Adding a Dialog instance to a live production database.

[Former Member]

We are adding a number of new App servers to a ECC6 7.0 Live production database but we don't have enough confidence in the in the information in InstGui and install guide that it will not over write the /sapmnt/SID/exe of the running CI.

Has anyone done this and is just down to not selecting the unpack Kernel and oracle client check boxes in the Parameter Summary?

Hi Chris,

If parameters are set correctly it shouldn't ask you to unpack exe files.

DI should get all exe files from CI and it will do the same copy again whenever it gets restarted.

Well, yes if only, the DI use the same kernel as the CI...

For example we run our ECC6 production system with a CI on Windows 2003 64 Itanium and the DI on Windows 2003 x86_64.

Be aware of the fact that when you start these dialog instances, the number of sessions and processes of Oracle might exceed the maximum value, which can cause problems on your productive environment..

It won't overwrite anything on CI, you could do it when the system is on the fly. While installing new DI, it'll copy kernel files from kernel directory on CI and update profiles of CI. In case it's a heterogeneous landscape (CI on UNIX and DI on Windows), you need to have kernel directory ready for target OS on CI.
