 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.
 After the initial Setup (or technical upgrade) of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 there is
only a an initial Configuration Profile available which does not met efficient
BI/OLAP requirements. So the consulting of the following notes is a
mandatory step before the full and performant usage of the BI applications.
 Note 1044441 - Basis parameterization for NW 7.0 BI systems

 Note 192658 - Setting basis parameters for BW Systems

 Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g
 Note 1171650 - Automated Oracle DB parameter check
 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
 With the table RSADMIN you can do additional performance settings
depending on your selected DB.

 Installation and Master guides: http://service.sap.com/instguides  nw7.0
 The guarantee the correct Functionality for the usage of the nw7.0 Doublestack you have
to make sure, that the following SAP Standard Ports and Protocols are available:
 36<nr>, 36<nr>  MessageServer (Abap, Java)
 39<nr>, 39<nr>  internal MessageServer (Abap, Java)
 80<nr>  HTTP Port (Abap)
 82<nr>  HTTPS Port (Abap)
 81<nr>  HTTP MessageServer Port (Abap)
 25<nr>  SMTP Port (Abap)
 5<nr>00  J2EE HTTP Port (Java), additional Ports up to 5<nr>20
 5<nr>01  J2EE HTTPS Port (Abap)
 Where <nr> is the Instance Number of the Abap and the SCS (Java) Instance.
 After the installation has finished successfully, SAPInst has created the following entries in
/etc/services (where XX is set from 00 to 99)
 sapdpXX = 32XX/tcp
 sapdpXXs = 47XX/tcp
 sapgwXX = 33XX/tcp
 sapgwXXs = 48XX/tcp

Additional settings for correct DB Statistics on Oracle:

 Check for the latest Oracle Bug Fixes on http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain
you can use the Abap report RSBDCOS0 to run the command opatch lsinventory to find
out the status of the applied Oracle Bug Fixes.
 Note 1013912 - FAQ: Oracle BW performance
 Note 1171650 - Automated Oracle DB parameter check
 Note 1367725 - Exact percentages not displayed for BW Oracle statistics
 BW_ORA_HISTOSIZE_AUTO = X
 Check for the latest brtools
 Note 628590 is valid for Oracle 9i. The Parameter “-f monit” is obsolete with Oracle 10g.
 Make the correct settings for init<SID>.sap:
 stats_change_threshold = 1 to 2
 stats_parallel_degree = 2/CPU (max 15 proc.)
 stats_info_cubes = (RSNSPACE_TAB, XYZ*) (Note 428212)
 For now, it is advisable to delete any existing sp-files created by the installation process,
and use only the init<SID>.ora and init<SID>.sap files
The main reason is that some of the already made settings are removed by the sp-file and
there is no real benefit out of the usage for BI, e.g. all values are transferred back to byte
values where they specified as M or G values in the init<SID>.ora
