Dataflow targets for SAP BW Datasource have different names in Dev/QA/PRD

I am using BODI to load from flat file into a SAP BW Datasource.
All is working fine in Development and I have transported my BW development to the QA environment.
In QA my loads don't work anymore.
The reason is that BODI refers to the 'Transfer Structure' of my data sources in BW.
These Transfer Structures have a different suffix in each SAP system (DEV, QA, PROD).
To have different suffixes for Transfer Structures is a standard SAP BW behaviour.
I was expecting SAP would use the unique combination Source System / Datasource as identifier for the target of a dataflow, not transfer structure.
I assume there is a work around for this, but I can not think of anything except either
- reconfigure the SAP BW implementation or
- re-develop my BODI DF's for each environment
Both options are high risk and will take a lot of extra work.
I have raised a SAP service message, because I think this is not working correctly, but I was wondering if anybody has dealt with this and knows an easy work-around?
Many thanks for your suggestions,
Jan.

THe only tricky thing is the configuration of the BW publisher. But you can find enough information about this in the referenced posting. The rest of the installation configuration is the same as when integrating a single SAP BW system with BOBJ. Ingo has created the following blo, which can guide you through this:

HT4859 How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Why do the .default profile folders in XP and 7 have different names?

I am a new user of SugarSync online backup that synchronizes folders between computers. My XP has a Firefox profile folder wjfvu1mr.default, and Window 7 has a profile folder 6fogozjd.default. Both systems use Firefox 4.0. I cannot sync these folders between systems because they have different names. Any ideas so I can use SugarSync? Rename on of thee .default folders?
BTW. I would like to use SugarSync to do this but what about Firefox Sync? I know nothing about how that works.

Profile folders are named randomly for your security. However, you should be able to change the name if you like. I have not tested this procedure, so you might want to wait for further input.
First, make a backup: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, with Firefox closed, rename your profile folder.
Then, navigate up to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox and edit the path in profiles.ini to match the new folder name.
Regarding Firefox Sync, since it works with desktops and mobile, I don't think it relies on profile names to match up. But Firefox Sync is a very young offering and may not have the full functionality of SugarSync.

Possible to have different names on one account?

Is it possible to have my account name different from the name on the registered credit card? My mother is allowing me to use her credit card for my Apple ID but on things like the iCloud it shows her name, since that's the name on the credit card. So, is there a way for me to have my name as the main account?

No.

SAP Printing requirment on the fresh landscape (DEV,QAS,PRD)

Hi BASIS Guru,
I am new in BASIS(ECC 6.0), I want to configure printers for SAP pirnting. Opreating system we are using on my site is RHEL-5. I am not sure on how to start configuring multiple printer on SAP. Please provide me some information for the same.
I am already reading through help.sap.com, but it is too vast and it is confusing me.
Thanks in advance ,
Yogendra

Hi, Printing can be configured using the using the Tcode SPAD in basis for spool administration.There is mainly three types of configuring printing in SAP basically they are local , remote and frontend printing.Local printing is used when The operating system spooler runs on the same host as the R/3 spool work process.When using remote printing, an R/3 spool work process passes the print-ready output stream to the
operating system spooler on a different host.
Frontend printing allows R/3 users to send output to printers that are defined on their local frontend PCs (access method F). For local printing Windows NT API (access method C) and Unix based system access method L.For frontend PCs (access method F). If you are satisfied with my answer mark me.If your are not knowing the device driver of your printer you can use the swine device type.

SAP Query Creation - Where to do? Dev or Prd

HI,
We have a two system landscape as DEV and PRD.
We want some query to be generated in PRD. So whether we have to create in DEV and then transport the report to PRD or Can i directly create query in PRD and then assign one transaction code for that?
Is there any drawback in creating Queries in PRD directly?
Please give a idea about queries.
Regards,
Lijo Joseph
Message was edited by: Linda Bortolus (just to mark the post as a question)

Hi Lijo,
That is precisely what I had in mind when I said that "....the SAP Query, in general, is only used to SELECT the data..." !!
Though the purpose of the coding section is only to enhance / customize the display, there's nothing to prevent a DELETE / MODIFY statement in there.
If you think that there is a chance that someone might access the query in the production system in change mode, then you have a major risk. But I think it is not a problem to prevent access to SQ02 in the production system. But then, the developer who writes the query (I guess that's you in this case ) should also exercise extreme caution in handling this part. NEVER use any DML statements here (DELETE / MODIFY / UPDATE).
Hope this information has been useful.

Anand Mandalika.

Multiclip on FCP 7 with timecode: multiple files for the same camera have different Angle

I have FCStudio 7 with OS 10.6.8
I just filmed a concert with 6 cameras (Sony XDCAM). They are all timecode sync'd.
For various reasons there are multiple vid files for each camera (i.e. 172_003 thru 172_006 for camera 1).
I imported into FCP 7 using SonyXDCAM plug in with no problems. Each camera file group was given its camera number as the Reel Name (i.e. Camera 1) and that camera's number as its Angle Name (i.e. 1).
Now when I try and create a multiclip using all six cameras, instead of keeping all the files for a specific camera under a single angle name it treats each file as its own camera angle. It treats each file as an individual camera instead of having the files flow as a single clip from a single camera based on their timecode. In viewer I have 8 different angles for a single camera (because of 8 files). In the make media window for multiclip, the Angle Name is different for each clip but its position is still aligned to its timecode.
I worked the same project last year and the multiple files for each camera lined up fine, based on its timecode value and camera/reel name. I can't see what has changed.
I need each camera's files to sync under that camera Angle Name, and for the files to play in the same angle spot in viewer.
All advice welcomed as I'm in a major time crunch to complete the job.
Thanks.

Well why not just prebuild each angle in its own sequence with sequence timecode matching the source timecode? Export with current settings and import these files back into fcp and then create your multiclip.

Creating Logic and modeling for SAP BW datasource in SAP HANA views and SLT

Hi to all,
I have small question.
We have BW system and SAP ECC as source system and to get data from SAP ECC source system we are using SAP ECC Standard data source.
Now we required to, create modeling in SAP HANA by use of HANA View and get data from SAP ECC source table via SLT.
So we can replicate same modeling,as we done in SAP BW system.
But my question is that, as SAP ECC standard data source hit multiple table and do run-time calculation, before sending to SAP BI.
How we can derives such calculation and logic, in our HANA studio, because as we know in SLT data transformation can be done in limited way also
in view we can not drive such logic via SQL script ?.
Is there any way we can do such modeling and logic in SAP HANA ?
or
is there any standard document for this type of case, which we can use ?
Note: We don't want to use SAP DS or DXC for data loading to HANA, as we want it in more real time.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Thanks for reply,
As SLT is based on ABAP, so we can write complex logic in it.
But if we talk about SAP ECC standard data source, they have complex logic, based on multiple table.
So we need to write code from scratch in SLT to derive same result. but it will be huge time consuming , and required good ABAP skills, also it will lead to bug in code.
Also it will reduce the real time performance of SLT, due to complex logic.
Second option is procedure via SQL script, which is again huge effort in term if logic and can lead to error/bug in logic.
Does we have any other way or architecture to do this is very simple way, with high performance and less error issue.

My new Ipad mini has the same name as my old Ipad. Now Itunes will not recognize either Ipad. Do I need to reset both or just the new one? How do I get them to have different names?

My new Ipad named itself the same as my old Ipad. Now neither will be recognized in Itunes. Should I reset new Ipad to factory settings and start over? How do I name it what I want?

To rename them go to Settings>General>About>Name.
Don't start all over again. There are solutions for devices that are not being seen in iTunes. Try those suggestions first.

Portal on different DB fro DEV/QA/PRD?

Hello,
We are planning for installation of NW2004s Portal in a clustered environment. We would like to have our DEV server on "SQL server" Database and QA & PROD on "Oracle" Database, is it possible? Will there be any problems while transporting the contents or moving contents form DEV->QA->PROD?
Regards
Sunil Kulkarni
PS: Rewarding points will be given for helpful answer.

Thanks Michael, we will be using standard portal content only. In case we plan to go for some custom code, we will make sure that, it is not database dependent.

Details of SAP Certification Cost in different countries

This is Vijay. i had a strong work experience in SAP ECC6 FI as END USER, planning to do SAP FI CERTIFICATION in Dubai / Singapore, can I enroll only for the exam without enrolling for classroom/online training, as I am good enough with the subject and where it cost less to take exam.
Appreciate it if you can help me in this regard.

Hi Vijay,
With regards to the email, enclosed below the detailed explanation on the SAP - Certification for Associate.
The rules of registering for SAP certification are considerably different in the countries located in Asia-Pacific region that includes India. This difference is important and has to be discussed in more details because it directly influences the overall cost of becoming a certified SAP specialist.
To appear for the associate level certification without attending any SAP course you need a minimum of 1 (one) year of SAP implementation experience or 2 (two) years of support experience with a minimum of 6 (six) months experience in the module and version of SAP in which you are going to get certified.
The last year of your work experience should be with your present employer.
Your present employer should be either a customer or a partner of SAP.
Enclosed below the are the fees structures for different regions as per the link provided below:
SAP Certification Cost, SAP Certification Fees - SAP Certification
Country
Registration Fee
Other Expenses
Australia
560 AUD
No special requirements.
Canada
500 CAD
No special requirements.
Egypt
400 USD
Please read our post about SAP certification in Middle East and North Africa.
France
400 EUR
No special requirements.
Germany
400 EUR
No special requirements.
India
40000 INR
If you do not fulfill the requirements related to the previous work experience, you have to additionally pay for a training course from an authorized SAP training provider.
Russia
400 EUR
No special requirements.
Singapore
795 SGD
No special requirements.
South Africa
3900 ZAR
No special requirements.
Spain

Please read our post about SAP certification in Middle East and North Africa.
UK and Ireland
350 GBP
No special requirements.
USA
500 USD
No special requirements.
But getting a slot to write the exam in Dubai is easy and the cost is $400 to appear for Associate. If you are still working for the same company in SAP - FI then i think it should not be a problem for you to write the exam without any training.
Wish you good luck and I hope it solves your purpose.
Cheers

Oracle AS Adapter for SAP R/3

Hello everyone.
I have some questions abuot the Oracle AS Adabter for SAP.
I have to get values out of miniSAP and integrate them in a BPEL Process. In SAP there is a function to generate a Webservice out of a BAPI for example! This Web Service I want to include in a bpel process. This is the way I try it till now!!!!
Now I read an article about the Adapter.
Is the task i explained abouve possible to do it with the adapter?
If yes, Can I include every BAPI in a bpel process with the adapter?
What are the prerequisites I need for the adapter? I have installed an Infrastructure, a Middle Tier (Portal) and the BPEL process manager.
Thanks a lot

Thank you veyr much Manoj for your reply. I just tried it now buit no fruits.
I wonder if it can really be due to privileges given to my account, which allows to connect thru SAP Front-end but does not allow to connect by any other means. I can not think of any other possible reason.

Have you any cluster script ( HACMP Cluster script for SAP ECC 6.0 ) ?
Thanks & Regards,

Hello, I'm doing a "Plant ECC6 to do a test disatre / Recovery.
During the installation, I would use the same <sidadm> existing as it is in the PRD.
If I tell you to install it during the same <sidadm> it will overwrite what already exists, or do I just enter the password of existing <sidadm>?
