Archive in SAP B1 8.81 PL06 - very small data reduction

Hi, I recently completed a data archive of 4 fiscal periods. The database size used to be 47G, and is now 44G... Not much of a data reduction in my opinion.
Can anyone lead me into a direction where I can find out why the database wasn't reduced very much? Did something not go right perhaps? I'm stumped as to why our database is so huge still... We're running very low on disk space for the DB, and so I am really hoping to trim it down as much as possible.
Thanks for any insight

Thanks for your replies
We archived off 4 fiscal years. The data reduction size was significantly small from the archive. I will take a look into the amount after the growth spurt in 2009 - 2011, perhaps that's what's missing... But I took your advice, and did a database shrink based on SAP's recommendations, and it reduced the database size another 15G!
Thanks again to everyone for their kind support and insight!

Archiving to SAP Content Server/MaxDB: TCP/IP errors when deleting in paral

Dear experts.
We are struggling to get the optimal setup for archiving to SAP Content Server using MaxDB. After running one or more archiving jobs for a few hours we suddenly loose connection to the Content Server, and we need to restart the content server before continueing. We long thought it was the logspace which was running full, but this was eliminated. Now it seems as the error occurs when 4 or more deletions jobs is running in parallel. (Write->Store->Delete).
The run-times on a typical archiving job for about 3 GB data would be W: 3000sec S:40sec D: 12000sec. In general the delete job takes about 3 times the write-job.
Everything seems fine until one suddenly get the TCP/IP error after some heavy archiving jobs.
Have anyone experienced anything like this, and are there any good ideas on how to avoid this?
Thank you very much for your inputs on this.

We were running 3 parallell delete jobs yesterday, and it all went fine until I started the 4th job, then all jobs stopped immediately. The KNLDIAG file at the exact time of the problem looks like this:

We have not yet looked at the tips regarding the windows errors, but will do that when we get the possibilty. In the mean time; do you read anything from this above? It looks like when several jobs are crashing at the same time there is one which has the "Time limit exceeded" and the rest TCP/IP error.
Could it possibly be the MAXUSERSESSIONS parameter, or are you still leaning towards something outside the database?

Archiving in SAP PI

Hello,
We are in process of archiving of SAP PI System.
The configuration of system is as below:
SAP Netweaver 7, SAP PI 7.0, Oracle 10g.
I checked the SXMSPMAST, and found that there are lots of entries which are in state ARCH.
SQL> select count(*) from sappip.SXMSPMAST where ITFACTION = 'ARCH' and MSGSTATE = '003';
COUNT(*)
11772771
Hence i schedule the "ARV_BC_XMB_WRP*" job. This job is getting sucessfully completed also the corresponding "ARV_BC_XMB_DEL*" job is also getting complted ( checked output of each deletion job , it shows more than 10K messages deleted in each jobs.)
I think this mean that messages are archiving and getting deleted from database.
But my concern are:
1) On daily basis there are approx 35 deletion jobs are running, But none of the job's output includes table SXMSCLUP. and in our case this
is the biggest table in the database.
eg: output of one deletion job is as below (
Production Mode: Statistics for Deleted Data Objects
Archive File Key 019170-006BC_XMB
Number of Deleted Data Objects 10.832
Deleted Database Space in MB 8,938
- Tables 7,531
- Indexes 1,407
Type No. Description
SXMSPEMAS 2.860 Integration Engine:
Enhanced Message Queue (Master)
SXMSPERROR 0 XML Message Broker:
Message Queue (Incorrect Entries)
SXMSPMAST 2.860 Integration Engine:
Message Queue (Master)
SXMSPVERS 8.580 Integration Engine:
Message Version
All the output of deletion job ARV_BC_XMB_DEL includes only these table.
So does these jobs will archive/delete the data from SXMSCLUP?
or we need to schedule some other jobs for this
2) Even though several archiving jobs are running ( The archiving job is schedule to run once daily ) there is not significent difference in
the count of ""no of messages for archiving" in the RSXMB_SHOW_STATUS. considering the message and adapter status.
( Count decrease by 30-40K/per day).if we consider proceeding with this speed, it will take huge amount of time to archive/delete messages.
Is there any workaround for this?

Hi Mark,
I am checking the messages on ABAP stack. The messages are missing and i am sure as i compared the messages of two consecutive dates and also sure those two messages are missing. Messages are not found in the table as well.
I will check the notes, and proceed if i get to understand something.
Meanwhile, actually two interfaces are involved here Sales and Loyality. Will try to explain the flow.
The messages are in flow as shown above. All other messages are available only these two are missing highlighted in red.
As logging_sync=1 so they are persisting but when delete job is running its lost while all other are available according to the retention period(40 days).
Do reply if anything strikes.
Thanks!

PDF font is very small 75% in email

Hi friends,
I have created a classical report.
Iam executing this report in Background, spool will generate and converting that spool into PDF format and sending mails to the client user id's.
But iam getting some problem in PDF font, by default if am sending mail to the user id, the font of that PDF file is coming 75% which is very small.
Now i want to increase the PDF font. For converting spool to PDF format iam using FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
passing spool number, output device and getting PDF output in a table IT_PDF_OUTPUT ( Like TLINE ).
Can any one help me regarding this.
Regards,
Sekhar.

Help me regarding this.

Hi Sanchit,
In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), it has two different rules in pagination: Physical pagination, Logical pagination.
Physical pagination is used to the print control and the TIFF and PDF rendering extensions. It is controlled by the PageSize properties.
Logical pagination is used to the HTML and GDI rendering extensions. It is controlled by the InteractiveSize properties.

Did the printing point of view is the situation when we click Print Layout icon in preview report? If we click the icon, the default setting is fit the report of the whole report. We can change it to other value to get a more large view. Please refer to

Citrix and SAP 8.8 : SAP crashes after choose country in master data

hi,
i'm using SAP 8.8 Sp00 PL06 and citrix xen app 5.
Each time the users try to add a new business partner and try to change the field country in business partner adresses the system crashes.
If i work directly on Server everything works fine. It seems that 8.8 has a problem with citrix.
Has anybody a solution for this problem
best regards
Markus

Hello,
backlink User Exits
My Company is the Maintainer of the Citrix XenApp 5.0 Farm.
Next to the SAP Crash Dump there are no eventlogs written down to the server.
Which Authorization Issue do you mean? Why there should be an Authorization issue if the Application (and others) are working correctly? There are only certain steps/processes which are crashing the application (within the application herself).
I've read about an mostly simmilar problem with webinterface 3.0 and SAP Business One Crashes. At this time the computer name was more then 15 characters --> crashing application.
There is again an access violation. I've read about printers. What about them?
greetings from Germany, Wiora Matthias

Ouput Inside of PDF email is now Very Small

Hi,
We have our SAP ouput go through scot and become a PDF on a regular basis. All of a sudden the image inside the pdf is very small compared to what it was the day before. This happened on one day, about 3 weeks ago.
ECC 6.0
1) Checked for transports that day. Cant find anything.
2) Checked pdf1 device type, all looks good.
3) Checked format and basic X_PAper so no change.
4) The SAP spool seems to be formatted normally and not small. (before it becomes a PDF)
Cant figure out what would have changed to make this start happening all of a sudden.
Any ideas?
thanks
brad

Hi Brad,
I suposse its either a problem on the compression (SAP note 843480?) or with the reader itself. Do you get the same problem on other workstations with other versions of Adobe reader or the reader you are using?

How to find inflection point in graph when dx is very small

Hello,
I'm trying to sort through position data from a feedback pot to calculate linearity of movement as part of a testing procedure. An image of the data is attached. I want to delete all data in the 'flat' part, in order to do a linear fit and R^2 of the sloped line.
This is made trickier by the fact that the number of samples, the start and end points, and slope of the line can all vary considerably. Therefore I need some way to find the 'knee' in the graph and remove all subsequent samples from the data.
The most obvious method I tried was to use a derivative to find the inflection point, but since I have so many data points, the dx is very small
(~0.05) when using the built-in labview derivatives. This means that I can't distinguish the inflection point from any other change in the values due to noise or change in velocity. I made my own derivative function, which was a newton quotient that looked at (xi+N)-(xi-N) instead of (xi+1) - (xi-1), but this still did not give good results. My next idea is to just look at the difference of every N points, and arbitrarily decide a threshold to indicate when it has levelled off. Any other ideas would be really helpful though.
Thanks,

Lets see if I can answer without having to write a book.
Fisrt I'd run the data through a zero-phase shift low pass filter. Then look at the 2nd derivative to find the knee. Using a zero-pahse shift fileter I was able to detect when a value was jumping up when it started to jump rather than after. THis thread may be interesting.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

I have a Windows 8.1 machine. I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation. Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read. The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it. How do I fix this problem?

There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either working with Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Open up the preferences for the application (Edit>Preferences), then go to the "General" category and modify the settings for "Scale for screen resolution". You will have to restart the application after you do that. Does that fix your problems?

Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page lines?

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

When I am on Firefox, my Netzero email page suddenly dropped to very small print. AOL OK. How do I increase size of the print so I can read the email?

I was using Firefox to read my Netzero email. The print suddenly dropped down to very small and I have difficulty reading the email. Netzero said to oper Mozilla Firefox, click "tools", click "options", and click "content" to change the font to a bigger size. But when I clicked the brown "Firefox" button on the Firefox page, I do not see the buttons Netzero told me to click. Can you tell me what they are referring to or just tell me how to increase the size of the font when I am reading email on Netzero. AOL email font size was not affected when I clicked AOL to read the email there.

How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent? I have it set at "13", but it is very, very small on my screen. I can't seem to change the appearance of the tool bar even when I try to "customize".

How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent? I have the font set at "13", but the appearance on my screen is very, very small. When I try to "customize the toolbar" to look like the tool bar above this message, I am unable to do so. Please advise. Thank you.

Thanks MartinR, yes the Toggle bars can be adjusted so that I can see all the tracks - just in the smallest setting - however this also creates a huge area of grey which serves no other purpose than to "use up screen space". If this is deliberate then there is nothing one can do - since presumably the additional profit made on screen sales is more important to Apple, than the combined annoyance to those working on a 13" laptop. Of course a 15" screen or even 17" screen may make this wastage less obvious. Please indicate that this is all incorrect and explain why it is important to have space waiting "for additional tracks", even if I have no intention of making additional tracks. If that is the answer then perhaps additional space to the left and right of the timeline would be useful in case I wish to make a 30 minute film, so that it could be placed there without having to drag anything. It may be that I am expecting software than can be tailor adjusted, each parameter to the desired level as in professional items and since this is a cheap consumer program it is not possible.
I bought Final Cut Pro for a lot of money (when it first appeared it was thousands and not just hundreds) but never used it since it was too complicated and tedious, but maybe there, this problem of screen wastage does not occurr, perhaps someone can advise! I could go back and reinstall it, but it was made for 10.2.8 and not 10.6.8 so it would not run on this macbook. I recently bought an old 15" TitaniumPowerbook (from 2005) and despite running at 1MHz the response time on it is "instantaneous" - amazing to not have the almost half second delay on many commands - graphics appear nearly immediately (just 5 milliseconds delay) and this makes working so much more enjoyable, not having the (350ms) stutter of 10.6.8 which we all get used to after our initial disappointment.
Thanks for your help!
