Cost diff. in % for SERVERS on Freeware Linux against whole SAP implementai

Hi One and All,
What is the % of money involved for Servers in comparisn to the complete SAP
implementation cost?
ex.
A company spends 40% on Purchasing SAP Liscence,
20% on Implementation Partner,
20% on Servers ,
5% on PC systems on which Abap programmers and Functional Consultants sits,
15% on Support Project.
1. What actual % of total cost of SAP implementation is spend on SERVERS.
2. If Linux Servers (Freewares like OPEN SUSE or FEDORA or LIKEWISE) are used, how much of money will be reduced, in case the existing servers are Windows?
3. There are 2 identical organizations:
ONE has implemented SAP with database on WINDOWS SERVERS and all SAP systems have Windows OS.
OTHER has implemented SAP with database on LINUX (Available as Freeware in market) Servers and all SAP systems have Linux as OS.
now the Question is:
What will be the difference in MONEY SPEND by above 2 Organizations in PERCENTAGES?

1. What actual % of total cost of SAP implementation is spend on SERVERS.
This depends a) on the servers your buy and b) on the implementation. An implementation of e. g. just FI is less expensive than if you implement more "modules".
2. If Linux Servers (Freewares like OPEN SUSE or FEDORA or LIKEWISE) are used, how much of money will be reduced, in case the existing servers are Windows?
Linux ist not "freeware". There only specific distributions supported (SuSE SLES, Redhat Enterprise Server), especially the ones you you named are not. So you will need to buy an OS and maintenance license for the OS too.
What will be the difference in MONEY SPEND by above 2 Organizations in PERCENTAGES?
We also use Linux everywhere and money (or licenses) were not the reason to use one or the other but rather technical reasons.
The hardware and license costs are usually ony a very small amount of the total implementation costs. How much however, is project specific.
Many people think Windows is "easier" than Unix and use it but I personally think that both are equally "difficult"; one shouldn´t let oneself cheat by having the possibility to "manage the system by clicking"

Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers

Product: Zenworks for Desktops 7Sp1 and Zenworks For Server/TED 7Sp1HP5
Subject: Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers ,
all on Linux
Description: We have an exiting environment with 6 ZfS Servers and now we
brought up a new Server for another location. I configured all same as on
the other Server and the new one created all NAL-Apps at the new location.
But in the Application Site list on the golden App is this Application
missing. So I clicked on the Link up site list on the Distribution Screen
in C1. On ApplicationSite list the App from the new location is missing.
So I removed all and added the new from the new location and now i see all
in the application site list.When I install an app on the client on the
new location NAL is connecting alway th the same (wrong location-server
and i get an msi error 1612 or id=53272 with path=\Wrong serverpath to
file.
I looked on the other tab on C1 at the golden app an I see the backlinks
are going to all other servers without the new one. Software installation
on other locations are ok

Andreas,
I forgot to mention that you can also set the loging level on the Distributor and the Subscriber to 6. to do this at the Zenworks Server Management prompt type "setconsolelevel 6" if you want to capture this to the log file ted.log then use "setfilelevel 6"
Next delete the Distribution from the Subscriber and then re-push the channel.
What we are looking for here in the log is the creation of the object and the linking information about the gold object. it should look like this (not the failure part ;-))) )
In this excerpt you will see the entry
Golden App =
This should be were the link is to
You can check this both ways in the Golden App and in the Distributed Application.
Here is a log from me that shows this info as an example of what you should be looking for.

How set diff. timeouts for entity beans?

How do i set diff. timeouts for diff. entity beans? Is it in the ejb-jar.xml file? Is this refreshed every time it is accesses?

Hi there,
Although not familiar with all of the App servers on the market, I'd say that you are unlikely to find a timeout value for Entity Beans. Passivation of Entity beans is normally a function of the commit options supported by a specific App server. For example, with Commit Option C an entity bean instance should always be returned to the instance pool after a transaction has completed. You can find details of the various commit options in the EJB specification which you can view or download from:

Most cost efficient computer for a server using these specs

I want to know how important processing power and internet connection are when talking in terms of using multiple java socket threads that receive messages from various clients at once..
I need a computer that can hold as many of these threads at once while at the same time I dont want it to be to costly.. For example it sounds like a waste to get a 3Gz processor and a super internet connection when I can likely do practically the same amount of threads with maybe a 2Gz processor and the same internet connection..
So how important are each of these factors? Can anyone suggest a machine that would be able to handle plenty of threads for a nice price? I'm looking for a high Thread/dollar ratio :)....

For chat, maybe not that much. The whole thing is likely to be driven purely by I/O from the users. I mean, the majority of packets sent to/from the thing would be expressing short texts messages typed by humans. Unless you're expecting a large operation, I would expect that this wouldn't be very taxing on your systems. What number of users are you expecting?
Offhand, the thing that glares out of me from your desciption is that you have a single server for pairing people up and (presumably) as a load manager for the chatroom servers. If that server goes down, you're in trouble. If I were you I'd consider adding some redundancy there. Any money might be best spent building up the cluster and making certain that there's plenty of redundancy to go around. For that matter, how many data centers do you have?
It also occurs to me that you might need a lot of disk space, depending on how much logging you want to do and whether you need to do some kind of session recovery after failures. Also are you storing user profiles for matching the people up? Do you have an external database server that you didn't mention? How much redundancy there?
There are services whose job is to hit servers and see what the response time is and whether they're up (they'll page you if they go down). That could be another good use for money, rather than specific hardware upgrades.
Generally it's very difficult to predict this kind of thing in advance, and a good profiling system and an architecture that will let you easily upgrade in response to problems is a good thing. Also lots of testing and load simulation is handy.
Hope this helps.

Diff hardwares for 2 node rac cluster

Hi,
Also you can read tech note below:
*RAC: Frequently Asked Questions [ID 220970.1]*
Can I have different servers in my Oracle RAC? Can they be from different vendors? Can they be different sizes?
Oracle RAC does support a cluster with nodes that have different hardware configurations. An example is a cluster with 3 nodes with 4 CPUs and another node with 6 CPUs. This can easily occur when adding a new node after the cluster has been in production for a while. For this type of configuration, customers must consider some additional features to get the optimal cluster performance. The servers used in the cluster can be from different vendors; this is fully supported as long as they run the same binaries. Since many customers implement Oracle RAC for high availability, you must make sure that your hardware vendor will support the configuration. If you have a failure, will you get support for the hardware configuration?

Item cost not found for one or more items - Inventory Posting

Good Day Mentors,
My user has encountered an error during Inventory Posting and its "Item cost not found for one or more items".
The specific Message ID from SAP's System Message Log is 10001287.
I found a similar post which addresses this error here.
But unfortunately it did not help me solve my user's problem.
I already checked if the items had a defined "Item Cost" in the Item Master Data Inventory Tab, and they all have "Item Cost" defined.
I'm not sure if this will help, but below is the Inventory Audit Report of one of the items that is throwing the "Item cost not found" error.
I am not a business consultant neither am I literate in accounting, so thanks for the patience.
SAP Version: 9.0 PL5
Valuation Method: Moving Average
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Augusto and Raviraj,
I've already verified in our production database the points you made:
- Is the "Manage Item cost per warehouse" selected in the Basic Initialization Screen?
YES
- Is the "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" ticked/checked in the "Inventory Data" tab of the "Item Master Data" screen?
YES
* I apologize for not have been able to give this information upfront.
Anyway, the database only has one warehouse at the moment.
I've checked the items, like the item in the screen shot above, and it does have an item cost.
Below is the screenshot of the sample item from my original post,
Thanks in advance!

Cost Analysis Report - For a range of process orders

Dear all,
Is there a standard report available to get the cost analysis for a range of process order? COR3 --> Go to --> Cost --> Analysis. Here I can see the cost analysis for one report. But I wanted to get the cost analysis report for a range of process orders. Please help.
Thanks
Nagarajan

Dear
You can use cost analysis report like
1.S_ALR_87099932 - Variances Between Costing Runs
2.S_ALR_87099931 - Price vs Cost Estimate
3.S_ALR_87099932 - Variances Between Costing Runs

Adding Cost of Sales for Non-Stock articles to POS Inbound Pricing Schema

Hi guys
I'm working on a requirement to derive the Cost of Sales for non-stock items by pulling the current cost for the site and multiplying it by the billed quantity on VBRP. We could create a new condition type using purchase org, article and site in the condition table and manually enter condition records. However it would be more elegant to copy prices from the Purchasing list or deal prices into new condition types in the POS inbound pricing procedure. However SAP standard doesn't seem to allow condition copying from purchasing to sales.
Regards
Brett

Hi ,
As it happens you need to do this for Non-Stock Articles only.... then you need a routine to do this .
And then in IS -Retail do we not use NETPrice or Final Cost Price to derive the Sales Price ... In that case you get the Cost Price when the Billing doc is getting posted at line level...

Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created? I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS). I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer? I think there probably isn't... If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks so much for your time.

I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

Cost center planning for overhead calculation

Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the cost center planning for overhead calculation.
My scenario is:
There is a service cost center from which a certain percentage I want to allocate to the products as overhead. Now while doing so I have created a cost center and a cost element of type 43 (internal activity allocation). This cost element is the base for overhead calculation. Also I have created one cost element of type 41 (overhead rates). I have defined the credit (of cost sheet) with the cost element of type 41 and the cost center as mentioned.
Now I am facing a problem while planning the cost center with cost element type 43 through KP06.The system is throwing the error message: 'Cost element xxxx can only be used for activity input'. My understanding is we must carry out the planning for the cost center to allocate a certain percentage to the product cost estimate. If I am not allowed to use the cost element of type 43 to plan, what should I use for the planning?
Request your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Since you mentioned catg 43 cost element, I thought you are using Activuty Type
To apply overhead on the product during CK11N, you need not plan any value on the cost center... The values planned in the cost center can not be used as a BASE in your costing sheet....
It goes like this
1. Your cost estimate has BOM + Routing
2. So, the cost elements that you would see during CK11N, can be broadly classified into 3 types
a. Primary cost ele - Material Consumption accounts for BOM components
b. Secondary cost ele (Catg 43) - If you use any actvity type in the routing
c. Secondary cost ele (Catg 41) - These cost elements are parasites... They need some basis to calculate the overhead value... That basis can be either the (a) or (b) above.....
I think, what you are planning to do is Plan Primary cost ele in a cost center and trying to use the same as the Basis.. That wont work!
What you need to do is
a. PLan the values in the cost center, say, 100,000 USD
b. Absorb it on the basis of 2.a or 2.b
If 2.b is not applicable in your case, since you are not using activity types, then 2.a is the Only option left for you
Hope it is clear....

Just bought a new iphone 5, i have an old imac computer OSX 10.5.8 and itune version 10 (updated at great cost last year for iphone4) it dosen't let me restore data... any chance of update or do i have to thow away my computer (and never by Mac again?)

You an use your iPhone without connecting it to a computer.
But the product description for the iPhone clearly states that in order to sync with a Mac you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later. That version of the OSX is usually called Snow Leopard. There are two mo recent versions of OSX. OSX 10.7.x (Lion) and OSX 10.8.x (Mountain Lion).
If you can upgrade your computer to at least Snow Leopard I suggest you do so.

For some reason that link I gave you isn't working right now, but it was today, weird. I would get Tomcat simple because sun uses it in its examples and recommends it. Here's sun's link then, it's probably more useful anyway. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/

FM for Actual cost line items for orders.

HI EXPERTS,
I was working on Actual cost line items for orders / Internal orders of an employee.
standard program RKAEP000 is present through TCODE KOB1.
I want some customization of report, so debugged the program and found that its using a FM 'K_LINE_ITEMS_SELECT_AND_LIST' to calculate internal orders.
But the FM has used REUSE_ALV_* and displaying output itself.
the requirement is to customize the output display .
I searched with K_LINE_* and found some other function modules too.
K_LINE_ITEM_CHECK
K_LINE_ITEM_APC_SIGN_GET
K_LINE_ITEM_GET_CONTEXT_MENU
K_LINE_ITEM_GET_TOOLBAR
K_LINE_ITEM_LOGICAL_KEY_GET
K_LINE_ITEM_TECH_SETTINGS_SET
K_LINE_ITEM_VALUE_TYPES_GET
K_LINE_ITEM_VALUE_TYPES_SET
K_LINE_ITEMS_ACT_GRID
K_LINE_ITEMS_SELECT
K_LINE_ITEMS_SELECT_AND_LIST
K_LINE_ITEM_ACT_CALL_WITH_DATA
K_LINE_ITEM_ACT_DATA_GET
K_LINE_ITEM_CM_CALL_WITH_DATA
K_LINE_ITEM_DEV_CALL_WITH_DATA
K_LINE_ITEM_PLN_CALL_WITH_DATA
K_LINE_ITEM_PROCESS_UCOMM_ACT
K_LINE_ITEM_STEERING_GET
Can anybody tell which FM should i use so that result i will get in an internal table?
or suggest any other methods
Thanks in Advance.
Lucky

I also had the same requirement and used function module K_LINE_ITEM_ACT_DATA_GET
this function is calling K_LINE_ITEMS_SELECT_AND_LIST function with I_NO_DISPLAY parameter
and returning the result.
Already they are in same function group,
I wrote this for future requirements of people after 4 years of this thread

Transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers

Hi,
When I run transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers, all my offsetting accounts (accumulated depreciation accounts) are shown except for the ones for asset classes:
- Buildings
- PC & Small Applications
On the FI side, I can see transactions being posted to their relative accumulated depreciation accounts but I do not see this on the CO side when transaction KSB1 is executed. I have checked the config and the account assignments look correct. Also, the assets created have cost centers assigned to them.
Could you please help!
Thanks,
- Deki

Hi Murali,
I have one depreciation expense account (P/L Account) which is also a cost element.
During depreciation run, the different asset classes are supposed to hit the depreciation account above and their corresponding accumulated depreciation accounts (These are Balance Sheet Accounts and I have separate accounts for each asset class .. ie: Accumulated Depreciation for Furniture and Fixture for asset class Furniture and Fixture).
Now when I run transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers, all my accumulated depreciation accounts are shown except for the ones for these asset classes:
- Buildings
- PC & Small Applications
Any thoughts on why the above aren't showing?
Thanks! I really appreciate your help!
