Best practice for deletion of SAP standard configuration

Does anyone have any documentation related to deletion of standard SAP configuration? My client is requesting deletion of all the standard delivered company codes and I believe it is best practice to never delete them. I am looking for supporting documentation that supports this.

Rhonda,
I have never seen a system where the standard delivered company codes did not exist, so I can't say what the implications of deletion are. I suppose it is possible to do....
For documentation, I guess you could search through service.sap.com/support.
I would think you would respond to the request as follows:
Tell the client it will be extra work to delete the items. Which will translate into additional billable fees.
Tell the client (in writing) that you cannot predict what all possible outcomes will be, but that you are willing to work with him to fix anything that gets broken in the process. For additional billable fees.
In the end, the client is paying for your advice and your services. In the end, he owns the license and the system upon which it is running. He can have anything he wants, there is no other 'right' or 'wrong'.
I suggest you don't delete anything in client 000. Most companies keep this as a reference. If the client later decides to reconstruct, this would be a nice source of info.
Since company codes greatly affect FI/CO, you might want to post the question in one of those forums.
Best Regards,

Is there a best practice for deleting a published report from C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\FileStore on Crystal Reports Server or can I just delete the subfolders? Does it reference them elsewhere? I have a load of old reports I need to shed, but can't see how to do it.

Best Practice for enhancing the SAP delivered standard WD ABAP application

Hi,
I am new to WebDypro ABAP.
To enhance the SAP delivered Standard WebDynpro Component (complex component with Business objects & powl).
Kindly let me know the best practice for enhancing the Standard WD ABAP from the below 1 or 2.
1) To copy & create a "Z" of the component & make changes in that (or)
2) to enhance directly on the same standard component without making "Z".
Regards,
NS

Hi NS,
If it is a standard component its better we go for enhancing the component rather than copying it into Z component.
If there is any issue with in the standard component , SAP supports it through notes and OSS messages. If it is a Z component, SAP doesn't support it.
If there is any up gradation of business packages, changes will be done to standard , but not the Z components, wherein we could miss it.
Further, since it is a standard component it might have been used at many places, changes that has to done to reflect all changes might be difficult in this case if it is a z component.

Best Practice for Deleted AD Users

In our environment, we are not using AD groups. Users are being added individually. We are running User Profile Service but I am aware that when a user is deleted in AD, they stay in the content database in the UserInfo table so that some metadata can be
retained (created by/modified by/etc).
What are best practices for whether or not to get rid of them from the content database(s)?
What do some of you consultants/admins out there do about this? It was brought up as a concern to me that they are still being seen in some list permissions/people picker, etc.
Thank you!

Personally I would keep them to maintain metadata consistency (Created By etc as you say). I've not had it raised as a concern anywhere I've worked.
However, there are heaps of resources online to delete such users (even in bulk via Powershell). As such, I am unaware of cases of deleting them causing major problems.

Bad bind variable & best practice for delete

I am working with three tables and very new to SQL. I need to create a procedure that will accept an ID and go through two sub tables and delete child records. Item is the main table. I am passing in the ID into the procedure and I want to use it as below. I keep getting a bad bind variable error message. I have verified that the table is setup as a number and my procedure accepts a number. I also want someone to review this from best practice as I am new to procedures.
PROCEDURE DeleteItem (p_ItemID IN NUMBER, p_RowsAffected OUT number)
IS
p_RowsAffected NUMBER;
-- select the itemdetail for the analysis
CURSOR c_itemdetail
IS
SELECT
itemdetailid
FROM itemDETAIL
WHERE itemid = :p_ItemID;
BEGIN
-- loop through each itemdetail and delete the itemdetailoutlay
FOR r_itemdetail IN c_itemdetail
LOOP
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAILOUTLAY
WHERE itemdetailid = r_itemdetail.itemdetailid;
COMMIT;
END;
END LOOP;
-- delete the itemdetail
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAIL
WHERE itemid = :p_ItemID;
COMMIT;
END;
-- delete the main item
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEM
WHERE itemdid = :p_ItemID;
COMMIT;
p_RowsAffected := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
END;
END DeleteItem;

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
As you may notice, this site normally compresses white-space. Whenever you post code, or any formatted text, on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
I don't think you mean to use bind variables anywhere, so don't use colons before any variable names. You were doing this correctly with p_RowsAffected; do the same thing with p_ItemID.
Try this:PROCEDURE DeleteItem (p_ItemID IN NUMBER, p_RowsAffected OUT number)
IS
-- p_RowsAffected NUMBER;     -- Don't name local variables the same as arguments
-- select the itemdetail for the analysis
CURSOR c_itemdetail
IS
SELECT
itemdetailid
FROM itemDETAIL
WHERE itemid = p_ItemID;     -- No : before p_ItemID
BEGIN
-- loop through each itemdetail and delete the itemdetailoutlay
FOR r_itemdetail IN c_itemdetail
LOOP
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAILOUTLAY
WHERE itemdetailid = r_itemdetail.itemdetailid;
COMMIT;
END;
END LOOP;
-- delete the itemdetail
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAIL
WHERE itemid = p_ItemID;     -- No : before p_ItemID
COMMIT;
END;
-- delete the main item
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEM
WHERE itemdid = p_ItemID;     -- No : before p_ItemID
COMMIT;
p_RowsAffected := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
END;
END DeleteItem;
The most important "best practice" with PL/SQL is to avoid doing it whenever possible.
If SQL offers a way o do the same thing, it's usally best not to code anything in PL/SQL.
Have you considered foreign key constraints, with "ON DELETE CASCADE"? That way, you could simply "DELETE FROM item", and all the dependent rows in the other tables would automatically be deleted.   You wouldn't need to remember to call a procedure like this; in fact, you would have no need for a procedure like this.
Given that you do have such a procedure:
You're doing row-by-row processing, which some mad wags like to call "slow-by-slow" processing.
For example, iYou're xplicitly finding each ItemDetailID separately, and deleting each one separately, like this:... CURSOR c_itemdetail
IS
SELECT
itemdetailid
FROM itemDETAIL
WHERE itemid = p_ItemID;
-- loop through each itemdetail and delete the itemdetailoutlay
FOR r_itemdetail IN c_itemdetail
LOOP
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ITEMDETAILOUTLAY
WHERE itemdetailid = r_itemdetail.itemdetailid;
COMMIT;
END;
END LOOP;
It's more efficient for the system (and less coding for you) if you let SQL handle as much as possible, so do this instead...     DELETE FROM ItemDetailOutlay
     WHERE ItemDetailID IN
          ( SELECT itemdetailid
          FROM     itemDETAIL
          WHERE     itemid     = p_ItemID
Do you really want to COMMIT 3 times? 0 or 1 times might be better.
What happens if there is some kind of error, say, after you've delete rows form ItemDetailOutlay and ItemDetail, but before you've delete from Item? Wouldn't you want the entire transaction to fail, and leave all three tables in a consistent state? If so, either have the calling procedure COMMIT, or have a single COMMIT at the end of DelteItem.

Question: Best practices for dealing with multiple AM configurations

Hello all,
I have a project using ADF Business Components and ADF Faces. I would like to set up multiple configurations for the Application Modules to support the following scenarios:
1). Local testing and debugging - using a connection defined in JDeveloper and AM Pooling turned off.
2). Testing and debugging on an application server - using a JDBC Data Source and AM Pooling turned off
3). Production deployment - using a JDBC Data Source and AM Pooling turned on.
It is no problem to create multiple AM configurations to reflect this scenario. In order for the web part of the application to use the correct configurations, the DataBindings.cpx file must specify the correct ones. I was thinking to have 3 different DataBindings.cpx files and to change the CpxFileName context-param in the web.xml file as needed.
My questions:
1). Does this make sense as an approach? It should be better than having to change a single AM configuration every time I deploy or test. Is there any easy way to keep multiple DataBIndings.cpx files in synch, given that we may add new pages from time-to-time? Alternatively, can we do some type of "include" processing to include just the dataControlUsages section into a common DataBindings.cpx file?
2). How would you manage the build-and-deploy process? For the most part, in JDev we would be using configuration #1. The only time to switch to configuration #2 or #3 would be to build an EAR file for deployment. Is this something that it would make sense to accomplish with ANT? I'm not an ANT expert at all. The ANT script would have "build-test-ear" and "build-prod_ear" targets which would swap in a correct web.xml file, recompile everything, build the EAR, then put the development web.xml file back. I'm relatively sure this is possible... comments?
3). Is there some other recommended approach?
I appreciate any insights from experience, or even just ideas or thoughts that I can test out.
Best regards,
John

Hi K,
Sorry for the long long delay in responding I've been traveling - and thanks for the e-mail tickler too...
To answer your question in short, I do think that ANT is the right way to go; there is an extra ANT task called XMLTask that I was able to download and play with, and it seems it would make this manipulation of the cpx file (or the xcfg file, for that matter) pretty straightforward. I don't have any code to post; it's just in the conceptual stage for me right now. I didn't see anything magical in JDev 11 TP3 that solved this problem for me either.
Having said all of that, it's more complicated than it might appear. In addition to the DataBindings.cpx file (stores, among other things, which AM configuration to use for each data control), it's certainly possible to programmatically access an AM (specifying the configuration either directly in the code or via a properties file/etc). I'm not sure what the most common use case for AM configurations is, but in my case, I have a Test configuration and a Prod configuration. The Test config, among other things, disables AM pooling. When I am developing/testing, I always use the Test config; in Production, I always use the Prod config. Perhaps the best way for me to do this would be to have an "Active" config and use ANT tasks to copy either Test or Prod to "Active." However, our Subversion repository is going to have a few complaints about this.

Best practices / preferred usage of SAP standard (delivered) roles

Dear Experts,
When going about designing roles for a new system, what is the preferred usage on SAP standard/delivered roles? I was thinking of using them as a "base", then tweaking auth objects here and there to make the roles work but the more I work with them, I find it may be better to create roles entirely from scratch. A lot of the time, I find a lot of inactivated auth objects or objects that seem to not really be needed when looking at the t-codes offered in the menu (S_TCODE).
In that case, I figured it might be cleaner if I started creating roles and adding t-codes via the Menu and maintaining only the auth objects that are proposed in PFCG (and adding a few if necessary).
Do people typically build their roles around these the standard SAP role set or is it preferred to create your own and only use the SAP standard roles as reference (i.e. the t-codes offered in the menu, etc.)?
Thanks for any insights!

> When going about designing roles for a new system, what is the preferred usage on SAP standard/delivered roles?
Those are provided by SAP as a reference so that you can consult with the Authorization Structure of a Standard Position / Task for which you are going to create your own role. For e.g. what are the TCodes, values of Objects should be given to users for their tasks.
I was thinking of using them as a "base", then tweaking auth objects here and there to make the roles work but the more I work with them, I find it may be better to create roles entirely from scratch.
Absolutely! Please do not use SAP delivered roles for you use and also don't try to alter any values.
A lot of the time, I find a lot of inactivated auth objects or objects that seem to not really be needed when looking at the t-codes offered in the menu (S_TCODE).

Best practice for connecting to SAP backend from JSPDynPage

Hi,
Can anyone help clear up some confusion I have over connecting to SAP from Java?
We have a number of JSPDynPage portal applications on EP7 Ehp1 that connect to SAP ECC6.
We currently use 2 methods to call remote functions on the ECC system.
1) Enterprise connector and JCo Client Service
This method has the advantage of automatically generated proxy classes and typed access to function module parameters. It is also more closely aligned to Web Dynpro from a design time point of view
However it also has a number of disadvantages in that it does not support table APPEND structures and requires regeneration for every change to the ABAP structures involved even if the field that has changed is not being referred to. In addition the use of the JCo client service means that the connection pooling must be handled ourselves explicitly
2) Connector Framework - SAP System Connector
This method has the advantage that connection management is handled by the framework. It also has the advantage that fields are referred to by name so if an ABAP structure changes then the remote call will not fall over as long as the named fields are still available.
However this method is more cumbersome because no proxy classes are generated and function module parameters are referred to generically so errors are not picked up by the complier.
Given the limitations of the above 2 methods, what is the recommended approach?
In the book u2018Inside Web Dynpro for Javau2019 Chris Whealy says the following about the Adaptive RFC Layer:
u2018Any Java program running in the AS Java u2013 not just Web Dynpro u2013 can make use of the Adaptive RFC layeru2019
Has anyone been able to use the Adaptive RFC layer from a NON-WebDynpro java application?
Any thoughts on the above would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Denis.

Hello,
The recommended way is with JCA Connector.
Adaptive RFC is included from NW7.1,
See "Creating an Adaptive RFC2 Sample Application without using Web Dynpro"
in the SAP HELP of NWCE7.1 or NWCE7.2.
Seems to be based in JCo 3.0 and Java5 so it will not work in NW70.
For older Versions like EP 5 there is also a JCo ClientService available.

Johannes

Best practice for deleting data based on mismatch

I have two tables which share the same key columns (one is an extension table of the other, basically)
INVPARTINSTOCK_C is current data
INVPARTINSTOCK_D is a date extension table
I want to remove all data in D which is not in C
I can gather a list of mismatched data by using:
select
d.Contract,
d.Part_No,
d.Location_No,
d.Lot_Batch_No,
d.Serial_No,
d.Eng_Chg_Level
from invpartinstock_d d
MINUS
select
c.Contract,
c.Part_No,
c.Location_No,
c.Lot_Batch_No,
c.Serial_No,
c.Eng_Chg_Level
from invpartinstock_c c but how do I apply that to a DELETE FROM INVPARTINSTOCK_D WHERE... ?
Thanks

1) It depends on, at least, the data volumes we're talking about, but
DELETE FROM dtable
WHERE (column_list) IN (your_minus_query)should be functionally correct. Probably more efficient would be
DELETE FROM invpartinstock_d d
WHERE NOT EXISTS(
    SELECT 1
      FROM invpartinstock_c c
     WHERE c.contract = d.contract
    )2) Why isn't there a foreign key relationship that prevents this sort of mismatch in the first place?

Best practice for deleting data

I need to clear several years' worth of data from our environment. In addition, we have a number of categories that need to be cleared as well. Is there any need to actually clear the data prior to making making the dimension changes? Or is it enough to simply remove the time periods and categories in question and process those dimensions?

Hi Pablo,
If your requirement is clearing only transactional data you can clear via clear data manager package and if you want delete master data of time and category, first you need to clear all the trasactional data of that member and then delete master data. You can not delete directly master data without deleting trasactional data, if there is data associated to that member system will not allow to delete member.

What are the best practices for backing up SAP B1?

Right now, we are using a nightly tape back up. Is this sufficient? Or are there other, better options?
Thank you!
John Sefton

It is sufficient,as you would have default SBO-Backup utility
whcih can be automatted.
In addition, you can even take a manual backup from the back end.
