Configuration strategy for ThinkVantage

I like ThinkVantage but I would be happier if I could learn what parts of that system can be safely disabled or even uninstalled. In other words, I am looking for a clues what is essential and what is optional. Also some parts of ThinkVantage package seems to be redundant to what operating system offers. For example it looks like "Power Management/Battery Indicator" from ThinkVantage and "Power Manager" from Vista (available through small icon in system tray) offer nearly identical functionality. If there is a reason why we should use ThinkVantage pieces over similar function offered by O/S I would love to know and understand the difference/benefits. Windows Vista is eating so much resources that every byte we can save seems to be important. On top of that, there is many other reasons why we should not be running software we do not need/use.
So, could you please share your opinions/knowledge or/and point me to some reasonable pieces of documentation ?
I appreciate any help on that.
Thsnk you

Hello,
first of all, be patient. Burn Recovery Disks.
Vista will get ready in two weeks, after your software installations.
I would recommend to simlpy disable from start up, CSS, Private Disk, R&R if you don´t use it.
You can get problems if you uninstall them.
Use TuneUp Utillities or another program, that´s very comfortable and you can revert switches easily.
Access Connection is usefull, if you want different IP´s in different networks.
Powermanager is important for battery life in common, cause it decides, when your battery must have a charge.
Switch it to automatic charging and leave the battery in your system then turn back and relax.
Prasentation Director will not harm and is usefull if you want different monitor or TV profiles.
APS is usefull.
It will take time to know your Thinkpad, but you want loose it.
Regards
Andreas

what is best configuration strategy for rman backup.AND BACKUP WITH RECOVERY CATALOG OR WITHOUT RECOVERY CATALOG
PLEASE TELL ME
Edited by: afzal on Feb 26, 2011 1:45 AM

For simply two databases, there really wouldn't be a need for a recovery catalog. You can still restore/recover without a controlfile and without a recovery catalog.
From this:
afzal wrote:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 days.I am assuming you want to keep two weeks worth of backups, therefore these:
alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=15 days;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 daysShould be:
RMAN> sql 'alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=22';
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14;22 would give you that extra layer of protection for instances when a problem occurs with a backup and you want to ensure that data doesn't get aged out.

Regards,
Srini

Hi
K-Mat Creation steps
1) Create Char in CT04 with assignment of Control indicators and Char values
2) Create Class in CL02 with type 300 and assign the Char to it
3) Assign this class to Material in Classification view in MM02
4) Create Configuration Profile in CU41 and Main Profiles for PP & SD relevancy
5) Assign Constraints and Procedures to Each Profile as per the rules required by design or Business
6) Create a Configurable Material (Mat type - KMAT) with Classification,Sales,MRP,Accounting views and Planning stg 25
7) Create A Super BOM(for K-mat) and assign all the comp with Proper Selection & Pre conditions
8)Create Super Routing(For K-mat) and Assign all operations with Proper Selection
Material Variant(MV) Creation Steps(Material variants are the stockable items in VC Scenario)
1) Create a MV with Material type FERT and Stg 10 or 40 (Classification view not essential)
2) Assign the K-mat material to this MV in Basic data - 2 view in Cross Plant CM field and click on Configure variant tab to select the fixed char value combination for this MV. Do the same steps in MRP-III view
By this way u can make the stock of configure items

Release strategy for Scheduling Agreement(SA)

Dear Forum,
This issue is with regards to the release strategy for Scheduling Agreement(SA)
Until now release has only been applicable to contracts at our client site. But we now plan to introduce it for SA as well. Such a feature is available in SAP but the problem is that with the given release strategy GR is not allowed until the release is affected. The system allows you to post the delivery schedule.
Now what I want is that after making the SA the system should not allow to make delivery schedule if release is not affected.
We also have MRP run at client site..Kindly suggest the procedure as, how to configure it.Are der any User Exit for the same,if so please discuss..
Warm Regards
Nainesh
SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
What's the SA Type that was created via MRP.
If it's LP (without release document), release will not do anything BUT
If it's LPA (release document), then you will not be able to Post the GR until release is affected.
Thanks.
Scheduling Agreement can be categories as
1) LP (without release document) and
2) LPA (with release document)
If use LP, you can do GR without release but with LPA, you need to release the schedule line via ME38.
Thanks.

Long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
Regards and thanks in advance

Hello;
RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.
Oracle 10
Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp.htm#i1006840
http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
Oracle 11
If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

What is your strategy for form validation when using MVC pattern?

This is more of a general discussion topic and will not necessarily have a correct answer. I'm using some of the Flex validator components in order to do form validation, but it seems I'm always coming back to the same issue, which is that in the world of Flex, validation needs to be put in the view components since in order to show error messages you need to set the source property of the validator to an instance of a view component. This again in my case seems to lead to me duplicating the code for setting up my Validators into several views. But, in terms of the MVC pattern, I always thought that data validation should happen in the model, since whether or not a piece of data is valid might be depending on business rules, which again should be stored in the model. Also, this way you'd only need to write the validation rules once for all fields that contain the same type of information in your application.
So my question is, what strategies do you use when validating data and using an MVC framework? Do you create all the validators in the views and just duplicate the validator if the exact same rules are needed in some other view, or do you store the validators in the model and somehow reference them from the views, changing the source properties as needed? Or do you use some completely different strategy for validating forms and showing error messages to the user?

Thanks for your answer, JoshBeall. Just to clarify, you would basically create a subclass of e.g. TextInput and add the validation rules to that? Then you'd use your subclass when you need a textinput with validation?
Anyway, I ended up building sort of my own validation framework. Because the other issue I had with the standard validation was that it relies on inheritance instead of composition. Say I needed a TextInput to both check that it doesn't contain an empty string or just space characters, is between 4 and 100 characters long, and follows a certain pattern (e.g. allows only alphanumerical characters). With the Flex built in validators I would have to create a subclass or my own validator in order to meet all the requirements and if at some point I need another configuration (say just a length and pattern restriction) I would have to create another subclass which duplicates most of the rules, or I would have to build a lot of flags and conditional statements into that one subclass. With the framework I created I can just string together different rules using composition, and the filter classes themselves can be kept very simple since they only need to handle a single condition (check the string length for instance). E.g. below is the rule for my username:
library["user_name"] = new EmptyStringFilter( new StringLengthFilter(4,255, new RegExpFilter(/^[a-z0-9\-@\._]+$/i) ) );
<code>library</code> is a Dictionary that contains all my validation rules, and which resides in the model in a ValidationManager class. The framework calls a method <code>validate</code> on the stored filter references which goes through all the filters, the first filter to fail returns an error message and the validation fails:
(library["user_name"] as IValidationFilter).validate("testuser");
I only need to setup the rule once for each property I want to validate, regardless where in the app the validation needs to happen. The biggest plus of course that I can be sure the same rules are applied every time I need to validate e.g. a username.
The second part of the framework basically relies on Chris Callendar's great ErrorTipManager class and a custom subclass of spark.components.Panel (in my case it seemed like the reasonable place to put the code needed, although perhaps extending Form would be even better). ErrorTipManager allows you to force open a error tooltip on a target component easily. The subclass I've created basically allows me to just extend the class whenever I need a form and pass in an array of inputs that I want to validate in the creationComplete handler:
validatableInputs = [{source:productName, validateAs:"product_name"},
                     {source:unitWeight, validateAs:"unit_weight", dataField:"value"},
               {source:unitsPerBox, validateAs:"units_per_box", dataField:"value"},
                    {source:producer, validateAs:"producer"}];
The final step is to add a focusOut handler on the inputs that I want to validate if I want the validation to happen right away. The handler just calls a validateForm method, which in turn iterates through each of the inputs in the validatableInputs array, passing a reference of the input to a suitable validation rule in the model (a reference to the model has been injected into the view for this).
Having written this down I could probably improve the View side of things a bit, remove the dependency on the Panel component and make the API easier (have the framework wire up more of the boilerplate like adding listeners etc). But for now the code does what it needs to.

What is SAP's strategy for XSI (Express Shipping Interface)?

We are investigating if we can use SAP XSI for parcel tracking with DHL. We like the idea of having an integrated tracking solution that we can call from SO, PO, delivery note and shipment. However, I found information on the internet related to XSI versus UPS telling me UPS is no longer supporting new implementations of SAP. Does somebody know why they stopped supporting XSI? See URL below for all details:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-sd/vtrc-xsi-and-interface-into-ups-3265707
According to this discussion XSI is not the direction SAP is going with transportation in the future. Event Management is the solution for tracking. Their recommendation is to use XML API's from carriers instead like e.g. TrackIT from DHL? Does somebody know whether this information is reliable or not?
Does somebody have information about SAP's strategy for XSI ? Is it worthwhile spending time on configuring XSI for DHL tracking or does somebody have better or other options?
We are aiming for as less custom changes as possible.
kind regards,

Reset Release Strategy for any change in the Purchase Order

Hi,
Is it possible in SAP standards to reset release strategy for even minor changes in the Purchase Order irrespective of whether it is value change or any change in the text or Purchasing group change or whatever it is?
If so, where do we need to make the configurations.
I have seen in some thread about resetting the release strategy for decrease in Purchase Order value.Even that was possible through some BAPI.
Thanks in Advance.
S.Raghavan

hi sandesh,
sorry, i know it's too late.
i tried your suggestion, it works blocking the purchase order after release strategies are setted.
sandesh, raghavan:
i need to reset the strategies after to make any change in the po. i'll appreciate your help if you can give it.

Configuring approval for update of some profile attributes

Hi All,
I need to configure approval when some of the profile attributes are updated.
1. How do i know which attribute is updated?
2. How do i configure approval ?
Thanks in Advance.
Shrinath

The standard strategy for detecting which attribute has been updated is to add a hidden "shadow" attribute for each attribute.
Implementing your scenario turns out to be a bit complex but I think the following approach should work.
To implement your scenario you also need a boolean flag for each attribute kept in a db table or lookup table (not on the USR form). This flag is normally set to false.
When a change comes in the shadow attribute is used to detect which attribute is updated through a post insert event handler (or entity adapter). This adapter sets the flag to true, resets the main attribute to the value kept in the shadow attribute and kicks off the request. The entity adapter always checks the flag as the first step in the flow and if the flag is set the entity adapter does nothing.
This will trigger the event handler but as the two attributes now are identical nothing happens.
When the approval is done either the change is approved or denied.
In the case of approval the provisioning code sets the flag to false and writes the new value to the main attribute, next to the shadow attribute and finally sets the flag.
In case of denied you need to reset the flag to false. Not exactly sure if you can do this as part of the deny workflow or if you would have to create a scheduled task that does this.
A bit complex but should solve your problem.
Hope this helps

Transport strategy for your transport landscape is inconsistent

Hello everybody,
we had 4 system landscape.
DEV>QAS>TST-->PRD.
we move the request from DDEV >QAS>TST and then forward request from TST to PRD system.
Now, we have delete the system TST from TMS, after deletion it give the warning.
Transport strategy for your transport landscape is inconsistent.
Message No. XT481
Please suggest, what is meaning of this warning and how to correct.
Thanks
Ganesh

You need to do following
1. Logon to domain controller client 000 -->STMS --> Overview System --> Select TST --> SAP System --> Delete
2. Reconfigure STMS DEV>QAS>PRD
3.STMS --> Overview Transport Routes --> Configuration --> Distribute and Activate (To All System)
Note : You should do this from Domain Controller client 000
I assumed you know Step 2. If you dont please let me know i can guide you on that as well
Cheers !

Backup strategy for ebs R12?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding to backup strategy for ebs R12.
Let's say that we have one application server and one database server running, and we would like to have a backup periodically for both servers.
This means that we want to have the exactly same backup of configurations and other files for the application server and the database server in case of any fatal crashes in the servers.
I went through some discussion threads and it seems common way is to use RMAN for the data of database and file system copy for application and database servers. But, I would like to know what's the best way or recommended way for the backup strategy for data and server files of Oracle e-business suite.
Do you guys have any suggestion for this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
SH

Hi SH;
I suggest check first our previous discussion
backup and recovery startegy for EBS
Re: Backup System
Backup Policy for EBS can
If you make search you can find many other thread which is mention same question
For your issue basicly what we do
1. For our prod db, if possible we take weekly cold backup(sunday) and take rman backup also daily(full backup, but it depends system you can prefer to take incremental)
2. For our system we take file system backup weekly(OS base)
3. For application we take backup every sunday(for some system 15 days or 30 days period). The most important point here if your system prod, and if you need to apply patch to your system you need to have valid backup and also need backup for after patching
One other important issue is we run preclone sh before take backup for apps and db tier

Implementation strategy for non sap sources

hai friends,
could anyone help with the
'implementation strategy for non sap sources'.

Hi,
Its the same as with R3 sources.Only difference is you'll have different underlying interfaces. Non SAP systems can either be flat files, ETL systems or legacy systems using ETL connection, Oracle or Java systems XML, etc.
But your stategy would remain the same only per your non sap source system, the transactions and the ways you configure your datasources would differ.
