Avoid users to upload especific document via data transfer DTW

Dear Experts,
Anyone know how to avoid users uploading especific documents via DTW (Data Transfer WorkBench), for example giving them authorization to upload User Defined tables via DTW, but avoiding them to upload Purchase Invoices, due to an Approval template for Purchase Invoices.
Hope you'll be able to help me.
Best Regards,

That would be too hard to do even if it is possible.
My suggest is: if you give your user the power for DTW, train them fully. Let them know what they can or can not do.
Thanks,
Gordon

Hi There
Im not sure this would work for you all but i came accross this discussion after suffering the same problem and after pulling my hair out i finally solved it and thought it was only fair i posted how.
I had tried all options on here apart from deleteing everything off my memory card ( i wasn't keen on this option ) i checked the running apps and it just showed that standby was running,
So i thought i would try uninstalling recently installed item one by one, i had recently installed some software called CALL RECORDER and although it was not showing up that it was running it was in the background after deleting this the problem was solved ,
So try and think if there are any apps that you have installed that may be running in the background but not showing up , i would advise deleting these one by one as i did and if it still doesnt work you can reinstall it ,
hope this helps
BUT EVEN AFTER ALL THIS I STILL LOVE MY N95 8GB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Users able to see documents via URL when they cannot see the folder containing them?

I took an AD group out of the permissions list for a folder in a document library. Then I ran an incremental search.
Now, users in that group cannot see the folder (correct behavior!).
Users in that group do not find documents in that folder when performing a site search (correct behavior!).
BUT, users in that group CAN open a document in that folder by using the full URL to a document there, the full link.
This seems like a security violation - how can the members of that removed group open a document in a library that they cannot even see?
SP2010 Enterprise, SP1, Feb 2014 CU on Windows Server 2008 R2
Win7 clients with IE10
I have reviewed the groups in use and the permissions lists where they are used and don't see any source of "leakage".
Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix it?

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the user without permission can see a document in a folder by using the full URL to a document.
I have followed your description to do a test, but I can’t reproduce your problem.
My
suggestion is that:
Sign in your site with a user who has full control
permission to the site, and go to the documents in the folder and check whether the users in that group without permission to the folder have permissions to the documents.
When users in that group use the full URL to a document , please check whether the current user is the user in that group without permission to a
document in the folder. You can try a test in another computer.
Please clear your browser Cache and then test again.
If the issue still exists
, please don’t hesitate to let me know．

Integration of the payroll file via Data Transfer Workbench

Hello my friends,
With the new version of SAP 8.8, I can not integrate the payroll file.
I think the error comes from the fact that the code allocation is not in my file and can not be taken as the current status in SAP. While it worked in the old version.
Kind regards,
Amine Z.

Hi Amine,
You have to check new data structure to make sure your file matches the new design.

How can I find out who uploaded a document to the Knowledge Directory?
My users want to know who uploaded the documents they are viewing in the KD. I hope there is some option other then creating "Related Experts" for each folder.
The Collab. Server displays the user who uploaded the documents.

Determining Data transfer rate through modem in java

Hi,
I want to write an application in java which will communicate with
connected modem of the system and it will detect the data transfer rate.
I want to know how much data is transferring(upload/download)through modem and in a specific time how much data is transferred.
I will give some max upload/downloading limit for a specific time and if data transfer exceeds that limit,it will show message.
e.g if i fix max upload/download data transfer limit by the modem is say 10GB/20GB for a specific time span say for 15 days.Then my program automatically will start when the Modem will be connected and keep a log of data transfer(upload/download)and if data transfer goes beyond limit then it will show message.Also i would be able to see how much data is transferred for any specific day.
I want to know this type of application is possible in java.If yes then
which API's i need to use.
If this type of program is available in some site in other language then also i will be helpful.Pl give the links.

CANVAS program at Univ of Mary Washington- since 15 September am unable to upload documents via my Mac using Firefox 3.6.23, Mac OS X.4.11. Can you help?

Canvas is the replacement for Blackboard program for posting study material, group conferencing and messaging to students. Until about 15 September, I was able to upload DOC documents to a Files site for students to read as extra assigned material. On or about that date, I have been blocked from doing that. When I go to upload a document, it starts and then says UPLOAD ERROR. I can still upload if I send the DOC document to a PC computer as an e-mail attachment and then upload it on the PC. The following are the specs of my computer:
I-Mac Processor PC G4
Memory 512 SDRAM
OS X.4.11
Remaining memory on HD approx 30 Gegs
Firefox browser my standard) 3.6.23
Like I say, I was able to use canvas fully until around that date. From our IT Dept, I understand that Canvas works with Firefox 3.5 and above. Can you help me?
Thank you,

How external users can upload files in document library hosted in onpremise SharePoint?

Hi all,
We have setup a document library(DL) in SharePoint site hosed on-premise with no direct access from public zone/internet being an intranet solution. We have some external users who need to upload some files that needs to go in this document
library. These files are quite confidential in nature so security is a prime requirement. Following are the couple of options I have in mind:
1. External users upload their file in their designated folder to secure FTP using their own credential set. And also there is a background process (kind of directory watcher) that keep looking at the all the folders
and moves the files to document library
2. We host a single page application which has One time password (OTP) kind of feature. External user comes to the secure site to specify Vendor team name and mobile number. OTP is generated and user is asked to specify the password along with file
they would like to upload. This page also maps the vendor name with respective folder in DL and moves the files to SharePoint there on the fly.
Pls. share your opinion about these approaches. Also welcome your thoughts if there is any other better option.
Thanks.

Hi,
I agree with the Margriet, the first option is simple and safe, the users could not access the document library directly.
For security, it is an importance for users not access the document library directly, it will reduce the risk of the documents in the library.
Thanks,
Jason

Data transfer thru lsmw via bapi

how to perform data transfer thru lsmw via bapi.
Thanks.
Regards
Rama

HI
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)

BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
Check your procedure using this Links.
BAPI with LSMW
http://esnips.com/doc/ef04c89f-f3a2-473c-beee-6db5bb3dbb0e/LSMW-with-BAPI
For document on using BAPI with LSMW, I suggest you to visit:
http://www.****************/Tutorials/LSMW/BAPIinLSMW/BL1.htm
What are the methods to migrate data from a legacy system to SAP?
LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.
Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAPI and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data.
The LSMW comprises the following main steps:
Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).
Convert data (from the source into the target format).
Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application.
But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :
Define source structure : structure of data in the source file.
Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data.
Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversions, if any.
Specify file: location of the source file
Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction which one is used most of the time?
How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis?
All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BDCs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call transaction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of small amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).
SO Bottom line is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.
These methods are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is not available for all scenario, else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method ,you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requirement.
Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which
You can create lsmw for data migration as follows (using session method):
Example for xk01 (create vendor)
Initially there will be 20 steps but after processing 1 step it will reduced to 14 for session method.
1. TCode : LSMW.
2. Enter Project name, sub project name and object name.
Execute.
3. Maintain object attributes.
Execute
select Batch Input recording
goto->Recording overview
create
recording name.
enter transaction code.
start recording
do recording as per ur choice.
save + back.
enter recording name in lsmw screen.
save + back
Now there will be 14 steps.
2. MAINTAIN SOURCE STRUCTURES.
Here you have to enter the name of internal table.
display change
create
save + back
3. MAINTAIN SOURCE FIELDS.
display change
select structure
source_fields->copy fields.
a dialogue window will come .
select -> from data file
apply source fields
enter No. of fields
length of fields
attach file
save + back
4. MAINTAIN STRUCTURE RELATIONS
display change
save + back
5. MAINTAN FIELD MAPPING & CONVERSION RULE
display change
click on source field, select exact field from structue and enter
repeat these steps for all fields.
save+back
6. MAINTAIN FIXED VALUES, TRANSACTION, USER DEFINED
execute
save + back
7. SPECIFY FILES.
display change
click on legacy data
attah flat file
give description
select tabulatore
enter
save + back
8. ASSIGN FILE
execute
display change
save + back
9. IMPORT DATA.
execute
display change
save + back
10. DISPLAY IMPORTED DATA
enter ok, it willl show records only.
back
11. CONVERT DATA
execute
display change
save + back
12. DISPLAY CONVERTED DATA
execute
display change
save + back
13. CREATE BATCH INPUT SESSION
tick keep batch input folder
F8
back
14. RUN BATCH INPUT SESSION.
sm35 will come
Object name will be shown here
select object & process

"Function code cannot be selected" error while uploading a document.

Hi,
When we try to upload a document into SAP the user is getting the error "Function code cannot be selected". Detailed error is given below. Only one user is facing this error in PRD. For all other users it is working fine. We replicated the same issue in testing systems and it is working fine there with the same user's id.
The detailed error is,
No batch input data for screen SAPLF040 0300
Message no. 00344
Diagnosis
The transaction sent a screen that was not expected in the batch input session and which therefore could not be supplied with data.
Possible reasons:
1. The batch input session was created incorrectly. The sequence of screens was recordly incorrectly.
2. The transaction behaves differently in background processing in a batch work process than when running in dialog (SY-BATCH is queried and changes the screen sequence).
3. The transaction has undergone user-specific Customizing and therefore certain screens may be skipped or processed differently, according to the current user. If the person who created a batch input session is not the same as the person now processing it, this problem may occur frequently.
System Response
None.
Procedure
For 1: Either re-create the session or process it in expert mode. Correct the batch input program.
For 2. It is very difficult to analyze this problem, particularly in the case that the screen sequence or the display-only options of fields differ according to whether the transaction is being processed in the background or as an online dialog. It could also be that this kind of transaction cannot run with batch input.
For 3: Have the creator of the session process it. If no error occurs now, then this is a program with user-specific Customizing.

Hi Amar,
I am facing the same issue while processing Vendor master inbound idocs, Few Idocs gone in error with error message "Function code cannot be selected".
Could you please suggest any solution found for the same.
Thanks in advance
