Hi ,

I have one background step in my custom workflow which fetches the agent from tables.

in one workitem , actaul agent is shown as user in stead of WF-BATCH and as per history it was completed by that user .

How can a background step which takes 1 second to complete is completed by dialog user and taking 3-4 mins.

These is no short dump in that period.

workitem was never in error status as you can see.

user was always a dialog one ,checked in su01

workflow admin was always WF-BATCH ,checked SWU3.

Dear Team,

We have configured JCO destination, when we are ping and test, it's giving an error i.e., Connect to message server host failed, Connection parameters" like that. also find below screen shot and suggest me what can we do here and how to move forward.

WWI_GENPC RFC connection is failing even the WWI_GENPC service is in "started" status. So we have to restart the service in CGSADM and activated the SV001 WWI job in CG5Z to fix the issue.

We couldn't find any related logs in the server. What might be the possible cause of RFC failing? Is it related with the network?

I attached the screenshots related in this issue.

Hi Experts,

we have a requirement to pick the files from AL11 directory, where the inventory files [XML] will be placed by the program.

SAP R/3 ---> SAP PI ---> FTP 1

                                ----> FTP2

                                ----> FTP3

                                ----> FTP4 ..... FTP7.

It is bypass scenario and we can segregate the files based on the company code.

How to route the messages to the 7 FTP servers.

we can do the following

1) Create 7 business services / 7 sender channels / 7 Sender agreements

Do we have any simple approach to achieve this requirement.

Thanks

Dear Experts ,

We are in the plan of implementing SAP HANA SP09 in our landscape  by using MDC concept since our solution is to use one HANA appliance for both ECC and BO .

I have go through some documents , here is my understanding , while installing  HANA we have to choose MDC concept , initially HANA will be installed with default System DB after that we have create tenant DB as per our requirement .

But I have a doubt here , since I need two DB one for ECC and one for BO .

1. Can I use Default system DB for ECC and tenant DB for BO

2. Or should  I create two tenant DB , one tenant for ECC and one tenant for BO . Leaving System DB only for central administration.

3. If I should go with option 2 , then what should be the minimum memory I should assign for System DB to operate , since we want to use the max memory for ECC and BO only .

Please advise me .

Regards

Plan and Prepare Changes to Best Use, Maintain, and Enhance Your IT Landscape

Introduction

Your IT landscape consists of all servers running our business software. To keep your business running and continuously improve your processes, both servers and software are changing constantly. To manage the required changes, people in different roles need to work closely together - on a very high level, this is shown in figure 1. While the names of the three roles will differ slightly from company to company, you should recognize the overall process:

Figure 1: Line of Business, IT Architect, and Basis Administrator working together to identify required changes, plan and evaluate them based on the current landscape description and prepare the implementation of new or additional software product versions.

Best Practice Guide to Planning Landscape Changes

We are working on this process in a group dedicated to Release Management and Innovation Adoption. The recommendation for the complete process is described in a  Planning Landscape Changes - a Best Practice Guide(SMP login required). This guide will be updated reflecting progress in process described - please feel invited to give feedback! Therefore, this information is is also available via an SCN blog:
Planning Landscape Changes - a Best Practice Guide.

Hint: Since this guide is intended to be a living document being updated over time, you may want to follow this blog...

Figure 2 is taken from that guide and shows the roles in more detail:

Figure 2: Tools and activities involved in the best practice process of innovation adoption to update or upgrade installations of SAP Business Suite products taken from the best practices guide - in its new version describing the process using using maintenance planner..

Landscape Descriptions

Tools and processes required as a basis for all planning steps

On this SCN page you'll get information and links to SAP's product model, System Landscape Directory, and SAP Solution Manager LMDB.

Data for landscape descriptions are increasingly used in the SAP Support Portal; to learn about the topology recommendations, read

Maintenance Planning

New:Maintenance Planner

Simulate and Plan Changes in Your systems or Tracks based on a Graphical UI

Maintenance planner is a new tool now available combing functions required to plan system updates, upgrades and even new installations.

Maintenance Optimizer

Managing your Maintenance Processes Based on Landscape Data

Maintenance Optimizer (MOpz) in SAP Solution Manager is the central point of access for all maintenance activities. It supports the installation of updates and upgrades and completely manages the maintenance activities for your whole solution, centrally accessible from inside SAP Solution Manager.

• In Maintenance Optimizer at the SAP Service Marketplace (login required) you'll find the describing steps and tools in the maintenance process for various releases of SAP Solution Manager:

  • Special Cases in Installation and Upgrade
• Also see Maintenance Optimizer @ the SCN

Landscape Planner

Functions of the landscape planner will be provided by the maintenance planner in the future

Unified Consumption Experience

(UCE) aims at simplifying the process of installation for a new system on a target software level. The process eases the task of IT administrators by reducing the efforts in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This document explains the benefits of UCE by comparing the existing process with the new improved process.

Landscape Recommendations

Guidance about Useful Landscape Layouts

Landscape recommendations provide a clear guidance about useful landscape layouts for most of typical use cases. The recommendations outline supported deployment options for SAP products, listing pros and cons of each option and simplify the consumption of the material by using a common methodology containing a simple rating of each option.This information helps customers designing their system landscapes according to the recommendations by SAP. It is available in the Landscape Recommendations Wiki @ the SCN.

Software Logistics

Applying Landscape Changes

Landscape data are used to manage your landscape. You do not create them just for the tools managing them but you need to see them in the big picture: System and landscape data are emerging when you install software and are needed to define changes in the landscape, which are applied then by software logistic tools To find out more about tools like Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) and Software Update Manager (SUM) go to http://scn.sap.com/community/it-management/alm/software-logistics.

System Copy

If you’re using the system copy function of the software provisioning manager, you need to take care of the changed landscape data in the System Landscape Directory (SLD). This blog describes it: How to Deal with Landscape Data Created during System Copy

Dual-Stack Split

Dual-Stack Systems can be split into separate technical systems (with the exception of mandatory dual-stacks such as versions of SAP NetWeaver PI and SAP Solution Manager). After such a split, you need to take care – or do some house-keeping – in theSystem Landscape Directory (SLD) and also think of the landscape description in SAP Solution Manager LMDB: Dual-Stack Split – How to Ensure Correct Technical System Data in SLD and LMDB after the Split @ the SCN.

SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM)

Automate Repetitive Tasks and Gain Unprecedented Visibility and Control over SAP and non-SAP Systems

With this product, you can automate repetitive tasks and gain unprecedented visibility and control over SAP and non-SAP systems in both traditional and virtual infrastructures. In particular, it provides an end-to-end system copy with fully automated post-copy steps. As a result, you can boost efficiency and agility and lower operating costs.

From the perspective of landscape data management, you can apply all ALM processes to technical systems controlled by LVM.
If you are using virtual host names assigned to the technical systems all processes in LVM including relocate can be used. If you're using physical host names, you can still manage your technical systems and apply ALM processes based on landscape data but relocation is not possible.

For more information, see SAP Landscape Virtualization Management at a Glance@ the SCN.

SAP IT Infrastructure Management

Extend the Landscape Description of your IT Solution to the Infrastructure

With SAP IT Infrastructure Management you can extend the landscape description of your IT solution to the infrastructure (network components) level. It can easily integrate into SAP Solution Manager to use the information within technical monitoring and ITSM. SAP IT Infrastructure Management is on the price list, but integration into SAP Solution Manager is free for Enterprise Support customers.

Just throwing this out there... is there a short listing or document somewhere of available field properties that can be utilized for identification of elements in SAP?

Example:

     session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTABTC/tabpTB01/ssubINCLUDE7XX:SAPLM61K:0101/ctxtMDKP-EKGRP").Text

          - Would be specific to the text contained within the field

     session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTABTC/tabpTB01/ssubINCLUDE7XX:SAPLM61K:0101/ctxtMDKP-EKGRP").Changeable

          - Would be specific to if the field in question can be modified

     session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTABTC/tabpTB01/ssubINCLUDE7XX:SAPLM61K:0101/ctxtMDKP-EKGRP").SetFocus

          - Would be specific to moving the selection focus to the field in question

     session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTABTC/tabpTB01/ssubINCLUDE7XX:SAPLM61K:0101/ctxtMDKP-EKGRP").Select

          - Would be specific to selecting the field in question (as in working with buttons)

Etc, etc.

"Outlook Integration standard version has been found. Installation will abort."

I have found that the installation of OI has been corrupted. I am trying to reinstall from the 9.1 p04 UPGRADE process. However, this process does not show me any messages, and when I run the installation manually from PACKAGES, I get the message above.

How can I fully UNINSTALL Outlook Integration, so I can get the add-on to start properly in the SAP/b1 client?

Thanks!

Hi experts,

We are on HANA 1.0 Rev68 and using the spatial engine.

When defining a table with an ST_GEOMETRY column type we would like to use another Spatial Ref system than the default (0) one. In HANA type 4326 is also available but we are not able to create a column using this SRS_ID.

For example this DDL statement.

CREATE COLUMN TABLE CGIS

(

gid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,

thegeom ST_GEOMETRY

);

This creates a record in SYS.ST_GEOMETRY_COLUMNS with SRS_ID 0.

But how to create thegeom column with 4326 as SRS_ID?

1. thegeom ST_GEOMETRY(4326) does not work.
2. We can't update the view SYS.ST_GEOMETRY_COLUMNS.

Can you help us out here?

Cheers, Wout

I've 2 WEBI reports. Report 1 is based on PO Line item BEx query and Report 2 is based on G/L Line item BEx query. I'm using G/L account as prompt in both the reports by defining variable in BEx.

Report 1 (PO Line items) returns the LOV for G/L account when click on Refresh'.

Report 2 (G/L Line item) returns LOV as 'No values to display'

I ran Report 2 in BEx Analyzer and variable shows the LOV. We're on BI 4.1 SP 5.

I also checked the properties for G/L account in both the queries and they exactly match.

What could be the issue with G/L Line item for not displaying LOV for G/L account?

Thanks,

Dear experts,

when I'm doing the goods issue in EWM system, am expecting that this information will be transferred to ERP.

But in the inbound queues for ERP I see following:

These are the wharehouse tasks in EWM and they looks like this in EWM:

As you see there are no WharehouseProcType for these WTs...and when I try to create one in customizing

I miss the ProcessCategory (like postin of goods issue and inventory and so on):

Could you guys give me a tipp where I can create/customize other process categories?

Hello,

I Need to create a LSMW that works with one or more external services (Services from AC01).

I have tried looking at forum, but people keep mentioning BAPI 2014, which does not work (it says so at the documentation from SAP).

Is there any way to make such lsmw ? (Even on recording? I Need it to keep adding N external services for each item on contract).

Thanks in advance!
