Additional file usage

Hi all,
When we create a orginal application file in a DIR , we can create an additional file with original application file. Such additional file can be template or layout or picture.
I am able to create an addtional file with original application file. How to view this addtional file in DMS?
Also for what purpose we can use this application ?
Thanks,
Hemant

SAINT or SAPEHPI to add additional technical usages?

I'm not sure whether to use SAINT or EHPI to add additional technical usages. I've seen comments recommending both ways but haven't found anything definitive from SAP. Note 1298878 "Installation of SAP Enhancement Package 5 on SAP ERP 6.0" says in section VII/...SAINT Passwords:
"These passwords are only required, if you install additional technical usages with SAINT. This is only possible for systems, which have the technical usage "Central Applications" already installed."
It then lists some components but it isn't really clear that all components should be installed with SAINT. Is there any definitive documentation I'm missing? Thank you,
David

I found it!
On page 30 of the document "How to Install SAP Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0. A Practical Guide" it says
Installation of Additional Technical Usages
ABAP
To install additional technical usages after you have already installed technical usages of enhancement package 5 with SAPehpi, use the following tools:
- If the technical usage Central Applications of enhancement package 5 is already present in your system, use transaction SAINT. Make sure you import the newest SPAM/SAINT update before installing additional technical usages with transaction SAINT. You also have to generate a stack configuration file with the SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer. If you want to use the parallel import feature of R3trans, follow the instructions of SAP Note 1309506.
- If the technical usage Central Applications is not yet installed in your system, use the SAP Enhancement Package Installer.
Good luck all,
David

Additional technical usages

When installing an ERP 6.0 EHP4 system, you install an EHP4 Ready System and then install EHP4 with SAPehpi. For this you have to choose all the needed business functions and then map them with note 1165438 to the needed technical usages. So far, so good....
My question:
What's happening, if later (after EHP-installation) new business functions/technical usages for example Human Capital Management or HCM Self Services are required ? Is it possible to add additional technical usages to the system (even if the EHP4-level stays the same) and how will this be done ? I have looked into a lot of documentation of service.sap.com/erp-ehp, but this is not clear for me.

Hi,
After upgrade, if you need to install additional usage type then you can install it with SPAM/SAINT but you need to have stack xml file for this. You can get this information in Technical FAQ guide on http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp.
Thanks

Additional Files in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I have to collect 2 files (IN.txt, IS.txt) and attach 2 files as an attachment to mail.
So I opted Additional Files in Sender File Adapter
Source Directory = D:\usr\sap\pitest\LoadTest\Output\Invoice
File Name = IN.TXT
Additional Files
File List <IS.TXT>
<IS.TXT>.namePart               ".TXT"=".TXT"
<IS.TXT>.optional                  NO
<IS.TXT>.type                       TXT
But I am able to Pick only one file (IN.TXT) from the Source Directory.
IS.TXT file is not at all picking.
Please give me your suggestion.

I reply just want to close this issue.
if file Name = Item.TXT and additional file name is ItemText.csv then configuration as following.
File List <Item.TXT>
<IS.TXT>.namePart               ".TXT"="Text.csv"
<IS.TXT>.optional                  NO
<IS.TXT>.type                       TXT
for namePart parameter, we should give the str which need to be replaced. for your example, we could give as <IS.TXT>.namePart               "IS.TXT"="IN.TXT"
replace all the file name.

High Page Reads/Sec on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit running on VMware but very low Real Memory & Page file Usage.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on the description, we can try to download Server Performance Advisor (SPA) to help further analyze the performance of the server. SPA can generate comprehensive diagnostic reports and charts and provides recommendations to help you quickly analyze
issues and develop corrective actions.

Time Machine: External Hard Drive with Additional Files + Back-up

Hi-
I am hoping someone can clarify something for me. I use a 500GB external drive (WD-My Book) to back-up my macbook periodically (2x month). I also use this same external drive to store additional files from an old computer.
I just spoke with some folks at Apple and they confused me and made me think that I might have inadvertently deleted some of the original non-back-up files. However, I have scoured the drive and everything seems to be there IN Addition to the backups.backupdb folder.
Can someone reassure me that I have not somehow corrupted/lost either the original files or the back-up files?
I have read the tutorials posted in 2009 - and realize that I should have partitioned the drive, but I didn't. Moving forward I will purchase a dedicated drive just for back-ups - but want to be able to sleep tonight and not worry . . .
Thanks!

Wow-Thanks again.
Apple Support was marginally helpful. After the rep told me I probably lost data, my anxiety rose . . .
My original Time Machine question to Apple Support =
My MacBook cannot handle all the media I have. So, I bought a Seagate 1TB to hold movies, photos, and music. If I have the 1TB Seagate plugged in to my MacBook at my designated back-up time, will Time Machine back both the HD and Seagate 1TB to a new (yet-to-be-purchased) 2TB External drive (which will be purchased solely for Time Machine files)?
Yes, as long as both are formatted for a Mac (see #1 in Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks).
The Seagate might have been automatically excluded from backups; if so, it's easily removed, via Time Machine Preferences > Options. If it's listed in the exclusion box +*in black,+* (while it's connected) just select it and click the minus sign at the bottom. If it's listed in gray, it's not formatted properly -- Time Machine can't back it up, and you can't remove it from the exclusion list.
I'm having a difficult time knowing if I'm utilizing Time Machine properly. Since I have a MacBook it doesn't make sense for me to have Time Machine continuously running in the background. So, I only back-up 2 or 3 times a month. And, each time - I seem to get nervous that I'm not doing something correctly.
Time Machine was designed to back up hourly. On a desktop Mac, it's best to let it do just that.
On a laptop, of course, that's rarely practical. But you probably should back up more often -- when your internal HD fails (they all do, sooner or later), or something else awful happens to your Mac, you risk losing everything you've done since the last backup. Think of your Address book, browser bookmarks & history, documents, and especially your media files.
You might want to consider backing-up over your network. It doesn't sound like you also have a desktop Mac, but if you do, you can back up to a "shared" drive on it.
It's a lot more money, but Apple designed the Time Capsule as a combination wireless router and hard drive specifically for Time Machine backups. Most folks do the initial backup while connected via an Ethernet cable, but subsequently Time Machine can do those hourly backups wirelessly, as long as your Mac is awake and in range of the Time Capsule. See http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC344LL/A/Time-Capsule-2TB?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mc o=MTMzNzU2MjI
But as long as you're diligent about doing your backups regularly via an external drive, a TC may not be worth the big bucks, especially if you already have a wireless router.

ZIP FileName (Additional Files)

Hi, My sender FTP channel picks two files Main& Additional file suing adavanced options and zips it using Payloadzipbean and writes to the target without any mapping,however the name inside the zipped file is "MainDocument & File"
How can i get the original file name as in the source directory inside my zipped file? I think I need a module for this but not sure how to access the source filenames inside the module any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks Ryan, as i cannot attach the screenshot here is how the soap header looks..
<Inbound Message>
<Soap Header>
<Soap Body>
<Payloads>
MainDocument (application/xml)
<File> (application/xml)
<Receiver Identification >
The two payloads when doubleclicked opens up the pdf documents, The dynamic Configuration contains the name of the Main Document i.e..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">601070461-601070461-WB.pdf</SAP:Record>
</SAP:DynamicConfiguration>
Now when I use PayloadZipBean in my reciever File adapter the zip file is written as
Output.zip->when Unzipped>MainDocument &_File_ , with no extensions.
I have tried to include a custom module before PayloadZipBean to set the ContentType of the MainDocument and gave the parameter zip.filenameKey = contentType ,but still the Archive filename in the zip file does not change.
Kindly let me know if you need further info..struggling wid this ) i could send the screenshots to ur mail(if u ok to provide)
Many Thanks,

What is the use of additional file(s) in sender file adapter?

Hi experts,
what is the use of additional files parameter in sender file adapter?

Specifying Additional Files in an FTP Sender Adapter

Hi,
Has anyone worked out how to specify additional files in a File/FTP Sender Adapter using the FTP transport protocol? This functionality comes 'standard' in the File/FTP Sender Adapter using NFS transport protocol so that additional files can been included as attachments, however, it doesn't seem to be available when trying to use the FTP protocol.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Reuben.

Yes this is available in only NFS mode check sap help

Accesing additional files in the sender adapter

Hi,
I'd like to use this option in the sender file adapter: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/692ab8a4b633eae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
--> "In the sender file adapter, you can specify additional files to be included in the XI message as attachments" ... "Additional files are transported unchanged without conversion options"
After testing I'm getting two files in the soap message, which is what I wanted. But how can I get the content of the second file (not the main one).
For example, in a custom module in the file adapter I can get the main payload as this:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputModuleData)
                                   throws ModuleException {
Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
I guess that to get the second file it could be something like:
inputModuleData.getSupplementalData("?");
but don't really know what to insert there as a parameter.
Basically I would need to find out a way to access the content of that second file: it could be in a custom module, it could be in a graphical or java mapping...
Thanks!
Edited by: Jorge Lopez on Mar 17, 2009 11:09 AM

Finally I could access that attachment in a Java mapping using this code:
private String getAttachment(TransformationInput in){
     InputAttachments inpAttach = in.getInputAttachments();
     Collection<String> collIDs = inpAttach.getAllContentIds(true);
     Object[] arrayObj = collIDs.toArray();
     getTrace().addInfo("Number of attachments: " + arrayObj.length);
     String idAttachment = (String) arrayObj[0];
     return new String(inpAttach.getAttachment(idAttachment).getContent());
and so getting the attachment in a string.
You also have to set on the flag "Read Attachments" in the Operation Mapping (PI 7.1, old Interface Mapping), so that the ABAP side passes the attachment to the Java runtime.
I'm not sure if it's possible to access the attachment in the sender adapter in a custom module

How to handle additional files.

Hi,
In PI we can pick up additional files in the Sender File Adapter.
My scenario would require to pick up invoice1.txt and and invoice1.jpg (the .jpg is the additional file)
I need to get FCC for .txt file, map it, and send it out to R3 with a proxy.
The additional file should go to a share (also on the R3, and then be accessible via a link)
Is this possible?
What configuration is needed to separate the .txt from the .jpg? Would it require BPM?
Any useful pointers/documents on the subject would be appreciated
kr
Robert

Hi,
I know how to configure the sender file adapter to pick up the additional file.
What i am looking for is how to handle it inside the integration engine, because i need to split the message from the additional file.
As mentioned above i need to send the .txt file via proxy to R3 and the .jpg file as is to R3, but it needs to go a share on the R3 directory.
file.txt + file.jpg --> Sender File Adapter --> PI / --> Proxy --> records form the file.txt
\ --> Receiver File Adapter --> .jpg
Thx
Robert

After signing with e-signature acrobat creates an additional file starting with aa

I open a file and place a signature on the document. After placing the signature, and locking the file on save, it overwrites the existing file fine, however it creates an additional file in the folder and the files start with aa. example: aab03284 (No file extension is attached)

I have also had this issue - and it just randomly started happening, along the same time the request to do EchoSign disappeared (not sure if they are related). I'll save as over top the existing file, and it asks if I want to do that, I hit 'yes' and it then creates a temporary file instead of saving it over the existing. I have to then go back in, 'save as' again, say that I want to do that again, and then it finally saves over it correctly.

Adobe X Pro - requires additional files to be installed by system administrator...

Error message:
Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have Administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator.
1) just an 'ole lady here - on a pc - not a system administrator (though I think have admin rights in windows 7).
The details:
a) had a lenovo small format pc running XP - Acrobat X Pro worked fine on this pc, could create pdfs and fillable forms etc.
b) Just bought a used pc with Windows 7 Enterprise - after a week of issues - duh - I realized X Pro was not working on the new(used) pc, except to let me open a pdf, and even add a text box, or sign or line out a change in a pdf. - that is all it will let me do..
c) I had a purchased CD of Adobe Pro Standard. In 2012, I was able to upgrade it to Adobe X Pro 10, while still on XP, with a digital download, for which I have the registration key.
The X Pro version showing this morning was 10.1.12 (before I uninstalled it, and I assume after various updates).
I've also tried repairing the installation - and selecting the function I need PDFMaker (to work with MS Word) -
I have uninstalled Adobe, and re-installed it, from my old downloaded file the version is 10.0.0
Finally read that I should have deactivated it on the old pc.
Called Support, and they gave me an all new, full version (download) of Adobe X Pro at 5 pm est, and a NEW S/N.
I uninstalled, the old version, ran ccleaner, restarted the pc, installed the new X Pro 10.0.0, used the new s/n and still cannot use Adobe.
Still can't, create a pdf, combine files from word or create a form from a word doc - nada. Also, do not seem to have Adobe Reader anywhere on this pc, either (a good thing from what I've read).
When I was on XP I did not have this problem. Now that I am on Windows 7 Enterprise, I have the problem.
(I am using MS Office 2003 and do plan to update to 2010. Using Google Apps for Work, small business working from home, did not like Office 365 since I am on a MiFi hotspot for internet (country living))
Maybe all of this was more information than you'd want or need... just was not sure what is is causing the conflict/problem.
Feeling out of my depth with this and really need some guidance / help / specific steps to take - Thanks in advance for your help!
Linda

Hi Linda,
Please try the steps mentioned below:
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

Actually, it's a breath of fresh air getting all of the info needed to help.
But now the bad news. You're in the forum for Adobe Reader, but you want to post in the Acrobat forum from the sounds of it (many more pro's there for your product).
Here's a link and good luck. Acrobat

Deletting the file that has been used in 'Additional Files' in FILE SENDER

Hi people.
I've developed an interface that has to send a ZIP file to an email address.
I pick that file using a dummy file. This file is picked as an attachment and has been defined in 'additional parameters' of SENDER FILE.
My problem is that i want to delete that 'additional file' once it has been procesed. I think that this could be done running an operating system command.
My problem is that i don't know how to do this in UNIX systems.
Can anyone tell me how to delete (in UNIX) a file with name dummy.zip located in folder /usr/sap.../ ?
Regards,
Inigo

You can probably do this by executing a shell script on the server!
You can only run commands on the PI Server
See here for details and help on writing shell scripts!
