Clarification on idmerge Process.

Apologies but for some reason I thought these were now being done by Oracle , Not Pearson VUE.
However be grateful if the following points confirmed:
[1] The merge should be requested via http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle/idmerge/ ( certview and help center point here).
[2] I recall that page was for a while a form .... it is now a vague direction to another page to contact Pearson VUE Oracle support.
( Hands up if I am wrong in this .. I am also noticing this changed 12feb2013)
[3] The Oracle Support request page contains an issue category for "Testing IID Merge"
... under what circumstances should this be contacted.
The idmege merge request best practice has changed over time, and i would just like to confirm I know current best practice.
.... Anyone's comments are welcome, but this will probably need to be be Brandye for an authorative answer.

The best method for getting two IDs merged is to contact Pearson VUE. Pearson did have a merge form posted on their site for a short time, but discovered that it is best if the candidate speak to someone directly, so they re-directed candidates to simply call in. This helps avoid delays in the merge.
There is an option on the Oracle Certification Support SR form, but this is only there for candidates who do not know to go to Pearson VUE (we do still get quite a few of these merge requests) and candidates who may be having an issue with a requested merge at Pearson - they can contact us and ask us to help follow up.
Best practice is to contact (call) Pearson VUE directly to request the ID merge and check CertView after approximately 48 hrs to ensure the merge has been completed and is reflected in your CertView account.
Let me know if there are anymore questions on this!
Thanks,

Clarification of background processing and BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2

Hello,
i am sorry to mention this long discussed topic,
but i would very appreciate to clarify how can i checkin new originals for a new document using background processing.
we are trying to use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 to create a document and checkin original from a network path +
server\file.pdf+ .
i have read that i should add the path in AL11 - did it, how should i use it?
i have read that i should use the SAPFTPA & SAPHTTPA parameters when calling the function - i have these in SM59 and the connection test is successful - but what should i do with them?
will be very thankful for your help.
here's an example from our code:
call function 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'
    exporting
      documentdata         = ls_doc
     pf_ftp_dest          = 'SAPFTPA'
     pf_http_dest         = 'SAPHTTPA'
    importing
      documenttype         = lf_doctype
      documentnumber       = lf_docnumber
      documentpart         = lf_docpart
      documentversion      = lf_docversion
      return               = ls_return
    tables
      documentdescriptions = lt_drat
      objectlinks          = lt_drad
      documentfiles        = lt_files.

Hi,
Populate the document original information according as per below guideline.
The tables 'DOCUMENTFILES' contain the entries about originals that you you want to allocate to the document. The meanings of the structure fields are:
'SOURCEDATACARRIER': Data carrier name (optional) of a server on which
                     an original is stored
'STORAGECATEGORY':   Name of the data carrier that you want to check
                     original into. The function module determines the
                     storage type, SAP Database, vault, or archive
                     using the name of the data carrier.
'DOCFILE':           File name of the original
'WSAPPLICATION':     Name of the workstation application. This entry is
                     necessary when no workstation application has been
                     assigned to the document info record or the new
                     original is of another type.

Clarification on Blocked Process Report behavior

We have team members who are at odds over how this event is handled and it's coverage.
After enabling this is sp_configure, and for the sake of argument keeping the threshold = 5 (default), and no other trace filters are applied - which of the following is true, false, or misunderstood:
1. All-inclusive. The report will be generated for ANY transaction that is blocked for more than 5 seconds, meaning all transactions are contrasted against this threshold and no such transactions would be missed.
2. "ad-hoc query-like" ; point-in-time only. The threshold is only contrasted against at a point-in-time only, in that at a set interval active transactions are reported against. This would mean blocked transactions that occur between this interval
would not be reported against.
Reading the MSDN/BOL articles, the language used is terse and somewhat left open to interpretation.
The general discussion that started this is around whether or not running an external query (such as in SSMS) to report on blocking (which only reports on transactions at that point in time) is basically the same thing as running the blocked process report
trace event, except in the trace event the "query" is run at "some interval" automatically.
I am pretty sure I will win a beer if I am right on my answer to this - but I need expert arbitration. Please help me, I'm thirsty!
Thanks very much for the assist!

It's number 2: every 5 seconds the "LOCK MONITOR" checks for blocked processes and depending on the threshold will accumulate the sessions which are "still standing" after the threshold time, let's say 30 seconds.
There is no Event involved until that point of the threshold being exceeded - that then is the event (which one can trace via SQL Trace or Extended Events), not before that.

Process Chain Basics - clarification

Hello Gurus,
I would like to have some clarification on the process chains.
Could you please check my points below and comment?
1. When a process is triggered, its variant is called and the object given as variant is acted upon.
2. When the process is over, it raises an event which triggers the next process.
Could you please tell me whether what I've understood is correct?
Would also like to know from you, the meaning of the following:
3. What is an instance for a process?
4. What is a paramater for a process?
Thanks in advance,
Raj

1. When a process is triggered, its variant is called and the object given as variant is acted upon.
Whenever a process is triggered by an event or another process , a job is created that executes that process based on variants (set of saved inputs to that process)
2. When the process is over, it raises an event which triggers the next process.
if the next process is connected from previous process as a meta chain then only it could be happened. however in the same process chain , consecutive processes are connected through connector. At completion of one process,another process gets kicked off (job created) and so on.
3. What is an instance for a process?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7b/d4313b38bea774e10000000a114084/content.htm
4. What is a paramater for a process?
name of the process, variant name, and so many other settings like message, wait time etc

In STO Process How can i Change the shipping point manually

Hi,
I need clarification in STO process, shipping point determined automatically based on ovl2 setting like Shipping condition from customer master loading group from material master plant in the line item.(here the shipping point is1000.)
In my scenario it picking correctly shipping point(1000) even i have maintained manually shipping point(1200) in ovl2 but when i am creating STO document UB change shipping point at item level in shipping tab system allowing the manual shipping point (1200) but when i enter or save the document system overwrite 1200 to 1000,system consider only automatic determination in shipping point (1000)
Can you please help why i am not able to change the manually shipping point 1200( even i maintained in ovl2 manually shipping point 1200)

Process Message Category

Dear Experts,
I need a clarification How does Process message work in PP PI sheet
See as i know control recipe is created when process order is released
For setting point of control recipe destination and instruction category is assigned in Master Recipe. Control recipe destination has thier addresses and porcess instruction to be generated . Characteristic and thier values are assigned in process instruction category.
I would like to know that where is process message/ Category in the loop and How does it trigger in PPPI sheet
Can you explain me to get away from this doubt.
Regards,
Edited by: Kumar DS on Jun 10, 2009 8:23 AM

SAP has some standard Process mesaages.
Each message has a destnation, which is nothing but a BAPI.
So when a Process message is created with relevant inputs. the data is sent to the BAPI when it is sent to the destination.which gets executed and achieves the results intended for.
For example PI_Prod is use for doing a GR (101) for a Process order.
When we create a Process message with PI_PROD category all the relevant details like Order no, Material , qty, units and Storage location are neeed.then when you send it. The GR is posted.
.it is used for posting relevant changs from XMII or external systems.

Processing Key In MRP

hi,
I wanted some clarification regarding the Processing key under MRP Control Parameters in MD01
The following values are found linked to this field.
NETCH
NETPL
NEUPL
Could someone explain how exactly these keys work.and what is their significance.
Regards
Lyroj

Hi,
NEUPL: System plans all the materials that are contained in the planning file
NETCH: In net change planning only those materials are planned for which the net change planning indicator in the planning file has been set as a planning file entry. The system usually sets the indicator automatically as soon as a change is made to the material that is relevant to MRP.
NETPL: The system only plans materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to the planning run within the period which you defined as the planning horizon. The system sets the net change planning horizon indicator automatically for these materials .

Sales Analysis "No Data"

Hi,
I am having a problem shortly after upgrading to SBO 2007A. The sales analysis report of a client reports "No Data" when executed under the Items tab with the Invoices selection criteria. The report works under deliveries or orders criteria but when invoices are selected no data is displayed. The report works with no problems under the Business Partners and Sales employee tabs. What could the problem be?
Kind regards,
Anthony

Dear Anthony,
For the issue you have mentioned, please check the following.
Please make sure to choose collation setting of:
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
when installing MSSQL 2005 Server.
In order to check what the collation is set to in your server, please
run the following query:
Collation of your Server:
select SERVERPROPERTY ('collation')
(This query gets the collation settings of MSSQL 2005 System Database
"Master")
Expected answer : SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
In case you have already installed the MSSQL 2005 server with any
collation other than SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS please follow the
steps below:
Change your server collation to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
You can find Microsoft's instructions for changing an SQL server
collation here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179254.aspx
Please note that collation settings of Database "Master" needs to be
changed only. All SAP Business One Databases must not be changed! These
must remain on SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS.
If you need any clarifications with this process please refer to an
Expert Empowerment Session "SQL 2005 Server Collation settings" at

Error in MIGO in STO for capturing excise

Dear All,
I need clarification for the process of STO in regards to Excise transaction
we are doing STO as below process
1) STO PO ME21N-> DELIVERY AND GOODS ISSUE VL10B(MOV TYPE 641 -> AND BILLING VF01 -> EXCISE INVOICE J1IIN -> GRN FOR OUTBOUND DELIVERY
i just need to know the above process is correct or not coz this is we are doing for inter plant STO within same company.
or we need to follow the process as below
2) STO PO ME21N -> GOODS ISSUE WITH MOV TYPE 351 - >EXCISE INVOICE J1IS -> GRN MIGO AND CAPTURE EXCISE.
Pl suggest,
Vimlesh

Hi,
If your transaction involves Freight transfer/CST/VAT transfer you will have to rely on SD route for STO i.e. with Delivery.
However if only excise transfer is the concern without any freight or other teaxes you can adopt the MM route that is the 351 doc ->J1IS route.
hope it helps.

Returns to vendor-urgent

Hi,
I need clarification on following process
user had created returns po and activated the returns column in po.
in MIGO transaction he had selected the options of goods receipt-purchase order.
my question is that why should we select above combination.since we are not receiving any goods and more ever we r returning to vendor.
plz give me complete explanation.

Hi,
Again my question is in me21n we are selecting po type of "RETURNS PO". then y should i consider it as regular purchase order for procuring goods from vendor.
since po type it self is a returns po. and if i require procurement from vendor i create new po which had specifically meant for purchases.
plz clarify.

I agree with you. But, the optimizer's produced best_plan may not be perfect for some queries. Search in asktom site regarding cost of CBO. There is a big debate on this in one of the oracle list group by an oracle experts. Remember this could note be the same for all qureies. I am just warning you that, a low cost not gurantee that run father than a higher cost value.

SQL 2005 with database compatibiltiy level set to 80

I am working with a new client transferred to us and they have been having performance issues, particularly with an add-on solution. I have been looking as some of the database settings and noticed that the database compatibility level was set to 80 - SQL 2000 when they are running on SQL 2005 with SAP B1 2007, PL 44. Would having this set to 80 have any impact on performance? Is it suggested to absolutely set the compatibility level to 90?.
Thanks to all

Hi,
As per the SQL Administration guide, you have to choose collation setting of: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS when installing MSSQL 2005 Server.
In order to check what the collation is set to in your server, please run the following query:
select SERVERPROPERTY ('collation')
(This query gets the collation settings of MSSQL Server's System Database "Master")
Expected answer : SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
As MSSQL 2005 Server is already installed with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS, kindly follow the steps below:
Change your server collation to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
You can find Microsoft's instructions for changing an SQL server collation here:

If you have any Service pack for MSSQL Server installed, but the Service pack is not included into your DVD MSSQL Server, do as follows:
1. Uninstall Service pack
2. Change Collation Settings as per Expert Empowerment Session
3. Install Service pack again
Hope this is helpful!

Can SAP be configured to post summary amounts to gl accounts

From the payment program (RFFOUS_T) I would like the payment (EFT's in this case) to post to the bank gl account as the summary amount of the payment run. The offset to the vendor subledger's would still be individual to clear the affected vendors. The reason for this is because our bank sends us a summary amount in the BAI2 file to clear the SAP bank gl via Electronic Bank Statement. At this time we have to manually clear these items. (many to one relationship) Each EFT (per vendor) is posted separately to the SAP bank gl account but the amount coming back from the bank is a summary of the whole payment run (a single debit). I've been looking at the configuration of document types or payment methods but no luck. Anybody have any ideas, Please?

Hello,
Instead of looking at how to post summary amounts. Kindly look and analyse how to do automatic clearing of bank accounts. In bank accounting you can configure the system such that there is automatic clearing at the time of upload of Bank statement. This functionality would enable you to go ahead and do the clearing automatically.
For more details you can refer to SAP Help - Bank accounting. In case you have further clarifications on the process mapping you can post, so that we both can learn and further understand your requirement here. Precisely, thats what we are hear for right

Best way to securely backup LVM on LUKS encrypted system

I'm upgrading harddisks and would like to backup my system to external storage and restore it on the new disk
This is the high level plan:
1. use ecryptfs to create an encrypted directory on a mounted external stroage device
2. mount ecryptfs directory
3. use rsync to make a backup into the ecryptfs directory
4. swap harddisks
5. use an arch live usb to encrypt and partition new disk (LVM on LUKS)
6. mount external storage and mount encrypted ecryptfs on the storage
7. restore system with rsync
Is this the way to do it?
After reading a little on ecryptfs, it seems like the passphrase and keys I create work only for the current kernel using ecryptfs (adds to the kernel key ring). So my understanding is that if I try to decrypt and mount the ecryptfs using a live arch usb, I won't be able to.
Any clarification of the process would be of great help! Thank you

clfarron4 wrote:Any particular reason you're planning to use eCryptfs for the backup and LUKS for the actual system when you could use LUKS for both?
No particular reason for ecryptfs. I believe my two options are ecryptfs and encfs as described in the disk encryption comparison table: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Di … ison_table

I'm not sure whether this is how it works. Could you show us the documentation which led you to this conclusion please?
I'm also not very familiar with keyrings and how the kernel manages it, or whether it's possible to do what I want with ecryptfs.

Dynamic Expression

Hello, My name is Alejandro Arango
My problem is that i want to make expression dynamic, with that i mean the following:
I want to be able to change an expression in a assign Statement from concat("var1") to concat("var2") and the expression is obtained from a service so the message in the assign can be changed dynamically without having to recompile and redeploy the BPEL process. The idea is to separte the message template from the bpel process.
Thx BPEL Team

Hey Clemens thanks for the reply and also i hope you had an esplendid vacation on Croatia. Back to the topic.
The need for Dynamic Expression is due for many factors
- Bug or a Behavior in Oracle BPEL Designer (JDeveloper) that constantly reformat the bpel process file so it always clears the line feeds and carrier returns making almost imposible to mantain the messages inside the bpel process (messages for notification pourposes).
- Separate the message template from the process, so the message can be updated without having to compile again the bpel proceess for the simple reason to change a simple word in the message (Like Apache Velocity, where u have a template for creating dynamic messages)
I know that this is more like a feature request rather than a simple or need bug fix.
Also i want to know if it is possible to implement a java class that can obtain the bpel process variables outside the scope of the java:exec part. Look the example for more clarification:
XYZprocess.bpel
<process name="XYZprocess"
<bpelx:exec name="getVariableData" language="Java" version="1.4">
<![CDATA[
// This will create a string based on the template given in the file
String data = Template.generateMessageFromFile("template.txt", this);
]]>
<process/>
Template.java
Class Template
public static String generateMessageFromFile(String file, BPELXExecLet process)
Element element1 = (Element) process.getVariableData("var1");
Element element2 = (Element) process.getVariableData("var2");
return element1.toString() + element2.toString() ;
The idea is to fill the element1 and element2 variable with the variable of the bpel process. One dificult is that the class of the bpel process (BPELXExecLet) all the API methods are porotected so it can be only executed inside the bpelx:exec tag and not outside of this scope.
Thanks You.
