Best Practice for SAP PI installation to share Data Base server with other

Hi All,
We are going for PI three tire installation but now I need some best practice document for PI installation should share Data base with other Non-SAP Application or not. I never see SAP PI install on Data base server which has other Application sharing. I do not know what is best practice but I am sure sharing data base server with other non-sap application doesnu2019t look good means not clean architecture, so I need some SAP document for best practice to get it approve from management. If somebody has any document link please let me know.
With regards
Sunil

You should not mix different apps into one database.
If you have a standard database license provided by SAP, then this is not allowed. See these sap notes for details:
[581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=581312]
[105047 - Support for Oracle functions in the SAP environment|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=105047] -> number 23
23. External data in the SAP database
Must be covered by an acquired database license (Note 581312).
Permitted for administration tools and monitoring tools.
In addition, we do not recommend to use an SAP database with non-SAP software, since this constellation has considerable disadvantages

Best practice for updating a list that is data bound

Hi All,
I have a List component and the data is coming in from a bindable ArrayCollection. When I make changes to the data in the bindable ArrayCollection, the change is not being reflected in the list. I notice that if I resize the browser the component redraws I suppose and then the list updates. But how can I show the update when I change the data in the bindable ArrayCollection instantly?
Thanks,
Ryan

ok thanks for that, I have it sorted out now and found out where the problem was. I got a hint from your statement: "truly [Bindable]"..
Yes, the List is using a bindable ArrayCollection but I'm also using a custom item renderer and this item renderer takes the data and sets the label fields which are not binded. I didnt know that I had to carry the "binding" all the way through. I'm overriding the "set data" function and setting the label fields similar to: myLabel.text = _data.nameHere inside that function. That's where the problem was.
It works great now that I bind the data directly to the Label fields in my custom item renderer. I'm also using functions to parse certain pieces of data too. Is this taxing on the application? I notice that the List updates everytime I scroll, and resetting / calling all the functions in my Labels in the custom itemrender (for example: myDate.text = "{parseDate(_data.date)}")
Thanks!

Best Practices for SAP, connections to use without BW

Hello,
Could you help me to solve a problem with Best Practices 4.31?
SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 has 4 options :
u2022     SAP Infosets
u2022     SAP BW MDX Query
u2022     SAP BW Query
u2022     Table, cluster ou function
When I install SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 for serveur, I have one additional service in my CCM, BW Publisher 12. This service is from SAP BW.
From the article /people/glen.spalding/blog/2010/08/04/the-full-montypart-13bobj-integration-kit-sp3-install-configure and installation guide for IIntegration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 I've learned that I need SAP BW to use Infosets dans Crystal Reports.
Dans notre installation nous avons
u2022     SAP ERP système without BW,
u2022     BOBJ Server Setup,
u2022     BOBJ Edge Integration Kit for SAP XI 3.1 SP3 server
u2022     BOBJ Client Setup,
u2022     BOBJ Edge Integration Kit for SAP XI 3.1 SP3 client
u2022     Crystal Reports 2008
u2022     Xcelsius 2008
I've got Best Practices reports via « Table, cluster ou fonction » connection. There is no problem with this type of connection !
I suppose that « SAP Infosets », « SAP BW MDX Query » et « SAP BW Query » connections should be used with SAP BW.
Could you give me your opinion about this question?
Thanks beforehand,
Malika

Hi,
the InfoSets are a connection option for the classic InfoSets in an ERP system. Would suggest you take a look at the user guide for the SAP Integration Kit

Best practices for installing Win 10 under Hyper-V on Server 2012R2 host

Yeah, yeah, I know I could probably get my answers after spending 10 hours reading hundreds of isolated threads here. I've already put in about 2 hours, and I'm exhausted. Plus, this site does not have a very sophisticated search function.
I want to install Win10 as a VM on my Server 2012R2 machine. I am not currently hosting any other VMs, so my first decision was whether to try it using Hyper-V or VirtualBox. I started with VirtualBox, but I ran into two problems: networking
and video. Also, VirtualBox itself seems to have some issues with failing to install the extension pack. So now I think I'll give Hyper-V a shot.
I found some blog posts from last year providing guidance on setting up Hyper-V for Win10, but given the rate of change of this beta OS, I expect there are many new "features" that can be mitigated against by specific settings on the VM.
Some specific questions:
1. Generation 1 or Generation 2 in the Hyper-V setup? The blogs I've seen say to use Gen1, but provide no justification. Perhaps because they are using Win8 as the host? I am using 2012R2.
2. Does the Win10 ISO file need to be continually available to the VM, or is it only used in the initial installation?
3. How do I get the VM to access the GPU card, which has lots of memory, over the useless onboard video chip which only has 8MB and no 3D instruction set? This was a dealbreaker with VirtualBox.
4. I anticipate many issues with networking, but I'll start with this: I have dual onboard NICs going into a managed switch. Should I just give one physical NIC to the VM and let the host have the other? I think I'm going to have some issues
with DHCP IP address assignment, but we'll see. Any best practices here would be helpful.
Thanks.

>1.
I'd use Gen 1, that is a BIOS type boot, but that's just because I've had
less trouble than with Gen2 VM's.
>2.
Only during install, refresh, reset, or sfc.
>3.
No virtualization solution does it easily, but there is RemoteFX if you can
get a Windows 10 client to use it. I've never tried.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16652.remotefx-vgpu-setup-and-configuration-guide-for-windows-server-2012.aspx
>4.
That's what I would do (assigning one NIC to the VM, and one the host). If
both are receiving an IP address right now from DHCP, they will continue to
do so the new way unless you have a managed switch that would prevent more
IP addresses. It's hard to tell...

Best practice for moving from a G5 to a new Mac with SL

I am receiving my new iMac today (27") and am very excited
However I want to move over using the best practices to assure that I remain excited and not frustrated
My initial thoughts are to boot it up and doe the initial set up - to move my iPhoto library over and to use migration assistance to move the rest of my data files
Then to install all of the extra software that I can find the packages for from the original installation disks
And then finally to use migration assistant again to move over any software that I can not find original disks for (I've moved from Mac to Mac to Mac over and over and some of the software goes back to OS 9 (and won't run anymore I guess)
Is this a good way
OR
will I mess up doing it this way
OR
am I spending far too much time worrying about moving old problems over and would be better off to just turn MA loose and let it do its thing form the beginning?
BTW - mail crashes a lot on my existing system - pretty much everything else seems ok - except iPhoto is slow - hoping that the new Intel dual core will help that

Migration Assistant is not a general file moving tool. MA will migrate your Applications and Home folders transferring only your third-party applications. MA will transfer any application support folders required by your applications, your preferences, and network setup. You do not have a choice of what will be migrated other than the above. MA cannot determine whether anything transferred is compatible with Snow Leopard. I recommend you look at the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
Revised 1/6/2009
In general you are better off reinstalling any third-party software that is PPC-only. Otherwise update your software so it's compatible with Snow Leopard.
Do not transfer any OS 9 software because it's unsupported. You can transfer documents you want to keep.
Buy an external hard drive to use for backup.

Best way for Java/C++/C# to share data in a cache?

I have an order processing application which listens for Order objects to be inserted in a cache. If I want Java, C# and C++ apps to be able to submit orders to that cache, what's the best way to set up that Order object? Orders currently have many Enum member variables. What happens when a C# or C++ app needs to put an Order object in the cache? how would it set those java enums? Also, the java Enum classes have a lot of Java specific code in 'em for convenience. I imagine for cross platform simplicity it might have been best if the Order object were just an array of Strings or a Map of Strings to values but I have too much code depending on the Order object being how it is currently. Should I extract an Order Interface? What about the Enums? My java enums aren't simple {RED,GREEN,BLUE} type enums, they contain references to other Enums, etc. - see below...
A portion of my Order class looks like:

Hi Andrew
The only way to serialize object, so that they can be used by other languages than Java is to use the Portable Object Format.
The implementation of this requires you to implement the PortableObject interface in Java. PortableObject defines two methods
public void readExternal(PofReader reader);
public void writeExternal(PofWriter writer);
Also you need to add a POF config file that ties the type to a type id.
In C++ each type needs two template methods implemented to seralize and deserialize. But first it needs to register the data type with the same type id as for the Java type using the COH_REGISTER_MANAGED_CLASS macro.
Secondly analogs to Java implement the serializer stubs
template<> void serialize<Type>(PofWriter::Handle hOut, const Type& type);
template<> Type deserialize<Type>(PofReader::Handle hIn);
For C# your serializable types need to implement IPortableObject, with it's two methods:
void IPortableObject.ReadExternal(IPofReader reader);
void IPortableObject.WriteExternal(IPofWriter writer);
Similar to Java C# uses a POF configuration file, the same type id should bind to the corresponding C# type.
For more information see

What is "best practice" to set up and configure a Mac Mini server with dual 1 TB drives, using RAID 1?

I have been handed a new, out of the box, Mac Mini server. Has two 1 TB drives in it. Contractor suggested RAID 1 for the set up. I have done some research
and found out that in creating the software RAID, this takes away the recovery partition, so I have been reading up on how to create a recovery "disk" using a thumb drive. this part of the operation I am comfortable with, but there are other issues/concerns that I have.
Basically, what is the "best practice" to setup the Mini, configure the RAID and then start the server. I am assuming the steps would be something like this:
1) start up the Mini and run through the normal Maverick setup/config - keep it plain and vanilla
2) grab a copy of the Server app and store it offline in a safe place
3) perform the RAID configuration / reinstall of OS X Maverick using the recovery tools
4) copy down and start the server app
This might be considered a very simplified version of this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4886 - Mac mini server (Late 2012 and Mid 2011): How to install OS X Server on a software RAID volume), with the biggest difference being I grab a copy of the Server App off of the mini before I reinstall, since I did not purchase it from the App store, but rather it came with the mini.
Is there a best practice / how-to tutorial somewhere that I can follow/learn from? Am I on the right track or headed for a train wreck?
thanks in advance

I think this article will answer your question. Hope this helps: http://wisebyte.blogspot.com/2014/01/best-configuration-for-mac-mini-server.html

Hello Ramesh,
you should have a look at the SAP Instguide, and if it tells you to do as your colleagues say, open a ticket to SAP and ask, whether doing it the otherw ay could have spoiled your system. Anything but an official "yes, it's ok" won't help you.
For the other guys: have a loook at http://service.sap.com/instguides, there you can find all the guides you need.

Best Practice for Updating Administrative Installation Point for Reader 9.4.1 Security Update?

I deployed adobe reader 9.4 using an administrative installation point with group policy when it was released. This deployment included a transform file. It's now time to update reader with the 9.4.1 security msp.
My question is, can I simply patch the existing AIP in place with the 9.4.1 security update and redeploy it, or do I need to create a brand new AIP and GPO?
Any help in answering this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't update your AIP in place. I end up keeping multiple AIPs on hand. Each time a security update comes out I make a copy and apply the updates to that. One reason is this: when creating the AIPs, you need to apply the MSPs in the correct order; you cannot simply apply a new MSP to the previous AIP.
Adobe's support patch order is documented here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html.
That link covers Adode Acrobat and Reader, versions 7.x through 9.x. A quarterly update MSP can only be applied to the previous quarterly. Should Adobe Reader 9.4.2 come out tomorrow as a quarterly update, you will not be able to apply it to the 9.4.1 AIP; you must apply it to the previous quarterly AIP - 9.4.0. At a minimum I keep the previous 2 or 3 quarterly AIPs around, as well as the MSPs to update them. The only time I delete my old AIPs is when I am 1000% certain they are not longer needed.
Also, when Adobe's developers author the MSPs they don't include the correct metadata entries for in place upgrades of AIPs - any AIP based on the original 9.4.0 MSI will not in-place upgrade any installtion that is based on the 9.4.0 MSI and AIP - you must uninstall Adobe Reader, then re-install. This deficiency affects all versions of Adobe Reader 7.x through 9.x. Oddly, Adobe Acrobat AIPs will correctly in-place upgrade.
Ultimately, the in-place upgrade issue and the patch order requirements are why I say to make a copy, then update and deploy the copy.
As for creating the AIPs:
This is what my directory structure looks like for my Reader AIPs:
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.0
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.1
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.2
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.3
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.4
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.4.0
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.4.1
The 9.4.0 -> 9.4.1 MSP is F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp
When I created my 9.4.1 AIP, I entered these at a cmd.exe prompt - if you don't have robocopy on your machine you can get it from the Server 2003 Resouce Kit:
F:
cd \Applications\Adobe\Reader\
robocopy /s /e 9.4.0 9.4.1
cd 9.4.1
rename AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi AdbeRdr941_en_US.msi
msiexec /a AdbeRdr941_en_US.msi /update F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp /qb

Best Practice for SAP BW project implemetation/management

BACKGROUND: I have worked with Microsoft NAV ERP system, but in my new job I am working with SAP BW including BPS.
In Microsoft world we had a framework covering all aspects of a project form pre-sales, analyzis, design, implementation called Sure Step. (http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/support/implementation/success.aspx)
The framework consist of templates like risk register, business case, requierement collection, questionaries and check-lists. In addition to cover the whole project management part of a project (texts about what should bee done in diffrent phases).
I found a template searching for some BPS stuff http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=SAPBPScreate+questionaree&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDkQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdn.sap.com%2Firj%2Fscn%2Findex%3Frid%3D%2Flibrary%2Fuuid%2F90465610-181c-2a10-eba4-eb6d550682f5%26overridelayout%3Dtrue&ei=7EzfTof3DqiQ4gTc0_C9Bg&usg=AFQjCNFJTtkQ8d3c3ZA_NbW0Gpot_m0SwQ
QUESTION:
Does SAP have a similar project framework (for BW) with templates to use in different part of a project, like analysis, design and so on? Is it free for everybody to download and use?
