Basic System Admin Requirements

Apologies all, I'm pretty new to OS X and MAC generally but I'm wondering if there are any basic system administration tasks that your average user should be doing to maintain optimum performance and reliability of the system.
I recall many years ago as a SVR 3.2 admin that file system maintenance, performance tuning, user admin etc. were staple parts of the job however I haven't done this in a long time and am looking for basic pointers to what you need to do to maintain OS X.
Thanks in advance.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - not universal binary.)
6. LaCie SilverKeeper (Freeware - not universal binary)
7. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

Issue while uploading the PAR file thru system admin- AdministrationConsole

Hi All,
I have downloaded the PAR file "com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailednavigationtree.par.bak" from system admin->support->Portal Runtime ->browse deployment->Web-Inf->deployment->PCD.
after downloaded to the desktop for manual change in one of the JSP file rather than importing into NWDS. I have removed the bak from the file and added the .Zip to the file and i extracted the file.
here inside i got the three folders i.e WEB-INF,PORTAL-INF and file_list. now i went to jsp file called "LightDetailedNavigationTree.JSP" , changed one small property value in the code from false to true. after that i again zip the folders strcuture make the file name as original in the form of .PAR file. now i am trying to upload it in the portal thru system admin->portal runtime->administration console, but i am getting the deployment error as mentioned in the below.
even though with error, the wrong version of the par file with extension .err was saved in the PCD folder strcture, and original file also still exists. now i wanted to remove the wrong version of the file from PCD, what is the procedure to delete the wrong version, here in administration console i found one button clean , but i could not able to locate the wrong file version , only original right version showing up in the clean dropdown??
Can u tell me what is the procedure to edit the PAR file manually after downloaded to the desktop, rather than going edit thru NWDS??
if we need to upload the PAR file after changes, do we need to delete the original PAR file before we upload the new version of the same PAR or it will be automatically overwrite the original file with the same name??
Still i am getting confusion, please let me know how to edit the PAR file manally and how to upload the PAR file with out any isse while uploading it in the portal thru system admin->administration console??
Any pointers in this regard would be the great help to me??

Attribute for user contains errors. Inform system admin

Hello,
We've got an issue with shopping carts created by a user that was deleted from system. When trying to see in Monitoring Shopping Carts header or item details of a given sc. A web error occurs:
The URL http://srp.srm.gruposalinas.com.mx:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/bbpsc11/! was not called due to an error.
Note
The following error text was processed in the system SRP : Attribute for user contains errors. Inform system admin.
The error occurred on the application server srm-pro_SRP_00 and in the work process 2 .
The termination type was: TH_RES_FREE
The ABAP call stack was:
Form: OUTPUT_EXPRESS_MESSAGES of program SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS
Form: EXTERNAL_SCREEN_DETERMINE of program SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS
Module: EXTERNAL_SCREEN_DETERMINE of program SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS
We've cheked SAP NOTE 312058-BBPPU99: Error: Attribute for ... is missing. Inform ...
But it seems that none of the information applies to us, since this issue is only present for Shopping carts that were created by this deleted user.
So we tried to re-assing one of this sc, chaning PARTNER_NO,ADDR_NR
ADDR NP data in table CRMD_PARTNER according to a new given user, but it didn't work. So we need to know how to re-assing this sc or perhaps how to find what specific attribute is missing.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ? This is an SRM error message.
The manager role should be enough to change user attribute. The transaction is BBPATTRMAINT. Employee role should have BBPUM02 or BBPAT05 to change their own attribute.
Please check whether the User ID you are using to Log into BBP_PD (and seems to be assigned in the org structure also)is consistent and has no errors in tcode USERS_GEN. You should check the user, it's not set up properly in USERS_GEN Transaction, Else repair the user.
To maintain the user attributes you must have the Administrator role.. Your user should have role SAP_BBP-STAL_ADMINISTRATOR and be integrated in the org structure. your user must be integrated in SRM organizational structure. To see which attributes are missing, you can click on the user in PPOMA_BBP to see details, and go to last tab "Check". This will list all required attributes depending on used scenarios (so you may not require all of them). You can also use transaction BBP_ATTR_CHECK to check user's attributes for a particular scenario.
Please go through the following links as well ->
bbp_mon_sc attributes

Clear cache via a EBS System Admin page.

It has been years since my first OAF page is developed.
I recall that there is a way to clear the cache via a EBS System Admin screen so the FK modificaiton reflects the change right away. but I just couldn't find it anywhere now.
If you know the way to find that screen, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!.

Do we have to have system admin role for pdk???!!!

Hi ,
Pdk Is meant for Java developers.and we have a requirement where developers will not be given system admin role, but just java developer role, that comes with PDK(to deploy, download, par applications)
i was going through the weblog
and in that it is mentioned ·
"To ensure that you have the correct permissions to run all the applications in the business package, you must be assigned to the following portal roles:
Role ID     Description
pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role     Super Administration
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/administrator/super_admin/com.sap.portal.super_admin_role     Super Administration "
if the pdk has to have system admin role, then there is no meaning that it comes with java developer role .
can anyone tell me if i understood it a wrong way .
please help
Thanks,
Lakshmi.

Hi Lakshmi,
The Java developer role only comes with Component manager and Component Inspector and some plugins for IDE.
To work just with PDK a Java Developer role is fine, but once the PAR is deployed, a developer has to login and create the iview from that par.For this he needs a Content Admin Role.
I have gone through the link mentioned by you and it says u need to have superadmin role,every user,conent admin role for all the iviews to work correctly which is true this way.
If your iview is talking to the backend system u need access to the backend and to create a System object u need a System Admin role.
So, along with the Java developer role, a developer has to have ContentAdmin and SystemAdmin roles.
Hope this helps.

Error while reading the PO in the Backend system. Inform system admin

Hi All,
We are having a peculiar issue of 'Error while reading the PO in the Backend system. Inform system admin'.
The P.O is in ordered status in SRM but the same is not getting transferred to backend ECC system.
No error messages or logs in RZ20, SLG1 any where.
All programmes like BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP are running fine.
Tried pushing the P.Os manually using function module (BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC_V2) to backend ECC.
It was working fine till a week ago and suddenly this problem is coming.
We had implemented few OSS notes suggested by SAP for the issue of 'shopping carts appearing in sourcing cockpit even after P.O creation' in both development and test system.
Now this issue is coming up in test system where as development system is working fine.
Please let us know where to look and how to resolve this issue.
A quick response would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Teja

I am facing the same issue with one PO in the Production system.
SRM 5.0 , R/3 4.6C Extended classic scenario.
I checked the status of other PO's created today. I see them in R/3. There is one PO which was created a week back which shows up as "ordered" in SRM but the PO is missing in R/3. When clicked on the details on the web, system throws the error
Error while reading the PO in the Backend system. Inform system admin.
Message no. BBP_CF010
I checked RZ20, SLG1 no errors were found. I checked RFC connection, it was working fine too.
I tried pushing the PO using the FM BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC, it did not solve the problem.
In SRM WEBGUI Process PO - Item data -->follow on documents --> PO status is shown as Archived.
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Please throw some light on this issue.

I get a message popup saying unable to update because I do not have system permissions required when trying to go to 3.6.13 on my IMac,but I am the system administrator.

I tried updating from 3.6.12 to 3.6.13 on my IMac and get a pop up window that says Unable to update because I do not have system permissions required to update. If I download the latest version and try to replace the existing version it says "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." I called Apple and made sure I was the system administrator and I am. I made sure that the two other users did not have FireFox open and it still fails the same way.
Note: This problem resolved itself for some reason but I still want to thank everyone for their suggestions.

WebDynpro for Abap Test failed (System Admin/Support/WD)

Hello,
I'm using EP 7.0 and I'm trying to test travel&expenses (Ehp3) WD for Abap from System Admin/Support Desk: Integration of SAP Applications/WebDynpro and we get the following error: Exception in SAP Application Integrator occured: Unable to parse template...the problem occured at position 275. Cannot process expression <IView.PCDUnit.ShortID> because Unable to get PCD Unit com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.WebDynpro.
System contector test is ok. Please, could you help me?
Thank you

Hello Michael,
Ok, I forget system connector and support tests. Web AS parameter are supposed to be ok:
Web AS Host Name: host.domain:port (from smicm tx)
Web AS Host Name: /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/
Web AS Protocol: http
but the SAP Web AS Connection test fails. When trying to execute the iView it works. Does it mean that is it correct? Why WAS connection test fails?
In the other hand, when iView is displayed, it asks for user and password because the R/3 user is locked. Why R/3 user is locking everytime?
Thank you&Regards

IView and system admin objects appear changed or not registered when transported

Hi,
Recently we moved a few objects - iViews, pages and roles as epa and system admin objects as config archive and imported them manually to Test system. But when checked in the next landscape, the iView properties appear different. Eg. In Development system, the iView was unchecked for visibility option i.e. iView should not be visible. But when transported to test system, the property was checked and gave error. On reimporting, the same thing happened and we had to manually correct the property. This is not an expected behaviour and manual changes are not to happen after development changes.
Similarly, though config archive import showed the 2 new system objects in the respective location of Test system, the expected functionality was not working. I checked this by deleting one of them and manually creating the same entry and it worked fine. So I also had to delete the 2nd one and create a manual entry. The system admin objects we used pertained to System Configuration --> Content Mgmt--> Form Based Publishing --> Forms Availablity --> Folder Settings
We also moved kmcs and they are reflecting properly with correct folder permissions.
We don't understand why this is so occurring (iView and system admin entry appearing different or not getting registered )and never experienced such a case in previous projects. We don't want to face the issue going forward when transporting changes to staging and Prod systems.
Please assist as to what went wrong or any probable cause and solution for same.
Thanks,
Janani

System Admin and Admin Problem...

Can any one tells me the different between system admin and admin?
It seems like system admin is messing up my file permissions, and it seems like system admin has more control than the admin (me)...
I had this experience today: everytime when I create a folder, the permission's gone under "system", I was not able to have any folder action nor create a new folder under it.
I search the forum with solutions and I think I've fixed it and it works fine now, but the permission is still not under my account name; it goes under "root" (system Admin).
Any one has a solution for this?
And how can I delete the system admin account?
Thanks,
Arnold

I input dscacheutil -q user in terminal, and I got this:
Would it help to solve my problem? :P I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem too?

Acct assignment cat. of item not in user data; Inform system admin

Hi all,
We are on a SRM EBP 5.0 project and we are getting the following error when we try to create a purchase order from the purchasers login.
"Acct assignment cat. of item not in user data; Inform system admin"
The complete details of the screen shot are as follows:
The following error text was processed in the system DS1 : Acct assignment cat. of item not in user data; Inform system admin.
The error occurred on the application server lndnysap1_DS1_01 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: TH_RES_FREE
The ABAP call stack was:
Form: ABORT_PO of program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS
Form: ADD_TO_MSG_LOG of program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS
Form: ADD_TO_MSG_LOG_MULTI of program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS
Form: SET_PRICING of program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS
Form: DETERMINE_EXTERNAL_SCREEN of program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS
Module: DETERMINE_EXTERNAL_SCREEN of program SAPLBBP_PO_UI_ITS
We did the following steps :
Created shopping cart- employer and WF triggered apprd. by manager.
Purchaser did "Carry Out Sourcing ", and if we say "Create Purchase Order", the PO gets created with a information message that "Incomplete purchase order 11/1 is created "
When we go to "Process Purchase Order" for the completion of the same. If we see Follow-on documents "Purchase Order Held" occurs.
In the tab Item Data details Pricing tab we get this error.
Do any of the SRM gurus can suggest us what to do?
In our admin logon it shows
"Server for pricing is not running. Start Server" occurs after every run of this process purchase order from the purchasers login, though our IPC is working fine.
Will be of great help if somebody replies soon.
Sincerely,
Sridhar.

Hi,
IPC has to be configured.

All Transactions Report to Non-System Admin

Is it possible to broadcast a report of all transactions to a non-system admin?
Background: Project Manager who is not a System/Travel admin, would like monthly reports of all expense reports and expenses from system. Since reporting is based on role assignment is this possible? I have tried using Broadcast but user still only sees data for his direct reports. thnka you in advance for your help!

Hi Juan,
this should be handled very careful as you can get in trouble if you expose data to people that are not authorized to see it. So think twice before you do that.
what is that project manager supposed to see? If he's allowed to see any detail, you might create a role that has no access restrictions. In this case, the report will show all expense reports. This way there is clear transparency in the system about authorizations
Broadcasting works as well. In broadcasting you should deselect the "user specific" flag. In this case, the report runs with the authorizations of the broadcast creator (the system admin). It is probably useful to create a specific report for that and assign it to a work center view the system admin has assigned. However this way the system admin provides information to people that are not authorized by their role. So their needs to be another agreement in the organization to be on the safe side.
Regards,
Steffen
