Changes to Dictionary objects in ECC 6.0

Hi,
we are doing an upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0
how to keep track of chnages made to the dictionary objects like
1.Tables
2.Indexes
3.Structures
4.Search helps
5.Data Element and domains.
Many Thanks

Hi,
data Dictionary objects can be seen in Transaction SPDD where as all other objects can be see in SPAU Transaction.
These transactions will show those objets which has been modified by user exit/SAP note or some other custom modifications in 4.7 system.
Hope this helps!!

How can we find the obsolete data dictionary objects in ecc 6.0 version

My Question is How can trace the obsolete data dictionary objects in ecc 6.0 version such that we could
anticipate the obsolete objects before upgradation.
Regards,
Raghunadh Babu.

Hi Raghunadh,
The data dictionary objects will be in the repository itself if activated.If the data dictionary objects was created by user and if it is not activated.In this scenarion the data dictionary object can be seen in object navigator.Please check the transaction SE80 and SE81.
Hope your query resolves.
Have a best day ahead.

Obsolete dictionary objects in ECC 6.0

Hi all,
Will you tell me where i can find the obsolete dictionary objects along with the replacement in ECC 6.0. I got it for FUNCTIONAL MODULES , need it for other dictionary objects. Thanks in advance...
Thanks & regards,
Navina.V.

Hi navina,
If you are looking it for Upgrade purpose, you can find the dictionary objects which are obsolete in transation SPDD/SPAU under deleted objects.
But there wont be any replacements given, if you still have the objects used in some programs you need to take a Zcopy of the same and adjust the program.

Changes to existing Reports,Dictionary objects when we migrate DataBase to SAP HANA

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know the changes that effect to existing ABAP Dictionary objects, Reports, MPP etc... that we build by using ABAP if we migrate our underlying database to SAP HANA from any RDBMS.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep Rajanala

Dear Sandeep Rajanala,
In general the existing ABAP code(reports, classes, module pool programs, function modules etc) runs on SAP HANA as before and the existing dictionary objects like tables, views, DDIC types and structures continues to exist and work as before after migration.
However if the existing ABAP Code relies on the technical specifics of the old database , ABAP Code changes might be necessary(which is the case for any database migration ).
For example,
Your ABAP code uses a feature that is specific to the old database and not in the SQL standard and therefore not in Open SQL(consumed via Native SQL using EXEC SQL or ADBC interface)
You have ABAP code that relies on unspecified undocumented implementation behaviour of the old database
the above cases may need minor code changes in ABAP during HANA migration inorder to ensure that your ABAP Code runs with functional correctness after migration.
The SAP note 1785057 gives guidelines on migrating the existing ABAP Custom Code for HANA.
Additionally we have several code inspector checks to find the ABAP code that requires changes and you can find details about these check in SAP note 1912445.
In addition you can find an elaborate guide for transitioning custom ABAP code to HANA here which has a dedicated section on required and recommended adaptations during custom code migration.
You can also find the recording of the SAP Teched 2013 hands on session which focuses completely on ABAP Custom Code migration aspects for HANA here
Hope this answers your question and gives you some pointers on how you could prepare your ABAP for migrating to HANA.
Please revert back if you have further questions.
Best Regards
Sundar.

Can I create a dynamic dictionary object in WF using SPD?

I am creating a list of task in a loop. I need to store the taskIDs in a dictionary object. How can I do this?
The loop looks like:
Loop N times-->Create a task-->Add Task1-TaskID to Dictionary object-->Loop
Example of how the dictionary object should look like:
Task1-->TaskID1
Task2-->TaskID2
The problem that I am facing is that the dictionary object does not allow a variable for name. Would appreciate any thoughts/workarounds.
Thanks
Farida

Hi Rulix,
The latest version of CR Server is 2008. Therefore I'm assuming you are using CR Server 2008.
New in CR 2008 is the .NET report modification software development kit (SDK). The report application server (RAS) SDK is now available for users of Crystal Reports .NET API without the use of a RAS server. Report modification such as changing, adding, or removing database providers, or adding, removing, or creating report objects, parameters, formulas, and sections can be achieved by accessing the RAS SDK through the Crystal Reports .NET SDK.
Java developers however receive the JRC and Java SDK documentation through the free Crystal Reports for Eclipse download. This product will be updated on a separate schedule from Crystal Reports.
Further Information and samples are available in our [Developer Library|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects?rid=/webcontent/uuid/5001d5de-f867-2b10-00bf-8d27683c85a0]
Kind regards,

Delta Replication for Customizing object from ECC- CRM

I need help on delta replication activate for customizing objects from ECC to CRM. I finished with initial load with product replication and everything worked weel. The problem is that product hierarchy continuely changing in ECC everyday, so the delta for the products error out due to incorrect product heirarchy in CRM becuase the delta is not working for DNL_CUST_PROD0, and DNL_CUST_PROD1. Please show me how to activate the delta for those DNL. What business transaction do I need for those so the delta will work for them too? Rewards points if helpful

I think you need to do Request downlaod for the Product Hirearchy when ever there is new one created in ECC.You can do request downlaod by creating the object using R3AR2. Exeute the object though R3AR4 and monitor the status using R3AR3.

Newbie - help needed with array and dictionary objects

Hi all
Please see the code below. I've posted this code in another thread however the original issue was resolved and this is now a new issue I'm having although centered around the same code.
The issue is that I'm populating an array with dictionary objects. each dictionary object has a key and it's value is another array of custom objects.
I've found that the code runs without error and I end up with my array as I'm expecting however all of the dictionary objects are the same.
I assume it's something to do with pointers and/or re-using the same objects but i'm new to obj-c and pointers so i am a bit lost.
Any help again is very much appreciated.

Ok, so I know what the issue is now...I just don't know enough to be able to resolve it!
it's the tempAuthors objects.
It's an NSMutableArray which is create on the line before the start of the WHILE loop.
Having looked through the debugger, I can see that each dictionary object is created (with different codes which I assume are memory addresses) so all is well there. However, on each iteration of the loop in the middle there is an IF...ELSE... statement which in the ELSE section is clearing all objects from the tempAuthors array and beginning to repopulate it again.
Looking at the containing dictionary objects in the debugger I can see that the tempAuthors object that each contains has the same code (again, I'm assuming this is a memory address) - so if I understand correctly, it's the same object...I assumed that when I created the dictionary using the dictionWithObject call that I would be passing in a copy of the object, but it's referencing back to the object which I then go on to change.
Assuming the above is correct, I've tried several "stabs in the dark" at fixing it.
I've tried relasing the tempAuthors object within the ELSE and initialising it again via an alloc...init - but this didn't work and again looking through the debugger it looks as though it was confused as to which object it was supposed to be using on the following iteration of the WHILE loop (it tried to access the released object).
Having read a little more about memory management can someone tell me if I'm correct in saying that the above is because the tempAuthors object is declare outside the scope of the WHILE loop yet I then try to re-instantiate it within the loop (does that make sense???).
Sorry for the long post...the more I can understand the process the less I can hopefully stop relying on others for help so much.
I am continuing to read up on memory management etc but just not there yet.

ECC 6.04 transport objects to ECC 6.05

Hi Experts,
My apology in advance if I posted it in the wrong category.
I'd like to know if its possible to transport objects from ECC 6.0 eh4 to ECC 6.0 ehp5?
Cheers,
R-jay

Dear R-Jay,
I'll try to explain things with some examples.
SAP objects may not be transported between different releases (e.g. a table in an old release could have less fields than in the newer release and thus such a transport might delete data or if an abap calls a function module and both have in the new release one parameter more, then you get syntax errors if you transport only one of them from
a system with the old release, ...).
So data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions...
For pure customer objects (e.g. Z-tables, Z-programs, Y-tables, Y-programs or objects in customer namespace) it might be ok to transport them. But if, for example, your Z-table uses an SAP data element which has maybe been changed in the new release or does maybe no longer exist, you can also get problems during transport of your Z-table.
Therefore, if you decide to transport objects between your SAP ECC 6.0 ehp4 and the ehp5 you must be really carefull because several inconsistences may arise. Anyhow, from a technical point of view this transports should be handled as normal transports.
I hope above information would help.

Nitin

Do not allow change of Reference Object after Order release

Dear All,
The requirement is that we should lock(not able to change) the Reference Object after the Maintenance Order is released. Can we acheive this in standard way or do we need to go for development.
If going for development what should be the basic logic.
Regards,
MLN Prasad

Prasad,
You are accomplishing the same utilizing the built in enhancement framework([Implicit enhancements|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/70/63da4023a28631e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]), WITHOUT making a MODIFICATION to the system. This technology / functionality is available from ECC 6.0 . You would need to be very careful in using the implicit enhancement functionality so that you don't break the flow. Your requirement seems to be a simple one which could be accomplished by tweaking the screen attributes of the field under certain conditions, for this specific screen in the program. You may also have to make the Priority field a display only, so that it doesn't trigger a change through it via the user exit or through standard.

Error while changing the Resource Object Status

Hi,
I am trying to change the resource object status from Waiting to Provisioned for a self service task. Before approval I see the Resource Object Status as " Ticket Sent To REMEDY" on the administrator's web console and at the Requestor's web console I get the following error message-
???en_US.global.viewProfileForm.Lookup.Ticket-Sent-to-REMEDY???
But after approval, based on the completion the task, the process on both the consoles is set to provisioned. That is what I want to display but the problem comes when the requestors sees the error status message on its console before approval.
Can any body tell me the reason of the above error and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance

do you have any custom written event handlers getting triggered off after request submission or during approval?
It might also be due to either a browser issue or you might have missed any entry in the xladmin properties file for a custom label/error message etc.

Do you know how to change the Text Object for Billing Document?

Hi,
If you execute Transaction VOTX or VOTXn it will take you to Text Determination. The Billing Doc & Sales Document both has the VBBK as Text Object for me and is it like that for all.
I need to change the Text Object to VBRK for Billing Doc, which is the ideal because I am using the Function Module READ_TEXT to retrieve text. This work perfectly for Sales Document which has VBBK as Text Object, but does not work for Billing Doc where it through as error message saying Text 0020000021 ID 0002 language EN not found.
Thank You
Kishan

Hi kishan,
For updating these text you can use FM 'SAVE_TEXT'.
As for your problem, to get the parameter you need, go to the billing document, go to the text, and display it in plain page mode.
Then you do 'GO TO' -> 'HEADER', and a pop-up window open with the parameters you need Obect type, ID, Name, ...

Data not updated in business entity after change in architectural object

Hi,
A business entity was created from Architectural Object.
When we modify the address in the architectural object, the data is not updated in the business entity.
Is there any solution that make an automatic update for the address in business entity after a change in architectural object ?
Thx for your help.
Regards
Saad

Hi,
I have created new infopackage and ran. Now the following message I have got on the monitor.
"Data not received in PSA Table

Archiving object in ECC

hi gurus,
need some procedure help in identifying archiving object in ECC system.
i would like to what exactly do we look in TAANA and DB15 ,after sorting the largest and fast growing DB tables .
TAANA basically shows the records and table entries. DB15 shows the relation between the table and archiving object.
i need some inputs in identifying the right archiving object using these tools. I went through standard guides but I'm not getting a clarity.
please assist

Hello,
For identifying the archiving object for respectable you can use DB15 transaction. Note that you should have some idea in archiving area so that is will be easier to conclude on archiving object.
Your understanding on display of archived data is wrong.
Archive data are stored in archive file non-readable format, while display SAP convert the data into readable format to user.
This will not reload the data into tables while reading the archive data.
Archive information system is very well build, it is easy to handle with business requirement on views & managing archive index table, so i would suggest to make use of archive information system to display from archive.
Hope it will give some lights on display of archived data.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Limit PO price changes are not replicated to ECC backend

Hi all,
SRM 5.0 ECS SP13.
When I change the value(increase/decrease) in limt PO which is already created(PO is changed for first time) and order the PO,under Overview screen.,the PO total value(at header level) shows the correct changed /new value while at the Item level,the Net price is shown as the old value!However when I go and check the item details,the field "VALUE" and "EXPECTED VALUE" have the changed/new value.
Because of the above issue,the PO changes are not replicated to ECC backend system.When I tested the BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE1 with the test data,there is no error mesasge in ECC backend system.
After this,when I change the PO for second time(again value increase/descrease),the total value and net price is shown correctly in SRM and changes are also replicated to ECC backend system!
I have also checked the cong for SPOOLPARAMETERS under Set Control Parameters and eveything is set correctly as shown below
SPOOL_JOB_USER     User that execueds spool job.     CUA_ADMIN
SPOOL_LEAD_INTERVAL     intervall by which the retrytime incr.     60
SPOOL_MAX_RETRY     Max. number of retrys for writing BAPIS     10
Can someone throw some pointers how to resolve the above issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
can you recreate the same issue
are you saying that
1. create a limit po for 100 USD and replicated to ECC AS 100 USD total value.
2 . now update the PO in SRM 150 USD and it was not replicated to ECC ?
or
1. limit sc
2. Limit PO
3. update not reached ECC.
Note 1284361 - Limits not transferred to backend purchase order
Symptom
Extended classic scenario.
You have ordered a purchase order with more than one hierarchy item containing a limit.The purchase order is created or updated in the backend system without errors but the limits are missing in the backend purchase order.
