Best recommended process with sandbox- and (3 environments)

Can someone please recommend the process of 3 tier landscape (dev, qa, prod) with the sandbox and what the best practice should be based on your environment/ or experience to manage or control Backups and Disaster Recovery?
-- That's is basically a 4 tier with a sandbox server, where all the patches etc can be tested without breaking the bank or existing test/qa/prod systems.
I am trying to figure out, when and how we should take backups of each environments (how often), and what would be our disaster recovery approach based on this model.
Thanks.

Hi,
this is the same like you entry here:

Inbound process with WM and HU

Hi Friends ,
I am exploring different possibility Standard SAP supports for goods receipt process through Inbound deliveries.TO make things simple right now I am only finding possibilities for EXTERNAL Material receipt only.
The steps I know invloved in Inbound delivery process are (with WM and HU)
1) PR - Source assignment - PO - Release PO
2) Advance shipment notification (ASN)
3) Inbound delivery creation
4) Packing of material on Goods receipt
5.1) Put-away - Automatic TR creation
5.2 ) Put-away - Automatic TO creation
5.2 ) Put-away material - TO Confirmation
6) PGR
Now I am looking for different configurations by which can automate processes mentioned above from point 2 to 6.Like
2 and 3 ) ASN / Inbound delivery : I know that ASN can be received from vendor (in the form of idoc) and can create Inbound delivery automatically.But what if Vendor doesn't provide ASN message , how can we create deliveries for expected material ? Do we need to use VL06I ??
4) Once the Inbound delivery is created , I know we can automate packing process ... not sure about the configuration.I only know that this invloved condition technique where we create Conditions / schema / condition records ... BUT where do we assign that SCHEMA ( like pricing schema is attached to PORG group / Vendor grp )
5.1 ) Do we always need to have a TR to get TO created against Goods receipt OR can we can ask system to create TO directly without any TR ?
5.2 ) TO Creation - Automatic TO creation as soon as the packing is completed.
Where is this setting ? I understand there are two process 1) real time TO creation 2) Background TO Creation. For immediate TO creation I can see a configuration in IM-WM movement type assignment configuration , is that all ??
5.3 ) TO Confirmation -.Like TO Creation , do SAP also provide functionality to CONFIRM TO immediately or through Background Jobs ?? What are the required settings ?
6) How can we automate the PGR process ?
Sorry for this long query , but I hope there are many other friends who are interested in knowing all such possibilities.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

2 and 3 ) ASN / Inbound delivery : I know that ASN can be received from vendor (in the form of idoc) and can create Inbound delivery automatically.But what if Vendor doesn't provide ASN message , how can we create deliveries for expected material ? Do we need to use VL06I ??
    Option 1: You can use transaction VL34 to create inbound deliveries by PO, Plant and the delivery date.
    Option 2: You can use transaction VL31N and click the Purchase Orders to create inbound deliveries.
4) Once the Inbound delivery is created , I know we can automate packing process ... not sure about the configuration.I only know that this invloved condition technique where we create Conditions / schema / condition records ... BUT where do we assign that SCHEMA ( like pricing schema is attached to PORG group / Vendor grp )
    First we have to create the packing instruction in POP1.
--> Give a packing instruction name.
--> Then in the line 1 - Enter P and the packaging material
--> Then in the line 2 - Enter M and enter the material to pack and give the quantity to pack in the packaging material. Eg: In each pallet how much quantity to be packed.
Second go to the transaction POF1.
--> Enter RCPT and based on the combination Material/Plant/Vendor, select it and enter the Material and the Packaging Instruction you created before.
--> Then you can do the autopack in VL32N.
5.1 ) Do we always need to have a TR to get TO created against Goods receipt OR can we can ask system to create TO directly without any TR ?
--> We can create the TO directly from the VL32N.
*5.2 ) TO Creation - Automatic TO creation as soon as the packing is completed.
Where is this setting ? I understand there are two process 1) real time TO creation 2) Background TO Creation. For immediate TO creation I can see a configuration in IM-WM movement type assignment configuration , is that all ??*
   SPRO - Logistics Execution - Warehouse Management - Activities - Transfers - Set Up Autom. TO Creation for TRs / Posting Change Notices
5.3 ) TO Confirmation -.Like TO Creation , do SAP also provide functionality to CONFIRM TO immediately or through Background Jobs ?? What are the required settings ?
   SPRO - Logistics Execution - Warehouse Management - Activities - Transfers - Define Movement Types
   Then select the Warehouse and the movement type 101 and select the option "TO item can be confirmed immediately"
   This will confirm the TO as and when the TO is created.

How to send the idoc to 12 status, without processing with RSEOUT00 and RBD

Hi All,
How can I change the status of IDoc to 12 without processing with the programs RSEOUT00 and RBDMOIND programs, only with using the partner profiles. Help needed ASAP.
Thanks,
sreenivas.

Then you need to use fm
call function 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE'
    exporting
      master_idoc_control            = wa_edidc
    tables
      communication_idoc_control     = i_edidc

Controlling a chemical process with LabVIEW and the SC 2075 board

Hi,
I am a degree student and one of my projects is to control a chemical process using LabVIEW and the SC2075 board. The process variables i must control are temperature, pH and also several motor. Is this viable using the SC 2075 board and if so does anyone know where i can attain information on using the board. Also if anyone has suitable sample vi's that may be of use to me it would be very much appreciated. My email is [email protected]
Kind Regards,
Derek

Hi Derek,
Bellow is a link the the user guide for the 2075.
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371217a.pdf
You should be able to aquire data from you sensors but you might need some signal conditioning depening on the voltage levels they return.
For sample vi's try going to Help>>Find Examples... within LabVIEW or goto the following link to search our developer exachange.

Intracompany sales/stock transfer management processes with WBS and New G/L

Hi all,
we have a scenario in which we need to transfer project stock between two projects. Both belong to the same Company Code. The transfer must be conduct as if it was a sale.
Basically the scenario is the following:
1) Material A is in stock of Plant P1 under Project WBS1 (linked to Functional Area FA1).
2) Plant 2 needs to "purchase" that stock and put it under WBS2 (linked to Functional Area FA2).
We have new G/L with the Functional Area set as a balancing dimension so any transfer between the two Plants should generate a billing document to balance the two Functional Areas. The stock should be moved between the two Plants/Projects.
How would you manage this scenario in SAP?
I've read all the documentation related to Intercompany Business Processes in SD Billing and everything related to Transfer Prices with New GL however I've found no information on this particular scenario.
In particular, the STO cannot be used since it allows only to move the stock between two Plants without having the WBS dimension on the receiving plant (i.e. I can move stock from Plant P1/WBS1 to Plant P2/WBS1 - which is not what I need since I need it on WBS2). Besides, but I'm not sure, the automated billing seems to be possible only in case the transfer is between Plants belonging to different company codes (I still need a FI document for balancing the Functional Areas).
The transfer price scenario, which is the one recommended by SAP for Intracompany sales, is not applicable as well since we don't have Profit Centers and, as far as I've understood, it doesn't seem to allow stock transfer between different WBS as well.
The only scenario I thought so far is to use a Purchase Order/Sales Order scenario:
The PO would allow WBS2 to receive in Plant P2/WBS2 the stock purchased against internal vendor Plant P1.
The SO would allow WBS1 to sell the stock (i.e. issue it from Plant P1/WBS1 to internal customer Plant P2).
The billing would be done against the SO and the incoming invoice would be posted against the PO (hence recognizing internal revenues and internal expenses).
This process, however, requires a lot of reconciliation activities and is error prone as there is no cross-check between SO and PO data.
Do you have any hints or suggestions to manage this differently?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Ciao!
Max

Hi seesen_rs,
thank you for your answer.
We also thought of that but the issue is that the 301Q moves stock immediately while we need to monitor the order and the shipment of the material (the 301Q is posted when the goods arrive at P2/WBS2). Besides, we also need to consume budget upon order so the PO/STO would help us for the first part of the process (i.e. when the goods are requested from P2/WBS2), then we should do the 301Q and then the billing. In order to keep the whole document chain linked we should also make us of custom fields. An alternative would be to use direct Goods Issue and Goods Receipt however they would have no references for budget and material requirement tracking purposes, hence not very helpful.
Also SAP said there is no easy way for managing this
Ciao!

Word processing with superscripts and subscripts.

Is there a word processing app for the iPad yet which does superscripts and subscipts?
(Discussions on this subject were posted on this website about a year ago, has the no superscipt button and no subscript button problem been fixed yet?)

I've found a possible solution to insert equations and formulas without Latex or copy/paste images, only with Pages for iPad and without internet, using Pages tools. So, I have some examples of Pages documents. If you want to take a look them, give me your email and I'll send you an example.

Consignment Fill up Process(with Bebit and credit entries)

Hi all,
I want to do following entries in consignmen Fillup process.
1)consignmen Fillup:-
Goods on sale consignee Cr.
Consignment Agent Dr.
since proforma invoice is gets created in Fill up process, shall i configure cmercial invoice instead of Proforma?
Reg,
amol

shall i configure cmercial invoice instead of Proforma?
Before answering this question, I would like you to answer to the following
a) What do you mean by consignment fill-up
b) Under what circumstances, you can raise a commercial invoice
If you know answer to the above questions, posting this thread would not have arised.
Anyway, my explanation goes here
Consignment fill up is nothing but you move your own stock from one place to another place. Once you moved the stock, that stock will be earmarked for the end customer and it cannot be diverted to another customer. Now tell me, for moving the stock from one place to another, will you generate commercial invoice ??
You can very well put these questions with your client so that you will find a solution.

What's the best set up with AppleTV and Mac Mini with 2TB external HD?

Hi
I have an Apple TV and 2TB external HD connected to my Mac Mini.
I want to stream through my Mac Mini and I want all my media stored in my external HD.
What's the best setting so that I sync only one way to my external HD the contents of my Apple TV? I don't want anything except unwatched media on my Apple TV.
I'm fairly new to Mac world and Apple TV, as far as I read iTunes and Apple TV sync both ways,how do I achieve a one way sync to my Mac Mini with external HD?
Many thanks

Ok that makes it clear, sorry I used wrong terminology,it should have been transfer rather than sync.
You don't want to stop transfers of purchased content. See This User Tip
While on the subject a friend of mine told me that the streaming videos doesn't work well,it kinda freezes and stops but the music stream is fine. Is that true or his set up is wrong?
It's not necessarily his configuration set up that's wrong, it's probably that he has a poor network by virtue of too great a distance or interference from other networks or other household equipment.

Queuing queries - best possible way with Pros and cons

Hi,
I have multiple queries on Queues.
Please provide valuable answers and receive good rewards:
1. is it possible to seclude specific one group of business messages (x customer) to seperate queues? this is to ensure that our messages are secluded from other group of business messages(other y customer) and minimize the impact from each other. the existing setup is 10 queues for EOIO (each once in order) and 10 queues for EO (each once), 5 apart for inbound and 5 for outbound.
2. what's the impact to hardware requirement if we're to configure more/seperate queues for one customer - e.g memory consumption and higher CPU ussage (the understanding is that with more queues we should be able to handle more message processing pararrelly at the same time, and on top of that prevent queues clogging up due to system error exception).
3. can we configure the message to be dropped/skipped on error instead of just hanging on the queues which stops other messages from going through?
Thanks for your precious time.

Multiple (200 +) processes with Jrun And Linux

Hello,
We have a server in our enviroment running the following:
2.4.9-e.27smp linux kernel
mysqld Ver 4.0.15-standard for pc-linux on i686
java version "1.4.1_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.4.1_05-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_05-b01, mixed mode)
47205 Oct 3 2003 jrun 4.0 updater 1a
Starting the site with this command:
su -c 'cd /usr/local/jrun/logs/df_nohup; nohup
/usr/local/jrun/bin/jrun -config /usr/local/jrun/bin/df_jvm.config
-start sitename &' userid
We have 4 sites running on the machine each with the same
command with the site names changed etc.
Basicly when we start the sites each one generates 70+
process each, usually when the server first comes up there will be
240 + jrun process on it.
We have a very similar configuration on our dev server, and
it only starts 4 processes?
Any ideas why this production server is generating so many
processees?

Thanks a lot for taking your precious time to review my code, Bogdan.
I run an attempt using the additional flags you were suggesting but they didn't improve results.
Your pointers to the DB Reference and C API sound a little bit like RTFM. In fact, I didn't read all the stuff there but a good portion of it before I was asking for help ;-) The FAQ entry I mentioned leads exactly to the "Architecting Transactional Data Store" topic.
The code was modeled after the "The third way to architect Transactional Data Store applications is as a group of unrelated processes" using the DB_REGISTER flag.
It seems to take a senior expert to get my simple requirement done :-(
All I know now is I'm not alone:

Force Background processing with SUBMIT and keeping results in memory

Hi Everyone
I have a very tricky issue that i need some help with.
I have a developed an RFC that allows a NON-SAP front-end to execute reports in the SAP backend the result of the report is saved in memory and formatted to XML and passed to the front-end where the report is displayed.
Therefore for this to work i have added the following code
g_guid = cl_salv_export_db_storage=>create_guid( ).
" Set ALV memory parameters
export l_mode = 'M' to memory id 'ALV_EXTRACT_MODE'.
export l_guid = g_guid to memory id 'ALV_EXTRACT_GUID'.
"Execute the selected report
SUBMIT (wlv_report_name)
                     USING SELECTION-SET wlv_variant_name
                     WITH PNPTIMED EQ ' '
                     WITH PNPBEGDA EQ im_begda
                     WITH PNPENDDA EQ im_endda
                     WITH PNPPERNR IN wlr_employee
                     AND RETURN.
data: l_xstring type xstring.
            l_xstring = cl_salv_export_db_storage=>import_xmlstring(
                guid = g_guid ).
This allows me to get the report results to be passed to the front-end.
This works quite good for most reports but in some cases the reports has a popup message. In this case the execution fails as the report is not executed as a background job (if the report is executed in the background then the popups are ignored).
The issue is that the reports cannot be executed in the background as the memory will then not contain the report results and secondly the client does not want to use the spool for the report results at all. The second constraint is that the client does not want to alter the reports in any form to remove the popups due to the large volumes of reports.
What i have noted is that if the report is executed and i set the SY-BATCH parameter to "X" then it works perfectly (via the debugger). I can change the SY-BATCH value in my code but obviously once the SUBMIT is executed the SY parameters are reset.
My question is: Is there a way to force the SY parameter values when i perform a SUBMIT? Or is there any other possible solution to this issue?

If you want to go with the option of spool, then you can use the following addition
SUBMIT <reportname> to SAP-SPOOL
SPOOL PARAMETERS <print_parameters>
WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO and RETURN.
and then read the spool,
if you want to go with the option of a background job, then you can use the following addition
SUBMIT <reportname> VIA JOB <name> NUMBER <num> AND RETURN.
<name> and <num> are generated using FM JOB_OPEN, and then you have to close it using JOB_CLOSE.
Thanks.

Best file manager with SMB and streaming support? Time Capsule access?

Constantly having to jump through hoops it seems, because of no file manager in iOS. Another simple scenario: have 2 disks connected to my Apple Time Capsule. Can accesss them with Android phones, always in trouble finding a good app on iPhone. Any tips? Wish I could also stream my home videos, etc from these disks. Documents 5 (Readdle) can access them via SMB, but not stream, which is nasty for large videos.
Thank you,
Roman

I was experiencing the same problem when I upgraded to a Time Capsule. To fix the problem remove all personal file sharing port mapping settings. Then make sure that the enable file share, and enable over WAN is on and checked for the TC, then update the TC. While that's updating go into the server app and remove any old file sharing protocols from the TC on the server app. Next add a new custom protocol by hitting the + name it file share and set the port to 140. hit the update button and wait for it to finish. Once that's finish go back to the airport utility and find the newly made file share protocol by selecting it under port mapping for the TC. If you don't have the newly made one in there make a new one your self. Name it the same as you did in the server app and set the public TCP ports to 140 and the private TCP ports to 548, make sure the private IP address is set to the same as your server in the reserve. Update the time capsule and you should be able to access both by putting in the appropriate afp://www.yourserver.com:140 for the server and afp://www.yourserver.com:548 for the TC. Have fun, lion server can be a little fussy!

Hi Waman,
Question about this - How do I get the results analysis to post COPA? I have created a cost element for the results ananlysis posting (which is not recommended by SAP). Then I set OKB9 to COPA, but it is posting COPA with blank segment (only compnay code!). I can see the sales order & sales order item # in the FI line item. But this info is not sent to COPA!
Thanks,
Jean
