Web Diagtool for Troubleshooting


SAP has provided Web Diagtool that lets you set trace levels on a few locations and collect the information as zip file. It is much convinient to use diagtool compared to log configurator when the problem can be reproduced on demand.


Once you have deployed the sda file attached to SAP Note 1045019, you can call the diagtool using http://<host>:<port>/diagtool


Usage:
1. Open http://<host>:<port>/diagtool
2. Select "All" for "Component"
3. Using the "Search Pattern", add the location on which you would like to collect the trace
4. Press Start.
5. Reproduce the problem
6. Press Stop, when the error occurs.
7. The trace is presented as html. You can also downalod the trace as a zip file.





- You may have to increase "Maximum number of collected records" property if you wish to run the tool for a long duration.
- Before starting the diagtool, make sure you are ready to reproduce the problem.


The following notes give scenario specific instructions for using diagtool:
Note 1170359 - Tracing the deploy proxy
Note 823294 - Debugging XML Signature and Encryption Problems
Note 1514898 - Diagtool for troubleshooting XI
Note 1019634 - Troubleshooting SSL problems
Note 1227928 - Diagtool for troubleshooting NWDI (detailed logs)

OS/DB Migration - CMD. STR, TOC, EXT, R3load, DDLDBS.TPL and more

Image
With increasing need to improve performance or reduce costs or vanishing support for operating systems/databases it becomes inevitable to migrate to a better OS or DB. We feel take a quick look at the primary ingredients of the tools for OS/DB migration handled by R3SETUP. Tools - R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk R3ldctl creates STRucture files, TemPLate files by reading the technical settings for table/indexes in SAP data dictionary. R3szchk calculates the database size object sizes (EXTent files) for the target system based on the STR files created by R3ldctl. The EXT and STR files can be later split into smaller groups. The most crucial tool R3load is responsible for unloading and loading data from the database. R3load uses the files created by R3ldctl and R3szchk and dumps the data into compressed binary format as .001, .002 .. files. It uses cmd files to achieve the task. If the cmd files are not present, it creates on its own. Files Command files*.cmd  are created i

Fixing Inconsistent Table - Table activation fails due to inconsistency between DD and DB

If you find a table to be available on the database, but not active in ABAP dictionary, try calling SE14 as DDIC user, enter the table name and choose Table > Reconstruct, Execute. If this method fails follow these steps: Call transaction code SE37 and execute the function module  DD_TABL_ACTM with single test On the next screen, do not change any other field except the following and set them as shown below: MODE: 12 NTAB_PUTSTATE: N TABNAME: <enter the correct table name> Click on Execute The export parameter ACT_RESULT should show 0. To verify if the inconsistency is fixed, call transaction SE14 > Extras > Database Object > Check and  SE14 > Extras > Runtime object > Check.

301 Redirect Using SAP Web Dispatcher

301 redirects are typically used to redirect accesses that include www to non-www or vice-versa. Example, when you call http://blogger.com, the call is redirected to www.blogger.com. An end-user may prefer to call a URL in any manner. You must ensure that all these calls are redirected to relevant URLs with content. SAP web dispatcher can be configured to send a redirect (301) to the client. To enable redirection add icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> to the web dispatcher's profile file. The parameter uses the following syntax: icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> = PREFIX=<URL prefix>[, FROM=<pattern for URL>, FROMPROT=<incoming protocol>, FOR=<pattern for host name:port>,TO=<new URL prefix>, PROT=<protocol>, HOST=<host>, PORT=<port number/name>] Let's say you want to redirect all the HTTP requests on mysource.com on 80 port to mytarget.com on HTTPS 443 port icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, FROM=*, FROMPROT=http, FOR=mysource.com:80,
