    Uploaded by

    rajesh.9127276
    To use DB2 BLU acceleration with SAP applications, the following prerequisites must be met: (1) the database must be non-partitioned, use a Unicode code page, have tablespaces configured for reclaimable storage and automatic storage, and the system must be on a supported release of SAP NetWeaver; (2) specific SAP notes must be applied to enable BLU-related ABAP code extensions and ensure compatibility with DBA Cockpit monitoring; (3) databases can be converted to use BLU by running the SAP_CDE_CONVERSION_DB6 report and DB6CONV tool on individual InfoCubes.

    Important points to be check:


     BLU related ABAP code extensions: these are delivered with SAP BW
    Support Packages (customers are required to apply those SPs)
     Unicode: System must be a Unicode System
     Table space type: must be of type reclaimable storage and automatic
    storage
     Tables can be converted to BLU - per SAP InfoCube (report
    SAP_CDE_CONVERSION_DB6 & DB6CONV)
     Monitoring DB2 10.5 using DBA Cockpit (customers are required to apply
    those BASIS SPs)
    SAP prerequisites:

    You can find information about required service packs, technology levels, and
    other detailed OS information for DB2 10.5 in the IBM Information Center at:
    http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/sysreqs.html
    The use of DB2 10.5 is supported for applications based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0
    and higher. Applications based on lower releases of SAP NetWeaver are not
    supported with DB2 10.5.
    To upgrade an existing system from DB2 Version 9.7 or DB2 Version 10.1 to
    DB2 10.5, follow the instructions in the database upgrade guide "Upgrading to
    Version 10.5 of IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows", which is available on
    SAP Service Marketplace at: http://service.sap.com/instguides --> Database
    Upgrades --> DB2 UDB

    Technical prerequisites DB2:

    (1) DPF
    We need a non-partitioned database

    https://ibm.biz/BdDayv

    The following system and database configurations do not support column-


    organized tables in the DB2 Version 10.5 release.
    Partitioned databases

    This affects the way on how the test system can be cloned from a source DB2
    based system:
    If the source database is DB2 without DPF, a system copy by means of
    backup/restore will be an option
    If the source database is DB2 with DPF, an SAP homogeneous system copy
    based on R3load is suggested

    (2) Unicode
    We need a Unicode codepage database

    https://ibm.biz/BdDayv

    The following system and database configurations do not support column-


    organized tables in the DB2 Version 10.5 release.
    Databases whose code set and collation are not UNICODE and IDENTITY or
    IDENTITY_16BIT

    (3) Reclaimable Storage Tablespace


    We need tablespace of type reclaimable storage

    https://ibm.biz/BdDayv

    The following system and database configurations do not support column-


    organized tables in the DB2 Version 10.5 release.
    Table spaces that are not enabled for reclaimable storage

    Use the following statements to check whether your tablespaces are enabled for
    reclaimable storage:

    SELECT tbsp_name FROM TABLE (MON_GET_TABLESPACE('',-2)) AS T


    WHERE reclaimable_space_enabled = 1
    (The result set shows tablespaces which are enabled)

    SELECT tbsp_name FROM TABLE (MON_GET_TABLESPACE('',-2)) AS T


    WHERE reclaimable_space_enabled = 0
    (The result set shows tablespaces which are NOT enabled)

    Unfortunately, one can not convert non-enabled tablespaces inplace. The have
    to be re-created.In SAP environments, typically this is done via DB6CONV

    (4) Automatic Storage


    We need a database which uses Automatic Storage

    https://ibm.biz/BdDayv

    The following system and database configurations do not support column-


    organized tables in the DB2 Version 10.5 release.
    Databases that are created without automatic storage enabled

    Use the following command to check this status:

    db2pd -db <DBSID> -storagepaths

    (5) Monitoring DB2 10.5 using DBA Cockpit


    To monitor a DB2 10.5 database using the DBA Cockpit, the following minimum
    SAP Basis release levels are required:

    SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP27


    SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SP12
    SAP NetWeaver 7.02 SP12
    SAP NetWeaver 7.10 SP15
    SAP NetWeaver 7.11 SP10
    SAP NetWeaver 7.30 SP08
    SAP NetWeaver 7.31 SP05
    SAP NetWeaver 7.40 SP02

    In addition, you must implement SAP Note 1835822.


    Above SPs are mandatory for the DBA Cockpit to work fully functional. This list
    refer to Basis support packages, not to BW ones.There might be dependences
    with other SPs in the one or other case, but generally, it is the Basis SPs only ...
