ADS Landscape recommendation

I'd like to know if ADS requires a three tier landscape in both scenarios below
- In case it is used for printing pdf only.
- In case it is used for interactive design document.
Also, I found that ADS is integrated with SAP PI 7.1. Is it fair to have ADS in the landscape with PI system or should we have it on a separate box ? I was not able to find any landscape recommendation for ADS in PI here.

It says ADS should not be installed with SAP Business Suite Applications.

There are 2 ways of handling this.
1) You can make master data compounded with source system id. This way source system will get added in the key of the master data and you will be able to store sames values of master data in the same object but uniquely identified with master data.
2) You can create Z objects as a template of standard master data objects. Similarly you can create cubes and DSOs in Z name space, taking the reference of business content.
I prefer the second approach as the volume of master data in one source will not impact the other source inadvertently.
But I will keep the attributes of both the master data with same technical names.
For example I will use 0MATL_TYPE as the attribute of material for all 3 source systems.
If required in future, I will be able to combine my data with these attributes.
Thanks,

Any landscape recommendations for 2004s BI & SEM-BCS 6.0 ?

Hi,
in addition to our ERP 2005 we plan to set up a separate central BI 7.0 for following integrated NW2004s scenarios:
- Enterprise wide central reporting, query and analysis.
- BI Integrated Planning (successor of SEM-BPS).
- SEM-BCS 6.0.
<u>Question:</u>
Should the BCS be installed on a separate system, because of patch interdependencies with the central BI?
If yes, does BCS still need its own local BI, or can it run remotely with the central BI (like the old BW-BPS)?
Similar sap recommendations exist only for SEM-BPS, which we won't use in favor of BI Integrated Planning.
I searched the whole sap.marketplace for this, in vain.
The installations and combination-possibilities are beautifully explained, but no official recommendations about what should all be put on one central BI and what should be better kept apart.
Rumors say you should keep SEM out of your central BI and give it its own BI, to avoid painful patch/release dependencies.
What about the "single point of truth"-conecept in one central BI then?
Thank's for any hints ...
Robert

Hi Eugene,
thanks for your callback. Here an example:
Say, you need a BI-Patch (urgent bug-fix) or may be a BI-Upgrade to be able to use new functionalities for your Enterprise wide central reporting, query and analysis (since you don't use the BI only for BCS).
So, you would have to wait, until the same is also available for SEM-BCS, as it it tightly coupled to the BI (e.g. direct writing to transactional cubes, query via virtual cube augmented with data at query-runtime).
Notes like 727776 and 317339 just make me suspicious.
A similar SAP Help-hint is only available for BW-BPS (but we will use BI integrated Planning)
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/44/584041b02e4c0de10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Since more and more SAP-Applications need a BI, i am desperately missing a comprehensive overview, which of them should not be placed in the same BI for technical reasons (e.g. one sap-note says Bank-Analyzer and SEM-BCS should not be on the same BI).
Regards
Robert

BW Landscape Recommendation

Hello,
I want to know what is the recommendation for the following scenario:
We have 3 differents ERPs (different servers), each one has its own independent data. We want to implement the BI Plaftform for the 3 enterprises. What should I do?
1. Implement one BW System and make a modification to the standard objects (ej: 0MATERIAL) to incorpore the Source System (ERP_1, ERP_2, ERP_3)?
2. Implement three BW System one for each ERP.
We don't need (for now) to do consolidated reports for the three companies. So, What is the best approach to this scenario? In my opinion, the second choice will generate a lot of maintenance work (installation, upgrades, etc).
Thanks & Regards

Requesting MII 12.x for a development environment landscape recommendation.

I have recently deployed a fresh ECC6 EHP5 system for development, we would like to explore using MII along with it but we are an ABAP shop. Since SAP no longer supports dual stack and we went with ABAP what are my options?
Can I have a separate install of EHP1 FOR SAP NW CE 7.1 ( Java Application Server ) on the same box or does that have to go on a different server?
Thanks!

Hi Thomas,
I am not sure the MII folks will be able to give you a good answer on an ECC install configuration question. I am not sure what forum would be best, but I suspect that there are several which would be much better than this one.

Could I have windows update virus on my macbook pro?

Since last week I have suddenly had what I think must be a virus where a message suddenly flashes up telling me that my java is out of date or that windows "has detected you need to update winupdate videos" and starts a countdown with no option to cancel or delete so I have to exit safari. It seems to happen most frequently when I'm on AOL. I've downloaded avast but that doesn't seem to be finding it and I've checked for software updates in case there is a patch but there are no software updates apparently. Anyone else had this? Got any ideas?

Thanks that is helpful. I actually have OS X 10.6.8
Well that does change things a bit. You probably know by now that Apple has terminated support for Snow Leopard and did not provide an earlier update for Java 6 and just this week failed to provide a Security Update. It probably won't take long for malware developers to start attacking SL vulnerabilities as we've seen in the past with older versions of MicroSoft Word (for example) and I'm sure we will see when Windows XP reaches end-of-life in April. So you need to start thinking about an OS X upgrade.
I just went looking for a browser extension that blocks ads - any recommendations?
I agree with Network 23 on AdBlock. Either ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin (don't use both & I use the latter since it does more) will result in faster browsing, reduced fan usage, and increased battery life.

Using more than one Solution Manager for different usages

Dear all,
we are using a solution manager system with >100 connected systems.
The system should primarily be used as service desk system, but is also used for BC issues (e.g. MOPZ,...) at the moment.
We have to implement a central monitoring system (CEN) using the CCMS infrastructure.
It is recommended to use a seperate system for this issue, because of high performance requirement and the requirement to have the newest support packages for CEN+MOPZ.
Because of that recommendation we are thinking about installation of a second solution manager system which should handle all BC and Monitoring (CEN+SolutionManager-Monitoring) issues.
Do you have any experience with such a landscape? Are there known problems respectively is such a landscape possible/workable? How should the systems be connected? ( client system<=>solman / solman<=>solman )
I regret that I could not find any official landscape recommendations from SAP for big landscapes (VAR environment)?
If you know any applicable documents, please let me know.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Sascha

Hi Sascha
Technically Solution Manager is being billed as the Central system for everything Service Desk, MOPZ and CCMS - one central location for all scenarios
One of the reasons for this is lifecycle management -- monitoring or EWA scenario finds a problem, service desk raises the issue, charm or mopz implements the solution and it is tested and distributed and the whole lifecycle is documented one system. Indeed I am aware of no functionality to integrate scenarios between Solution Manager systems - each Solution Manager system in your proposal will be standalone for each scenario
I can't provide guarantees because SAP recommend 1 Solman PRD only, but it might be possible to use another PRD Solution Manager system (or client) for scenarios that not already setup in the existing Solution Manager system - this certainly is the most possible way to have 2 PRD Solution Manager systems (or clients) running in parallel.
The key thing to be aware of is RFC conflicts - as each scenario usually has its own RFC this might be avoided - however
do watch out for situations where scenarios share RFCs or you if find RFCs existing with the same name OR client and SID in any systems in the following landscape
Landscape 1 - Satellite System 1 to Solman System 1 Service Desk, MOPZ
Landscape 2 - Satellite System 1 to Solman System 2 CCMS, EWA
Best wishes

Recommendation for maintaining pricing in CRM when R/3 is also in landscape

Hi,
in out context we have already SAP R/3 in the landscape, all the pricing in done in R/3. lot of custom pricing routines are also written in r/3.
now we in the process of implementing CRM and plan to do Quotations in CRM and replicate in SAP R/3 . what is the recommendation for such a scenario.
do we replicate all pricing conditions/procedures in CRM? do we need to re-do all procedures in IPC?
can we re-determine pricing in R/3 so that we can avoid such work in CRM? we are using configurable products in R/3.
please share your thoughts/best practices and any document will be of help.
thanks
RH

Hi Swaroop,
The Assignment of Buisness Partner classification from CRM to R3 is purely based on Classification
so your initial Entry
I chose B as classification & Z001 as an account group which is a copy of 0001. System takes it.
was taken by the system
now when you tried to make another Entry by the same Classification
chose B again & this time Z002 acc gp (copy of 0002), and system does not allow?
it checks for the Existing Classification and so does not allow the same
Delete the Previous Entry and then Try Entering the New Entry
The System shall Take it
Hope it Answered your Queries...
Revert Back for any Doubts..

Recommended Landscape for SAP

Hi Experts,
Is there a SAP recommended landscape when it comes to creating clients? For a example;
Development u2013 Client aaa u2013 ABAP & Config only. No master or transaction data in this client.
Client bbb u2013 Unit testing. Will include master & transaction data.
Quality u2013 Client ccc u2013 Only testing no changes for ABAP or Config
Production u2013 Client ddd u2013 Production client
Pls send me the links where I could locate the SAP recommended landscape, where Client details are included.
Thanks,
Sri

Recommended landscape for Solution Manager

Hello Evereybody,
We are planning to use almost all the Fuctionalities from SOLMAN like Change management,Operation Management,System Monitoring etc,
We are planning to go with SOLMAN DEV,QUALITY,PROD.
Could you please Add your comment in having 3 Solman systems in one Landscape?And how to manage?
Kindly provide me the list of clients who had Implemented 3 systems for Solman and howare they optimally using those 3 systems?
Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!
Pradeep.

Hi
For landscape you can check the FAQ section on Service Marketplace ->solution Manager under application lifecycle management
https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/support
To run SAP Solution Manager for minimal operations (i.e. Maintenance Optimizer, EarlyWatchAlert) a one-system landscape is sufficient. For mission-critical operations (Change Request Management, System Monitoring) the SAP Solution Manager is best run on a 3-system landscape (DEV, QAS, PROD).
Hope it helps.

Can someone recommend an efficient workflow for creating and maintaining web ads in multiple sizes?

I work for an online news site that runs ads from multiple clients. These ads (animated gifs) are sometimes run across multiple sizes (728x90, 510x60, 300x250, etc), and are often changed week to week.
Currently, I have a separate photoshop file for each ad & when a client requests a change, I have no choice but to go through and edit each individual ad size, then re-export themas animated gifs. Some clients require 4-5 different ad sizes, per ad, and if they change their mind on something, I have to go back and edit 4-5 ads. Each set of ads is saved in a dated folder that rests within the client's folder. We are extremely busy at work & the ads are piling up. Just wondering if someone had a good suggestion for an easier way to create & maintain these ads. I haven't used the asset generator...I'm wondering if that is a solution?
Also...bonus question ...with auto-select checked, is there a way to select items that are in a grouped folder without selecting the entire group? I currently have to uncheck "auto-select", select the layer in the layers panel and then am able to move the object.
Thanks in advance!

With the auto select, there is either a check box or a drop down selection to have it select layer or group.
Smart objects don't work for creating different size gifs?

Recommend document search and landscape

Thousands of people have asked for landscape mode typing support in iTunes reviews. Obviously this is essential to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome for any kind of long term typing. I think it's ironic that it's available for texting, web browsing and so forth but not for pages which requires a great deal more typing.
Also, I think it would be great to see search functionality integrated with iphone search field. I wanted to use pages for portable note taking, but it's far too time consuming to search dozens of documents full of notes manually for the thing I'm looking for.
Both these features are incuded in the FREE and extremely ghetto iphone notes app that came with the phone, and I think theres no reason not to have it in pages.
If anyone else reading agrees please let apple know at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback

Hello Priya,
Knowledge Search is used to search for solutions to problems using the Software Agent Framework (SAF) to search against the Solution Database (SDB) or other knowledge repositories that you configure (such as Case Management or Service Tickets).
The Document Search is for searching for related documents that might be linked to the confirmed account using Content Management.
You can find detailed information and configuration instructions in the online help.

Can i use Solution manager ADS for ECC6 ABAP

Dear All,
We have landscape of ECC6 ABAP (Dev, Qua, Prd), can i install and configure ADS on Solution manager(ABAP+JAVA) and connect all Dev , qua and prd to same solution manger for Adobe interactive forms. is it possible ?
for production environment?.
Regards
Vinay

Hello!
This was already discussed. E.g. here ADS install in Solution Manager.
While it is technically possible (to connect several systems to one ADS) it is not recommended for productive environment for some reasons (security, stability, performance and easy of maintenance). I say you can use you ADS on SolMan for DEV, QAS and number of your training/demo systems, but install separate J2EE with ADS instance (better on separate server) for productive use. You can then check ADS updates/patches on SolMan first without breaking productive system and only then (if successful) update productive.

Iphone 4s Wont flip to landscape and some apps are upside down

I have Iphone 4s and when I went to use it this morning the screen would not flip to the landscape. I checked the portrait lock was not on and I rebooted and reset and did hard reset holding home and power key at the same time till the apple appears. I attempted to reprogram by calling *228 as recommended and it will not allow my phone to call, it says "searching" then "call failed" I now notice it also has several of the apps and games upside down, such as Flashlight app, Temple run2, solitaire. words with friends is correct but all the ads that pop up are upside down. Anyone have any answers?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

ADS service (XMLForm.exe) Utilizes 30 to 40 % of Java Stack CPU

We are currently on ECC 6 and EP 7.0; we have started using ADS service (Generating buld PDF forms) and we are noticing that it utilizes upto 30% of CPU on the Java stack.
One thing to inform is that we are using the same Java Stack for Portal, BI and R/3.
30% of CPU seems abnormal to me (At the peak of its usage the Portal Performance goes down).
Will this issue get solved if we use a dedicated Java Stack for R/3? Your Thoughts Please.
Regards,
Deepak

SAP recommends very accurate (I better say pessimistic) sizing for server running productive ADS.
The best approach is to use standalone server for productive ADS usage.
IMHO, in that case you still can use the same ADS for productive, quality and even development usage.

I got this recommendation on a question I posted, is this safe?

Whenver I google anything I get tons of results for "blinkx" (see pictures) and there are ads that popup constantly (see pictures), I got the recommendation below...is it safe?
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-Vagain.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

As stated in 1.:
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
Obviously, it will not harm your computer provided you follow the instructions. However, if you don't post your results in the thread where you were given those instructions, then the person helping you cannot help you further. As he asks at the end, "please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created."
