CFolders - actual process steps for storing, sharing and authorizing

I am PP consultant and know nothing about cFolders and even i don't have access to cFolders server as well.
I am in one project, where i need to assess the cFolders functionalities, how client can utilize that tool as per client requirement.
Requesting your help in finding some of the information as given below.
1. Process followed to store and share engineering data such as CAD drawings (2D & 3D) from SAP PLM/DMS in cFolders (Need step by step screen shots)
2. Process followed to store and share non - engineering data such as requirements docs from SAP ERP/DMS in cFolders (Need step by step screen shots)
3. Providing access to suppliers (If we provide access to one user, can we define that it will expire after some period of time. I mean, authorization is provided from date - To date basis)
4. If you have any real time case study on Collboration with suppliers using cFolders
5. What will be the process for point 1 & 2 , if we use other PLM software (not SAP PLM) and utilize cFolder colloboration. What are the integration points to be considered in this case?
SAP version ECC 6.0
Cprojects 4.5
I need your help to keep my job alive in this market condition. I hope, you understand my situation . Please send docs to the specified id in profile.
Thanks a lot .

Hi,
I have few points for you.
Requesting your help in finding some of the information as given below.
1. Process followed to store and share engineering data such as CAD drawings (2D & 3D) from SAP PLM/DMS in cFolders (Need step by step screen shots)
I think you must be clear on what do you want to do?
SAP PLM/DMS use itself to store and share information with large users of the system by managing changes effectively. So no doubt about this functionality. According to user authentication the access is given to the user of the system either for PLM/DMS. Whether he is a supplier or customer.
2. Process followed to store and share non - engineering data such as requirements docs from SAP ERP/DMS in cFolders (Need step by step screen shots)
The above answer is applicable for this point also.
3. Providing access to suppliers (If we provide access to one user, can we define that it will expire after some period of time. I mean, authorization is provided from date - To date basis)
This is possible for all the users. Apart from that you can control acess for each document also.
4. If you have any real time case study on Collboration with suppliers using cFolders
Collaboration is the term used by all the industies like Automobile, Aerospace, Heavy engineering and many more. You can get examples from these industries. But i have not worked in this scenario. The reason being many OEM's in INDIA are not willing to share their data with Tier I suppliers.
5. What will be the process for point 1 & 2 , if we use other PLM software (not SAP PLM) and utilize cFolder colloboration. What are the integration points to be considered in this case?
This you have to study the requirements properly and take a decision ont he same according to the clients requirement.
Let me know if you are looking for more info

HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing? My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing? My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93061
I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
And by the way I tried this one
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

CS5.5 Import for runtime sharing and preview problem

Hello
I'm having a strange issue with CS5.5 and the import for runtime sharing settings. Here's what I'm doing: I create two .fla's, Export.fla and Import.fla. In Export.fla, I create a shape, select it, press F8 and tick export for runtime sharing, to create a really simple exported movie clip. I click the exported symbol in the library, press Ctrl-C, switch to Import.fla and press Ctrl-V. Everything ok so far, the symbol is imported for runtime sharing.
The first problem I have at this stage is that changes I do to the exported symbol in Export.fla are not reflected in Import.fla, only in the final .swf's I can see the changes. Also, unlike in CS4 and CS5 I cannot "Update" the imported symbol in the library right-click menu, to make changes to Export.fla visible in Import.fla. The menu entry is just greyed out...
So I tried to use Authortime sharing, in the Symbol Properties for the imported symbol in Import.fla. I link the source to the symbol in Export.fla, and once I do that, everything is completely borked. The previously imported symbol is no longer imported. Whenever it is changed in Export.fla, it gets an "Export for Runtime Sharing" tick in its Properties in Import.fla, and worst, it is not shared at runtime, like I need it to.
Can anyone tell me how to get the "normal" CS/4/5 behaviour in CS5.5: a runtime shared symbol, that can be updated in Import.fla (I dont care if manually or auotmatically) when I change it in Export.fla, and which also is runtime shared?
Cheers
Ulf

Hi, JonnyDiamond
Thank you for reporting the issue for runtime sharing settings affected by authortime sharing. It is fixed for parent symbols in Flash Pro CS6, but we just recognized it is not for nested items.
As an alternative to deleting and re-copying the symbol, we see the following steps restore the original settings of the nested bitmap symbol (png in your case) for importing runtime shared library. After you open Bitmap Properties dialog of the bitmap symbol, go to ActionScript section and:
1. Uncheck Export for ActionScript
2. Check Import for runtime sharing
3. Input the path to Library.swf in URL
4. Click OK twice
Please try these steps to see if they work for you. If they do, the simalr steps can be processed via JSFL script. It would be something like this:
//// To restore the settings to import runtime shared library //////
// Get Library items
var myItems = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items;
// Store an item from myItems
var myItem;
// Path to runtime shared library. Change this to your path
var pathToRSL = "Library.swf";
// Go through Library
for (var i = 0; i < myItems.length; i++)
 myItem = myItems[i];
// Change the condition to suit to your Library
 if(myItem.itemType == "bitmap" &&
 myItem.name.split(".").pop() == "png" &&
 myItem.linkageExportForRS == true )
 switchRSSettings(pathToRSL);
// Disable Export for runtime sharing and
// enable Import for runtime sharing
function switchRSSettings(path)
 myItem.linkageExportForRS = false;
 myItem.linkageExportInFirstFrame = false;
 myItem.linkageExportForAS = false;
 myItem.linkageImportForRS = true;
 myItem.linkageURL = path;
///////////////////////// End of Script ////////////////////
We hope this would help you workaround the issue. Again, thank you for your report!
Thanks

Connection steps for SAP BW and R/3

Hi Every Body,
Can you please explain me detail about the connectivity between R/3 and BW.
General steps which am aware is as follws;-
SAP R/3 steps to be performed
1. Define Logical system---->(e.g ABC100)
2. Assign client to logical system -->(100)
3. Define RFC Destination.(Here I assume I have to give Destination user name and password should be the user which have SAP_ALL authorization) Am I right.
SAP BW Steps:-
4. Define Logical system---->(e.g ABC100)
5. Assign client to logical system -->(100)
6. Define RFC Destination.(Here I assume I have to give Destination user name and password should be the user which have SAP_ALL authorization) Am I right.
Then in BW Environment in RSA1->Source Systems->right click and choose Create
There are two options available for R/3 system one is Manual and one is Automatic.
For Manual creation we give RFC Destination should be BW system and Logical system should be R/3 and Source system name is xyz.
Is there any other steps am missing.What about the inbound and outbound Idoc Parameters.
I feel this will help while transferring data to BW.am I right.
Please clearly explain the steps for R/3 and BW connectivity.
Regards,
VJ

Hi,
For Manual creation we give RFC Destination should be BW system and Logical system should be R/3 and Source system name is xyz.
RFC Destination should be R/3 system. NOT BW system.
should i make connection with only R/3 200(Data Client) to BW
Yes you have to connect to 200 only. Not to 100.Other wise you will not get data from R/3 to BW.
What is the Use of Transport Button in RSA6.Post Processing data sources.
It will be used to create Trasnport requests on DS .
Suppose if i activate data source from Customizing client(100)and click on Transport button in RSA6 if there is connection with this client to BW. What is the Impact.
It will not give any impact on BW. Actually it ask you to create a Transport requset by Prompting the message box. After click on create button and entering the description, it will create a transport request.
Clearly explain me in detail what happen when i choose Transport Button in RSA6 for BC data sources.
It is must and should process. Because you will not activate(using of RSA5) the DS in quality R/3 system. So to use this DS in QA system, you will import the Transport request creatd in DEV r/3.
In your case, you will use client 100 for activating the DS and creating Transport reuests. And then these DS are automatically available in client 200, because DS are Client independent.

SAP process steps for tool room

What will be the SAP process steps for tool room.
Moulds are manufactured and maintenance of moulds are being done in the tool room

Hi,
Assuming the moulds are available, you may follow the steps below:
> Create mould as Equipment with PRT screen data
> Create measuring point for this equipment.
> Create counter based maintenance plans for preventive maintenance.
> Use applicable user exit to update the measuring point, in association with PP product confirmation, where this mould is used in respective work center.
> This will give the preventive maintenance schedule in accordance with usage.
> For unplanned repairs, use notification/Maintenance order route to calculate the costs and to maintain history.
> When life expires, deactivate and set 'deletion' flag' to the respective mould equipment master, so that it can not be used in production.
> Detailed scenario should be mapped, based on the actual customer requirement.

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

Process steps for customer incoming payment w.r.to Billing.

Hi all,
Can some body help me in by providing the process steps for customer incoming payment w.r.to Billing.i want to know the process from open items to cleared item , if possible pl give table names also and thier data flow using tables.
thanks

Dear Sai,
Use the transaction code F-28.Give the document date, Bank account, amount received, Value date, and the customer code. In case you know which are the document numbers against which you have received the payment, select the "Document numbers" in the "Additional selection" tab and then click on "Process open items".
Fill the document numbers in the next field, press enter and then click on "Process open items". Select the open items, simulate and then save.
In case you do not have the document numbers, then directly click "Process open items", select the line items and click "Document > Simulate" and then save.
Assign points if useful.

Best RAID configuration for storing Datafiles and Redo log files

Database version:10gR2
OS version: Solaris
Whis is the best RAID level for storing Datafiles and Redo log files?

Oracle recommends SAME - Stripe And Mirror Everything.
In the RAC Starter Kit documentation, they specifically recommend not using RAID5 for things like voting disk and so on.
SAN vendors otoh claims that their RAID5 implementations are as fast as RAID10. They do have these massive memory caches...
But I would rather err on the safer side. I usually insist on RAID10 - and for those databases that I do not have a vested interest in (other than as a DBA), and owners, developers and management accept RAID5, I put the lead pipe away and do not insist on having it my way. :-)

What are the config steps for contract hierarchies and vendor hierarchies?

Hi friends
what are the config steps for contract hierarchies and vendor hierarchies?
Regards
Raj Kumar

Contract hierarchies
A function that enables users authorized to create a purchasing contract to define relationships between super- and subordinate contracts.
A contract hierarchy consists of one or multiple contracts and is subject to the following rules:
The top node of the hierarchy cannot have a superordinate contract
Every contract except for the top node has exactly one superordinate contract
Every contract can have none, one, or multiple subordinate contract(s)
A contract can be part of no hierarchy or exactly one hierarchy
Note:Contract hierarchies are only available for purchasing contracts. They are not available for global outline agreements.
You can activate this from SRM Server> Cross application settings>Activate Hierarchies for Product Categories, Vendors, and Contracts.
Note:
These hierarchy functions should not be reset once they have been activated.
Similiarly you can do this for Vendor Hirerachies.

ECM 11.1.1.5.0 - need steps for SSO integration and configuration

Hi,
I want to upgrade recent UCM 10g to ECM (or Webcenter Content) 11g. I passed via upgrade process and it looks it is working fine. Need some validation, but basically upgrade went fine.
But I lost SSO (Windows Login) functionality, asi this ECM 11g is weblogic based and uses a bit different authentication than old version.
My current test instance setup is:
Oracle database 11gR2
Weblogic 10.3.6.0
Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite (ECM) 11.1.1.5.0
All running on the same linux machine
Currently I am only able to:
- define static users / groups in the weblogic's default authenticator
- define ldap authenticator in weblogic which can authenticate users defined in ldap
And I need to make it SSO capable (meant once user is authenticated in our windows domain, then when using Internet Explorer there is no need to enter user/password anymore)
I read some documentation and there they claim Oracle Identity Management / Access Manager is the right solution. But I do not know how to properly install and configuration of this.
Is there anybody here in this world who would provide some simple steps what needs to be done for enabling SSO for ECM 11.1.1.5.0 ?
When I read oracle documentation I am finding it to be written too much in general with too many referencing to too many other documents... I am searching for some kind of simplified installation guide for getting this SSO thing working.
Anybody here who could support me?

Hi
Steps for integration SSO (be it OAM or Oracle SSO or AD / LDAP etc ) the steps remain same except for one .
1. On WLS create the identity store provider .
This can be OID Authenticator , AD Authenticator , LDAP Authenticator depending on what you are using to store the users and their roles /groups etc .
2. Create SSO Identity Asserter .
This should be either AD Asserter (in case of using AD) , OAM Identity Asserter (if using OAM) , SSO Asserter (if using OID based SSO solution) .
3. Order the providers created in the following order and the respective flag settings :
Identity Asserter - REQUIRED
Identity Store Provider - SUFFICIENT
Default Authenticator - SUFFICIENT
After this is created stop UCM and WLS .
Start WLS admin , once it is up and running start UCM server .
Go to WLS - Security Realm - myrealm - Users and groups and verify the right set of users are seen with their correct groups .
Now launch UCM server and depending on which SSO solution is used the login page will vary where in the SSO user id / pwd can be entered .
Hope this helps .
Thanks

Process step for Investment Management

Hi SAP Gurus
Our client is into BOT projects - Build, operate adn transfer projects.
Till the time of transfer the asset is the property of our client. So the client builds an assets, maintains & operates and transfers the rights only after certain years.
For this I am suggesting using Investment Management module but I am not very clear on the process steps right from creation to Investment order for project - build & for operation.
Request you to suggest me the process steps.
Thanks,
Srikanth

BW - Process Chain for Service Orders and Confirmations

Hi,
I need advice on the creation of my process chain and basically I'm still new in this BW technical area.
I have done on the infopackage (full update) , DTP from PSA (delta once update) and DTP from ODS (delta update). My datasource is 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H and my ODS is ZSOL_O01. while my cube is ZSOL_C01.
my plan for the step of the process chain is as below. this is based on my understanding after doing 'try and error' things using the update mode for infopackage and DTP.
1. delete the old PSA/datasource - the infopackage is run in full update
2. delete the old ODS - after afew loading, seems there are afew ODS request created with same number of record and data. that's why i plan to delete the old ODS
3. run the infopackage - new PSA request will be created
4. run the DTP (PSA to ODS) - new ODS request will be created based on the new PSA request
5. run the DTP (ODS to Cube) - new cube request will be created based on the new ODS request
izzit ok with my above step? i'm not sure on the deletion of cube index. izzit needed?
thanks

i need advice on below things since this is my 1st BW task..
1. transport list - how do i group all the objects into this transport list? if the object is attach to other TR, how do i trace it and put into my transport list? should I group all the objects into 1 TR or is there any sequence should i follow? maybe characteristic/key figures 1st or DTP first...
i'll tel you the most easy way to collect transport that you will never have issues
go to RSA1--> transport conenctions
when you get your item on on left ,you have to set up few things.. on the right there is a display mode ,, do the drop down on it and do it a list and do cloeection mode manually.
you wil always get alist of items under or over then way you can pick waht you want to transport very easily withouth missing objects or figuring out what did you miss
and you can collect all in 1, Bw is smart enough to transport and activate dependences on its way as long they are in 1 transport
2. currently my source data is from my solution manager (SOLMAN) development server. should i create 1 more infopackage for SOLMAN testing server? how about production? is that means, at the end i will have 3 different infopackage for dev, testing and prod?
once you transport infopackages they autmatically gets assigned to the new system.
3. is there any step i left or missed?
not that i can think off. if any transports are locked go to se03 and unlock your transport , make sure you unlock any underlying transports, youc an find the transports in se09 or se10
