Degree audit cookbook and best practise

At Freie Universität Berlin we started implementing SLCM degree audit for the graduation processes of our study programs and face now the challenge to educate our administrators in usage of the tools to define the appropriate requirement catalogs. We are using Version 6.0 of CM.
Since degree audit is a complex process to be customized and enhanced by BADI implementations and objects (rule containers containing requirements) we asked SAP for documentation usable for training administrators with erperienced SAP-CM-knowlegde in other areas.
It seems that such a documentation does not exist yet, neither in help.sap.com nor in the SND-marketplace, so we are now to ask the highered-BPX-Forum.
We search for general documentation and how-to-Documents (cookbooks) about:
- setting up requirement patterns, requirement catalogs (and versions of them), selectors, filters, figures and performance indices to model the requirements of a given program and anchoring them to the academic structure;
- If there exists a graphic of a "database scheme" which illustrates the dependencies of the objects used in degree audit this would also be helpful.
Can anyone point us to such documentation?
We would also like to be pointed to/share knowledge about:
- best practices in the pragmatics how to compile study regulations into requirement catalogs using the given objects, BADIs and SPRO yielding both: accuracy and maintainability;
- How-tos about enabling enterprise services assignable to business roles or automatic procedures and composable to an example process including
   - the assignment of requirement catalogs to student's study;
   - the creation of requirement profiles for candidates;
   - starting and saving audit runs;
   - propagating their results to internal qualifications;
   - completing degree.

1.Is better use WLC 5.2.193.0 or upgrade to 6.0.196.0?
2. Is it possible use WPA2 + AES + CCKM?
3. Which security setting is best for use for 7921 and fast roaming?

1.Is better use WLC 5.2.193.0 or upgrade to 6.0.196.0?
I never recommend using the 5.X. It's full of bugs.
2. Is it possible use WPA2 + AES + CCKM?
It is. Upgrade the firmware of your 7921/7925 to 1.3.4.
3. Which security setting is best for use for 7921 and fast roaming?
Follow the deployment guide.

[IS-Retail] - IS Retail + Best Practise Installation

Hello all,
I would like to know where i can made a start on installing the IS Retail with Best Practises on my own machine/laptop, which is purely for self-study and understand the basis purpose. I have tried to read a number of document regarding to the IDES Demo, Solution Manager and Best Practise Installation guide in the service market place, but it still got nowhere I can make a start on it.
Highly appreciate if anyone can give me some lights or share your thoughts here. Thanks.
Please forgive me if I ask a silly question here.....
Regards,
Tony

Hi my answers for your qestions as follows
1) In IS Retail Site is a master data, but to create Site/DC/stores need to do some config in SPRO, Like...
Number ranges for Sites, Account groups, create DC and site profiles and assign account groups to them.
then you Create DC or site using WB01, now site master data will consider.
2) yes you should have all Sites in golden client ( i am not clear this questn)
3) After golive better need to create new stores on devleopment in then export (using WBTI/WBTE) to prodcution, in case any future changes requires to do something on stores like assign/delete merch category etc... you can do its easliy to aviod data mismatch in the production.

Degree Audit Callup Point and Structure View of RC's (PIQRULEWB_AC)

Hello,
I have linked a rule container to an academic object (type SC, in this case), via callup point 60 (degree audit). When I am in the structure view looking at this, I notice that the popup text over the callup points icon says "Non-Academic Callup Pnt". I have read a VSR cookbook, and was under the impression that RC's linked to academic objects would have academic callup points. Am I looking at a bug (SAP GUI client 710; server 4.72), or do I have a misunderstanding about the degree audit callup point?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
actually the use of Rule Containers and Callup-Points in Degree Audit is a bit different than how it is used for the academic processes. While you define particular rules like prerequisites using the VSR rule elements for callup points within activities like module booking or admission, in Degree Audit the rules in the rule containers are "collected" to build the audit profile for the student. Also the concept of academic and non-academic callup points does not really apply to the use callup points for audits.
I would not necessarily consider it as a bug that the display shows the callup-point as "non-academic" - however it could be a bit confusing and I suggest that you sent a low priority OSS message such that our development can review whether they could make that a bit clearer to the end-user.
Regards
Joachim

Best practise in SAP BW master data management and transport

Hi sap bw gurus,
I like to know what is the best practise in sap bw master data transport. For example, if I updated my attributes in development, what are the 'required only' bw objects should I transport?
Appreciate advice.
Thank you,
Eric

Hi Vishnu,
Thanks for the reply but that answer may be suitable if I'm implementing a new BW system. What I'm looking for is more on daily operational maintenance and transport (a BW systems that has gone live awhile).

ECC 5.0 and BO without BW/BI Integration Best Practise

Hi,
I know that SAP can connect with BO system using RapidMart (replacing data warehouse BW/BI). Is this best practise?Because when i see the BI Platform RoadMap,I conclude that BI and BO will be integrate into one product, and i'm afraid to invest right now because in the future it seems we need to implement the BW system to make this BI system optimal.
My company want to use BO without implement BW system right now. SAP system that we use right now is ECC 5.0 and my company only upgrade it to next version when version 5.0 not supported again.Thank you.
Cheers,
Satria

Hi Satria,
the answer depends a little bit on what the requirement is.
RapidMarts are an option to implement a data mart solution on top of an ERP solution. On top of the Rapid Marts you can then use the BusinessObjects tools without hitting the OLTP system directly.

Best practises Subversion and Data modeler

hello, i'am looking for some best practises regarding subversion and datamodeler.
A team of 10 analysts create several releases of our product over time.
Within one release you'll find several change requests.
The application itself contains about 700tables so performance is important.
I want to establish a lean working method were analyst can focus on their job - design.
Till now I think to create one trunk containing the db model let's call it v17.00
An analyst could create their designs in separate projects grouped by change request eg CR1234.
When development starts i would compare the trunk model with their change request to generated the alter script.
Afterwards i would import their design CR1234 into the trunk.
Note : it's possible that a change request got cancelled - that's why i opt for a design per change request.
This way of working seems much leaner than the setup of branches and merging.
My opinion, being a novice subversion user, is that setting up branches and merging is "more complex" and might causes frustration for designers.
Anyone having a simular setup or advice ?

Hi Sam,
Let me add my two cents here, when speaking about MAN deployments the name of the game is MPLS, so I guess you are using the same on your Cat 6500s and connecting your customers on 3550s using Vlans.
Regarding your questions:
a) Upgrading Ethernet to L3 for traffic shaping: This is basically done at 3550, so I suppose that's what you intend to do, plus you will be letting Spokes talk to only Hub site, so inter Vlan, atleast between Hub and each spoke will be required, hence inter valn routing. Other way is to configure P2P circuits between Hub site with Vlan mapping (per spoke) and Spoke sites with Port mapping, in this scenario Inter Vlan routing is not a necessity.
b) Security: This depends on what exact architecure you have deployed, in my case I have simply installed a Gateway router with BGP peering with PEs, a separate VRF alongwith redistribution does the trick.
Hope I addresses the query correctly, let me know if that helped..
Cheers

Simple Page Structure with DynNavigation and ContentPages - Best Practise??

Hi ...
actually I am going to develop a simple JSF Application(my first) :-|
Simple Description
User logs in - next View(JSF Page) consists an user(rigths spezific)menu and a content part witch consists of formbased use cases which have to be solved by the application. The parts for its own is not my problem. But how to bring them together ...
Question
I am looking for a best practise Solution for the described problem. Which tag/technology I should use. Is it possible to solve this problem by simple using JSF or am I forced to use MyFaces, Tiles or somthing else ...
I think this is normal use of JSF or am I wrong with that. I am reading several tutorials but did not find a solution for this global / abstract problem.
I hope my "english" is readable :)) thanks in advance

Availability of an Audit Cookbook

Hello,
I am working on setting up the degree audit functionality in CM, and am wondering about the availability of a cookbook for this part of the system. We recently exchanged emails with another university implementing it, and they told us that a cookbook was expected out near the end of this year. Is this correct? If so, any chance that the timetable could be accelerated, if others expressed interest in seeing such a document?
I googled around, and couldn't turn up all that much helpful documentation. Also, I have read through the online documentation available, and I think I have a fairly good grasp of how this part of CM works and is to be setup, but it would be nice to have an actual guide/template with which to refer.
Thank you,
Eric

Eric,
We are still planning this cookbook to be released this quarter. I will accelerate it as much as possible. In the meanwhile, if you have specific queries, you should go ahead and post them. Thanks for your patience.

BEST PRACTISE on users deletions HR/SU01

Hi
we use CUA/SSO.
The records are fed from HR records and sent to Active Directory (AD)
AD brings backs the records and creates/changes users in SU01
A function module populates the CVR (timesheet) parameter dependent on whether you are an employee or a contractor
Occasionally, our HR department request records to be deleted from the SAP Support team - for example if the employee or contractor hasn't in fact joined the company.
Until some time ago, the deletion was causing problems because:
a) the record does not get deleted in AD and there is no way to send the deletion across after
b) when AD tries to reprocess that specific record, LDAP connector will not find it as HR record so what happens in SU01 for some reasons, the VALID from field gets wiped out and the CVR parameter for Timesheet also...
We have changed the process for the deletion however, I would like to ask if you know what is the best practise for this?? HR want to delete the record so it can be re-utilised
I cannot delete those records from UMR unless I am 100% sure they have never used the system (will have to check that)
I hope I have provided enough info on what the issue is..
Thank you
Nadia

Best practice is not to delete.
> HR want to delete the record so it can be re-utilised
So many people with the same name? Perhaps a suffix of 2 numbers when the ID naming convention produces a clash. Besides, do your AD admins not want unique names in the AD as well?
E.g. (just an imperfect example)
MUSTERMA = Alfred MUSTERMan
MUSTERMM = Manfred MUSTERMan
MUSTER01 = Mechtilde MUSTERMuller
> I cannot delete those records from UMR unless I am 100% sure they have never used the system (will have to check that)
Surest way is to determine that they have never logged on before. But that does not exclude that records might exist for them, which may eventually do a "user existence check" to be read. One such example is the Security Audit Log, e.g. there may have been failed login attempts.
Good luck,
Julius

Best practise for SAP users who leave the company

Hi
Could anyone reccommend a best practise document or give advice on how to deal with SAP user ID's when employee's/contractors/consultants leave? I am the basis admin just starting an SAP implementation and we have no dedicated authorisation team at the moment, so I have been asked to look into this :
Currently we set the validity date in SU01 to the termination date.
We chack there are no background jobs scheduled under that user id, if there are, we change the job owner to a valid user (we try to run all background jobs under an admin account).
We do not delete the user as from an audit point of view I believe it restricts information you can report on and there are implications on change documents etc, so best to lock it with validity dates.
Can anyone advise further?
We are running SAP ECC 5.0 on Windows 2003 64 Bit/MS SQL 2000.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Different people will tell you different versions of what they believe is best practice, but in my opinion you are already doing reasonably well.
What I prefer is
1. Lock ID & set validity date.
2. Assign user to user group LEAVER or EXPIRED or something similar (helps with reporting) out of SUIM/S_BCE* reports.
3. Delete role assignment (should you need it, the role assignment will be in the change history docs anyway).
4. Check background jobs & act accordingly.
For ease of getting info I prefer not to delete the ID though plenty of people do.

Any best practise to archive PO's which does not have corresponding invoice

Hello,
As part of initial implementation and conversion, We have a lot of PO's / LTA created but their corresponding invoices were never converted into SAP from legacy system. SAP archiving program tags those as not business complete as the invoice qty does not match with po qty (there are no invoices to start with). Just flagging 'delivery complete and final confirmation' of PO does not help. Anybody ran into similar situation and how did they resolve it? I am reluctant to enhance standard SAP archiving program to bypass those checks and that is my only last option. Any SAP recommended Note / best practise etc would help.
Satyajit Deb

Where is the invoice posted?
was the invoice posted in the legacy system?
Clearance of GR/IR account with MR11 will usually close such POs.

What is the best practise to provide a text file for a Java class in a OSGi bundle in CQ?

This is probably a very basic question so please bear with me.
What is the best way to provide a .txt file to be read by a Java class in a OSGi bundle in CQ 5.5?
I have been able to read a file called "test.txt" that I put in a structure like this /src/resources/<any-sub-folder>/test.txt from my java class at /src/main/java/com/test/mytest/Test.java using the bundle's getResource and getEntry calls but I was not able to use the context.getDataFile. How is this getDataFile method call to be used?
And what if I want to read the file located in another bundle, is it possible? or can I add the file to some repository and then access it - but I am not clear how to do this.
And I would also like to know what is the best practise if I need to provide a large data set in a flat file to be read by a Java class in CQ5.
Please provide detailed steps or point me to a how to guide or other helpful resources as I am a novice.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
VS

As you can read in the OSGi Core specification (section 4.5.2), the getDataFile() method is to read/write a file in the bundle's private persistent area. It cannot be used to read files contained in the bundle. The issue Sham mentions refers to a version of Felix which is not used in CQ.
The methods you mentioned (getResource and getEntry) are appropriate for reading files contained in a bundle.
Reading a file from the repository is done using the JCR API. You can see a blueprint for how to do this by looking at the readFile method in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/2.4.0/jackrabbit-jcr-commons/src/main/java /org/apache/jackrabbit/commons/JcrUtils.java. Unfortunately, this method is not currently usable as it was declared incorrectly (should be a static method, but is an instance method).

Justin

Advice or best practise information about 1 or 2 clients in SAP R/3 DEV

I'm searching for advice or best practise information about clients in a SAP R/3 development system.
Reason for this is that we are up to refresh our SAP R/3 development system and up to now we have two clients on it:
- One customizing/development client without master data, transaction data et cetera
- One local test client with master data, transaction data and so on
One of our developers suggested to only have one client on development, where we could customize, program and test. So that client would be with master data, transaction data et cetera.
What would be your advice or what would be best practise for the development system: 1 client (with data) or 2 clients (one clean customizing and one with data). And what are the most important reasons to do it so.
Maybe there is already some good (SAP) information about this specific subject, but up to now I havenu2019t found it yet.

Maybe I've asked my question too broad. I'll try to narrow it down.
Up to now we always had two clients on our SAP R/3 development system:
- Client 200 - Customizing/development only. No other data in this client
- Client 400 - Local test client with master data and transaction data. New customizing is copied from client 200 to test
The reason for having those two clients are:
- It feels someway good to have a customizing-only client
- We've always done this before
A developer suggested to only have one client in our SAP R/3 development system for the following reason:
- You'll never need to copy the customizing (tr.SCC1) first to be able to test it
- You can work in one client and don't need to login in the other client to test it (for example: ABAP reports)
- For customizing of easy setting (for example producthiërarchie, as we don't test it everytime in client 400) it is possible to forget copying it into client 400 (test client). With one client, you can not forget it
The reasons of this developer seems very valid and up to now we haven't found a convincing/compelling reason to make a good choice for one or two clients.
Please, try to convince us with good reasons to choose for one or two clients.

Experiences on SAP Best Practise packages?

We are considering applying a specific SAP Best Practise package on top of ECC6. It will be a new ECC6 installation.
I have read the BP faq pages http://help.sap.com/bp_bw370/html/faq.htm and read note 1225909 - How to apply SAP Best Practices - and the specific note and the specific installation guide for required Best Practise package.
I understand that applying a BP package is something not that easy but should speed up the implementation process.
If you have been participating in a project that implemented SAP Best Practises on ERP, would you please share your experiences with me.
Here are some topics for discussion:
(BP=SAP Best Practise package)
BP implementation could make constraints to your future EHP or SP upgrades, while BP is tightly linked to certain EHP and SP-level?
SAP support?
Installation process including config steps according BP installation guide is longer than usual, while there can be multiple activation and configuration steps done by others than basis consultants?
BPs are country dependent. What if your application is used multinationally?
What if you later find BP unneccessary?
generate difficulties in the beginning but did considerably speed up reaching the final goal compared to ECC6 without BP.
traps to fall in?
typical issues that basis staff has to notify when preparing/installing a ERP system to be with BP?
positive/negative things
I am not saying above statements are true or false. Just wanted to charge you giving comments.

Hi,
Make sure your web service URL correct in Live Office connection and also in Xcelsius data manager.
Did you check all connection in refresh button proprties? you may try selecting "Refresh after component are Loaded" in Refresh button properties Behavior tab.
I think Xcelsius refresh are serial refresh so it may be possible that first component refresh is still in progress but you are expecting other component to refresh.
Click on "Enable Load Cursor" in data manager's Usage tab, it will give you visibility of refresh. If anything refreshing you will see hour glass.
Cheers
