Activate Switches in tcode SFW1 for SAP ECC 6.0

Hello!
Does anyone know how to activate switch FI-CA Core and FI-CA Extended in tcode SFW1?
I have problem to do this, because the global status is still off.
Should may be the SAP system be restarted?
Thank you ver much!
Regards
Thom
P.S. My problem is I cannot execute tcodes FP05, etc...

Hi,
Please follow the official installation documentation at http://service.sap.com/instguides -> Business Suite Apps -> SAP ERP.
The installation is performed by tool called SAPInst. This can be started from the Installation Master DVD. But ofcourse the Installation Master DVD would be specific to you Operating Syste/Database.
Description of other required installation media (Kernel, Export, RDBMS etc) is mentioned in the installation document.
Suggest you to go through it completely.

List of Components for SAP ECC 6. 0 EHP4 NW 7.01

Hi Experts,
How to find the list of components for SAP ECC 6. 0 EHP 4 NW 7.01.
Regards,
IFF

Hi,
Two ways I could think of:
- Best would be goto http://service.sap.com/pam -> search for ERP 2005 EhP5 and check in the "Included components for <technical usage>" section. For this you would need to know the scenario for which you need ERP 2005 EhP4
- If a solution manager is available, goto tcode SMSY -> Product Definitions -> SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE and select EhP4.

License Key Request from SOLMAN VS SMP for SAP ECC 6.0 EPH4 IDES install

Hi, SDN fellows.
I have some doubt on the right way/options to request License Key for SAP ECC 6.0 EPH4 IDES.
Previously, I read that the only way to get license key is to generate it through SAP Solution Manager. If this is the only way, we will have to install Solution Manager just to generate the license key (we are currently don't have SolMan running in our landscape).
I also read that I can request license key through http://service.sap.com/licensekey. I checked the link and see that we have the 10 digits installation number for Product: SAP ERP.. Currently there is no system defined for this installation number.
I went through the first two screens, seems like they have options for SAP ERP 6 --> IDES.
If I can get a license key from http://service.sap.com/licensekey, do I still need to install Sol. Man. to generate the license key?
What are the difference the license key generated from Sol. Man. VS the one we request from SMP?
Thanks,
KC

Hi, Vishnu.
So, now I understand I need two keys: Solution Key and also License key.
I should obtain Solman key before I start installation , as the SAPinst will ask to enter Solman key before it can proceed to install SAP ECC IDES.
You said I can obtain Solman key through OSS note. I went in to SMP just now. Navigated to Help& Support --> Report a Product Error --> New Problem Solving Request.
I selected Customer Number, Product, Instillation # , and enter * for System ID. The search result returned no system found. The problem here is we don't really have any system ID defined for SAP ERP IDES since we haven't start installing the system.
Is that true that I will only see the System ID in OSS Message interface when I submit the System ID for the license key?
I thought this is a post-installation step to apply for a license key. If I can to do it before the installation, how can I get the 11 character hardware key before installation (assuming I cannot run the SLICENSE TCode and saplikey u2013get command)?
OR how can I create OSS message to request SolMan key when I don't have a system ID (that already registered for license key) in SMP?
OR I should just go ahead to install Solution Manager to generate Solman key (during pre-installation), and request for license key in SMP in post-installation?
Thanks for advise,
KC

Disaster Recovery For SAP ECC 6.0 On Oracle

Hi All,
This is our infrastructure
Windows 2003 Server
SAP ECC 6.0
Oracle 10
Legato Networker Client / Library
Actually our Backup Strategy is to do an Online Backup Every Night from monday to saturday. We want to test our backup by doing a Restore. We are assuming a complete loss of the system including hardware.
What we do:
1. Install the SAP System on a new host with the same hardware characteristic of the source system.
2. Install & Configure the legato utility.
3. Copy the E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\ directory from the source system to the test system.
4. Them we put the database in mount mode.
5. Execute the command: brrestore -b bdyxwoqv.fnf -m full (bdyxwoqv.fnf-> Full Online Backup that was executed without problems).
It gives the following errors:
BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA2\SR3_10\SR3.DATA10' reported as not found by
backup utility
BR0386E File 'F:\ORACLE\MIS\SAPDATA3\SR3700_9\SR3700.DATA9' reported as not foun
d by backup utility
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0279E Return code from 'backint -u MIS -f restore -i E:\oracle\MIS\sapbackup\.
rdyybrzp.lst -t file -p E:\oracle\MIS\102\database\initMIS.utl': 2
BR0374E 0 of 63 files restored by backup utility
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0231E Backup utility call failed
BR0406I End of file restore: rdyybrzp.rsb 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0280I BRRESTORE time stamp: 2008-10-01 17.45.19
BR0404I BRRESTORE terminated with errors
Since this is a new SAP system it never will find the SAPDATA files because they where on the source system and this is a new test system.
We found the following note:
96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on Oracle
But this note is for SAP R/3 no for SAP ECC!
It explain that you have to install your SAP system with the System Copy Method (is this the only way??).
2.) Installation of the R/3 System
The installation of SAP software contains the software installation of the database. The initial SAP database should be created again but the SAP data should not be loaded.
Install the SAP system with the Oracle-specific system copy method, which is based on backup/restore. This method is described in the system copy guide for your Product/Release. Refer to Note 659509 for products that are based on Web AS.
3.) Modification of the installation
Above all, you must take into account the mounted file systems at the time of the loss. If necessary create new SAPDATA directories (mount points). These generally identify a disk or a logical storage area (logical volume).
Are we working in the right way? maybe there is a formal procedure to do a Restore from an Online backup when you complete loss your system.
Please some tips.
Best Regards,
Erick Ilarraza

Hi Eric,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I will follow the Note 96848 Disaster recovery for SAP R/3 on ORACLE point 5.
5.) Restore profile and log files, as you sayed in case of disaster we will lost our "source" system.
On the other hand to configure the legato client we take care of the name of the server, we configured the .sap, .cfg and .utl files so in theory the restore will be done on the new test system since we run the brrestore command from that system.
Officially there is not a documentation from SAP to do a Restore from a Online Backup with SAP ECC, SAP Netweaver (ABAP / ABAP + Java). You only have the 96848 note??? I found the following information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/65/cade3bd0c8545ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
But there is not a official procedure like a System Copy Guide or Installation Guide.

Sql Server configuration requirements for SAP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am using Sql server 2005 Enterprise as data store for Sap ecc 6.0.There are certain configuration requirements to be done while installing it so that sapinst.exe (sap installer) is able to use it to create its own DB's.
For eg it requires a collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 whereas the default that gets installed is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
Like this there are other requirements which I am not aware of.Most of the docs available on the Internet are talking of ecc 6.0 with Oracle 10.2G which is the most common combination.I am having docs for this combination.
I am installing ecc for the first time.
*I am unable to download docs from sap. marketplace as it requires a login given to certified users or sap purchasers.I am neither.*
Can anyone help me with this.If anyone has ECC 6.0 installation guide with sql server it will be serve my purpose.
Thanks for your efforts.

"Excuse me?
What he is doing is illegal , you know what that means, right? If you don't believe me, read the license that comes on the first installation DVD.
Actually, I even think it's kind of barefaced to ask in the forum of the software vendor for help! I mean, it's like asking in a bank forum how to rob and fraud the bank! You - and many others - may think that it's right and ok to do that. I tell you: it is not. Not for "home use", not for personal use, not at all.
You can use the software available here in the SDN to lean and study, that's why it's there.
If you deal at all with copied software, then just be smart enough to make other people not notice. He can be happy if he's not prosecuted (which would legally be possible)."
Do u understand what is legal or illegal? Have u read the license in full?
The license does not put any limit on the number of users.So if I am using it means that one more user has been added by the license holder.
Therefore there is nothing illegal about it.
It would have unethical (not illegal) if the software is being used for a business purpose other than for which it has been purchased.
Since it being used for training purpose the above does not hold good.
In fact it is SAP who is benefited in the long run bec' after a person learns it technology because he is going to implement it somewhere, for which the concerned user will have to purchase a license.Therefore I am helping SAP to increase its business.
But there are some stupid people who don't understand these things but are ready to shout at the top of their voice thinking themselves to be intelligent.

File system for SAP ECC, EP , BI and CRM installation on Solaris/DB2

Hello,
We are going to implement SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7, BI and CRM on Solaris operating system with IBM DB2 database.
All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
If anyone able to help me with required Solaris file system. it will be great help.
Please let me know if there is any query.
Thanks.

> All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.

Why not using Solaris zones/container? This decreases the administrative amount tremendeously since you will deal as with "single machines" but they all run together on one box.
> Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
So you'd need to read the installation guides

MessageBox on Adobe Form in SAP MSS PCR for SAP ECC 5.0

Hello,
I have a question regarding the behavior of Adobe form messagebox in SAP HR MSS PCR (Personal Change Request)
I tried to test how the messagebox looks like, and so I created a PCR scenario with an Adobe form. This form contains a datetime field. I added the script "xfd.host.messageBox("this is message", "this is title") to the "exit" event of the datetime field. Then I did all the necessary steps so that this PCR is displayed in the Portal.
Now at the runtime, when I select a date value from the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed, BUT within an empty Adobe Reader page. It is not displayed on the top of my adobe form.
But the strange thing is that when I use tab key to navigate through the datetime field, the messagebox is displayed on the top of my adobe form, without the empty Adobe Reader page.
I also tried my script with several different event types, including "Change", and "Validate", it behaves the same way. But when I tried it with the event type "MouseExit", no empty Adobe reader page is shown up at all (of course, this is not the right event type for me)
The environment is SAP ECC 5.0, SAP MSS business package for ECC 5.0, SAP Portal 7.0 (NW 2004s), Adobe LiveCycle 7.1, and Adobe Reader 8.1.1
Has anyone experienced this? I'd really appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Harrison

Antony,
The Adobe Reader version is 8.1.1
Just wondering if you used messageBox in interactive forms with ISR framework, and it worked well for you?
Thanks.

How to block field groups instead of fields on tcode BP in SAP ECC

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know how I can block modification of entire tabs in tcode BP for a given user access role instead of down at the field level only? Example: how can I make the entire Address tab of the General Data view nonmodifiable instead of having to find the field grouping for Street 2 and make it nonmodifiable? It would be much faster and easier if I could block tabs at a time for specific user roles, ex. allow Cashier to modify banking related fields but not general data fields.
So far I've successfully tested making individual fields non-modifiable by finding the correct field grouping (ex. field grouping 63 for Street 2) and adding this to SPRO: Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Authorization Management -> Define Field Groups Relevant to Authorizations.
Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

The control I use is a Person/Group Picker. I tried in Property Promotion selecting either DisplayName, AccountID or even the PCPerson but none of them would give me the "Return Field As" field enabled to select to return as email. It stays
as grey out, disabled, and return as string.
I suspect this is also why I'm not getting the email when workflow starts. Where can I check if an email is sent? I have it sent to myself, by selecting myself in the Person/Group picker but I haven't received any emails.
Thank you.

Reg: Replacing i-way with PI for SAP ECC 6.0 version

Hello Experts
currently we are using R/3 4.7 version and middle ware we are using is i-way and we are planning to upgrade to ECC 6.0 and i would like to know how compatible is i-way is with SAP ECC 6.0 and is there any neccessity to replace the same with PI.
and currently we are using RFC as a method of communication between R/3 and i-way and in future i don't want to change the existing coding , is it feasible to use PI via RFC.
As i am ABAPer, i am new to this PI and please let me the know the risks involved and it is viability.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Gavin,
you should always use the SQL EE for SAP installations (because of additional features that only come with EE).
Concerning SQL 9 or SQL 10, I would definitely go for SQL 10. It has some nice features like Backup Compression, Page/Row Compression and so on. Have a look [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60a236a2-8104-2b10-5ebe-8fef61cc82fd]. Just make sure that your installation meets the SR3 requirements.
We already have SQL 10 in production and did not encounter any problems.

Sven
