Diary of a Confused DBA…..

10. Minute Notes – “MINOTES”

This is the page where I have started collecting minute notes. With hope
for better re-usability of my small pica notes kept in different
locations…like in my Diary, wallet, and even in mutilated piece of
paper….The Nature of this page is of frequent change, more appropriate
addition. Here I start:

  • This is for updating IGS. – Added on 23/10/2009.
  • At the most I can only write mostly the
    reference link Installing
    and updating IGS
    . In text the link is
    “http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4b/72d43ac66e1f08e10000000a114084/content.htm”
    ….This is kept here in case you need to build one such references of your
    open. Here is simpler summary for doing the things in war footing. This is
    normally done as you do in case of kernel update…
  • Download IGS from service.sap.com/download. We
    need to download the executables (igsexe*.sar) as well as IGS folder
    structure..(igshelper*.sar). Use SAPCAR to extract the same.
  • Backup the kernel.
  • Extract the file in the same fashion and same
    location as you do in case of kernel upgrade.
  • IGS folder upgrade directory required to be
    extracted in the instance directory..(DIR_INSTANCE). Here is one catch,
    better to admit, I was actually looking in to the OS searching an OS
    environment variable with the name DIR_INSTANCE. In vain, I didn’t find one
    there…and actually it was my mistake, this is a directory defined in SAP
    and can be seen using transaction AL11.
  • Related notes to be checked for the same are as
    under…
  • Note 19466 – Downloading SAP kernel patches
  • Note 1028690 – True Type Fonts delivered with
    IGS
  • Note 896400 – Upgrade your integrated IGS 7.x
    installation.
  • This is for update and upgrade for BI Content – Added on 24/10/2009.
  • Following notes are very important and always
    better to read before upgrade/delta upgrade/update BI-CONT. These notes
    further refer to some other notes, especially 1000822.
  • Note 653814 – BI Content add-on dependencies for
    NetWeaver/SAP_BW.
  • Note 955647 – BI_CONT 703: Information on Add-On
    Support Packages.
  • Note 1000822 – Overview: Notes for BI_CONT
    add-on.
  • This is forĀ logon load balancing two good notesĀ - Added on 24/11/2009.
  • SAP Note 26317 – Set up for LOGON group for autom. load balancing
  • SAP Note 51789 – Poor user distribution in logon distribution
