BI Landscape issue

Hi all,
I have to make a BI demo to convince my collegues to migrate from Business object to BI. At the moment i can't ask someone to install me a dedicated BI server so i'm working on my developpement ECC6 server. This ECC6 install was a standard one, without BI content add on. I've installed the 7.1 sapgui with BI add on for business explorer on my workstation. RSA1 modelling works fine : i've been able to design and load an infocube. I can also create queries. The principal problem i have is that the Bex analyser doesn't work : Excel is launched with a BI button bar but nothing append when i click on "open query" or on "open a connection" buttons. The way i launch it has no effect (RRMX, menu).
The problem is not due to security level on Excel because i put in on the lower level without success.
I'm not sure JAVA usage type is installed on the server. Could it be the explanation ? How can i see on the serveur if a JAVA usage type is running ? Is it possible to use the web analyser without JAVA and PORTAL usage type ?
Does someone know how to help me ?
Thank 's a lot for your help.
Jean

BI Java is required to used the web analyzer. BEx (Excel) does not.
BEx does have an installation check tool in it, perhaps something is not installed on your PC that is needed.

BrowseForImage() Portrait Landscape issues

Building with Air2.6
Using Adobe's example
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/CameraRoll. html
I have a landscape app and when I call browseForImage() the image browser always comes up in portrait mode.
        <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
        <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
        <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
After selecting an image everything is still in landscape mode. Is the cameraRoll browsing view supposed to be landscape if the app is in landscape? I've tried setting autoOrients to true. No change.
When loading in an image from camera roll, Portrait images always come in sideways. This does not seem to matter if the aspectRatio is set to landscape or portrait.
Is there some programatic way to know if an image is portrait or not? Looking at loader.content.width & height is out because the bitmap data is apparently always wider than it is tall.
Any one else having these issues?

Screenshots load just fine. They are portrait but they don't come in sideways. It appears to only happen to photos I take with the phone. You are correct that iOS seems to know weather or not an image is portrait or not.
If this is just the way things are, I have no problem making a rotation feature, but I have no programatic way to know if an image is supposed to be portrait or not except by having a user looking at it. It seems kinda lame to require the user to rotate the image after I load it in when iOS seems to already know how it should be oriented. I mean it shows up oriented correctly in the CameraRoll view. I just don't know why I'm not getting in the loader the same way.

HCM BI Landscape Issue

Hi,
We are implementing R3 HCM and BI HCM in parallel.
HCM and BI are in the same box for sandbox, dev, qa and prod as well.
Any inputs on such a landscape, interms of performance, administration issues etc ?
Have you faced any issues when R3 and BI co-exist in the same box ?
Expert advice needed pls.
Thanks.

Hi Vaishali,
I had the same experience but not in Production. Definitely u can expect some performance problems becoz No. of R/3 users will be much more than BW users who always work on the system. For this type of systems its better to run BI jobs in the background and non-working hours of R/3 users.

Landscape issues in iphone6 plus

when I am watching an youtube video in my iphone 6 plus Landscape mode, if I get any banner notification of a whatsapp mesage, it sets the video to pause and rotate it back to portrait for no reason and when the notifications goes off the video flickers again from landscape to portait, very anoying and a serious bug which has to be fixed.. Is someone experiencing the same issue??

There still appear to be issues with keyboard and extensions. I suspect this may be related, but cannot confirm.

IOS4 on 3GS Landscape Issues

Updated to iOS4 on launch date and since then my 3GS will not go into landscape mode. I was wondering if this is turned off in the settings because I can't find it or if anyone else was having the same issues? Can anyone give me a hand or a heads up as to either turn the setting back on or if anyone else has the problem how to fix it!! This would make me very
Thank You Kindly

OK, I just upgraded and I too have this issue, but orientation lock is not on! YouTube goes into landscape automatically, but when in Safari, I cannot get to landscape no matter how hard I try -- tilt, rattle, or shake.
Nice to have audio playing in the background, but I'd like to surf in landscape while doing it.
Any ideas? -- If not can I downgrade back to 3.1.3 -- I'd rather have landscape view than other limited feature set.

2 landscape issues: applicationFrame/UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight

Hi,
I am having two problems related to landscape mode behavior under iPhone OS 2.1:
1) Calling [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] from viewWillAppear returns the following values (x, y, width, height):
In portrait mode 0.000000 20.000000 320.000000 460.000000
In landscape mode 0.000000 0.000000 300.000000 480.000000
The landscape mode values do not appear to be correct yet the view inside the window has the following frame which is correct: 0.000000 0.000000 480.000000 268.000000
What am I missing here? How can this be corrected?
2) Calling setAnimationTransition with UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight in landscape mode makes the view flip top to bottom which is not the expected behavior either (I assume that this is related to the first issue.)
Have anyone else experienced this? Any workaround?
Thanks.

Re no. 1, the docs make the point that the app frame and key window frame don't rotate. So I think the numbers you observed are correct, and the difference between portrait and landscape just reflects the repositioning of the status bar.
To verify this, put the following in a test bed (e.g. use the Xcode View-Based Application template; you'll need to get a pointer to the key window another way if you measure a view that isn't the root):
- (void) logFrame {
UIWindow *window = (UIWindow*)[self.view superview];
NSLog(@" window=%@", window);
NSLog(@" view=%@", self.view);
CGRect wFrame = window.frame;
CGRect wBounds = window.bounds;
CGRect vFrame = self.view.frame;
CGRect vBounds = self.view.bounds;
NSLog(@" window.frame=(%2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f)",
wFrame.origin.x, wFrame.origin.y, wFrame.size.width, wFrame.size.height);
NSLog(@" window.bounds=(%2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f)",
wBounds.origin.x, wBounds.origin.y, wBounds.size.width, wBounds.size.height);
NSLog(@" window.transform is identity: %d",
CGAffineTransformIsIdentity(window.transform));
NSLog(@" view.frame=(%2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f)",
vFrame.origin.x, vFrame.origin.y, vFrame.size.width, vFrame.size.height);
NSLog(@" view.bounds=(%2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f, %2.1f)",
vBounds.origin.x, vBounds.origin.y, vBounds.size.width, vBounds.size.height);
NSLog(@" view.transform is identity: %d",
CGAffineTransformIsIdentity(self.view.transform));

Note the warning in the doc: The frame of a view is meaningless when its transform isn't the identity.
Re no. 2, I think I've gotten that to work at one point, but will need to reconstruct a test bed to verify this. However I can tell you for sure that I've never been able to get curl up or down working correctly for portrait upside-down orientation.
So at this point I can only answer part of your question: No. 1 doesn't need to be corrected and isn't related to no. 2. Hope that helps.

N+1 landscape issue

Hi,
Please find below the facts:
1) Existing ECC 6.0 Dev system copied to new system. we have clients - 000, 100,150
2) Upgrded to EHP4 and applied IS-Utilities Add on
Now, after the EHP4 upgrade, If i goto SPRO, I see the new customizing data or entries related to configure the system only in client 000. NOT in 100 and 150. Is it normal??? If it is, there should be some way to move the entries from one client to other, right? There may be several people who had worked on an N+1 landscape. Can someone tell me how to get these customizing or data entries to client 100 - which is our development client?
1) Can I do a client copy without overwriting the existing customizing in client 100? Can the client copy append to the existing customizing?
2) Any other ways to do it?

Hi,
use copy client (SCCL) with profile SAP_CUST with source client = 000 and target = 100
your question :
1. append ? i think it is not possible.
2. i have no idea other than SCCL, and it will overwrite your current customizing on target.
hope it help you.

Landscape Issue AccAD 2.2 (Federated Portals)

Hello,
I have a performance issue, I have CE 7.2 and EP 7.0. Both are integrated as a Federated Portal. The CE 7.2 is the producer and EP 7.0 is the consumer or front end to our employees.
We have remote locations with low bandwiths so we implemented AccAD 2.2 with the EP and the performance impoved a lot, ...the EP, but all the cache management is done to the EP objects, all the CE objects (javascripts, themes) are making the portal performance very low. The start page could take more than 240 seconds to display (because is showing some federated web dynpros iviews).
After analizing, I see that one of the files that takes long is the sapurmapi_ie6.js that is loaded from the CE.
How can I make the AccAD platform to work with the CE? What's your recommendation? How can I solve this issue?
I think that if I make an upgrade to NW 7.3 I could avoid the federated portal and work with only one server (CE and EP are together), however right now is not my reality? Please can you give me an advice?
Best Regards

Hi Zeev,
I tried to change again and hit "Apply". it finally went back.
I did it last weekend, since it is production.
Thank you very much.
There are a few things I consider as problem.
1. Secondary SFE: They still do not communicate each other
2. Database error: on Repository, Audit and Traffic history tabs show "Could not connect to the database"
--->by the way, my test systems have no problems.
3. On my SAP system, AL08, connections from CFEs displayed with the CFEs virtual IPs instead of SFEs.
---> as I experienced from 2.1, this is not right. they have to be appeared with the SFEs virtual IP.
version 2.1: Enduser -> CFE -> SFE -> SAP
version 2.2: Enduser -> CFE -
> SAP ???
And, there are a lot of these messages in /var/log/messages

Sap landscape issue

hi all,
         just went thru the rules and regulation posted by juan...nice..
my query
          1)in sap landscape what is the number of clients we should be having in DEV QAS and PRD system.
                          a)as i am able to understand if we have DEV server installed we will automatically acessing 000,001,066
                          b)if we have QAS server installed we will automatically acessing 000,001,066
                          c)if we have PRD server installed we will automatically acessing 000,001,066
                                   Then why do we say that we should have only one client in PRD server.
                                                                                or we can say excluding 000,001,066 only one
please clear my confusion on this..
regards
keith

hi keith,
            first you need to understand the SAP landscape clearly , If you are having DEVELOPMENT ,QUALITY and PRODUCTION system i.e three system landscape, all three will have 000,001,066 client in that. now it depends how your system goes about , being DEVELOPMENT system you must have one test client, one copy of master client(000) assume 111 where all your development work will undergo.
          same is the case with your QUALITY server also.
but when it comes to PRODUCTION you should have only one client(as shyam also mentioned) where production activites should take place.

Smartforms duplex (landscape) issue

Hi All,
I've develop new smartforms for goods receipt .
PAGES         PRINT CONTROL            NEXT PAGE
PAGE1                 -- D                             PAGE2
PAGE2               -
                          PAGE1
And for PAGE1 capacity only 10 item lines , and in every GR we found more than 10 item lines.
So my scenario like that i ve to print PAGE1 with 10 lines and back-back PAGE2 then next 10 lines again and back to back PAGE2. But because of PAGE2 next page PAGE1 after all completion it give one more page with headings only (blank page).
So assist me how to sort out this DUPLEX issue.
-Navin

Dear Madhuri,
Try this out,
1. set the CONTRACT_OFFER next page attribute to CONTRACT_OFFER itself.So evenif the contract_offer main window goes beyond the first page, the same page type will be triggered.
2. Now at the point where your contract_offer related information ends in th main window and before the checklist related information starts, use a command node to dynamically set the next page attribute to CHECK_LIST. So at this point the CHECK_LIST page will be triggered and the CONTRACT data since it is over will not be displayed.
3. If check_list information also spans multiple pages then set the next page attribute for check_list page to check_list itself.

MSA landscape issue

Hi all,
In our MSA landscape, we have one Development Workstation. I am told that this is a one-tier architecture and the workstation is common to Development, Acceptance and Production servers of the CRM . But using the MSA installed in the workstation I am able to see only the entries( like BPartner) from the CRM Development system only. I am not able to see any CRM Production entries. How can I see the Production entries using this common Workstation ?
Please help.
Regards,
Emily.

Hi Emily,
Just to make things little clear,
1. In the CRM Server, a site is created to bring the data to only one mobile client.(Exclusively dedicated to one mobile client.).
2. Hence for example, if you have 5 mobile clients(5 MSA running). then you will create 5 sites in the CRM Server and assign subscriptions to each and every site.
3. In your case, since you want to use the same Mobile Sales Application to access both the production and the development system, definitely the mobile client have to connect to two different CRM server to bring the to the same mobile client(MSA.)
4.But, the Mobile Client can connect to only one CRM Server at a time with the help of the assigned site ID.
5. Hence forth, if you want to use the mobile client (MSA) to connect to the developement system, then you have to change the server settings using the using the Client Console, and then reassign the site from the production site to the developement site.. In this case, the Mobile Client will be assigned to the site created in the Dev system.
Henceforth, one Mobile Sales Application can connect to 2 different CRM systems but not at the same time.
Hope the above information helped you to answer your queries.
Best Regards,
Vignesh Ravikumar.

How can I edit a Text Module in Landscape

Hi to all,
I would like to create a new Text Module in Smartforms and I would like to know if the graphic editor, similar to MS-Word, can be setup to display the page in Landscape?
My text is always edited in Portrait format and I would like to avoid calculating my characters to fit in a larger landscape presentation format.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Best regards,
Sylvain

Hi,
Thank you all for your answers but I still have the same issue.
@ Hari,
I tried your procedure and found that I was using DINA4 as a default page format. In SPAD this format was defined for Portrait and Landscape. I created a new page format ZDINA4 with a larger width but the text module presentation remains the same. I only defined the landscape record and I have the same result by clicking Print Layout or Draft. Do you know if this page format has an influence on the Text Module presentation? I would like to put the ruler much wider that it is locked at 21. Any suggestion on how to enlarge the ruler?
@ Adrian,
Yes I know how to set up the page format in the Smartforms itself but I am talking about the text module. My key user will create the Text Module and I would like to have the same width as my landscape page in the form. If will make things easier for the user to make the data entry since it looks like MS-Word except for the Portrait/Landscape issue. Any idea?
Thank you in advance for your suggestion.
BR,
Sylvain

HP 4250TN Drivers on Windows Server 2008 Print Server

Hi:
I'm having a heck of a time with HP 4250 printers installed on a Windows Server 2008 printer server. First I used the PCL6 driver downloaded from HP site. But then after client computers install printer they cannot print from Acrobat in landscape orientation. Also, whenever I select Printer Properties on the server Windows responds that the print drivers are not installed, asking if I want to install them. My client machines are a mix of XP, W7 32-bit and W7 64-bit. I switched to the PCL5 driver on the server, which fixed the Acrobat landscape issue, but now none of my XP clients can install the network printer, even when browsing to the PCL 5 driver for XP as downloaded from HP's site (I have not had success installing the x86 drivers on my 64-bit printer server).
I can install the 4250 on an XP machine w/direct TCP/IP port using PCL 5e driver but then I defeat purpose of print server.
Any suggestions on easiest driver/print server installation/cfg. is greatly appreciated!

It appears that you have a commercial LaserJet in an enterprise enviornment. It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

SAP BW Data Extraction Consultant: The BW Data Extraction Consultant is responsible to identify and obtain the data required to satisfy the requirements of the BW project. This data may include:
SAP R/3 data
New Dimension product data
Data external to SAP within the organization (legacy data)
Data external to SAP from outside the organization (provider data D&B, Nielson)
The BW Data Extraction Consultant role has a broad range of responsibilities and may require multiple individuals to satisfy the role depending on the scope of the BW project and the complexity and quality of the data.
If SAP R/3 and New Dimension data only is required to satisfy requirements and if this data is included in the standard Business Content of BW, this role may be combined with the BW Application Consultant role. This standard Business Content allows for extraction of R/3 and New Dimension data in a straightforward and rapid manner.
If non-SAP data is required, if standard Business Content must be enhanced significantly, if BAPI interfaces are being used, and/or if the data quality from the source system is insufficient, this role can be quite complex and can required significant resources. This complexity and quality of data is a primary contributor to the size and scope of the BW project.
If legacy data is being extracted a close relationship is required with the legacy extraction expert. In some cases, the legacy extraction expert may assume this responsibility.
Specifically, the BW Data Extraction Consultant is responsible for:
Designing the data solution to satisfy defined business requirements
Identifying the data in the source environment
Mapping the data to the BW environment
Identifying data quality gaps
Developing a plan to close data quality gaps
Developing the required extraction programs, if necessary
Developing the associated interface programs, if necessary
Testing of all developed programs
Ensuring integration testing of data from various sources
Developing a production support plan
SAP BW Data Access Consultant: The BW Data Access Consultant is responsible to assess the business requirements, and design and develop a data access solution for the BW project. This solution may include use of:
BWs Business Explorer
Non-SAP Data Access tools (e.g., Business Objects, Cognos, Crystal Reports, and other certified data access tools)
Visual Basic development
Web development
WAP (wireless) development
R/3 drill-through
The BW Data Access Consultant role has a broad range of responsibilities and may require multiple individuals to satisfy the role depending on the scope of the BW project and the requirements associated with data access.
The BW Data Access Consultant should work closely with the individuals responsible for business requirements gathering and analysis and have a thorough understanding of the way the data will be used to make business decisions.
Often significant change management issues are generated as a result of modifications required by end users to the data access design and implementation. As a result the BW Data Access Consultant is in a key position to provide valuable information to the change agent or change management process.
Specifically, the BW Data Access Consultant is responsible for designing the data access solution to include:
Understanding the data that will be available in BW in business terms
Identifying the way end users want to analyze the data in BW
Designing the data access solution to satisfy defined business requirements
The BW Data Access Consultant is also responsible for developing the data access solution to include:
Developing options for data access (i.e. web solution, R/3 drill through, ODS reporting, master data reporting, 3rd party tools)
Developing prototypes of data access for review with end users
Developing the required data access solutions
Developing the associated interface programs and/or customized web enhancements, if necessary
Configuring the Reporting Agent, if necessary
Configuring the GIS
Testing of all developed solutions
Ensuring integration testing of data access solution
Developing a production support plan
Working with training development to include data access solution in BW course materials
SAP BW Data Architect: The BW Data Architect is responsible for the overall data design of the BW project. This includes the design of the:
BW InfoCubes (Basic Cubes, Multi-cubes, Remote cubes, and Aggregates)
BW ODS Objects
BW Datamarts
Logical Models
BW Process Models
BW Enterprise Models
The BW Data Architect plays a critical role in the BW project and is the link between the end users business requirements and the data architecture solution that will satisfy these requirements. All other activities in the BW project are contingent upon the data design being sound and flexible enough to satisfy evolving business requirements.
The BW Data Architect is responsible for capturing the business requirements for the BW project. This effort includes:
Planning the business requirements gathering sessions and process
Coordinating all business requirements gathering efforts with the BW Project Manager
Facilitating the business requirements gathering sessions
Capturing the information and producing the deliverables from the business requirements gathering sessions
Understanding and documenting business definitions of data
Developing the data model
Ensuring integration of data from both SAP and non-SAP sources
Fielding questions concerning the data content, definition and structure
This role should also address other critical data design issues such as:
Granularity of data and the potential for multiple levels of granularity
Use of degenerate dimensions
InfoCube partitioning
Need for aggregation at multiple levels
Need for storing derived BW data
Ensuring overall integrity of all BW Models
Providing Data Administration development standards for business requirements analysis and BW enterprise modeling
Provide strategic planning for data management
Impact analysis of data change requirements
As stated above, the BW Data Architect is responsible for the overall data design of the BW project. This includes the design of the:
BW InfoCubes (Basic Cubes, Multi-cubes, Remote cubes, and Aggregates)
BW ODS Objects
BW Datamarts
Logical Models
BW Process Models
BW Enterprise Models
SAP BW Application Consultant: The BW Application Consultant is responsible for utilizing BW to satisfy the business requirements identified for the project. As provided in the other roles, if the scope of the BW project is tightly controlled and can use standard BW Business Content, InfoCubes, and Queries, the BW Application Consultant may assume the responsibility to perform several roles concurrently to include:
BW Data Architect
BW Data Access Consultant
BW Data Extraction Consultant
SAP Project Manager
Business Process Team Lead
Authorization Administrator
If this occurs, the BW Application Consultant must have a broad range of skills and this position will be under significant pressure during the course of the BW project. In this situation, the BW Application Consultant inherently must be responsible for the overall integrated design and realization of the BW solution.
If the project scope is broad and must extend Business Content, InfoCubes and/or Queries, then the project warrants resources being assigned to the roles identified above. In this case, the BW Application Consultant is responsible for the overall integrated design and coordinated realization of the BW solution.
If this role is assumed by an SAP Consultant, often the expectations are that they are familiar with all components and functionality of Business Information Warehouse. This role often naturally becomes a focal point for all design consideration related to BW.
The BW Application Consultant (or one of the resources identified above) uses the BW Administrator Workbench to perform the functions provided by BW:
Establish connections to the BW sources
Activate the standard Business Content
Enable the standard InfoCubes and Queries
Enhance the InfoCubes as required by the BW Data Architect
Enhance the Queries as required by the BW Data Access Consultant
Define authorization profiles and access

Can I write directly to a USB virtual port ?

I am using a Zebra TLP 2844 printer connected via USB. It does not generate a conventional serial port but is shown as a virtual printer port in the printer config.
For some reason, the newer driver does not provide the ability to rotate my label 90 degrees and I need to send a printer cmomand straight to the printer.
Any options for this ?
May end up having to find the older printer driver that provides for 90 degree location.
Note this is not a Portrait / Landscape issue as I have many other systems already printing correctly but this is yet another "Upgrading to Windows 7" issue I have run into.
Thanks for any thoughts...

At least one other install is also Win 7 running LV 2011 though that should have no effect. Am using the MS Word specific print functions to populate fields (bookmarks) in a word document (for a label) and sending it to the printer.
The Word document I am using on the other machine prints fine. On this new setup, it prints incorrectly (rotated 90 degrees so only part of the information prints on the label). I am using the latest driver. The other machine may not though so I had considered rolling the driver back to a previous version.
Continuing to work on it, I found that an alternate version of the label that I had on hand would print ok. Tried to compare all the settings between the good printing label and the not good one. Tried adjusting all that to no avail. Finally made a copy of the good printing one and pasted the required text and bookmarks and saved it and now it will print.
It seems that the page layout, margins and such are very critical when printing to a small label on this printer. (Label is only 1.75 wide by .75 high) If I tried to adjust the margins and shift the content, it would change how the label printed (rotation) and I could never recover back to printing correctly.
I am going to file this as a "barely stable document/printer situation" and hope it doesn't take a wild turn. Will make my label document read-only so that it won't inadvertently get changed.
The reason I wanted to write directly to the USB was to send a raw printer command to rotate the print 90 degrees. Hopefully I won't have to figure out how to do that now.
Case closed for me at this point.
Thanks....
