Hardware Costs Implementation Costs Operation Costs

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 5

TCO Drivers

Hardware
Too many servers No joint resource utilization Oversized system landscape

Implementation
Different implementation guidelines Multiple independent and overlapping customization systems Complex Customizing (x100,000 customizing parameters) No end-to-end process verification Massive testing effort

Operations
No unified system management Complex multicomponent dependencies Error prone crosscomponent system integration Costly cross-system change management

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 6

Our Costs of Development

The true costs are the full lifecycle costs


Maintenance costs by far exceed initial development costs The value/effort ratio for development decreases over lifetime Costs multiply with the combination of multiple releases and multiple components that have to be maintained
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 7

Complexity is the main cost driver


Complexity drives cost growth exponentially The number of one-toone integrated system components increases complexity Complexity management is an architectural problem

Poor quality erodes profitability


Poor quality leads to a cost explosion in all lines of business Quality problems in a mass product are the hardest to fix Only quality per design leads to scalable business

+ Add. functionality and benefits provided by SAP R/3 Enterprise + Longer mainstream maintenance for SAP R/3 Enterprise - Higher effort (upgrade and implementation in same time frame)

+ Add. functionality and benefits provided by SAP ECC + Lower TCO through integrated BI - Resizing of server landscape required

* These are examples only. More options might be available to the individual customer
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 13

To give you some ideas of possible deployment options with mySAP ERP, the following slides will show some of the most common examples. Each slide describes a specific customer situation (today) and the desired target. Please note that this presentation will not cover all the possible options! Target: A customer undertook a contract conversion to mySAP ERP and now wants to benefit from the Business Information Warehouse capabilities provided with mySAP ERP. Situation today: The customer operates SAP R/3 Release 4.6C. No other components are implemented at this point Possible Option A: The customer keeps SAP R/3 on release 4.6C and immediately starts the implementation of an new installed SAP BI system. The advantage of this option is that the customer can benefit from SAP BI as soon as possible without spending time on an upgrade at SAP R/3 level. However, since SAP R/3 4.6C is only under mainstream maintenance until 2006, it is clear that the customer will need to upgrade to SAP R/3 Enterprise or SAP ECC afterwards. Possible Option B: Customer performs upgrade to SAP R/3 Enterprise. In parallel or afterwards (depending on the available resources), it starts installation and implementation of SAP BI. The benefit of this option is that the customer is on a SAP R/3 release which offers long-term mainstream maintenance until 2009, while making the SAP BI capabilities available as soon as possible. From an effort perspective, this option requires more resources in a shorter timeframe than option 1. Possible Option C: Customer waits until SAP ECC becomes available (planned January 2005) and performs an upgrade to it then. After the upgrade, it starts implementation of integrated SAP BI. The disadvantage of this option is definitely the availability of SAP ECC. However, the advantage is that the customer can benefit from the integrated SAP BI, which offers the lowest TCO in these three options.

- End of maintenance for SAP BI 3.0B is December 31, 2006 - Functionality in SAP BW is still limited to SAP BW 3.0B

- Higher effort (both upgrades in same timeframe)

* These are examples only. More options might be available to the individual customer
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 14

Target: A customer undertook a contract conversion to mySAP ERP and now wants to benefit from the Business Information Warehouse capabilities provided with mySAP ERP. Situation today: Compared with the previous customer example, this customer operates SAP R/3 Release 4.0B where mainstream maintenance ended on December 31, 2003. Furthermore, this customer runs a SAP BI system on release 3.0B. Possible Option A: The customer performs an upgrade to SAP R/3 Enterprise, which is already available, and stays on the SAP BI system. With this the customer can benefit immediately from the new features brought by SAP R/3 Enterprise, utilizing the SAP BI capabilities. Possible Option B: The customer waits* until SAP ECC becomes available (planned January 2005) and performs upgrade to SAP ECC. In parallel or afterwards (depending on the available resources), the customer starts upgrade of SAP BI to the latest release. In contrast to option A, this would offer latest processes and functions available with mySAP ERP. Possible Option C: Customer waits until SAP ECC becomes available and performs an upgrade to it then. After the upgrade, it starts implementation of integrated SAP BI. The advantage compared with option B is that the customer can benefit from the integrated SAP BI, which offers him the lowest TCO in these three options. Please contact SAP Consulting for SAP BI migration.

* Maintenance Extension required if customer doesnt want to enter customer specific maintenance.

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 15

Target: A customer undertook a contract conversion to mySAP ERP and now wants to benefit from the Self Services and the Business Information Warehouse capabilities provided with mySAP ERP. Situation today: The customer runs SAP R/3 Release 3.1I, in which case mainstream maintenance ended on December 31, 2003. Furthermore, this customer runs a SAP Internet Transaction Server 6.20 Possible Option A: One possible option is that the customer starts at least an upgrade to SAP R/3 Enterprise. Furthermore, he can keep the SAP ITS (or he upgrades it to the latest release) and implements SAP BI 3.5. Possible Option B: Another options this customer has, is to wait until SAP ECC becomes available to start an upgrade project to this component. After this step, the customer can utilize the integrated SAP ITS. Furthermore, this option shows, that a customer has still the option to implement and run a SAP BI beside SAP ECC. Possible Option C: Finally, another could example is that the customer does an upgrade to SAP ECC (if available) and utilizes the integrated SAP BI and SAP ITS. For sure, out of these options, the third option offers the lowest TCO and shows directly the benefit of SAP ECC from a TCO perspective.

An MDMP Configuration is not supported with BI

So, if your R/3 System is upgraded from 4.7 Enterprise (Basis 6.20) to ECC 5.0 (mySAP ERP 2004) and it was used with several Codepages (MDMP) you must first convert the System to Unicode before you can use the BI (Netweaver 04) functionality in a MCOS configuration. See also Note 747036.
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 26

26

Select the BI support stack queue (if wanted)

BI has some dependences to the ABAP and Basis Support Stack, due the fact that is part of the Netweaver 04/04s Stack.
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 27

BI as dormant coding in ERP2004/5 (if wanted)

If you not want to use the BI Function, lock the AWB and add a value for the field BWMANDT in Table RSADMINA. See also Note 122679 for Details.
SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 32

Special Considerations for BI:


Check the details for the Usage of BI together with Oracle that the table space PSAPTEMP is from type temporary. If you want to use additional table spaces for BI for Fact tables, ODS objects and Dimension tables please check note 552911 and 502989 for details.
PSAP<SID>ODS PSAP<SID>FACT PSAP<SID>DIM

After the initial Setup of SAP NetWeaver 2004s there is only a an initial Configuration Profile available which does not met the BI/OLAP requirements. So the consulting of the following notes is a mandatory step before the use of the BI application. Note 192658 - Setting basis parameters for BW Systems Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g Note 702728 - Profile parameter for export/import buffer instances Note 656060 - OLAP: Cache main memory displacement not functioning Note 480710 - Profile parameters for table buffers Note 928044 - BI lock server With the table RSADMIN you can do additional DB settings.

32

Remove logical system for BI (if wanted/needed)

If you activated the BI functionality on the ERP2004 not by purpose, and you want to rid of the my SAP BI system use the Function RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE and keep Destinations and Declarations. See Note 140276 for Details.

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 33

33

Check for additional Functions on the source System


If you want to use the BI Function within ERP2004 you may check Settings like Transfer Global Settings or Transfer Exchange Rates if they are available.

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 34

34

Check EDIDOC Number Range for outbound (ECC)


During the manual/automatic connection of the ECC source system to the BI system the Number Range might not be available in the ECC client. Note: Number Ranges are client depended. See also Note 522569 for more Details about different clients in one BI System.

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 35

35

Check for a valid ALEREMOTE user to source System


See more Details in Note 538052 about the Myself destination in BI. Still the correct Source System connection needs a valid ALEREMOTE user with the right profile. OLAP BI system S_BI-WHM_RFC S_BI-WHM_SPC OLTP R/3 system S_BI-WX_RFC S_BI-WX_RFCA

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 36

36

Oracle technical Background


The Oracle database system has different performance tuning options for different purposes

Typically, OLTP based systems (SAP ECC) and OLAP systems (SAP BI) have conflicting performance optimization goals

If OLTP and OLAP systems both use the same Oracle instance, a compromising set of parameter settings needs to be defined

Make sure that the Partition Option is installed when upgrading or Installing ERP2004/5 together with Oracle

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 37

37

Recommendations for Oracle Database


An Oracle instance running both OLAP and OLTP systems must have parameters set according to SAP note 632556. In addition to the parameters described in this note, the following settings are mandatory (i.e. need to be added or replace parameters in the note):
workarea_size_policy = AUTO pga_aggregate_target = 20-40% of available RAM db_file_multiblock_read_count = 16 optimizer_index_cost_adj = 50 hash_join_enabled = TRUE event = 10183 trace name context forever, level 1 star_transformation_enabled = TRUE

It is also mandatory to create DB CBO statistics with brconnect only (do NOT use ANALYSE TABLE statistics!)

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 38

38

Recommendations Oracle 10g only


We recommend to upgrade to Oracle 10g as soon as possible to benefit from optimizer improvements which are likely to minimize any side effects caused by the mixed-mode parameterization. For obsolete Parameters with Oracle 10g please check Note 830576:
_b_tree_bitmap_plans = false _optim_peek_user_binds = false _eliminate_common_subexpr = false fast_start_mttr_target = 900 hash_join_enabled = true log_archive_start = true optimizer_max_permutations = 1500 optimizer_mode = all_rows (Default) statistics_level = typical timed_statistics = true transaction_auditing = FALSE

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 39

39

Other Databases
DB2/DB6 uses similar techniques like Oracle. Therefore you might also a compromising set of parameter settings needs to be defined. MaxDB in the Version 7.5 and 7.6 is delivered as the OLTP Version only. The Settings for OLAP Systems, like BI are also valid for OLTP Systems like ECC. For the usage of MS SQL together with SAP Applications there are no special settings either for OLTP or OLAP. The Database handles both types the same way.

SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 40

40

Upgrade to ECC 5.0 or higher from lower R/3 Release


If you Upgrade your R/3 System like described in the Section Deployment Option for Example from:
R/3 3.1I to ECC 5.0/6.0 R/3 4.0B to ECC 5.0/6.0 4.7 Enterprise to ECC 5.0/6.0

only the Fix for ECC 5.0/6.0 from the Note 663240 is necessary. There is no influence on the BI components. These components will be activated separately in a later step. If there is also a J2EE Engine available please make sure that this is connected to the BI Client for the usage of BI_MMR and BI_UDI. The EP is connected to this Client also. If you want to use the J2EE Engine also for the ECC Component you need an additional J2EE Engine.
