  • [newbie] about the ABAP trial

    Hi all,
    I have some little questions about ABAP trial that must sound like newbie questions ( that's why I tagged the title like that).
    I would like to know if the trial contain all I need to train in ABAP devlopment such as workbench, sm30, Data Dictionnay, and tools needed to be efficient as an abap technical consultant ?
    My second question is about the time limit of the licence ?
    IS there a restriction or can I use it as lon as I wish ?
    The goal for me is to learn technical points to improve my skills and I have no opprotunities to  do it daily in my work.
    Thanks a lot for help,
    Regards
    Morgan

    Hi Morgan.  Yes, the NetWeaver Sneak Preview system includes everything that you need to learn ABAP, it includes everything on the technology layer, so you will be good to go.  The license is good for 90 days, but it can be renewed indefinitly every 90 days, so a couple days before your 90 days is up, simply go get another licence and apply it.

  • The question about the HA installation on ECC6.0

    Hi Experts,
    We are about to implement a project with HA environment on the ECC6.0 in the near future, which is just about the ABAP stack. After reading the Installating Guide, I stil have several questions related to the procedures of HA installation.
    In the guide document, I got the following steps to process for realizing the HA of ECC6.0:
    1. Run SAPinst to install the central services instance (ASCS) using the virtual host name on the primary cluster node, host A.
    2. Prepare the standby node, host B, making sure that it meets the hardware and software requirements and it has all the necessary file systems, mount points, and (if required) Network File System (NFS), as described in Preparing for Switchover .
    3. Set up the user environment on the standby node, host B. For more information, see Creating Operating System Users and Groups Manually. Make sure thatyou use the same user and group IDs as on the primary node. Create the home directories of users and copy all files from the home directory of the primary node.
    4. Configure the switchover software and test that switchover functions correctly.
    5. Install the database instance on the primary node, host A.
    6. Install the central instance with SAPinst on the primary node, host A.
    7.If required, install additional dialog instances with SAPinst to replicate the SAP system services that are not a SPOF. These nodes do not need to be part of the cluster.
    My Question is that does standby node(host B in above context) need to install the ASCS, database instance and Central Instance?
    If host B does not need to install the database instance, how about the whole system would be when the primary cluster node (Host A in above context) totally crash, such as power failure.

    Hi Rong,
    I would try to explain it in simple words...
    My Question is that does standby node(host B in above context) need to install the ASCS,
    database instance and Central Instance?
    If host B does not need to install the database instance, how about the whole system would be when
    the primary cluster node (Host A in above context) totally crash, such as power failure.
    1. You don't need to install ASCS on Node B. You are installing it using a VIRTUAL HOSTNAME which represent cluster not individual node. VIRTUAL HOSTNAME is assigned to cluster package, so whichever Node is the owner of the package, will have the VIRTUAL HOSTNAME. (it will switch with cluster switchover)
    2. It is actually a cluster package configuration magic. When Node A is active, cluster package owner is Node A. So all mount points (which is on SAN disk) is mounted on Node A. When you switchover the cluster, those packages will be mounted on Node B.
    Some time single cluster package is used (which includes mount points for SAP instance + Database directories). You can also use 2 cluster package seperating SAP and Database directory structure.
    Only OS related directories should be on servers local disk. All other application related mount points should be on SAN disk which is configured in "Cluster Package". (For example /sapmnt, /usr/sap, /oracle etc.)
    You only need identical users and their enviornment settings on both Nodes.
    In simple words, When primary node fails or crashed only users and thier enviornment setting will be lost. On second node, because of identical users and their profiles, same settings will be available to bring up the SAP system. Your all SAP and Database data is intact as it is on SAN Disk.
    I hope, your confusion is cleared now...
    Regards.

  • Need info about c_taw12 abap certification exam

    Hi All,
        I have 3 years of experience in SAP ABPA and i would like to write the ABAP c_taw12 exam. Can any body please let me know what is producer to apply?  What are the exam criteria (mean experience)? Please provide me more detail information about the ABAP certification exam.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Kannan

    <b>http://www.sap.com/asia/services/education/centres/index.epx</b>
    You can contact the education center nearest to ur location, they would guide you how to apply.
    They generally ask for 1 year working expereince in the company from which u r applying, but its not mandatory. If u r company sponsred, then no such pre-requisites.
    If u have 3 years exp in ABAP then clearing the certification wont be that tough, just follow the 5 books that SAP provides. The certification tests the conceptual knowledge of the candidate.
    <b>Hope this is helpful.</b>

  • About send TCP package to other server program with the ABAP

    I have a server program, it receipt the tcp data package,then process,then return the result with tcp package.
    the data come from the sap system.
    for example, the material master record.
    I can use the abap to get the data,but i have no idea to send the data to server progam and receipt the result.
    How to do it? Who can help me.Thanks a lot.

    By default, LV converts all of the datatypes to be in big endian form.
    I'm not sure about your SGI, but if it is a little endian machine, then
    that will cause problems. If that is the case, you will want to swap
    the words and bytes of the four byte values.
    To debug this more easily, you might just make sure you send over very
    predictable data such as 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Lots of times these are
    tested with random data, but that makes it pretty hard to see a pattern
    when the data is wrong.

  • SAP paging overflow when storing data in the ABAP/4 memory.

    I am trying to create a data source in  BI7.0 in the Datawarehousing Workbench. But along the process when i need to select a view i get an error detailed in the following error file extract: Please go through and assist.
    untime Errors         MEMORY_NO_MORE_PAGING
    Date and Time          06.06.2009 14:21:35
    Short text
    SAP paging overflow when storing data in the ABAP/4 memory.
    What happened?
    The current program requested storage space from the SAP paging area,
    but this request could not be fulfilled.
    of this area in the SAP system profile.
    What can you do?
    Note which actions and input led to the error.
    For further help in handling the problem, contact your SAP administrator
    You can use the ABAP dump analysis transaction ST22 to view and manage
    termination messages, in particular for long term reference.
    Error analysis
    The ABAP/4 runtime system and the ABAP/4 compiler use a common
    interface to store different types of data in different parts of
    the SAP paging area. This data includes the
    ABAP/4 memory (EXPORT TO MEMORY), the SUBMIT REPORT parameters,
    CALL DIALOG and CALL TRANSACTION USING, as well as internally defined
    macros (specified with DEFINE).
    To store further data in the SAP paging area, you attempted to
    allocate a new SAP paging block, but no more blocks were
    available.
    When the SAP paging overflow occurred, the ABAP/4 memory contained
    entries for 20 of different IDs.
    Please note:
    To facilitate error handling, the ABAP/4 memory was
    deleted.
    How to correct the error
    The amount of storage space (in bytes) filled at termination time was:
    Roll area...................... 8176
    Extended memory (EM)........... 13587912
    Assigned memory (HEAP)......... 0
    Short area..................... " "
    Paging area.................... 40960
    Maximum address space.......... " "
    By calling Transaction SM04 and choosing 'Goto' -> 'Block list',
    you can display an overview of the current roll and paging memory
    levels resulting from active users and their transactions. Try to
    decide from this whether another program requires a lot of memory
    space (perhaps too much).
    The system log contains more detailed information about the
    termination. Check for any unwanted recursion.
    Determine whether the error also occurs with small volumes of
    data. Check the profile (parameter "rdisp/PG_MAXFS", see
    Installation Guidelines).
    Is the disk or the file system that contains the paging file
    full to the extent that it cannot be increased, although it has
    not yet reached the size defined in the profile? Is the
    operating system configured to accommodate files of such a
    size?
    The ABAP processor stores different types of data in the SAP
    paging area. These include:
    (1) Data clusters (EXPORT ... TO MEMORY ...)
    (2) Parameters for calling programs (SUBMIT REPORT ...),
    Dialog modules (CALL DIALOG ...) and transactions
    (CALL TRANSACTION USING ...)
    (3) Internally defined program macros (DEFINE ...)
    Accordingly, you should check the relevant statements in a program
    that results in an overflow of the SAP paging area.
    It is critical when many internal tables, possibly with
    different IDs, are written to memory (EXPORT).
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "MEMORY_NO_MORE_PAGING" " "
    "SAPLWDTM" or "LWDTMU20"
    "TABC_ACTIVATE_AND_UPDATE"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
    To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
    Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
    Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
    program: The source code of the program
    In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
    Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
    actions and input led to the error.

    Hi Huggins,
    Maintenance of the Paging File is owned by your basis team.
    They should increase this in order for your transaction to process successfully.
    Just for your reference, in case the OS used is windows server 2003, paging file value can be checked through;
    Right click in the My Computer&gt;properties.
    Then go to Advance tab;
    Then there should be a performance section, click the settings
    Then Advance tab again. The paging file can be seen from there.
    (and can be adjusted from there also)
    The value of the paging file in general will be dependent with the available RAM from the hardware.
    Hope this helps. Thanks a lot.

  • Error while invoking the ABAP Proxy via SOAP Adapter

    Hi,
    My scenario involves SOAP Client invoking a webservice hosted in PI which in turn invokes the ABAP Proxy asyncronously.
    SOAP Client -> PI -> ECC (ABAP Proxy) . This works fine.
    Next , I have exposed the ECC Service Interface as webservice using SOA Manager transaction. Now, once the service is created using SOAManager, i replaced the XI Adapter with SOAP Adapter and provided the target URL as the URL provided by the SOAManager.
    SOAP Client -> PI -> ECC (ABAP Proxy via SOAP Adapter)
    With this approach, i am encountering the below error message
    2009-05-29 12:17:55 Error Adapter Framework caught exception: null

    Hi,
    it looks like you have some problem with RFC. It stopped on the following line:
    * Communication error in RFC-Call
    message x628(ke) with 'RFC_ERROR' subrc msg_text.
    Ask your basis guy to check it. The job on application server tried to connect to the central instance and it failed. The job run on central instance does not need to make any RFC call. Hence there is no problem in this case.

  • In CIF customer exit there is no information about the logical system

    Dear All,
    we have a SAP R3 system (ver 4.7) connected to 2 SAP APO systems.
    we need to differentiate the UE code in R3 by APO TARGET SYSTEM.
    In the CIF userexit used:
    EXIT_SAPLCLOC_001
    EXIT_SAPLCSRS_003
    EXIT_SAPLPGS1_001
    EXIT_SAPLCSTK_001
    EXIT_SAPLMEAP_001
    there is no information about the logical system (source, destination
    etc.) The control parameters are not provided to the user exit.
    I found a note 1060634 where the parameter have been added to
    EXIT_SAPLCSLS_002 , but not to all other exits.... do you have any clue on how we can proceed?
    Thank you !!
    Best Regards , Barbara

    Found the answer, to bad i cannot give points to myself :-P
    In the ABAP i use the E_T_RANGE output structure.
    That structure has several fields (sign, opt, low, high).
    In my ABAP i stored the same value in the low and high field.
    This should work fine for normal (flat) characteristic values.
    However, because i use a hierachy i should enter the 0HIER_NODE value in the high field.
    For details see: SAP NOTE: 912473

  • Best Practice: Usage of the ABAP Packages Concept?

    Hi SDN folks,
      I've just started on a new project - I have significant ABAP development experience (15 years+) - but one thing that I have never seen used correctly is the Package concept in ABAP - for any of the projects that I have worked on.
    I would like to define some best practices - about when we should create packages - and about how they should be structured.
    My understanding of the package concept is that they allow you to bundle all of the related objects of a piece of development work together. In previous projects - and almost every project I have ever worked on - we just have packages ZBASIS, ZMM, ZSD, ZFI and so on. But this to me is a very crude usage of packages, and really it seems that we have not moved on passed the 4.6 usage of the old development class concept - and it means that packages do not really add much value.
    I read in the SAP PRESS Next Generation ABAP book (Thomas Ljung, Rich Hellman) (I only have the 1st edition) - that we should use packages for defining separation of concern for an application. So it seems there they are recommending that for each and every application we write - we define at the least 3 packages - one for Model, one for Controller and one for view based objects. It occurs to me that following this approach will lead to a tremendous number of packages over the life cycle of an implementation, which could potentially lead to confusion - and so also add little value. Is this really the best practice approach? Has anyone tried this approach across a full blown implementation?
    As we are starting a new implementation - we will be running with 7 EHP2 and I would really like to get the most out of the functionality that is provided. I wonder what others have for experience in the definition of packages.
    One possible usage occurs to me that you could define the packages as a mirror image of the application business object class hierarchy (see below). But perhaps this is overcomplicating their usage - and would lead to issues later in terms of transportation conflicts etc.:
                                          ZSD
                                            |
                    ZSOrder    ZDelivery   ZBillingDoc
    Does anyone have any good recommendations for the usage of the ABAP Package concept - from real life project experience?
    All contributions are most welcome - although please refrain from sending links on how to create packages in SE80
    Kind Regards,
    Julian

    Hi Julian,
    I have struggled with the same questions you are addressing. On a previous project we tried to model based on packages, but during the course of the project we encountered some problems that grew overtime. The main problems were:
    1. It is hard to enforce rules on package assignments
    2. With multiple developers on the project and limited time we didn't have time to review package assignment
    3. Devopelers would click away warnings that an object was already part of another project and just continue
    4. After go-live the maintenance partner didn't care.
    So, my experience is is that it is a nice feature, but only from a high level design point of view. In real life it will get messy and above all, it doesn't add much value to the development. On my neew assignment we are just working with packages based on functional area and that works just fine.

  • What the **** is going on in the ABAP forums?!

    I've been away from SDN for a few months due to work comitments and am only just starting to browse regularly again...
    I can't believe how bad the standard of questions and answers in the ABAP-General forum has got.  I thought it was as bad as it could get but i was wrong.  Simple, repetitive questions.  Massive cut and paste answers that often have nothing to do with the question.  Everyone saying Please reward with points often after supplying a wrong/inacurate/irrelevant answer.  Constant streams of interview questions.  Same answers being copied and pasted again and again by different people...  The problems go on and on and we've seen them all before, yet it still seems like hardly anything is being done about it.
    Seriously, what is the point?!  I know the moderators must be hard pushed to manage it all but isn't there a way to clean it up a bit please?  It's painful to browse at the moment.
    As far as I'm concerned, the forums are a bit of a waste of time and space at the moment as the content is so watered down with rubbish unless you are about to write your first ABAP program they are of no use to anyone.
    Gareth.

    I'm glad this topic still gets a lot of interest and there are still people on here who are actually bothered.
    Rob, I think your answer is my favourite and is certainly the one my colleagues and I come up with the most.
    As pointed out, there will always be people who are too lazy/uneducated/short of time/whatever to do their own job or to research a problem they are having.  Nothing we can do will ever make that go away.  The issue is how we react and deal with it.
    I don't believe charging for SDN is the answer - a lot of people will move back to SAPFans.com and/or other sites and as someone else has said, people will feel they have the right to post the rubbish if they are paying.
    We've all been over this topic numerous times and on each occaision a common output is everyone wants to see more and stricter moderation.  I honestly believe a moderating approach similar to SAPFans.com would help a great deal in cutting out the root cause - things like people asking for points and people posting CV's are symptoms or effects of the fact original posters are allowed to ask stupid questions or ask for fake resumes.  Things like using "Hi" in the subject of a message or not bothering to search before asking what regular SDN contributors/readers know is a common question can all be cut out with simple moderation.
    So we come back to moderation of the forums - something we've gone over time and time before.
    Blag, I can see you have been sorely missed in the forums - you were still very active last time I was on regularly and I can see a big difference between then and now.  Although you may feel like it is an uphill struggle you were obviously making a big difference.  It's a shame there aren't more of you
    Nick, I've just seen your response whilst writing this and you raise an interesting point I've not considered before about managers having an input in the use of SDN.  I think the problem here is that (certainly in my opinion) the majority of the noise appears to originate from off-shored resource which typically will be quite removed from their customer/manager/employer.  In some ways I've always considered the explosion of the IT market in India for example to be working against itself - there appears to be more jobs that suitably qualified workers leading to the state we have now of fake CV's and people in jobs who don't know what they are doing.  I'm guessing management in this scenario will be happier to have a team of people producing all of their work with SDN's help rather than a team of fully certified, heavily experienced consultants who are too expensive to obtain any off-shoring work...
    I also agree that removing the points system won't necessarily solve all of the perceived problems - again I think points abuse is something else stricter moderation could help to remove.
    Anyway, before I really get on my soapbox I'm going to stop rambling
    Gareth.

  • DDNTF_CONV_UC~" does not exist in the ABAP Dictionary

    Hello Experts ,
    We are migrating our ECC system from Oracle to HANA DB using DMO - during Post Processing phase we are getting the following error :
    (screenshot attached)
    4 ETG003 Table "DDNTF_CONV_UC~" does not exist in the ABAP Dictionary
    4 ETG003 Table "DDNTF~" does not exist in the ABAP Dictionary
    4 ETG003 Table "DDNTT_CONV_UC~" does not exist in the ABAP Dictionary
    4 ETG003 Table "DDNTT~" does not exist in the ABAP Dictionary\
    1.  Am not sure why Shadow tables are considered in this phase ?
    2.  What steps i can follow to fix this error ?[I tried activating those using se14 but activation button is disabled].
    3.  I have a option to ignore and move forward but am not sure about the side affects ?
    Source ECC6 Ehp5 702 on Oracle.
    Target  ECC6 Ehp7 740 on HANA.
    SUM SP12 PL02
    Thanks

    Hi Avinash,
    two comments on this:
    This is not an issue, as this text is NOT an error message.
      (An error message lists the "E" as second character,
       but the screenshot above shows a space as second character.)
    The log handling for this phase will be adapted in SUM SP13, so that non-errors are not listed at this point, to avoid this confusion.
    SUM 1.0 SP12 PL 1 to PL 3 must not be used any longer, see SAP Note 2122247.
    Regards, Boris
