Special Considerations for BI

Check the details for the Usage of BI together with Oracle that the table space PSAPTEMP is from type temporary.

If you want to use additional table spaces for BI for Fact tables, ODS objects and Dimension tables please check note 552911 and 502989 for details.

After the initial Setup (or technical upgrade) of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 there is only a an initial Configuration Profile available which does not met efficient BI/OLAP requirements. So the consulting of the following notes is a mandatory step before the full and performant usage of the BI applications.

Note 702728 - Profile parameter for export/import buffer instances

Note 656060 - OLAP: Cache main memory displacement not functioning

Note 480710 - Profile parameters for table buffers

With the table RSADMIN you can do additional performance settings depending on your selected DB.

The guarantee the correct Functionality for the usage of the nw7.0 Doublestack you have to make sure, that the following SAP Standard Ports and Protocols are available:

36<nr>, 36<nr> MessageServer (Abap, Java)

39<nr>, 39<nr> internal MessageServer (Abap, Java)

80<nr> HTTP Port (Abap)

82<nr> HTTPS Port (Abap)

81<nr> HTTP MessageServer Port (Abap)

25<nr> SMTP Port (Abap)

5<nr>00 J2EE HTTP Port (Java), additional Ports up to 5<nr>20

5<nr>01 J2EE HTTPS Port (Abap)

Where <nr> is the Instance Number of the Abap and the SCS (Java) Instance.

After the installation has finished successfully, SAPInst has created the following entries in /etc/services (where XX is set from 00 to 99)

sapdpXX = 32XX/tcp

sapdpXXs = 47XX/tcp

sapgwXX = 33XX/tcp

sapgwXXs = 48XX/tcp

Additional settings for correct DB Statistics on Oracle:

Check for the latest Oracle Bug Fixes on http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmainyou can use the Abap report RSBDCOS0 to run the command opatch lsinventory to find out the status of the applied Oracle Bug Fixes.

Note 1013912 - FAQ: Oracle BW performance

Note 1171650 - Automated Oracle DB parameter check

Note 1367725 - Exact percentages not displayed for BW Oracle statistics

BW_ORA_HISTOSIZE_AUTO = X

Check for the latest brtools

Note 628590 is valid for Oracle 9i. The Parameter “-f monit” is obsolete with Oracle 10g.

Make the correct settings for init<SID>.sap:

stats_change_threshold = 1 to 2

stats_parallel_degree = 2/CPU (max 15 proc.)

stats_info_cubes = (RSNSPACE_TAB, XYZ*) (Note 428212)

For now, it is advisable to delete any existing sp-files created by the installation process, and use only the init<SID>.ora and init<SID>.sap filesThe main reason is that some of the already made settings are removed by the sp-file and there is no real benefit out of the usage for BI, e.g. all values are transferred back to byte values where they specified as M or G values in the init<SID>.ora
