NAME

       ocf_heartbeat_SAPInstance - Manages a SAP instance as an HA resource.

SYNOPSIS

       SAPInstance [start | stop | status | monitor | promote | demote | meta-data |
                   validate-all]

DESCRIPTION

       Usually a SAP system consists of one database and at least one or more SAP instances
       (sometimes called application servers). One SAP Instance is defined by having exactly one
       instance profile. The instance profiles can usually be found in the directory
       /sapmnt/SID/profile. Each instance must be configured as it's own resource in the cluster
       configuration. The resource agent supports the following SAP versions: - SAP WebAS ABAP
       Release 6.20 - 7.30 - SAP WebAS Java Release 6.40 - 7.30 - SAP WebAS ABAP + Java Add-In
       Release 6.20 - 7.30 (Java is not monitored by the cluster in that case) When using a SAP
       Kernel 6.40 please check and implement the actions from the section "Manual
       postprocessing" from SAP note 995116 (http://sdn.sap.com).

       All operations of the SAPInstance resource agent are done by using the startup framework
       called SAP Management Console or sapstartsrv that was introduced with SAP kernel release
       6.40. Find more information about the SAP Management Console in SAP note 1014480. Using
       this framework defines a clear interface for the Heartbeat cluster, how it sees the SAP
       system. The options for monitoring the SAP system are also much better than other methods
       like just watching the ps command for running processes or doing some pings to the
       application. sapstartsrv uses SOAP messages to request the status of running SAP
       processes. Therefore it can actually ask a process itself what it's status is, independent
       from other problems that might exist at the same time.

       sapstartsrv knows 4 status colours: - GREEN = everything is fine - YELLOW = something is
       wrong, but the service is still working - RED = the service does not work - GRAY = the
       service has not been started The SAPInstance resource agent will interpret GREEN and
       YELLOW as OK. That means that minor problems will not be reported to the Heartbeat
       cluster. This prevents the cluster from doing an unwanted failover.  The statuses RED and
       GRAY are reported as NOT_RUNNING to the cluster. Depending on the status the cluster
       expects from the resource, it will do a restart, failover or just nothing.

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

       InstanceName
           The full qualified SAP instance name. e.g. P01_DVEBMGS00_sapp01ci. Usually this is the
           name of the SAP instance profile. (required, string, no default)

       DIR_EXECUTABLE
           The full qualified path where to find sapstartsrv and sapcontrol. Specify this
           parameter, if you have changed the SAP kernel directory location after the default SAP
           installation. (optional, string, no default)

       DIR_PROFILE
           The full qualified path where to find the SAP START profile. Specify this parameter,
           if you have changed the SAP profile directory location after the default SAP
           installation. (optional, string, no default)

       START_PROFILE
           The name of the SAP START profile. Specify this parameter, if you have changed the
           name of the SAP START profile after the default SAP installation. As SAP release 7.10
           does not have a START profile anymore, you need to specify the Instance Profile than.
           (optional, string, no default)

       START_WAITTIME
           After that time in seconds a monitor operation is executed by the resource agent. Does
           the monitor return SUCCESS, the start ishandled as SUCCESS. This is useful to resolve
           timing problems with e.g. the J2EE-Addin instance.Usually the resource agent waits
           until all services are started and the SAP Management Console reports a GREEN status.
           A double stack installation (ABAP + Java AddIn) consists of an ABAP dispatcher and
           aJAVA instance. Normally the start of the JAVA instance takes much longer than the
           start of the ABAP instance. For a JAVA Instance you may need to configure a much
           higher timeout for the start operation of the resource in Heartbeat. The disadvantage
           here is, that the discovery of a failed start by the cluster takes longer. Somebody
           might say: For me it is important, that the ABAP instance is up and running. A failure
           of the JAVA instance shall not cause a failover of the SAP instance. Actually the SAP
           MC reports a YELLOW status, if the JAVA instance of a double stack system fails. From
           the resource agent point of view YELLOW means:everything is OK. Setting START_WAITTIME
           to a lower value determines the resource agent to check the status of the instance
           during a start operation after that time. As it would wait normally for a GREEN
           status, now it reports SUCCESS to the cluster in case of a YELLOW status already after
           the specified time. That is only useful for double stack systems. (optional, string,
           default 3600)

       AUTOMATIC_RECOVER
           The SAPInstance resource agent tries to recover a failed start attempt automaticaly
           one time. This is done by killing runing instance processes, removing the kill.sap
           file and executing cleanipc. Sometimes a crashed SAP instance leaves some processes
           and/or shared memory segments behind. Setting this option to true will try to remove
           those leftovers during a start operation. That is to reduce manual work for the
           administrator. (optional, boolean, default false)

       MONITOR_SERVICES
           Within a SAP instance there can be several services. Usually you will find the defined
           services in the START profile of the related instance (Attention: with SAP Release
           7.10 the START profile content was moved to the instance profile). Not all of those
           services are worth to monitor by the cluster. For example you properly do not like to
           failover your SAP instance, if the central syslog collector daemon fails. Those
           services are monitored within the SAPInstance resource agent: - disp+work - msg_server
           - enserver - enrepserver - jcontrol - jstart That names match the strings used in the
           output of the command 'sapcontrol -nr [Instance-Nr] -function GetProcessList'. The
           default should fit most cases where you want to manage a SAP Instance from the
           cluster. You may change this with this parameter, if you like to monitor more/less or
           other services that sapstartsrv supports. You may specify multiple services seperated
           by a | (pipe) sign in this parameter: disp+work|msg_server|enserver (optional, string,
           default disp+work|msg_server|enserver|enrepserver|jcontrol|jstart)

       SHUTDOWN_METHOD
           Usual a SAP Instance is stopped by the command 'sapcontrol -nr InstanceNr -function
           Stop'. SHUTDOWN_METHOD=KILL means to kill the SAP Instance using OS commands. SAP
           processes of the instance are terminated with 'kill -9', shared memory is deleted with
           'cleanipc' and the 'kill.sap' file will be deleted. That method is much faster than
           the gracefull stop, but the instance does not have the chance to say goodbye to other
           SAPinstances in the same system. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !! (optional, string, default
           normal)

       ERS_InstanceName
           Only used in a Master/Slave resource configuration: The full qualified SAP enqueue
           replication instance name. e.g. P01_ERS02_sapp01ers. Usually this is the name of the
           SAP instance profile. The enqueue replication instance must be installed, before you
           want to configure a master-slave cluster recource. The master-slave configuration in
           the cluster must use this properties: clone_max = 2 clone_node_max = 1 master_node_max
           = 1 master_max = 1 (optional, string, no default)

       ERS_START_PROFILE
           Only used in a Master/Slave resource configuration: The parameter ERS_InstanceName
           must also be set in this configuration. The name of the SAP START profile. Specify
           this parameter, if you have changed the name of the SAP START profile after the
           default SAP installation. As SAP release 7.10 does not have a START profile anymore,
           you need to specify the Instance Profile than. (optional, string, no default)

       PRE_START_USEREXIT
           The full qualified path where to find a script or program which should be executed
           before this resource gets started. (optional, string, no default)

       POST_START_USEREXIT
           The full qualified path where to find a script or program which should be executed
           after this resource got started. (optional, string, no default)

       PRE_STOP_USEREXIT
           The full qualified path where to find a script or program which should be executed
           before this resource gets stopped. (optional, string, no default)

       POST_STOP_USEREXIT
           The full qualified path where to find a script or program which should be executed
           after this resource got stopped. (optional, string, no default)
