How to setup DR for SAP Enterprise Portal ?

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have idea about setting up DR for ABAP system but, I am confused for Java systems?

Can anyone guide how to do this?

We have SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 Ehp1 with Oracle 11g.

Thanks

Hi Sumanth

You use the MS Sql DB mirroring option to build the DR solution. Kindly refer the SAP Note 965908 - SQL Server Database Mirroring and SAP Applications for SAP on Ms Sql DB mirroring

Hi Arun,

Best approach would be:

1) Install SAP at your DR site (IP, Hostname of your DR should be different from primary)

2) Take an online+archivlog backup of primary

3) Restore the backup into DR

4) Mount your DR database into standby

5) Enable Oracle dataguard (It copies the archive logs and applies into standby database)

Hello Arun,

What is the OS platform you are using for primary and DR server?

Dear Shahid,

OS Platform for primary and DR server is Windows 2008 server.

Hi Arun,

You need to have following steps done

1) You need to configure Oracle dataguard to have primary and DR site in sync. It is same like ABAP system.

2) Additionally you may need to implement scripts to sync up /usr/sap/ folder on Primary and DR.

    This is to ensure file configurations at Primary and DR are in sync.

Hope this helps.

Dear Deepak,

But java system depends on hostname, so how should I proceed for this, because we have different hostnames for primary and DR site.

Hi Arun,

You may install DR on a virtual hostname which is similar to Primary site. This will ensure hostnames are in sync between primary and DR.

You may enable virtual hostname on DR during the switch.
