Begining with a virgin system.

Hi Experts,
I am really junior with BW. I have working in a project for two months filling infoObjects and infoCubes, creating precess chains and reporting. But i know nothing about modeling the initial infocubes and preparing the system from the begining.
Is there any guide step by step to configure a virgin system to start working? I'm working with SAP ECC 6.0.
I think the first i need is to create a Source system, but when I try to do this I get this error message:
No entry for BW_USER in table RSADMIN available
Message no. RSAR059
Diagnosis
Missing entry in table RSADMIN
System Response
Creation of source system was terminated.
Procedure
In Customizing, maintain the Proposal for Users in Source System
I have followed this procedure, and i put ALEREMOTE user there, but this does not work.
Can anyone please give me some tips or any guide? Or any solution to my error message?
Thank-you all!
Artur.

Hi
Create a Background user in ur system as BW_USER and maintain in
tcode RSA1-settings-global settings
that will have antry in RSADMINA table

Change Data Source not showing tables (in the taget drop down) that begin with "SYSTEM"

I am trying to change the data source to a database table that is named someschema.SYSTEM_XXX_XXX but none of my tables that are named SYSTEM_....... are in the combo box list of the taget tables (Change Data Source) dialog. I have tried this on several database with the same results. Are you filtering out tables that begin with system ?

Error when trying to create a new object that begins with Z

Hi forum,
When I try to create a new BW object that begins with Z (infofuente, infoarea, component application), I skip the following error.
Namespace''is not a valid namespace BI
Message no. R7017
Diagnosis
Namespace''must be entered in both the BI RSNSPACE table and the basic table TRSNSPACE or the view V_TRNSPACE. You also have to enter the relevant generation namespace '& V2' in TRNSPACE table. This value is taken from table RSNSPACE.
Both namespaces must be set to 'Changeable' - providing they are not empty.
Response System
You can not edit or create an object in this namespace.
Procedure
Use a different name.
Or contacct your system administrator. He / she can switch to the namespaces' Changeable 'using SE06 transaction, or - if they do not already exist - enter them in the table above named using sm30 transaction.
If the namespace '& V1' is empty, then the problem is with the generation namespace '/ BIC /'.
Procedure for System Administration
I've been following steps said to me, and yet I still persisted error. I am probably missing something ... that may be?
A greeting,

Hi,
Try to create the objects again and take the screenshot of SU53 when you get the error and see the authorization object for which you are getting the error here.
It is possible that you dont have development authorization.
Also the issue could be that the system is not configured to create the objects begining with Z.
Check this with basis as well.
Thanks

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come before

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come first after numbers and special characters, then letters H, K, M-N, P, W, B-D and so on. I click on the column header again and it reverses the sort, but still messed up. This convoluted sort appears in all views. All the letters are grouped together, so all the "a"s, "e"s, etc are being sorted by some algorithm, but it's not alphabetical. I noticed it after installation of Snow Leopard, but it could have been that way before. I did a wipe and load and just imported user settings from Time Machine afterwards. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Usually, it is (1) a preference file located here
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/
In this case, the problem is not just Finder if it also happens in Mail. Unfortunately, there are a lot of preference files.
Or it is (2) a background process that runs when you log in to your account. If it is something that starts automatically, it may be one of your Login Items. You can look at System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. That list shows processes that run when you log in to that account. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for anything there that might, for whatever reason, change the alphabetical sort order.
Make sure English is selected as language in System Preferences +Language & Text+ pane. It seem improbable that it would not be, but I just noticed there is a setting at the bottom of that pane that says +Order of sorted lists+. Does that have something other than English ?

What is a file that begins with ._ ?

A client just sent me some files that begin with ._ in the extension.
(Client claimed they are vector files for a video project)
I tried to download and Mac told me they are system files and will be hidden.
sure enough they didn't show up my desktop. I download again adding a " to the front of the extension. I got the file on my desktop- but it would not open.
I trashed it.
I then did a spotlight system search for the ._ files I think I download and I got no result.
I'm now worried.
Are these ._ somewhere on my system?
Can they do harm to the system?

In Unix the initial period in a filename causes the file to become invisible. Spotlight's default configuration will not locate invisible files. If the files are downloaded to your Downloads folder or to your Desktop then you can make them visible in a number of different ways.
1. Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
2. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter the following commands pressing RETURN after each. I will assume for the purpose of illustration that you have downloaded the files to your Desktop.
cd /Users/yourusername/Desktop
mv ._filename.ext filename.ext
This will rename each file to the same filename but without the initial "._". Repeat the "mv" command for each file substituting the actual filename.ext for the "filename.ext" in the command line. If you have downloaded the files to a different location, then substitute the full path to that location in the "cd" command line.
3. Download a utility such as Batch Rename'Em from CNet Downloads or MacUpdate and use it to mass rename the files by removing the initial "._".
4. Have your client rename the files before sending them to you by explaining that they are invisible on the Mac with the initial period in the filename.
5. Configure Spotlight to search in system folders and to display invisible files in search results.
6. Download Easy Find - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate - and use it instead of Spotlight.

When using a chart in Pages, the first zero is deleted in any number beginning with a zero

When using a chart in Pages, the first zero is deleted in any number beginning with a zero (for example, 055). How do I stop this?

The leading zero in the value 55 is unnecessary, so Numbers eliminates it for cells formatted as Number or Automatic. A cell formatted as Text prior to making the entry will take whatever you type into it and keep it as entered. A cell formatted as Numeral System will display as many places as you tell it to, and will add zeros as necessary without your even having to type them in.

I need help with my operating system

Okay, little bit of background:
I bought the iMac second hand from a family friend who we no longer have contact with, the operating system etc was already installed.
The disk drive on the mac is broke (I dont have the disks anyway, so it would be no use)
I never purchased the operating system, like I said, it was pre-loaded.
A few programmes weren't running correctly and the computer was just generally running slowly, so I decided to just restore the system as there was no important data on it and it would run faster in the end, and I figured the programmes would run properly again once restored.
Anyway, I unknowingly deleted the operating system in the process of the restore (I thought it would only delete personal data like it does on my windows PC)
I have no restore disk (a broken disk drive anyway), my apple ID was not used to buy the operating system, so therefore it cant be used to restore the operating system, I also never backed up the harddrive externally so it cant be reinstalled from that.
My problem: I have no operating system and no way of recovering it. I read about Mavericks and because its free, I decided to try and download it, but with no operating system, the mac can only run 'Safari' and wont save things I try to download to the harddrive (it just says theres no space and the download doesnt happen). I also tried to access the App Store from Safari to try to download OS X lion on my apple ID, but once again, when using Safari on a mac without an operating system, it is very restrictive and I cant access the download page.
I have no idea what to do and live miles away from the nearest apple store.
Thanks in advance for any help provided by anyone.
Jordan.
Additional information:
Its a 2007 iMac which was running OS X Lion 10.7.4 (I think, it was definitely Lion though).
Serial No. is W8*******X85

Ah. Well, then you have an itty-bitty problem. You need to backup your files to start with. You will need your retail Snow Leopard installer DVD which your friend should have provided to you. If he did not then ask him to bring it to you. It belongs to you along with the original distribution discs that came with computer when it was new.
Do the following once you have the Snow Leopard DVD:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
 1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
 with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
 After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
 a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
 2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
 button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
 After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
 size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
 partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
 and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
 (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
 3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
 with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
 4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
 Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
 username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
 Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
 install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
 Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Upgrading to Lion
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
 Lion System Requirements
 1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
 or Xeon processor
 2. 2GB of memory
 3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
 4. 7GB of available space
 5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
After you sign into your App Store account with your Apple ID click on the Redeem option under Quick Links to download your copy of Lion.
As an aside to this: All actual 2007 iMacs are able to run Mavericks. So rather than buying Lion you may prefer to upgrade to Mavericks which is Free.

Help! I renamed an existing file in Reader (Mobile) to begin with "." and it disappeared. Unable to search for it. How can I recover it? [iOS]

I was attempting to organize my files in Reader (on iPad) and I tried renaming an existing file to begin with "." in an attempt to put it at the top of my list, so that I could easily find it. It completely diappeared and if I search for it, it doesn't appear. Help!!!

Hi,
A file or folder name starting with '.' ("dot" or "period") is considered hidden on most operating systems. By naming a file starting with '.', you accidentally hid the file and made it inaccessible to all iOS apps.
I'd highly recommend using '_' ("underscore") in the future.
We have already made the change to the new Acrobat DC for iOS app (version 15.0.x) so that it disallows the rename operation with '.' as the first character. (I assume that you are using Adobe Reader for iOS on iOS 7 or older iOS version.)
To recover your hidden file, you need to use a Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer, install a File Manager app (e.g. iExplorer free demo version, iFunBox), connect your iPad, browse the file system on your iPad, and rename the file back to something else (so that it becomes "visible" again).
The exact steps vary depending on the File Manager app you choose. You may be able to find How-To videos on the software manufacturer's web site or YouTube.
Don't worry. Your hidden file is not permanently lost. You just need to recover it. Good luck!

Renamed file beginning with dot (.)

Hello,
I created and accidentaly renamed a file "htaccess.txt" to ".htaccess".
I learned that files beginning with . are reserved for the system are thus not visible on the desktop… the file dissapeared
How can I do to view it ? I just want to rename or delete it.
Regards,
Nicolas

And just to add, you do have to be in the current directory that the hidden file is in to use those commands (Well not really, you can use an absolute path beginning from the root of the drive, but too prone to nasty mistakes.
Say the file is is your user folder in Documents.
When you first go into the shell, You will already be placed in YOUR users directory.
so if you do this command (Print working directory)
pwd
you will be returned with
/Users/username (Username is a placeholder for your users SHORTNAME)
So then you would just use the CD (Change directory) command
cd Documents
and if you do a pwd again you will get
/Users/username/Documents

Firefox prompted me to download an incompatible update that its website claims is compatible with my operating system (Mac OS 10.4.11). Why prompt an incompatible download AND claim it is compatible?

I have an iMac and use OS 10.4.11 & Firefox 3.6.19. Firefox prompted me to download an update (to 7.0.1). I looked up the system requirements on your website, and it stated the update is compatible with OS 10.4.11. But after I downloaded and installed the update, it failed to work on grounds of incompatibility. Hence 2 questions: (1) Why did Firefox prompt me to download an incompatible update? (2) Why did your website claim the update is compatible with my operating system when it is not?

Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.

error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am

I have a mac os 10.4.11 and the new version of firefox (4) which is 'not compatable with my operating system' what can I do? I have tried to redownload firefox 3 to no avail.

I was running firefox 3. ? with little difficulty. the new 4.0 upgrade came out and I hit the button to update only to find that I was unable to use it. I had to search my archives, to find firefox 2 which allowed me to find a browser that I could use: Opera. It works well but I can't use netflix watch instantly etc... HOw can this be remedied.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
