BI7.0 SAP Support

Dear BI consultants,
In our project, BI 7.0 implemented. BI developers are using Bex analyzer, WAD, Report designer, Query designer tools.
I heard next year SAP will introduce business object and SAP will stop the support for the above mentioned tools.
So is it mandatory to change to BO in 2009? will SAP support BI7.0 development tools in 2009?
(I visited service.sap.com/PAM and found that BI will come under SAP NW04s and its support is till 2013)
Edited by: Imran Mulani on Sep 1, 2008 11:31 AM

In this article its nowhere mentioned SAP will not support bex after 2010. Its mentioned enhancement will stop but my question will SAP support Bex after 2010 ?
1. BEx Web Application Designer will be not be further enhanced beyond the release 7.0 EhP1
in 2008.
2.Pioneer (code name for 2009 release) provides superset of capabilities from both BEx 7.0
and Business Objects Voyager. Voyager customers migrate to Pioneer. BEx Web Analyzer
will be not be further enhanced.
3. BEx Report Designer 7.1, last release in 2008, available without enhancements until
2010, maximum maintenance until 2016, will be replaced with Crystal Light product.

Does SAP support Solaris 10 ZFS filesystem when using DB2 V9.5 FP4?

Hi,
I'm installing NW7 (BI usage). SAPINST has failed in the step "ABAP LOAD due to the DB2 error message
"Unsupported file system type zfs for Direct I/O". It appears my Unix Admin must have decided to set these filesystems as ZFS on this new server.
I have several questions requiring your expertise.
1) Does SAP support ZFS filesystems on Solaris 10 (SPARC hardware)? I can not find any reference in SDN or Service Market Place? Any reference will be much appreciated.
2) How can I confirm my sapdata fielsystems are ZFS?
3) What actions do you recommend for me to resolve the SAPINST errors? Do I follow the note "Note 995050 - DB6: NO FILE SYSTEM CACHING for Tablespaces" to disable "Direct I/O" for all DB2 tablespaces? I have seen Markus Doehr's forum Link:[ thread|Re: DB2 on Solaris x64 - ZFS as filesystem possible?; but it does not state exactly how he overcame the error.
regards
Benny

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your input.
I have also found the command "zfs list" that would display any ZFS filesystems.
We have also gone back to UFS as the ZFS deployment schedule does not meet this particular SAP BW implementation timeline.
Has any one come across any SAP statement that states NW7 can be deployed with ZFS for DB2 database on Solaris SPARC platform. If not, I'll open an OSS message.
regards
Benny

Netviewer crashes my dell pc when trying to connect to sap support

Hi all, if this is in the wrong place, please move it.
I have had a problem that my pc crashes (blue screen) after i initiate netviewer online to connect to sap support. it is a pain because we have to use an older product and the response time is slow. i contacted netviewer directly and they sent me this fix, which has worked perfectly.
Dear customer,
Thank your for contacting Netviewer Support.
This is a known issue. When Netviewer starts on a Dell computer, the application produces a blue screen. What is causing this?
This phenomenon occurs only on Dell PCs with a preinstalled Windows operating system.
The file that causes a blue screen is no longer installed. The integrated sound card is from IDT (www.idt.com) but the file "ctAudDrv.sys" belongs to Creative Labs Advanced Audio FX Engine.
Remove the problem as follows:
Rename the file "ctAudDrv.sys" to "ctAudDrv.sys.bak" under "C:WindowsSystem32Drivers".
Restart the PC.
Download and install the appropriate audio driver from the Dell website at www.dell.com, for example: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/IDT_92HDxxx-HD-Audio_A06_R213367.exe
Für weitere technische Fragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung./
Si vous avez des questions techniques n'hésitez pas à nous les poser./For further technical questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen/
Best regards/
Très cordialement/

Hi Erik,
This is the .NET SDK forum for software development using the Crystal Reports programming runtime and nothing to do with Netviewer. No idea who looks after it...
Best to create a case in SMP and discuss with a Support Rep.
Thanks
Don
PS - not the first time the OEM Build of Windows for DELL has caused problems. I personally find it's better to update/upgrade to an off the shelf version of Windows.

SAP support tenure for SAP PI 7.0

Experts,
Can any of you tell me when does the SAP support for PI 7.0 cease?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks.

try sapsr3.<table> instead of sap<sid>
SAPSR3 is the schema now. Once lock is removed , try to login with sap*/ddic with master password which you gave while installing.

So I decided to try opening up the laptop to see if I could open the CD drive and take the thing out manually. So, first, I shut down the computer. Then, I read this article describing how to open the laptop, and was deterred!
http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/macos/story/0,10801,90256,00.html
That was more than I'm ready to take on, so I started up the laptop again, holding down the mousekey on startup just for the heck of it - after it had been totally shut down for about 5 minutes, and lo and behold, my CD was recognized, readable, and ejectable.
The troubleshooting info said to try the mousekey trick on RESTART. But in this case I had SHUT DOWN all the way for some minutes and the pressed the power button to restart. I guess that made a difference for some reason.
Anyway, maybe someone will find this info useful some day.

OutlookSoft 4.2 - SAP Support Strategy

Hello All,
I want to know the SAP's support strategy for OutlookSoft/BPC. Specifically, when the support for 4.2 is ending?
Our Client is on 4.2 SP3. What is the recommended support pack for OutlookSoft 4.2?
Also, are there any maintenance fees for OutlookSoft 4.2 in order to be supported by SAP for extended period of time?
Regards,
Prabhu
Edited by: Prabhu Chinnakonda on Aug 29, 2008 7:45 PM

Hi,
I think, it is better to upgrade to BPC 5.X /7.X from OutlookSoft 4.2-SP3, so that your organization will be on par with latest SAP BPC tools. From BPC 9.X ( should be released around late 2009), this will be all together new tool, with complete changes & total integration with BI/IP/SEM in it.. By that time OutlookSoft 4.2, will be all most uotdated. Neverthless you can upgrade to OutlookSoft 4.2-SP4/SP5, but again in future you need to upgrade to BPC 5.X/7.X.
For upgardations & support , please contact SAP Support, where you will get complete details & dates.

Does SAP support open tender process for Vendor selection

Hi all,
Does SAP Support Open tendering process for Vendor Selection.
I men in my clients scenario. For vendor selection process for any material starts with advertisement of tender in newspaper. Vendor replies back with his quotation. After receiving technical and commercial quotation, the organization go for technical bidding and those who qualify in technical bidding they contest for commercial bidding. After commercial bidding, comparative statement is prepared and then purchase committee approves the vendor. The problem is that any no. of vendors from any where can give their reply to the tender as it is a government organization. So, how to map this process in SAP as we are not directly sending RFQ to the vendor, instead he reply back with quotation directly once he sees the advertisement in newspaper.
I want you all to suggest me whether to keep this process in SAP or out of SAP. waiting for your response.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your response. My problem is that the organization advertise its tender in newspaper of all india circulation and seeing that tender vendor reply back with quotation. They don't identify who all are the vendors to whom RFQ is send. only when reply of vendor comes with quotation client comes to know about the vendors submitting quotation. Normally one vendor is selected for one material and 20 to 25 vendors give their quotation. Is it feasible to bring those 25 vendors in SAP if only one will be selected. Because in any way, for any processing we need to create vendor in SAP. So do we need to create 25 vendors, though we know we require only one finally. Can you please clarify this issue. If you want I can mail you the whole process map.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Remote connections in SAP support portal time out

Hello, we are having a problem opening connections to our systems in the support portal and would appreciate any help and direction. This is probably a problem with our SAPRouter or firewall configuration but have been unable to identify where that problem is, and we are working closely with our network folks to try to correct. We are able to download OSS notes through SNOTE and all of the RFC's work correctly but we can't seem to keep a connection open to allow SAP support to login to our systems. The connection appears to open for about three minutes but then gives the error "Host did not respond 1-9 times" then the connection shows cancelled after about 18min. We have had a high priority incident open with SAP for the last couple of weeks but haven't got much response from them. SAP has the IP addresses of our SAPRouter and VPN correct and the routestring is correct.
SAPRouter = 216.253.195.169
VPN = 216.253.195.170
Routestring = /H/colo-sap-router.insummit.com/S/3299
We are able to ping SAP(194.117.106.129) from the saprouter server successfully. A few things I have read indicate that a simple test is that you should be able to telnet to SAP(ip above) on the configured port, 3299 but this we are not able to do and we've told this to SAP, we can telnet to port 21 but not 3299.
SAPRouter is on a Windows 2008 server OS using VPN. Attached is our saprouttab file.
Also attached is a trace.out file, and dev_rout file.
Here are the firewall ACLs:
access-list Outside extended permit ip host 216.253.195.169 host 147.204.100.142

Does SAP Support Adobe Acrobat 8.1.4 ?????

Hello Colleagues,
I just want to now which all versions of Adobe SAP supports and in particular if Adobe Acrobat 8.1.4
is supported.
Thanks & Regards,
Kavitha.

Captivate 4 is sold als a separate product, but you can also find it in the eLearning Suite, which contains also Acrobat 9 Pro (but also Flash CS4, Dreamweaver CS4, Photoshop CS4, Soundbooth CS4...etc). Acrobat Reader (version 9 for the moment) is indeed completely free. Why do you ask this question: thinking about integrating Captivate in pdf-documents?
