com.zerog.registry.xml is determined by who performs the installation or uninstallation. For root users, this file is located in /var directory; for other users, the $HOME directory.

12.8 Incorrect CPU Count on AIX Servers

You may encounter incorrect CPU counts on AIX servers.

Client Connections May Fail When Server Performs License Checks

[CR #670991] Client connections to an AIX server may occasionally fail when the server performs periodic CPU license checks. This can sometimes result in an incorrect CPU count.

Solution

If you find that CPU counts are no longer correct, use this command to reset the SYBASE_SAM_CPUINFO environment variable that controls the license counting mechanism:

Set SYBASE_SAM_CPUINFO=ORIGINAL

Incorrect Core Count when SMT is Greater Than 2 Per Core

[CR #656959] SAP IQ may incorrectly count more cores than are actually present on AIX POWER7 systems when Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) is greater than 2 per core. This may result in the SAP IQ server not starting due to licensing problems, or the server may start in grace mode.

Solution

Turn off hyperthreading, configure SMT equal to 2 per core, or contact Technical Support.

12.9 Installing New System Tables Requires ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE ON

To install new system tables, you must run ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE ON on existing databases after installing SAP IQ 16.1.

For syntax, see SAP IQ SQL Reference guide.

14.3.1.3 Before You Begin

This support package includes changes to the system tables and database schema. Objects no longer supported by SAP IQ 16.1 must be removed or modified before a database upgrade.

Prerequisites

In SAP IQ 16.1, continuous NBit dictionary compression replaces FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) byte dictionary compression. Flat FP indexes require more storage space than in earlier releases due to different architecture. Plan for increased storage space requirements.

Procedure

1. Use the DISCONNECT statement to disconnect all users from the 15.x server.2. Drop all JOIN and all LD indexes from the 15.x database.3. Update DATE columns that contain a time portion.

There is a known issue that affects any partition defined on a DATE column that contains a time portion:○ Use ALTER TABLE MERGE to combine the partition with the next partition.○ Use ALTER TABLE SPLIT to divide the resulting partition into a definition with the same criteria, but

no time portion.4. Drop and re-create all SAP IQ 15.2 TEXT indexes that have not already been dropped and re-created as part

of a version 15.2 ESD upgrade.

TEXT indexes created in SAP IQ 15.2 are incompatible with later versions of SAP IQ.5. Shut down the SAP IQ 15.x server or multiplex.

If the server stops responding during shutdown, do not proceed to the next step. Restart the database and shut it down again. Proceed to the next task only on a clean shutdown.

Conceptual Changes Between 15.4.x and 16.x [page 153]There are several significant conceptual changes between 15.4.x and 16.x with respect to system procedures, logical servers and the security model. Review these changes before using SAP IQ16.1SP 04.

14.3.4.1 Query Performance Enhancements

SAP IQ 16.1 SP 03 introduces the feature zone maps to potentially improve query performance.

To take advantage of this feature after upgrading to SAP IQ 16.1 SP 04 requires you to rebuild some FP indexes.

For details, see "Zone Maps" in the SAP IQ Performance and Tuning Guide.

14.3.4.2 Database Status Post Upgrade

SAP IQ 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. You must explicitly change several compatibility settings to complete the upgrade to 16.1.

Indexes

● Continuous NBit dictionary compression replaces FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) byte dictionary compression. FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) indexes roll over to NBit(8), NBit(16), and NBit(24), respectively. All data types except LOB (both character and binary) and BIT data types may be NBit columns.If FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY is OFF, IQ UNIQUE determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit.

● New tiered HG index structure decouples load performance from HG index size. In 15.x, load throughput could degrade as the amount of data in an HG index increased. As the index grew, loading the same amount of data could take more time. The new tiered structure decouples load performance from the HG index size to increase throughput.The CREATE_HG_WITH_EXACT_DISTINCTS option determines whether newly created HG indexes are tiered or non-tiered. If this option is ON, all new HG indexes are non-tiered. To take advantage of the new



structure, set this option to OFF. Use sp_iqrebuildindex to convert non-tiered HG indexes to tiered HG, and vice versa.

Column Constraints

IQ UNIQUE determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit.

In SAP IQ 16.1, IQ UNIQUE explicitly defines the expected cardinality of a column and determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit. Columns retain their IQ UNIQUE value during a 15.x to 16.1 database upgrade.

Setting IQ UNIQUE to 0 loads the column as Flat FP. Columns without an IQ UNIQUE constraint or columns with an IQ UNIQUE <n> value that is less than the limit defined by the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT option is not necessary. Auto-size functionality automatically sizes all low or medium cardinality columns as NBit. Use IQ UNIQUE in cases if you want to load the column as Flat FP or if you want to load as NBit and the number of distinct values exceeds the auto-size limits.

Database Options

The following database options control NBit behavior and HG indexes.

Option Description

FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY

Provides tokenized FP support similar to that available in 15.x. This option is ON by default in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x and OFF in all newly created 16.1 databases.

● If this option is ON, the database engine uses the MINIMIZE_STORAGE, FP_LOOKUP_SIZE, and FP_LOOKUP_SIZE_PPM options to optimize column storage. These options are ignored in 16.1.

● If this option is OFF, the database engine ignores 15.x options and columns conform to SAP IQ 16.1 NBit storage options.

Set this option to OFF to take advantage of NBit column compression.

CREATE_HG_WITH_EXACT_DISTINCTS

Determines whether new HG indexes explicitly created with a CREATE INDEX command, or implicitly creating or altering a table with a PRIMARY KEY or a FOREIGN KEY declaration, are tiered or non-tiered. This option is ON in 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x and all newly created 16.1 databases. If this option is ON, all new HG indexes are non-tiered. To take advantage of the new tiered HG index structure, set this option to OFF.

Use sp_iqrebuildindex to convert non-tiered HG indexes to tiered HG, and vice versa.

CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICAL_DELETE

Governs 16.1 delete behavior for tiered HG indexes. This option determines whether SAP IQ performs a physical delete immediately or defers the delete to a point later in the load.

CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICAL_DELETE is ON by default, which instructs SAP IQ to perform physical deletes.


Option Description

REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER

Forces the query optimizer to mimic SAP IQ 15.x behavior. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER is ON by default in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER is OFF by default in all newly created SAP IQ 16.1 databases.

If you plan to use SAP IQ 16.1 hash partitioning features, set the REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER to OFF.

Startup Options

Some load operations may require more memory than the 2 GB default provides. If memory requirements exceed the default, use the -iqlm startup option to increase the memory that SAP IQ can dynamically request from the OS. Set -iqlm as a switch as part of the command or configuration file that starts the server.

Generally, large memory requirements represent one third of the total available physical memory allocated to SAP IQ. To ensure adequate memory for the main and temporary IQ stores, set the -iqlm, -iqtc, and -iqmc startup parameters so that each parameter receives one third of all available physical memory allocated to SAP IQ.

In most cases, you should allocate 80% of total physical memory to SAP IQ to prevent SAP IQ processes from being swapped out. Adjust actual memory allocation to accommodate other processes running on the same system. For example, on a machine with 32 cores and 128 GB of total available physical memory, you would allocate 100 GB (approximately 80% of the 128 GB total) to SAP IQ processes. Following the general rule, you would set the -iqlm, -iqtc, and -iqmc parameters to 33 GB each.

Object Names

Reserved words cannot be used as object names.

An SAP IQ 15.x database could contain tables, columns, and other objects named row. In SAP IQ 16.1, row is a reserved word and cannot be used as an object name.

To use a reserved word as an object name, enclosed the object name in brackets (regardless of the QUOTED_IDENTIFIER setting) or double quotes (if QUOTED_IDENTIFIER='ON' [default]):

// QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON | OFF select * from [row];alter table row2 rename [row] to col_row;// QUOTED_IDENTIFIER='ON'select "row" from row2; alter table "row" rename rownew;

Stored Procedures

Use these stored procedures to review and change column constraints and indexes.



Procedure Name Description

sp_iqcolumnmetadata Returns index metadata for all columns in one or more tables.

sp_iqindexmetadata Returns details about column indexes, including the index types (Flat FP, NBit, HG, and tiered HG), distinct counts, IQ UNIQUE value, and NBit dictionary size.

sp_iqrebuildindex Rebuilds FP indexes (Flat FP as NBit, or NBit as Flat FP) and HG indexes (single HG as tiered HG, or tiered HG as single HG). Before you can insert or update new data, you must rebuild all columns greater than 255 bytes wide.

The index_clause can reset IQ UNIQUE <n> to an explicit value from 0 (to recast an NBit column to Flat FP) up to the limits defined in the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT and FP_NBIT_LOOKUP_MB options.

sp_iqrebuildindex also enables read-write access to columns that contain large object (LOB) data. LOB columns migrated from 15.x databases are read-only until you run sp_iqrebuildindex.

The estimated cardinality for NBit columns with an IQ UNIQUE value below or equal to the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT is stored as 0 regardless of the FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY setting. This affects the value returned from sp_iqindexmetadata.

sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata

Identifies wide columns that you must rebuild before they are available for read/write activities. sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata also generates a list of statements that you can use to rebuild the columns.

This applies to CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, and VARBINARY columns wider than 255 characters, as well as all Long Varchar and Long Binary columns.

14.3.4.3 Conceptual Changes Between 15.4.x and 16.x

There are several significant conceptual changes between 15.4.x and 16.x with respect to system procedures, logical servers and the security model. Review these changes before using SAP IQ16.1SP 04.

In this section:

System Procedures [page 154]Enhanced role-based security changes the way privileged system procedures run.

Logical Servers [page 158]An SAP IQ 16.1 multiplex database upgrade changes the way users access multiplex servers. Starting with SAP IQ 15.4, logical servers provide the only means to access the multiplex server nodes.

Role-Based Security Model [page 158]New SAP IQ 16.x role-based security replaces the authority-based security model.

14.3.4.3.1 System Procedures

Enhanced role-based security changes the way privileged system procedures run.

In this section:

System Procedure Changes [page 154]Prior to SAP IQ 16.1, privileged system procedures ran with the privileges of its owner, typically the dbo system role; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model. In 16.x, privileged system procedures run with the privileges of the person executing it; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model.

Pre-16.x Privileged System Procedures [page 155]A list of pre-16.x privileged system procedures.

Regrant EXECUTE Privilege [page 157]When you upgrade a database, there is a set of privileged system procedures for which you must regrant the EXECUTE privilege if the upgraded database continues to use the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER security model.

14.3.4.3.1.1 System Procedure Changes

Prior to SAP IQ 16.1, privileged system procedures ran with the privileges of its owner, typically the dbo system role; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model. In 16.x, privileged system procedures run with the privileges of the person executing it; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model.

NoteThis behavior change applies to SAP IQ privileged system procedures only, and not to user-defined stored procedures.

In the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model, when you grant a user explicit EXECUTE object-level privilege on a system procedure, any privileges required to run any authorized tasks associated with the system procedure are automatically inherited from the owner (definer of the system procedure).

In the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model, the EXECUTE object-level privilege for each system procedure is granted to the PUBLIC role. Since, by default, every user is a member of the PUBLIC role, every user automatically inherits the required EXECUTE object-level privilege. Any additional system privileges needed to run the system procedure are not inherited; you must now directly or indirectly grant them to the user.

This behavior change might create a loss of functionality on custom stored procedures and applications that explicitly grant EXECUTE object-level privilege on system procedures. For this reason, the default upgrade process for pre- 16.x database uses a combination of the two models. Privileged system procedures that existed in IQ versions earlier than 16.x continue to run using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model, while any privileged system procedures introduced in 16.x or later use the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model.



You can override the default upgrade behavior so that all privileged system procedures for all versions use only the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model if the potential loss of functionality is not a concern. If you are unsure of potential loss of functionality, upgrade your database to use the default behavior, then investigate. If you determine that it is not an issue, and you want all system procedures to run using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model, use the ALTER DATABASE statement to change the default security model. When you override the default upgrade behavior, the EXECUTE object-level privilege to run privileged system procedures is revoked from all users and roles and granted to the PUBLIC role.

To specify a security model, use the CREATE DATABASE statement, ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE statement, or the Initialization utility (iqinit).

Once a database is upgraded to SAP IQ 16.1 , the default upgrade behavior for any subsequent upgrades (for example to 16.1 SP 02, SP 03, and so on) is to continue to use the current security model.

There is a small subset of pre- 16.x privileged system procedures that has always run with the privileges of the user running the procedure, rather than the owner of the procedure. In addition to EXECUTE object-level privilege on the system procedure, you must be granted additional system privileges that are specific to the system procedure.

When running privileged system procedures using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model, the DBO system role is typically the owner of the procedures. By default, the dbo system role is granted the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role. This ensures that the role is indirectly granted all privileges necessary to execute system procedures. Migrating the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role can result in the dbo system role losing the ability to execute privileged system procedures. See Implications of Migrating Compatibility Roles [page 204] for details.

14.3.4.3.1.2 Pre-16.x Privileged System Procedures

A list of pre-16.x privileged system procedures.

Privileged System Procedures Using the Combined Security Model

For these privileged system procedures, if the database is configured to use SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER, you only need EXECUTE object-level privilege on the procedure to run it. If the database is configured to use SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER, you also need the individual system privileges required by each procedure. Refer to SAP IQ SQL Reference for the system privileges required to run each system procedure.

Privileged System Procedures Using Invoker Privileges

These pre-16.x privileged system procedures run with the privileges of the user who is running the procedure, not the owner of the procedure, regardless of the security model setting. Therefore, in addition to the EXECUTE object-level privilege on the system procedure, which is, by default, granted through membership in PUBLIC role, you must also be granted the additional system privileges required by the system procedure. See the SAP IQ SQL Reference for the system privileges required to run each system procedure.

● sa_describe_shapefile● sa_get_user_status● sa_locks● sa_performance_diagnostics● sa_report_deadlocks● sa_text_index_stats



14.3.4.3.1.3 Regrant EXECUTE Privilege

When you upgrade a database, there is a set of privileged system procedures for which you must regrant the EXECUTE privilege if the upgraded database continues to use the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER security model.

The system procedures for which you must regrant the privilege are:

● sa_audit_string● sa_checkpoint_execute● sa_disable_auditing_type● sa_disk_free_space● sa_enable_auditing_type● sa_external_library_unload● sa_flush_cache● sa_list_external_library● sa_server_option● sa_procedure_profile● sa_procedure_profile_summary● sa_table_page_usage● sa_validate

To determine the security model of your upgraded database, execute:

select IF ((HEXTOINT(substring(db_property('Capabilities'), 1,length(db_property('Capabilities'))-20)) & 8) = 8) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END IF

A value of 1 indicates the database is using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model. A value of 0 indicates that the database is using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER.

The MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege is required to grant the EXECUTE object-level privilege.

To grant the privilege, execute:

GRANT EXECUTE ON [ <owner>.] { <procedure-name> | <user-defined-function-name> } TO <userID> [, …]

14.3.4.3.2 Logical Servers

An SAP IQ 16.1 multiplex database upgrade changes the way users access multiplex servers. Starting with SAP IQ 15.4, logical servers provide the only means to access the multiplex server nodes.

Upgrading a multiplex database creates an appropriate logical server for each server-specific login policy. Login policies are updated to use a logical server configuration that provides access to the same set of multiplex servers as prior to upgrade.

If a login policy does not allow access to any node (such as when the base setting of LOCKED is ON and there are no multiplex server-level overrides), the login policy is set to a system-defined logical server, NONE, instead of creating a new logical server. NONE indicates that the login policy does not allow access to any multiplex server.

If a login policy has no explicit setting for the LOCKED option, either at the base level or via a multiplex server-level override, no logical server is created for that policy. Such a login policy inherits the logical server assignment of the root login policy.

● Membership configuration of a logical server provides access to the same multiplex nodes as the corresponding 15.x login policy. If the login policy allowed access to the current coordinator server, a logical membership of the coordinator is also added to the logical server.

● Logical server names are derived from login policy names. If the login policy name is fewer than 126 characters, the logical server follows this naming convention: LS_<login policy name>. For example, for a login policy named mpx_grp1, a logical server LS_mpx_grp1 is created and assigned to that login policy.If the login policy name exceeds 125 characters, a logical server is created with the same name as of the login policy, that is, without adding an LS_ prefix.

● During the upgrade, some login policy option settings or multiplex server-level overrides are reset or removed. In the root login policy, LOCKED and MAX_CONNECTIONS overrides are reset to default values ('OFF' and 10, respectively).Settings for LOCKED and MAX_CONNECTIONS are removed from user-defined login policies. Multiplex server-level overrides are removed from all login policies.

● To retain preupgrade behavior for existing applications, the LOGIN_REDIRECTION login policy option is added to the root logical server policy with its value set to off.

See Manage Resources Through Logical Servers in SAP IQ Administration: Multiplex.

14.3.4.3.3 Role-Based Security Model

New SAP IQ 16.x role-based security replaces the authority-based security model.

In this section:

What Happened to Authorities, Permissions, and Groups? [page 160]SAP IQ 16.x introduces a role-based security model. Earlier versions used authorities, permissions, object-level permissions, and groups. The role-based security model uses roles, system privileges, object-level privileges, and user-extended roles.

Authorities Become Compatibility Roles [page 161]



When you upgrade to 16.1, users who are granted authorities in the earlier version are automatically granted an equivalent compatibility role. If users could previously administer the authority, they can administer the compatibility role in 16.0.

Permissions Become Privileges [page 162]SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x used object-level permissions such as ALTER and SELECT for tables and views. These permissions are now called object-level privileges.

Groups Become Roles [page 162]When you upgrade an IQ database earlier than 16.0, each group is converted to an equivalent user-extended role of the same name. Members of the original group are automatically granted the new role and all of its underlying system privileges. Authorities and object-level permissions granted to the original group are converted to equivalent compatibility roles and system privileges and are granted to the user-extended role.

Change to Concept of a Super-User (DBA Authority) [page 163]In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, the DBA user was often considered a super-user by virtue of being granted the DBA authority. The DBA user continues to exist in 16.x, however, the concept has changed.

Changes to the GRANT Statement Syntax [page 164]The GRANT syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported, but deprecated. If you have applications that use the pre- 16.x GRANT statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for roles and privileges.

Changes to REVOKE Statement Usage [page 166]The REVOKE syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported but deprecated. If you have applications that use the pre- 16.x REVOKE statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for roles and privileges.

Changes to REMOTE DBA [page 168]The REMOTE DBA authority is replaced by the SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE system role. This role allows user to administer replication.

Changes in Inheritance Behavior [page 168]In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.0, when you granted the DBA, REMOTE DBA, BACKUP, RESOURCE, and VALIDATE authorities to a group, the underlying permissions were not inherited by members of the group.

Changes in Administering the Database Publisher [page 169]In 16.x, the PUBLISH authority is replaced by the PUBLIC.db_publisher database option. You change the publisher by changing the database option.

Compatibility Roles [page 169]Compatibility roles exist for backward compatibility with versions of SAP IQ earlier than 16.0 that support authority-based security.

Backward Compatibility in SAP IQ 16.1 [page 205]Grant and revoke syntax for role-based security differs significantly from authority-based security. However, SAP IQ 16.1 is fully backward compatible with authority-based syntax.

Stored Procedure to Map Authorities to System Roles [page 205]The sp_auth_sys_role_info stored procedure generates a report, which maps each authority to a corresponding system role name.

Connecting to SAP IQ 15.x Databases with SAP IQ 16.x [page 206]Role-based syntax is not supported in SAP IQ 15.x databases.


14.3.4.3.3.1 What Happened to Authorities, Permissions, and Groups?

SAP IQ 16.x introduces a role-based security model. Earlier versions used authorities, permissions, object-level permissions, and groups. The role-based security model uses roles, system privileges, object-level privileges, and user-extended roles.

NoteYou can use an SAP IQ 16.x server with an IQ database from an earlier version (pre- 16.x). When you do, full backward compatibility is provided for that database, and its security model is not changed.

In pre- 16.x, authorities are database-level permissions. For example, a user with BACKUP authority can back up the database. Some authorities bundle object-level permissions. For example, a user with PROFILE authority can perform application profiling and database tracing tasks, which involve using system procedures that are not otherwise available for use. You cannot create new authorities, alter the permissions they comprised, or drop them. You can grant administrative rights (WITH GRANT), but cannot limit the grant to administrator rights only.

In 16.x, roles replace authorities, with the added benefit that you can create new roles, alter the system privileges granted, and drop them. Roles and privileges provide a more granular control when granting system privileges to users. You can also grant roles to users with administrative rights only. A user can then grant and revoke the role, but cannot exercise the underlying privileges.

In pre- 16.x, permissions allowed you to create, modify, query, use, or delete database objects such as tables, views, and users.

In 16.x, system privileges replace permissions in functionality. Every privileged operation that you can perform on a database object now has a grantable system privilege. You can grant system privileges individually to users or to a role.

In 16.x, the meaning of permissions has changed. In pre- 16.x versions, a permission meant a grantable capability. Now, permission means the result of an evaluation of whether an operation can be performed. For example, you have permission to alter the table if you are the owner or you have the ALTER ANY TABLE system privilege.

In pre- 16.x, groups were a collection of one or more users whose authorities and permissions were determined at the group level. A user was granted group status, and then other users were granted membership in that group.

In 16.x, the group paradigm is achieved using user-extended roles. If you have a user with a set of privileges that you want to grant to other users, you extend the user to become a user-extended role, and then grant that role to other users.

Upgrading a pre- 16.x database automatically converts your existing authority, permission, and group hierarchy into an equivalent role, privilege, and user-extended role hierarchy. Every pre- 16.x authority has a compatibility role. These roles are easily identifiable because their names start with SYS_AUTH. Compatibility roles contain the system privileges required to perform the same operations as the corresponding previous authority.

To take full advantage of the control and granularity of privileges available with role-based security, SAP recommends that, after migration, you review the compatibility role grants of each user and adjust membership and system privilege grants as necessary.



14.3.4.3.3.2 Authorities Become Compatibility Roles

When you upgrade to 16.1, users who are granted authorities in the earlier version are automatically granted an equivalent compatibility role. If users could previously administer the authority, they can administer the compatibility role in 16.0.

The naming convention for each compatibility role retains the original authority name, but is prefaced with "SYS_AUTH_" and suffixed with "_ROLE". For example, the authority BACKUP becomes the role SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROLE, authority RESOURCE becomes role SYS_AUTH_RESOURCES_ROLE, and so on.

You cannot modify compatibility roles. However, you can migrate them to a user-defined role, and then modify them. When you migrate a compatibility role to a user-defined role, all users who are granted the compatibility role are granted the new user-defined role. Once each underlying system privilege is granted to at least one other role, you can drop the compatibility role. To restore compatibility roles, use the CREATE ROLE statement.

SQL statements are backward compatibility to support applications that grant or revoke authorities. However, the old syntax is deprecated and SAP recommends that you changed your applications to use the new SQL syntax for roles.

This table shows each authority and its equivalent compatibility role.

Authority Compatibility Role Description

BACKUP SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROLE

Allows a user to back up databases and transaction logs with archive or image backups by using the BACKUP DATABASE statement or dbbackup utility.

DBA SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE

SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE

SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE

Allows users to perform all possible privileged operations. Users with the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role can create database objects and assign ownership of these objects to other user IDs, change table structures, create new user IDs, revoke permissions from users, back up the database, and so on.

Of the possible privileged operations that the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role can perform, the SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE compatibility role allows the user to perform all database administration-related activities, such as creating tables, and backing up data.

Of the possible privileged operations that the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role can perform, the SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE compatibility role allows the user to perform the security and access-related administration activities, such as creating users, and granting privileges on objects.

PROFILE SYS_AUTH_PROFILE_ROLE

Allows a user to perform profiling, tracing, and diagnostic operations.

READCLIENTFILE SYS_AUTH_READCLIENTFILE_ROLE

Allows a user to read files on the client computer, for example when loading data from a file on a client computer.

READFILE SYS_AUTH_READFILE_ROLE

Allows a user to use the OPENSTRING clause in a SELECT statement to read a file.


Authority Compatibility Role Description

REMOTE DBA SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE system role

SYS_REPLICATION_ADMIN_ROLE system role

Allows a SQL Remote user to perform replication activities by using the dbremote and dbmisync utilities. It does not, however, allow administration of replication.

The SYS_REPLICATION_ADMIN_ROLE system role is provided for replication administration.

RESOURCE SYS_AUTH_RESOURCE_ROLE

Allows a user to create database objects, such as tables, views, stored procedures, and triggers.

VALIDATE SYS_AUTH_VALIDATE_ROLE

Allows a user to perform database, table, index, and checksum validation by using the VALIDATE statement or dbvalid utility.

WRITECLIENTFILE SYS_AUTH_WRITECLIENTFILE_ROLE

Allows a user to write to files on a client computer, for example, when using the UNLOAD TABLE statement to write data to a client computer.

WRITEFILE SYS_AUTH_WRITEFILE_ROLE

Allows a user to execute the xp_write_file system procedure.

In an authority-based security model, there was no way to limit the grant if a user did not need all of the permissions vested in an authority. This resulted in users often being granted more permissions than necessary, a potential security concern. The role-based security model addresses this concern by allowing system privileges to be granted at a granular level.

Since the migration process ensures that all existing privileges are preserved at the user and group level, SAP recommends that, after migration, you review the compatibility role grants for each user and adjust membership as necessary.

14.3.4.3.3.3 Permissions Become Privileges

SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x used object-level permissions such as ALTER and SELECT for tables and views. These permissions are now called object-level privileges.

When you upgrade your database, users granted permissions are automatically granted the equivalent object-level privileges.

SQL statements that grant or revoke object-level permissions/privileges still work.

In addition to object-level privileges, there are now grantable system privileges for every authorized operation.

14.3.4.3.3.4 Groups Become Roles

When you upgrade an IQ database earlier than 16.0, each group is converted to an equivalent user-extended role of the same name. Members of the original group are automatically granted the new role and all of its underlying system privileges. Authorities and object-level permissions granted to the original group are converted to equivalent compatibility roles and system privileges and are granted to the user-extended role.



If an authority was inheritable, grantees of the new user-extended role inherit the underlying system privileges of the equivalent compatibility role. If the authority was not inheritable, the grantees of the user-extended role do not inherit the underlying system privileges of the equivalent compatibility role. If the legacy group had a password, only the extended user of the user-extended role inherits the underlying system privileges of the compatibility role that is not inheritable.

System groups become system roles with the same name.

Group/System Role Description

dbo This role owns many system stored procedures, views, and tables.

diagnostics This role owns the diagnostic tables and views, and can perform operations on them.

PUBLIC This role has SELECT permission on the system tables. Any new user ID is automatically granted the PUBLIC role.

ra_systabgroup This role allows users to perform replication server functionality.

SYS This role owns the system tables and views (IQ catalog) for the database, and can perform operations on them.

SYS_SPATIAL_ADMIN_ROLE This role allows users to create, alter, or drop spatial objects.

14.3.4.3.3.5 Change to Concept of a Super-User (DBA Authority)

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, the DBA user was often considered a super-user by virtue of being granted the DBA authority. The DBA user continues to exist in 16.x, however, the concept has changed.

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, you created a super-user by granting a user DBA authority. Users with DBA authority can perform any privileged task in the system. When you upgrade your database to 16.x, any users granted DBA authority are granted the equivalent SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role and become a super-user. After migration, the super-user itself must be managed to preserve its super-user abilities.

When you create a new role without specify an administrator, users with the MANAGE ROLES system privilege (global administrators) can administer the role. Since MANAGE ROLES is one of the system privileges granted to the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role, super-users can administer new roles.

However, if you create a new role and assign administrators, administration is then limited to only those administrators; global administrators, and thus super-users, cannot administer the role. You must explicitly assign the super-user as an administrator of the role.

You can migrate the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role to a user-defined role, and eventually drop it. Since the ability of the super-user to perform any privileged task is dependent on the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role, before you drop the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role, you must grant the super-user membership in the new user-defined role or grant each of the underlying system privileges directly or indirectly to the super-user.


14.3.4.3.3.6 Changes to the GRANT Statement Syntax

The GRANT syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported, but deprecated. If you have applications that use the pre- 16.x GRANT statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for roles and privileges.

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, DBA, REMOTE DBA, RESOURCE, and VALIDATE authorities were not inheritable. When you upgrade your database to 16.x, the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause ensures that inheritance behavior remains consistent with earlier releases.

Users granted DBA and REMOTE DBA authorities could grant them to others. In 16.x, the WITH ADMIN clause is introduced to ensure that administration rights behavior remains consistent with previous releases.

The following table shows non-inheritable authorities:

Pre-16.x Syntax New Syntax

GRANT DBA TO <grantee> [, …]GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO <grantee> [, …] WITH ADMIN OPTION WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE

14.3.4.3.3.7 Changes to REVOKE Statement Usage

The REVOKE syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported but deprecated. If you have applications that use the pre- 16.x REVOKE statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for roles and privileges.


REVOKE CONNECT FROM <user> DROP USER <user>

REVOKE GROUP FROM <user> DROP <rolename> FROM USER <user> WITH REVOKE

No change

REVOKE INTEGRATED LOGIN FROM <user>No change



REVOKE KERBEROS LOGIN FROM <user> [, … ] AS USER <user>

No change

REVOKE CREATE ON <dbspacename> [, … ] FROM <grantee> [, … ]No change

14.3.4.3.3.8 Changes to REMOTE DBA

The REMOTE DBA authority is replaced by the SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE system role. This role allows user to administer replication.

The GRANT REMOTE DBA statement syntax is still supported but deprecated. Change your applications to grant this new role.

14.3.4.3.3.9 Changes in Inheritance Behavior

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.0, when you granted the DBA, REMOTE DBA, BACKUP, RESOURCE, and VALIDATE authorities to a group, the underlying permissions were not inherited by members of the group.

In 16.0, the default behavior when granting SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE, SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROLE, SYS_AUTH_RESOURCE_ROLE, and SYS_AUTH_VALIDATE_ROLE (formerly DBA, REMOTE DBA, BACKUP, RESOURCE, and VALIDATE) to a user-defined role allows members of the user-defined role to inherit the underlying system privileges of the role. The WITH NO SYSTEM INHERITANCE clause retains the non-inheritance behavior.

To retain the non-inheritance behavior of these roles after upgrading, include the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause in the GRANT ROLE statement, if you have applications that you are changing to use the new GRANT syntax, and want to preserve the non-inheritance behavior.

NoteThe WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause is supported only with these specific roles; any other use results in an error.

For example, you grant User1 the ALTER ANY OBJECT system privilege. You extend User1 to become a role and grant User1 to User2. You want to grant the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role to User1, but you do not want User2 to inherit the system privileges vested to SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE. Execute:

GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO User1 WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE;



14.3.4.3.3.10 Changes in Administering the Database Publisher

In 16.x, the PUBLISH authority is replaced by the PUBLIC.db_publisher database option. You change the publisher by changing the database option.

In IQ versions earlier than 16.x, the database publisher was controlled by using the GRANT PUBLISH and REVOKE PUBLISH statements. You determine the current publisher by querying the CURRENT PUBLISHER special value. The GRANT PUBLISH and REVOKE PUBLISH syntax is still supported, but deprecated.

You can also still query the CURRENT PUBLISHER to determine the current publisher.

The SET ANY SYSTEM OPTION system privilege is required to set PUBLIC.db_publisher.

14.3.4.3.3.11 Compatibility Roles

Compatibility roles exist for backward compatibility with versions of SAP IQ earlier than 16.0 that support authority-based security.

You can grant, revoke, and under specific conditions, delete compatibility roles. You cannot modify any of the underlying system privileges. However, you can migrate compatibility roles to user-defined roles, and then modify the underlying system privileges. When you migrate a compatibility role, all grantees of the compatibility role are automatically granted the user-defined role.

Use the compatibility roles SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE to administer and grant all individual system privileges in a new database. The union of the system privileges of these two roles is granted to the compatibility role SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE. By default, SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is granted to the DBA user with administrative privileges. Thus, all system privileges are initially granted to the DBA user.

You can grant users to, and revoke users from, compatibility roles.

In this section:

Grant Compatibility Roles [page 170]Granting a compatibility role is semantically equivalent to granting each of its underlying system privileges and roles.

Revoking a Compatibility Role [page 200]Revoke a compatibility role from a user or role.

Migrating a Compatibility Role [page 201]Migrate all underlying system privileges of a compatibility role to a user-defined role.

Dropping a Compatibility Role [page 202]All compatibility roles, with the exception of SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE can be dropped. SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE are automatically dropped when SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is dropped.

Re-creating a Compatibility Role [page 203]Re-creates a dropped compatibility role.

Implications of Migrating Compatibility Roles [page 204]


Some system roles are indirectly granted the system privileges necessary to execute privileged tasks through membership in compatibility roles.

14.3.4.3.3.11.1 Grant Compatibility Roles

14.3.4.3.3.11.1.1 Granting SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE

Allows users to perform authorized tasks pertaining to data and system administration responsibilities.

Prerequisites

Administrative privilege over SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE role.

Context

You can grant this role with or without administrative rights. When granted with administrative rights, you can manage (grant and revoke) the role, as well as use any of the underlying system privileges. When granted with administrative rights only, you can manage the role, but not use its underlying system privileges. Finally, when granted with no administrative rights, you can only use its underlying system privileges.

Procedure

To grant the SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE role, execute one of these statements:

Administrative Option Statement

With full administrative rights GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE TO <grantee> [ , … ] WITH ADMIN OPTION

With administrative rights only GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE TO <grantee> [ , … ] WITH ADMIN ONLY OPTION

With no administrative rights GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE TO <grantee> [ , … ] WITH NO ADMIN OPTION

14.3.4.3.3.11.1.3 Granting SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE

Allows users to perform all authorized tasks.

Prerequisites

Administrative privilege over SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role.

Context

This role indirectly grants all compatibility roles, and some system roles, to a user. It is the union of the underlying system privileges of each of these roles that makes the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role the "super" role.


NoteWhen migrating from SAP IQ 15.4 and earlier, the concept of inheritance of the underlying system privileges of this system role represents a change in behavior in SAP IQ 16.0 or later. For SAP IQ 15.4 and earlier behavior, use the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause.


The WITH ADMIN ONLY OPTION clause is invalid when using the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause. The WITH NO ADMIN OPTION clause is valid, but not required, as it is semantically equivalent to the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause.

Procedure

To grant the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role, execute one of these statements:


With full administrative rights GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO <grantee> [ , … ] WITH ADMIN OPTION

With administrative rights only GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO <grantee> [ , … ] WITH ADMIN ONLY OPTION

Procedure

To revoke a compatibility role, execute one of these statements:


Administrative rights only REVOKE ADMIN OPTION FOR ROLE <compatibility_role>

FROM <grantee [,...]>

Membership in the role and

any administrative rights

REVOKE ROLE <compatibility_role>

FROM <grantee [,...]>

14.3.4.3.3.11.3 Migrating a Compatibility Role

Migrate all underlying system privileges of a compatibility role to a user-defined role.

Prerequisites

Administrative privilege over the role being migrated, and the MANAGE ROLES system privilege.

Context

Compatibility roles are immutable, but you can migrate them in their entirety to a new user-defined role. Once migrated, the compatibility role is automatically dropped. This process is systematically equivalent to individually granting each underlying system privilege to a user-defined role, then manually dropping the compatibility role.

During migration:

● A new user-defined role is created.● All system privileges currently granted to the migrating role are granted to the new user-defined role.● All users and roles currently granted to the migrating role are granted to the new user-defined role.● Administrators of the compatibility role continue to be the administrators of the new migrated role.● The compatibility role is dropped.

You cannot use ALTER ROLE to individually migrate the SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE compatibility roles. These two compatibility roles are automatically migrated when SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is migrated.

The name of the new role cannot already exist, or begin with the prefix SYS_ and end with the suffix _ROLE when migrating a compatibility role.


Procedure

To migrate a compatibility role, execute one of these statements:

Compatibility Role Statement

SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE ALTER ROLE <SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE>

MIGRATE TO <new_dba_role_name, new_sa_role_name, new_sso_role_name>

Any other compatibility role ALTER ROLE <compatibility_sys_role_name>

MIGRATE TO <new_role_name>

Example

The following statement migrates SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE to the new roles Custom_DBA_Role, Custom_SA_Role, and Custom_SSO_Role, respectively.

ALTER ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE MIGRATE TO Custom_DBA_Role, Custom_SA_Role, Custom_SSO_Role

This statement migrates the SYS_AUTH_OPERATOR_ROLE role to the new role Custom_Operator_role.

ALTER ROLE SYS_AUTH_OPERATOR_ROLE MIGRATE TO Custom_Operator_Role

In both examples, all users, underlying system privileges, and roles granted to the original roles are automatically migrated to the new roles, then SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE, SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_OPERATOR_ROLE are dropped.

14.3.4.3.3.11.4 Dropping a Compatibility Role

All compatibility roles, with the exception of SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE can be dropped. SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE are automatically dropped when SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is dropped.

Prerequisites

● Administrative privilege over the role being dropped.● Each of the system privileges granted to a compatibility role is granted to at least one user-defined role.



Context

The WITH REVOKE clause is only required when dropping a compatibility role that is currently granted to users or roles. You can re-create any dropped compatibility role. See Re-creating a Compatibility Role [page 203].

Procedure

To delete a compatibility role, execute one of these statements:

Drop Condition Statement

Compatibility role not currently granted to any user or role. DROP ROLE <role_name>*

Compatibility role currently granted to users or roles. DROP ROLE <role_name>* WITH REVOKE

*<role_name> cannot be SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE or SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE.

Related Information

Re-creating a Compatibility Role [page 203]

14.3.4.3.3.11.5 Re-creating a Compatibility Role

Re-creates a dropped compatibility role.

Prerequisites

● MANAGE ROLES system privilege.● Administrative privileges on all of the system privileges granted to the compatibility role being re-created.

Context

Re-creating SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is semantically equivalent to re-creating both the SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE roles; you cannot re-create these two roles separately.

When you re-create any compatibility role other than SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, administrative privileges on the re-created compatibility role are automatically granted to SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, as long as it still exists.


When you re-create any compatibility role other than SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, or SYS_AUTH_PERMS_ADMIN_ROLE, administrative privileges on the re-created compatibility role are automatically granted to SYS_AUTH_PERMS_ADMIN_ROLE, as long as it still exists.

Procedure

To re-create a compatibility role, execute:CREATE ROLE <compatibility_role_name> [ WITH ADMIN [ONLY] <userid [, ...]> ]

14.3.4.3.3.11.6 Implications of Migrating Compatibility Roles

Some system roles are indirectly granted the system privileges necessary to execute privileged tasks through membership in compatibility roles.

You cannot revoke the underlying system privileges of a compatibility role; you must first migrate it to a user-defined role. Only then can you revoke individual underlying system privileges from the new role and grant them to other user-defined roles per the organization's security requirements. This enforces separation of duties.

You can migrate compatibility roles automatically or manually. The method of migration can impact the ability of a system role or the DBO system role to continue performing authorized tasks.

Regardless of the migration method used, once a compatibility role or the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role is dropped, if you revoke a system privilege from the new user-defined role and grant it to another user-defined role, you must do one of the following to ensure that system roles especially the dbo system role, retains all the system privileges required to execute the applicable privileged tasks or multiplex management stored procedures:

● Grant each system privilege revoked from the migrated user-defined role directly to the applicable system roles or dbo role; or

● Grant membership in the user-defined role to which the system privileges are granted to the applicable system roles or dbo system role.

The system roles that are members of compatibility roles, and might potentially be impacted by migration include:

System Role Compatibility Role

dbo SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE

SYS_AUTH_RESOURCE_ROLE

SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE



Automatic Migration

The ALTER ROLE statement creates a new user-defined role, automatically grants all underlying system privileges of the compatibility role to the new user-defined role, makes each member of the compatibility role a member of the new user-defined role, then drops the compatibility role.

Automatic migration assumes that the destination user-defined role does not already exist and that all system privileges are migrated to the same new user-defined role.

Manual Migration

Use the CREATE ROLE statement to create a new user-defined role. Use the GRANT statement to grant each underlying system privilege to one or more users or roles. Use the DROP statement to drop the compatibility role once all underlying system privileges are granted to at least one other user or role.

Members of the migrated compatibility role are not automatically granted membership in the new user-defined role. As a result, members of some system roles may no longer be able to perform the expected privileged tasks once the compatibility role is dropped. You must grant membership in the new user-defined role to the affected system roles or directly grant the required system privileges to affected members.

14.3.4.3.3.12 Backward Compatibility in SAP IQ 16.1

Grant and revoke syntax for role-based security differs significantly from authority-based security. However, SAP IQ 16.1 is fully backward compatible with authority-based syntax.

SAP IQ 16.1 provides well-documented mappings and stored procedures to assist in transition. All stored procedures, functions, and queries created in pre- 16.0 databases will continue to run after upgrading.

14.3.4.3.3.13 Stored Procedure to Map Authorities to System Roles

The sp_auth_sys_role_info stored procedure generates a report, which maps each authority to a corresponding system role name.

A separate row is generated for each authority. No privilege is required to execute the procedure.


14.3.4.3.3.14 Connecting to SAP IQ 15.x Databases with SAP IQ 16.x

Role-based syntax is not supported in SAP IQ 15.x databases.

When using SAP IQ 16.x to connect to a 15.x database, only authority-based syntax is valid. Using role-based syntax returns errors. For example, GRANT ROLE returns an error message; GRANT MEMBERSHIP IN GROUP does not.

Beyond this limitation, there should be no change in functionality and no noticeable change in performance using SAP IQ 16.x with a 15.x database.

14.4 SAP IQ Database Administration Tool

SAP IQ Cockpit provides a personalized work center to administer the SAP IQ database.

The SAP IQ Cockpit Framework is installed as part of an SAP IQ server installation. It provides a view specific to SAP IQ and full access to 16.1 SP 04 features.

The SAP IQ Cockpit Framework manages communication between an SAP IQ Cockpit command and control agent, SAP IQ server, and Web client. The SAP IQ Cockpit agent continually broadcasts information about the server to subscribing clients via the SAP IQ Cockpit framework. Messages from the Web client pass through the SAP IQ Cockpit framework to the agent, which in turn, processes the request on the SAP IQ server.

SAP IQ Cockpit activities range from simple resource monitoring to complete SAP IQ 16.1 SP 04 database administration.

14.5 SAP IQ 12.7 Upgrade and Database Migration

Updating an SAP IQ 12.7 catalog requires a database file migration, not a simple database upgrade. Migration tools bundled with SAP IQ can recreate the legacy database schema and database options.

In this section:

Preparing to Migrate [page 207]Perform these tasks before you migrate your database.

Migration Utilities [page 208]Utilities and support tools bundled with SAP IQ.

Migration Issues [page 215]SAP IQ no longer supports some legacy features. Run iqunload in schema unload mode to generate a script (reload.sql) that contains the entire database schema. Compare the contents of this file to find unsupported syntax and metadata.



Unloading Legacy Schemas [page 223]To unload legacy schema, run iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n ) on the same machine as the legacy schema.

Migrating Legacy Databases [page 224]Run iqunload in database migration mode (iqunload -au) to migrate a legacy database.

Postmigration Tasks [page 240]SAP IQ 16.1 databases upgraded from 12.7 are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. To complete the change from 15.x to 16.1, you must explicitly change several 15.x compatibility settings to complete the 16.1 upgrade.

14.5.1 Preparing to Migrate

Perform these tasks before you migrate your database.

Procedure

1. Upgrade to SAP IQ 12.7 ESD #5. All migration paths assume that you are migrating from SAP IQ 12.7 ESD #5 as a minimum.

2. Regenerate any sort-key values. SAP IQ 12.7 SORTKEY function uses a different sort-key value than SAP IQ 15 and later.

3. Review the collation. SAP IQ no longer supports custom collations. Custom collations are preserved in database rebuilds only if you rebuild the database in a single step. Use a collation included with SAP IQ 15.0 or later.

4. Back up your current installation and save copies of any changes you made to default login and post login scripts. Create your backups on removable media, like tape, DVD, or CD. Make sure the backups are readable.

5. Review and understand the database migration utilities. Use iqunload to re-create the schema for your database or migrate your 12.7 database. iqlsunload utility is available to move 12.7 local stores for 12.7 multiplex servers.

6. Use DROP TABLE statements to drop all global temporary tables before you run the iqunload utility. You can recreate the global temporary tables after migration.

7. Drop all servers of type asejdbc before you run the iqunload utility.

The asejdbc server class is deprecated. Servers of type asejdbc must be dropped prior to running iqunload. 12.7 databases with remote server definitions based on the asejdbc driver will not have these definitions migrated to by the iqunload tool and will not give an error at the beginning of an unload saying that you need to drop any asejdbc servers (if there are any present).

8. Resolve potential migration errors. SAP IQ no longer supports some 12.7 features and objects. Update these objects before you migrate the database.

9. Use sp_iqcheckdb to verify that your 12.7 database is clean and error free.

For information on sp_iqcheckdb output, see Administration: Backup, Restore, and Data Recovery > System Recovery and Database Repair.

14.5.2.1 iqunload for SAP IQ 12.7 Database Migration

A command line utility for SAP IQ 12.7 database migration to re-create the legacy catalog on the new database catalog in the current installation.

iqunload does not change SAP IQ data and temp dbspaces. The utility preserves all legacy database options and applies them to the new database. SAP IQ ignores any legacy options that no longer apply to the current version of the software.

NoteIf you are reloading a 12.7 database, remove any square brackets or back quotes in identifiers; otherwise, the reload fails.

Syntax

iqunload [ <options> ]

Parameters

The iqunload utility takes one or more options.

-ap size

(Optional) sets the page size for the new catalog store.-au

Required for migration mode. Migrates the database.

You cannot specify an -n argument when you specify -au.



-c "keyword = value, ..."

(Required) supplies database connection parameters. You must specify DBF=<database file name> for migration. The file path is either absolute or relative to the server startup directory.-dc

(Optional) recalculates computed columns in the database.-ms_filename

Optional for simplex migration; required for multiplex migration. Use -ms_filename to specify a file name for the new empty IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN store created during the migration.

If not specified, the default new main store is a file system file called new_main_store.iq.-ms_reserve

(Optional) specifies the size of the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN reserve, in MB. If unspecified, defaults to zero.-ms_size

(Optional) specifies the size of the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN store, in MB, based on the database size. The minimum, assuming a default page size, is 200 MB. If you specify an –ms_size value smaller than the computed value, SAP IQ uses the computed value; otherwise the specified value is used.-n

Required for schema unload only. Unloads the schema definition only. The -n parameter requires 12.7 ESD #5 or later.

You cannot specify an -au argument when you specify -n.-new_startline "server startup switches"

(Optional) specifies startup switches for the new server that is the migration target. For a complete list of server startup switches, see start_iq Database Server Startup Utility in the SAP IQ Utility Reference.-o file_name

(Optional) logs output messages to <file_name>.-q

(Optional) suppresses messages and windows.-r file_name

(Optional) specifies the file name.-t list

(Optional) outputs listed tables only. Can specify OwnerName.TableName or TableName alone.-ul

(Optional) unloads password hashes.-v

(Optional) returns verbose messages.-y

(Optional) replaces existing reload schema SQL script with new output without confirmation.


Examples

● Migrates a simplex database to a current server:

iqunload –au –c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=/mydevice/test_dir/test2.db"

● Unloads a legacy database schema and renames the generated SQL script to test2_reload.sql:

iqunload –n -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=/test_dir/test2/test2.db; ENG=myserver_test2" –r "/test_dir/unload_dir/test2_reload.sql"

● Migrates database test3.db. The START connection parameter specifies switches for starting the database being reloaded. The -new_startline parameter specifies switches for starting the utility_db to create the new catalog store:

iqunload –au –c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=test3.db; START=–ch 128M –iqmc 50" –new_startline "–ch 256M –iqtc 400"

Do not include -iqnotemp <XYZ> in the new start line; this causes migration to fail. As part of the migration process, temp files are added to IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP. If you start the server with the -iqnotemp option, iqunload cannot add these temp files

● Migrates the legacy database, asiqdemo.db, using a raw device for the IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN store:

iqunload –au –c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=asiqdemo.db" –ms_filename "/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s3"

Usage

iqunload has two working modes: schema unload and migration.

Schema Unload Modeiqunload requires an -n argument to start in schema unload mode. Schema unload mode unloads a 12.7 ESD #5 database schema, and generates a script (reload.sql) that can re-create the schema for a database in a current version of the software. A -c argument is required for connection parameters:

iqunload -n -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;ENG=my_engine;DBN=my_dbname"

Schema unload mode re-creates the schema, but does not migrate data. To migrate data, extract the legacy data and load the new database.

Migration Modeiqunload requires an -au argument to start in migration mode. iqunload migration mode interfaces with the 12.7 support engine (iqunlspt) and the current database server (iqsrv16):

● Start the legacy database and generate the schema● Start the current SAP IQ server● Create a new database and apply the legacy schema



General Usage

● Insufficient cache memory causes migration errors. iqunload uses default values for various cache sizes (catalog cache, main buffer cache, temp cache). If the legacy database requires higher cache values, use the –ch and -cl options as part of the START connection parameter to increase the cache size.

● During database migration, the server creates a message file (*.iqmsg.R) as it reloads the generated schema. This file is normally deleted as part of a cleanup operation for successful migrations. If the migration fails during the reload stage, cleanup does not occur, and *.iqmsg.R remains in the unload directory. *.iqmsg.R may contain information that can help solve your migration problems.

● iqunload writes some temporary files to the $IQTMP16 (for UNIX) or %IQTMP16% (for Windows) directory, which must be a valid directory name.

● Users with wide tables (large numbers of column/null values) should not decrease the catalog store page size for database migration.

● If the legacy database contains invalid views, SAP IQ completes the migration but issues warnings. A warning may occur, for example, if the tables involved in a view are dropped.

● If the legacy database is encrypted, use the DBKEY connection parameter to provide the encryption key. The migrated database uses the same encryption key.

14.5.2.2 iqlsunload for Local Store Unload

In current multiplex configurations, multiple nodes can write to the main store, which eliminates the need for local stores. iqlsunload is a command line utility that you can use to unload a 12.7 local store. iqlsunload is used only in 12.7 ESD #5 multiplex migrations.

iqlsunload is bundled with all versions of SAP IQ starting with 12.7 ESD #5.

Syntax

iqlsunload [ <options> ] <directory> [ @<data> ] <data>:[ <environment variable> | <file> ]


Parameters

The iqlsunload utility takes one or more options.

-al (Optional) unloads IQ local store schema and data.-c "keyword=value;..." (Optional) supplies database connection parameters.-h (Optional) prints out the syntax (help) for the utility.-o filename (Optional) logs output messages, including errors, to <filename>.-q (Optional) suppresses messages and windows.-r directory (Optional) specifies the directory where SQL scripts are generated. The default reload command file is reload.sql in the current directory. The directory is relative to the current directory of the client application, not the server.-t list (Optional) outputs listed tables only. Can specify OwnerName.TableName or TableName alone. Cannot be specified with al argument.-v (Optional) outputs verbose messages.-y (Optional) replaces existing reload schema SQL script without confirmation.directory Identifies the directory where iqlsunload unloads the data files. Create this directory before you run iqlsunload, or point to an existing directory. This directory must be relative to the database on the database server.

Example

This example unloads local stores from a database called mpxtest2, extracting any table data to the directory /mydevice/test_dir/unload_dir:

iqlsunload -o iqunload_624.out -al -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;ENG=myserver_mpxtest02" /mydevice/test_dir/unload_dir

Usage

● Run iqlsunload from the $IQDIR16/lsunload directory to pick up updated libraries before resolving any IQ 12.7 libraries.

Unloaded ObjectsRunning iqlsunload with an -al argument unloads these persistent objects:

● Base tables● Global temporary tables● Indexes● Domains (user-defined data types)● Constraints (column check constraint, table constraint, primary key, foreign key, unique, default, IQ unique,

not null)

SAP IQ no longer allow users with empty user names. You cannot drop or migrate users with empty user names the 12.6 or 12.7 server. The schema reload operation warns that an empty user name has been encountered and that the user will not be re-created. The reload operation ignores such users and any associated objects.

Unloading Tables

iqlsunload ignores any system tables or nonexistent tables:

● If you extract table schema and data only, the legacy database collation must match the collation of the current database collation.

● If you do not qualify table names with owner names, iqlsunload extracts table data from all tables with that table name.

Output Files

iqlsunload generates these output files:

● reload_schema.sql – re-creates schema for unloaded objects (either objects from local store or tables selected by the user.) This script is executed against a node that writes to the multiplex. This node can be either the existing writer node, or a writer or coordinator for the multiplex after migration, depending on where you plan to re-create the schema.

● extract_data.sql – extracts table data for the unloaded tables from the local store. Execute this script in Interactive SQL while connected to the query node from which it was generated. When this script executes, it generates the data files into the directory data.

● reload_data.sql – loads extracted table data. This script is executed on the node where you ran reload_schema.sql, and reloads the data extracted from the extract_data.sql file.

14.5.2.3 Support Processes

Running iqunload in migration mode (-au) starts iqunlspt and iqsrv16.

iqunlspt

iqunlspt is a self-contained subset of the SAP IQ 12.7 (ESD #5) database engine. It runs as a background process and provides support for legacy database unloads. iqunlspt starts on your legacy database with these options as defaults:

iqunlspt -iqnotemp 100 -iqro 1 -c 48MB -gc 20 -gd all -gk all -gl all -gm 1 -gu all -ti 4400 -x shmem .

If your database requires special switches or memory setting, iqunlspt accepts additional startup arguments. See the Utility Guide.

Default cache settings are sufficient for most migrations. At migration, data queries execute against the system catalogs, not IQ data, so the iqunlspt engine needs lower cache levels than complex queries or multiple concurrent users. The amount of time required to start the legacy database is the same as to start iqunlspt. This time is included in the iqunload startup time.

iqsrv16

iqunload starts iqsrv16 with these options:

iqsrv16 -gp 4096 -c 40p -gc 20 -gd all -gk all -gl all -gm 1 -gu all -qi -qs -ti 4400

iqsrv16 also includes the -n parameter followed by a special randomly generated server name. The -c 40p setting provides a larger cache for the catalog store, allowing the server engine to execute many schema DDL statements. Both server start commands use the default values for -iqmc and -iqtc. If the legacy server requires larger startup values, use the -c switch to increase the server cache memory.

14.5.3 Migration Issues

SAP IQ no longer supports some legacy features. Run iqunload in schema unload mode to generate a script (reload.sql) that contains the entire database schema. Compare the contents of this file to find unsupported syntax and metadata.

14.5.3.1 Unsupported Objects

Check the schema for objects SAP IQ no longer supports.

Object Details Action

Invalid database, table, or user names

Table names cannot contain double quote characters. User names and database names cannot contain double quote characters, single quote, or semicolon characters. User names and database names cannot start or end with a space.

Change the object name.

Reserved logical server names

A logical server cannot be named ALL, AUTO, COORDINATOR, DEFAULT, OPEN, or SERVER.

Drop the logical server before upgrading.

Join indexes Join indexes are no longer supported.iqunload does not run if the database to be migrated contains join indexes.

See "iqunload Utility" in the SAP IQ Utility Reference..

Drop all join indexes before migrating data.

LD indexes LD indexes are no longer supported. Drop all LD indexes before migrating data.


Object Details Action

Database with BLANK PADDING OFF

iqunload searches BLANK PADDING OFF databases for any indexes that would become invalid after migration. iqunload fails and lists indexes and constraints that must be dropped and in which order.

Drop these indexes and constraints before the schema reloads and re-create the indexes and constraints after schema reload has been completed.

Unenforced constraints iqunload fails and lists unenforced constraints that must be dropped.

Drop unenforced constraints before proceeding with migration.

Old 1-byte FP or old 2-byte FP indexes

Databases created with SAP IQ 12.4.2 or earlier may have these indexes. Because these indexes were automatically created by SAP IQ, you cannot drop and re-create them; you must rebuild them.

See "sp_iqrebuildindex Procedure" in the SAP IQ SQL Reference.

Allow iqunload to check for these and list them. Rebuild these indexes using sp_iqrebuildindex before migration. The rebuilt indexes are upgraded.

Troubleshooting Syntax Changes [page 216]Schema Size [page 218]Output Logs [page 219]Data Storage Changes [page 221]Post-Migration Files [page 222]

14.5.3.2 Troubleshooting Syntax Changes

Review the reload script (reload.sql) for legacy syntax that can cause iqunload to fail.

Problem Solution

A DECLARE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE statement in a procedure or trigger causes a syntax error if the table name is prefixed with an owner name.

Remove the owner name.



Problem Solution

If a CREATE TRIGGER statement does not include an owner name for the table on which the trigger is defined, and the table must be qualified with an owner when referenced by the user executing the reload.sql file, the statement fails with a '<table–name>' not found error.

Prefix the table name with the owner name.

If an object name (such as a table, column, variable, or parameter name) corresponds to a reserved word introduced in a later version of SAP IQ, the reload fails. (For reserved words, see Reference: Building Blocks, Tables, and Procedures. For example:

CREATE PROCEDURE p( ) BEGINDECLARE NCHAR INT;SET NCHAR = 1; END

Change all references to the reserved word to use a differ-ent name. For variable names, prefixing the name with @ is a common convention that prevents naming conflicts.

Views that use Transact-SQL outer joins (by specifying *= or =*) may not be created properly when they are reloaded.

Add the following line to the reload script:

SET TEMPORARY OPTION tsql_outer_joins='on'

Also set this option for your database. Rewrite any views or stored procedures that use Transact–SQL outer joins.

Stored procedures that use Transact–SQL outer joins may not work correctly.

Rewrite views and stored procedures.

Functions that have OUT or INOUT parameters cannot be reloaded.

OUT and INOUT parameters are no longer supported. Drop these functions before reloading.

14.5.3.3 Schema Size

Increase the cache memory to migrate large and extremely large schemas.

Large Schemas

Default cache settings for large schemas may be too small and can exhaust dynamic memory in the iqsrv16 server. Use the -c switch to increase the server cache memory and -new_startline to pass the switch to the server.

A diagnostic example includes these switches:

-ca 1 -c 1000m -o /iq15outputdir/iq16console.out

● -ca 1 – enables dynamic catalog cache sizing, and logs memory cache statistics to the console.● -c 1000m – sets the initial catalog cache at 1 GB.● -o /outputdir/iq16console.out – specifies the log file for console output.

Use a text editor to examine the .out file log entries. Watch how the catalog store adjusts the cache and determines if the setting is appropriate.

NoteThe value shown for -c is in bytes. Set switches appropriately for your system. To specify megabytes, use the m suffix, as shown.

Extremely Large Schemas

Running iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n) generates a single script (reload.sql ) that includes the entire legacy schema. In some cases, you may need to break a very large reload.sql file into pieces that can be executed sequentially. This also helps the server manage the cache.

If iqunload fails in migration mode (iqunload -au) because dynamic memory is exhausted, set the cache settings as high as your hardware and operating system limitations allow. If the failure continues, contact SAP for assistance.

Check the output logs to isolate migration problems.

SAP IQ 16.1 Engine Logs

Use the -new_startline "-z -zr all" argument to start iqsrv16 with extra logging:

See the SAP IQ Utility Reference for details about the -z and -zr all parameters.

Server Not Found

A message similar to this indicates that iqunload started the database but could not connect to the server:

SQL error:Database server not found

Check to see if iqunlspt is running and stop the process before retrying iqunload.

For example, here is top output:

Obsolete Stored Procedures

Migration replaces 12.7 login procedures with new login management functions.

sp_login_environment replaces the 12.7 default login procedure DBA.sp_iq_process_login and dbo.sa_post_login_procedure replaces the 12.7 default post-login procedure DBA.sp_iq_process_post_login. iqunload generally replaces obsolete options with new defaults, but if the 12.7 option is set on a specific user instead of PUBLIC (the default), the log file may report errors:

E. 10/31 16:53:40. Login procedure 'DBA.sp_iq_process_login' caused SQLSTATE '52W09' E. 10/31 16:53:40. Procedure 'sp_iq_process_login' not found

14.5.3.5 Data Storage Changes

SAP IQ16.1 migration creates a new catalog store and changes some legacy options.

Dbspaces

In current versions of SAP IQ, all user data should reside in a user dbspace comprised of one or more files. Migration converts main dbspaces into files under one user dbspace: IQ_MAIN, for the SAP IQ main store, and temporary dbspaces into files under a single temporary dbspace, IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP, for a single SAP IQ temporary store. Existing catalog store dbspaces remain as dbspaces with a single file. All of the old main dbspaces become files in the new iq_main user main dbspace. Migration sets the PUBLIC.default_dbspace option to the value iq_main.

Logical names for files created from converted dbspaces are the dbspace name followed by an underscore and the file ID. For example, a main dbspace with file ID 16384 becomes IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN_16384.

Main Store

Migration creates a new system file for the IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace that contains no tables. By default, the name of this file is new_main_store.iq, but you can use the ms_filename argument to specify a different file name. The iqunload utility computes the size of the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN based on the size of your existing database.

If you accept the default settings for iqunload -au -c, the new store marked as MAIN has DBSpaceName = IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN, DBFileName = IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN and path = new_main_store.iq. For multiplex migration, the location of the new main store must be visible to all nodes on the multiplex, and you must use the -ms_filename argument to specify the path instead of the default value of new_main_store.iq.

When you migrate a database, specify the file to use for the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace, its name, whether or not to use a raw device, and the size of the main store and its reserve.

Migrating IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN

Specify the IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN size in the database migration command. The -ms_size parameter requires a value in MB, not GB. Omit -ms_size and -ms_reserve to specify a raw device. For a raw device, you must specify an unused raw partition.

This statement creates an IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN on a raw device:

iqunload -au -ms_filename /dev/rdsk/c1t0d1 -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=latest.db"

14.5.3.6 Post-Migration Files

iqunload generates a set of files derived from the legacy database.

This table lists pre- and post-migration files:

Pre-Migration Post-Migration Files Description

asiqdemo.db asiqdemo.db.before_schema_reload

The 12.7 catalog database. This file is copied at the OS level upon successful migration; it is not a result of the SQL backup command.

asiqdemo.log asiqdemo.log The database log file is regenerated when the migrated database is used with the 16.1 server.

asiqdemo.iq asiqdemo.iq The old SAP IQ 12.7 IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace. This file and all other user dbspaces are unaffected by the migration process. This dbspace is added as a file to a user main dbspace.

asiqdemo.iqtmp

asiqdemo.iqtmp The IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP dbspace. No operations are performed on this dbspace during migration. This file becomes the IQ 16.1 database temporary store.

asiqdemo.iqmsg

asiqdemo.iqmsg.before_schema_reload

The SAP IQ 12.7 message file. This file is copied at the OS level upon successful migration.

asiqdemo.db The new 16.1 migrated catalog database.

new_main_store.iq The new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace for the migrated database.

14.5.4 Unloading Legacy Schemas

To unload legacy schema, run iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n ) on the same machine as the legacy schema.

Procedure

1. Copy these files from $IQDIR16/unload to <$ASDIR>/scripts:

○ unloadold.sql○ unload.sql ○ optdeflt.sql○ opttemp.sql

2. Start the legacy server.3. Run iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n ).

Include the appropriate connection parameters and other startup options. Schema unload mode creates a SQL script (reload.sql) in the current directory that contains the legacy database schema. reload.sql does not contain any checkpoints. For very large schemas, edit reload.sql, to add a few checkpoints. If you do not include extra checkpoints, IQ generates additional metadata objects that requires extra (-iqmc) main cache memory.

reload.sql also contains a CREATE DATABASE template command that is commented out.

4. Create a new 16.1 database.

Set the IQ SIZE and TEMPORARY SIZE clauses to create an IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN of 10 GB and IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP of 5 GB. For example:

CREATE DATABASE 'test.db' IQ PATH 'test.iq'IQ SIZE 10240TEMPORARY PATH 'test.iqtmp' TEMPORARY SIZE 5120

5. Start and connect to the new database.6. Run the reload.sql against the new database.

Execution time roughly approximates the actual time to allow for database migration, excluding validation checks. Correct any errors. Perform this process iteratively until you can cleanly load the legacy schema.


14.5.5 Migrating Legacy Databases

Run iqunload in database migration mode (iqunload -au) to migrate a legacy database.

In this section:

Simplex Migration [page 224]Migrate an SAP IQ 12.7 database simplex database to 16.1.

Multiplex Migration [page 226]Migrate multiplex databases, performing all steps in sequence.

14.5.5.1 Simplex Migration

Migrate an SAP IQ 12.7 database simplex database to 16.1.

1. Migrating the Legacy Database [page 224]Make sure that the database file is not in use, and run the iqunload utility with the -au (migrate database) and -c (connection parameters).

2. Verifying the Migrated Database [page 225]To verify simplex migration, start the migrated database in read-only mode and perform post-migration tasks.

14.5.5.1.1 Migrating the Legacy Database

Make sure that the database file is not in use, and run the iqunload utility with the -au (migrate database) and -c (connection parameters).

This command migrates the simplex database mytest and saves output in unload.out in the current directory:

iqunload –au –c "uid=DBA;pwd=<password>;dbf=mytest" –o unload.out

The database and the iqunload utility must be on the same machine to migrate the database, or iqunload returns an error. -o is an optional switch that sends a copy of the console output to the specified log file, here named unload.out.

Because the example specified DBF=mytest.db, the iqunload utility attempts to connect to this database in the current directory. You can also specify the full path to the database, as shown here:

iqunload -au -c "dbf=/ybrown/iq-16/unload/iq127db.db;uid=DBA;pwd=<password>" Output: Sybase IQ Unload Utility Version 16.0.0.788 Connecting and initializing Unloading user and group definitions Unloading table definitions Unloading index definitions

Next task: Verifying the Migrated Database [page 225]

14.5.5.1.2 Verifying the Migrated Database

To verify simplex migration, start the migrated database in read-only mode and perform post-migration tasks.

Procedure

1. Start the 16.1 database in read-only mode:

start_iq -iqro 1

When starting the coordinator in 16.1, use the same port as the 12.7 writer server.2. Issue a CHECKPOINT command.


3. Run the 16.1 version of sp_iqcheckdb in verify mode:

sp_iqcheckdb ('verify database')

If you run the procedure from Interactive SQL, redirect output to a file by entering:

dbisql -c "..." "sp_iqcheckdb ('verify database')" >& filename

where “...” represents startup parameters for your database.4. Issue a COMMIT statement.

5. Check sp_iqcheckdb results for errors.

If there is an error, you can revert to the previous database as long as you do not restart the database in write mode. To revert to the 12.7 catalog , copy all the .before_schema_reload files to the same file without the .before_schema_load file extension.

6. After you perform the read-only checks, stop the database server and restart in write mode.

Results

Migrate multiplex databases, performing all steps in sequence.

1. Synchronizing the Multiplex Nodes [page 227]Check the SQL Remote and multiplex server log files for synchronization problems.

2. Migrate Local Stores [page 228]To move the 12.7 local stores before migration, use iqlsunload.

3. Start the Multiplex Write Server [page 233]To clean the internal state information, start the write server in single-node mode.

4. Multiplex Migration Parameters [page 234]To migrate the multiplex, run iqunload with the appropriate parameters.

6. Starting the Coordinator [page 237]



Starting the multiplex coordinator in single-node mode (-iqmpx_sn) and read-only (-iqro) performs some initial database checks. For coordinators, the server must reset an identity cookie before you can use the multiplex.

7. Manually Synchronize the Secondary Nodes [page 237]To start the secondary nodes, install SAP IQ 16.1, then synchronize from the coordinator node. When you migrate a query node, it becomes a reader node.

8. Start the Secondary Nodes [page 238]To start the secondary nodes, all nodes of the multiplex must be running.

9. Set the Failover Node [page 239]After you migrate the multiplex data, connect to the coordinator, and set the failover node.

10. Troubleshooting Multiplex Migration [page 239]If you cannot migrate your multiplex database, try this alternate method.

14.5.5.2.1 Synchronizing the Multiplex Nodes

Check the SQL Remote and multiplex server log files for synchronization problems.

Procedure

1. Start the multiplex server.2. Start SQL Remote on all multiplex nodes.

Give the multiplex time to propagate any changes throughout the multiplex. To do this, look at the write server console log file and check that the events starting with ev_iqmpx have successfully executed. By default, the server console log file is created in $ASDIR/logfiles.

For example:

4. Shut down SQL Remote and multiplex servers.If you simply shut down the multiplex servers, the SQL Remote servers detect that the multiplex servers are no longer running and shut themselves down. By default, the SQL Remote servers should shut themselves down within 60 seconds.

5. Shut down query servers in the multiplex. They are no longer required.6. If the logs report no errors, verify the database.

Task overview: Multiplex Migration [page 226]

Next: Migrate Local Stores [page 228]

14.5.5.2.2 Migrate Local Stores

To move the 12.7 local stores before migration, use iqlsunload.

To migrate your local store, consolidate node-specific information into either the existing 12.7 writer or the new SAP IQ 16.1 main store. Customize the process to meet your data requirements.

For query nodes with node- or department-specific information, use tablespaces and partitioning to achieve the same results.

If information is duplicated across your query nodes, you may need to migrate only a single query server's local store. The duplicated information on the other query servers becomes redundant and can be ignored for multiplex migration.

In this section:

Partitioning Query Server Data [page 229]If the same table exists on multiple query nodes, and each node has its own subset of the data, manually edit the local store migration scripts.

Addressing Overlapping Query Server Data [page 229]If the same table exists on each query node with overlapping data sets, you must resolve the issue. Extract the data files to ensure that data sets are unique, or rename the tables and then reload all the unique tables.

14.5.5.2.2.1 Partitioning Query Server Data

If the same table exists on multiple query nodes, and each node has its own subset of the data, manually edit the local store migration scripts.

Context

For a department-specific employee table on each query server, follow these basic steps:

Procedure

1. Unload the schema and data from the query nodes.

The reload_schema.sql script produced for each query node contains the same schema definition for employee.

2. Execute the reload_schema.sql from one of the query nodes against either the existing SAP IQ 12.7 writer or the new SAP IQ 16.1 main store.

3. Execute the reload_data.sql script from each of the query nodes against the same server.

This procedure creates the employee table once but loads each query node data set.

14.5.5.2.2.2 Addressing Overlapping Query Server Data

If the same table exists on each query node with overlapping data sets, you must resolve the issue. Extract the data files to ensure that data sets are unique, or rename the tables and then reload all the unique tables.

Procedure

1. Run iqlsunload against all query servers with local stores that have the data to consolidate.


2. Modify the reload_schema.sql and reload_data.sql files to use the new table names. Do not modify extract_data.sql; it references the table found in the query server's local store.

3. Run extract_data.sql from each node.

Results

The following example shows modifications to the iqlsunload output to carry out step 2. Suppose that the reload_schema.sql script contains:

CREATE TABLE "DBA"."sales_order" "id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (648), "cust_id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (111), "order_date" "datetime" NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (376), "fin_code_id" char(2) NULL IQ UNIQUE (1), "region" char(7) NULL IQ UNIQUE (5), "sales_rep" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (75), PRIMARY KEY ("id"),

Modify reload_schema.sql to:

CREATE TABLE "DBA"."q1_sales_order" "id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (648), "cust_id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (111), "order_date" "datetime" NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (376), "fin_code_id" char(2) NULL IQ UNIQUE (1), "region" char(7) NULL IQ UNIQUE (5), "sales_rep" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (75), PRIMARY KEY ("id"),

extract_data.sql contains:

---- Extract Table Data for table sales_order -- NOTE: Approximately 57672 bytes of storage space.-- will be required to extract the data for this table.---- The following will unload the data for table sales_order, row group 1, column group 1

14.5.5.2.2.3 Moving Local Stores

Unload and move the SAP IQ 12.7 local stores.

Prerequisites

Upgrade to SAP IQ 12.7 ESD #5 or later.



Procedure

1. Source the ASIQ-12_7.sh or .csh file.

2. Run the 12.7 iqlsunload utility against each query server with a local store.

3. Edit reload_schema.sql:

○ Delete unwanted objects.○ Change any commented objects in the reload_schema.sql that you want to reload.○ Add commands to define any objects that you defined in sp_mpxcfg_<servername> procedures.

4. Edit extract_data.sql to remove objects you do not want to migrate. These objects are generally the same ones you removed from reload_schema.sql.

5. Use Interactive SQL to run extract_data.sql from your 12.7 local store.

You now have unloaded the schema and data for local objects in the 12.7 local store.6. Run the reload_schema.sql and reload_data.sql scripts against the 12.7 write server.

NoteIf you prefer, wait until the write server has been migrated to version 16.1 and run reload_schema.sql and reload_data.sql against the new coordinator.

14.5.5.2.3 Start the Multiplex Write Server

To clean the internal state information, start the write server in single-node mode.

NoteYou must specify your login and password as arguments to the start_server script.

Start the writer node with the server arguments -gm 1 and -iqmpx_sn 1:

-gm 1 -iqmpx_sn 1

If you use administrative startup scripts, create a copy of the start_server.sh script to start the write server you want to migrate. For example, copy the existing file start_server.sh to a new file called start_server_single_node.sh.


Suppose that start_server.sh contains this startup command:

start_asiq -STARTDIR /work/iq-127/mpx/main @/work/iq- 127/mpx/main/params.cfg -n mpx_main $readonly $nomain -x tcpip{port=62631} /work/iq-127/mpx/main/main.db $dbkey

Add the two single node startup arguments to change the preceding command as follows in start_server_single_node.sh:

start_asiq -STARTDIR /work/iq-127/mpx/main @/work/iq- 127/mpx/main/params.cfg -n mpx_main -gm 1 -iqmpx_sn 1 $readonly $nomain -x tcpip{port=62631} /work/iq-127/ mpx/main/main.db $dbkey

There are now two script files, start_server.sh and start_server_single_node.sh to make the server ready for migration:

1. Start the writer node with start_server_single_node.sh.2. Shut down the writer node.3. Start the writer node with start_server.sh.4. Shut down the writer node.5. Shut down the SAP Sybase IQ 12.7 server.


Previous: Migrate Local Stores [page 228]

Next: Multiplex Migration Parameters [page 234]

14.5.5.2.4 Multiplex Migration Parameters

To migrate the multiplex, run iqunload with the appropriate parameters.

Minimum required parameters for a multiplex writer are -au (migrate database), -c (connection parameters), ENG= connection parameter and -ms_filename. The ENG= value must match the existing server name in SAP IQ 12.7, and the -ms_filename specifies the new main store for the migrated writer. This path must be the same for all nodes in the multiplex.

There are two differences in the way you will execute the iqunload utility for multiplex:

● Specify the engine name in the -c connection parameters. This is the same name that your <mpx_dir>/<writer_node>/start_server script file uses to start the writer node. The iqunload utility initially attempts to start the database server as simplex. This start requires the name of the server to match the naming conventions for the multiplex nodes. Once iqunload detects that the server is a multiplex node, it shuts the node down and restarts it using the -iqmpx_sn 1 option.

● The name of the new main store must be visible and accessible by all nodes of the multiplex. This is important because the main store file name defaults to new_system_main.iq, and its location is relative to the catalog database file (.db). Later, when you synchronize the SAP IQ 16.1 multiplex, the catalog is replicated to the secondary nodes, formerly known as the query nodes. If you leave the default value for the



main store name unchanged, the path remains new_system_main.iq and secondary nodes cannot find the shared main store.

For multiplex writers, required arguments are:

● ENG – argument specifies the multiplex main engine name. iqunload attempts to start the database and determine whether the database is a simplex or multiplex. If multiplex, the server name is enforced. If you are unsure of the server name, check the administrative script start_server in the database directory.

● DBF – argument must specify the actual path used to create the multiplex. If you are unsure of this, look at the SYSIQFILE table in your 12.7 server to verify the database path.

● -ms_filename – argument specifies the location of the new main store. This path must be visible and accessible by all servers in the multiplex.

For example:

iqunload -au -v -c "uid=DBA;pwd=<password>;dbf=/sunx5prod/users/marshall/mpx127/ w1/w1.db;eng=w1_1234" -ms_filename ../shared/new_main_store.iq

Next task: Verifying the Migrated Multiplex Database [page 236]

14.5.5.2.5 Verifying the Migrated Multiplex Database

Verify the migrated database in read-only mode and correct any errors.

Procedure

1. Start the database using the read-only switch, -iqro 1. Start the coordinator (the 12.7 write server) using both -iqro 1 and single node mode, -iqmpx_sn 1.

When starting the coordinator in 16.1, use the same port used by the 12.7 writer server.2. Issue a CHECKPOINT command.

3. Run sp_iqcheckdb in verify mode:

sp_iqcheckdb 'verify database'

4. Issue a COMMIT statement.

Results

The server is currently in read-only mode, and cannot complete some post migration tasks. Additionally, the verification reports some problems with Block Count Mismatch, Blocks Leaked, and Unallocated Blocks in Use. No other segments of the verify database should report any errors.

For example:

'** Block Count Mismatch','79','*****' '** Blocks Leaked','25','*****' '** Unallocated Blocks in Use','104','*****'

Examine the sp_iqcheckdb report for errors. If you need to contact SAP Technical Support, you must provide the output from sp_iqcheckdb.

Next: Starting the Coordinator [page 237]



14.5.5.2.6 Starting the Coordinator

Starting the multiplex coordinator in single-node mode (-iqmpx_sn) and read-only (-iqro) performs some initial database checks. For coordinators, the server must reset an identity cookie before you can use the multiplex.

Once you successfully restart the coordinator with iqro 1 and iqmpx_sn 1, shut it down and restart it without any special switches.

For example:

start_iq @params.cfg -n mpx_main -iqmpx_ov 1 -x 'tcpip{port=62631}' /workserver/work/iq-127/mpx/main.db

Next task: Manually Synchronize the Secondary Nodes [page 237]

14.5.5.2.7 Manually Synchronize the Secondary Nodes

To start the secondary nodes, install SAP IQ 16.1, then synchronize from the coordinator node. When you migrate a query node, it becomes a reader node.

Procedure

1. Back up the query node files. Back up existing catalog .db, catalog .log and iqmsg files.

For example:

rename /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.db /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.db.before_schema_reloadrename /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.log /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.log.before_schema_reloadrename /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.iqmsg /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.iqmsg.before_schema_reload

2. Issue a dbbackup command to synchronize servers. You might have a different name for the query node's catalog file, depending on your configuration. In the following example, q1.db is the catalog file name on the query node:

dbbackup -y -x -c "uid=dba;pwd=<password>;eng=mpx_main;dbf=/sunx5prod/users/ work/iq-127/mpx/main/main.db" /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1


SQL Anywhere Backup Utility Version 11.0.1.5533 Debug (702 of 699 pages, 100% complete)Transaction log truncated Database backup completed

3. If your query nodes do not use a different catalog database name, skip to step 4.

Step 2 synchronizes the catalog database file from the coordinator. If you prefer to use the same catalog database file name as the coordinator, adjust any server start and stop administration scripts on the secondary nodes to use the new name.

To retain the same catalog database file names:○ Rename the synchronized coordinator catalog database file name. For example, assuming the

coordinator file was called main.db and the secondary server was called q1.db, enter:

mv main.db q1.db

rename main.db q1.db

○ Rename the log file for the query node. This is necessary as the file renamed above still contains an internal pointer to main.log:

dblog -t q1.log q1.db

4. Start the secondary server in normal mode:

start_iq @params.cfg -n mpx_q1 -x 'tcpip{port=62632}' -o /worksrver/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/o.out -Z -zr all -zo /worksrver/iq-127/mpx/q1/zo.out /workserver/work/ iq-127/mpx/q1/main.db

The above command line is derived from your existing query server start_server administration script.

5. Repeat these steps on the remaining secondary nodes that you want to migrate.


Previous: Starting the Coordinator [page 237]

Next task: Start the Secondary Nodes [page 238]

14.5.5.2.8 Start the Secondary Nodes

To start the secondary nodes, all nodes of the multiplex must be running.

Procedure

Start the secondary servers with the command line startup utility.



For example:

start_iq @params.cfg -n <server_name> database_file.db

Where <<server_name> specifies the secondary server. You can obtain the name from the existing start server administration script. The specified database_file.db is the name resulting after you performed the secondary node synchronization.

Next task: Set the Failover Node [page 239]

14.5.5.2.9 Set the Failover Node

After you migrate the multiplex data, connect to the coordinator, and set the failover node.

Procedure

Use a command like this to set the failover node:.

ALTER MULTIPLEX SERVER servername ASSIGN AS FAILOVER SERVER

Where <servername> is one of the secondary nodes.

14.5.5.2.10 Troubleshooting Multiplex Migration

If you cannot migrate your multiplex database, try this alternate method.

● Drop all query nodes, to change the SAP IQ 12.7 multiplex to a simplex database.● Follow the steps for simplex databases to migrate the database to SAP IQ 16.1.● Convert the simplex SAP IQ 16.1 database to multiplex, following the steps in SAP IQ Administration:

Multiplex > Create Multiplex Servers > Converting Databases to Multiplex.



Previous task: Set the Failover Node [page 239]

14.5.6 Postmigration Tasks

SAP IQ 16.1 databases upgraded from 12.7 are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. To complete the change from 15.x to 16.1, you must explicitly change several 15.x compatibility settings to complete the 16.1 upgrade.

Indexes

● In Fast Projection (FP) indexes, continuous NBit dictionary compression replaces FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) byte dictionary compression. FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) indexes roll over to NBit(8), NBit(16), and NBit(24) respectively. All data types except LOB (both character and binary) and BIT data types may be NBit columns.If FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY is OFF, IQ UNIQUE determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit. Setting IQ UNIQUE to 0 loads the column as Flat FP. Columns without an IQ UNIQUE constraint load as NBit up to the NBit auto-sizing limits.

● New tiered HG index structure decouples load performance from HG index size. In 15.x, load throughput could degrade as the amount of data in an HG index increased. As the index grew, loading the same amount of data could take more time. The new tiered structure decouples load performance from the HG index size to increase throughput.

Constraints

Constraint Description

IQ UNIQUE In SAP IQ 16.1, IQ UNIQUE explicitly defines the expected cardinality of a column and determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit. Columns retain their IQ UNIQUE(<n>) value during a 15.x to 16.1 database upgrade.

Setting IQ UNIQUE to 0 loads the column as Flat FP. Columns without an IQ UNIQUE constraint or columns with an IQ UNIQUE <n> value that is less than the limit defined by the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT option is not necessary. Auto-size functionality automatically sizes all low or medium cardinality columns as NBit. Use IQ UNIQUE in cases where you want to where you want to load the column as Flat FP or when you want to load as NBit and the number of distinct values exceeds the auto-size limits.



Options

Option Description

FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY Provides tokenized FP support similar to that available in 15.x. This option is ON by default in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x and OFF in all newly created 16.1 databases.

● If this option is ON, the database engine uses the MINIMIZE_STORAGE, FP_LOOKUP_SIZE, and FP_LOOKUP_SIZE_PPM options to optimize column storage. These options are ignored in 16.1.

● If this option is OFF, the database engine ignores 15.x options and columns conform to SAP IQ NBit storage options.

Set this option to OFF to take advantage of NBit column compression.

CREATE_HG_WITH_EXACT_DISTINCTS

Determines whether new HG indexes explicitly created with a CREATE INDEX command, or implicitly creating or altering a table with a PRIMARY KEY or a FOREIGN KEY declaration, are tiered or non-tiered. This option is ON in 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x and all newly created 16.1 databases. If this option is ON, all new HG indexes are non-tiered. To take advantage of the new tiered HG index structure, set this option to OFF.

Use sp_iqrebuildindex to convert non-tiered HG indexes to tiered HG and vice versa.

CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICAL_DELETE

Governs 16.1 delete behavior for tiered HG indexes. This option determines whether SAP IQ performs a physical delete immediately or defers the delete to a point later in the load.

CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICAL_DELETE is ON by default, which instructs SAP IQ to perform physical deletes.

REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER forces the query optimizer to mimic SAP IQ 15.x behavior. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER='ON' by default in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER='OFF' by default in all newly created SAP IQ 16.1 databases.

If you plan to use SAP IQ hash partitioning features, set the REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER ='OFF' in databases upgraded from 15.x to 16.1.

Object Names

Reserved words cannot be used as object names.

An SAP IQ 15.x database could contain tables, columns, and other objects named row. In SAP IQ 16.1, row is a reserved word and cannot be used as an object name.


To use a reserved word as an object name, enclosed the object name in brackets (regardless of the QUOTED_IDENTIFIER setting) or double quotes (if QUOTED_IDENTIFIER='ON' [default]):

Stored Procedures

Use these stored procedures to review and change column indexes and constraints:

Procedure Description

sp_iqcolumnmetadata Returns index metadata for all columns in one or more tables.

sp_iqindexmetadata Returns details about column indexes, including the index types (Flat FP, NBit, HG, and tiered HG), distinct counts, IQ UNIQUE <n> value, and NBit dictionary size.

sp_iqrebuildindex Rebuilds FP indexes (Flat FP as NBit, or NBit as Flat FP) and HG indexes (single HG as tiered HG, or tiered HG as single HG). Before you can insert or update new data, you must rebuild all columns greater than 255 bytes wide.

The index_clause can reset IQ UNIQUE <n> to an explicit value from 0 (to recast an NBit column to Flat FP) up to the limits defined in the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT and FP_NBIT_LOOKUP_MB options.

sp_iqrebuildindex also enables read-write access to columns that contain large object (LOB) data. LOB columns migrated from 15.x databases are read-only until you run sp_iqrebuildindex.

The estimated cardinality for NBit columns with an IQ UNIQUE value below or equal to the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT is stored as 0 regardless of the FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY setting. This affects the value returned from sp_iqindexmetadata.

sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata Identifies wide columns that you must rebuild before they are available for read/write activities. sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata also generates a list of statements that you can use to rebuild the columns.

This applies to CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, and VARBINARY columns wider than > 255 characters, as well as all Long Varchar and Long Binary columns.



Re-create Indexes for EUC_TAIWAN Data

In SAP IQ 15 and later, the character encoding specification for the EUC–TAIWAN collation now uses the EUC_TW character set. You must re-create indexes on data in version 12.7 or earlier databases that use the EUC_TAIWAN collation to make them work with SAP IQ 16.

Update Configuration Files

Compare your existing params.cfg files with the new default.cfg file created by the installation. The installation does not update or overwrite existing params.cfg files. In each params.cfg file, update any parameter defaults that differ from those in the default.cfg file, while maintaining any customized parameter settings that are appropriate for your system. Add any new startup parameters in default.cfg to your params.cfg file. The -gl parameter, for example, is required for server startup in version 12.5 and later.

Preserve Database Options

SAP IQ preserves the settings of all 12.7 database options that are still valid in migrated databases. Check for deprecated features.

Back Up Your Databases

● Back up your databases again with the BACKUP statement. If you use the BACKUP statement instead of a system–level backup, you can run backups and queries concurrently.

● For a multiplex migration, back up only the coordinator only in this manner. For secondary servers, run the dbbackup utility from the secondary server directory.

14.6 Hardware Changes

Perform these steps to move your software to a new hardware platform.


In this section:

Moving 32-Bit Databases to 64-Bit Platforms [page 244]Perform these steps to move a 32-bit database to a 64-bit platform.

Converting to a New Hardware Platform [page 245]Perform these steps to move a database to another platform with the same endian structure.

14.6.1 Moving 32-Bit Databases to 64-Bit Platforms

Perform these steps to move a 32-bit database to a 64-bit platform.

Prerequisites

● Review backup and restore procedures in SAP IQ Administration: Backup, Restore, and Data Recovery. ● Make note of the 32-bit server raw device and IQ store path names. Raw device and IQ store path names on

the 64-bit target must match those on the 32-bit machine.

Procedure

1. Log in to your 32-bit server and back up the database.2. Copy the backup to the 64-bit machine, and restore the database.

You may need to rename raw device and path names to ensure that they match.3. On the 64-bit machine, do one of the following:

Option Description

Simplex Start the database with the appropriate startup flags.

Multiplex Start the coordinator with the -iqmpx_sn 1, -gm 1 , -iqro 1, and -iqmpx_ov 1 startup flags.

4. Start Interactive SQL and connect to the database.5. Use DROP MULTIPLEX SERVER to drop all existing secondary nodes.

6. Use ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE to upgrade the database.

See ALTER DATABASE Statement in SAP IQ SQL Reference.7. Run sp_iqcheckdb ('allocation database') and verify that the database is error free.

sp_iqcheckdb checks the validity of the current database. See sp_iqcheckdb Procedure in SAP IQ SQL Reference.

8. Perform these steps for multiplex servers only:a. Shut down and restart the coordinator normally (without the -gm 1 , -iqro 1, and -iqmpx_ov

startup flags).b. Use CREATE MULTIPLEX SERVER STATEMENT to re-create the secondary nodes.



14.6.2 Converting to a New Hardware Platform

Perform these steps to move a database to another platform with the same endian structure.

Context
