                                 Reasons for Background Jobs Cancellaton:

1. User Id/Password mismatch or other authorization issues.
2. User is Locked (who defined the background job).
3. Variant issues due to program change, variant deletion/modification.
4. File input/output error (Program is not able to find required file or not able to process the format).
5. Space Issues While connected to the backend system, connectivity issues, Ports Blockage.
6. Database issues - ora-1653/1654/ 1631/1632/255/272  etc..

JSPM: Java Support Package Manager

                              JSPM: Java Support Package Manager

JSPM is a widely used tool to apply support packages in Java stack or Dual stack SAP system. Now a days we use SUM (Software Upgrade Manager ) to update support packages or version upgrade.

Java Support package manager is consistent /stable/reliable tool used to deploy the patches. It works similar to SPAM/SAINT and reads from EPS/in. It is also used to deploy the kernel.

it is accessed by path usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/jspm/go.bat

It requires SDM password and  works only in the <SID>ADM environment.

Un-deployment function is not available in JSPM.(it handles the task of spam and saint)

It displays the source version and calculates the target version from EPS/in.

It is used to apply new usage types, support packages, add-ons, business packages, support stack update along with SAP Kernel. It is also possible to skip the packages that are in queue

Software Deployement Manager (SDM)

                                     SDM:(Software Deployment Manager)

Software Deployment Manager is a  tool widely used in WEBAS 640 and replaced by JSPM in Netweaver 7.0 and completely phased out in Netweaver 7.1.

It requires SDM password and port 50018 which runs based on JLaunch process.

it is accessed  by using  /usr/sap/SID/Instance/SDM/program/remotegui.bat in windows and remotegui.sh in Linux operating system.it contains its own startup menu, inbox, log etc.

it is used to deploy and undeploy the support packages, business packages, add-ons etc in Netweaver Java system.it is used to deploy the patches to Java Engine, File System (j2ee/cluster/server/apps) and Database.It requires manual feed(frontend)unlike spam/saint/jspm which reads from EPS/in.

Due to its un-deployment feature it is discontinued from Netweaver 7.1. If a content is selected for un-deployment it does not check the dependencies and the functionality of the deployed content is lost.

it is necessary to redeploy the content which is un-deployed (probably with an older version).

Example: Visual Composer is updated from patch level 12 to 15,but 15 found to be not compatible, so it is un-deployed. un-deploy means the complete content of visual composer is un-deployed and visual composer no more works. So redeploy the visual composer with version 12 or higher version 18

The SPAM/SAINT are incremental and they could not be reverted where as the java patches are cumulative and replaces the content.The SDM deploys the files with extension *.sca,*.sda,*.war,*.ear etc.

sdm starts by reading the profile sdm_jstartup.propertes.it stores the information in sdmrepository.sdc and backup the file in predefined intervals

SDM contains SDM Logs, Documentation, temp directory(used during export and import).

Default Ports used in SAP

If the instance no of SAP system is 00 then the ports no will be like this.

Here 3200 is the dispatcher port. In 3200 ( 32<instance no>, 32<00>). In JAVA System Port 50000 is
(5<instance no>00, 5<00>00 = 50000).
In ABAP system SAP uses  8<instance no>0.

SAP System Copy Backup Restore Method

          SAP System copy with "Backup and Restore Method" on Oracle database.

Restore Using Offline Backup: (System Copy Using Offline Backup) :

Source System:

NOTE:- For Homogeneous System Copy OS, DB, SAP  Version and Patch Level should be same.
 Install  OS, Loopback Adapter, IP Address, Hostname,  JAVA, Set Environment Variables and Virtual Memory.
 Install DB & Required Patch
Start   sapinst
Install as Distributed System

                Navigate to Path

Next

 Next

       After Global Host Preparation then Install Database Instanse

Stop in Import ABAP phase

  Restoring The System with sap backup

Goto sapbackup

Delete all Data from sapdata1,sapdata2,sapdata3,sapdata4, origlogA,origlogB,mirrorlogA,mirrorlogB
