Upgrade Procedure with SDBUPD

To use SDBUPD for a database upgrade, go to the directorymaxdb-all--32|64bit--_,into which you unpacked the installation package.

Start the SDBUPD program with the following command:

UNIX/Linux:

./SDBUPD d -u ,

Microsoft Windows:

sdbupd d -u ,

SDBUPD performs the upgrade and displays a success message if the upgrade iscompleted successfully. It then flags the installation as complete.

Upon completion of this chapter, you will know:? Which are the three operational states of SAP MaxDB? How to start and stop the database with Database Studio

Objectives

Operational States

There are three possible operational states of SAP MaxDB:

OFFLINE:SAP MaxDB kernel processes and caches do not exist.No user can use the database.

ADMIN:The SAP MaxDB kernel is active (processes are started,caches are initialized). Users cannot connect to thedatabase. Only the DBM operator can connect andperform administrative tasks.

ONLINE:The SAP MaxDB kernel is active and ready to work. Userscan connect to the database.

Startup and Shutdown with Database Studio

Summary


? The three operational states of SAP MaxDB,

? And how the database can be started and stopped with Database Studio

Agenda




Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to create:? A complete data backup? An incremental backup? A log backup

with Database Studio.

Objectives

Backup Basics 1/2

Backups are performed by the database process.

Online backups of the volumes made with operating system tools (e.g. dd, copy) cannot be used.

There are three backup types :? Complete Data Backup: All data pages, configuration and parameter information.? Incremental Data Backup: Backs up all data pages changed since the last complete data

backup.? Log Backup: All pages of log (in units of log segments) that have not already been backed up.? Additionally Set AutoLog On automatically backs up the log as soon as a log segment is

completed.

Backup Basics 2/2

You should keep several generations of backups. For example tapes containing dataor log backups should not be directly overwritten with the next backup.

The automatic log backup (autosave log mechanism) should always be active.? If automatic log backup is not active, you must regularly check whether there is enough

storage space available in the log area.? You should regularly archive the version files written during a log backup to a medium of your

choice.

Due to the database converter concept, SAP MaxDB does not support backup /restore of single tables/schemas. However, single tables/schemas can beextracted/loaded using the SAP MaxDB loader.

External Backup Tools

SAP MaxDB supports three kinds of external backup tools:? Tivoli Storage Manager?Networker? Tools which support the Interface BackInt for Oracle or Backint for SAP MaxDB

Creating Backups with Database Studio 1/4

Summary

You should now be able to create:? A complete data backup? An incremental backup? A log backup

Cache Accesses in DBMGUI

Note: Each Unsuccessful access to the I/O buffer cache (Data Cache)results in a physical I/O. Access to disk is at least 1000 times moreexpensive than access to cache.

I/O buffer cacheaccessesI/O buffer cache hitrate should be >= 98%

Catalog CacheaccessesCatalog Cache hit rateshould be >= 90%

Cache Accesses in Database Studio

Log Queue in DBMGUI

The Log queue may fill up due to Many log entries written Slow log disks Misconfigured log queue

(parameter LOG_IO_QUEUE)

The log queuetemporarily stores logentries to be written tolog disk. If the logqueue is full, all updatetransactions must waituntil log pages arewritten to disk andspace in the log queueis released.

A full log queue iscounted as Queueoverflow

Log Queue in Database Studio

Enable Detailed Time Measurement

C:\WINNT>dbmcli -d MYDB -u dbm,dbm

dbmcli on MYDB>db_cons time enable

OK

---

dbmcli on MYDB>

Prerequisite that SAP MaxDB collects detailed time values likeI/O times is the enabling of detailed time measurement.

Log I/O Time in DBMGUI

real average:(rel_dev_wr_tm * dev_write_io + avg_self_wr_tm * self_write_io) / (dev_write_io + self_write_io)

rel_dev_wr_tm = write time of I/O performed by the Dev Thread (not including wait times caused by internal tasking)abs_dev_wr_tm = write time of I/O performed by the Dev Thread (including wait times caused by internal tasking)dev_write_io = number of I/O operations performed by the Dev Threadavg_self_wr_tm = write time of I/O performed by the Log Writer taskself_write_io = number of I/O operations performed by the Log Writer task

Average log I/O time should be well below 20ms

Log I/O Time in Database Studio

Lock Collisions and Lock Escalations

Collisions on SQL locks can significantly reduce the performance of updatetransactions.

The maximum number of locks on table rows can be configured byparameter MAXLOCKS.

If the application locks a large number of rows of a table, single row locks will betransferred to a full table lock. This is called lock escalation. Generally, lockescalations should be avoided, as they prohibit concurrent row locks on this tableby other applications.

Identify the Locking Process

If a lock situation occurs, the process holding the lock can be identified.

Use the SQL statement SELECT * FROM lock_waits to display a list of all lockcollisions.

For each collision, the lock holder and requestor is displayed.

Use H_TERMID to identify the process that holds the lock.
