"best practice to maintain the SAP OM Org Structure"

Hi SAP Experts,
My client want to have an best practice or an safe process to update, better and maintain their existing SAP HCM Organizational Structure. In one way you can say that i am doing an process oriented job.
Our client system is not up-to-date due to the lack of user awareness and complete knowledge on the system. Due to this they are unsure on the accuracy of the reports that comes out of the system.
As a HCM functional consultant i can look from the technical perspective but not on this process oriented role. I need your guidance in this regard, please sugguest me how can i move ahead and make some really valuable recommendations ? I am confused on where to start and how to start. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Amar

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 practices of integration with SAP Netweaver

Hi All,
I'm totally new to SAP Netweaver but I have a task to integrate our system with SAP ECC (R/3). We are using SAP Netweaver 6.4. The goal of integration is to provide for user list of available modules (Sales and Distribution, Human Resource, Payroll, etc) and when user selected for example Payroll we need to display list of available BAPIs. In general weare able to create Enterprise Web Service for some BAPI and consume it. But the problem is that everytime when administrator changed BAPI process (for example added new field to Business Object) we need to regenerate wsdl and change our client application. Does Netweaver provide some Web Service which can retrieve list of applications, list of BAPI processes and can retrieve meta data of some BAPI? Something like Partner Web Service interface?
We are looking for best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver. We are trying to develop something like adapter which will be able to pull data into SAP ECC system is there any generic way to develop this adapter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yura.

Hi Yura !!
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. Using SAP Netweaver XI/PI, although it adds value to the webservice scenario exposing BAPI functionality, it also needs to maintain a refreshed version of the BAPI definition in its repository. Depeding the complexity of the change in the BAPI structure, maybe PI may allow you to continue working without changes.
Maybe a good practice is not to make too much changes to a production BAPI, instead make a review in development environment, and once it is stable, use it in production. Other good practice is to keep older versions of BAPIs and add the changed ones as new versions to have back-compatibility

Error while Connecting report Best Practices v1.31 with SAP

Hello experts,
I'm facing an issue while trying to connect some of my reports from Best Practices for BI with SAP.
It only happens when it's about info sets, the other ones that are with SAP tables go smoothly without a problem.
The most interesting is I have already one of the reports connected to SAP info sets.
I have already verified the document of steps of creation of additional database that comes with BP pack. They seem ok.
Here goes what Crystal Reports throws to me after changing the data source to SAP:
For report "GL Statement" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: /KYK/IS_FIGL_I3:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: It wasn't indicated any variant for exercise (something like this after translating) - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
For report "Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR and ZBPBI131_INFO_COAS; and also the Query CO_OM_OP_20_Q1:
- Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
- Database connector error: check class for selections raised errors - click ok then
- Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
Obs.: Those "Z" infosets are already created in SAP environment.
The one that works fine is one of the Purchasing Analysis reports:
- Purchasing Group Analysis -> InfoSet: /KYK/IS_MCE1
I'm kind of lost to solve this, because I'm not sure if it can be in the SAP JCO or some parameter that was done wrongly in SAP and I have already check possible solutions for both.
Thanks in advance,

I re-checked step 3.2.3 - Uploading Crystal User Roles (transaction PFCG) - of the manual where it talks about CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT and CRYSTAL_DESIGNER roles, I noticed in the Authorizations tab that the status was saying it hadn't been generated and I had a yellow sign, so then that was what I did (I generated) as it says in the manual.
Both statuses are now saying "Authorization profile is generated" and the sign is now green on the tab.
I had another issue in the User tab (it was yellow as Authorizations one before generating)....all I needed to do to change to green was comparing user (User Comparison button).
After all that, I tried once more to refresh the Crystal report and I still have the error messages being thrown.
There's one more issue in one of the tabs of PFCG transaction, it is on the Menu one where it is with a red sign, but there's nothing talking about it in the manual. I just have a folder called "Role menu" without anything in it.
Can it be the reason why I'm facing errors when connecting the report to SAP infoSets? (remember one of my reports which is connected to an infoSet works good)
Thanks in advance,

Best practices for making the end result web help printable

Hi all, using TCS3 Win 7 64 bit. All patched and up to date.
I was wondering what the best practices are for the following scenario:
I am authoring in Frame, link by reference into RH.
I use Frame to generate PDFs and RH to generate webhelp.
I have tons of conditional text which ultimately produce four separate versions of PDFs as well as online help - I handle these codes in FM and pull them into RH.
I use a css on all pages of my RH to make it 'look' right.
We now need to add the ability for end users to print the webhelp - outside of just CTRL+P because a)that cuts off the larger images and b)it doesn't show header, footer, logo, date, etc. (stuff that is in the master pages in FM).
My thought is doing the following:
Adding four sentences (one for each condition) in the FM book on the first page. Each one would be coded for audience A, B, C, or D (each of which require separate PDFs) as well as coded with ONLINE so that they don't show up in my printed PDFs that I generate out of Frame. Once the PDFs are generated, I would add a hyperlink in RH (manually) to each sentence and link the associated PDF (this seems to add the PDF file to the baggage files in RH). Then when I generate my RH webhelp, it would show the link, with the PDF, correctly based on the condition of the user looking at the help.
My questions are as follows:
1- This seems more complicated than it needs to be. Is it?
2- I would have to manually update every single hyperlink each time I update my FM book, because I am single sourcing out of Frame and I am unable (as far as I can tell) to link a PDF within the frame doc. I update the entire book (over 1500 pages) once every 6 weeks so while this wouldn't be a common occurrence it will happen regularly, and it would be manual (as far as I can tell)?
3- Eventually, I would have countless PDFs inside RH. I assume this will eventually impact performance. So this also doesn't seem ideal?
If anyone has thoughts/suggestions on a simpler way or better way to do this, I'd certainly appreciate it. I have watched the Adobe TV tutorial on adding a master page but that seems to remove the ability to use a css across all my topics and it also requires the manual addition of a manual hyperlink to the PDF file, so that is what I am proposing above, anyway (not sure the benefit, therefore).
Thanks in advance,
Adriana

Anything other than CTRL + P is going to create a lot of work so perhaps I can comment on what you see as drawbacks to that.
a)that cuts off the larger images and b)it doesn't show header, footer,
logo, date, etc. (stuff that is in the master pages in FM).
Larger images.
I simply make a point of keeping my image sizes down to a size that works. It's not a problem for me but that doesn't mean it will work for you. Here all I am doing is suggesting you review how big a problem that would be.
Master Page Details
I have to preface this with the statement that I don't work with FM. The details you refer to print when they are in RoboHelp master pages. Perhaps one of the FM users here can comment on how to get FM master pages to come through.

Best practice to integrate the external(ERP or Database etc) eCommerce data in to CQ

Hi Guys,
I am refering to GEOMetrixx-Outdoors project for building eCommerce fucntionality in our project.
Currently we are integrating with an ERP system to fetch the Product details.
Now I need to store all the Product data from ERP system in to our CRX under etc/commerce/products/<myproject> folder structure.
Do I need to create a csv file structure as explained in the geometrixx-outdoors project and place it exactly the way they have mentioned in the documentation? By doing this the csvimporter will import the data in to CRX and creates the Sling:folder and nt:unstructured nodes in to CRX?
Please guide me which is this best practice to integrate the external eCommerce data in to CQ system to build eCommerce projects?
Are there any other best practices ?
Your help in this regard is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Kresten,
Thanks for your reply.
I went through the eCommerce framework link which you sent.
Can you get me few of the steps to utilise eCommerce framework to pull all the product information in to our CRX repository and also how to synchronise between the ERP system and CRX data. Is that we have a scheduling mechanism to pull the data from our ERP system and synch it with CRX repository?
Thanks

Best practice on extending the SIEBEL data model

Can anyone point me to a reference document or provide from their experience a simple best practice on extending the SIEBEL data model for business unique data? Basically I am looking for some simple rules - based on either use case characteristics (need to sort and filter by, need to update frequently, ...) or data characteristics (transient, changes frequently, ...) to tell me if I should extend the tables, leverage the 'x' tables, or do something else.
Preferably they would be prescriptive and tell me the limits of the different options from a use perspective.
Thanks

Accepting the given that Siebel's vanilla data model will always work best, here are some things to keep in mind if you need to add something to meet a process that the business is unwilling to adapt:
1) Avoid re-using existing business component fields and table columns that you don't need for their original purpose. This is a dangerous practice that is likely to haunt you at upgrade time, or (worse yet) might be linked to some mysterious out-of-the-box automation that you don't know about because it is hidden in class-specific user properties.
2) Be aware that X tables add a join to your queries, so if you are mapping one business component field to ATTRIB_01 and adding it to your list applets, you are potentially putting an unnecessary load on your database. X tables are best used for fields that are going to be displayed in only one or two places, so the join would not normally be included in your queries.
3) Always use a prefix (usually X_ ) to denote extension columns when you do create them.
4) Don't forget to map EIM extensions to the extension columns you create. You do not want to have to go through a schema change and release cycle just because the business wants you to import some data to your extension column.
5) Consider whether you need a conversion to populate the new column in existing database records, especially if you are configuring a default value in your extension column.
6) During upgrades, take the time to re-evalute your need for the extension column, taking into account the inevitable enhancements to the vanilla data model. For example, you may find, as we did, that the new version of the S_ADDR_ORG table had an ADDR_LINE_3 column, and our X_ADDR_ADDR3 column was no longer necessary. (Of course, re-configuring all your business components to use the new vanilla column can also be quite an ordeal.)
Good luck!
Jim

What is the best practice for using the Calendar control with the Dispatcher?

It seems as if the Dispatcher is restricting access to the Query Builder (/bin/querybuilder.json) as a best practice regarding security. However, the Calendar relies on this endpoint to build the events for the calendar. On Author / Publish this works fine but once we place the Dispatcher in front, the Calendar no longer works. We've noticed the same behavior on the Geometrixx site.

Thanks in advance.

What's the best practice to manage the page file?

We have one Hyper-v Server running windows 2012 R2 with 128 GB RAM and 2 drives (C and D). It setup Automatically manage page file size for all drives. What's the best practice to manage the page file?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

For Hyper-V systems, my general recommendation is to set the page file to 1-4 GB. This allows for a mini-dump should something happen. 99.99% of the time, Microsoft will be able to figure out the cause of the problem from the mini-dump. It does not make
sense on a Hyper-V system to set aside enough space to capture all the memory on the system because only a very small portion of that memory is used by the parent partition. Most of the memory is under control of the individual VMs.
Yes, I had one of the Hyper-V product group tell me that I should let Windows manage it. A couple of times I saw space on my system disk disappear because the algorithm decided it wanted all the space for the page file. Made it so I couldn't
patch my systems. Went back in and set the page file to 1-4 GB and have not had any issues since.

I/O speed is a basic function of number of disk controllers available to read and write, physical speed of the disks, size of the I/O pipe(s) between SAN and server, and the size of the SAN cache, and so on.
Oracle recommends SAME - Stripe And Mirror Everything. This comes in RAID10 and RAID01 flavours. Ideally you want multiple fibre channels between the server and the SAN. Ideally you want these LUNs from the SAN to be seen as raw devices by the server and use these raw devices as ASM devices - running ASM as the volume manager. Etc.
Performance is not achieved by just partitioning. Or just a more memory. Or just a faster CPU. Performance planning and scalability encapsulates the complete system. All parts. Not just a single aspect like partitioning.
Especially not partitioning as an actual partition is simple a "logical reference" for a "piece" of the disk. I/O performance has very little do with how many pieces you split a a single disk into. That is the management part. It is far more important how you stripe and whether you use RAID5 instead of a RAID1 flavour, etc.
So I'm not sure why you are all uppercase about partitioning....

You can use any of the methods you have listed to create XML data. Oracle seeded code is using PLSQL to generate XML rather than reports since reports technology will not be used in the next version of Application (aka Fusion)

Best practices for using the knowledge directory

Anyone know when it is best to store docs in the Knowledge Directory versus Collab? They are both searchable, but I guess you can publish from the Publisher to the KD. Anyone have any best practices for using the KD or setting up taxonomies in the KD?

Hi Richard,
If you need to configure dynamic pricing that may vary by tenant and/or if you want to set up cost drivers that are service item attributes, you should configure Billing Tables in the Demand Management module in 10.0.
The cost detail functionality in 9.4 will likely be changed to merged with the new pricing feature in 10.0. The current plan is not to bring cost detail into the Service Catalog module.

Best practices for using the 'cost details' fields

Hi
Please could you advise us to the best practices for using the 'cost details' field within Pricing. Currently I cannot find the way to surface the individual Cost Details fields within the Next Generation UI, even with the tick box for 'display both cost and price' ticked. It seems that these get surfaced when the Next Generation UI is turned off, but cannot find them when it is turned on. We can see the 'Pricing Summary' field but this does not fulfill our needs, as some of our services have both recurring and one-off costs.
Attached are some screenshots to further explain the situation.
Many thanks,
Richard Thornton
