APO - Basic settings for setting up the system landscape

Hi,
I have a, hopefully small, issue regarding setting up the system landscape for our APO - R/3 environment.
In our test system in R/3 I need to specify the APO release, which is not a problem. The issue I have in R/3 is when I try to save the new setting. The system asks for a workbench request even if the test system has been "opened" by the Basis resource.
I would like to avoid creating a workbench request as we are using an external tool ( HP PPM ) for transport management and I believe I will get into trouble since this workbench request should not be transported further into our production environment. As I have understood from our APO experts the settings must be maintained per R/3 system (development - test/quality - production) as it is pointing to corresponding systems in the APO landscape.
The question is, does anyone know how we can maintain these settings without any workbench request being created?
This is perhaps not a APO question, but I'm not sure in what other forum I should post it.
Thanks for any feedback
Br,
Lars

Lars,
I have difficulty envisioning any situation when you would wish to make any transportable change (workbench or otherwise) in a test system.  The normal path would be to transport the change from the dev system into the test system.  I am unfamiliar with the third party software (HP PPM) about which you speak.  However, the standard controls currently used in your transport process (third party or otherwise) should limit which transports do and which transports do not get moved into your prod system.
I can think of several ways to approach this problem.  I think you should consult with your supervisor before attempting such changes, to ensure that you are complying with all policies and procedures that exist for your company.  In my company, this type of exception would require creation of special change management docs, and appropriate signoffs by management.
You are right this is not an APO question, it is a Basis question.  For advice on the technical aspect of your question, try one of the Basis forums.  Pick the one that is for the DBM you are using.

  • Setting Up the System Landscape for ESS

    Hello Experts,
    I am implementing ESS in portal.
    I am in step of defining systems in portal for ESS/MSS.
    Below is link I am following from help.sap.com
    [Link|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/5b/76a6d7fd3a4e91bfb422405bf3e04d/frameset.htm]
    In above link it is mentioned that we have to define following systems :
    SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources
    SAP_ECC_Travel
    SAP_ITS_XSS
    SAP_BSP_EREC
    Additionaly according to below Article in SDN :
    [Link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b2224432640a?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
    Following additional systems must be created :
    SAP_ITS_EBU Looks similar to SAP_ITS_XSS above 
    SAP_R3_Financials
    Now the basis person in my project has handed over to me following systems :
    SAP_BSP_EREC
    SAP_ITS_FND Name mismatch as FND is used in place of XSS or EBU
    SAP_R3_Financials
    SAP_WebDynpro_ESS Name mismatch as ESS is used in place of XSS
    Now below two systems are altogether missing as per first link on help.sap.com
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources
    SAP_ECC_Travel
    Please explain if it requires to be corrected or name mismatch and missing ststems would do.
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    All the above names that you are referring to are not necessarily separate systems.
    These are system aliases for a system object created in your portal via System Administration - System landscape.
    So, if you have HR and Finance on the same backend server, then you need only one system with the related system aliases.
    You will need SAP_BSP_EREC only if you are planning on using E-recruitment.
    Similarly, you will need SAP_ITS_XSS  only if you are planning on using any ITS applications.
    It is pretty straight forward to change/correct the names of your system aliases instead of changing the usage of these aliases every where else.
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources is absolutely necessary.
    SAP_ECC_Travel is required if you are planning on using travel and expense related applications.
    Also, note that SAP_WebDynpro_XSS should be the alias of the system where your webdynpro applications are deployed (typically the same portal server)

  • Premiere Basic Settings for MTS

    A bit new to Premiere but coming up to speed fast.  I have scoured the forums and docs for the following basic questions but have come up empty.  However, I am still unclear on what to use for the basic settings for my project to get me the best results.  Basically I want to create the project in Premiere and output it as an NTSC DVD via Encore.  I have .MTS files from a Canon HG21 shot as either MXP (1920x1080) for some projects and SP (1440x1080)  for others and so when I start a project, I:
    leave the Project presets but select the Capture Format as HDV
    not sure what to set for the Sequence presets.
    Would love any guidanceor pointers to the rights docs.  Thanks!

    I guess the HG21 is an AVCHD camera, it definitely is not HDV. You should use sequence settings that reflect the majority of your material. If 2/3 of your material was shot at 1920 x 1080, use that as the sequence setting and just use the rest of your material in that sequence.

  • Basic Settings for BADI

    Hi All,
    I would like to set BADI to transmit contracts from SRM to MM and I am going >>>Customizing under BADi --> Follow on documents --> Create Contract in back-end  but then I do not know how to move.
    Could you please explain me basic settings for BADI.How to set  and configure ?
    Thanks in Advance,
    #Bill J.

    Bill,
    Hi. You would only implement this BADI if you would like to modify the functionality/values of the contract interface to MM.
    To do this proceed as follows:-
    1) Press the execute button (As per you navigation in SPRO mentioned).
    2) Specify an implementation name (Start with a Z or Y) - press enter (You will need a developers key from service.sap.com)
    3) Give the implementation a name and SAVE to a transport package
    4) Select the interfaces table and navigate (double click) on the method applicable (CONTRACT_INTERFACE_FILL or CONTRACT_PROCESS_TYPE_FILL)
    5) Enter the code you would like SAVE & activate.
    6) Go back to the implementation (F3 to go back) and activate the implementation (CTRL-F3).
    7) Test and if this works transport the development through the landscape.
    Cheers

  • Basic Settings for Lifecycle planning

    Hello All,
    I want to maintain the basic settings of Life Cycle Planning to use Like Profile
    Transaction: /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST1 - Lifecycle Planning
    My question is; is it a must to use 9AMATNR and 9ALOCNO characteristics in our POS?
    I have seen the sentence below in OSS note: 354660
    **If you are using a characteristic for a product and do not want to use the 9AMATNR characteristic, you must specify the characteristic you would like to use.The 9AMATNR characteristic must exist in the planning object structure if you want to use it as a characteristic for a product.Only then can a LIKE profile be used.In this regard, see the information on the /SAPAPO/FCST_LIKE user parameter in note 350065.**
    What I understand from this sentence is that 9AMATNR is not an obligatory characteristic to use in POS for the purpose of life cycle planning.
    However when I do not use 9AMATNR I receive such an error message during the maintenance of Basic Settings for Life Cycle Planning.
    *Errors have been found in your Customizing settings
    *For detailed information, see consulting note #354660
    *The basic settings cannot be saved
    *Characteristic for product 9AMATNR is not in the planning object structur
    So, does anybody know if is it a MUST to keep the 9AMATNR in the POS for lifecycle planning? May be I am doing wrong something else...
    Thanks in advance

    While in DP MPOS you are free to choose custom characteristics for location and product, there are certain DP functionalities like Promotion Planning which normally uses 9AMATNR as characteristic for Product. In such cases the DP MPOS in absence of 9AMATNR has an issue. Through this assignment of location and product in the MPOS, system knows the custom characteristic that needs to be mapped to 9AMATNR and 9ALOCNO for product and location.
    This is useful during release from DP to SNP also.
    Hope this helps.

  • Basic Settings for Stastical Forecasting

    Hi Guys,
    Could you please provide the basic settings for Statistical forecasting.....
    Regards,
    Pullaiah.

    Hi Pullaiah,
            If you are doing stastical forecasting you have to do following setting,
    1. if you are running forecast engine at aggregated level then while creating planning area, you should define calculation type "p" for forecast key figure (For disaggregating forecast key figure at detail level)
    2.Check the forecastong box while design the planning book in initial tab page.
    3.Create forecast profile under the resopective planning area(/SAPAPO/MC96B).
    This is the basic setting you have to do before running forecast engine..
    Hope this will help you

  • When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set when the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?

    When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set after the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?.
    I'm not aware of anything I might have done, but it's annoying to want to use an icon on the 1st page, only to see all the icons on page 1 shift rapidly to the left
    and I can't find a way to shift back to page 1.
    Is there a way of getting all my Launchpad icons onto 1 page by adjusting their size?

    Thanks for that. I think the 2 little white dots were hidden by the white frame round the desktop picture on my screen
    As you can see from the pic, there is a broad white frame around the image.

  • Display the current mute setting in the system tray!

    display the current mute setting in the system tray! I hope the developers will fix this issue. THis is only available in jailbroken iphones now,
    I know i could use the switch on the side, but most of the time I'm looking on the screen on my iPhone not on the side. The problem is, that a miss incoming calls

    Right, but the original question was not, "do you think a mute status indicator on the screen would be useful". The question was whether there would be some way to implement one.
    In any case, what you seem to be overlooking is that there would be a lot of people who MIGHT need to be reminded of the mute status, PASSIVELY. Its a different cognitive operation, where the device takes the lead and reminds ME of its status, on-screen, (just as I look at it for other status indications, such as new email in inbox).. without me having to remember to think of the mute status question unprompted. I find it totally illogical that Apple left this out. It could be in the bar at the top with the other status indicators SO EASILY.

  • Enter rate EUR / USD rate type 00000000 for 8000000100 in the system settin

    Can u plz look into my problem. While loading the data through 2LIS_11_VAITM I am getting the following error:
    “Enter rate EUR / USD rate type 00000000 for 8000000100 in the system settings”
    I did Transfer exchange rate in RSA1-->source system..
    And for information this problem I am facing after upgrading..
    Can any body put some light on this…
    Thanks & Regards..

    Hi,
    You can maintain exchange rate factors in TCURF table via RSA1>source system>context menu (transfer global settings check only currencies, this updates TCURF table but also updates all currency related tables). You need to check what all tables you need to update. Also you can look into standard program RSIMPCUST to know what all currency tables will be updated.
    hope this help.

  • ERM -- unable to determine matching org. level for BRGRU in the system

    Hello,
    I have a problem.
    When I trY to import in the ERM (SAP GRC AC 5.3 SP5) a mass import of roles (derived roles) using the template Organizational Template.
    Some of the roles gives me this error:
    "Role not imported; unable to determine matching org. level for BRGRU in the system".
    In the file I put for example
    ZAPVAPINTE     BUKRS     0083
    Am I doing it right? or do I have to put $BURKS?
    Best regards.
    Pablo Mortera.

    I have found that when you run the background job "syncronization of the organizational values" it pulls the org value name and all "values" assigned to it.  If you don't have values specified (on the table level) for the org name, you get this error.  We have many fields that we use values for these fields but they aren't specified in the table.
    For example:  We have the org value "PLVAR" with the values "AL", "01", "02", "03", and "GB" assigned to it.  You can actually see these values in the backend system using SE11.  We do not get this error on this org value.  However, we have another org value "SACHZ" that we use, but we do not have any values assigned to it on the table level, so it is giving us this error.  We are trying to find out how to populate the "values" field since this was not done through configuration.
    Here are the steps:  (1) Go to SE11 in your backend system.  (2)  Put your org value (example:  PLVAR) in the "DATA TYPE" field and click display. (3) Double click on the Domain name.  (4)  Go to the Value Range Tab and click on the "Value Table" name if there is one.  This is the table that has the org values assigned in it - normally done through configuration. (5) go to Utilities --> table contents --> display.  (6) execute the table contents.  These are the values that the sync job pulls over.  If there are no values there or if there is no "values table" name, you get the error.  If there are values there, you don't get it.
    We are working with our technical team to get the values in these fields to see if that works.  Another quick way to see if there are values assigned to the org field is to use "Org Value Mapping" in ERM.  Select the "derived org level field" you want to see and click on the "org value from" magnifying glass.  If no values are there, a "values table" hasn't been populated in SE11. 
    It doesn't make much sense to me though because we can still use values for these fields for our derived roles....we just don't populate the table with them.
    I'll update this message if we find a solution.
    Thanks,
    Peggy

    You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
    If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.
