SAP Migration into Cloud
Photo by Rhys Moult on Unsplash

SAP in AWS Cloud Environments
Requirement: SAP Application & Database tiers must be in same cloud environment
• No hybrid deployment
Oracle Database for SAP Netweaver is supported on Amazon EC2 only

• NOTE: RDS is not supported!
• Single instance only, no RAC
• Unicode deployment of Netweaver is required
• See SAP technical note for details:
• 2358420 - Oracle Database Support for Amazon Web Services EC2

SAP Oracle Database Migration to Cloud
Five migration methods for SAP database to Oracle cloud:
1. RMAN backup/restore
• Or same method by using BR*Tools brbackup command
• Requires compatible source/target platform
2. RMAN duplicate from active database

• Optionally, using Oracle Data Guard to minimize downtime
• Requires compatible source/target platform
3. Cross-platform Transportable Tablespace

• Method to use for AIX->Linux migration

Checklist

Transportable | Starter Checklist
Database Creation Target database requirements

Backup / Recovery • COMPATIBLE must be the same or higher
TDE
PERL Scripts Target database requirements with workarounds
• Identical character set
• Identical national character set
• Identical time zone (only with TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE)
• Identical time zone file version (only with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE)

Database Creation OCI databases are AL32UTF8

Backup / Recovery • Change in Advanced Options
TDE
PERL Scripts Database 12.2 and higher
• PDB can use different character set
Recommendation
• Keep production CDB on AL32UTF8
• Provision temporary CDB with desired character set
• Create new empty PDB in temporary CDB
• Clone custom PDB to production CDB

Database Creation OCI DB Systems are in UTC time zone

Backup / Recovery • Change in Advanced Options
TDE
PERL Scripts Sets the OS time zone, which affects:
• SYSDATE
• SYSTIMESTAMP
How to change the Time Zone in Oracle Database Hosted in

OCI with an Example (Doc ID 2459830.1)

Database Creation OCI database time zone defaults to UTC

Backup / Recovery
TDE Change for CDB:
PERL Scripts SQL> alter database cdb1 set time_zone = '+02:00';
PDBs can have different DB Time Zone:

SQL> alter pluggable database pdb1 set time_zone = '+04:00';
Only relevant for

• TSLTZ
• CURRENT_DATE
• CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
• LOCALTIMESTAMP

Database Creation Enable Block Change Tracking on source for incremental

Backup / Recovery backups
SQL> SELECT status, filename FROM V$BLOCK_CHANGE_TRACKING;
TDE SQL> ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING;
PERL Scripts
• Conversion on destination is usually faster than on source
• PERL scripts will do the conversion
• Requires
• Enterprise Edition (on-prem)
• Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance (DBCS)
• Exadata

Database Creation TDE Encryption

Backup / Recovery • Not supported
TDE • Only for same-Endianness migration
PERL Scripts

Database Creation RMAN Incremental Backups

Backup / Recovery • MOS Note: 2471245.1
TDE V4 PERL Scripts to reduce Transportable Tablespace Downtime
using Cross Platform Incremental Backup
PERL Scripts
• Source: 10.2.0.3 or newer
• Target: 11.2.0.4 or newer

your road to
“ Help me - I have an upgrade problem”…
In
95%
of all cases, "upgrade problem" in reality is a performance
issue
after upgrade. Or not database related.

There is exactly one way to mitigate the risk.
TESTING!
Only proper testing can mitigate the risk and
" avoid potential performance regressions

Database Cloud Service | Exadata
World's best database machine, provision with GI
Restrictions:
• As many databases as you want
• Non-CDB are supported only for 12.1.0.2 and 19c
• Supports RAC
• Max. storage up to 598 TB
• Depend on Exadata version and configuration
• Additional storage can be allocated via additional storage servers
To create non-CDB
• It is not possible to create a non-CDB via the console - use dbaasapi
• Creating non-CDB databases on the Service in OCI (Doc ID 2528257.1)

Types of findings:
1. Collection of object statistics

2. Creation of indexes
3. Rewriting SQL statements
4. Creation of SQL profiles
.... and more
Pro tip: SQL Developer has a

good interface to SQL Tuning
Advisor

SQL Profiles | Facts
1. Part of Tuning Pack

• Included in some cloud offerings
2. Stores a set of hints that causes the optimizer to select a plan
3. Affects one statement only

SQL Profiles | Facts
4. You can enable/disable a profile
5. Transparent to application
• Does not require application changes
6. Persistent and transportable

• Documentation
7. Useful with literals using FORCE_MATCH=TRUE

Underscores

Underscores | optimizer_adaptive_*
Parameter optimizer_adaptive_plans
• Default: TRUE
• Adjust join methods, bitmap pruning and parallel distribution methods during runtime after
parsing
Parameter optimizer_adaptive_statistics
• Default: FALSE
• Create dynamic statistics, SQL Plan Directives and do automatic reoptimization
Recommendation
• Leave the defaults

• For Oracle 12.2.0.1 and newer

Underscores | _sql_plan_directive_mgmt_control
Parameter _sql_plan_directive_mgmt_control
• SQL Plan Directives get collected in the background

• Even when optimizer_adaptive_statistics=false (default)
• But SPDs won't be used
• MOS Note: 2209560.1 - How To Disable SQL Plan Directive (SPD)
Recommendation
• Set _sql_plan_directive_mgmt_control=0 always everywhere


Underscores | _cursor_obsolete_threshold
Parameter _cursor_obsolete_threshold
• Parent cursors not getting obsoleted

• Thus, the child cursors under the parent are getting extended beyond 1024 (default in 12.1)
• Massive concurrency issues with cursor mutexes
• MOS Note: 2431353.1
High Version Counts For SQL (>1024) Post Upgrade To 12.2 and Above Causing Slow
Performance
Recommendation
• Set _cursor_obsolete_threshold=1024 always everywhere


Underscores | deferred_segment_creation
Parameter deferred_segment_creation
• Table/index created but no row inserted? No space used

• But performance penalty when first row gets inserted
• Only useful in environments where objects get created and dropped massively
• Several corruption bugs, contention issues and more
• See: MOS Note 1216282.1 - Parameter "DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION"
Recommendation
• Set deferred_segment_creation=false unless you really need this feature

• For Oracle 11.2 and newer
