Copy custom package between local IPS repositories

I seem to be having a problem copying a custom package from one local IPS repository to another. Both repositories are on the same server, but are set with different publisher names.
I used the pkgrecv command like so, to copy the package:
pkgrecv -s http://custom_repo1/ -d http://custom_repo2/ '*'
custom_repo1 only contains 1 package, so the output shows "1/1" items completed (except the GET and SEND colums show zero).
I rebuilt my search index, but I'm not able to search for the newly copied package. However when I run "pkgrepo -s http://custom_repo2/ info" it shows that it contains 1 package from the custom_repo1 publisher and 1 package published as itself (which is correct).
Do I need to republish the copied package in order for it to show up in the search query?

That functionality is not present in Solaris 11 Express. A kludgey way to do it, though, is to remove the package from the repository's pkg directory, then rebuild the catalog. However, the files belonging to the package will still be around in the files directory. They just won't be accessible.

Remove package from local IPS repository

I published a custom package to my local IPS repository, but I would like to remove it. Obviously you can use pkgsend to add to the repository, but I can't seem to find any option to remove packages.
anyone had luck with this? is it even possible?

IPS repositories with "conflicting attributes"

Is there a way to loosen restrictions for directory permissions/ownership for packages from external IPS repositories? It seems that system directory group ownership changed at some point.
For example:
$pfexec pkg install MBLmplayer
Creating Plan /
pkg install: The requested change to the system attempts to install multiple actions
for dir 'usr/lib/pkgconfig' with conflicting attributes:
2 packages deliver 'dir group=bin mode=0755 owner=root path=usr/lib/pkgconfig':
pkg://Multimedia2/[email protected],5.11:20100204T001101Z
pkg://Multimedia2/MBLx264@20100125,5.11:20100204T025624Z
190 packages deliver 'dir group=other mode=0755 owner=root path=usr/lib/pkgconfig', including:
pkg://solaris/codec/[email protected],5.11-0.160:20110228T155222Z
pkg://solaris/codec/[email protected],5.11-0.160:20110228T155229Z
pkg://solaris/codec/[email protected],5.11-0.160:20110228T155234Z
pkg://solaris/codec/[email protected],5.11-0.160:20110228T155243Z
pkg://solaris/communication/im/[email protected],5.11-0.160:20110228T155329Z
......and so on.....

No, the permissions must be consistent, otherwise the system can be unstable. A workaround is to pkgrecv the packages into a local area using the "--raw" option, edit the manifests to have the correct permissions, and then republish to a local repository from which you can do the install. The alternative is to get the original IPS repository author to fix the permissions.

Difference in the Balance between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Curr

Hi,
When i am trying to match the Balances between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency for the Period 8, we are getting the difference, The reconcilliaton Account was changed on 30.08.2010.
Please help Us in tracing the differences between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency.
What could be the possible reasons for the differences..
Thanks

Hi Varshani,
Please use the program/report SAPF070 to compare or reconcile your AR with GL balances. You can use SAPF071 to correct any inconsistencies. Provided below documentation for these programs.
SAPF070 - Compare Documents and Account Transaction Figures
Description
This program compares debit and credit transaction figures in customer, vendor, and G/L accounts with the debit and credit totals from documents posted in the corresponding posting period (accounting reconciliation). The sales totals are also compared for customer and vendor accounts. There is no separate comparison for special G/L transactions.
A comparison for G/L accounts can be made in company code currency and in parallel currencies (such as group currency). A comparison for customer and vendor accounts can only be made in company code currency.
After the program has finished, a message is issued to the user that started the program. This message summarizes the results of the reconciliation.
Output
The program compares the totals of an account on a periodic basis. If the debit and credit total differs between account and documents, the account is printed with the debit and credit totals and the difference.
Differences in G/L accounts are shown per transaction currency. The first line shows the amount in local currency, the second line shows the amounts in transaction currency.
If a document which falls within the selection range is posted during the program run, the program is terminated since a reliable result can no longer be delivered.
SAPF071 - Adjust Balances after Comparing Documents/Transaction Figures
Description
If a financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) shows that there are differences between documents and transaction figures, you can use this program to make an adjustment. The documents form the basis for this adjustment. The program adjusts the (redundant) transaction figures, which are only totals of amounts from documents.
Requirements
All of the following listed requirements must be fulfilled:
1. A financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) must be made, and differences must be found between documents and transaction figures.
2. There must not be any inconsistent documents found. These are listed in both SAPF070 and SAPF190 as well as in this program.
3. There cannot be any problems in the other modules. Caution: You have to check this yourself. Financial Accounting may be correct but the other modules may not be, and this will adversely affect the program run.
4. You can only make the adjustment in the ledgers which are compared by program SAPF070. This is ledger 00 or a user-defined ledger for all parallel local currencies except the group currency. (The program displays these ledgers). You have to adjust any additional ledgers as well as average balance ledgers yourself.
5. No documents during the period in which you are adjusting transaction figures can be archived. Caution: You must ensure that these documents are not archived by establishing appropriate organizational rules and procedures.
Only use this program after consulting with SAP or after checking the prerequisites thoroughly.
You should adjust all differences together for a single company code. By setting the program parameters you can limit the adjustment to G/L currency types or to balances in subledgers.
It is advisable to execute a test run first, which will list any differences that are found.

How do i copy a package to a local volume

I have a mac air and i'm trying to install the iwork dvd onto it via my imac using remote desktop. During install it says I should copy the package to a local volume because it can't be installed from a network volume.

How to remove and then add new version of network driver on Local IPS repo

Hi
I have create a local repo of IPS on my system for solaris 11.1
I have a network driver package ,now i wan to update this new driver in local IPS repo,so while doing installion on client through PXE,i will get this latest driver.
These is some issue with old network driver,so i need to upgrade this driver.
Please let me know the steps
Thanks in advance

If you're needing to use this driver during the installation then you'll need to create a custom AI image as described in the documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E21800/index.html. If you only need this driver post-installation then you just need to add the package (and its repository, assuming it's in a separate repository) to the AI manifest used for the client.

How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped? The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ...
Many thanks,
Gary

Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement. I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image. A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.

Customer Balances in Local Currency
Description
The balances from the following transactions can be issued with the customer balance list:
Standard G/L transactions
Special G/L transactions (per special G/L indicator)
The following figures (for a particular month only) are displayed in local currency:
Balance at period start ( balance carried forward and balance of the periods before the reporting periods)
Debit total for the reporting period
Credit total for the reporting period
Debit or credit balances for the whole period
The following data is issued at the end of the list for each local currency:
Totals per company code
Final total across all company codes
Output and Sort Sequence
You can choose from two sort sequences for the accounts. Sort sequence "1" uses the reconciliation account as the sort criteria whereas sort sequence "2" uses the account number.
With both of these sort sequences you can choose between a standard version and a corporate group version. In the standard version, the accounts are listed per company code. In the corporate group version the company codes are listed per account.
You can use the "Summarization level" parameter to specify whether the data is to be issued in detailed or summarized form.
The following overview shows the relation between
The account sort sequences
The standard or corporate group versions

Unable to save a Z-Tcode in Custom Package,unable to assign a transport Req

Hi all,
I am trying to create a T-code for standard SAP Program RSTXPDFT4. I was able to successfully create a T-code for this report program which has selection screen.
But I created it as a Local Object.
Now I am trying to create another T-code for the same SAP standard program in our custom package used in our company called /ABCDE/FGH01.
But it does not allow me to save the T-code in this custom package and throws an error saying
u201CCustomer Object Z_TCODE cannot be assigned to package /ABCDE/FGH01 u201D.
Why am I unable to save it in a custom package and assign a transport request for it, Is it because I am creating t-code for standard SAP program? If I try to save it as local object I donu2019t get any error and it works perfect. But my actual requirement is to make the object transportable and save in custom package.
Some one please help me with this.

/ABCDE/FGH01 <<< "not a custom package.. custom packages start with Z
/ABCDE/ is a registered namespace, and could very well be customer code. It is not all Y and Z any more.
One thing we noticed when we used a registered namespace was that if your package was in the registered namespace, then your object also had to be. That is, if your tcode starts with Z, your package name must also start with Z. if your package name starts with /ABCDE, the so too must your TCODE. I dont know this to be 100% fact, becuase we no longer use a registered namepsace, i just seem to recall that it was true.
be wary of creating tcodes that start with /, too... the users will always have to put /n or /o in front of them. In general, we really hated using the registered namepsace, and quickly renamed a TON of stuff to get away from it.

Transfer customizing data between SAP System

Hi to all!
How I can transfer PS customizing data between R/3 4.5B and R/3 4.7?
Thanks,
Gianluca

Hi,
Can I suggest a slightly more robust approach? What Andreas is suggesting, is that in fact you should be able to transfer the customising data by doing a standard transport. You can create a transport in your 4.5B system and then it can be physically copied (at the operating system level, for example FTP) to your 4.7 system and then imported.
I think that this is probably the right way to go, but you may have some troubles if the PS system has some changes in 4.7 (as the destination config tables may have different structures to the source tables).
The change I suggest from Andreas is start by using the IMG to generate the transport. If you go to every area of customising that you wish to transfer to the 4.7 system and make a change (save to a change request) then change it back and save, you will make sure that you have every table required to be transferred in your change request. You can then edit the change request (in SE09) and change the keys (by putting an *, rather than the specific data) to ensure you get all the data.
I just feel that given the complexity of configuration tables (and the sheer number of them) it would flow smoother if generated the initial list via the IMG, rather than trying to figure them all out yourself.
After the change request has all the correct entries you will need to release it (to ensure that the object in Unix has all the data from the SAP system). You can then FTP it to the 4.7 system and do an import of the change request (and cross your fingers that you don't get import errors due to config tables changing in 4.7).
Hope that helps,
Brad

How do I mark an recently copied email to the local folders as read?

I have a message filter for a local imap account setup to copy messages to the Local Folders. I do this because the imap account is actually an exchange account with a ton of email and I can't keep all of my email in the main exchange account so I use an exchange online archive which is hidden to thunderbird due to compatibility. Copying to local folders allows archiving and full searching all while keeping keeps thunderbird very fast. Alternatively if I have more than lets say 50,000 emails synced over imap from exchange compatibility things become horrendously slow.
Currently I have a message filter that copies messages from my imap to Local Folders. If I try to mark it read after the move, as in while in Local Folders it does it afterwards and I then miss the message. My goal is to only mark it read in Local Folders.
The problem is if I try to mark the copied message as read it must do it prior to the copy, which ruins my ability to keep track of what I have and have not read yet.
I tried to put another filter under Local Folders that just marks all messages that come into local folders marked as read but it doesn't take unless I run it manually on the folder. My understanding is that this occurs because the copy doesn't happen at the same time messages are synced.
How can I have it so the messages in the local folder are marked as read?

Done some searching and located an addon which is not auto run, but is quicker than writing filters etc. It creates a button/icon to use to mark all emails in selected folder as read.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mark-all-read-button/
'''How to install addon:'''
Download to desktop.
In thunderbird
Tools > Addons
Click on gear wheel icon and select; Install addon from file'
locate the file you downloaded and click on Open
You may need to restart Thunderbird at prompt.
'''Second option:'''
If you do not want another icon to add to toolbar - it does get messy if you keep adding icons :) then there is another method of adding it to the right click drop down context list of folders.
Make hidden files and folders visible;
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In thunderbird
* Help >Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'Show folder' button
* '''Close Thunderbird now - this is important.'''
It will open showing Profile folder name contents.
You will see a 'Mail' and an 'ImapMail' folder plus other stuff.
* Create a new folder called '''chrome''' Note the spelling. It should be in same location as 'Mail' folder.
* Open Notepad
* Copy paste all the section between the two lines below
* save the file as '''userChrome.css''' in the '''chrome '''folder - note all spellings.
then restart thunderbird.
Right click on eg: Local Folder Inbox
you should see an option 'Mark folder read'
<pre>
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
#folderPaneContext-markMailFolderAllRead {
list-style-image: none !important;

Problem running Script in a custome package in BPC

Hello Experts,
I am having an issue running a custom package in BPC 7.0 SP05. Package is to process all dimensions for an application. It runs fine in BI Studio 2008, but gives me login failed error when i run it with BPC. Here is a script i have problem with:
            Dim ExcelCon As String = _
            "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source =" _
            & ExcelPath & ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"
            Dim excelConnection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection = _
            New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ExcelCon)
            excelConnection.Open()
            Dim OleStr As String = "Select * into [ODBC; Driver={SQL Server}; Server=" _
                & ServerName & ";Database=" & DBName & ";Trusted_Connection=True;].[" _
                & InsertedTableName & "] FROM [MEMBERS$];"
            Dim excelCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(OleStr, excelConnection)
            excelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
It's inserting Excel table (dimension members) into SQL Server table.
I'm am running package with BPC admin account (which is sysadmin and local admin).
Is BPC using some Anonymous credentials to execute packages if you don't pass any credentials? I'm not passing any parameters into the package.
I'd appreciate any info...
Thanks,
Akim
P.S. it's a VB.NET script.

Hi
you have to use DM and you can pass parameters or setup global vatiables trough the Global Varialble MODIFYPKG.
Into you VB script you have to use DTS_GLOBALVARIABLE("Nameofvariable").value to be able to get value of global variable.
It is difficult to provide exactly what you have to do but I hope these two information will help you to build your custom package.

Difference between local batch eWay and file eWay

Can someone please explain me the diffrence between local batch eWay and file eWay. And which one is better to use in a large integration project.

Hello,
I recommend you to read the documentation :
The File eWay Intelligent Adapter is a file-based eWay provided with the Sun Java� Composite Application Platform Suite to support sample Projects and to test your Sun Java� Composite Application Platform Suite configuration.
For a more feature-rich solution to processing flat file records, we recommend that you use the Batch eWay Intelligent Adapter. The Batch eWay provides a number of pre- and post-processing features that the File eWay does not offer, including system rename, copy, and delete
operations that you can configure before and after you run a Collaboration, as well as other features such as regular expression matching for filenames.

Creating an executable jar-file including a custom package

I am trying to learn how to create executable jar-files. I have managed this with a single class. However having a class which is an extention of another class which in turn belongs to custom package, I can't make it work.Running the program normally is not a problem. I don't think the problem is the actual code, but I will include it here anyway. I create the jar-file using:
jar -cmf Direkt2b.txt Direkt2b.jar *.class
where Direkt2b.txt is just:
Main-Class: Diriekt2b
Only the main class-file is included this way. Copying the other file to the same directory before creation doesn't help either. There is no error messages, the jar-file just refuses to run no matter what.
The main-class:
import java.awt.*;
import extra.*;
class Direkt2b extends ExtendedFrame {
     Font f;
     Direkt2b() {
          f = new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 24);
          setBackground(Color.yellow);
          setSize(400,150);
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
          g.setFont(f);
          g.setColor(Color.blue);
          g.drawString("V?lkommen till Java Direkt", 45, 100);
     public static void main (String[] arg) {
          Direkt2b d2 = new Direkt2b();
          d2.setVisible(true);
The help-class:
package extra;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ExtendedFrame extends Frame {
     private static boolean first = true;
     private boolean isFirst = first;
     public ExtendedFrame() {
          addWindowListener(theListener);
          first=false;
     WindowAdapter theListener = new WindowAdapter () {
          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
          dispose();
          if (isFirst)
               System.exit(0);
}

My problem wasn't really getting more than one class in a jar-file,
but rather that my jar-file with multiple classes wouldn't execute.
Reading the original post I realized that maybe I was unclear about that.
However I have solved the problem now so for anybody reading this
thread in the future I will tell you how.
The general setting is this: You have a bunch of self-made help-classes
organized in some classdirectory somewhere in the filesystem. You use these
in your programming from time to time. You have set a classpath-varible
in your OS such that Java could find your help-classes.
Now you want to create executable jar-files so that you could publish your work.
My problem was that while I added all needed classes in a jar-file, the main-class
couldn't find the others because they were referenced incorrectly. The solution I
came up with may not be elegant, but it works. I copied the main-class and all directories
(only one in my case) just as they appear in the classpath-directory, to the same temporary
directory. Then I created the jar-file from there, using: jar -cmfv Direkt2b.txt Direkt2b.jar Direkt2b.class extra/*.class
I suspected that incorrect referencing was the problem and I tried several variations on the theme above
before giving up and writing the first post. Part the problem was that I didn't get any error messages,
just an annoying error-sound double-clicking the jar-file. I learned later that you could run jar-files from
the command -prompt using: java -jar myjarfile.jar. This way you get a more useful response.
I guess there is a way to include the classpath instead somehow, but I will use my method for now.
I hope this was helpful to somebody.
