Estimate timing on BASIS activities - Help

Hi everyone,

     Well, very soon i am going to start doing day-to-day and also heavy basis administration activities in a client with DB2 and IBM i 6.1x; i have solid knowledge on other OS/DB platforms but i've never done activities neither on DB2 nor in AS 400 / IBM i, let alone both combined. So, does the timing in activities like kernel update/upgrade, DB update/upgrade or system copy varies that much?

If it is possible, i will need an estimate on:

- Kernel update/upgrade.

- System Copy.

     Also i need some pointers in finding good documentation, since i can't find any certification workshop or official SAP book for this combination, all i find is DB2 for LUW.

Thanks in advance for all tips and help you can provide.

Best regards.

Hi Martim,

for the answer to the estimates, I would like to answer as follows:

- Kernel update/upgrade. - 1-3h with downloads

- System Copy. - about 1 day with post processing

Docu ?

There is a class ADM525 available, that is taught rarely.

I would be one of the tutors.

Mostly, customers do not really need this class, but "proactical basis consulting" - we typically do "training on the job" with these kind of customers - that means: we teach them onsite, via mail or on the phone and they become more and more independent 😉

there are some redbooks published for this combination: IBM-i and SAP:

from 2001: - Implementing SAP R/3 on OS/400

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244672.html?Open

from 2006: - Implementing SAP Applications on the IBM System i Platform with IBM i5/OS

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247166.html?Open

from 2006: - SAP NetWeaver Java on IBM i5/OS

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4200.html?Open

from 2011: - SAP Applications on IBM PowerVM

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247564.html?Open

maybe you will find something interesting in those redbooks,

but some details may have been changed .....

for example:

new user concept

SAPJVM instead of IBM-J9
