Adivce for System Rebuild

Hello,
I am going to rebuild my system due to many issues I'm having and was wondering the steps I should follow to ensure my iPhoto files restore correctly.
1) What files should I back up?
2) Once I've rebuilt the system how do I restore those files so I don't have to rebuild the events, folders, etcetera?
3) Kind of off topic but if I rebuild my system can I still map my existing time-machine back-up to the new install?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How do you plan to reinstall your system? Unless you're have very serious problems with it I suggest you do an Archive and Install with the option to preserve the user and internet settings. This will give you a new system but keep your User account intact along with all internet settings, i.e. Mail and MobileMe accounts.
If you use the Erase and Install method you'll need to backup your entire User folder, any additional applications that you've added to the applications folder. After the installation is complete you'll need to create a new user account and copy back all of your user files including your User library folder, reestablish activation keys for those applications that require it, etc.
That's why the Archive and Install is a good way to go. Thes Apple documents give more info on the A&I method:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2196
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I get CS4 Licence number update, when program not deactivated before system rebuild

My laptop recently had to have a clean system rebuild, when I got it back i couldn't get the licence numbers to

Hi Kartikay,
Thank you for that, I need to feedback, as from your reply I deduce that you are an Adobe staffer. I had two interactions earlier today with the chat line. The first interaction was terminated while I was still typing in Licence numbers so he/she could check product etc. So I got nothing from that it lasted about a minute. My second interaction was going well my having asked the agent not to hang up while i was typing, after about ten minutes, he was just about to issue a new licence number, when a message came up saying chat was no longer available. I have been unable to connect with the chat line since it keeps saying I should quit the browser before starting the chat again, but the same message comes up even after doing this. So I am well p....ed off with Adobe support at the moment. I still don't have a full working CS4 suite, although some parts are now working.

IDOC-Xi-IDOC: CRM - XI -R/3 (No service for system SAPOCC, client ** in ID)

Hi all
I am doing a scenario IDOC - Xi - IDOC where CRM sends an IDOC to R/3 via PI.
I have configured everything in OCC (CRM system), PI and BSC (R/3 system) but when I test it with the transaction WE19 in OCC nothing happens in PI or BSC.
All i can see if a message in SM58 transaction in OCC.
Function Module - IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS
Target System - XI.
Status Text - No service for system SAPOCC, client *** in Integration Directory.
Could anyone tell me what is the problem.
Your help will be very much appreciated
Regards

Error message: No service for system SAPCRD client 201 in the integration directory
Cause: There is no service without party in PI server that represents OCC server with client details.
Solution:
We send IDocs from system OCC to PI. In the control record (Segment EDIDC40) of the IDoc, the SNDPOR (SenderPort) field contains the value "SAPCRD". The client of the sending system is determined by the MANDT field of the control record. The system ID and client are then used to determine a service without party of the type (business-system/business-service)
In System Landscape Directory (SLD) create a technical system for OCC system and assign a client for the same. Don't forget to assign an "ALE logical system" to the technical system created. Create a business system for this technical system. Then Business System can be imported under service without party/update the details existing in PI.

Basis: No service for system , client in Integration Directory??

Hi All,
IDocs from SAP QA are not being sent to PI QA. I see error in SM58 in SAP QA as: No service for system , client in Integration Directory. Please dont jump to asnwers by looking at above error. I could fix that, but thats not the real problem.
Because I have checked
1) SLD home page ---> Technical Landscape --> Select Web AS ABAP --> Select the technical system --> Clients ---> Click on the client used as Business system --> Here look for the logical system is defined (No Problem here, as logical systems is defined).
2) ID---> Click on Objects --> Service Without party/Party > Double click on business system>On the tright side--> Service --> Adapter specific Identifiers ---> Check IDoc Adpater, Logical System (No Problem here as I see Logical System).
But I can't find values R/3 System ID and Client under "IDoc Adapter and RFC Adapter". I think thats problem here, when I click on "Compare with SLD" in edit mode, values are not getting populated into R/3 System ID and Client. It makes think there is communication error from ID to SLD. How I do confirm if its the real problem?
3) Checked Note 940313 - IDoc adapter: Error messages in SM58, No problem here
4) Did SLDCHECK from PI QA, works fine, no problems here
Both PI DEV and PI QA pointing to the same SLD. When I send IDocs from SAP QA to PI DEV, everything works fine. I can't send IDoc from SAP QA to PI DEV (changed RFC des to point to PI QA, it shouldn't be a problem).
How do I find out if communication between PI QA - ID is workign fine with the SLD? Is there any other issue you can think of causing the above error?
Thank You,
Indrasena Janga

*I have trobleshooted a similar issue. In my case also the tRFC failed with the error "No service for system SAP, client 400 in Integration Directory".There were 11 IDOCS associated with this tRFC and when I saw control record of first IDOC,in sender information ,the sender partner number was wrong.Instead of "SAPSID",it was found as just "SAP".Where as the remaining ten were maintained with correct sender partner number.remaining ten IDOCS were dependant on first one.
Thanks,

Unique id For System Message

Dear all,
Any one can please tell me the unique id for System Message. Also i want to know the unique id for 'yes' and 'No' in System Message. Its very urgent
Thanks in advance
with Regards
G.shankar

System message has formtype = 0. The Yes and No button has no ids for sap, but when you want to press one of this button, use sendkeys as SBO_Application.SendKeys("") or tab for No (default is Yes).
For accesing to correct system message, use some global variable and there before showing system msgbox set some value and compare it after showing.
hope it helps

Amount of temporary tablespace size used for index rebuild

Hi All,
I want to know approximate amount of temporary tablespace size used for index rebuild. I need this information to avoid the insufficient temporary tablespace error during the huge index rebuild.
Is there a query or procedure to find it out.
Thank you.

Hi,
While creating the index, the temporary segment is created in the permanent tablespace. So permanent tablespace must have sufficient space.

Should I combine two 1Tb drives into one logical 2Tb drive or use one 1Tb drive for system/apps and move /users to the other 1Tb drive? (I'd like ease of b/u too.)

Hello,
I have two 1Tb drives in my Mini, the first is full and the second one empty. (I've been using the 2nd for Time Machine but the full source from dirve 1 soon has Time Machine complaining.) I am contemplating whether to form one 2Tb logical drive from the two 1Tb drives or segregate their use, i.e. use the first 1Tb drive to hold the system and applications while moving the /users directory tree to the second 1Tb drive?
I'm assuming both are straight forward to do accomplish but have nagging doubts about segregating drive usage, will moving the /users directory tree to the second 1Tb drive:
impact apps which might otherwise expect to see particulat fies and directories in specific user related locations on the system drive;
hinder backing up (by having to setup two separate Time Machine activities)?
Finally, is there a better 3rt option?
Thanks,

Thanks and sorry Allan,
The supplementary questions would arise should I NOT chose to combine the separate drives into a larger logical one but to keep one of the two drives for system/apps and the other for users data... I assumed that segregating drive usagel like this might reult in issues with apps which might expect to see some user directories/files on the same drive as the system/apps. similarly, with two physical drives, I'd be looking to managing separate Time Mchines. (I have a few 2Tb pocket drives for backups.)
Final question - if I do combine into a single logical drive (for system, apps, /users ... the whole lot), would I have any problem getting this logical one working from a Time Machine backup? I ask that this backup was taken from the 1Tb physical drive and now I'd be looking to put it back onto a 2Tb logicl drive.
Thanks,

[Feature Request] Seperate tab in log window for System.err

By default, the stack traces of exceptions (and throwables in general) are printed to the System.err stream. So, wouldn't it be useful to include a 2nd tab for System.err messages?
It could be optional to either include or leave out the System.err output in the System.out tab.
The whole idea of this 2nd tab is to set it up like the search output tab: a tree-like list which can be expanded to see the stack trace of each exception that occured during runtime. A small parser can parse the stack trace when an exception is printed on the System.err stream and format it.
If this option would be availble in the debugger only, that would be ok too, I guess. Although, the debugger already has some other means of jumping through code when an exception is thrown (ie, when the debugger 'pauses' runtime).

I've logged an Enhancement request to improve the handling of System.err messages (2811508). There are ways to enhance the treatment of System.err messages without introducing a new tab, through the use of color, links back to the source code, and collapsing of entire stack traces to a single line (with a button to see the entire trace).
Thanks!

There is no iView available for system "SAP_ERP_Manufacturing"...

Hi out there,
I have imported the business packages Common Parts 1.2 and Maintenance Technician 1.2 in our portal testsystem (nw7, sps18). after setting up a system with alias SAP_ECC_MANUFACTURING and asigning the role com.sap.pct.erp.maintech.maintenance_technician to my super admin user I can browse through the navigation of this role and all the iviews do what they are supposed to to (e.g. I can call the "Technical Structure View" and create a notification for an object out of the list)...
When assigning the role com.sap.pct.erp.maintech.maintenance_technician to a test user (with the roles and groups from a simple enduser), I get the following error when trying to create anotification (or doing anything else in the technical structure view): There is no iView available for system "SAP_ERP_Manufacturing": object "notification".
I have checked the permissions in all relevant areas of the PCD. Everywhere there are at least read permissions for everyone. Also I have copied the iView com.sap.pct.erp.common.notification_create to another place in the PCD and added it to the operation "create" of the Business Object "SAP_ERP_Manufacturing.notification" (with the highest priority). But that didn't change anything...
Well, I don't know what else I could do to find out what's wrong. I just hope anyone out there can help me out... )
Best Regards
Juergen Kuechle.

Hi Thulasi,
sorry, but that's not the point. The system with alias "SAP_ECC_MANUFACTURING" is used to call the WD application in the R/3 backend system (which works out pretty fine). The WD application then calls back the portal using the object based navigation technology (OBN). In this case it calls the object SAP_ERP_Manufacturing.notification and tries to execute the iview linked to the action "create" of the object.
And here exactly is the problem that I'm facing. With the super admin user OBN works fine, with an enduser the OBN fails...
Regards, Juergen.

Portal error in SRM 7.0 -"There is no iView available for system "SAP_SRM"

Hi All,
We have portal ( SAP EP 7.0) as the front end for SRM 7.0 ,We have integrated SRM with portal through the system alias SAP_SRM.
With the PDP scenario the users are facing the below issue while they try to open any documents ( let it be RFx/contract).
"There is no iView available for system "SAP_SRM": object "cont". For more information, contact your administrator."
We installed the latest JRE (1.6.0.17) in the machine , but it didn't fix the problem. It appears to be a a lorcal issue with the settings in browser as some people ( very few) are able to open the documents.
Any pointers?
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
Pls check the portal content and portal roles with iviews maintained properly or not.
Pls chek this page for ivew and portal role matrix. and cross check with your portal roles.
This might help you.

Error while reading the ID of own business system from the SLD for system

Hello,
I try to send master material data from a 4.7 system via XI 3.0 to an autoID Infrastructure system 2.1. All Communication Channels, Receiver Agreements, Receiver and Interface Agreements are configured. The IDOC gets propper into the XI, Inbound Message is "green". Now, I get the following message:

Can anybody help me?

Probably, its due to incorrect RFC Adapter properties in config.
Go to Integration COnfiguration. Double Click on the Business System for your R/3 system. On the right hand screen, Click on Service-->Adapter Specific Parameters.
Check whether the Logical System Name comes up as SAP<SID> and whether R/3 system ID and Client are appropriate.
If these values are inappropriate, make changes to the corresponding Technical System defined in the SLD. After you have made the necessary corrections, come back to Integration COnfiguration, Double click on Business SYstem for R/3. Switch to Edit Mode. Click on Service-> Adapter Specific Parameters and then click on the Icon between Apply and Cancel buttons, inorder to compare with SLD and make those values reflect in config. Then click on Apply and Save the Business System.
After this, you can retry sending the message.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

Error while reading ID of own business system from the SLD for system D18

Dear guru's,
I have almost completed a file2proxy scenario but I'm stuk on the following.
When sending a message the outbound adapter says:
<b>Error while reading ID of own business system from the SLD for system D18 and client 200</b>
What's the problem? I'm using a HTTP connection in the comm. channel. In this http connection a user with SAP_ALL is defined.
Any suggestions?

Login to system D18 and client 200 and check the TC SLDCHECK and also as per my pervious message check the entries in the SLDAPICUST, it should point to the Server on which SLD is present usually XI server https.
Actually what happens in this error is when you are done with the configuration part in the ID, you are trying to eceute the scenario File to proxy, when it comes to identify the receiver system which is D18 clnt 200, it goes to SLD to check it and SLD is trying to ping to the machine D18 this connection is set from the TC SLDAPICUST on the machine D18.
here the problem is that either the D18 is not able to ping to the SLD and also try refreshing the SLD cache.
Hope you problem is fixed
