Configuring SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise HADR for SAP Identity Management 8.0


Introduction


Intention of this blog is to introduce a blueprint setup for configuring HADR for the SAP IDM 8.0 based on SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise.  The SAP Identity Management Setup requires two SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise installations on each host. Key point to note for this scenario:

  • Primary and Standby must have the same:

    • Operating system and its patch levels

    • SAP ASE versions

    • SAP ASE Configuration

    • SAP ASE Logins / Passwords

    • Character Set

    • Sort Order




You can refer to the HADR Users Guide for more information on prerequisites, configuration, troubleshooting and tuning of both HADR environments.

This blog explains how to set this up based on the following steps:

  • SAP IDM System Installation on Primary and Secondary Site

    • SAP NetWeaver 7.5 Java Installation

    • SAP ASE Database instance for SAP Identity Management System

    • SAP Identity Management Standard System



  • Installing Data Movement Option

    • Java instance

    • IDM instance



  • Configuring HADR on Primary Host

    • SAP ASE for Java instance

      • Prepare response file for executing setuphadr on J50 instance

      • Execute setuphadr tool to configure HADR on Primary ASE for J50 instance



    • SAP ASE for IDM instance

      • Prepare response file for executing setuphadr on I50 instance

      • Execute setuphadr tool to configure HADR on Primary ASE for I50 instance





  • Configuring HADR on Standby Host

    • SAP ASE for Java instance

      • Prepare response file for executing setuphadr on J50 instance

      • Execute setuphadr tool to configure HADR on Standby ASE for J50 instance



    • SAP ASE for IDM instance

      • Prepare response file for executing setuphadr on I50 instance

      • Execute setuphadr tool to configure HADR on Standby ASE for I50 instance






SAP IDM System Installation on Primary and Secondary Hosts:


Follow the SAP IDM Installation guides to install two identical systems. First system will be used as primary system. Second system will be used as a Disaster Recovery / High Availability system.

Installing SAP NetWeaver 7.5 Java “Standard System”


Use the following option in the latest “Software Provisioning Manager” to install SAP NetWeaver 7.5 Java system in preparation for SAP Identity Management 8.0 system. For this setup I will be using the system ID (SID) “J50” for my setup and all passwords will be set to “P@s$w0rd!” for the sake of simplicity as it is a test system only.

 



 

Installing “SAP ASE Database instance for SAP Identity Management System”


Use the following option in the latest “Software Provisioning Manager” to install “SAP ASE Database instance for SAP Identity Management System” in preparation for SAP Identity Management 8.0 system. For this setup I will be using the system ID (SID) “I50” for my setup and all passwords will be set to “P@s$w0rd!” for the sake of simplicity as it is a test system only.



Installing SAP Identity Management 8.0 “Standard System”


Use the following option in the latest “Software Provisioning Manager” to install “SAP Identity Management Standard System”. This setup will require you to connect to the SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise installed in the previous step.

 


 

Shutdown the Java instance (excluding database) on the Standby Host


We will shut down the SAP NetWeaver Java instance on the standby host. We will not start this instance until we perform a database failover and the current standby host becomes the new primary host.

Installing SAP ASE Data Movement Option


We will be installing two instances of SAP ASE Data Movement Option one for the SAP ASE instance “J50” and one for SAP ASE instance “I50”. Both ASE Instances were installed and configured in the previous steps.

Installing SAP ASE Data Movement Option for the SAP ASE used for SAP NetWeaver Java instance


Use the following sample response file for installing SAP ASE DM for the Java instance (J50) on both primary and secondary hosts. This will only install the DM option under the /sybase/J50/DM directory in preparation for setting up HADR for the Java instance.

Important: You need to repeat these two installations on the standby host as well.

Configuring HADR on Primary Hosts

Create a new database with name “I50


To make the HADR setup work, we would need to create a new database with the same name as the IDM System identifier which is I50 in this case. We have two choices to create this database:

  • Use setuphadr tool to create the database and its corresponding devices.


If we want to let the setuphadr create the database and its devices then we must keep the two parameters “ase_data_device_create_2_1” and “ase_log_device_create_2_1” in the setuphadr response file, otherwise we will need to remove them if we choose to manually create the database before running setuphadr. If we decide to go with this option, then we need to ensure that these two parameters are configured for both Primary (PRIM) and Companion (COMP) section of the response file. If we want to use the manual method, then we need to remove these 2 parameters from the response files to avoid any configuration issues.




  • Manually create this database by using the following sample script:


use master
go
disk init name='I50_data', physname='/sybase/I50/data/I50_data_001.dat', size='2000M', dsync=true
go
disk init name='I50_log', physname='/sybase/I50/log/I50_log_001.dat', size='1000M', dsync=true
go
create database I50
on I50_data = 2000
log on I50_log = 1000
go

Execute setuphadr tool to configure HADR on Primary SAP ASE for I50 instance


You need to logon as sybi50 user to the system and switch to the /sybase/I50/ASE-16_0/bin/” directory and execute the setuphadr command and the response file prepared in the previous step as parameter for the command. The output will look like as follows:

In this step we will first configure the HADR for the SAP ASE instance used by the Java instance (J50).

Create a new database with name “I50


To make the HADR setup work, we would need to create a new database with the same name as the SAP IDM system identifier which is I50 in this case. We have two choices to create this database:

  • Use setuphadr tool will create the database and its corresponding devices.


If we want to let the setuphadr create the database and its devices then we must keep the two parameters “ase_data_device_create_2_1” and “ase_log_device_create_2_1” in the setuphadr response file, otherwise we will need to remove them if we choose to manually create the database before running setuphadr. If we decide to go with this option, then we need to ensure that these two parameters are configured for both Primary (PRIM) and Companion (COMP) section of the response file. If we want to use the manual method, then we need to remove these 2 parameters from the response files to avoid any configuration issues.




  • Manually create this database by using the following sample script:


use master
go
disk init name='I50_data', physname='/sybase/I50/data/I50_data_001.dat', size='2000M', dsync=true
go
disk init name='I50_log', physname='/sybase/I50/log/I50_log_001.dat', size='1000M', dsync=true
go
create database I50
on I50_data = 2000
log on I50_log = 1000
go


Execute setuphadr tool to configure HADR on Standby SAP ASE for I50 instance


You need to logon as sybi50 user to the system and switch to the /sybase/I50/ASE-16_0/bin/” directory and execute the setuphadr command and the response file prepared in the previous step as parameter for the command. The output will look like as follows:
ase-db2 init/logs% setuphadr ./setuphadr_I50_SP3PL14_COMP.txt
