Upload Best Practices in SolMan

Hello forum,
Please can one of you explain me how to upload Best Practices in Solution manager?
I would like to upload the WholeSale Distribution package V1.600.
I need to know where I can find this package and then how to upload it?
Thanks in advance
François
PS: Is there any relation between uploading BP and Maintenance Optimizer?

Hi François,
sorry for the misunderstanding. That what you have in the small list are really only the bps you may bring into the Solution Manager. For all other ones (e.g. Wholesale non-US V1.500 or all other V1.600) this is not possible. Here you need indeed real CRM- or ERP-systems to import the bps.
If that what SolMan offers (WholeSale V1.500 US) is ok, please see note #629829 and the document "SAP Best Practices Content: Installation Guide" provided also in the list mentioned above.
Best regards, Alexander.

FI document Excel upload best practice?

Hello,
What's the current best practice for financial document upload from Excel? (uploading data from excel to run FB01/FB50)
Especially I'm looking for a comprehensive and easy-to-implement solution for error handling. The simulation/testrun in foreground should find out all master data and combination mistakes and give detail feedback for the user. Additionally the production run should be straight forward, also with status/error handling (read, user should not be asked to go to SM35).
Is there any how-to docs released by SAP?
Thanks!
Aki

Hi Aki
www.mkpg.ch developed an Excel add-in called xls2Sap. With this add-in you can post from Excel directly into SAP, without an upload file, without leaving Excel. Occuring errors are written into a seperate log-tab in the Excel sheet. Furthermore the user can choose to store he posting document in SAP. It seems that our solution fullfills your requirements. Let me know, if you have any other questions.
There are some videos on www.mkpg.ch showing some of the possibilities. However the are in Swiss German
Kind regards,

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

Best Practice for Flat File Data Uploaded by Users

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
1.     Users would like to upload data from flat file and subsequently view their reports.
2.     SAP BW support team would not be involved in data upload process.
3.     Users would not go to RSA1 and use InfoPackages & DTPs. Hence, another mechanism for data upload is required.
4.     Users consists of two group, external and internal users. External users would not have access to SAP system. However, access via a portal is acceptable.
What are the best practice we should adopt for this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi,
I can share what we do in our project.
We get the files from the WEB to the Application Server in path which is for this process.The file placed in the server has a naming convention based on ur project,u can name it.Everyday the same name file is placed in the server with different data.The path in the infopackage is fixed to that location in the server.After this the process chain trigers and loads the data from that particular path which is fixed in the application server.After the load completes,a copy of file is taken as back up and deleted from that path.
So this happens everyday.

SOLMAN with India Baseline Best Practice solution

Hello,
With India Baseline best practice solutin route, you need to go-thru the activation process which creates the configuration objects for the selected scenarios. How can i integrate this process with SOLMAN in place as I understand in SOLMAN base project implementation we need to create a project & do the configuration via SOLMAN for individual nodes.
Regards,
Manish.

Hi,
Our current solution is to have to NICs and have both connect to the server. They then have 2 different IPs and we have the DHCP give out the IP as the gateway. The only problem with that is that we cannot control the automated change of gateway IP if the
main connection fails.
We are also willing to look into other hardware solutions that could control this.

SolMan CTS+ Best Practices for large WDP Java .SCA files

As I know, CTS+ allows ABAP change management to steward non-ABAP objects. With ABAP changes, if you have an issue in QA, you simply create a new Transport and correct the issue, eventually moving both transports to Production (assuming no use of ToC).
We use ChaRM with CTS+ extensively to transport .SCA files created from NWDI. Some .SCA files can be very large: +300MB. Therefore, if we have an issue with a Java WDP application in QA, I assume we are supposed is to create a second Transport, attach a new .SCA file, and move it to QA. Eventually, this means moving both Transports (same ChaRM Document) to Production, each one having 300 MB files. Is this SAP's best practice, since all Transports should go to Production? We've seen some issues with Production not being to happy with deploying two 300MB files in a row. What about the fact that .SCA files from the same NWDI track are cumulative, so I truly only need the newest one. Any advice?
FYI - SAP said this was a consulting question and therefore could not address this in my OSS incident.
Thanks,
David

Error while Connecting report Best Practices v1.31 with SAP

Hello experts,
I'm facing an issue while trying to connect some of my reports from Best Practices for BI with SAP.
It only happens when it's about info sets, the other ones that are with SAP tables go smoothly without a problem.
The most interesting is I have already one of the reports connected to SAP info sets.
I have already verified the document of steps of creation of additional database that comes with BP pack. They seem ok.
Here goes what Crystal Reports throws to me after changing the data source to SAP:
For report "GL Statement" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: /KYK/IS_FIGL_I3:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: It wasn't indicated any variant for exercise (something like this after translating) - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
For report "Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR and ZBPBI131_INFO_COAS; and also the Query CO_OM_OP_20_Q1:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: check class for selections raised errors - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
Obs.: Those "Z" infosets are already created in SAP environment.
The one that works fine is one of the Purchasing Analysis reports:
- Purchasing Group Analysis -> InfoSet: /KYK/IS_MCE1
I'm kind of lost to solve this, because I'm not sure if it can be in the SAP JCO or some parameter that was done wrongly in SAP and I have already check possible solutions for both.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos Henrique Matos da Silva - SAP BusinessObjects BI - Brazil.

I re-checked step 3.2.3 - Uploading Crystal User Roles (transaction PFCG) - of the manual where it talks about CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT and CRYSTAL_DESIGNER roles, I noticed in the Authorizations tab that the status was saying it hadn't been generated and I had a yellow sign, so then that was what I did (I generated) as it says in the manual.
Both statuses are now saying "Authorization profile is generated" and the sign is now green on the tab.
I had another issue in the User tab (it was yellow as Authorizations one before generating)....all I needed to do to change to green was comparing user (User Comparison button).
After all that, I tried once more to refresh the Crystal report and I still have the error messages being thrown.
There's one more issue in one of the tabs of PFCG transaction, it is on the Menu one where it is with a red sign, but there's nothing talking about it in the manual. I just have a folder called "Role menu" without anything in it.
Can it be the reason why I'm facing errors when connecting the report to SAP infoSets? (remember one of my reports which is connected to an infoSet works good)
Thanks in advance,

SAP Best Practice Integrated with Solution manager

We have a server in which we installed SAP Best practice baseline package and we have the solution manager 7.01 SP 25
We maintained the logical port but when we try to check connectivity to solution manager we got the following error:
Connectivity check to sap solution manager system not successful
Message no. /SMB/BB_INSTALLER375
Can anyone guide us how to solve the problem and also if there is another way to upload the solution defined on the best practice solution builder into sap solution manager as a template project

Best practices of BO/BW SSO SAP Authentication transports

Hi Friends,
We are going to integrate BW system with BO (SAP authentication). All the queries are built through BICS connections. And we have various reporting tools to implement SSO SAP authentication (Webi,Crystal,Dashboard.Design studio…etc)
As per the process there are certain activities which has to be performed at BW level
e.g -- BW Roles creation (PFCG---Crystal role enablement) and assigning to BO users
Once it is created in BW , we have to do integration at BO level( in CMC application) by selecting authentication and roles import followed by ……Groups..Users…folder and access level...
My question here is
Transports of BW objects for BO SSO (SAP) authentication (such as roles created for Users, Keystore certificate, uploads). Will these objects be transported by BW team or they will be separately downloading or uploading the certificate in different systems (like QAS ...PROD….)
And at BO level, once I integrate BO SSO, Do I need to do manual integration in QAS and Production system as well or it can be transported with promotion management of BO tool
Will these SSO(SAP) authentication can be applied to all tools in BI Launchpad such as (Design studio,Webi,Web application,Crystal….etc) as all users are required to have SSO to all BO tool
Regarding LUMIRA tool , Can we do SSO authentication
Please share your thoughts and experience.
I t would be great if I get BO administration best practices document for BW BO SSO and Users and Group management in CMC for implementing
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
Please find my answers below:
1. The roles will be created in BW and should automatically appear in BO CMC Authentication SAP roles, if there is a connectivity setup between BO and BW irrespective of the SSO.The roles are transported by the BW security team.
2. Every environement will have a unique connection to the corresponding SAP BW environment.For example SAP BW DEV will be mapped to BO DEV, SAP BW PROD will be mapped to BO PROD.So these settings cannot be migrated through Promotion Management.
3.This authentication can be applied to all tools , the SSO does not depend on the tool ,it depends on the integration between two systems which in this case are BO and SAP BW
As mentioned earlier, after integration all tools can have SSO
You can refer to a lot of help documents on this site which will help you to setup the integration between SAP BW AND SAP BO.

Priyanka

Best practice for managing a Windows 7 deployment with both 32-bit and 64-bit?

What is the best practice for creating and organizing deployment shares in MDT for a Windows 7 deployment that has mostly 32-bit computers, but a few 64-bit computers as well? Is it better to create a single deployment share for Windows 7 and include both
versions, or is it better to create two separate deployment shares? And what about 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications?
I'm currently leaning towards creating two separate deployment shares, just so that I don't have to keep typing (x86) and (x64) for every application I import, as well as making it easier when choosing applications in the Lite Touch installation. But I know
each deployment share has the option to create both an x86 and x64 boot image, so that's why I am confused.

Supporting two task sequences is way easier than supporting two shares. Two shares means two boot media, or maintaining a method of directing the user to one or the other. Everything needs to be imported or configured twice. Not to mention doubling storage
space. MDT is designed to have multiple task sequences, why wouldn't you use them?
Supporting multiple task sequences can be a pain, but not bad once you get a system. Supporting app installs intelligently is a large part of that. We have one folder per app install, with a wrapper vbscript that handles OS detection. If there are separate
binaries, they are placed in x86 and x64 subfolders. Everything runs from one folder via the same command, "cscript install.vbs". So, import once, assign once, and forget it. Its the same install package we use for Altiris, and we'll be using a Powershell
version of it when we fully migrate to SCCM.
Others handle x86 and x64 apps separately, and use the MDT app details to select what platform the app is meant for. I've done that, but we have a template for the vbscript wrapper and its a standard process, I believe its easier. YMMV.
Once you get your apps into MDT, create bundles. Core build bundle, core deploy bundle, Laptop deploy bundle, etcetera. Now you don't have to assign twenty apps to both task sequences, just one bundle. When you replace one app in the bundle, all TS'es are
updated automatically. Its kind of the same mentality as active directory. Users, groups and resources = apps, bundles and task sequences.
If you have separate build and deploy shares in your lab, great. If not, separate your apps into build and deploy folders in your lab MDT share. Use a selection profile to upload only your deploy side to production. In fact I separate everything (except
drivers) into Build and deploy folders on my lab server. Don't mix build and deploy, and don't mix Lab/QA and production. I also keep a "Retired" folder. When I replace an app, TS, OS, etcetera, I move it to the retired folder and append "RETIRED - " to the
front of it so I can instantly spot it if it happens to show up somewhere it shouldn't.
To me, the biggest "weakness" of MDT is its flexibility. There's literally a dozen different ways to do everything, and there's no fences to keep you on the path. If you don't create some sort of organization for yourself, its very easy to get lost as things
get complicated. Tossing everything into one giant bucket will have you pulling your hair out.

Best practice SOD Library in AACG 8.5.1.278

Best practice for migrating IDOCs?

Subject: Best practice for migrating IDOC's?
Hi,
I need to migrate some IDOC's to another system for 'historical reference'.
However, I don't want to move them using the regular setup as I don't want the inbound processing to be triggered.
The data that was created in the original system by the processed IDOC's will be migrated to the new system using migration workbench. I only need to migrate the IDOC's as-is due to legal requirements.
What is the best way to do this? I can see three solutions:
A) Download IDOC table contents to a local file and upload them in the new system. Quick and dirty approach, but it might also be a bit risky.
B) Use LSMW. However, I'm not sure whether this is feasible for IDOC's.
C) Using ALE and setting up a custom partner profile where inbound processing only writes the IDOC's to the database. Send the IDOC's from legacy to the new system. Using standard functionality in this way seems to me to be the best solution, but I need to make sure that the IDOC's once migration will get the same status as they had in the old system.
Any help/input will be appreciated
Regards
Karl Johan
PS. For anyone interested in the business case: Within EU the utility market was deregulated a few years ago, so that any customer can buy electricity from any supplier. When a customer switches supplier this is handled via EDI, in SAP using ALE and IDOC's. I'm working on a merger between two utility companies and for legal reasons we need to move the IDOC's. Any other data is migrated using migration workbench for IS-U.

Hi Daniele
I am not entirely sure, what you are asking, Please could you provide additional information.
Are you looking for best practice recommendations for Governance, for example: Change transports between DEV, QA and PRD in BPC 7.0?
What is the best method? Server Manager backup and restore, etc ?
And
Best Practice recommendations on how to upgrade to a different version of BPC, for example: Upgrading from BPC 7.0 to 7.5 or 10.0 ?

Best practice for upgrading task definition without deleting task instances

best practice for upgrading task definition in production system without deleting or terminating task instances
If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.

1) Rename the original task definition.
2) Upload the new task definition with the original name.
3) Later, after all the running tasks have timed out, delete the old definition.
E.g., if your task definition is "myWorkflow":
1) Rename "myWorkflow" to "myWorkflow-old-2009-07-28"
2) Upload the new task definition as "myWorkflow".
Existing tasks will stay linked to the original (renamed) workflow definition.
New tasks will use the new definition.
As the previous poster notes, depending on the changes you are making, letting the old task definitions stay active could have bad side-effects and might be better avoided.

Best practice for photo format: RAW+PSD+JPEG?

What is the best practice in maintaining format of files while editing?
I shoot in RAW and import into PS CS5. After editing, it allows me to save as various formats, including PSD and JPEG. PS says that if you want to re-edit the file, you should save as PSD as all the layers are maintained as-is. Hence I'd prefer to save as .PSD. However, in most cases, the end objective is to share the image with others and JPEG is the most suitable format. Does this mean, that for each image, its important to save it in 3 formats viz RAW, PSD and JPEG? Wont this increase the total space occupied tremendously? Is this how most professionals do it? Pls advice.

Thanks everyone for this continued discussion in my absence over two weeks. Going through it i realize its helpful stuff. During this period, i downloaded Aperture trial and have learnt it (there's actually not much learning, its so incredibly intuitive and simple, but incredibly powerful. Since I used iphoto in the past, it just makes it easier.
I have also started editing my pics to put them up on my photo site. And over past 10 days, here is the workflow I have developed.
-Download RAW files onto my laptop using Canon s/w into a folder where i categorize and maintain all my images
-Import them into Aperture, but letting the photos reside in the folder structure i defined (rather than have Aperture use its own structure)
-Complete editing of all required images in Aperture (and this takes care of 80-90% of my pics)
     -From within Aperture open in PS CS5 those images that require editing that cannot be done in Aperture
     -Edit in CS5 and do 'Save', this brings them back to Aperture
     -Now I have two versions of these images in Aperture - the original RAW and the new .PSD
-Select the images that I need to put up on my site and export them to a new folder from where i upload them
I would be keen to know if someone else follows a more efficient or robust workflow than this, would be happy to incorporate it.
There are still a couple questions I have:
1 - Related to PS CS5: Why do files opened in CS5 jump up in terms of their file size. Any RAW or JPEG file originally btn 2-10 MB shows up as minimum 27 MB in CS. The moment you do some edits and/or add layers, it reaches 50-150MB. This is ridiculous. I am sure I am doing something wrong. Or is this how CS5 works with everyone.
2 - After editing a file in CS by launching it from Aperture, I now end up with two versions in Aperture, the original file and the new .PSD file (which is usually 100MB+). I tried exporting the .PSD file to a folder to upload it on my site, and wasnt sure what format and size it would end up with. I got it as a JPEG file within reasonable filesize limits. Is this how Aperture works? Does Aperture allow you options of which format you want to save the file in?
