Creating application patch

Hi all,
We (my team and I) are relatively new in APEX. We start development of one application in APEX for few of our customers and we are in front of two problems:
1. after each milestone we must create patch from development version and apply it onto QA-version and if it's OK - to the production versions (we have separate production version for each of our customers)
2. each of out customers have slightly different requirements (in interface only) and we don't want to have separate development ( and QA) version for each customer.
I need some tips and tricks (opinions and advices) about APEX projects development flow: dev - test - deploy - update and customization ( to achieve most of the differences in GUI with some sort of configuration settings)

Hi Peter
Thank you for confirming what is required!
All the best
Phil

Application patch 29_ Modif. Adjust

Hi,
I am applying application patch SAPKH47029 in my system.
I need some clarifications before confirming adjustments.
1) In the spau tcode, its showing few note numbers with status "can't be implemented" few note numbers with "completely implemented" why its showing like this ?
2) In the spau tcode, its showing some transport requests which are transported to this system under the programs and function groups. why its showing those transport requests?
3) If i confirm adjustments, it will overwrite some objects which are already customized. to prevent this overwriting while applying this application patch, what can i do ?
4) In the modification adjustment help, i am getting the following instructions
   Ask the developers to adjust the modifications for their objects.After the adjustment is completed, the
      developers must release their tasks and inform you. Modifications can be adjusted in any client.
     but i am not getting how they will do the modifications for their objects ?
     and why they need to do the modifications for their objects ?
Regards,
Gayathry.

Before performing the sp's you need to check your SPAU and see what are all the objects lying there for example some notes or fixes for the DD objects or Applications which were not supported with your present sp level so when you go for next level of sp this all modifications or fixes wud/might be bundled together in the next release odf sp so you need to ask the dev team to check for that and ask them to create a new transport request under which they can make or store the changes they want in SPAU once you are done with ur sp's then you need to adjust the SPAU with the help of a developer.

Failed to create application BusinessObjects115.OLAPI.Application.1.

Hi,
I installed BOE ,OLAP,CR -XI, R2 version on a Windows Server 2003 Standard edition machine.
On invoking , OLAP Intelligence, I see an error "Failed to create application BusinessObjects115.OLAPI.Application.1. Detailed error message : Unspecified Error"
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Shabnam

Turns out that I have managed to get access to the above link by other means. For the benefit of anyone else that hits this issue, the details contained in the link are as follows:
--- Begin Details ---
Symptom
Cannot start OLAP Intelligence.
Session launch fails with error(s):
BusinessObjects115.OLAPI.Application.1 could not be created. Error Message Detail: Unspecified error.
Failed to create application CrystalAnalysisOLAP.Application.6. Detail error message: Unspecified error.
Reproducing the Issue
Windows 2003 SP2
Windows Security Update 973507
Business Objects Enterprise XI R2
OLAP Intelligence XI R2
Create an OLAP Intelligence report and publish it to Enterprise environment to make sure that the products work correctly.
     1. Install the Windows Security Update 973507.
     2. After the installation of Windows Security Update 973507, which is installed by Security Bulletin MS09-037
     3. released on September 8th, 2009, OLAP Intelligence gives the error on startup and quits.
        After uninstalling this update OLAP Intelligence starts up again.
     4.
Cause
Dll Entry point cannot be found
Windows Security Update 973507 is installed on Windows 2003 SP2 machine
Resolution
MS KB973507 patch must be removed for OLAP Intelligence to function.
        Microsoft Security Patch KB973507 installation is not always listed in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
     1. Confirm existence of file << atl.dll >>, dated 17th July 2009, under path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\
     2. Also an Uninstall directory called: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB973507$
     3. It is recommended to use the facility: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB973507$\spuninst\spuninst.exe to uninstall the patch.
     4. After a reboot of the server, OLAP Intelligence will work ok.
     5. The reason why the issue will not be fixed is because OLAP Intelligence has reached end-of-life as of XI R2 SP2.
        No new features or new platform support will be added for this product.
        Win 2003 SP2 is not officially supported in BOE XI R2 SP2 and this is the basis on which OLAPI is measured on.
        Upgrading to BOE XI R2 to Win2003 SP2 is fine, however, if you install OLAP Intelligence Designer on such a platform it is not supported.
See Also
Installation order needs to be (for a supported XIR2 SP4 environment):
Full Server install of BO Enterprise XI R2 SP2.
             1. Install OLAP Intelligence XI R2.
             2. Install Service Pack 3.
             3. Install Productivity Pack SP3.
             4. Install Service Pack 4.

How to create a patch with enhancements

Hi all,
I need to create a patch of latest enhancements and deploy that patch in the webconsole. So, I want to know the process or steps of creating a patch .
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi
You dont require the Mobile Component Descriptor file. What this tag says is that Application name and version would be the name of the MCD and the version you would have entered at the time of uploading the file in the web console. This information is also available in the INFO page within the Client Home page. Example for this tag is given below
<PREREQ>
<APPLICATION name="MobileEngine_JSP" version="2514" prefixmatch="true" comparator="greater_equal" />
</PREREQ>
Hope this helps

Implimenting new application patch

Dear All,
Dear All,
We have following setup
SAP ECC 6, Database : Oracle 10g, O/S : HP-UX 11.31
Our application patch level is 14 i.e. SAP_APPL 600 SAPKH60014.
Now patch 15 is also available.
I am new to SAP, whether we have to go for patch 15. There are certain statutory requirements which are included in patch 15.
Will it create any problem in present setup ?
What are the precautions we have to take before implementing application patch ?
Someone has told me that you have to study all notes included in patch 15 relevant to your setup.
So we have to implement patch 15 on TEST MACHINE and we have to check all existing relevant scenario which is working fine.
If this is the case then it takes lots of time of all the team members.
Request you all to please guide us for the same.
Thanks in Advance,
Nirav

Hi,
As you are support pack Sap Appl 14 and you want to go on the SAP APPL 15. So you need to first check that all patches you need to upgrade before applying SAP APPL.
So to implement SAP APPL 15 you have to first import Support Pack SAPKH60014 and SAPKW70020 .When you check you shall find that the two support Pack prequest that i have told also have some prequsit.So you shall have to update the other components also.
As i checked in the service Market place found that we dont have any other patch after SAP APPL15 so as per my think you shall wait for one more release of SAP APPL and then apply this Sap APPL 15.
When you apply A suport pack then it may be possible that some functionality thet was working fine may stop so we need to test all the cenario in the Sandbox system and then implement the support pack in the Production Landscape.
Thanks

Need assistance creating applications with superseedence to uninstall Office 2010, Lync 2010 and then install Office 365 click to run 2013

We are getting ready in a few months to uninstall our locally installed Office 2010 and head to the cloud with Office 365 2013. I have created applications to uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 and then added them to the supersedence tab for Office 365
office 2013 click to run with appv5.
When deploying the office 365 2013 application it does not uninstall office 2010 or lync 2010 with the supersedence. I am able to manually uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 with the command lines I am using in the applications.
The application uninstall for Office 2010 is:
The application uninstall is an exe so I created an application, created a deployment type with the location of our Office 2010 admin point, installation program and uninstall program are set with the same line as I have tried to deploy it separately and
also as a supersedence in the Office 365 application setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config "\\sccmserver\share\Office2010\ProPlus.ww\silentuninstallconfig.xml. The silentuninstallconfig.xml was created from the original config.xml file and edited
to these settings:<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="NO" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
<OptionState Id="ProductFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />
</Configuration>
The detection method is the folder path to see that office 14 exists. When I deploy this the machines finish with success showing this exists, but does not uninstall Office 2010.
running the command line manually mapped to this location on a machine uninstalls office 2010 without issue.
Lync 2010 uninstall:
Lync is an exe so I am using the LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall. The application is in the supersedence tab for Office 365 2013. This never installs. If I create a softare distribution and deploy it on its own it uninstalls without issue.
We are going to use Lync 2013 with our office 365 2013 installation so we need to uninstall this. The detection method for lync is file system folder and the Microsoft lync folder for detection.
MS Office 15 (Office 365) was created with the click to run tool. I can install this with the application I created using the appv5 package created with the click to run tool. The issue is we need Office 2010 and Lync 2010 uninstalled first.
Having both versions of Office installed in test has caused issues where Office 15 365 will not list in add and remove programs and cannot be uninstalled even with the fix it article to remove office 2013.
I have looked at many articles and so far it is not working for us. Any help appreciated to get us to the cloud.
Thanks,
Brit

The applications I have for uninstall of office 2010 and Lync 2010 for some reason do not uninstall. Manually testing the command lines they do. The detection method seems to be hanging things up. On the lync uninstall detection method I have
the setting type of file system, type folder, path c:\program files\ folder name Microsoft Lync.
I highly recommend using something other than a file/folder "exists" detection method. Installers are constantly leaving things behind due to environmental inconsistencies. It may leave files/folders behind with a schedule to delete files on next reboot.
These things are unpredictable and very hard to use. I just use the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Registry location. There you can actually key off the "Product Version" DWORD as well which gives you an even more accurate method
to determine if the application you are trying to deploy (or expect to exist) is truly there. This, of course, being if you are not using an MSI. If you have MSI technology ALWAYS use the product code unless the person writing the MSI chooses to use the same
product code for every version release of their product. In which case, Use the registry method.
As far as getting the supersedence and everything working. You need to start from the basics. Create Applications for all of the apps you want to remove. Make sure they install and uninstall properly (seems like overkill but it isn't that hard). Once you
have working install/uninstall applications then you can easily apply supersedence to your new applications with a setting of Uninstall on the superseded apps you should have no problem getting rid of them. I have done this for numerous things.
For example, I did this with Cisco Jabber to replace older versions of jabber, older versions of cisco unified personal communicator and lync and OSC. All of these replaced versions had to have an Application but once it was in it took two seconds to apply
all the supersedence rules and now I know when I push that software out no matter version is running on any machine it will pull all the old apps off and put the new one on.

I got the problem. it is with DCOM account. I am adding a user in my LAN network, after clicking apply it taking the user in System account not in the domain account. e.g: I logged into my Sys(no: hst-pcs5424) with ABC domain, added a user ns36225 in this domain. During application setup it is looking for DCOM account in hst-pcs5424 account not in my ABC domain. So i need to add a user to the system account that should work without the LAN netwrok. But now my user account won't work with LAN.

Hi,
There seems to issues in the profiles which being created in UCM.
Can you check the Trigger Field which has been configured for the profiles ? If the trigger field has been configured as Type, can you change it to any of the other custom defined Information fields and then create the application.
To access the Trigger Fields navigate to the WCC web console, Administration --> Admin Applets --> Config Manager --> Profiles --> Trigger Field.

Error while running "Create Application" wizard

Hello,
I'm trying to use the "Create Application" wizard (APEX 3.1.0) to generate a report/form application based on a table. When running the last step of the wizard, the process fails with the following info:
ORA-20001: Unable to create modules. ORA-20001: Create pages error. ORA-20001: Unable to create form page. ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_" id="1625410167910413" ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_" id="1625410167910413" has same name as existing application-level item. ORA-0000: normal, successful completion
Unable to create application.
These are the three table columns that seem to be causing the error:
SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_1
SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_2
SZRXSTG_APPL_COLLEGE_STATE_3
From what I can tell, when generating the code, APEX seems to be cutting off the last character from the column names and it's attempting to create multiple items for the same column.
Any ideas on how to work around this?
Thank you,
Teddy
Update:
Seems the reason is because total length of an item name in APEX is 30 chars. My column name is 28 characters, and when the wizard is creating the page items, it prefixes each column name with a "P2_" which pushes the last char off the column name.
As a work around, I just created the report and form pages separately, and chose not to add those three columns to the form page.
Out of curiosity, is this something we can avoid or work around any other way, or will I have to always be wary of my column names in this sense?

Looks like the long column names mess up the wizard. You can create an application on a "similar" table, one with shorter column names. Then edit it the page processes that refer to the column names/table name to refer to the real table name and column names.

How to create application log in SAP

According to my reqirement,I need to display messages in the application log whenever some updation is done.
How to do create application log and display messages in the application log.

Hello Smriti
If you have interface IF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST available on your system then I highly recommend to use as message collector.
When you create an instance of the interface (CF_RECA_MESSAGE_LIST=>CREATE) you can provide an application log object.
The collected messages can easily be saved as log.
For an example have a look at my Wiki posting [Message Handling - Finding the Needle in the Haystack|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/2007/07/09/MessageHandling-FindingtheNeedleintheHaystack]

Go back to the Create button, it now works
But if you log out and log back in, the Create button is disabled again
