4.3.1 Do I Need the SAP IQ Client?
If you develop applications to access data on an SAP IQ server, and your client application resides on a
different platform from the SAP IQ server, you must install the appropriate SAP IQ client.
Basically, you need an SAP IQ client installed on each machine where client applications reside. When installed
on the SAP IQ server, the SAP IQ server can access SAP IQ on a remote server. For the contents of the SAP IQ
Client Suite, see SAP IQ Client Components [page 18].

4.3.2 Virtualized Environments
SAP IQ is supported on virtualization engines, such as VMWare vSphere, with some restrictions.
● The virtual machine environments must be officially certified and approved by the corresponding
operating system platform vendor.
● The operating system running in the virtual machine is already officially certified by SAP for SAP IQ. If an
issue cannot be reproduced, then the customer may be asked to reproduce the problem running natively
on the certified operating system, without the use of such virtualization systems.
● The extent of support does not cover performance. SAP does not guarantee the performance of SAP IQ
products running on virtual machines.
SAP IQ licenses are valid for both physical and virtual environments.
SAP IQ uses SySAM for licensing and supports its sub-capacity licensing feature. See the SySAM Users Guide
for more information if you run SAP IQ in a virtualized environment.

4.4 Product Components
Choose the components to install based on how you plan to use SAP IQ.
To create a custom server or client installation, just deselect any default components that you don't want, and
add those optional components that you need. See Typical or Custom Installation? [page 17].
In this section:

4.4.4 Administration Tools
SAP IQ database administration tools include SAP IQ Cockpit 4.0, a Web-based interface.
SAP IQ Cockpit provides a view specific to SAP IQ and full access to all its features.
See SAP IQ Cockpit for more details.
4.5 License Requirements
SAP IQ requires a product license for each product edition except the Evaluation Edition. You also need
separate licenses for any optional features available for your edition.
Read this section to decide:
● What licenses you need.

● Whether you want to manage and distribute licenses from a network license server.
You can manage licenses using the network license server (served licenses), or manage licenses individually
yourself (unserved licenses). See License Deployment [page 22].
Whether you install a licensed or evaluation edition, you have 30-day access to all features and options. To use
an option beyond the 30-day evaluation period, you must purchase and install an appropriate license. The
SySAM licensing mechanism lets your system administrator enable and monitor the site's use of SAP
products.
Because using an unlicensed option on a licensed server can cause the server to shut down when the initial
grace period expires, the DBA must explicitly authorize access to an optionally licensed feature. SAP IQ will not
try to check out an optional license by default. Unless the DBA grants access to an option, the option is
unavailable.
Note
SAP IQ periodically checks the number of processors it can use and attempts to check out additional
licenses for any increase. SAP IQ shuts down after 30 days if additional licenses are not made available
within this period.

When you purchase an SAP product, you receive an e-mail message that tells you how to generate SAP IQ
license keys on the Web. The e-mail message also provides specific product and licensing information. Use
this information when you generate your licenses.
After installation, you can view and change the license management configuration and enable or disable
optional licenses. See Verify and Authorize Optional Licensed Components [page 104] for information about
authorizing optional features and other issues related to license management configuration.
In this section:
Evaluation Edition [page 20]

The Evaluation Edition does not require a license. The Evaluation Edition is an unlicensed server, which
provides full access to all features and options available in the Enterprise Edition. To run an unlicensed
database beyond a 30-day evaluation period, however, you must purchase and install an appropriate
license.
Express Edition [page 20]

Unlike the Evaluation Edition, the Express Edition does not expire, but does place some limits on the
way you deploy your server.
Enterprise Edition and Licensed Options [page 21]

SAP IQ Enterprise Edition requires a CPU license and supports several licensing options.
License Deployment [page 22]

Before you generate a license for SAP IQ, determine the license deployment model.
Before You Generate Licenses [page 30]

Have the necessary information available before generating licenses.
4.5.1 Evaluation Edition
The Evaluation Edition does not require a license. The Evaluation Edition is an unlicensed server, which
provides full access to all features and options available in the Enterprise Edition. To run an unlicensed
database beyond a 30-day evaluation period, however, you must purchase and install an appropriate license.
4.5.2 Express Edition
Unlike the Evaluation Edition, the Express Edition does not expire, but does place some limits on the way you
deploy your server.
Available at no cost, the SAP IQ Express Edition supports all options and features available in the Evaluation
Edition, and includes an IQ_XE SySAM license, which is installed as part of the Express Edition server package.
You won't need a SySAM license server for this edition.
Unlike the Evaluation Edition, which limits server access to a 30-day appraisal period, the IQ_XE SySAM
license does not expire. However, the IQ_XE SySAM license restricts the aggregated size of all IQ main
dbspaces to a size of 5 GB or less. The SAP IQ Express Edition is not eligible for production deployment and is
not supported by SAP Customer Service and Support (CS&S).

4.5.3 Enterprise Edition and Licensed Options
SAP IQ Enterprise Edition requires a CPU license and supports several licensing options.
Orderable License Actual License Description
CPU IQ_CORE Restricts the number of cores (not CPUs) that a server can use.
VLDB MO IQ_VLDBMGMT Allows you to create multiple tablespaces and additional dbspaces beyond
the defaults:
● You are allowed one IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP dbspace, one IQ_SYS

TEM_MAIN dbspace, one IQ_SHARED_TEMP, and one additional user
defined main store dbspace.
● Additional dbspaces require the IQ_VLDBMGMT license, which restricts
the ability to create table partitions. An IQ_VLDBMGMT is required
whenever an SAP IQ server creates or starts with two or more IQ user
dbspaces.
Each VLDB license allows for 1 TB of storage. You will need to purchase one
license for each additional TB of storage in the main store.
If you are not licensed for the IQ_VLDBMGMT option, SAP IQ returns a No
such feature exists error when you try to create more than one ta
ble partition or user dbspace.
ASO IQ_SECURITY Allows you to use column encryption, ECC Kerberos and FIPS. The number
of ASO licenses must match the number of cores.
MPXO IQ_MPXNODE Allows you to start secondary multiplex nodes (readers/writers). The num
ber of nodes must always be less than the number of cores, as each multi
plex server must have at least one core.
IDBA-PSO IQ_UDF Allows you to define and run high-performance scalar and aggregate user-
defined functions.
This license is only available with approved third-party libraries.
IQ_IDA Allows you to build, deploy and run your own C/C++ V4 User-Defined Func
tions (UDF).
The IQ_IDA license will function as both the InDatabase Analytics Option and
Partner Solutions license.
UDA IQ_UDA Allows you to use the IQ Text Search functionality, which lets SAP IQ search
unstructured and semi-structured data. An IQ_UDA also includes an IQ_LOB
license. This license applies to TEXT indexes.

4.5.4 License Deployment
Before you generate a license for SAP IQ, determine the license deployment model.
● The served license model – licenses are deployed to one or more SySAM license servers. Using a license
server simplifies and centralizes license administration if you run SAP IQ on several machines, as doing so
provides more control over software assets.
● The unserved license model – you generate and download a separate license for each machine where the
SAP IQ server runs.
In this section:
Served License Deployment Model [page 22]

The license server is a lightweight application that serves licenses to products running on any
operating system.
Unserved License Deployment Model [page 23]

Under an unserved model, licenses are installed locally and always available.
Comparing the License Deployment Models [page 23]

Compare the characteristics between the served and unserved license models to determine which
setup works best for your environment.
Using SAP IQ when the License Server is Offline [page 24]

Even when a SySAM-enabled product is disconnected from its license server, SySAM allows you to
borrow licenses for your product to work offline.
How SySAM Checks Out Licenses [page 24]

SAP SySAM related products check out licenses on start-up, and perform periodic heartbeat checks to
verify that licenses remain available. If a license is unavailable, the product determines whether it can
be awarded a grace period.
Common License Deployment Scenarios [page 25]

Learn about some typical license server deployment scenarios and suggestions for a SySAM setup
that best serves each scenario. You can mix and match the suggested configurations with other
variations, to best suit your needs.
4.5.4.1 Served License Deployment Model
The license server is a lightweight application that serves licenses to products running on any operating
system.
When you choose the served license deployment model, licenses are deployed to one or more SySAM license
servers.
A license server can run on a low-end machine or a machine with spare cycles. For example, a license server
running on a Solaris UltraSparc-60 serving 100 different licenses to 200 product instances, may use 50 MB of
memory, 5 minutes of CPU time per week, and 100 MB of disk space per year.
After you install the required license servers and generate served licenses, install your products. You can
configure the products to obtain licenses from one or more license servers.

You cannot start the license server until there is at least one served license saved to the licenses
directory on the license server host machine.

4.5.4.4 Using SAP IQ when the License Server is Offline
Even when a SySAM-enabled product is disconnected from its license server, SySAM allows you to borrow
licenses for your product to work offline.
You can use the licensed product offline until the borrowed licenses expire.
When borrowed licenses expire, you reconnect to the network license server and borrow them again for the
product to work offline. If you do not reborrow licenses before your currently borrowed licenses expire, the
product runs only for a runtime grace period, then ceases to function.
Note
Typically, the maximum duration for which you can borrow a license is 30 days.
4.5.4.5 How SySAM Checks Out Licenses
SAP SySAM related products check out licenses on start-up, and perform periodic heartbeat checks to verify
that licenses remain available. If a license is unavailable, the product determines whether it can be awarded a
grace period.
The grace period starts from the time a license was last in use and persists for 90 days. At the end of the grace
period, the product performs an orderly shutdown, if running, or fails to start up. If the license (or a
replacement license) becomes available, the cycle continues with the heartbeat, noting the last use of the
license.
In this section:
Three-License-Server Redundancy [page 24]

Tolerance for temporary licensing failure is usually sufficient. However, in certain circumstances, you
may choose to use “three-license-server redundancy.”
4.5.4.5.1 Three-License-Server Redundancy
Tolerance for temporary licensing failure is usually sufficient. However, in certain circumstances, you may
choose to use “three-license-server redundancy.”
For example:

● A grace period is not provided for the license type Floating License (FL).
● Standby copy systems rarely qualify for a grace period because they are unlikely to have been used within
the last 30 days.
● Company policy dictates the use of redundancy.
For three-license-server redundancy, use three machines that each:
● Run the same version of the SySAM license server.

● Have good intermachine communication.
● Use a separate copy of the same license files.
A product using per-processor licensing checks out a license quantity equal to the number of processors it can
use. If there are not enough licenses, it applies a runtime grace period. A runtime grace period is also applied if
the number of processors increases and the product is unable to check out additional licenses. The product
shuts down if additional licenses are not made available within the runtime grace period. Decreasing the
available number of processors while it is running does not reduce the required license quantity. You must
restart the product on the correct number of processors.
4.5.4.6 Common License Deployment Scenarios
Learn about some typical license server deployment scenarios and suggestions for a SySAM setup that best
serves each scenario. You can mix and match the suggested configurations with other variations, to best suit
your needs.
In this section:
Small Environment, Unserved Licenses [page 25]

The easiest setup for this environment is to use unserved licenses, which have a simple initial setup
and require little, if any, ongoing monitoring.
Single Site with Multiple Products, Served Licenses [page 27]

This deployment scenario assumes you have one site, running multiple products, that requires asset
management capabilities.
Multiple Sites with Security Considerations and Remote Users [page 28]
This deployment scenario has multiple sites, each with multiple SAP products, with a license server at
each site. This removes the dependency on network availability and latency, and can provide load
balancing.
4.5.4.6.1 Small Environment, Unserved Licenses
The easiest setup for this environment is to use unserved licenses, which have a simple initial setup and
require little, if any, ongoing monitoring.
This deployment scenario uses an unserved license deployment model that works best in:
● Very small environments using only a few license files that require little management. If you have more
than 10 hosts, it is probably better to move to a served license deployment model, since a served license
allows you to update all licenses in one step.

● Hosts that are isolated (or need to be isolated) from one network to another; for example, secure
networks, and so on.
● Secure environments, where communication between hosts is limited or restricted; for example, all ports
are blocked, or specific ports are not allowed to be opened on a host.
● Occasionally connected systems, such as laptops or handheld devices.
Figure 1: Small Unserved License Configuration
The "Small Unserved License Configuration" figure illustrates a simple unserved license architecture with two
hosts: ASTRO and ELROY. Each license file is installed locally on the same machine that runs the SySAM 2-
enabled products that use that specific license file. The license is used only on the machine on which it is
installed. In each license file representation, the license file HOSTID matches the unique license host
identification for the machine on which the associated licensed product is installed.
To get this information, run lmutil hostid from the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory, on each machine
for which you want to determine the host ID.
When you log in to the SPDC or SAP Support Portal to generate licenses, enter the correct host ID for the
machine where the product will run.
When using an unserved license, remember that:
● The unserved license is valid only on the machine for which it was generated. The license is node-locked to
the host where your SySAM 2-enabled product is installed, and the license activates products only on that
host. You cannot copy the license file to another machine and use it to run another instance of a product.
● The unserved license deployment model does not use a license server. When you start a product, it looks
for a local license file.

● You must manage unserved licenses, regardless of the architecture in which they are implemented. Most
licenses have a version that usually coincides with the end of your annual support agreement with SAP.
To download and apply product updates and patches, when you renew your product support, update your
SySAM licenses to reflect that fact. Renewing support and updating the corresponding license files on a
few hosts is not difficult, but trying to update 100 or 1,000 hosts would be a formidable task.
4.5.4.6.2 Single Site with Multiple Products, Served

Licenses
This deployment scenario assumes you have one site, running multiple products, that requires asset
management capabilities.
Typically, a served license with one license server that serves all SAP licenses works most efficiently in such an
environment. The overhead of maintaining the license server is compensated by the asset management
functionality and a reduction in ongoing license maintenance because of the license server.
Figure 2: Single-Site Served License Configuration
The "Single-Site Served License Configuration" figure shows one license server that is set up to grant SySAM
licenses to all SAP products in use. Each instance of a product contacts the license server to acquire a license.
You can set up the license server on a separate host machine, but because the license server uses few
resources, it can typically be hosted on an existing machine.

4.5.4.6.3 Multiple Sites with Security Considerations and
Remote Users
This deployment scenario has multiple sites, each with multiple SAP products, with a license server at each
site. This removes the dependency on network availability and latency, and can provide load balancing.
Figure 3: Multiple Sites and License Servers
The "Multiple Sites and License Servers" figure illustrates an organization with major sites in New York,
London, and Tokyo. Each site uses multiple instances of multiple SAP products. A license server is installed at
each site and individual product instances acquire licenses from the license server at that site.
You can configure the products to find remote license servers if the required license cannot be found on the
site license server, or if the site license server is not running. To share a limited number of floating licenses
across all sites while using the site license server for other licenses, set up those floating licenses on the
license server where floating licenses are likely to be used frequently. At the other sites, you can set up license
search paths. The redundancy provided by this configuration is limited to the number of unused licenses,
including any overdraft licenses that remain on each license server.
You can also consider alternate configurations. For example, if the network communication between two sites
is extremely reliable with minimal latency, you can share a license server between two sites. Smaller remote
sites can share a license server with a larger site that provides the most reliable network connection, even
though the larger site may not be the closest site geographically.
This setup is an extension to the multiple site case explained above. It also addresses additional
considerations including security within your network, remote users, and DMZs. This setup uses a mix of

license models and servers to meet your needs. Individual components of this deployment can be applied to
any of the other deployment scenarios.
Figure 4: Complex, Multiple-Site Installations
The "Complex, Multiple-Site Installations" figure depicts a multiple-site deployment with multiple product
setup with additional security requirements. In this example:
● The Headquarters network includes both development and production installations.

● The production installations are set up within a secure subnet within the network.
● The database and application servers that serve the Web are set up in the DMZ.
● Home office and mobile users access the software remotely through VPN.
● There is a disaster recovery center at a remote location.
● There are other secondary sites for the organization.
This example uses a single license server for Headquarters, which serves the development, production, and
remote users’ needs. While the license server is shared for development and production needs, available
licenses can be demarcated based on intended deployment.
● The production subnet security policies are relaxed to allow connections to the license server host and
port.
● The VPN policies allow a connection to license server host and ports.

If your security policies do not permit the production subnet to access a license server outside the subnet, set
up a separate license server inside the subnet.
Note
Use a fixed port for the lmgrd license manager and SAP vendor daemon in such situations. Firewall and
VPN policies must accommodate both lmgrd and SAP port numbers. This means that SERVER lines and
VENDOR lines in all license files must specify the port numbers chosen for the license manager and SAP
daemon processes. For example, a license server running on machine server_1 with thelmgrd license
manager daemon, listening on port 27001 and the SAP vendor daemon listening on port 27100 should use a
license file headed with the following two lines:
SERVER server_1 ANY 27001

VENDOR SAP PORT=27100
Unserved licenses are set up on the DMZ to serve licenses to product instances using the Web. This reduces
the need to set up another license server or open up additional traffic through the firewall.
SAP recommends that you use a separate license server for your disaster recovery site. This ensures
availability of the license server in case of a major catastrophe at the primary site.
If your disaster recovery setup includes cold-standby servers, set up the license servers in a three-server
redundant cluster. This reduces the possibility of a license server being unavailable when a cold-standby
server is attempting to come online. Such redundancy for license servers is typically not needed unless you
are using cold-standby systems.
Each secondary or remote site can have its own license server.

for information about your account.
4.5.5.1 Determining Host IDs
Identify the host ID of the machine where the licenses will be deployed.
● For served licenses, specify the host ID of the machine where the license server will run.
● For unserved licenses, specify the physical host ID of the machine where the product will run.
If you are running a product with per-CPU or per-CHIP licensing that supports SySAM sub-capacity, and you
want to run the product in a virtualized environment, use the sysamcap utility to enter the host ID for the
virtual machine, partition, or resource-set.
SPDC or SMP remembers the host information so that you can select the same license server when generating
additional licenses.
In this section:
Finding the Host ID for a Physical Machine [page 32]

Use the lmutil utility or the appropriate operating system command to find your host ID.
Finding Host IDs for Machines with Multiple Network Adapters [page 33]
On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address.

4.5.5.1.1 Finding the Host ID for a Physical Machine
Use the lmutil utility or the appropriate operating system command to find your host ID.
The lmutil utility is included in the SySAM license server download.
To determine the host ID of the machine using lmutil, enter:
lmutil lmhostid
Platform Host ID Type Native OS Command
Windows Ethernet Address ipconfig/all(use "Physical Address" value)
Solaris Host ID hostid
Linux Ethernet Address /sbin/ifconfig eth0 (use "HWaddr" value)
MAC OS X Ethernet Address /sbin/ifconfig eth0 (use "ether" value)
Tru-UNIX (Digital) Ethernet Address netstat -i
IBM AIX Host ID uname -m (returns 000276513100), then remove both the
first and the last two digits, and use the remaining eight dig
its
HP-UX PA-RISC Host ID uname -i (convert to hex, or prepend with #)
HP-UX Itanium Machine ID getconf CS_PARTITION_IDENT (prefix with

"ID_STRING=")
SGI Host ID /etc/sysinfo -s (convert to hex, or prefix #)
Each host ID type has valid formats that will be checked when generating a license. Make sure the value
entered matches these valid formats.
Ethernet addresses are 12 character hex values consisting of digits 0 through 9 and characters A through F.
They may be entered in any of the following formats:
● 12AB34CD56EF
● 12-AB-34-CD-56-EF
● 3.12:AB:34:CD:56:EF
For some platforms, the host ID can also be entered in decimal formats, in this case prefix the host ID with the
"#" sign. Example: #1039716963
The Disk Serial Number is always entered with a "DISK_SERIAL_NUM=" prefix. For example:
DISK_SERIAL_NUM=3e2e17fd
The machine ID string is always entered with an "ID_STRING=" prefix. For example: ID_STRING=9c766319-
db72-d411-af62-0060b05e4c05

4.5.5.1.2 Finding Host IDs for Machines with Multiple
Network Adapters
On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address.
Context
If the machine where your product is installed or where the license server is hosted has multiple network
adapters, running lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network adapter, and returns output
similar to this:
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine

is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90""
Only use ONE from the list of hostids.
It is important that you:
● Choose only one host ID to enter during license generation.

● Use the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter.
● Do not use values associated with internal loopback or virtual adapters.
If you cannot determine the host ID using the lmutil lmhostid output, use the native operating system
commands to get additional details.
4.5.5.2 Access Through a Firewall or VPN
SySAM license server listens on two TCP/IP ports for incoming license requests. Therefore, firewall or VPN
policies require a set-up to allow access to both ports.
The SySAM license server consists of two processes: the license manager daemon (lmgrd) and the vendor
daemon (SYBASE).
Set the ports by specifying their port numbers in the license files on the SySAM license server. For example, to
force lmgrd to listen on port 27010 and the SYBASE vendor daemon to listen on port 27011, the license file
header should have:
SERVER keyserver 1D1D1D1D 27010

VENDOR SYBASE PORT=27011
A SySAM enabled product only needs to know the port where lmgrd is listening. The product connects to
lmgrd on that port and will then be told which port to use to connect to the SYBASE vendor daemon. This
means that the product's local license file just needs to contain the following:
SERVER keyserver ANY 27010

USE_SERVER
When generating licenses at SPDC, specify the license server port to fix the port for lmgrd. Edit the license file
to specify the SYBASE vendor daemon port.

When generating licenses at SMP, specify both ports. The port for lmgrd is specified as License Server Port 1,
and the SYBASE vendor daemon port as License Server Port 2. For three-server-redundant configurations,
you can only specify the SYBASE vendor daemon port for the primary license server; same value is used for
the secondary and tertiary license servers.
Note
You can specify any unused port number between 0 and 64000. On UNIX, choose a port number greater
than 1024, as most port numbers less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. Do not specify a number in
the range 27000 to 27009 for License Server Port 2, as ports in this range are used by the lmgrd process
when no port is specified for License Server Port 1.
4.5.5.3 License Types
SAP IQ is sold under different license types that control where you can use it. License types include in
production, standby, or development and test environments.
The license type determines the quantity of licenses required, such as whether a license is required for each
machine; or for each CPU, or CPU chip; or per terabyte of storage.
For example, SAP IQ purchased under the CPU License (CP) type requires one license per CPU on the
machine, partition, or resource set where it will run. SAP IQ purchased under the Server License (SR) type
requires a single license for the machine, partition, or resource set.
Make sure you select the correct license type when you generate your SySAM license file, since your account
may have the same product licensed under multiple license types.
When you generate licenses, each license type is presented on the License Information screen, such as:
License Type: CPU License (CP)
In this section:
Optional Feature Licenses [page 34]

Some applications are offered as base products with optional features that require an additional
separate license.
4.5.5.3.1 Optional Feature Licenses
Some applications are offered as base products with optional features that require an additional separate
license.
You can mix license types. For example, you can order SAP IQ under the Server License (SR) license type and
order an optional feature (such as IQ_VLDBMGMT) under the CPU License (CP) type.
Optional features are licensed only with the base product of the same product edition. For example, if you
order SAP IQ, you cannot use an Evaluation Edition optional feature license with the Enterprise Edition base

product. In addition, the entitled use of the license types must be compatible; for example, both types should
allow use in a production environment.
4.5.5.4 Generating a SySAM License
Log in to SAP Service Marketplace to generate a license key for SAP IQ. Refer to the email you received for
information about your account.
Context
When you purchase SySAM–enabled SAP products, such as SAP IQ, you must generate, download, and
deploy product licenses. You will need a license whether you use the served or unserved deployment model.
● To generate your unserved license, you need the host ID and host name of the SAP IQ server.
● To generate your served license, you need the host ID and host name of the SySAM license server.
● Served licenses require a license server. If you do not plan to use an existing license server, you must
install one before you install SAP IQ.
Procedure
1. Start your browser, and login to the SAP Service Marketplace at: https://support.sap.com/licensekey .
2. Follow the online instructions.
3. Save your license to a temporary location on the local file system. You must save the license file with
a .lic extension.
4.6 Storage Options
Consider the storage options for your database system before installation.
For SAP IQ dbspaces in production, use a fault-tolerant file system implemented by a high-performance,
redundant disk array (for example, RAID 5). For single-server systems, you can use a local file system, but
multiplex systems require raw devices, ideally on a Storage Area Network device. Multiple raw disks enable
SAP IQ to stripe data across devices, which improves performance.
In this section:
Raw Devices [page 36]

On UNIX-like operating systems, you can create a database or dbspace on a raw device or a file system
file.
Avoiding Environmental Issues [page 36]

Installing SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ on different machines avoids potential start-up problems.
4.6.1 Raw Devices
On UNIX-like operating systems, you can create a database or dbspace on a raw device or a file system file.
Disk partitions are typically accessed in two modes: file system mode (for example through the UFS file
system) or raw mode. Raw mode does unbuffered I/O, generally making a data transfer to or from the device
with every read or write system call. UFS is the default UNIX file system, and is a buffered I/O system, which
collects data in a buffer until it can transfer an entire buffer at a time.
You create a database or dbspace on a raw device or a file system file. SAP IQ uses the path name you specify
to determine whether the partition is a raw partition or a file system file. Raw partitions can be any size.
When you allocate file system files for dbspaces (System, IQ main, or IQ temporary), do not place the files on a
file system that is shared over a local area network. Doing so can lead to poor I/O performance and other
problems, including overloading the local area network. Linux uses O_DIRECT to open files, allowing SAP IQ to
support multiplex dbspace files on filesystem files, including NFS. Simplex IQ servers also support dbspace
files on NFS.
To avoid conflicts, restrict the management of dbspaces to a single database administrator on a single
connection.
4.6.2 Avoiding Environmental Issues
Installing SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ on different machines avoids potential start-up problems.
Install SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ on different host machines. When you install both products on the same
machine, the environment variables for the product installed last overwrite those of the product installed first,
causing start-up problems for the first product.
4.7 Network Options
Do you plan to take advantage of SAP IQ distributed query processing? Distributed query processing can
benefit from an optional high-speed interconnect. Use scalable interconnect technology to connect multiplex
nodes.
For best performance, use:
● A high-speed network interconnect providing a local network that connects all multiplex nodes. Use an
interconnect bandwidth of 1 GB or higher or the highest bandwidth, lowest latency interconnect available.
● Two physically separate network interfaces for each multiplex node:
○ A public network for multiplex interconnection traffic and client traffic.
○ A private network for multiplex interconnect traffic only, excluding external client traffic. Currently,
multiplex interconnects support only the TCP/IP standard.

These two networks improve security, fault-tolerance, and performance.
● A switch that enables high-speed communication between nodes.
● Network cards that reside on different fabrics so that the multiplex survives network failure. Separate the
public and private networks physically.
● Private interconnect fabrics that contain only links to machines participating in the multiplex. Private
interconnect for all multiplex nodes should connect to the same switch, which connects to no other public
switches or routers.
● Redundant network interface cards added to private or public networks if desired. The private and public
connection information allows for multiple IP addresses on each.

5 Preinstallation Tasks
Complete these tasks before starting the installation process. These are operating system-level tasks to be
completed by the network administrator.
In this section:
Check for Operating System Patches [page 39]

Check with your vendor and apply the latest operating system patches. Do not use a patch that is
earlier than the version suggested for your operating system.
Increase the Swap Space [page 40]

The recommended minimum swap space is 1 GB. Certain operations may cause the memory usage to
grow dynamically. Changing the way SAP IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses
memory.
Check Port Availability for SAP IQ Cockpit [page 40]

SAP IQ Cockpit uses reserved port numbers.
Verify Network Functionality [page 40]

Make sure your network devices can communicate before you install SAP IQ.
Platform-Specific Tasks [page 40]

Complete these platform-specific tasks before starting the installation process.
Create the SAP IQ Account [page 44]

the version suggested for your operating system.
See Supported Server Platforms [page 14].

Preinstallation Tasks PUBLIC 39
5.2 Increase the Swap Space
The recommended minimum swap space is 1 GB. Certain operations may cause the memory usage to grow
dynamically. Changing the way SAP IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses memory.
Depending on the load, swap requirements may exceed space allotted. Insufficient swap space may result in
the system supporting fewer users, and large processes that cannot acquire sufficient swap space may be
prematurely killed by the operating system.
See your operating system documentation for information about extending swap space.
5.3 Check Port Availability for SAP IQ Cockpit
SAP IQ Cockpit uses reserved port numbers.
Before proceeding, if you are planning to install SAP IQ, verify the availability of the following ports . If already
in use, identify alternate port numbers to be specified during installation.
● HTTP Port: 4282

● HTTPS Port: 4283
● RMI Port: 4992
● TDS Port: 4998
5.4 Verify Network Functionality
Make sure your network devices can communicate before you install SAP IQ.
SAP IQ uses networking software whenever the client and server components are installed on different
systems. Use the ping command to and from another computer to verify that the server where you plan to
install SAP IQ can use TCP/IP to communicate with other devices on your network.
5.5 Platform-Specific Tasks

allocates more than just a few MB of memory to HugePages, remove the HugePages options from /etc/
sysctl.conf and restore the kernel to the default configuration.
Transparent HugePages
Disable Transparent HugePages to avoid SAP IQ performance problems.
5.5.2 Set the Kernel Parameters
Set the number of available semaphore identifiers to at least 4096.
Context
To display the current values of the semaphore kernel parameters, use:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
250 32000 32 4096
The four values displayed are:

● SEMMSL – maximum number of semaphores per set.
● SEMMNS – maximum number of semaphores system–wide.
● SEMOPM – maximum number of operations allowed for one semop call.
● SEMMNI – maximum number of semaphore identifiers (sets).
To adjust these values, and save them for future server restarts, edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file. For
example, to increase the maximum number of semaphore identifiers to 4096, add the following line:
kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 4096
Make sure you leave one space before and after equals sign.
To make a change that lasts only until the next restart, use:
echo 250 32000 32 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
5.5.3 Install Required Support Packages and Libraries
Required Linux support packages and libraries.
System Libraries to support LibX* Libraries
LinuxAMD64 requires these libraries to support libX* libraries:
● openmotif-2.3.1-2.el5
● libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5
● libXt-1.0.2-3.1.fc6

directory
Applies to all SAP IQ 16.x versions.
5.6 Create the SAP IQ Account
Create an SAP IQ account to provide consistent ownership and privileges for all installation, upgrade, and
administration tasks.
Create the SAP IQ user on every machine you plan to install SAP IQ server, SAP IQ client, or the SySAM license
server on. The SAP IQ user can be a normal nonadministration user and does not require root access. Log in to
machines as this user to install or administer SAP IQ.
If you have already installed other SAP software, the SAP IQ user may already exist. If so, verify that you can
log in to the machine using this account. If there is no SAP IQ account on your system, see your operating
system documentation for instructions for creating new user accounts.

5.7 Download Installation Files
SAP IQ installation and update packages are available on the SAP Software Download Center.

6.5 Understanding the SySAM Directory Structure
SySAM files are installed in the SYSAM-2_0 directory.
The SYSAM-2_0 directory contains these default subdirectories and files:
Subdirectory name Subdirectory files Description
bin sysam Wrapper script to manage the license server
lmgrd License server manager daemon
SYBASE Vendor daemon
lmutil Licensing Utility program (from Flexera)
lmtools.exe (Windows only) GUI License Utility program (from Flexera)

SYBASE.opt License server options file
log SYBASE.log License server debug log
6.6 SySAM Utilities
The licensing utility program, lmutil, includes the options for managing licensing activities.
Utility Description
lmborrow Supports license borrowing.
lmdiag Diagnoses license checkout problems.
lmdown Shuts down selected license daemons.
lmhostid Reports the system host identifier for the machine on which the command is run.

Utility Description
lminstall (Not supported by SAP) Converts license files to different formats.
lmnewlog Moves the existing report log information to a new file name and starts a new report log file with the
existing file name.
lmpath Allows direct control over license file path settings. SAP recommends that you place all license files
in the license directory rather than scattering them and modifying the license server’s search path.
lmremove Releases the failed license to the pool of free licenses. If a SAP product is still using the license, the
product obtains the license again during its next heartbeat.
lmreread Directs the license daemon to reread the license file and to start any new vendor daemons.
lmstat Displays the license server system status.
lmswitch Tells the license server to start writing to a new debug log file. When you restart the license server,
it uses the debug log file specified in the options file, so you must ensure the old log is renamed to
avoid appending to it.
lmswitchr Switches the report log to a new file name. SAP recommends that you use lmnewlog to archive
the report log instead.
lmver Reports the FLEXnet Licensing version of a library or binary file.

7 Installing SAP IQ Server Software
SAP IQ server installation media supports GUI, console, and unattended (silent) installs. You can use the
installation media to install a new SAP IQ server and selected components or to add additional components to
an existing installation.
In this section:
Installing a Server in GUI Mode [page 55]

Use this option to install your server software using a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI installer
is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.
Installing a Server in Console Mode [page 57]

Choose a console installation if you prefer a non-GUI interface. Installing server components in console
mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run the installer from the command line, and
enter text to select the installation options.
Installing a Server in Unattended (Silent) Mode [page 59]

Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the
absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a server
installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in either GUI or console mode.
Server Environment Variables [page 63]
Finding Server Utilities and Files [page 64]

SAP IQ uses environment variables to point to different installation directories.
Reviewing Server Installation Logs [page 66]

The installer writes a general log to the $SYBASE directory that records all installation activity and
individual logs for each installed component. If an installation problem occurs, start with the
IQ_Suite.log, then refer to the component log for specific details.

7.1 Installing a Server in GUI Mode
Use this option to install your server software using a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI installer is
wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.
Prerequisites

● If you plan to apply an unserved license during installation, the license file is in a location accessible to the
installer.
● If you plan to apply a served license during installation, the SYSAM license server must be configured and
running. See Installing SySAM License Server [page 46].
Procedure

3. When prompted, specify a parent install directory. Do not install SAP IQ into a destination directory or
path that contains spaces.
For a new server installation, specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory
from a previous installation.
If installing the SySAM license server and SAP IQ server on the same machine, do not install to a common
parent directory.
If adding components to an existing SAP IQ server, specify the existing parent install directory. Specifying
a different parent directory overwrites existing environment variables and may cause unexpected
behavior.
The GUI installer warns you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent install directory or path
has changed since the last installation on the machine and you are about to replace the existing
environment variables.
4. Do one of:
For Action
New installations Select Typical to install all default components. Select Custom to select
and deselect individual components to install.

4. Do one of:
For Action
New Installations Select Typical to install all default components. Select Custom to select
For "Custom" installations, type the number of the feature to be selected

or deselected. The number acts as a switch to the current setting of a fea
ture, though the display does not update.
For example, to install the SAP IQ server only, type 7,10,12.
Note
Specifying a parent product automatically applies the switch to any
child components associated with that feature. For example, typing 1 is
equivalent to typing 2,4,5,6. However, if you typed 1,2,4,5,6, the 1
would deselect SAP IQ and all its children, then 2,4,5,6 would reselect
each specified child feature. The net result would be that all children
within SAP IQ would be installed.

7.3 Installing a Server in Unattended (Silent) Mode
Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the absence of the
GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a server installation in silent mode is
exactly the same as one done in either GUI or console mode.

In this section:
Creating a Server Response File [page 60]

You create a response file by recording your responses while running a server installation. You can
create the file using either GUI or console mode.
Installing a Server Using a Response File [page 62]

The system uses the responses in the file to perform the server installation.
7.3.1 Creating a Server Response File
You create a response file by recording your responses while running a server installation. You can create the
file using either GUI or console mode.
Prerequisites

Context
The response file is not created until the current installation completes. Your responses to screen prompts,
not your actual keystrokes, are recorded in the file. Give careful thought to your responses as they will be used
in every installation using the response file.
If you are using an unserved license model, it is recommended that you select an evaluation license when
creating a response file. You can apply the unserved license after running the silent install. However, if you
choose to license when creating the response file, the unserved license file specified in the response file must
be available to the installer. If the file is not found during installation, the silent installation fails with a licensing
error message.
If you are using a served license model, ensure the SYSAM License Manger is configured and running before
you select license server when creating a response file.
Procedure

Mode Syntax
GUI ./setup.bin -r <responseFileName>
Console ./setup.bin -i console -r <responseFileName>
where <responseFileName> includes the absolute path and file name of the response file. If no path is
specified, the file is created in the current folder.
Note
Though optional, it is recommended that you add the file extension .properties to any custom
response file you create to help identify it.
3. Respond to the screen prompts as you would for an attended installation.
Tip
○ Keep in mind that your responses to each prompt are being saved to the file and will be used for
each unattended installation. While it is possible to edit the response file before using it, this should
be kept to a minimum to prevent unexpected errors in the file from spelling errors or invalid
responses, which could cause the installation to fail or not install as intended.
○ It is not recommended that you license SAP IQ with a license file when creating a response file. The
license file name and location would be recorded in the response file. For an unattended installation
to successfully license the SAP IQ server using this response file, the license file would need to have
the same name and exist in the specified location on the machine before the installation begins.

Results
The response file is created when the installation completes.
Related Information


7.3.2 Installing a Server Using a Response File
The system uses the responses in the file to perform the server installation.
Prerequisites

● If your response file specifies an unserved license, the license file is available to the installer in the location
specified in the response file.
● If you plan to apply a served license during installation, the SySAM license server is configured and
running.
Context
You can use the default response file, installer.properties or a custom response file. You can edit any
response file, but be careful. If you edit the information in the file and it becomes invalid, the silent installation
might fail. To override the default installation options, use the -f argument to point to a custom response file.
The cursor disappears when the silent installation begins and reappears once complete. Press Ctrl + c at
any time to cancel a silent installation.
Procedure
setup.bin –f <responseFileName> -i silent

-DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true -DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=license
where:
Argument Description
-f <responseFileName> Optional argument that includes the absolute path and file name of the
response file. If you omit this argument, the installer defaults to
installer.properties or other .properties file in the same
installation directory.
-i silent Required switch that starts the silent installer.
-DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true Required argument that indicates you accept Sybase end-user license
agreement.

-DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=li Required argument to install a licensed version of the software. Not re
cense quired for evaluation version.
- DUNINSTALL_DELETE_DATA_FILES=true Optional argument that deletes unnecessary files after installation.
Results
If the response file references an unserved license that cannot be found, the silent installation fails with an
error message.
If the response file references a SySAM license server that is not running, the installation completes, but the
SAP IQ server is configured to use an evaluation license. Start the license server, then stop and restart the SAP
IQ server to apply the served license.

7.6 Reviewing Server Installation Logs
The installer writes a general log to the $SYBASE directory that records all installation activity and individual
logs for each installed component. If an installation problem occurs, start with the IQ_Suite.log, then refer
to the component log for specific details.
The installer also creates a set of corresponding .out files for each component .log file. These files capture
different component installation activities. If the installer runs normally, these files may remain empty.
All installation log files are found in the log directory within the SAP IQ parent installation directory.
Note
Do not confuse this log directory with the logfiles directory in the $IQDIR16 directory, which contains SAP IQ
log files not related to installation.

8 Installing SAP IQ Client Software
SAP IQ client installation media supports GUI, console, and unattended (silent) installs. You can use the
installation media to install a new SAP IQ client and selected components or to add additional components to
an existing installation.
In this section:
Running the Client and Server On the Same System [page 68]
Your SAP IQ server can connect to a remote SAP IQ server. In this scenario, the SAP IQ server
becomes a client of the remote SAP IQ server, and requires an SAP IQ client.
Installing a Client in GUI Mode [page 68]

Use this option to set up your client software in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment. The GUI
installer is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.
Installing a Client in Console Mode [page 69]

Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-windowing interface or for developing custom
installation scripts. Installing the client in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that
you run the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.
Installing a Client in Unattended (Silent) Mode [page 72]

Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the
absence of the GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a client
installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.

Finding Client Utilities and Files [page 75]

Reviewing Client Installation Logs [page 77]

The installer writes a general log to the $SYBASE directory that records all installation activity and
individual logs for each installed component. If an installation problem occurs, start with the
IQ_Suite.log, then refer to the component log for specific details.
Configuring Client Connectivity [page 77]

SAP IQ supports ODBC and JDBC connectivity.

8.1 Running the Client and Server On the Same System
Your SAP IQ server can connect to a remote SAP IQ server. In this scenario, the SAP IQ server becomes a
client of the remote SAP IQ server, and requires an SAP IQ client.
SAP IQ uses a shared memory segment and several semaphores for communication between the client and
server on the same machine. Shared memory is the default communications mechanism when the client and
server are on the same system. Shared memory is configured automatically, and starts automatically.
8.2 Installing a Client in GUI Mode
Use this option to set up your client software in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment. The GUI installer
is wizard-driven and supports all product editions and installation types.
Prerequisites

Procedure

For new installations, you must specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory
leftover from a previous installation.
behavior.
The GUI installer warns you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent install directory or path
has changed since the last installation on the machine and you are about to replace the existing
environment variables.

8.3 Installing a Client in Console Mode
Choose a command-line installation if you prefer a non-windowing interface or for developing custom
installation scripts. Installing the client in console mode is similar to installing in GUI mode, except that you run
the installer from the command line, and enter text to select the installation options.
Prerequisites


Context
Note
● If you are installing the SAP IQ client on a machine with SAP IQ server already installed, you must
perform the installation using the SAP IQ server installer, not the SAP IQ client installer. See Installing
SAP IQ Server Software [page 54].
● At any time, from within the console installer, to return to the previous prompt, type back.
Procedure

For new installations, you must specify a new parent install directory. Do not install to an SAP IQ directory
leftover from a previous installation.
behavior.
The console installer does not warns you if you try to install to an invalid path or if the parent install
directory or path has changed since the last installation on the machine and you are about to replace the
existing environment variables.
4. Do one of:

For Action
New Installations Select Typical to install all default components. Select

Custom to select and deselect individual components to
install.
For "Custom" installations, type the number of the feature

to be selected or deselected. The number acts as a switch
to the current setting of a feature, though the display
does not update.
For example, to install the client only without drivers, type

1,2. 1 deselects SAP IQ and all its children. 2 then rese
lects the IQ client only.
Note
Specifying a parent product automatically applies the
switch to any child components associated with that
feature. For example, typing 1 is equivalent to typing
2,3,4. However, if you typed 1,2,4, the 1 would deselect
SAP IQ and all its children, then 2,3,4 would reselect
each specified child feature. The net result would be
that all children within SAP IQ would be installed.
Adding components to an existing installation Select Custom and select only the additional components
to install. Deselecting components already installed does
not uninstall them, but can significantly speed up the in
stallation process by not reinstalling existing features
along with new features. To remove installed feature, see
Uninstalling SAP IQ [page 126].

6. Review the installation summary and make adjustments as needed. Ensure that expected features are
being installed.

8.4 Installing a Client in Unattended (Silent) Mode
Unattended or silent installations are typically used to update multiple systems. Except for the absence of the
GUI screens, all actions of InstallAnywhere are the same, and the result of a client installation in silent mode is
exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
In this section:
Creating a Client Response File [page 72]

You create a response file by recording your responses while running a client installation. You can
create the file using either GUI or console mode.
Installing a Client Using a Response File [page 73]

The system uses the responses in the file to perform the client installation.
8.4.1 Creating a Client Response File
You create a response file by recording your responses while running a client installation. You can create the
file using either GUI or console mode.
Prerequisites

Context
The response file is not created until the current installation completes. Your responses to screen prompts,
not your actual keystrokes, are recorded in the file. Give careful thought to your responses as they will be used
in every installation using the response file.
Procedure

Mode Syntax
GUI ./setup.bin -r <responseFileName>
Console ./setup.bin -i console -r <responseFileName>
where <responseFileName> includes the absolute path and file name of the response file. If no path is
specified, the file is created in the current folder.
Note
Though optional, it is recommended that you add the file extension .properties to any custom
response file you create to help identify it.
3. Respond to the screen prompts as you would for an attended installation.

Results
The response file is created when the installation completes.
Related Information

8.4.2 Installing a Client Using a Response File
The system uses the responses in the file to perform the client installation.
Prerequisites


Context
You can use the default response file, installer.properties or a custom response file. You can edit any
response file, but be careful. If you edit the information in the file and it becomes invalid, the silent installation
might fail. To override the default installation options, use the -f argument to point to a custom response file.
The cursor disappears when the silent installation begins and reappears once complete. Press Ctrl + c at
any time to cancel a silent installation.
Procedure
setup.bin –f <responseFileName> -i silent

-DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true -DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=license
where:
-f <responseFileName> Optional argument that includes the absolute path and file name of the
response file. If you omit this argument, the installer defaults to
installer.properties or other .properties file in the same
installation directory.
-i silent Required switch that starts the silent installer.
-DAGREE_TO_SAP_LICENSE=true Required argument that indicates you accept Sybase end-user license
agreement.
-DSYBASE_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=li Required argument to install a licensed version of the software. Not re
cense quired for evaluation version.
- DUNINSTALL_DELETE_DATA_FILES=true Optional argument that deletes unnecessary files after installation.

8.5 Client Environment Variables
Note
You don't need to set client environment variables if the server and client are installed on the same host.
To set the environment variables, change to the SAP IQ parent installation directory and execute one of the
following:
● For the tcsh or C (csh) shell, enter:
source ./IQ.csh
● For the Korn (ksh), Bash, or Bourne (sh) shells, enter:
source ./IQ.sh
Tip
To automatically set the environment variables upon logon, consider adding the file to the /etc/
profile.d.

8.8 Configuring Client Connectivity
SAP IQ supports ODBC and JDBC connectivity.
In this section:
Connecting Using ODBC [page 78]

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard API that allows a single application to access a
variety of data sources through ODBC–compliant drivers.
Connecting Using JDBC [page 82]

JDBC and jConnect provide access to SAP IQ for Java-based applications.
Connecting Using OLE DB [page 82]

SAP IQ includes an OLE DB provider as an alternative to ODBC. OLE DB is a data access model from
Microsoft that uses the Component Object Model (COM) interfaces. Unlike ODBC, OLE DB does not

assume that the data source uses a SQL query processor. Although OLE DB requires a Windows client,
you can use OLE DB to access Windows and UNIX servers.
Connecting Using Open Client [page 83]

Clients require a server object in the interfaces file to access server properties and methods. Use the
SAP IQ Directory Services Editor (dsedit) to create the interfaces file entries. These instructions
apply to sever installations only.
Network Issues for SAP IQ Servers [page 83]

Properly configured UNIX servers run under the TCP/IP protocol, which enables non–UNIX clients to
communicate with the server.
Connecting Across a Firewall [page 84]

Set the CommLinks connection parameters in your application's connection string to connect across a
firewall.
8.8.1 Connecting Using ODBC
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard API that allows a single application to access a variety of
data sources through ODBC–compliant drivers.
In this section:
ODBC Conformance [page 78]

ODBC drivers manufactured by different vendors may vary widely in the functions they provide. SAP
IQ supports ODBC 3.5.2.
Installing ODBC Drivers [page 79]

Server and client installations include ODBC drivers. Platform-specific drivers are available from the
SAP Product Download Center and SAP Service Marketplace.
Using UNIX or Linux–Based Query Tools Through ODBC [page 80]

There are several ways to use ODBC to connect to UNIX or Linux-based query tools.
Managing ODBC Data Sources [page 80]

On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in a system information file. Although
this file is named .odbc.ini by default, it can have any name.
Command Line Connections to 32-bit Applications [page 82]

Use dbisql to connect to 32-bit applications from the command line.
8.8.1.1 ODBC Conformance
ODBC drivers manufactured by different vendors may vary widely in the functions they provide. SAP IQ
supports ODBC 3.5.2.
Conformance Level SAP IQ Support
Core conformance All core features.

Conformance Level SAP IQ Support
Level 1 conformance All level 1 features, except for asynchronous execution of ODBC functions.
SAP IQ does support multiple threads sharing a single connection. The re
quests from the different threads are serialized by SAP IQ.
Level 2 conformance All level 2 features, except:
● Three-part names of tables and views. This is not applicable for SAP IQ.
● Asynchronous execution of ODBC functions for specified individual state
ments.
● Ability to time out login requests and queries.
Note
● Although you can use new ODBC 3.5.x features such as descriptors in your ODBC applications, ODBC
2.x applications will continue to work with SAP IQ.
● For more information about ODBC, see the ODBC Programmer's Reference, available from Microsoft
Corporation as part of the ODBC software development kit, or from the Microsoft Web site at: http://
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms714177(v=vs.85).aspx .
8.8.1.2 Installing ODBC Drivers
Server and client installations include ODBC drivers. Platform-specific drivers are available from the SAP
Product Download Center and SAP Service Marketplace.
Application Linking
If you use an ODBC application that uses libodbc.so (libodbc.so.1) or libodbcinst.so

(libodbcinst.so.1), you can create symbolic links that point to $IQDIR16/lib64/libdbodbc16.so.1
for single-threaded or $IQDIR16/lib64/libdbodbc16_r.so.1 for multi-threaded applications.
If you are creating an ODBC application, you can link directly to libdbodbc16.so for non–threaded
applications and libdbodbc16_r.so for threaded applications. References to ODBC functions are resolved
at run-time.
32-bit and 64-bit Drivers
UNIX 64-bit applications, including many third-party tools, can use 64-bit ODBC drivers to connect to 64-bit
SAP IQ servers. 32-bit applications can use 32-bit ODBC drivers to connect to 64-bit IQ servers. (32-bit
applications cannot use 64-bit ODBC drivers to connect to 64-bit IQ servers.)

The SAP IQ Client software supplied with all platforms contains an ODBC driver for connecting from Windows-
based ODBC applications. To connect via ODBC from 32-bit UNIX client applications, download and install the
32-bit ODBC driver kit. Check the EBF/Update information for the appropriate driver.
8.8.1.3 Using UNIX or Linux–Based Query Tools Through

ODBC
There are several ways to use ODBC to connect to UNIX or Linux-based query tools.
Tools that do not require extensive driver manager services can use symbolic links to connect directly to the
driver. Tools that require a driver manager may ship with a driver manager.
For information and recommendations about compatible driver managers available for specific applications,
see the documentation for the application.
On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in .odbc.ini. Use a text editor to update this
file manually, or use the cross–platform iqdsn utility to create an ODBC data source.
You can use files as data sources instead of databases. File data sources are stored as files with the
extension .dsn.
8.8.1.4 Managing ODBC Data Sources
On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in a system information file. Although this file
is named .odbc.ini by default, it can have any name.
A system information file can include any connection parameter. This sample DSN connects to the demo
database:
[My Data Source]

Userid=DBA
Password=<password>
EngineName=test_server
CommLinks=tcpip(port=1870)
AutoStop=no
DatabaseName=iqdemo
DatabaseFile=iqdemo.db
System Information File Location
SAP IQ searches the following locations, in order, for the system information file:
1. The <$ODBCINI> environment variable

2. The <$HOME> environment variable
3. The user's Home directory
4. The <$PATH> environment variable

Note
SAP IQ clients ignore these environment variables when searching for the system information file:
● <$ODBC_HOME>
● <$ODBC_INI>
Connecting with a Data Source Entry
To use a data source entry to connect to your database, open a terminal, and use dbisql with the data source
entry name in a connection string. For example:
% dbisql –c "dsn=sample_dsn"
Note
Any database started from a connection string is, by default, stopped when there are no more connections
to it, and any database that is loaded from a connection string is unloaded as soon as there are no more
connections to it when the Autostop connection parameter is set to yes.
Connecting without a Data Source Entry
To connect without using .odbc.ini, open a terminal, and use dbisql all connection parameters. For
example:
% dbisql –c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;AutoStop=no;
ENG=<engine name>;DBF=$IQDIR16/demo/iqdemo.db"
This example is shown on multiple lines, however, you must enter the entire command at the command
prompt on one line.
Additional Information
See iqdsn Database Administration Utility in the SAP IQ Utility Guide.

8.8.1.5 Command Line Connections to 32-bit Applications
Use dbisql to connect to 32-bit applications from the command line.
To connect to a 32-bit application without using a data source, use dbisql to connect from the command line.
To connect to the iqdemo.db you would use a command similar to this:
dbisql -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;AUTOSTOP=no;
ENG=<engine_name>;DBF=$SYBASE/IQ-16_1/demo/iqdemo.db"
8.8.2 Connecting Using JDBC
JDBC and jConnect provide access to SAP IQ for Java-based applications.
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a Java application programming interface (API) that provides
programmatic access to SAP IQ. jConnect is an SAP utility that provides high-performance native access to all
SAP products as a standard installation option.
Interactive SQL (dbisql) can use either JDBC or ODBC connectivity.
The iAnywhere JDBC driver is the default driver for Interactive SQL.
Note
The iAnywhere JDBC driver is deprecated.
8.8.3 Connecting Using OLE DB
SAP IQ includes an OLE DB provider as an alternative to ODBC. OLE DB is a data access model from Microsoft
that uses the Component Object Model (COM) interfaces. Unlike ODBC, OLE DB does not assume that the
data source uses a SQL query processor. Although OLE DB requires a Windows client, you can use OLE DB to
access Windows and UNIX servers.
SAP IQ supports Dynamic (dynamic scroll), Static (insensitive) and Forward only (no–scroll) cursors, but does
not support Keyset (scroll) cursors. In SAP IQ the isolation level is always 3, no matter what you specify.
SAP IQ does not support Windows CE or remote updates through a cursor.
See OLE DB Connection Parameters in SAP IQ Programming.

8.8.4 Connecting Using Open Client
Clients require a server object in the interfaces file to access server properties and methods. Use the SAP IQ
Directory Services Editor (dsedit) to create the interfaces file entries. These instructions apply to sever
installations only.
Prerequisites
● You must be the owner of the SAP IQ home directory ($SYBASE) to run dsedit
● Make a copy of the interfaces file before you make any changes
Procedure
1. From a terminal, change to $SYBASE/OCS-16_0/bin

2. Start dsedit.
3. On the Select a Directory Service dialog, the interfaces file or driver (default) or select a directory service
to open, and then click OK.
4. From the Directory Service Session dialog, choose Add new server entry.
5. On the Server Entry Editor dialog, enter the SAP IQ server name, then click the Add new network
transport.
6. On the Network Transport Editor dialog, enter the host name and port number of the SAP IQ server and
then click OK.
7. On the Server Entry Editor dialog, click OK.
8. On the Directory Service Session dialog, click Close session.
9. On the Select a Directory Service dialog, click Exit
10. On the dsedit question dialog, click Yes to confirm exit.
8.8.5 Network Issues for SAP IQ Servers
Properly configured UNIX servers run under the TCP/IP protocol, which enables non–UNIX clients to
communicate with the server.
Verified TCP/IP Protocol Stacks
For SAP IQ to run properly, the protocol stack on the client and server computers must be compatible at each
layer. Many vendors supply TCP/IP protocol stacks and associated software. SAP IQ communications have
been explicitly verified with these TCP/IP implementations:

● TCP/IP For NetWare
● Microsoft Winsock version 2.0
User Datagram Protocol
There are several entries into the TCP/IP protocol stack. SAP IQ employs the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
While it is called a transport protocol here and elsewhere, UDP provides little more than a user interface to the
network layer IP. In particular, UDP is not a guaranteed transmission protocol.
Tuning Performance Under TCP/IP
Although the default packet size for TCP/IP is 1460 bytes, a larger packet size may improve query response
time, especially for queries that transfer a large amount of data between a client and a server process. You can
set the maximum packet size using the database server command lines or CommBufferSize (CBSIZE) in the
client connection string. This option may be used with the start_iq command.
8.8.6 Connecting Across a Firewall
Set the CommLinks connection parameters in your application's connection string to connect across a
firewall.
There are restrictions on connections when the client application is on one side of a firewall and the server is
on the other. Firewall software filters network packets according to network port. Also, it is common to
disallow UDP packets from crossing the firewall.
● Set the ClientPort parameter to a range of allowed values for the client application to use. You can then
configure your firewall to allow these packets across. You can use the short form CPort.
● Set the HOST parameter to the host name on which the database server is running. You can use the short
form IP.
● Specify the port your database server is using in the ServerPort parameter if it is not using the default
port of 2638. You can use the short form Port.
● Set the DoBroadcast=NONE parameter to prevent UDP from being used when connecting to the server.
In this example, the connection string fragment:
● Restricts the client application to ports 5050 through 5060

● Connects to a server named myeng running on the machine at address myhost using the server port 2020
No UDP broadcast is carried out because of the DoBroadcast option.
CEng=myeng;Links=tcpip(ClientPort=5050–
5060;Host=myhost;Port=2020;DoBroadcast=NONE)

See Connection and Communication Parameters in SAP IQ Administration: Database.

9 Postinstallation Tasks
Once your server and client software is installed, the postinstallation tasks help you verify if it is correctly
configured, licensed, and running.
In this section:
(Optional) The Demo Database [page 87]

The SAP IQ demo database (iqdemo.db) is a database that contains sample data about a fictional
company that sells athletic clothing.
(Optional) The SAP IQ Utility Server [page 89]

The utility server is a phantom database with no physical representation. It has no database file, and
therefore it cannot contain data.
Setting Up your Environment [page 90]

These topics describe the installation and operating system settings used by SAP IQ.
Licensing After Installation [page 103]

All product editions except the Evaluation Edition require a license. Optional features are sold and

Use the start_iq startup utility to start your server. start_iq is a command line utility that runs on
all platforms and ensures that all required parameters are set correctly.
Stopping an SAP IQ Server [page 109]

SERVER OPERATOR system privilege is the default permission level required to stop a server, but you
can use the -gk startup option to change the default to ALL or NONE. Setting the permission level to
ALL lets all users stop the server; setting the permission level to NONE means that no one can stop the
server. In a production environment, only the Server Operator should be allowed to stop the database
server.
Start and Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit Agent [page 110]

SAP IQ Cockpit is a Web-based tool for managing and monitoring SAP IQ servers. The SAP IQ Cockpit
agent must be running to log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit. Run the cockpit command to start SAP IQ
Cockpit agent.
Stopping the SAP IQ Cockpit Agent [page 111]

Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit agent. Once stopped, you can no longer use the SAP IQ Cockpit.

86 PUBLIC Postinstallation Tasks
Verify SAP IQ Server Is Licensed [page 114]
After you license an SAP IQ sever, verify that the license was accepted.
9.1 (Optional) The Demo Database
The SAP IQ demo database (iqdemo.db) is a database that contains sample data about a fictional company
that sells athletic clothing.
Many of the examples throughout the documentation use the demo database as a data source. It is installed
as part of the SAP IQ Server installation and resides on the server. You can also use the demo database to test
your installation.
For a new SAP IQ installation, to successfully log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit requires that at least one server be
running. Without access to the SAP IQ Cockpit, you cannot use the Create Database wizard to create your
initial server. The SAP IQ demo database can be used as the initial server.
Use of the demo database is optional and has no performance impact.
Note
The demo database is not designed to be used as a production database.
In this section:
Creating the Demo Database [page 87]

Use the SAP IQ script to create the demo database.
Starting and Stopping the Demo Database [page 88]

You can start and stop the demo database as needed.
Removing the Demo Database [page 89]

Once you have created a production database on the SAP IQ server, you may choose to remove the
demo database. Removal is optional and has no performance impact on your production system if not
removed.

3. To stop the demo database, execute:
stop_iq -stop
9.1.3 Removing the Demo Database
Once you have created a production database on the SAP IQ server, you may choose to remove the demo
database. Removal is optional and has no performance impact on your production system if not removed.
In the $IQDIR16/demo directory, delete all file beginning with iqdemo. Also delete the demodata folder.
9.2 (Optional) The SAP IQ Utility Server
The utility server is a phantom database with no physical representation. It has no database file, and therefore
it cannot contain data.
For a new SAP IQ installation, to successfully log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit requires that at least one server be
running. Without access to the SAP IQ Cockpit, you cannot use the Create Database wizard to create your
initial server. The SAP IQ utility server can be used as the initial server.
The utility server has no default password. It uses a temporary password, which you define during startup. The
password is valid only for the duration the utility server is running. A new password must be defined each time
the utility server is started.
When logged in to the utility server in the SAP IQ Cockpit console, you can use the Create Database wizard to
your first database.
In this section:
Starting the SAP IQ Utility Server [page 89]

The SAP IQ utility server must be running before you can use it to log in to the SAP IQ Cockpit console
and should be stopped immediately after creating the initial SAP IQ server.
9.2.1 Starting the SAP IQ Utility Server
The SAP IQ utility server must be running before you can use it to log in to the SAP IQ Cockpit console and
should be stopped immediately after creating the initial SAP IQ server.
Prerequisites

Procedure
1. From a console, change to the $SYBASE/IQ-16_1/bin64 directory.:
$SYBASE/IQ-16_1/bin64/cockpitutildb.sh
2. Specify a temporary password for the utility server.
9.3 Setting Up your Environment
These topics describe the installation and operating system settings used by SAP IQ.
Depending on the operating system, these settings may be stored as environment variables, initialization file
entries, or registry entries.
In this section:
Installation Directory Structure [page 90]

When you install SAP IQ, several directories may be created. This section describes the directory
structure.
How SAP IQ Locates Files [page 91]

To start and run, SAP IQ must find and access several types of files. Several directories or files with
identical names may reside on a system.
Environment Variables [page 93]

SAP IQ uses environment variables to store various types of information. Environment variables can be
modified, if needed, and not all variables need to be set in all circumstances.
9.3.1 Installation Directory Structure
When you install SAP IQ, several directories may be created. This section describes the directory structure.
The directories created depend on which options you choose during installation and which directories already
exist in your SAP IQ directory (the parent directory defined by $SYBASE).
By default, SAP IQ software is installed in a unique subdirectory under the SAP IQ parent directory. This
subdirectory is called the installation directory. Other tools provided with SAP IQ have unique subdirectories
under the SAP IQ parent directory. This section describes only the subdirectory structure for SAP IQ.
By default, the SAP IQ installation directory is IQ-16_1. The location of IQ-16_1 varies, depending on where
you install SAP IQ. The IQ-16_1 directory is also referred to by the environment variable $IQDIR16.

The SAP IQ installation directory holds a number of directories and files:
Demo directory ($SYBASE/IQ-16_1/demo) Holds the tools required to build the iqdemo database. The
iqdemo database files are iqdemo.db, iqdemo.iq, iqdemo.iqmsg, and iqdemo.iqtmp. Use ./
mkiqdemo.sh to create the iqdemo database. The iqdemo database can be used to demonstrate
problems to Technical Support.
Demo data subdirectory ($SYBASE/IQ-16_1/demo/adata) Holds data to allow the creation of the
iqdemo database. .
Scripts directory ($SYBASE/IQ-16_1/scripts) Holds some scripts used in examples and when creating
catalog objects like stored procedures. Do not edit these scripts. If you edit, delete, or move these scripts,
the server will not operate properly.
Samples directories ($SYBASE/IQ-16_1/samples) The samples directory contains SQL samples and
user-defined function (UDF) samples. The $SYBASE/IQ-16_1/samples/sqlanywhere directory
contains directories of SQL samples. The sqlanywhere/c directory holds C++ examples that illustrate
using ESQL (embedded SQL) and C with SAP SQL Anywhere. Because SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ
share common code, you can modify these examples for use with SAP IQ. The /samples/udf directory
holds sample C++ scalar and aggregate UDFs.
Additional directories Additional directories hold executables, libraries, help files, and so on.
Subdirectories within IQ-16_1 containing these files include /bin64, /lib64, /logfiles, /res, and /
tix.
9.3.2 How SAP IQ Locates Files
To start and run, SAP IQ must find and access several types of files. Several directories or files with identical
names may reside on a system.
Understanding how SAP IQ finds these files is important to ensure that you use the correct files. The types of
files include but are not limited to:
Libraries Might include product libraries or system libraries. File name extensions include.so.nnn or .so.
These files are required to run SAP IQ. If an incorrect DLL is found, a version mismatch error may occur.
For example, library files might be found in $IQDIR16/lib64 or $SYBASE/OCS-16_0/lib3p64. An
empty directory, $IQDIR16/usrlib, lets you supersede default libraries with custom libraries and
patches, because start_iq includes usrlib before regular library directories. SAP IQ uses both SAP
Adaptive Server Enterprise (SAP ASE) and SAP SQL Anywhere libraries. If either of these products have
already been installed on your system, note the directory where they are installed to avoid confusion.
Interface files Required to run SAP IQ.
Configuration files Used to specify connection parameters. Examples include iqdemo.cfg.
Database files Store the data and metadata. For example: iqdemo.db, iqdemo.iq, iqdemo.iqmsg,
iqdemo.iqtmp.
Log files Store information about the current session on the server and connected database. For example,
a server log might be named $SYBASE/IQ-16_1/logfiles/yourservername.0006.srvlog. The
database log (for example, $SYBASE/IQ-16_1\demo\iqdemo.log) is created when you connect to the
database. For more information about these files, see SAP IQ Administration: Database and SAP IQ Utility
Guide.
Product scripts Are sample files that show how to create, populate, and upgrade databases.

User files Include flat files used with the LOAD command and SQL scripts used with tools such as
Interactive SQL.
Temporary files Created by to store temporary information for operations like performing sorts for
queries.
Some file names are specified in SQL statements and must be located at runtime. Examples of SQL
statements that use file names include the following:
INSTALL statement the name of the file that holds Java classes.
LOAD TABLE statement The name of the file from which data should be loaded.
CREATE DATABASE statement A file name is needed for this statement and similar statements that can
create files.
In some cases, SAP IQ uses a simple algorithm to locate files. In other cases, a more extensive search is
carried out.
In this section:
Simple File Searching [page 92]

In many SQL statements such as LOAD TABLE or CREATE DATABASE, the file name is interpreted as
relative to the current working directory of the database server; that is, where the server was started.
Extensive File Searching [page 92]

SAP IQ programs, including the database server and administration utilities, carry out extensive
searches for required files, such as DLLs or shared libraries.
9.3.2.1 Simple File Searching
In many SQL statements such as LOAD TABLE or CREATE DATABASE, the file name is interpreted as relative
to the current working directory of the database server; that is, where the server was started.
Also, when a database server is started and a database file name (DBF parameter) is supplied, the path is
interpreted as relative to the directory in which the server was started.
9.3.2.2 Extensive File Searching
SAP IQ programs, including the database server and administration utilities, carry out extensive searches for
required files, such as DLLs or shared libraries.
In these cases, SAP IQ programs look for files in the following order:
The executable directory the directory in which the program executable is held. Also, directories with the
following paths relative to the program executable directory:
● Parent of the executable directory.

● A child of the parent directory named scripts.
Current working directory when a program is started, it has a current working directory (the directory
from which it is started). This directory is searched for required files.

Location registry entry on a Windows installation, SAP IQ adds a LOCATION registry entry. The indicated
directory is searched, followed by the following:
● A child named scripts

● A child with the operating system name (bin32, bin, and so on)
System-specific directories this includes directories where common operating system files are held,
such as the Windows directory and the Windows\system directory on Windows.
CLASSPATH directories for Java files, directories listed in the CLASSPATH environment variable are
searched to locate files.
PATH directories directories in the system path and the user’s path are searched to locate files.
LIBRARY PATH directories directories listed in the LIBPATH environment variable are searched for
shared libraries.
9.3.3 Environment Variables

SAP IQ uses environment variables to store various types of information. Environment variables can be
modified, if needed, and not all variables need to be set in all circumstances.
Environment variables are set by running a shell script after installation.
In this section:
Modifying Environment Variables on UNIX [page 94]

On UNIX platforms, running environment source files sets the required environment variables.
However, if you must set optional variables or change defaults, use this procedure.
Running UNIX Environment Source Files [page 95]

Environment source files set the required environment variables on UNIX.
COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME Environment Variable [page 95]

This variable specifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment used by SAP IQ Cockpit.
IQCHARSET Environment Variable [page 96]

IQCHARSET sets the default character set.
IQDIR16 Environment Variable [page 96]

IQDIR16 identifies the location of the SAP IQ directory and is the location for other directories and files
under that directory.
IQLANG Environment Variable [page 97]

IQLANG sets the default language.
IQLOGDIR16 Environment Variable [page 98]

The IQLOGDIR16 environment variable defines the location of various log files. IQLOGDIR16 is not set
by the installation program.
IQTMP16 Environment Variable [page 99]

The IQTMP16 environment variable is not set by the installation program. IQTMP16 is used by SAP IQ
to indicate a directory where temporary files are kept.
JAVA_HOME Environment Variable [page 100]

Defines JRE home, which points to directory containing bin/java.
LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH Environment Variable [page 100]

LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH specifies the directories where SAP IQ shared libraries are located.
PATH Environment Variable [page 101]

PATH is an operating system required variable that includes the directories where SAP IQ executables
are located.
SQLCONNECT Environment Variable [page 101]

SQLCONNECT specifies connection parameters that are used by several of the database administration
utilities, such as Interactive SQL, dbinfo, and dbstop, when connecting to a database server.
SYBASE Environment Variable [page 102]

SYBASE identifies the location of SAP database applications, such as SAP Open Server.
SAP_JRE8_64, SAP_JRE8_32 Environment Variables [page 102]

9.3.3.1 Modifying Environment Variables on UNIX
On UNIX platforms, running environment source files sets the required environment variables. However, if you
must set optional variables or change defaults, use this procedure.
Procedure
1. To check the setting for an environment variable, use:
echo $<variable-name>
For example, to see the setting for the $SYBASE variable, type:
echo $SYBASE
Which returns:
/<parent install directory>/IQ-16_1
2. In one of your startup files (.cshrc, .shrc, or .login), add a line that sets the variable.
In some shells (such as sh, bash, ksh) the line is:
<VARIABLE>=<value>;export <VARIABLE>
In other shells (such as csh, tsch) the line is:
setenv <VARIABLE> "<value>"

9.3.3.2 Running UNIX Environment Source Files
Environment source files set the required environment variables on UNIX.
Context
Issue the following command to set all required environment variables.
Procedure
Change to the SAP IQ parent installation directory and execute one of the following:
○ For the tcsh or C (csh) shell, enter:
source ./IQ.csh
○ For the Korn (ksh), Bash, or Bourne (sh) shells, enter:
source ./IQ.sh
9.3.3.3 COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME Environment Variable
If not set, SAP IQ Cockpit startup checks for the location of the Java VM in the SAP_JRE8 environment
variables.
Settings
COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME = $SYBASE/IQ-16_1/shared/SAPJRE<version>
Operating System
Required.

9.3.3.4 IQCHARSET Environment Variable
IQCHARSET sets the default character set.
<Charset> is a character set name. For example, setting IQCHARSET=cp1252 sets the default character set
to cp1252.
The first of the following values set determines the default character set.
● IQCHARSET environment variable

● Query the operating system
If no character set information is specified, use iso_1 for UNIX.
Setting
IQCHARSET=<charset>
9.3.3.5 IQDIR16 Environment Variable
IQDIR16 identifies the location of the SAP IQ directory and is the location for other directories and files under
that directory.
● $IQDIR16/bin[64]/logfiles is the default location for the server log and backup and restore log (the
backup history file). You can override this default by setting the IQLOGDIR16 environment variable.
● $IQDIR16/demo is the location for the iqdemo database files.
Setting
IQDIR16 = $SYBASE/IQ-16_1
Operating System
(Required) Set by the environment source file or the installation program. This default setting can be changed
on Windows.

9.3.3.6 IQLANG Environment Variable
IQLANG sets the default language.
<Language_code> is the two-letter combination representing a language. For example, setting IQLANG=DE
sets the default language to German.
The first of the following values set determines the default language.
● IQLANG environment variable

● Query the operating system
If no language information is set, English is the default.
Setting
IQLANG=<language_code>
Operating System
Optional but recommended in non-English environments.
In this section:
List of Language Label Values [page 97]

Valid language label values and their equivalent ISO 639 language codes. Set the two-letter ISO_639
language code in the IQ_LANG environment variable.
9.3.3.6.1 List of Language Label Values

9.3.3.7 IQLOGDIR16 Environment Variable
The IQLOGDIR16 environment variable defines the location of various log files. IQLOGDIR16 is not set by the
installation program.
● The server log is in the file servername.nnnn.srvlog (where nnnn is the number of times the server has
been started) in the directory specified by IQLOGDIR16.
If IQLOGDIR16 is not set to a valid, write-enabled directory, then most utilities, including start_iq, use the
default location $IQDIR16/logfiles for all server logs.
Setting
IQLOGDIR16 = <path>

Operating System
Optional.
9.3.3.8 IQTMP16 Environment Variable

The IQTMP16 environment variable is not set by the installation program. IQTMP16 is used by SAP IQ to
indicate a directory where temporary files are kept.
The IQTMP16 environment variable should point to a local directory for those using NFS (network file system),
which permits the IQTMP16 directory to purge directories and files that are no longer needed as client
connections are closed. Each client connection creates several directories and files in a temporary directory.
These are needed only for the duration of the connection. The directory must have write permissions for all
users who connect to the server.
Note
The temporary files whose location is defined by IQTMP16 are files used by the client and server. This
variable does not control the default location of your IQ temporary store. The CREATE DATABASE
statement controls the default location of your IQ temporary store.
Caution
Do not set IQTMP16 to $SYBASE or $IQDIR16.
If you do not explicitly set IQTMP16, IQTMP16 is set to a subdirectory in the tmp directory.
If more than one database server is running on a machine, each server and associated local client needs a
separate temporary directory to avoid conflicts. When you do not specify a port or engine number for
connection, SAP IQ uses shared memory connectivity instead of network connectivity.
To avoid conflicts when using shared memory:
● Create a temporary directory dedicated to each server. Make sure that each local client uses the same
temporary directory as its server by setting the IQTMP16 environment variable explicitly in both
environments.
● Create a data source name in the .odbc.ini file (on UNIX) for each server and provide detailed
connection information.
● Use connection strings that specify explicit parameters instead of relying on defaults.
● Confirm connections by issuing:
SELECT "database name is" = db_name(), "servername_is" = @@servername
Setting
IQTMP16 = <temp_directory>

Operating System
Optional on UNIX. Not used on Windows platforms.
9.3.3.9 JAVA_HOME Environment Variable
Defines JRE home, which points to directory containing bin/java.
Used if the location of the Java VM is not set in the SAP_JRE8 environment variables.
JAVA_HOME is commonly created when installing a VM.
On UNIX, run the SYBASE.csh (C shell) or SYBASE.sh (Bourne or Korn shell) environment source file to find
and start the correct JRE for the SAP IQ engine. The Java VM location specified in JAVA_HOME takes
precedence over the location returned by SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh. If neither JAVA_HOME nor the
SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh scripts locate the Java VM, SAP IQ will not load a Java VM.
Settings
JAVA_HOME = $SYBASE/shared/JRE<version>
Operating System
Required.
9.3.3.10 LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH Environment

Variable
LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH specifies the directories where SAP IQ shared libraries are located.
Set the library path variable by running the environment source file.
Settings
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <installation_path/lib>

Operating System
Required. Variable name is platform dependent. UNIX only.
9.3.3.11 PATH Environment Variable
PATH is an operating system required variable that includes the directories where SAP IQ executables are
located.
On UNIX, run the environment source file to include the necessary directories.
Setting
PATH = <installation_path>
Operating System
Required.
9.3.3.12 SQLCONNECT Environment Variable
SQLCONNECT specifies connection parameters that are used by several of the database administration utilities,
such as Interactive SQL, dbinfo, and dbstop, when connecting to a database server.
The SQLCONNECT environment variable is optional, and is not set by the installation program.
This string is a list of parameter settings, of the form parameter=<value>, delimited by semicolons.
The number sign “#” is an alternative to the equals sign; use it if you are setting the connection parameters
string in the SQLCONNECT environment variable. Using “=” inside an environment variable setting is a syntax
error. The = sign is allowed only in Windows.
Note
Specifying connection parameters in SQLCONNECT rather than on the command line offers greater security
on UNIX systems. It prevents users from being able to display your password with ps -ef. This is
especially useful if you run Interactive SQL or other utilities in quiet mode. Note that specifying connection
parameters in SQLCONNECT rather than on the command line is more secure, but is not entirely secure.
Because the password is in plain text, it is possible for hostile action to extract it from the environment
context. For more information, see Connection and Communication Parameters Reference in SAP IQ
Administration: Database.

Settings
SQLCONNECT = <parameter>#<value> ; ...
Operating System
Optional.
9.3.3.13 SYBASE Environment Variable
SYBASE identifies the location of SAP database applications, such as SAP Open Server.
You must set the SYBASE variable before you can perform many tasks on the SAP IQ server or client.
Setting
SYBASE = <path>
Operating System
Required.
9.3.3.14 SAP_JRE8_64, SAP_JRE8_32 Environment Variables
On startup, SAP IQ Cockpit checks COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME for Java version definition. If COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME
is undefined, SAP IQ Cockpit checks for installed JREs in this order:
● SAP_JRE8_64
● SAP_JRE8
● SAP_JRE8_32
SAP IQ Cockpit then sets COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME to the first value it finds in this list.

Setting
On UNIX, the JRE environment variable is automatically set by sourcing the IQ.sh (Bourne/Korn shell) or
IQ.csh (C shell) file.
To manually set the JRE environment variable:
COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME=$SYBASE/shared/SAPJRE-8_(minor_version)_64BIT
or:
COCKPIT_JAVA_HOME=$SYBASE/shared/SAPJRE-8_(minor_version)_32BIT
9.4 Licensing After Installation
All product editions except the Evaluation Edition require a license. Optional features are sold and licensed
separately.
Whether you install a licensed or evaluation edition, you have 30-day access to all features and options. To use
an option beyond the 30-day evaluation period, you must purchase and apply an appropriate served or
unserved license.
Using an unlicensed option on a licensed server can throw the server into grace mode, which can cause the
server to shutdown when the grace period expires. The DBA or other equivalent user must explicitly authorize
access to an optionally licensed feature. A server will not attempt to check-out an optional license by default.
Unless the DBA grants access to an option, the option will not be available.
In this section:
Verify and Authorize Optional Licensed Components [page 104]

Your license controls the optional components licensed on an SAP IQ server. After applying the
license, use the sp_iqlmconfig to allow or disallow the feature.
Applying an Unserved License [page 105]

You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to an unserved license.
Applying a Served License [page 106]

You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to a served license.

9.4.1 Verify and Authorize Optional Licensed Components
Your license controls the optional components licensed on an SAP IQ server. After applying the license, use
the sp_iqlmconfig to allow or disallow the feature.
To verify your licensed components, connect to the server, start Interactive SQL (dbisql), and run
sp_iqlmconfig without parameters to return a set of properties and values that indicate the state of your
licenses:
Property Value
-----------------------------------------------------
Edition EE

Email Severity NONE
SMTP Host smtp
SMTP Port 25
Email Sender
Email Recipients
Authorizing Optional Features
Run sp_iqlmconfig with the allow or disallow parameter to enable or disable an optional license. The ALL
keyword enables or disables all optional licenses, except IQ_VLDBMGT:
sp_iqlmconfig 'allow', 'ALL' // enable all, except IQ_VLDBMGT

sp_iqlmconfig 'disallow', 'IQ_SECURITY' // disable IQ_SECURITY
Use the IQ_VLDBMGT and <quantity> parameters to change the number of available IQ_VLDBMGT licenses:
sp_iqlmconfig 'allow', 'IQ_VLDBMGT', '8' // increase by 8

sp_iqlmconfig 'disallow', 'IQ_VLDBMGT', '2' // decrease by 2
See the sp_iqlmconfig stored procedure in SAP IQ SQL Reference for information about authorizing
optional features and other issues related to license management configuration.
License Server Issues
All license server status and error messages are written to the SYBASE.log in the log directory. To diagnose
issues with a license server, check the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/log/SYBASE.log file. You can use iqdemo.db
to perform this task.
A line that begins with “Checked out license...” indicates a successful license configuration. If you see a
“Sysam: FLEXnet Licensing error:” message, check with your SAP representative to resolve the issue.

● See Managing the License Server Debug Log and Troubleshooting SySAM Errors in the SySAM Users
Guide.
9.4.2 Applying an Unserved License
You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to an unserved license.
Context
If an unserved license is not applied before the evaluation period ends, the server shuts down and cannot be
started until a valid license is applied. If an unserved license is incorrectly applied during the evaluation period,
the server continues to function in evaluation mode. After application, always verify the unserved license is
being used.
Procedure
1. Stop any running databases.

2. Navigate to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/
3. If it doesn't already exist, create a folder named licenses. The folder name must be exact, both spelling
and case.
4. Copy the unserved license to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses
5. Restart the database.
6. Review the .iqmsg file to verify the server is using an unserved license.
Related Information

9.4.3 Applying a Served License
You can update an SAP IQ server from an evaluation license to a served license.
Prerequisites
The SySAM License Server is running and licensed.
Context
If a served license is not applied before the evaluation period ends, the server shuts down and cannot be
started until a valid license is applied. If a served license is incorrectly applied during the evaluation period, the
server continues to function in evaluation mode. After application, always verify the served license is being
used.
Procedure
1. Stop any running databases.

2. Navigate to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/
3. If it doesn't already exist, create a folder named licenses. The folder name must be exact, both spelling
and case.
4. In the licenses folder, create a text file with the extension .lic. Add the following two lines to the file:
SERVER <license_server_machine_name> ANY

USE_SERVER
5. Restart the database.

6. Review the .iqmsg file to verify the server is using a served license.
If the server is not using the served licenses, make sure the served license is applied to the SySAM license
server. See Apply or Update Licenses on the SySAM License Server [page 50]

9.5 Starting and Running an SAP IQ Server
Use the start_iq startup utility to start your server. start_iq is a command line utility that runs on all
platforms and ensures that all required parameters are set correctly.
Starting a Server or Database
To use start_iq to start a server or database, change to a directory where you have write privileges, and use
this command format:
start_iq [<server-options> ] [ <database-file>

[<database-options>]<, ...>]
A startup command may include several startup parameters.
Parameter Description
<server-options> Server-options include the database server name and other options that control the behavior
of the server, for all databases that are running on that server.
<database-file > The database-file is the file name of the catalog store. You can omit this option, or enter one or
more database file names on the command line.
Each database is loaded and available for applications. If the starting directory contains the
database file, you do not need to specify the path; otherwise, you must specify the path. You
do not need to specify the .db file extension.
<database-options> Database options control certain aspects of each database file you start.
Default Startup Parameters
start_iq uses a default configuration file ($IQDIR16/scripts/default.cfg ) to set the default start-up
parameters.
Parameter Value Description
–c 48 MB Catalog store cache size.
–gc 20 Checkpoint interval.
–gd all Allows all users to start the database by connecting.
–gl all Allows all users to load or unload tables.
–gm 10 Default number of connections.
–gp 4096 Catalog store page size.
–ti 4400 Client timeout set to 72 hours. Prevents users with long queries from being logged off
over a long weekend.

Configuration Files
To override the default start-up parameters, store your options in a configuration file. To start a server with a
configuration file:
start_iq @<configuration_filename>.cfg <dbname>.db
This command starts the database and sets parameters named in the (optional) configuration (.cfg) file.
On the start_iq command line, the last option you specify takes precedence, so to override your
configuration file, list any options you want to change after the configuration file name. For example:
start_iq @iqdemo.cfg –x 'tcpip{port=1870}' iqdemo.db
The –x parameter here overrides connection information in the iqdemo.cfg file.
A configuration file for the demo database (iqdemo.cfg) is installed in the $IQDIR16/demo directory as an
example.
Default Server Directories
The directory where the server is started becomes the default directory for all server files created by SAP IQ. If
you run the start_iq utility from $IQDIR16/bin64, the script changes the directory to “./..” to avoid
creating database files in the /bin directory.
Startup and Server Logs
SAP IQ writes start-up and server logs in the $IQDIR16/logfiles directory:
● Startup information is saved in the servername.nnnn.stderr file.

● Server status is logged in the servername.nnnn.srvlog file.
The <nnnn> variable in the file name indicates the number of times the server has been started. For example,
localhost.0004.srvlog localhost_iqdemo.0006.srvlog.
Note
If SAP SQL Anywhere is installed on the same subnet as SAP IQ, the server must have a unique name. Both
SAP SQL Anywhere and SAP IQ servers default to the port 2638.
Use a new port number for each server. Set each new port number in the $IQDIR16/scripts/
default.cfg file. Change the following line in each IQ database configuration file (for example, $IQDIR16/
demo/iqdemo.cfg) to update the port number:
–x tcpip{port=2638}

See start_iq Server Options in the SAP IQ Utility Guide.
9.6 Stopping an SAP IQ Server
SERVER OPERATOR system privilege is the default permission level required to stop a server, but you can use
the -gk startup option to change the default to ALL or NONE. Setting the permission level to ALL lets all users
stop the server; setting the permission level to NONE means that no one can stop the server. In a production
environment, only the Server Operator should be allowed to stop the database server.
Do not shut down a server while it is still connected to one or more clients. If you try this, you get a warning
that any uncommitted transactions will be lost. Disconnect or close all the clients and try again.
Server Shutdown Commands
Several commands shut down the database server.
Command Description
stop_iq Shuts down a server completely without regard for users, connections or load process sta
tus:
Syntax:
stop_iq [ options ]
dbstop Stops a server or database. Additional options let you stop a server, even if there are active
connections.
Syntax:
dbstop [ options ] server-name
To use dbstop to stop a server, you must specify a server-name, as well as any connec
tion parameters you specified when you started the server.
STOP ENGINE STOP ENGINE is a SQL statement that stops a database server.
Syntax:
STOP ENGINE engine-name [ UNCONDITIONALLY ]
The UNCONDITIONALLY argument stops a database server, even if there are client connec
tions to the server.

Server Shutdown Methods
There are several methods to shut down or stop a server.
To stop the server from.. Do this...
Command line Run the stop_iq or dbstop commands.
Interactive SQL Run the stop engine command to stop a named database server.
Stopping Servers in Cron or At Jobs
To use stop_iq in a cron or at job, specify the full path name to the stop_iq executable and the appropriate
–stop option:
$SYBASE/IQ-16_1/bin64/stop_iq –stop one
Setting –stop one shuts down a single server, when exactly one running server was started by the user ID
that starts the cron or at job. This prevents accidentally shutting down the wrong server if several are
running.
$SYBASE/IQ-16_1/bin64/stop_iq –stop all
Setting –stop all shuts down all servers that were started by the user ID that starts the cron or at job.
● See STOP ENGINE Statement in SAP IQ SQL Reference

● See dbstop Database Shutdown Utility and stop_iq Database Shutdown Utility in the SAP IQ Utility Guide
● See Stopping Servers in SAP IQ Administration: Database
9.7 Start and Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit Agent
SAP IQ Cockpit is a Web-based tool for managing and monitoring SAP IQ servers. The SAP IQ Cockpit agent
must be running to log on to the SAP IQ Cockpit. Run the cockpit command to start SAP IQ Cockpit agent.
Context
These instructions assume all environment variables are set properly.

From a console, type:
cockpit.sh
Results
Messages on the progress of the launch appear in a command window. When SAP IQ Cockpit runs, the
command window becomes the SAP IQ Cockpit console; you can issue commands to get status information
for SAP IQ Cockpit and its ports, plug-ins, and services.
See the SAP IQ Cockpit guide for details on using this administration tool.
9.8 Stopping the SAP IQ Cockpit Agent
Stop the SAP IQ Cockpit agent. Once stopped, you can no longer use the SAP IQ Cockpit.
Context
These instructions assume all environment variables are set properly.
From a console containing the cockpit prompt, type:
cockpit.sh -stop
If the console containing the cockpit prompt has been closed, from a new console, type:
$SYBASE/COCKPIT-4/bin/cockpit.sh -stop
Results
See the SAP IQ Cockpit guide for details on using this administration tool.
9.9 Configuration
This section outlines basic configuration concepts and procedures of an SAP IQ server.
In this section:

Using Configuration Files [page 112]
Use a configuration file to store server startup options.
9.9.1 Using Configuration Files
Use a configuration file to store server startup options.
To start a server or database with a configuration file, change to a directory where you have write privileges,
and use the following command format:
start_iq @<configuration_filename>.cfg <dbname>.db
If a startup parameter is passed from the command line and the same parameter exists in the .cfg file, the
value in the command line overrides the value in .cfg file.
Configuration files can contain line breaks, and can include any set of options, including the @data option. Use
a number sign (#) to designate lines as comments. An ampersand (&) character that appears by itself at the
end of a line indicates that the previous token is continued on the next line. See the SAP IQ Utility Guide for a
complete list of startup parameters.
Default Configuration File
When you start a server and do not include any command line parameters or specify a configuration file, SAP
IQ retrieves the start-up parameters from a default configuration file, default.cfg, in the $IQDIR16/
scripts directory. The default.cfg file is also the source of parameters for the Service Manager and
multiplex configurations. You can maintain consistency by editing parameters in default.cfg.
To increase the amount of virtual memory, change the parameters in default.cfg. To reduce the virtual
memory that other programs use, add swap space to machines or reduce SAP IQ memory demands (cache
sizes, thread count, stack size, etc.).
Security and Configuration Files
You can use the dbfhide (File Hiding) utility to encrypt your configuration files. If you specify log file
parameters (-o <logfile>) in encrypted files, the log is not available to the start_iq utility. You may want
to add parameters that do not require encryption on the command line or in a separate configuration file. For
example:
start_iq @encrypt_params @other_params
or
% start_iq @encrypt_params -n myserv -c 400 -o $IQDIR16/logfile/myserv.log

9.10 Remove Sample Application Files
Before you deploy your server in a production environment, remove the sample client applications.
The SAP IQ Server Suite installation may include directories that contain sample client applications, which are
included for training purposes only. Remove these sample directories before you deploy your server in a
production environment:
● $IQDIR16/samples
● $IQDIR16/sdk
9.11 Starting Interactive SQL
Interactive SQL is a utility that ships with SAP IQ and lets you execute SQL statements, build scripts, and
display database data. It is a component of the SAP IQ client software.
Prerequisites
The Interactive SQL component is installed. See Installing SAP IQ Client Software [page 67].
Context
To use Interactive SQL to connect to a database, it must be running. Enter the connection parameters to the
database. Interactive SQL does not accept @filename parameters. Exit codes are 0 (success) or nonzero
(failure).
Interactive SQL uses the deprecated iAnywhere JDBC driver.
If the options specified do not include user ID and password, the Connect window opens, allowing you to enter
the required information.
Procedure
1. In a command shell, type:
dbisql [ <options> ] [ <dbisql-command> | <command-file> ]
2. On the Connect dialog, enter the parameters for the database and click Connect.

Results
See the SAP IQ Interactive SQL Guide for more information on using Interactive SQL.

9.12 Verify an SAP IQ Server Is Running
Verify whether a specific SAP IQ server is running.
Procedure
From a terminal, type:
ps -ef | grep iqsrv
Results
Locate the name of the server in the resulting list. If the server is listed, it is running.
9.13 Verify SAP IQ Server Is Licensed
After you license an SAP IQ sever, verify that the license was accepted.
Prerequisites
The license file is checked when you start the SAP IQ server. Ensure the server has been restarted at least
once since the license was applied.

Procedure
1. Navigate to the data directory for the server. For example, for the initial database, navigate to
$SYBASE/IQ-16_1/demo
2. Open the iqdemo.iqmsg file in a text editor.

3. Search the file for Using licenses from.
Results
If the server is successfully licensed, using either a served or unserved license, the message Using licenses
from:... appears.
If the server is using an evaluation license, the message Checked out graced license... appears.
If a valid license cannot be found, the message Cannot find license file. appears. Verify:
● The license file is in the licenses folder.

● The path to the license file is ...\SYSAM-2_0\licenses.
● licenses is correctly spelled and is plural, not singular.

10 What's Next?
Create your production database.
Next Steps
Prerequisites
● The initial database is running. See Starting and Stopping the Demo Database [page 88].
Note
Alternately, you can start the utility database (utility.db) instead of the initial database. For
information on the utility database, see SAP IQ Administration: Database.
Procedure
1. Create your simplex or multiplex production database using either Interactive SQL or SAP IQ Cockpit. See
the SAP IQ Interactive SQL Guide or SAP IQ Cockpit guides.
2. Create users or implement LDAP. See the SAP IQ Administration: User Management and Security guide.
3. Create groups and assign privileges and users. See the SAP IQ Administration: User Management and
Security guide.
4. Review the Database Administration Workflow documented in SAP IQ Administration: Database to:
○ Create the production database
○ Create tables in your database
○ Create indexes for your tables
○ Load data into your tables
5. Review the <database>.cfg configuration file and make adjustments as necessary.
6. Tune your database for optimal performance. See the SAP IQ Performance and Tuning Guide.

In this section:
Installer Reports gzip File Not Found [page 119]

[CR #771401] The installer returns the error: gzip: "Not Found".
Installer Stops Responding [page 120]

Issue: A network resource causes the installer to stop responding and returns a syntax error. The df
command also stops responding.
11.2.1 Installer Reports gzip File Not Found
[CR #771401] The installer returns the error: gzip: "Not Found".
The message displays because the installer cannot find the path to the gzip file.
Solution:
You must install gzip and reference it in the path for the installer. The installer expects to find gzip in
the /usr/bin directory.

On some machines, gzip is located in the /usr/contrib/bin/ directory. If this is the case, update the path
and run the installer.
11.2.2 Installer Stops Responding
Issue: A network resource causes the installer to stop responding and returns a syntax error. The df
command also stops responding.
syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'.
Solution:
1. Identify the network file system (NFS) mounts that may have problems:
strace -e statfs, statfs64 df
2. Use the umount command to unmount an identified NFS mount:
umount -l <path>
3. Repeat the above steps until there are no more NFS mounts that have stopped responding.
Note
The umount command requires root permission. If umount unmounts the NFS, you may have to restart
your machine.
11.3 Licensing
This section describes licensing-related issues.
Installer does not Prompt for License File Information
You run the installer, but the installer does not prompt for any license file information.
Solution
This occurs when you launch the installer using a relative path.

Error: <Variable_name> is not found in environment
This error message appears when you have not sourced the environment variables.

Solution
Change to the SAP IQ parent installation directory and execute one of the following:
Shell Type Perform
C (csh) or tcsch shell source IQ.csh
Korn (ksh), Bash, or Bourne (sh) shells source IQ.sh
11.7 SAP IQ Fails to Start on Red Hat 6.x
[CR #690606] On Red Hat 6.x, the default setting for "max user processes" is too low to start SAP IQ.
Red Hat 6.x introduced a change that affects the number of threads that the SAP IQ engine can start. By
default, Red Hat 5.x set the limit dynamically based on the machine configuration (for example, an 8-core
system would set the limit at 256693). In Red Hat 6.x, this limit is hard-coded to 1024 regardless of system
size. This change particularly affects systems with high CPU per core counts and systems where the same
user account starts multiple SAP IQ servers.
Solution 1
1. Calculate the number of threads needed. For each server started by any single user, use the following
formula to calculate the number of threads SAP IQ allocates:
numThreads = 60*4 + 50*(numCPUs - 4) + numConnections + 3
○ For an 8-core system with 100 users, the <numThreads> is 543 threads per server.
○ For a 64-core system with 100 users, the <numThreads> is 3343 threads per server.
The formula also works for systems with fewer CPUs, for example, on 2-core systems.
2. To set hard and soft limits, add the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf:
sybase soft nproc 7712

-- The soft limit allows for 2 servers on the 64-core system plus 1024
default.
sybase hard nproc 16384

-- Powers of 16 work well for kernel and engine settings. (1024 * 16) is
rounded up for extra space.
You can increase the soft limit, but the hard limit is the threshold for the value unless raised by a privileged
user limit. To set limits for all users instead of the sybase user, replace sybase with *, for example:
* soft nproc 7712
* hard nproc 16384

3. Set the process number limit in the shell script of the user who starts servers. For example, for the tcsh or
C (csh) shell:
limit maxproc 7712
For the bash or Korn (ksh) shell:
ulimit –u 7712
4. Restart the machine.
Solution 2
1. Return to Red Hat 5.x behavior by commenting out the following line in the file /etc/security/
limits.d/90-nproc.conf:
#* soft nproc 1024
2. Restart the machine.
11.8 Database Upgrade Issues
Important information about database upgrades.
For detailed information about upgrading SAP IQ, see Upgrade to SAP IQ 16.1 SP 02 [page 128].
Shut Down All Products That Use $SYBASE Before Upgrade
[CR #750748] The SYBASE variable identifies the location of the common parent directory shared by SAP
applications like SAP ASE and SAP Open Client.
Failure to shut down all products that use $SYBASE may generate signal 11 (SIGSEGV) errors when you
upgrade SAP IQ.
Solution
Shut down all SAP applications, restart the SAP IQ server, and retry the upgrade.
Drop All JOIN and All LD Indexes
[CR #702052] On multiplex, drop all logical servers named AUTO, COORDINATOR, ALL or DEFAULT.

If you do not drop these objects and try to run an ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE in SAP IQ 16.1, the upgrade fails
and the server returns a message that indicates that a database upgrade is not possible when these objects
are in use.
Recovery Information
To recover from a failed upgrade, shut down the 16.1 server, open the database with SAP IQ 15.x, and drop all
LD and all JOIN indexes as well as any named logical servers before proceeding with the migration.
Block Number Issues May Cause Corruption
Issues with certain block numbers may cause corruption in upgraded databases. For more information, see
2034975 .
11.9 SAP IQ and Other SAP Products
Issues you should know when you install SAP IQ with other SAP products.
GUI Installation Hangs with .com.zerog.registry.xml File
[CR #736702] InstallAnywhere uses a temporary registry file (.com.zerog.registry.xml) to track

software installations. InstallAnywhere normally deletes this file, but in some cases, the registry may become
corrupt and cause the installer/uninstaller to hang.
Solution
If this occurs, force quit InstallAnywhere, rename .com.zerog.registry.xml, and rerun the install/
uninstall.
The location of the .com.zerog.registry.xml is determined by who performs the install/uninstall. For root
users, this file is located in /var directory; for other users, the $HOME directory.
Error Message for SySAM When Installing SAP IQ on Replication Agent 15.2
[CR #688694] Installing SAP IQ 15.4 and higher versions after Replication Agent 15.2, creates errors in
$SYBASE/log/sysam_server.log and $SYBASE/log/sysam_util.log.
These errors occur because the license files in the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory installed by
Replication Agent do not have write permission.

Solution
Before you install SAP IQ, change the license file permissions in the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory.
11.10 Installing New System Tables Requires ALTER

DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE ON
To install new system tables, you must run ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE ON on existing

ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE instantiates all binaries and schema changes. To roll back to a previous
version, you must restore from backup.
4. Run sp_iqcheckdb ('allocation database') to verify that there are no errors.
Option Description
SAP IQ server Shut down and restart the server normally (without the -gm 1 and -iqro 1 startup flags).
Multiplex Shut down and restart the coordinator normally (without the -iqmpx_sn 1, -gm 1, and -iqro 1
startup flags). Synchronize and restart all multiplex secondary servers.
6. Back up the database.
13.2.5 Point-in-Time Recovery Changes
Migrating a database to SP 02 automatically disables point-in-time recovery. To re-enable point-in-time

recovery, complete all steps in this procedure, including a FULL, INCREMENTAL, or INCREMENTAL SINCE
FULL backup.
Procedure
1. Set the IQ_POINT_IN_TIME_RECOVERY_LOGGING option to ON:
SET OPTION PUBLIC.IQ_POINT_IN_TIME_RECOVERY_LOGGING = 'ON'
2. Identify the directory where you want to open the new point-in-time recovery logs:
ALTER DBSPACE IQ_SYSTEM_LOG RENAME <new-directory-specification>/file-prefix
The <new-directory-specification> must point to an existing directory, and a different location

than the existing logs. For multiplex servers, this directory must reside on a shared file system and be
writable by all multiplex nodes. ALTER DBSPACE assumes that any string terminated by a slash

(Windows) or backslash (UNIX) in the <new-directory-specification> is a directory name. A
terminating string without a slash or backslash is prefixed to the log name.
3. Perform a full data backup:
BACKUP DATABASE ...

SAP IQ 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. You must
explicitly change several compatibility settings to complete the upgrade to 16.1.
System Procedures [page 140]

Enhanced role-based security changes the way privileged system procedures run.
Logical Servers [page 144]

An SAP IQ 16.1 multiplex database upgrade changes the way users access multiplex servers. Starting
with SAP IQ 15.4, logical servers provide the only means to access the multiplex server nodes.
Role-Based Security Model [page 145]

New SAP IQ 16.1 role-based security replaces the authority-based security model.

13.3.1 Update SySAM License Server
If you are using SySAM license server, and are updating from SAP IQ 16.0 SP10 or earlier, you must upgrade
SySAM license server before updating SAP IQ.
SAP IQ 16.1 SP 02 requires SySAM license server 2.4. Use of an obsolete license server with SAP IQ may result
in license server startup failure, with the error: FlexNet Licensing error:-5,414.
To verify the current version of SySAM license server, at a command line, enter:
lmgrd -v
The SySAM server is included in the SAP IQ update package.
See SySAM Users Guide for details on updating.

SySAM Users Guide
13.3.2 Before You Begin
This support package includes changes to the system tables and database schema. Objects no longer
supported by SAP IQ 16.1 must be removed or modified before a database upgrade.
Prerequisites
In SAP IQ 16.1, continuous NBit dictionary compression replaces FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) byte dictionary
compression. Flat FP indexes require more storage space than in earlier releases due to different architecture.
Plan for increased storage space requirements.
Procedure
1. Use the DISCONNECT statement to disconnect all users from the 15.x server.
2. Drop all JOIN and all LD indexes from the 15.x database.
3. Update DATE columns that contain a time portion.
There is a known issue that affects any partition defined on a DATE column that contains a time portion:
○ Use ALTER TABLE MERGE to combine the partition with the next partition.
○ Use ALTER TABLE SPLIT to divide the resulting partition into a definition with the same criteria, but
no time portion.

4. Drop and re-create all SAP IQ 15.2 TEXT indexes that have not already been dropped and re-created as
part of a version 15.2 ESD upgrade.
TEXT indexes created in SAP IQ 15.2 are incompatible with later versions of SAP IQ.
5. Shut down the SAP IQ 15.x server or multiplex.
If the server stops responding during shutdown, do not proceed to the next step. Restart the database and
shut it down again. Proceed to the next task only on a clean shutdown.
13.3.3 Initial Steps
Some steps differ for simplex and multiplex servers. See the cover letter for release-specific instructions.
Procedure
1. Download the support package from the SAP Software Download Center .
2. Back up your current installation, and save copies of any changes you made to default login and post-login
scripts. Make sure the backups are readable.
3. Check with your operating system vendor for information about the latest operating system patches.
Use the recommended operating system patch. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version
suggested for your operating system.
4. In Interactive SQL, run sp_iqcheckoptions on each database, and capture the output.
sp_iqcheckoptions generates a list of current database values and options. Use these values to restore
your database settings after you upgrade.
5. Validate your license against each database to ensure that your license maintenance support is in (or
near) compliance.
A server without a maintenance contract for more than a year will not run. Validating your licenses ensures
that your database functions correctly after you install the SP. See the SySAM Users Guide for validation
procedures.
6. Uninstall SAP IQ.
13.3.4 Installation
Procedure
1. Use the appropriate utility to extract the support package to a directory on the file system.

2. Install the support package. Do not install to the same directory as other SAP Products. On multiplex
servers, install the support package on each node separately.
3. Change to the SAP IQ parent installation directory and execute one of the following:
source ./IQ.csh
source ./IQ.sh
4. In a terminal, change to $IQDIR16/bin64.

5. Check the version string on the server to verify that the support package installed correctly:
start_iq -v2
The results should match the version string in the cover letter.
13.3.5 Database Upgrade

server.
Multiplex In the configuration file, set the -iqmpx_sn 1, -gm 1, and -iqro 1 startup flags, then start the
coordinator on the SAP IQ 16.1 SP 02 multiplex.

3. Use DROP INDEX to drop all LD and JOIN indexes.
4. Upgrade the database.
ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE instantiates all binaries and schema changes. To roll back to a previous
version, you must restore from backup.
5. Run sp_iqcheckdb ('allocation database') to verify that there are no errors.
Option Description
SAP IQ server Shut down and restart the server normally (without the -gm 1 and -iqro 1 startup flags).
Multiplex Shut down and restart the coordinator normally (without the -iqmpx_sn 1, -gm 1, and -iqro 1
startup flags). Synchronize and restart all multiplex secondary servers.
13.3.6 Database Status Post Upgrade
SAP IQ 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. You must explicitly
change several compatibility settings to complete the upgrade to 16.1.
Indexes
● Continuous NBit dictionary compression replaces FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) byte dictionary compression.
FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) indexes roll over to NBit(8), NBit(16), and NBit(24) respectively. All data types
except LOB (both character and binary) and BIT data types may be NBit columns.
If FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY is OFF, IQ UNIQUE determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or
NBit. .
● New tiered HG index structure decouples load performance from HG index size. In 15.x, load throughput
could degrade as the amount of data in an HG index increased. As the index grew, loading the same
amount of data could take more time. The new tiered structure decouples load performance from the HG
index size to increase throughput.
The CREATE_HG_WITH_EXACT_DISTINCTS option determines whether newly created HG indexes are
tiered or non-tiered. If this option is ON, all new HG indexes are non-tiered. To take advantage of the new
structure, set this option to OFF. Use sp_iqrebuildindex to convert non-tiered HG indexes to tiered HG
and vice versa.
Column Constraints
IQ UNIQUE determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit.

Constraint Description
IQ UNIQUE In SAP IQ 16.1, IQ UNIQUE explicitly defines the expected cardinality of a column and
determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit. Columns retain their IQ
UNIQUE value during a 15.x to 16.1 database upgrade.
Setting IQ UNIQUE to 0 loads the column as Flat FP. Columns without an IQ UNIQUE
constraint or columns with an IQ UNIQUE <n> value that is less than the limit defined
by the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT option is not necessary. Auto-size functionality au
tomatically sizes all low or medium cardinality columns as NBit. Use IQ UNIQUE in
cases if you want to load the column as Flat FP or if you want to load as NBit and the
number of distinct values exceeds the auto-size limits
Database Options
New database options control NBit behavior and HG indexes.
FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIB Provides tokenized FP support similar to that available in 15.x. This option is ON by de
ILITY fault in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x and OFF in all newly created 16.1 data
bases.
● If this option is ON, the database engine uses the MINIMIZE_STORAGE,

FP_LOOKUP_SIZE, and FP_LOOKUP_SIZE_PPM options to optimize column stor
age. These options are ignored in 16.1.
● If this option is OFF, the database engine ignores 15.x options and columns conform
to SAP IQ 16.1 NBit storage options.
Set this option to OFF to take advantage of NBit column compression.
CREATE_HG_WITH_EXACT_ Determines whether new HG indexes explicitly created with a CREATE INDEX com
DISTINCTS mand, or implicitly creating or altering a table with a PRIMARY KEY or a FOREIGN KEY
declaration, are tiered or non-tiered. This option is ON in 16.1 databases upgraded from
15.x and all newly created 16.1 databases. If this option is ON, all new HG indexes are
non-tiered. To take advantage of the new tiered HG index structure, set this option to
OFF.
Use sp_iqrebuildindex to convert non-tiered HG indexes to tiered HG and vice

versa.
CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_P Governs 16.1 delete behavior for tiered HG indexes. This option determines whether SAP
HYSICAL_DELETE IQ performs a physical delete immediately or defers the delete to a point later in the
load.
CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICAL_DELETE is ON by default, which instructs SAP IQ

to perform physical deletes.
REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZ Forces the query optimizer to mimic SAP IQ 15.x behavior. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTI
ER MIZER is ON by default in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x. REVERT_TO_V15_OP
TIMIZER is OFF by default in all newly created SAP IQ 16.1 databases.
If you plan to use SAP IQ 16.1 hash partitioning features, set the REVERT_TO_V15_OPTI
MIZER to OFF.

Startup Options
Some load operations may require more memory than the 2 GB default provides. If memory requirements
exceed the default, use the -iqlm startup option to increase the memory that SAP IQ can dynamically request
from the OS. Set -iqlm as a switch as part of the command or configuration file that starts the server.
As a general rule, large memory requirements represent one third of the total available physical memory
allocated to SAP IQ. To ensure adequate memory for the main and temporary IQ stores, set the -iqlm, -iqtc,
and -iqmc startup parameters so that each parameter receives one third of all available physical memory
allocated to SAP IQ.
In most cases, you should allocate 80% of total physical memory to SAP IQ to prevent SAP IQ processes from
being swapped out. Adjust actual memory allocation to accommodate other processes running on the same
system. For example, on a machine with 32 cores and 128 GB of total available physical memory, you would
allocate 100 GB (approximately 80% of the 128 GB total) to SAP IQ processes. Following the general rule, you
would set the -iqlm, -iqtc, and -iqmc parameters to 33 GB each.
Object Names
Reserved words cannot be used as object names.
An SAP IQ 15.x database could contain tables, columns, and other objects named row. In SAP IQ 16.1, row is a
reserved word and cannot be used as an object name.
To use a reserved word as an object name, enclosed the object name in brackets (regardless of the
QUOTED_IDENTIFIER setting) or double quotes (if QUOTED_IDENTIFIER='ON' [default]):
Sample Code
// QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON | OFF
select * from [row];
alter table row2 rename [row] to col_row;
// QUOTED_IDENTIFIER='ON'
select "row" from row2;
alter table "row" rename rownew;
Stored Procedures
Use these stored procedures to review and change column constraints and indexes.
sp_iqcolumnmetadata Returns index metadata for all columns in one or more tables.
sp_iqindexmetadata Returns details about column indexes, including the index types (Flat FP, NBit, HG,
and tiered HG), distinct counts, IQ UNIQUE value, and NBit dictionary size.

sp_iqrebuildindex Rebuilds FP indexes (Flat FP as NBit, or NBit as Flat FP) and HG indexes (single HG as
tiered HG, or tiered HG as single HG). Before you can insert or update new data, you
must rebuild all columns greater than 255 bytes wide.
The index_clause can reset IQ UNIQUE <n> to an explicit value from 0 (to recast
an NBit column to Flat FP) up to the limits defined in the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT
and FP_NBIT_LOOKUP_MB options.
sp_iqrebuildindex also enables read-write access to columns that contain

large object (LOB) data. LOB columns migrated from 15.x databases are read-only
until you run sp_iqrebuildindex.
The estimated cardinality for NBit columns with an IQ UNIQUE value below or equal to
the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT is stored as 0 regardless of the FP_NBIT_IQ15_COM
PATIBILITY setting. This affects the value returned from sp_iqindexmetadata.
sp_iqindexrebuildwideda Identifies wide columns that you must rebuild before they are available for read/write
ta activities. sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata also generates a list of statements
that you can use to rebuild the columns.
This applies to CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, and VARBINARY columns wider than 255
characters, as well as all Long Varchar and Long Binary columns.
13.3.7 System Procedures
Enhanced role-based security changes the way privileged system procedures run.
In this section:
System Procedure Changes [page 141]

Prior to SAP IQ 16.1, privileged system procedures ran with the privileges of its owner, typically the dbo
system role; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model. In 16.x, privileged system
procedures run with the privileges of the person executing it; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE
INVOKER model.
Pre- 16.x Privileged System Procedures [page 142]

A list of pre- 16.x privileged system procedures.
Regrant EXECUTE Privilege [page 143]

When you upgrade a database, there is a set of privileged system procedures for which you must
regrant the EXECUTE privilege if the upgraded database continues to use the SYSTEM PROCEDURE
DEFINER security model.

13.3.7.1 System Procedure Changes
Prior to SAP IQ 16.1, privileged system procedures ran with the privileges of its owner, typically the dbo system
role; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model. In 16.x, privileged system procedures run with
the privileges of the person executing it; this is called the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model.
Note
This behavior change applies to SAP IQ privileged system procedures only, and not to user-defined stored
procedures.
In the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model, when you grant a user explicit EXECUTE object-level privilege on
a system procedure, any privileges required to run any authorized tasks associated with the system procedure
are automatically inherited from the owner (definer of the system procedure).
In the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model, the EXECUTE object-level privilege for each system procedure
is granted to the PUBLIC role. Since, by default, every user is a member of the PUBLIC role, every user
automatically inherits the required EXECUTE object-level privilege. Any additional system privileges needed to
run the system procedure are not inherited; you must now directly or indirectly grant them to the user.
This behavior change might create a loss of functionality on custom stored procedures and applications that
explicitly grant EXECUTE object-level privilege on system procedures. For this reason, the default upgrade
process for pre- 16.x database uses a combination of the two models. Privileged system procedures that
existed in IQ versions earlier than 16.x continue to run using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model, while
any privileged system procedures introduced in 16.x or later use the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model.
You can override the default upgrade behavior so that all privileged system procedures for all versions use only
the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model if the potential loss of functionality is not a concern. If you are
unsure of potential loss of functionality, upgrade your database to use the default behavior, then investigate. If
you determine that it is not an issue, and you want all system procedures to run using the SYSTEM
PROCEDURE INVOKER model, use the ALTER DATABASE statement to change the default security model.
When you override the default upgrade behavior, the EXECUTE object-level privilege to run privileged system
procedures is revoked from all users and roles and granted to the PUBLIC role.
To specify a security model, use the CREATE DATABASE statement, ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE statement,
or the Initialization utility (iqinit).
Once a database is upgraded to SAP IQ 16.1, the default upgrade behavior for any subsequent upgrades (for
example to 16.1 SP 02, SP 03, and so on) is to continue to use the current security model.
There is a small subset of pre- 16.x privileged system procedures that has always run with the privileges of the
user running the procedure, rather than the owner of the procedure. In addition to EXECUTE object-level
privilege on the system procedure, you must be granted additional system privileges that are specific to the
system procedure.
When running privileged system procedures using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER model, the DBO
system role is typically the owner of the procedures. By default, the dbo system role is granted the
SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role. This ensures that the role is indirectly granted all privileges
necessary to execute system procedures. Migrating the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role can result in
the dbo system role losing the ability to execute privileged system procedures. See Implications of Migrating
Compatibility Roles [page 189] for details.

13.3.7.2 Pre- 16.x Privileged System Procedures
A list of pre- 16.x privileged system procedures.
Privileged System Procedures Using the Combined Security Model
For these privileged system procedures, if the database is configured to use SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER,
you only need EXECUTE object-level privilege on the procedure to run it. If the database is configured to use
SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER, you also need the individual system privileges required by each procedure.
Refer to the SAP IQ SQL Reference Guide for the system privileges required to run each system procedure.

Privileged System Procedures Using Invoker Privileges
These pre- 16.x privileged system procedures run with the privileges of the user who is running the procedure,
not the owner of the procedure, regardless of the security model setting. Therefore, in addition to the
EXECUTE object-level privilege on the system procedure, which is, by default, granted through membership in
PUBLIC role, you must also be granted the additional system privileges required by the system procedure.
Refer to the SAP IQ SQL Reference Guide for the system privileges required to run each system procedure.
● sa_describe_shapefile
● sa_get_user_status
● sa_locks
● sa_performance_diagnostics
● sa_report_deadlocks
● sa_text_index_stats
13.3.7.3 Regrant EXECUTE Privilege

When you upgrade a database, there is a set of privileged system procedures for which you must regrant the
EXECUTE privilege if the upgraded database continues to use the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER security
model.
The system procedures for which you must regrant the privilege are:
● sa_audit_string
● sa_checkpoint_execute
● sa_disable_auditing_type
● sa_disk_free_space
● sa_enable_auditing_type
● sa_external_library_unload
● sa_flush_cache
● sa_list_external_library
● sa_server_option
● sa_procedure_profile
● sa_procedure_profile_summary
● sa_table_page_usage
● sa_validate
To determine the security model of your upgraded database, execute:
select IF ((HEXTOINT(substring(db_property('Capabilities'),
1,length(db_property('Capabilities'))-20)) & 8) = 8)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END IF
A value of 1 indicates the database is using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE INVOKER model. A value of 0 indicates
that the database is using the SYSTEM PROCEDURE DEFINER.
The MANAGE ANY OBJECT PRIVILEGE system privilege is required to grant the EXECUTE object-level
privilege.

To grant the privilege, execute:
GRANT EXECUTE
ON [ owner.] {<procedure-name> | <user-defined-function-name> }
TO <userID [,...]>

Pre- 16.x Privileged System Procedures [page 142]
13.3.8 Logical Servers
An SAP IQ 16.1 multiplex database upgrade changes the way users access multiplex servers. Starting with SAP
IQ 15.4, logical servers provide the only means to access the multiplex server nodes.
Upgrading a multiplex database creates an appropriate logical server for each server-specific login policy.
Login policies are updated to use a logical server configuration that provides access to the same set of
multiplex servers as prior to upgrade.
If a login policy does not allow access to any node (such as when the base setting of LOCKED is ON and there
are no multiplex server-level overrides), the login policy is set to a system-defined logical server, NONE, instead
of creating a new logical server. NONE indicates that the login policy does not allow access to any multiplex
server.
If a login policy has no explicit setting for the LOCKED option, either at the base level or via a multiplex server-
level override, no logical server is created for that policy. Such a login policy inherits the logical server
assignment of the root login policy.
● Membership configuration of a logical server provides access to the same multiplex nodes as the
corresponding 15.x login policy. If the login policy allowed access to the current coordinator server, a
logical membership of the coordinator is also added to the logical server.
● Logical server names are derived from login policy names. If the login policy name is fewer than 126
characters, the logical server follows this naming convention: LS_<login policy name>. For example,
for a login policy named mpx_grp1, a logical server LS_mpx_grp1 is created and assigned to that login
policy.
If the login policy name exceeds 125 characters, a logical server is created with the same name as of the
login policy, that is, without adding an LS_ prefix.
● During the upgrade, some login policy option settings or multiplex server-level overrides are reset or
removed. In the root login policy, LOCKED and MAX_CONNECTIONS overrides are reset to default values
( 'OFF' and 10 respectively).
Settings for LOCKED and MAX_CONNECTIONS are removed from user-defined login policies. Multiplex
server-level overrides are removed from all login policies.
● To retain pre-upgrade behavior for existing applications, the login policy option LOGIN_REDIRECTION is
added to the root logical server policy with its value set to off.
See Manage Resources Through Logical Servers in SAP IQ Administration: Multiplex.

13.3.9 Role-Based Security Model
New SAP IQ 16.1 role-based security replaces the authority-based security model.
In this section:
What Happened to Authorities, Permissions, and Groups? [page 146]

SAP IQ 16.x introduces a role-based security model. Earlier versions used authorities, permissions,
object-level permissions, and groups. The role-based security model uses roles, system privileges,
object-level privileges, and user-extended roles.
Authorities Become Compatibility Roles [page 147]

When you upgrade to 16.1, users who are granted authorities in the earlier version are automatically
granted an equivalent compatibility role. If the user previously had the ability to administer the
authority, he or she has the ability to administer the compatibility role in 16.0.
Permissions Become Privileges [page 149]

SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x used object-level permissions such as ALTER and SELECT for tables
and views. These permissions are now called object-level privileges.
Groups Become Roles [page 149]

When you upgrade an IQ database earlier than 16.0, each group is converted to an equivalent user-
extended role of the same name. Members of the original group are automatically granted the new role
and all of its underlying system privileges. Authorities and object-level permissions granted to the
original group are converted to equivalent compatibility roles and system privileges and are granted to
the user-extended role.
Change to Concept of a Super-User (DBA Authority) [page 149]

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, the DBA user was often considered a super-user by virtue of being
granted the DBA authority. The DBA user continues to exist in 16.x, however, the concept has changed.
Changes to the GRANT Statement Syntax [page 150]

The GRANT syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported, but deprecated. If you have
applications that use the pre- 16.x GRANT statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for
roles and privileges.
Changes to the REVOKE Statement Syntax [page 153]

The REVOKE syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported but deprecated. If you have
applications that use the pre- 16.x REVOKE statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for
roles and privileges.
Changes to REMOTE DBA [page 154]

The REMOTE DBA authority is replaced by the SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE system role. This role
allows user to administer replication.
Changes in Inheritance Behavior [page 154]

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.0, when you granted the DBA, REMOTE DBA, BACKUP, RESOURCE,
and VALIDATE authorities to a group, the underlying permissions were not inherited by members of
the group.
Changes in Administering the Database Publisher [page 155]

In 16.x, the PUBLISH authority is replaced by the PUBLIC.db_publisher database option. You
change the publisher by changing the database option.
Compatibility Roles [page 155]

Compatibility roles exist for backward compatibility with versions of SAP IQ earlier than 16.0. that
support authority-based security.
Backward Compatibility in SAP IQ 16.1 [page 190]

Grant and revoke syntax for role-based security differs significantly from authority-based security.
However, SAP IQ 16.1 is fully backward compatible with authority-based syntax.
Stored Procedure to Map Authorities to System Roles [page 191]

The sp_auth_sys_role_info stored procedure generates a report, which maps each authority to a
corresponding system role name.
Connecting to SAP IQ 15.x Databases with SAP IQ 16.x [page 191]

Role-based syntax is not supported in SAP IQ 15.x databases.
13.3.9.1 What Happened to Authorities, Permissions, and

Groups?
SAP IQ 16.x introduces a role-based security model. Earlier versions used authorities, permissions, object-level
permissions, and groups. The role-based security model uses roles, system privileges, object-level privileges,
and user-extended roles.
Note
You can use an SAP IQ 16.x server with an IQ database from an earlier version (pre- 16.x). When you do, full
backward compatibility is provided for that database, and its security model is not changed.
In pre- 16.x, authorities are database-level permissions. For example, a user with BACKUP authority can back
up the database. Some authorities bundle object-level permissions. For example, a user with PROFILE
authority can perform application profiling and database tracing tasks, which involve using system procedures
that are not otherwise available for use. You cannot create new authorities, alter the permissions they
comprised, or drop them. You can grant administrative rights (WITH GRANT), but cannot limit the grant to
administrator rights only.
In 16.x, roles replace authorities, with the added benefit that you can create new roles, alter the system
privileges granted, and drop them. Roles and privileges provide a more granular control when granting system
privileges to users. You can also grant roles to users with administrative rights only. A user can then grant and
revoke the role, but cannot exercise the underlying privileges.
In pre- 16.x, permissions allowed you to create, modify, query, use, or delete database objects such as tables,
views, and users.
In 16.x, system privileges replace permissions in functionality. Every privileged operation that you can perform
on a database object now has a grantable system privilege. You can grant system privileges individually to
users or to a role.
In 16.x, the meaning of permissions has changed. In pre- 16.x versions, a permission meant a grantable
capability. Now, permission means the result of an evaluation of whether an operation can be performed. For
example, you have permission to alter the table if you are the owner or you have the ALTER ANY TABLE
system privilege.

In pre- 16.x, groups were a collection of one or more users whose authorities and permissions were
determined at the group level. A user was granted group status, and then other users were granted
membership in that group.
In 16.x, the group paradigm is achieved using user-extended roles. If you have a user with a set of privileges
that you want to grant to other users, you extend the user to become a user-extended role, and then grant that
role to other users.
Upgrading a pre- 16.x database automatically converts your existing authority, permission, and group
hierarchy into an equivalent role, privilege, and user-extended role hierarchy. Every pre- 16.x authority has a
compatibility role. These roles are easily identifiable because their names start with SYS_AUTH. Compatibility
roles contain the system privileges required to perform the same operations as the corresponding previous
authority.
To take full advantage of the control and granularity of privileges available with role-based security, SAP
recommends that, after migration, you review the compatibility role grants of each user and adjust
membership and system privilege grants as necessary.
13.3.9.2 Authorities Become Compatibility Roles
When you upgrade to 16.1, users who are granted authorities in the earlier version are automatically granted
an equivalent compatibility role. If the user previously had the ability to administer the authority, he or she has
the ability to administer the compatibility role in 16.0.
The naming convention for each compatibility role retains the original authority name, but is prefaced with
"SYS_AUTH_" and suffixed with "_ROLE". For example, the authority BACKUP becomes the role
SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROLE, authority RESOURCE becomes role SYS_AUTH_RESOURCES_ROLE, and so on.
You cannot modify compatibility roles. However, you can migrate them to a user-defined role, and then modify
them. When you migrate a compatibility role to a user-defined role, all users who are granted the compatibility
role are granted the new user-defined role. Once each underlying system privilege is granted to at least one
other role, you can drop the compatibility role. To restore compatibility roles, use the CREATE ROLE
statement.
SQL statements are backward compatibility to support applications that grant or revoke authorities. However,
the old syntax is deprecated and SAP recommends that you changed your applications to use the new SQL
syntax for roles.
This table shows each authority and its equivalent compatibility role.
Authority Compatibility Role Description
BACKUP SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROL Allows a user to back up databases and transaction logs with
E archive or image backups by using the BACKUP DATABASE
statement or dbbackup utility.

Authority Compatibility Role Description
DBA SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE Allows users to perform all possible privileged operations.

Users with the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role can create data
SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE
base objects and assign ownership of these objects to other
SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE user IDs, change table structures, create new user IDs, revoke
permissions from users, back up the database, and so on.
Of the possible privileged operations that the

SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role can perform, the
SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE compatibility role allows the user to per
form all database administration-related activities, such as
creating tables, and backing up data.
Of the possible privileged operations that the

SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role can perform, the
SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE compatibility role allows the user to
perform the security and access-related administration activi
ties, such as creating users, and granting privileges on objects.
PROFILE SYS_AUTH_PRO Allows a user to perform profiling, tracing, and diagnostic op
FILE_ROLE erations.
READCLIENTFILE SYS_AUTH_READCLIENT Allows a user to read files on the client computer, for example
FILE_ROLE when loading data from a file on a client computer.
READFILE SYS_AUTH_READ Allows a user to use the OPENSTRING clause in a SELECT

FILE_ROLE statement to read a file.
REMOTE DBA SYS_RUN_REPLICA Allows a SQL Remote user to perform replication activities by
TION_ROLE system role using the dbremote and dbmisync utilities. It does not,
however, allow administration of replication.
SYS_REPLICATION_AD
MIN_ROLE system role The SYS_REPLICATION_ADMIN_ROLE system role is provided
for replication administration.
RESOURCE SYS_AUTH_RE Allows a user to create database objects, such as tables,

SOURCE_ROLE views, stored procedures, and triggers.
VALIDATE SYS_AUTH_VALI Allows a user to perform database, table, index, and checksum
DATE_ROLE validation by using the VALIDATE statement or dbvalid
utility.
WRITECLIENTFILE SYS_AUTH_WRITE Allows a user to write to files on a client computer, for exam
CLIENTFILE_ROLE ple, when using the UNLOAD TABLE statement to write data
to a client computer.
WRITEFILE SYS_AUTH_WRITE Allows a user to execute the xp_write_file system proce

FILE_ROLE dure.
In an authority-based security model, there was no way to limit the grant if a user did not need all of the
permissions vested in an authority. This resulted in users often being granted more permissions than
necessary, a potential security concern. The role-based security model addresses this concern by allowing
system privileges to be granted at a granular level.
Since the migration process ensures that all existing privileges are preserved at the user and group level, SAP
recommends that, after migration, you review the compatibility role grants for each user and adjust
membership as necessary.

13.3.9.3 Permissions Become Privileges
SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x used object-level permissions such as ALTER and SELECT for tables and
views. These permissions are now called object-level privileges.
When you upgrade your database, users granted permissions are automatically granted the equivalent object-
level privileges.
SQL statements that grant or revoke object-level permissions/privileges still work.
In addition to object-level privileges, there are now grantable system privileges for every authorized operation.
13.3.9.4 Groups Become Roles
When you upgrade an IQ database earlier than 16.0, each group is converted to an equivalent user-extended
role of the same name. Members of the original group are automatically granted the new role and all of its
underlying system privileges. Authorities and object-level permissions granted to the original group are
converted to equivalent compatibility roles and system privileges and are granted to the user-extended role.
If an authority was inheritable, grantees of the new user-extended role inherit the underlying system privileges
of the equivalent compatibility role. If the authority was not inheritable, the grantees of the user-extended role
do not inherit the underlying system privileges of the equivalent compatibility role. If the legacy group had a
password, only the extended user of the user-extended role inherits the underlying system privileges of the
compatibility role that is not inheritable.
System groups become system roles with the same name.
Group/System Role Description
dbo This role owns many system stored procedures, views, and tables.
diagnostics This role owns the diagnostic tables and views, and can perform operations on them.
PUBLIC This role has SELECT permission on the system tables. Any new user ID is automati
cally granted the PUBLIC role.
ra_systabgroup This role allows users to perform replication server functionality.
SYS This role owns the system tables and views (IQ catalog) for the database, and can per
form operations on them.
SYS_SPATIAL_ADMIN_ROLE This role allows users to create, alter, or drop spatial objects.
13.3.9.5 Change to Concept of a Super-User (DBA Authority)
In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, the DBA user was often considered a super-user by virtue of being granted
the DBA authority. The DBA user continues to exist in 16.x, however, the concept has changed.
In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, you created a super-user by granting a user DBA authority. Users with
DBA authority can perform any privileged task in the system. When you upgrade your database to 16.x, any
users granted DBA authority are granted the equivalent SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role and become
a super-user. After migration, the super-user itself must be managed to preserve its super-user abilities.

When you create a new role without specify an administrator, users with the MANAGE ROLES system privilege
(global administrators) can administer the role. Since MANAGE ROLES is one of the system privileges granted
to the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role, super-users can administer new roles.
However, if you create a new role and assign administrators, administration is then limited to only those
administrators; global administrators, and thus super-users, cannot administer the role. You must explicitly
assign the super-user as an administrator of the role.
You can migrate the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role to a user-defined role, and eventually drop it.
Since the ability of the super-user to perform any privileged task is dependent on the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE
compatibility role, before you drop the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE compatibility role, you must grant the super-
user membership in the new user-defined role or grant each of the underlying system privileges directly or
indirectly to the super-user.
13.3.9.6 Changes to the GRANT Statement Syntax
The GRANT syntax for authorities, permissions, and groups is supported, but deprecated. If you have
applications that use the pre- 16.x GRANT statement syntax, modify them to use the new syntax for roles and
privileges.
In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.x, DBA, REMOTE DBA, RESOURCE, and VALIDATE authorities were not
inheritable. When you upgrade your database to 16.x, the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause
ensures that inheritance behavior remains consistent with earlier releases.
Users granted DBA and REMOTE DBA authorities could grant them to others. In 16.x, the WITH ADMIN clause
is introduced to ensure that administration rights behavior remains consistent with previous releases.

13.3.9.7 Changes to the REVOKE Statement Syntax

13.3.9.8 Changes to REMOTE DBA

The REMOTE DBA authority is replaced by the SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE system role. This role allows
user to administer replication.
The GRANT REMOTE DBA statement syntax is still supported but deprecated. Change your applications to
grant this new role.
13.3.9.9 Changes in Inheritance Behavior

In SAP IQ versions earlier than 16.0, when you granted the DBA, REMOTE DBA, BACKUP, RESOURCE, and
VALIDATE authorities to a group, the underlying permissions were not inherited by members of the group.
In 16.0, the default behavior when granting SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE,

SYS_AUTH_BACKUP_ROLE, SYS_AUTH_RESOURCE_ROLE, and SYS_AUTH_VALIDATE_ROLE (formerly

DBA, REMOTE DBA, BACKUP, RESOURCE, and VALIDATE) to a user-defined role allows members of the user-
defined role to inherit the underlying system privileges of the role. The WITH NO SYSTEM INHERITANCE
clause retains the non-inheritance behavior.
To retain the non-inheritance behavior of these roles after upgrading, include the WITH NO SYSTEM
PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause in the GRANT ROLE statement, if you have applications that you are changing
to use the new GRANT syntax, and want to preserve the non-inheritance behavior.
Note
The WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause is supported only with these specific roles; any
other use results in an error.
For example, you grant User1 the ALTER ANY OBJECT system privilege. You extend User1 to become a role
and grant User1 to User2. You want to grant the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role to User1, but you do not want
User2 to inherit the system privileges vested to SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE. Execute:
GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO User1 WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE;
13.3.9.10 Changes in Administering the Database Publisher
In 16.x, the PUBLISH authority is replaced by the PUBLIC.db_publisher database option. You change the
publisher by changing the database option.
In IQ versions earlier than 16.x, the database publisher was controlled by using the GRANT PUBLISH and
REVOKE PUBLISH statements. You determine the current publisher by querying the CURRENT PUBLISHER
special value. The GRANT PUBLISH and REVOKE PUBLISH syntax is still supported, but deprecated.
You can also still query the CURRENT PUBLISHER to determine the current publisher.
The SET ANY SYSTEM OPTION system privilege is required to set PUBLIC.db_publisher.
13.3.9.11 Compatibility Roles
Compatibility roles exist for backward compatibility with versions of SAP IQ earlier than 16.0. that support
authority-based security.
You can grant, revoke, and under specific conditions, delete compatibility roles. You cannot modify any of the
underlying system privileges. However, you can migrate compatibility roles to user-defined roles, and then
modify the underlying system privileges. When you migrate a compatibility role, all grantees of the
compatibility role are automatically granted the user-defined role.
Use the compatibility roles SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE to administer and grant all
individual system privileges in a new database. The union of the system privileges of these two roles is granted
to the compatibility role SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE. By default, SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is granted to the DBA
user with administrative privileges. Thus, all system privileges are initially granted to the DBA user.
You can grant users to, and revoke users from, compatibility roles.

privileges and roles.

13.3.9.11.1.3 Granting SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE
Allows users to perform all authorized tasks.
Prerequisites
Administrative privilege over SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role.
Context
This role indirectly grants all compatibility roles, and some system roles, to a user. It is the union of the
underlying system privileges of each of these roles that makes the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role the "super"
role.
Note
When migrating from SAP IQ 15.4 and earlier, the concept of inheritance of the underlying system privileges
of this system role represents a change in behavior in SAP IQ 16.0 or later. For SAP IQ 15.4 and earlier
behavior, use the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause.
The WITH ADMIN ONLY OPTION clause is invalid when using the WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE
clause. The WITH NO ADMIN OPTION clause is valid, but not required, as it is semantically equivalent to the
WITH NO SYSTEM PRIVILEGE INHERITANCE clause.
Procedure
To grant the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role, execute one of these statements:
With full administrative rights GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO <grantee [,...]>
WITH ADMIN OPTION
With administrative rights only GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO <grantee [,...]>

With no administrative rights GRANT ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE TO <grantee [,...]>

Revoke a compatibility role from a user or role.
Prerequisites
Administrative privilege over the compatibility role being revoked.
Procedure
To revoke a compatibility role, execute one of these statements:
Administrative rights only REVOKE ADMIN OPTION FOR ROLE <compatibility_role>
FROM <grantee [,...]>
Membership in the role and REVOKE ROLE <compatibility_role>
any administrative rights FROM <grantee [,...]>
13.3.9.11.3 Migrating a Compatibility Role
Migrate all underlying system privileges of a compatibility role to a user-defined role.
Prerequisites
Administrative privilege over the role being migrated, and the MANAGE ROLES system privilege.

Context
Compatibility roles are immutable, but you can migrate them in their entirety to a new user-defined role. Once
migrated, the compatibility role is automatically dropped. This process is systematically equivalent to
individually granting each underlying system privilege to a user-defined role, then manually dropping the
compatibility role.
During migration:
● A new user-defined role is created.

● All system privileges currently granted to the migrating role are granted to the new user-defined role.
● All users and roles currently granted to the migrating role are granted to the new user-defined role.
● Administrators of the compatibility role continue to be the administrators of the new migrated role.
● The compatibility role is dropped.
You cannot use ALTER ROLE to individually migrate the SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE
compatibility roles. These two compatibility roles are automatically migrated when SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is
migrated.
The name of the new role cannot already exist, or begin with the prefix SYS_ and end with the suffix _ROLE
when migrating a compatibility role.
Procedure
To migrate a compatibility role, execute one of these statements:
Compatibility Role Statement
SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE ALTER ROLE <SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE>
MIGRATE TO <new_dba_role_name, new_sa_role_name, new_sso_role_name>
Any other compatibility role ALTER ROLE <compatibility_sys_role_name>
MIGRATE TO <new_role_name>
Example
Example
The following statement migrates SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE to the new roles Custom_DBA_Role,

Custom_SA_Role, and Custom_SSO_Role, respectively.
ALTER ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE

MIGRATE TO Custom_DBA_Role, Custom_SA_Role, Custom_SSO_Role
This statement migrates the SYS_AUTH_OPERATOR_ROLE role to the new role Custom_Operator_role.
ALTER ROLE SYS_AUTH_OPERATOR_ROLE

MIGRATE TO Custom_Operator_Role

In both examples, all users, underlying system privileges, and roles granted to the original roles are
automatically migrated to the new roles, then SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE,
SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_OPERATOR_ROLE are dropped.
13.3.9.11.4 Dropping a Compatibility Role
All compatibility roles, with the exception of SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE can be
dropped. SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE are automatically dropped when
SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is dropped.
Prerequisites
● Administrative privilege over the role being dropped.

● Each of the system privileges granted to a compatibility role is granted to at least one user-defined role.
Context
The WITH REVOKE clause is only required when dropping a compatibility role that is currently granted to users
or roles. You can re-create any dropped compatibility role. See Re-creating a Compatibility Role [page 189].
Procedure
To delete a compatibility role, execute one of these statements:
Drop Condition Statement
Compatibility role not currently granted to any user or role. DROP ROLE <role_name>*
Compatibility role currently granted to users or roles. DROP ROLE <role_name>* WITH REVOKE
*<role_name> cannot be SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE or SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE.
Related Information
Re-creating a Compatibility Role [page 189]

13.3.9.11.5 Re-creating a Compatibility Role
Re-creates a dropped compatibility role.
Prerequisites
● MANAGE ROLES system privilege.

● Administrative privileges on all of the system privileges granted to the compatibility role being re-created.
Context
Re-creating SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE is semantically equivalent to re-creating both the SYS_AUTH_SA_ROLE

and SYS_AUTH_SSO_ROLE roles; you cannot re-create these two roles separately.
When you re-create any compatibility role other than SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, administrative privileges on the
re-created compatibility role are automatically granted to SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, as long as it still exists.
When you re-create any compatibility role other than SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE, or

SYS_AUTH_PERMS_ADMIN_ROLE, administrative privileges on the re-created compatibility role are
automatically granted to SYS_AUTH_PERMS_ADMIN_ROLE, as long as it still exists.
Procedure
To re-create a compatibility role, execute:

CREATE ROLE <compatibility_role_name> [ WITH ADMIN [ONLY] <userid [, ...]> ]
13.3.9.11.6 Implications of Migrating Compatibility Roles
Some system roles are indirectly granted the system privileges necessary to execute privileged tasks through
membership in compatibility roles.
You cannot revoke the underlying system privileges of a compatibility role; you must first migrate it to a user-
defined role. Only then can you revoke individual underlying system privileges from the new role and grant
them to other user-defined roles per the organization's security requirements. This enforces separation of
duties.
You can migrate compatibility roles automatically or manually. The method of migration can impact the ability
of a system role or the DBO system role to continue performing authorized tasks.
Regardless of the migration method used, once a compatibility role or the SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE role is
dropped, if you revoke a system privilege from the new user-defined role and grant it to another user-defined
role, you must do one of the following to ensure that system roles especially the dbo system role, retains all

the system privileges required to execute the applicable privileged tasks or multiplex management stored
procedures:
● Grant each system privilege revoked from the migrated user-defined role directly to the applicable system
roles or dbo role; or
● Grant membership in the user-defined role to which the system privileges are granted to the applicable
system roles or dbo system role.
The system roles that are members of compatibility roles, and might potentially be impacted by migration
include:
System Role Compatibility Role
dbo SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE
SYS_AUTH_RESOURCE_ROLE
SYS_RUN_REPLICATION_ROLE SYS_AUTH_DBA_ROLE
Automatic Migration
The ALTER ROLE statement creates a new user-defined role, automatically grants all underlying system
privileges of the compatibility role to the new user-defined role, makes each member of the compatibility role a
member of the new user-defined role, then drops the compatibility role.
Automatic migration assumes that the destination user-defined role does not already exist and that all system
privileges are migrated to the same new user-defined role.
Manual Migration
Use the CREATE ROLE statement to create a new user-defined role. Use the GRANT statement to grant each
underlying system privilege to one or more users or roles. Use the DROP statement to drop the compatibility
role once all underlying system privileges are granted to at least one other user or role.
Members of the migrated compatibility role are not automatically granted membership in the new user-
defined role. As a result, members of some system roles may no longer be able to perform the expected
privileged tasks once the compatibility role is dropped. You must grant membership in the new user-defined
role to the affected system roles or directly grant the required system privileges to affected members.
13.3.9.12 Backward Compatibility in SAP IQ 16.1
Grant and revoke syntax for role-based security differs significantly from authority-based security. However,
SAP IQ 16.1 is fully backward compatible with authority-based syntax.
SAP IQ 16.1 provides well-documented mappings and stored procedures to assist in transition. All stored
procedures, functions, and queries created in pre- 16.0 databases will continue to run after upgrading.

13.3.9.13 Stored Procedure to Map Authorities to System
Roles
The sp_auth_sys_role_info stored procedure generates a report, which maps each authority to a
corresponding system role name.
A separate row is generated for each authority. No privilege is required to execute the procedure.
13.3.9.14 Connecting to SAP IQ 15.x Databases with SAP IQ

16.x
Role-based syntax is not supported in SAP IQ 15.x databases.
When using SAP IQ 16.x to connect to a 15.x database, only authority-based syntax is valid. Using role-based
syntax returns errors. For example, GRANT ROLE returns an error message; GRANT MEMBERSHIP IN GROUP
does not.
Beyond this limitation, there should be no change in functionality and no noticeable change in performance
using SAP IQ 16.x with a 15.x database.
13.4 SAP IQ Database Administration Tools
The SAP IQ database administration tool provides a personalized work center for SAP IQ.
The SAP IQ Cockpit Framework is installed as part of an SAP IQ server installation. It provides a view specific
to SAP IQ and full access to SP 02 features.
The SAP IQ Cockpit Framework manages communication between an SAP IQ Cockpit command and control
agent, SAP IQ server, and Web client. The SAP IQ Cockpit agent continually broadcasts information about the
server to subscribing clients via the SAP IQ Cockpit framework. Messages from the Web client pass through
the SAP IQ Cockpit framework to the agent, which in turn, processes the request on the SAP IQ server.
SAP IQ Cockpit activities range from simple resource monitoring to complete SAP IQ SP 02 database
administration.

13.5 SAP IQ 12.7 Upgrade and Database Migration
Updating a 12.7 catalog requires a database file migration, not a simple database upgrade. Migration tools
bundled with SAP IQ can recreate the legacy database schema and database options.
In this section:
Preparing to Migrate [page 192]

Perform these tasks before you migrate your database.
Migration Utilities [page 193]

Utilities and support tools bundled with SAP IQ.
Migration Issues [page 200]

SAP IQ no longer supports some legacy features. Run iqunload in schema unload mode to generate a
script (reload.sql) that contains the entire database schema. Compare the contents of this file to
find unsupported syntax and metadata.
Unloading Legacy Schemas [page 208]

To unload legacy schema, run iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n ) on the same
machine as the legacy schema.
Migrating Legacy Databases [page 209]

Run iqunload in database migration mode (iqunload -au) to migrate a legacy database.
Postmigration Tasks [page 225]

SAP IQ 16 databases upgraded from 12.7 are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. To complete
the change from 15.x to 16.1, you must explicitly change several 15.x compatibility settings to complete
the 16.1 upgrade.
13.5.1 Preparing to Migrate
Perform these tasks before you migrate your database.
Procedure
1. Upgrade to SAP IQ 12.7 ESD #5. All migration paths assume that you are migrating from SAP IQ 12.7 ESD
#5 as a minimum.
2. Regenerate any sort-key values. SAP IQ 12.7 SORTKEY function uses a different sort-key value than SAP IQ
15 and later.
3. Review the collation. SAP IQ no longer supports custom collations. Custom collations are preserved in
database rebuilds only if you rebuild the database in a single step. Use a collation included with SAP IQ
15.0 or later.
4. Back up your current installation and save copies of any changes you made to default login and post login
scripts. Create your backups on removable media, like tape, DVD, or CD. Make sure the backups are
readable.

5. Review and understand the database migration utilities. Use iqunload to re-create the schema for your
database or migrate your 12.7 database. iqlsunload utility is available to move 12.7 local stores for 12.7
multiplex servers.
6. Use DROP TABLE statements to drop all global temporary tables before you run the iqunload utility. You
can recreate the global temporary tables after migration.
7. Drop all servers of type asejdbc before you run the iqunload utility.
The asejdbc server class is deprecated. Servers of type asejdbc must be dropped prior to running
iqunload. 12.7 databases with remote server definitions based on the asejdbc driver will not have these
definitions migrated to by the iqunload tool and will not give an error at the beginning of an unload saying
that you need to drop any asejdbc servers (if there are any present).
8. Resolve potential migration errors. SAP IQ no longer supports some 12.7 features and objects. Update
these objects before you migrate the database.
9. Use sp_iqcheckdb to verify that your 12.7 database is clean and error free.
For information on sp_iqcheckdb output, see Administration: Backup, Restore, and Data Recovery >
System Recovery and Database Repair.

In current multiplex configurations, multiple nodes can write to the main store, which eliminates the
need for local stores. iqlsunload is a command line utility that you can use to unload a 12.7 local
store. iqlsunload is used only in 12.7 ESD #5 multiplex migrations.
Support Processes [page 199]

Running iqunload in migration mode (-au) starts iqunlspt and iqsrv16.
13.5.2.1 iqunload Utility
A command line utility for SAP IQ 12.7 database migration to re-create the legacy catalog on the new database
catalog in the current installation.
iqunload does not change SAP IQ data and temp dbspaces. The utility preserves all legacy database options
and applies them to the new database. SAP IQ ignores any legacy options that no longer apply to the current
version of the software.

Note
If you are reloading a 12.7 database, remove any square brackets or back quotes in identifiers; otherwise,
the reload fails.
Syntax
iqunload [ parameters ] <directory> [ @<data>]

<data>:[ <environment_variable> | <file> ]
Parameters
-ap size (optional) sets the page size for the new catalog store.
-au required for migration mode. Migrates the database.
Specify an -au argument to start iqunload in migration mode or -n argument, but not both.
-c "keyword = value, ..." (required) supply database connection parameters. You must specify a DBF
parameter to specify the name of the database file for migration. The file path is either absolute or relative
to the server startup directory.
-dc (optional) recalculate computed columns in the database.
-ms_filename optional for simplex migration; required for multiplex migration. Use -ms_filename to
specify a file name for the new empty IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN store created during the migration.
If not specified, the default new main store is a file system file called new_main_store.iq
-ms_reserve (optional) Specifies the size of the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN reserve, in MB. If unspecified,
defaults to zero.
-ms_size (optional) specifies the size of the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN store, in MB, based on the database
size. The minimum, assuming a default page size, is 200 MB. If you specify an –ms_size value smaller than
the computed value, SAP IQ uses the computed value; otherwise the specified value is used.
-n required for schema unload only. Unloads the schema definition only. The -n parameter requires 12.7
ESD #5 or later. Specify -au or -n argument but not both.
-new_startline (optional) specify startup switches for the new server that is the migration target. For a
complete list of server startup switches, see the Utility Guide.
-o file_name (optional) logs output messages to <file_name>.
-q (optional) suppresses messages and windows.
-r file_name (optional) specifies the file name.
-t list (optional) outputs listed tables only. Can specify OwnerName.TableName or TableName alone.
-v (optional) returns verbose messages.
-y (optional) replaces existing reload schema SQL script with new output without confirmation.

Examples
Migrates a simplex database to a current server.
iqunload –au –c
“UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=/mydevice/test_dir/test2.db”
Unloads a legacy database schema and renames the generated SQL script to test2_reload.sql:
iqunload –n -c “UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=D:\\test_dir\\test2\\test2.db;
Migrates database test3.db. The START connection parameter specifies switches for starting the database
being reloaded. The -new_startline parameter specifies switches for starting the utility_db to create
the new catalog store.
iqunload –au –c
"UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=test3.db;
START=–ch 128M –iqmc 50" –new_startline "–ch 256M –iqtc 400"
Do not include -iqnotemp <XYZ> in the new start line or migration fails. As part of the migration process,
temp files are added to IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP. If you start the server with the -iqnotemp option, iqunload
cannot add these temp files
Migrates the legacy database, asiqdemo.db, using a raw device for the IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN store:
iqunload –au –c
"UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;DBF=asiqdemo.db" –ms_filename "/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s3"
Usage
iqunload has two working modes: schema unload and migration.
Schema Unload Mode:
iqunload requires an -n argument to start in schema unload mode. Schema unload mode unloads a 12.7 ESD
#5 database schema, and generates a script (reload.sql) that can re-create the schema for a database in a
current version of the software. A -c argument is required for connection parameters:
iqunload -n -c "UID=DBA;PWD=<password>;ENG=my_engine;DBN=my_dbname"
Schema unload mode re-creates the schema, but does not migrate data. To migrate data, extract the legacy
data and load the new database.
Migration Mode:
iqunload requires an -au argument to start in migration mode. iqunload migration mode interfaces with
the 12.7 support engine (iqunlspt) and the current database server (iqsrv16):
● Start the legacy database and generate the schema

● Start the current SAP IQ server
● Create a new database and apply the legacy schema

General Usage
● Insufficient cache memory causes migration errors. iqunload uses default values for various cache sizes
(catalog cache, main buffer cache, temp cache). If the legacy database requires higher cache values, use
the –ch and -cl options as part of the START connection parameter to increase the cache size.
● During database migration, the server creates a message file (*.iqmsg.R) as it reloads the generated
schema. This file is normally deleted as part of a cleanup operation for successful migrations. If the
migration fails during the reload stage, cleanup does not occur, and *.iqmsg.R remains in the unload
directory. *.iqmsg.R may contain information that can help solve your migration problems.
● iqunload writes some temporary files to the $IQTMP16 (for UNIX) or %IQTMP16% (for Windows)
directory, which must be a valid directory name.
● Users with wide tables (large numbers of column/null values) should not decrease the catalog store page
size for database migration.
● If the legacy database contains invalid views, SAP IQ completes the migration but issues warnings. A
warning may occur, for example, if the tables involved in a view are dropped.
● If the legacy database is encrypted, use the DBKEY connection parameter to provide the encryption key.
The migrated database uses the same encryption key.

13.5.2.2 iqlsunload Utility
In current multiplex configurations, multiple nodes can write to the main store, which eliminates the need for
local stores. iqlsunload is a command line utility that you can use to unload a 12.7 local store. iqlsunload
is used only in 12.7 ESD #5 multiplex migrations.
iqlsunload is bundled with all versions of SAP IQ starting with 12.7 ESD #5.
Syntax
iqlsunload [ <options> ] <directory> [ @<data> ]

<data>:[ <environment variable> | <file> ]
Parameters
● directory (required) identifies the directory where iqlsunload unloads the data files. Create this
directory before you run iqlsunload, or point to an existing directory. This directory must be relative to
the database on the database server.
● -al (optional) unloads IQ local store schema and data.
● -c “keyword=value;...” (optional) supplies database connection parameters.
● -h (optional) prints out the syntax (help) for the utility.
● -o filename (optional) logs output messages, including errors, to <filename>.
● -q (optional) suppresses messages and windows.
● -r directory (optional) specifies the directory where SQL scripts are generated. The default reload
command file is reload.sql in the current directory. The directory is relative to the current directory of
the client application, not the server.
● -t list (optional) outputs listed tables only. Can specify OwnerName.TableName or TableName alone.
Cannot be specified with al argument.
● -v (optional) outputs verbose messages.
● -y (optional) replaces existing reload schema SQL script without confirmation.
Examples
Example 1
unload local stores from a database called mpxtest2, extracting any table data to the directory /
mydevice/test_dir/unload_dir :
iqlsunload -o iqunload_624.out -al

-c “UID=DBA;PWD=SQL;ENG=myserver_mpxtest02”
/mydevice/test_dir/unload_dir
Usage
General Notes
● Run iqlsunload from the $IQDIR16/lsunload directory to pick up updated libraries before resolving
any IQ 12.7 libraries.
Unloaded Objects
Running iqlsunload with an -al argument unloads these persistent objects:
● Base tables

● Global temporary tables
● Indexes
● Domains (user-defined data types)
● Constraints (column check constraint, table constraint, primary key, foreign key, unique, default, IQ
unique, not null)
● Views
● Stored procedures and functions
● Messages
● Remote servers and external logins
● Events
Empty User Names

SAP IQ no longer allow users with empty user names. You cannot drop or migrate users with empty user
names the 12.6 or 12.7 server. The schema reload operation warns that an empty user name has been
encountered and that the user will not be re-created. The reload operation ignores such users and any
associated objects.
Unloading Tables
iqlsunload ignores any system tables or nonexistent tables:
● If you extract table schema and data only, the legacy database collation must match the collation of the
current database collation.
● If you do not qualify table names with owner names, iqlsunload extracts table data from all tables with
that table name.
Output Files
iqlsunload generates these output files:
Script Name Description
reload_schema.sql Re-creates schema for unloaded objects (either objects from local store or tables
selected by the user.) This script is executed against a node that writes to the
multiplex. This node can be either the existing writer node, or a writer or coordina
tor for the multiplex after migration, depending on where you plan to recreate the
schema.
extract_data.sql Extracts table data for the unloaded tables from the local store. Execute this script
in Interactive SQL while connected to the query node from which it was generated.
When this script executes, it generates the data files into the directory data.
reload_data.sql Loads extracted table data. This script is executed on the node where you ran
reload_schema.sql, and reloads the data extracted from the
extract_data.sql file.

13.5.2.3 Support Processes
Running iqunload in migration mode (-au) starts iqunlspt and iqsrv16.
iqunlspt
iqunlspt is a self-contained subset of the SAP IQ 12.7 (ESD #5) database engine. It runs as a background
process and provides support for legacy database unloads. iqunlspt starts on your legacy database with
these options as defaults:
iqunlspt -iqnotemp 100 -iqro 1 -c 48MB -gc 20 -gd

all -gk all -gl all -gm 1 -gu all -ti 4400 -x shmem .
If your database requires special switches or memory setting, iqunlspt accepts additional startup
arguments. See the Utility Guide.
Default cache settings are sufficient for most migrations. At migration, data queries execute against the
system catalogs, not IQ data, so the iqunlspt engine needs lower cache levels than complex queries or
multiple concurrent users. The amount of time required to start the legacy database is the same as to start
iqunlspt. This time is included in the iqunload startup time.
iqsrv16
iqunload starts iqsrv16 with these options:
iqsrv16 -gp 4096 -c 40p -gc 20 -gd all -gk all -gl all
-gm 1 -gu all -qi -qs -ti 4400
iqsrv16 also includes the -n parameter followed by a special randomly generated server name. The -c 40p
setting provides a larger cache for the catalog store, allowing the server engine to execute many schema DDL
statements. Both server start commands use the default values for -iqmc and -iqtc. If the legacy server
requires larger startup values, use the -c switch to increase the server cache memory.

13.5.3.3 Schema Size
Increase the cache memory to migrate large and extremely large schemas.
Large Schemas
Default cache settings for large schemas may be too small and can exhaust dynamic memory in the iqsrv16
server. Use the -c switch to increase the server cache memory and -new_startline to pass the switch to
the server.
A diagnostic example includes these switches:
-ca 1
-c 1000m
-o /iq15outputdir/iq16console.out
● -ca 1 – enables dynamic catalog cache sizing, and logs memory cache statistics to the console.
● -c 1000m – sets the initial catalog cache at 1 GB.
● -o /outputdir/iq16console.out – specifies the log file for console output.
Use a text editor to examine the .out file log entries. Watch how the catalog store adjusts the cache and
determines if the setting is appropriate.
Note
The value shown for -c is in bytes. Set switches appropriately for your system. To specify megabytes, use
the m suffix, as shown.
Extremely Large Schemas
Running iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n) generates a single script (reload.sql ) that
includes the entire legacy schema. In some cases, you may need to break a very large reload.sql file into
pieces that can be executed sequentially. This also helps the server manage the cache.
If iqunload fails in migration mode (iqunload -au) because dynamic memory is exhausted, set the cache
settings as high as your hardware and operating system limitations allow. If the failure continues, contact SAP
for assistance.

13.5.3.5 Data Storage Changes
SAP IQ 16.1 migration creates a new catalog store and changes some legacy options.
Dbspaces
In current versions of SAP IQ, all user data should reside in a user dbspace comprised of one or more files.
Migration converts main dbspaces into files under one user dbspace: IQ_MAIN, for the SAP IQ main store, and
temporary dbspaces into files under a single temporary dbspace, IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP, for a single SAP IQ
temporary store. Existing catalog store dbspaces remain as dbspaces with a single file. All of the old main
dbspaces become files in the new iq_main user main dbspace. Migration sets the
PUBLIC.default_dbspace option to the value iq_main.
Logical names for files created from converted dbspaces are the dbspace name followed by an underscore
and the file ID. For example, a main dbspace with file ID 16384 becomes IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN_16384.
Main Store
Migration creates a new system file for the IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace that contains no tables. By default, the
name of this file is new_main_store.iq, but you can use the ms_filename argument to specify a different
file name. The iqunload utility computes the size of the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN based on the size of your
existing database.
If you accept the default settings for iqunload -au -c, the new store marked as MAIN has DBSpaceName =
IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN, DBFileName = IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN and path = new_main_store.iq. For multiplex
migration, the location of the new main store must be visible to all nodes on the multiplex, and you must use
the -ms_filename argument to specify the path instead of the default value of new_main_store.iq.
When you migrate a database, specify the file to use for the new IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN dbspace, its name,
whether or not to use a raw device, and the size of the main store and its reserve.
Migrating IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN
Specify the IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN size in the database migration command. The -ms_size parameter requires a
value in MB, not GB. Omit -ms_size and -ms_reserve to specify a raw device. For a raw device, you must
specify an unused raw partition.
This statement creates an IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN on a raw device:
iqunload -au -ms_filename /dev/rdsk/c1t0d1 -c "UID=DBA;PWD=SQL;DBF=latest.db"

13.5.4 Unloading Legacy Schemas

To unload legacy schema, run iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n ) on the same machine as
the legacy schema.
Procedure
1. Copy these files from <$IQDIR16>/unload to <$ASDIR>/scripts:
○ unloadold.sql
○ unload.sql
○ optdeflt.sql
○ opttemp.sql
2. Start the legacy server.
3. Run iqunload in schema unload mode (iqunload -n ).
Include the appropriate connection parameters and other startup options. Schema unload mode creates
a SQL script (reload.sql) in the current directory that contains the legacy database schema.
reload.sql does not contain any checkpoints. For very large schemas, edit reload.sql, to add a few
checkpoints. If you do not include extra checkpoints, IQ generates additional metadata objects that
requires extra (-iqmc) main cache memory.
reload.sql also contains a CREATE DATABASE template command that is commented out.
4. Create a new 16.1 database.
Set the IQ SIZE and TEMPORARY SIZE clauses to create an IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN of 10 GB and
IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP of 5 GB. For example:
CREATE DATABASE 'test.db'

IQ PATH 'test.iq'
IQ SIZE 10240
TEMPORARY PATH 'test.iqtmp'
TEMPORARY SIZE 5120
5. Start and connect to the new database.

6. Run the reload.sql against the new database.
Execution time roughly approximates the actual time to allow for database migration, excluding validation
checks. Correct any errors. Perform this process iteratively until you can cleanly load the legacy schema.

13.5.5 Migrating Legacy Databases
Run iqunload in database migration mode (iqunload -au) to migrate a legacy database.

Make sure that the database file is not in use, and run the iqunload utility with the -au (migrate
database) and -c (connection parameters).
2. Verifying the Migrated Database [page 210]
To verify simplex migration, start the migrated database in read-only mode and perform post-
migration tasks.
13.5.5.1.1 Migrating the Legacy Database
Make sure that the database file is not in use, and run the iqunload utility with the -au (migrate database)
and -c (connection parameters).
This command migrates the simplex database mytest and saves output in unload.out in the current
directory:
iqunload –au –c "uid=DBA;pwd=SQL;dbf=mytest" –o unload.out
The database and the iqunload utility must be on the same machine to migrate the database, or iqunload
returns an error. -o is an optional switch that sends a copy of the console output to the specified log file, here
named unload.out.
Because the example specified DBF=mytest.db, the iqunload utility attempts to connect to this database in
the current directory. You can also specify the full path to the database, as shown here:
iqunload -au -c
"dbf=/ybrown/iq-16/unload/iq127db.db;uid=DBA;pwd=SQL"

If you run the procedure from Interactive SQL, redirect output to a file by entering:
dbisql -c "..." "sp_iqcheckdb ('verify database')" >& filename
where “...” represents startup parameters for your database.

4. Issue a COMMIT statement.
5. Check sp_iqcheckdb results for errors.
If there is an error, you can revert to the previous database as long as you do not restart the database in
write mode. To revert to the 12.7 catalog , copy all the .before_schema_reload files to the same file
without the .before_schema_load file extension.
6. After you perform the read-only checks, stop the database server and restart in write mode.

13.5.5.2 Multiplex Migration
Migrate multiplex databases, performing all steps in sequence.
1. Synchronizing the Multiplex Nodes [page 212]

Check the SQL Remote and multiplex server log files for synchronization problems.
2. Migrate Local Stores [page 213]
To move the 12.7 local stores before migration, use iqlsunload.
3. Start the Multiplex Write Server [page 218]
To clean the internal state information, start the write server in single-node mode.
4. Multiplex Migration Parameters [page 219]
To migrate the multiplex, run iqunload with the appropriate parameters.
5. Verifying the Migrated Multiplex Database [page 221]
Verify the migrated database in read-only mode and correct any errors.

6. Starting the Coordinator [page 222]
Starting the multiplex coordinator in single-node mode (-iqmpx_sn) and read-only (-iqro) performs
some initial database checks. For coordinators, the server must reset an identity cookie before you
can use the multiplex.
7. Manually Synchronize the Secondary Nodes [page 222]
To start the secondary nodes, install SAP IQ 16.1, then synchronize from the coordinator node. When
you migrate a query node, it becomes a reader node.
8. Start the Secondary Nodes [page 223]
To start the secondary nodes, all nodes of the multiplex must be running.
9. Set the Failover Node [page 224]
After you migrate the multiplex data, connect to the coordinator, and set the failover node.
10. Troubleshooting Multiplex Migration [page 224]
If you cannot migrate your multiplex database, try this alternate method.
13.5.5.2.1 Synchronizing the Multiplex Nodes
Check the SQL Remote and multiplex server log files for synchronization problems.
Procedure
1. Start the multiplex server.

2. Start SQL Remote on all multiplex nodes.
Give the multiplex time to propagate any changes throughout the multiplex. To do this, look at the write
server console log file and check that the events starting with ev_iqmpx have successfully executed. By
default, the server console log file is created in $ASDIR/logfiles.
For example:
Now accepting requestsOS Available: 933096K, Working Set: 83988K, Cache

Target: 11483K
OS Available: 860680K, Working Set: 83996K, Cache Target: 11483K
Next time for 'ev_iqmpxq2w' is 2008/11/23 22:03:00.000
Next time for 'ev_iqmpxstatus' is 2008/11/23 22:03:00.000
3. Wait for SQL Remote to scan the log files, then view the logs.
Wait for SQL Remote to process any messages:
I. 11/23 22:06:10. Scanning logs starting at offset 0001787252

I. 11/23 22:06:10. Hovering at end of active log
4. Shut down SQL Remote and multiplex servers.

If you simply shut down the multiplex servers, the SQL Remote servers detect that the multiplex servers
are no longer running and shut themselves down. By default, the SQL Remote servers should shut
themselves down within 60 seconds.
5. Shut down query servers in the multiplex. They are no longer required.
6. If the logs report no errors, verify the database.
Task overview: Multiplex Migration [page 211]
Next: Migrate Local Stores [page 213]
13.5.5.2.2 Migrate Local Stores
To move the 12.7 local stores before migration, use iqlsunload.
To migrate your local store, consolidate node-specific information into either the existing 12.7 writer or the
new SAP IQ 16.1 main store. Customize the process to meet your data requirements.
For query nodes with node- or department-specific information, use tablespaces and partitioning to achieve
the same results.
If information is duplicated across your query nodes, you may need to migrate only a single query server's
local store. The duplicated information on the other query servers becomes redundant and can be ignored for
multiplex migration.
In this section:
Partitioning Query Server Data [page 214]

If the same table exists on multiple query nodes, and each node has its own subset of the data,
manually edit the local store migration scripts.
Addressing Overlapping Query Server Data [page 214]

If the same table exists on each query node with overlapping data sets, you must resolve the issue.
Extract the data files to ensure that data sets are unique, or rename the tables and then reload all the
unique tables.

13.5.5.2.2.1 Partitioning Query Server Data
If the same table exists on multiple query nodes, and each node has its own subset of the data, manually edit
the local store migration scripts.
Context
For a department-specific employee table on each query server, follow these basic steps:
Procedure
1. Unload the schema and data from the query nodes.
The reload_schema.sql script produced for each query node contains the same schema definition for
employee.
2. Execute the reload_schema.sql from one of the query nodes against either the existing 12.7 writer or
the new SAP IQ 16.1 main store.
3. Execute the reload_data.sql script from each of the query nodes against the same server.
This procedure creates the employee table once but loads each query node data set.
Task overview: Migrate Local Stores [page 213]

13.5.5.2.2.2 Addressing Overlapping Query Server Data
If the same table exists on each query node with overlapping data sets, you must resolve the issue. Extract the
data files to ensure that data sets are unique, or rename the tables and then reload all the unique tables.
Procedure
1. Run iqlsunload against all query servers with local stores that have the data to consolidate.

2. Modify the reload_schema.sql and reload_data.sql files to use the new table names. Do not modify
extract_data.sql; it references the table found in the query server's local store.
3. Run extract_data.sql from each node.
Results
The following example shows modifications to the iqlsunload output to carry out step 2. Suppose that the
reload_schema.sql script contains:
CREATE TABLE "DBA"."sales_order"
"id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (648),

"cust_id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (111),
"order_date" "datetime" NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (376),
"fin_code_id" char(2) NULL IQ UNIQUE (1),
"region" char(7) NULL IQ UNIQUE (5),
"sales_rep" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (75),
PRIMARY KEY ("id"),
Modify reload_schema.sql to:
CREATE TABLE "DBA"."q1_sales_order"

"id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (648),
"cust_id" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (111),
"order_date" "datetime" NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (376),
"fin_code_id" char(2) NULL IQ UNIQUE (1),
"region" char(7) NULL IQ UNIQUE (5),
"sales_rep" unsigned int NOT NULL IQ UNIQUE (75),
PRIMARY KEY ("id"),
extract_data.sql contains:
---- Extract Table Data for table sales_order

-- NOTE: Approximately 57672 bytes of storage space.
-- will be required to extract the data for this table.
--
-- The following will unload the data for table
sales_order, row group 1, column group 1
SET TEMPORARY OPTION temp_extract_name1 =

SELECT id, cust_id, order_date,
IFNULL(fin_code_id, @null_string, fin_code_id),
IFNULL(region, @null_string, region), sales_rep
FROM "DBA"."sales_order"

WHERE rowid( "sales_order" ) >= 1
AND rowid( "sales_order" ) <= 648;
SET TEMPORARY OPTION temp_extract_name1 = '';

Leave extract_data.sql code unchanged to extract the sales_order table from the query server.
Suppose that reload_data.sql contains:
-- Reload Table Data for table "sales_order"

This example shows query server schema and data that require intervention during migration. Your situation
may vary, but you have complete control of the content of the final reload_schema.sql and

13.5.5.2.2.3 Moving Local Stores
Unload and move the 12.7 local stores.
Prerequisites
Upgrade to SAP IQ 12.7 ESD #5 or later.

Procedure
1. Source the ASIQ-12_7.sh or .csh file.

2. Run the 12.7 iqlsunload utility against each query server with a local store.
3. Edit reload_schema.sql:
○ Delete unwanted objects.
○ Change any commented objects in the reload_schema.sql that you want to reload.
○ Add commands to define any objects that you defined in sp_mpxcfg_<servername> procedures.
4. Edit extract_data.sql to remove objects you do not want to migrate. These objects are generally the
same ones you removed from reload_schema.sql.
5. Use Interactive SQL to run extract_data.sql from your 12.7 local store.
You now have unloaded the schema and data for local objects in the 12.7 local store.
6. Run the reload_schema.sql and reload_data.sql scripts against the 12.7 write server.
Note
If you prefer, wait until the write server has been migrated to version 16.1 and run reload_schema.sql
and reload_data.sql against the new coordinator.
Related Information

13.5.5.2.3 Start the Multiplex Write Server
To clean the internal state information, start the write server in single-node mode.
Note
You must specify your login and password as arguments to the start_server script.
Start the writer node with the server arguments -gm 1 and -iqmpx_sn 1:
-gm 1 -iqmpx_sn 1
If you use administrative startup scripts, create a copy of the start_server.sh script to start the write
server you want to migrate. For example, copy the existing file start_server.sh to a new file called
start_server_single_node.sh.

Suppose that start_server.sh contains this startup command:
start_asiq -STARTDIR /work/iq-127/mpx/main @/work/iq-

127/mpx/main/params.cfg -n mpx_main $readonly $nomain -
x tcpip{port=62631} /work/iq-127/mpx/main/main.db
$dbkey
Add the two single node startup arguments to change the preceding command as follows in
start_server_single_node.sh:
start_asiq -STARTDIR /work/iq-127/mpx/main @/work/iq-

127/mpx/main/params.cfg -n mpx_main -gm 1 -iqmpx_sn 1
$readonly $nomain -x tcpip{port=62631} /work/iq-127/
mpx/main/main.db $dbkey
There are now two script files, start_server.sh and start_server_single_node.sh to make the server
ready for migration:
1. Start the writer node with start_server_single_node.sh.

2. Shut down the writer node.
3. Start the writer node with start_server.sh.
4. Shut down the writer node.
5. Shut down the SAP Sybase IQ 12.7 server.
Previous: Migrate Local Stores [page 213]
Next: Multiplex Migration Parameters [page 219]
13.5.5.2.4 Multiplex Migration Parameters
To migrate the multiplex, run iqunload with the appropriate parameters.
Minimum required parameters for a multiplex writer are -au (migrate database), -c (connection parameters),
ENG= connection parameter and -ms_filename. The ENG= value must match the existing server name in SAP
IQ 12.7, and the -ms_filename specifies the new main store for the migrated writer. This path must be the
same for all nodes in the multiplex.
There are two differences in the way you will execute the iqunload utility for multiplex:
● Specify the engine name in the -c connection parameters. This is the same name that your <mpx_dir>/
<writer_node>/start_server script file uses to start the writer node. The iqunload utility initially
attempts to start the database server as simplex. This start requires the name of the server to match the
naming conventions for the multiplex nodes. Once iqunload detects that the server is a multiplex node, it
shuts the node down and restarts it using the -iqmpx_sn 1 option.
● The name of the new main store must be visible and accessible by all nodes of the multiplex. This is
important because the main store file name defaults to new_system_main.iq, and its location is relative
to the catalog database file (.db). Later, when you synchronize the SAP IQ 16.1 multiplex, the catalog is
replicated to the secondary nodes, formerly known as the query nodes. If you leave the default value for

the main store name unchanged, the path remains new_system_main.iq and secondary nodes cannot
find the shared main store.
For multiplex writers, required arguments are:
● ENG – argument specifies the multiplex main engine name. iqunload attempts to start the database and
determine whether the database is a simplex or multiplex. If multiplex, the server name is enforced. If you
are unsure of the server name, check the administrative script start_server in the database directory.
● DBF – argument must specify the actual path used to create the multiplex. If you are unsure of this, look at
the SYSIQFILE table in your 12.7 server to verify the database path.
● -ms_filename – argument specifies the location of the new main store. This path must be visible and
accessible by all servers in the multiplex.
For example:
iqunload -au -v -c
"uid=DBA;pwd=SQL;dbf=/sunx5prod/users/marshall/mpx127/
w1/w1.db;eng=w1_1234" -ms_filename

Next task: Verifying the Migrated Multiplex Database [page 221]
13.5.5.2.5 Verifying the Migrated Multiplex Database
Verify the migrated database in read-only mode and correct any errors.
Procedure
1. Start the database using the read-only switch, -iqro 1. Start the coordinator (the 12.7 write server) using
both -iqro 1 and single node mode, -iqmpx_sn 1.
When starting the coordinator in 16.1, use the same port used by the 12.7 writer server.
2. Issue a CHECKPOINT command.
3. Run sp_iqcheckdb in verify mode:
sp_iqcheckdb 'verify database'
4. Issue a COMMIT statement.
Results
The server is currently in read-only mode, and cannot complete some post migration tasks. Additionally, the
verification reports some problems with Block Count Mismatch, Blocks Leaked, and Unallocated Blocks in
Use. No other segments of the verify database should report any errors.
For example:
'** Block Count Mismatch','79','*****'

'** Blocks Leaked','25','*****'
'** Unallocated Blocks in Use','104','*****'
Examine the sp_iqcheckdb report for errors. If you need to contact SAP Technical Support, you must
provide the output from sp_iqcheckdb.

Next: Starting the Coordinator [page 222]

13.5.5.2.6 Starting the Coordinator
Starting the multiplex coordinator in single-node mode (-iqmpx_sn) and read-only (-iqro) performs some
initial database checks. For coordinators, the server must reset an identity cookie before you can use the
multiplex.
Once you successfully restart the coordinator with iqro 1 and iqmpx_sn 1, shut it down and restart it
without any special switches.
For example:
start_iq @params.cfg -n mpx_main -iqmpx_ov 1 -x 'tcpip{port=62631}' /workserver/

Next task: Manually Synchronize the Secondary Nodes [page 222]
13.5.5.2.7 Manually Synchronize the Secondary Nodes
To start the secondary nodes, install SAP IQ 16.1, then synchronize from the coordinator node. When you
migrate a query node, it becomes a reader node.
Procedure
1. Back up the query node files. Back up existing catalog .db, catalog .log and iqmsg files.
For example:
rename /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.db
/sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.db.before_schema_reload
rename /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.log /sunx5prod/users/work/
iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.log.before_schema_reload
rename /sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.iqmsg
/sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1/q1.iqmsg.before_schema_reload
2. Issue a dbbackup command to synchronize servers. You might have a different name for the query node's
catalog file, depending on your configuration. In the following example, q1.db is the catalog file name on
the query node:
dbbackup -y -x -c
"uid=dba;pwd=sql;eng=mpx_main;dbf=/sunx5prod/users/
work/iq-127/mpx/main/main.db"
/sunx5prod/users/work/iq-127/mpx/q1

SQL Anywhere Backup Utility Version 11.0.1.5533 Debug
(702 of 699 pages, 100% complete)
Transaction log truncated
Database backup completed
3. If your query nodes do not use a different catalog database name, skip to step 4.
Step 2 synchronizes the catalog database file from the coordinator. If you prefer to use the same catalog
database file name as the coordinator, adjust any server start and stop administration scripts on the
secondary nodes to use the new name.
To retain the same catalog database file names:

○ Rename the synchronized coordinator catalog database file name. For example, assuming the
coordinator file was called main.db and the secondary server was called q1.db, enter:
mv main.db q1.db
rename main.db q1.db
○ Rename the log file for the query node. This is necessary as the file renamed above still contains an
internal pointer to main.log:
dblog -t q1.log q1.db
4. Start the secondary server in normal mode:
start_iq @params.cfg -n mpx_q1 -x

'tcpip{port=62632}' -o /worksrver/work/
iq-127/mpx/q1/o.out -Z -zr all -zo /worksrver/
iq-127/mpx/q1/zo.out /workserver/work/
iq-127/mpx/q1/main.db
The above command line is derived from your existing query server start_server administration script.
5. Repeat these steps on the remaining secondary nodes that you want to migrate.
Previous: Starting the Coordinator [page 222]
Next task: Start the Secondary Nodes [page 223]
13.5.5.2.8 Start the Secondary Nodes
To start the secondary nodes, all nodes of the multiplex must be running.
Procedure
Start the secondary servers with the command line startup utility.

For example:
start_iq @params.cfg -n <server_name> database_file.db
Where <<server_name> specifies the secondary server. You can obtain the name from the existing start
server administration script. The specified database_file.db is the name resulting after you performed the
secondary node synchronization.

13.5.5.2.10 Troubleshooting Multiplex Migration
If you cannot migrate your multiplex database, try this alternate method.
● Drop all query nodes, to change the SAP IQ 12.7 multiplex to a simplex database.
● Follow the steps for simplex databases to migrate the database to SAP IQ 16.1.
● Convert the simplex SAP IQ 16.1 database to multiplex, following the steps in Administration: Multiplex >
Create Multiplex Servers > Converting Databases to Multiplex.

Previous task: Set the Failover Node [page 224]
13.5.6 Postmigration Tasks
SAP IQ 16 databases upgraded from 12.7 are initially set to run in 15.x compatibility mode. To complete the
change from 15.x to 16.1, you must explicitly change several 15.x compatibility settings to complete the 16.1
upgrade.
Indexes
● In Fast Projection (FP) indexes, continuous NBit dictionary compression replaces FP(1), FP(2), and
FP(3) byte dictionary compression. FP(1), FP(2), and FP(3) indexes roll over to NBit(8), NBit(16),
and NBit(24) respectively. All data types except LOB (both character and binary) and BIT data types
may be NBit columns.
If FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY is OFF, IQ UNIQUE determines whether the column loads as Flat
FP or NBit. Setting IQ UNIQUE to 0 loads the column as Flat FP. Columns without an IQ UNIQUE
constraint load as NBit up to the NBit auto-sizing limits.
● New tiered HG index structure decouples load performance from HG index size. In 15.x, load throughput
could degrade as the amount of data in an HG index increased. As the index grew, loading the same
amount of data could take more time. The new tiered structure decouples load performance from the HG
index size to increase throughput.
Constraints
Constraint Description
IQ UNIQUE In SAP IQ 16.1, IQ UNIQUE explicitly defines the expected cardinality of a col
umn and determines whether the column loads as Flat FP or NBit. Col
umns retain their IQ UNIQUE(<n>) value during a 15.x to 16.1 database up
grade.
Setting IQ UNIQUE to 0 loads the column as Flat FP. Columns without an

IQ UNIQUE constraint or columns with an IQ UNIQUE <n> value that is
less than the limit defined by the FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT option is not
necessary. Auto-size functionality automatically sizes all low or medium cardin
ality columns as NBit. Use IQ UNIQUE in cases where you want to where
you want to load the column as Flat FP or when you want to load as NBit
and the number of distinct values exceeds the auto-size limits.

Options
Option Description
FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY Provides tokenized FP support similar to that available in 15.x. This option is ON
by default in all 16.1 databases upgraded from 15.x and OFF in all newly created
16.1 databases.
● If this option is ON, the database engine uses the MINIMIZE_STORAGE,

FP_LOOKUP_SIZE, and FP_LOOKUP_SIZE_PPM options to optimize
column storage. These options are ignored in 16.1.
● If this option is OFF, the database engine ignores 15.x options and columns
conform to SAP IQ NBit storage options.
Set this option to OFF to take advantage of NBit column compression.
CREATE_HG_WITH_EXACT_DISTIN Determines whether new HG indexes explicitly created with a CREATE INDEX
CTS command, or implicitly creating or altering a table with a PRIMARY KEY or a
FOREIGN KEY declaration, are tiered or non-tiered. This option is ON in 16.1 da
tabases upgraded from 15.x and all newly created 16.1 databases. If this option is
ON, all new HG indexes are non-tiered. To take advantage of the new tiered HG
index structure, set this option to OFF.
Use sp_iqrebuildindex to convert non-tiered HG indexes to tiered HG and

vice versa.
CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICA Governs 16.1 delete behavior for tiered HG indexes. This option determines
L_DELETE whether SAP IQ performs a physical delete immediately or defers the delete to a
point later in the load.
CREATE_HG_AND_FORCE_PHYSICAL_DELETE is ON by default, which in

structs SAP IQ to perform physical deletes.
REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER forces the query optimizer to mimic SAP IQ

15.x behavior. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER='ON' by default in all 16.1 data
bases upgraded from 15.x. REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER='OFF' by default in
all newly created SAP IQ 16.1 databases.
If you plan to use SAP IQ hash partitioning features, set the

REVERT_TO_V15_OPTIMIZER ='OFF' in databases upgraded from 15.x to
16.1.
Object Names
Reserved words cannot be used as object names.
An SAP IQ 15.x database could contain tables, columns, and other objects named row. In SAP IQ 16.1, row is a
reserved word and cannot be used as an object name.

To use a reserved word as an object name, enclosed the object name in brackets (regardless of the
QUOTED_IDENTIFIER setting) or double quotes (if QUOTED_IDENTIFIER='ON' [default]):
Stored Procedures
Use these stored procedures to review and change column indexes and constraints:
Procedure Description
sp_iqcolumnmetadata Returns index metadata for all columns in one or more ta
bles.
sp_iqindexmetadata Returns details about column indexes, including the index

types (Flat FP, NBit, HG, and tiered HG), distinct
counts, IQ UNIQUE <n> value, and NBit dictionary size.
sp_iqrebuildindex Rebuilds FP indexes (Flat FP as NBit, or NBit as Flat

FP) and HG indexes (single HG as tiered HG, or tiered HG as
single HG). Before you can insert or update new data, you
must rebuild all columns greater than 255 bytes wide.
The index_clause can reset IQ UNIQUE <n> to an

explicit value from 0 (to recast an NBit column to Flat
FP) up to the limits defined in the
FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT and
FP_NBIT_LOOKUP_MB options.
sp_iqrebuildindex also enables read-write access to

columns that contain large object (LOB) data. LOB columns
migrated from 15.x databases are read-only until you run
sp_iqrebuildindex.
The estimated cardinality for NBit columns with an IQ

UNIQUE value below or equal to the
FP_NBIT_AUTOSIZE_LIMIT is stored as 0 regardless of
the FP_NBIT_IQ15_COMPATIBILITY setting. This af
fects the value returned from sp_iqindexmetadata.
sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata Identifies wide columns that you must rebuild before they
are available for read/write activities.
sp_iqindexrebuildwidedata also generates a list of
statements that you can use to rebuild the columns.
This applies to CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, and VARBINARY

columns wider than > 255 characters, as well as all Long
Varchar and Long Binary columns.

Re-create Indexes for EUC_TAIWAN Data
In SAP IQ 15 and later, the character encoding specification for the EUC–TAIWAN collation now uses the
EUC_TW character set. You must re-create indexes on data in version 12.7 or earlier databases that use the
EUC_TAIWAN collation to make them work with SAP IQ 16.
Update Configuration Files
Compare your existing params.cfg files with the new default.cfg file created by the installation. The
installation does not update or overwrite existing params.cfg files. In each params.cfg file, update any
parameter defaults that differ from those in the default.cfg file, while maintaining any customized
parameter settings that are appropriate for your system. Add any new startup parameters in default.cfg to
your params.cfg file. The -gl parameter, for example, is required for server startup in version 12.5 and later.
Preserve Database Options
SAP IQ preserves the settings of all 12.7 database options that are still valid in migrated databases. Check for
deprecated features.
Back Up Your Databases
● Back up your databases again with the BACKUP statement. If you use the BACKUP statement instead of a
system–level backup, you can run backups and queries concurrently.
● For a multiplex migration, back up only the coordinator only in this manner. For secondary servers, run the
dbbackup utility from the secondary server directory.

13.6 Hardware Changes
Perform these steps to move your software to a new hardware platform.
In this section:
Moving 32-Bit Databases to 64-bit Platforms [page 229]

Perform these steps to move a 32-bit database to a 64-bit platform.
Converting to a New Hardware Platform [page 230]

Perform these steps to move a database to another platform with the same endian structure.
13.6.1 Moving 32-Bit Databases to 64-bit Platforms
Perform these steps to move a 32-bit database to a 64-bit platform.
Prerequisites
● Review backup and restore procedures in SAP IQ Administration: Backup, Restore, and Data Recovery.
● Make note of the 32-bit server raw device and IQ store path names. Raw device and IQ store path names
on the 64-bit target must match those on the 32-bit machine.
Procedure
1. Log in to your 32-bit server and backup the database.

2. Copy the backup to the 64-bit machine, and restore the database.
You may need to rename raw device and path names to ensure that they match.
3. On the 64-bit machine, do one of the following:
Server Action
Simplex Start the database with the appropriate startup flags.
Multiplex Start the coordinator with the -iqmpx_sn 1, -gm 1 , -iqro 1, and -
iqmpx_ov 1 startup flags.

5. Use DROP MULTIPLEX SERVER to drop all existing secondary nodes.
6. Use ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE to upgrade the database.
See ALTER DATABASE Statement in SAP IQ SQL Reference.
7. Run sp_iqcheckdb ('allocation database') and verify that the database is error free.
sp_iqcheckdb checks the validity of the current database. See sp_iqcheckdb Procedure in SAP IQ SQL
Reference.
8. Perform these steps for multiplex servers only:
a. Shut down and restart the coordinator normally (without the -gm 1 , -iqro 1, and -iqmpx_ov
startup flags).
b. Use CREATE MULTIPLEX SERVER STATEMENT to recreate the secondary nodes.
13.6.2 Converting to a New Hardware Platform
Perform these steps to move a database to another platform with the same endian structure.
Context
Platforms must share the same endian structure. Move your database, then migrate your data.
Procedure

2. Shut down the SAP IQ server.
3. Install the server on the new platform. Your migration can take place on the same or a different machine.
4. Start the server on the new hardware platform.
5. Connect to the utility database, utility_db.
6. Restore the database from the backup you created in step 1.
7. Shut down the server and restart it against the restored database.
8. Start Interactive SQL and run ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE.
Results
Note
If the SAP IQ version is more recent than the version on legacy platform, you must upgrade the database.
