Change Control for package created in Modeler Perspective

Hello,
We have created a package through modeler perspective and developed couple of views in it.
Want to enable change control for the same so we can transport only the view which has some changes in it.
I have couple of questions on how to achieve the same,
1) Is there any functionality to get this done through modeler perspective itself ? by this I mean we do not create repository and other stuff
2) What will happen if I activate the change control mechanism and make change to one of the view? if any developer checks out the package to his local repository and makes changes , will he be prompted to create a Change ID during activation ?
Thanks In Advance,
MM.

Hi Vikas, the projects used inside SSMS are not compatible with those in Visual Studio. So unfortunately you cannot open and manage them inside SSMS.
The best practices we recommend are that you do your development inside Visual Studio and then publish the .dacpac file created on project build to your database - you can do this using VS, SSMS or SqlPackage.exe from the command line.
If you do not want to use project-based development but do want TFS support for version changes, plenty of developers use SSMS for day-to-day changes and then use Schema Compare inside Visual Studio to sync those updates to a project and check these in.
This gives you some level of change management and backup support.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

Effective Change control for BW

Hi All,
We have a requirement for developments in two different development environments, to merge together in one production BW System. This will require very effective change control process, of managing changes to common BW objects. I have a couple of questions for the BW Gurus.
1) What is the Best way to manage this?
2) Is there a recommended third party tool to manage this change?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Chandan.

If the resources are available I'd set up another development system that only contains common BW objects and is delivered to both development systems. Or you set up one BW system as master development system and create two different transport layers, one directly to test and prod and one 'Master' layer that only contains the common objects and is delivered to your second development and test and prod.
I'd definitely set up a common test system so that problems in development are found out early.
Other ideas:
Create strict naming guides and implement authorizations in your development systems so that it isn't possible to create the same InfoObject in both systems.
Have regular meetings between the two teams to identify common InfoObjects and DataSources early on.
Depending on the size of your SAP environment you might think about registering a namespace at SAP. This gives you a /MYNAME/-prefix on your BW-objects to differentiate the objects. But I'd only recommend it for big installations.
Best regards
Dirk

Change Control for PM content

Even though I have heard some stuff from people before, I would like the experts here to give me some idea on this -- what is the best practice when it comes to Change Control of objects and content between Dev/Test/Prod environments, especially as it relates to Performance Management content (metrics, dashboards etc).
I know that Webi, Crystal, Xcelsius and other content along with Users/Groups etc should be fine, but not so sure about the PM content. Can someone shed light on what is the best way to achieve this Change Control? Some consultants had told us in the past that BIAR or Import Wizard does not support PM content so we have ended up developing everything in Production itself, so there is no need of moving or "promoting" any of that content.
We are running BO XI R2 SP3 on Windows. Any insight into this will be highly appreciated!
Cheers,
Sarang

Hi Sarang,
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 has the Performance Management Deployment Tool (PMDT) built by the product group, which enables you to move performance management assets (i.e. goals, metrics, and more) between development, test, and production environments on XI R2.
The PMDT is a complement to the Import Wizard and requires the user to follow a precise methodology.
- With the PMDT, you can select which metric/asset you want to move between your repositories. So you can just move specific metrics as needed.
- The PMDTv2 is now available for all the XIR2 SP2 customers (it will not work with a previous version).
- The PMDTv2 is not being shipped with the XIR2 SP2 as the tool is in English only.
- The PMDTv2 is free so it is not necessary for customers but just strongly recommended to follow the training.
You will be able to find the PMDT under the SAP Support Portal:
https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bosap-supportsw
Go to Downloads -> Business Objects Downloads
In the search criteria look for:
Software product: BusinessObjects Performance Management
Product Version: i.e. XI Release 2
Software type: Utility
It will be listed as PM Deployment Tool.

Driver issue -packages created by model and os architecture

hi
in my organization 3 architechure os is installed ,WIN 7 -X86 ,WIN7-64 ,WIN8X64 , I HAVE CREATED DRIVER PACKAGE FOR 3 ARCHICHECURES FOR A MODEL LIKE
LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN7X86
LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN7X64
LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN8X64
and I have added if statement as shown in screen shot ,I am getting error on task sequence ,complete driver task sequence fails ,same time I use Lenovo model only in query it works but it pull randomly all architecture driver packages ,let say
I have selected win 7 x64 os ,but it pull all driver packages above mentioned instead of only LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN7X64 , I need two conditions are met then only driver package should install ,how tis possible
ankith

I understood correctly, but I guess you didn't understand my solution for your problem.
Like I said, if you configure your conditions correctly, it will only run the step that's configured to run. If your selection of W7 x64, W7 x86 or W8 x64 at the start of the task sequence is stored in a task sequence variable, use that as one condition
and use the WMI query of specific model for another condition.
You could even add folders so that all the OS versions for the drivers are separated, and apply your operating system filtering for each folder. For example W7 x64 -folder uses variable that determines W7 x64 is being deployed and under that folder are all
the W7 x64 driver steps with WMI query conditions for the specific model.

Using TFS and SSDT to manage the change control for the Database

Hi,
I am managing my Database version control using SSDT tool on TFS, when I have created database project I got file extension as Database.sqlproj.
I am trying to open this solution in the SSMS but its failing as its looking for the .ssmssln. My target is to provide the facility to developer that they can open any of
the data base object from ssms using project and when the alter it will get checked out on tfs and also altered on the database.

How to Change Carrier for Package Tracking in Apple Mail 8?

When I receive a shipping confirmation email, Apple Mail automatically detects the tracking number and creates a hyperlink to USPS tracking. This is wonderfully convenient... if you live in the USA.
I live in Canada, so most of my packages are shipped with Canada Post. Naturally, USPS doesn't recognize the tracking number, so this feature is essentially useless. Is there any way I can change the carrier to Canada Post, or preferably to a universal tracker such as www.packagetrackr.com?
I was hoping Apple would address this with the release of Yosemite/Apple Mail 8, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're talking about the sender name (the name that appears on the From line when you send email), to change it on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac (Command-Q) and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

Create a change request for multiple customers from spreadsheet

Hello Experts,
1.We have a spreadsheet with 100's of Customer data maintained in it , can we create a change request by downloading data from spreadsheet directly instead of manually entering the data in the CR. Also can we create a single change request for multiple Create customers.
2.Can we create CR's automatically , lets say we have 100's of customer data loaded into MDG hub by Data Services using DEBMAS Idoc , can this create automatic CR's , is this possible.
Thanks.

Change documents for STXD texts

hello,
does someone have an idea if it is possible to create change documents for texts created/manipulated with functions from function group STXD? E.g. such texts written and edited with SAVE_TEXT, EDIT_TEXT and so on.
it seems to me those functions do not natively support change documents....
regards,
anton

Config can lock the texts showing date/time/userid for when created and not allowing change to the text that has already been saved...you can edit as I recall, adding more lines, but not modify what was already there. This is sometimes used in QM, etc., so that there's a "trail"...

Copy control for inbound delivery

Hi All,
I need some help for copy control for inbound delivery. Can any one let me know where is the customization for this?
Is it t.code VTLA.
Path in IMG:Logistics Exectuion-->Shipping>copy control--
>specify copy control for delivery
But I am not sure if the above is the correct customization path.
The reason....
for target document type EL(Inbound delivery) the source document type is DL (order type schduling agreement). Ideally for inbound delivery the source document type should be purchase order. But I can't find the purchase order document types in F4 option.
All documents which are showing are sales order.
Awiting your reply.

Sushanta

Specify Copy Control for Deliveries
In this menu option, you define control data for the document flow of deliveries.
You can specify for a particular delivery type, which document type is to be assigned to copied reference documents, and which item categories are to be copied.
You must also make specifications for copying requirements and data transfer, as well as quantity and value updates in document flow. This must be done for each copying procedure at header and item level on a detail screen.
Note
If you define new sales document types, item categories or schedule line categories by copying existing ones, the SAP system automatically copies all specifications for the document flow. You may want to check the copy controls for newly created sales document types, item categories or schedule line categories.
Actions
1. Check the document flow defined in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Define to what extent you have to modify its specifications to meet your requirements.
3. Define the document flow for deliveries with reference to sales document types.
Note
Make sure to maintain copy control for the following areas:
Sales documents
Deliveries
Billing documents
If you cannot find an entry, check the copy controls in other chapters.
Complete overview of copy control:
In the chapter on sales, you can find copy controls for:
Sales documment by sales document
Billing document by sales document
In the chapter on deliveries, you can find copy controls for:
Sales document by delivery
In the chapter on billing, you can find copy controls for:
Sales document by billing document
Delivery by billing document
Billing document by billing document

Create a model for WebDynpro

Hello everybody:
I have created the navigation view for an application, with all the fields and stuff. However, I do need Database access (it's some kind of a school management system) for normal things such as login, etc.
I've learned that for linking a WebDynpro app and database (model) EJB are the way to go. However I find it way to "square", after reading the "Car Rental" tutorial. I doesn't leave much room for changes and it requires the web service to be perfect and then be imported for my model... is there another way to link or to create a model?.... I don't want to "Import" the model, but create it.
Thanks everyone in advance

hi
if you are creating your table and other data stuffs in the abap side. you can connect to the R3 side and get data. try this link for help in doing that
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/webdynpro/creating a web dynpro application accessing abap functions.pdf
and if you are using oracle you can use ejb and you can connect to it using the code below
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ic.lookup("localejbs/<Name of EJB project>/<Bean name>");
UrlEjbLocalHome home = (UrlEjbLocalHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow
(obj,UrlEjbLocalHome.class);
UrlEjbLocal ejbs = home.create();
//Write the following code as a function in your EJB and call it after the above given code using the object of type 'UrlEjbLocal' named 'ejbs'
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<IPAdd>:<Port>:<DBName>",
                         <LoginId>,
                         <PassWd>);
hope this might help you.

Create EJB Control For Remote Server

I'm having trouble creating an EJB control for a EJB residing in a remote server.
First, I've a JAR containing the remote/home interfaces and added it as a Library in the WLW 8.1 application.
When creating a new EJB Control, there's no way to successfully create the control.
At the STEP 2 GUI:
I am able to specify a JNDI-NAME, but the home/bean interface fields are empty. If I click on "Browse application EJBs..." button, nothing is available. If I click on "Browse server EJBs", it only shows EJBs in the current server.
Thanks

Hi
I believe you are on Workshop8.1 Spx.
This is a known issue. The reason the ejb does not show up as an application ejb because we have just the interfaces as a library and not the whole EJB.
Since the EJB's are not deployed on the server it will not show up either.
Unfortunately there is no way to point to a remote domain and get all the ejb's deployed there.
Workaround:
You can deploy the ejb locally, create the ejbcontrol and then undeploy the EJB. You need to manually change the home jndiname to use the remote server url.
Thanks

Need help writing script to change version control for all document libraries in all sites

Hello,
I found this script, http://get-spscripts.com/2010/10/changing-sharepoint-list-settings-using.html that
changes versions control for a document library. However, many sites have many document libraries with different names. The script below just changes a the settings to a document library that is named "Shared Documents", but does not
change one if its named something else. How can change the script to loop through all document libraries so their settings are changed?
$site = Get-SPSite http://site
$listName = "Shared Documents"
#Walk through each site in the site collection
$site | Get-SPWeb |
ForEach-Object {
#Get the list in this site
$list = $_.Lists[$listName]
#Create a version each time you edit an item in this list (lists)
#Create major versions (document libraries)
$list.EnableVersioning = $true
#Create major and minor (draft) versions (document libraries only)
$list.EnableMinorVersions = $true
#Keep the following number of versions (lists)
#Keep the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorVersionLimit = 7
#Keep drafts for the following number of approved versions (lists)
#Keep drafts for the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit = 5
#Update the list
$list.Update()
#Dispose of the site object
$site.Dispose()
Paul

Sorry, I agree. It will update Style Library and other out of the box ones. Include the library titles in a collection and run the update against them provided these libraries are common across all sites. If not, you will have to first get an extract of
all such libraries in all sites say in a CSV file and then update the script below to refer to the CSV records.
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction Stop;
#List of Libraries to be updated.
$Libraries = @("Shared Documents","My Document Library");
$spAssgn = Start-SPAssignment;
$site = Get-SPSite http://site -AssignmentCollection $spAssgn
#Walk through each site in the site collection
$site | Get-SPWeb -Limit ALL -AssignmentCollection $spAssgn |
ForEach-Object {
#Enumerate through all document libraries
$_.Lists|Where{$_.BaseTemplate -eq "DocumentLibrary" -and $Libraries -contains $_.Title}|Foreach-Object{
#Get the list in this site
$list = $_;
#Create a version each time you edit an item in this list (lists)
#Create major versions (document libraries)
$list.EnableVersioning = $true
#Create major and minor (draft) versions (document libraries only)
$list.EnableMinorVersions = $true
#Keep the following number of versions (lists)
#Keep the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorVersionLimit = 7
#Keep drafts for the following number of approved versions (lists)
#Keep drafts for the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit = 5
#Update the list
$list.Update()
Stop-SPAssignment $spAssgn;

What is the path or TC for changing control of recon account in vendor

Hi Gurus,
Pl tell the TC or Path for changing the reconciliation account control for vendor as like in asset recon account.
Pl itsUrgens
Thanks in advance

Hi:
What i guess from your requirement that you need to control the field Reconciliation account, some users should be allowed to change the recon account and other should be restricted from doing so? If i am right then you can do that easily with the help of BASIS guy. F_LFA1_AEN Customer: Change Authorization for Certain Fields will do the needful for you.
Ask your Basis consultant to implement authorization's checks against F_LFA1_AEN for this Transaction code for the user profiles as desired by you. Before that do the necessary customization in SPRO as follows:
Define your change groups in the task level menu of Financial Accounting >A/R & A/P -> Credit management -> Define Field group-> Assign Fields -> Groups.
While assigning you can find the field LFB1-AKONT . Your issue will be resolved.

Program for creating a model is locked by User

Hi Guys,
We have created a process chain to create the Integration Model and to activate the Integration Model using this prg RIMODGEN. So, This prg we have created variants for different location wise. This process chain contains 13 processes For each location, which is running in parallel. Some time we are getting the error message " Program for creating a model is locked by User
Regards

Dear Pullaiah,
Locking happens if there is any overlap of models or duplicate scheduling of jobs with same variant.
See include LCIFIF01
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ECIF_IMOD'
EXPORTING
    mode_cif_imod = 'E'
    modelname      = i_modid
    logsys         = i_logsys
    apoapp         = i_appl
EXCEPTIONS
    foreign_lock   = 1
    system_failure = 2
    OTHERS         = 3.
So this means for you, you get the lockentry if the modelname, logsys and apoapp is the same. So please check again your variants if there is one with the same integrationmodels.
This can be the only reason we you get here this entry in your joblog.
Regards,
Tibor
