Detailed IP SLA information

Hello - I am trying to find some detailed information on IP SLA probes. We are implementing udp jitter probes in our network, but I am curious about what constitutes a test failure. Considering the default test parameters (10 packets, 10 bytes, spaced 10ms each 60 seconds) what does the test consider to be a failure? Is it based on the connection, number of packets received back, or are there other parameters?
Is there any documentation anywhere that details this?
thanks,
Alex

appreciate the response Sathvik. Maybe I asked incorrectly. What does ip sla consider a failed test? Is it as simple as no connection to the testing point? If that is the case, then everything else would be displayed in the sh ip sla statistics command. I could not find anything in the configuration documentation that stated what a test failure was, or could be a result of.

Approval in SSHR for Basic Details in Personal Information

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement for Approvals by Human Resource Analyst when the employee changes his name.I have Implemented this by
Changing the HR_APPROVAL_REQ_FLAG to Yes Dynamic in the Review page of the Process Basic Details Function Workflow(HRSSA).
I have also created a Approval Group in AME and attached the Transaction Type Oracle Self Service Human Resources.
This works as intended.
We need approvals when an Employee changes his name only but on the Basic Details in Personal Information , employee can change his Marital Status also.
Now the Process is Requiring Approvals when the employee changes his maritial status.We want to send a notification when when the employee changes marital status and no need of approval.
Anybody has any idea how to accomplish this one ?.
btw I tried to create a AME attribute to check only for name change and attached to the Rule but its not sending the notifications and also the work flow process
is not completing .
Thanks,

I suggest running through your setup again and double-checking each part, as I have had this working before.
For clarity, I normally duplicate all the standard workflow processes, form functions, and create a new AME Transaction Type when customizing SSHR approvals e.g.

HR_PROCESS_BASIC_DET_JSP_PRC --> XX_PROCESS_BASIC_DET_JSP_PRC (place inside XX_PERSONAL_INFO_JSP_PRC as a subprocess)

TalentFramework module - Position Details Panel General Information

Dear Nakisa Experts,
TalentFramework module
I would like to know in Position Details Panel > General Information.
May I know how:
1. to make field Org Unit field data unclickable.
2. to enable additional fields Cost Centre and Qualification/Experience
Please specify which folder and file need to be configure in Nakisa.
Hope you guys could help me on this.
Regards,
Andi Rossi

Hi Andi,
1. The Position Details Panel does not have OrgUnit listed on it.
2. To achieve this you need to follow this procedure in the AdminConsole:
a. Create a new function in the AdminConsole in Application-wide Settings > Data Center > Edit/Create new data element joining multiple SAP Tables
b. Navigate to Job Architecture module > Positions > Details Designer
c. Select Create Linked Detail
d. Enter a name, select SAPPositionDetailsConfiguration, select the data element you created in step a and then map the fields to link them together (usually ID and the key field from your new data element, possibly OBJID)
e. Add a section in the details panel using your new linked details and au voila!
All of this should be documented in the Admin guide in the Root\Documentation folder.
Good luck!

Detailed electrical specs information for Aud

I'm looking for more detailed electrical specification information for some SoundBlaster products
(like 2ZS Platinun Pro), such as noise, distortion, maximum output level, input impedance of varous line-ins etc..
What is the quickest way to search for specific SB product info? It seems like the support.creative.com
approach requires you to drill down first to the product of interest.

Thanks for the quick response. I had already looked at that site, and it contains some
spec. information, but is missing information like input impedance, maximum input levels etc.
I remember receiving that info for one product?(2ZS Notebook) from Creative Dev support but
was hoping that these specs would be posted to one of their sites.

Displayed data in User Details vs. Information entered in User Profile

Hello All,
I am running Portal 7.0 SPS13.
In my Users Profile tab "Additional Information" I entered:
Organizational Unit: NIS
Position: Consultant
Department: <is greyed-out / not editable>
In my Users Details tab "Company" I only see:
Job Title: Consultant
My Questions are:
1) Why do I only see the Information from "Position"
2) The greyed out field "Department" is not filled (I guess at this point that it gets filled with the department information from the MS ADS (LDAP). But it's not. Whoever the telephone information from the MS ADS is transferred to the regarding UME fields
Thank you in advance for your help and hints.

How to find the detailes of what information exatcly is extracted?

I would like to know in detail what information is being extracted (and hence migrated) by iSetup.
I was able to find the list of objects used in the Selection set. For example, I can choose to migrate profile options, but It does not migrate every single profile, so is there a place were I can see the list of all profiles being collected? (and similar for the other templates/objects ?
Thanks

1) Use Offline Transformation capability of Setup Manager which provides spread sheet view of extract data.
2) Create standard reports on extracted data. The output format can be chosen to pdf, rtf or excel.

Details page : no information display.

Hi all,
I'm new on OA F. so started with the tutorials exercises.
At the end of exercise "Drilldown to Details", my page didn't look like expected.
I should have a link to display details of an employee.
I do have a link, it does got me to the details page, BUT there is no informations display face to the prompt of each properties.
I do compile properly so there is no log.
I tried to use the debug mode but it seems to me that I am not going into the method "intiDetails()" at the right time.
When I click on the link, I expect to enter the method but I don't.
(I do when I start the "debug EmpDetailsPG.xml" command on jDev)
I checked I have correctly written the parameters in the property "Destination URL" of the component used for the link :
OA.jsp?page=/mfab/oracle/apps/ak/employee/webui/EmpDetailsPG&employeeNumber={@EmployeeId}&employeeName={@EmployeeName}&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y
I compared with the solution given in LabSolutions project but I didn't find my mistake.
Does this kind of problem rings any bell to you ?
Cheers,
Marine

Hi AJ,
Thanks for your answer. I hadn't thought of using S.O.P. ... I gave up a while ago this habit and became used to IDE debuggers.
So, I tried your trick but I had the same problem : I didn't reached the processRequest() of my controller when I clicked the detail's link.
I had the thought to check whether or not a controller was specified for my EmpDetailPG. Indeed, there was not.
I tried to add EmployeeDetailsCO as the controller class in "MainRN" wich is the messageComponentLayout of the pageLayout of EmpDetailPG.
At that time, I was able to see my values on the console (which is an improvement !) but I had a technical error in my page.
So I defined the controller class not in MainRN but in PageLayoutRN (which is the pageLayout of EmpDetailPG, as you may guessed) and it dit it !
I don't know why it should be define in the pageLayout instead of messageComponentLayout, but it's working.
Thanks again.
Marine

Mapping Master/Detail type of information in a PDF form

Hi there,
I have a Web Dynpro Application and I am experiencing some difficulties in mapping the Web Dynpro Context to the PDF form to get the desired result. I hope you smart people can help me.
In the Web Dynpro Context I have the following structure:
- DataSource
Customer (0..n)
Name
Address (0..1)
some attributes like Street, City, etc.
Orders (0..n)
some attributes like description, amount, etc
On the PDF form I want to generate 1 PDF that displays all the order details for all the customers.
In other words a high-level layout for the PDF would be:
Heading
Customer 1
-- Name and Address
-- All Orders
Customer 2
-- Name and Address
-- All Orders
Customer n
-- Name and Address
-- All Orders
By using a SubForm and binding the context I can easily repeat the display of all Customers, but I cannot manage to display all the orders for just a specific Customer.
I believe that I am just not finding how to setup the binding for the PDF elements correctly. If I just drag-n-drop the Order elements onto the form I get a binding in the PDF form of $record.Customer[].Orders[].amount. This does not seem to be correct.
Can any one help me with a solution to my problem? Any advice or a more advanced tutorial than the ones I've found will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Albertus

Hello,
Unfortunately I get an exception on the Orders Subform when I try that.
The error message is "The SOM expression 'Orders[*]' for the dataRef specified on field 'Orders', resolved to an incompatible node value of 'dataValue'.
I followed the tutorial "Unit: Interactive Forms Integration into Web Dynpro for
Java, Topic: Dynamically generated forms" that suggested nesting Subforms. The structure I currently have:
Customer SubForm -> Type: Flow Content, Flow Direction: Table
|--- Customer Row SubForm -> Type: Position Content, Binding: $record.Customer[*], Repeat for Each Data Item
Up to here it works and it repeats for all Customers, but the next subform is the problem. After your reply I set it up as follows:
 |--- Orders Subform -> Type: Position Content, Binding: Orders[*]
 |--- Description -> Binding: Description
But I then get the exception above. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Albertus

hi all.
SAP Tickets - What Is That?
Handling tickets is called Issue Tracking system. The errors or bugs forwarded by the end user to the support team are prioritized under three seviority High, Medium and Low. Each and every seviority as got its time limits before that we have to fix the error.
The main job of the supporting consultant is to provide assistance on line to the customer or the organisation where SAP is already implemented for which the person should be very strong in the subject and the process which are implemented in SAP at the client side to understand,to analyse,to actuate and to give the right solution in right time.This is the job of the support consultant.
The issues or the tickets(problems) which are arised is taken care of on priority basis by the support team consultants.
The work process in support projects are given below for your reference.
1. The customer or the end user logs a call through any tool or by mail (RADIX).
2. Each one of the support team is a part of support group.
3. Whenever a customer logs a call he /she has to mention to which work group (by name).
4. Once the calls came to the work group the support consultant or the team need to send an IR (Initial Response) to the user depending upon the priority of the calls. (Top,High,Med,Low,None)
5. Then the error is fixed, debugged by the support consultant or the team. Then after testing properly by generating TR(Transport Request through the basis admin)
6. Then it is informed to the end user/customer/super user about the changes which have moved to the production server by CTS process.
These are the process. In summary, what I understand is that if any configuration or customization is required to solve the issue, then the consultant have to work on DEV Client, then the end user will test it in the QA client and after approval the BASIS consultant has to transport it to the PRODUCTION client.
An example:
Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company faces while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after the implementation of the project. There can be numerous problems which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.
To begin with, we should give "TICKET" to you for not knowing it.
Here is an eg of a ticket raise:
End user is not able to
1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant, since shipping point determination is not happened . ( Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below:
1. Low 2. Medium 3. High.
Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.
Finally, you request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION. Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed. What I have given is a small example. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support.
What Is Maintaining SLA - Service Level Agreement
What is maintaining SLA in production support?
SLA is an abbreviation for "Service Level Agreement". It means to have guaranteed reaction or resolving times for incidents (= trouble tickets).
For instance you could have defined the following SLA levels For example:
Gold: Reaction time = 30 minutes, resolving time = 4 hours
Silver: Reaction time = 4 hours, resolving time = 24 hours
SLAs normally are part of a contract between a customer and a service provider.
Or in details description:
SLA are Service Level Agreements to resolve the tickets by the market. SLA means Service Level agreement. It is the service agreement between a Company and a service provider. For example an IT Organization providing support of SAP / other software / hardware has a agreement. This can be for example categorized based on criticality of the incident. High priority incident has to be resolved on 10 hours. Medium priority incident has a 3 days time to resolve etc
SLA's are nothing but Service level agreements.
These are defined in project preparation phase and client would have made an agreement with the company for the level of service. The SLA's are applicable in Production as well as maintanence support projects. For example: if your company follows a ticketing process(a ticket is nothing but an environment contains complete description of the problem which contains Short description, problem, customer contact details, sreen shots of the error etxc.,) and for each ticket there will be a severity for example business critical issues or problems may be treated as high or top severitie's. In those case your company or your team has to deliver the solution to the customer in agreed time limit or otherwise you might end up missing SLA's.
SLA's has two important time specifications
1. IPRT --- initial problem response time --- this is nothing but time taken to respond to the problem.
2. PRT --- Problem response time -
this is nothing but time taken to solve the issue or problem.
Both IPRT and PRT will be different for different severitie's.
What Are Functional Specification in SAP?
To speak at macro level that is at projet manager or at senior levels. The Functional Spec (Specification) which is a comprehensive document is created after the (SRS) Software Requirements Document. It provides more details on selected items originally described in the Software Requirements Template. Elsewhre organizations combine these two documents into a single document.
The Functional Specification describes the features of the desired functinality.. It describes the product's features as seen by the stake holders,and contains the technical information and the data needed for the design and developement.
The Functional Specification defines what the functionality will be of a particulat area that is to be precise a transaction in SAP terminology.
The Functional Specification document to create a detailed design document that explains in detail how the software will be designed and developed.
The functional specification translates the Software Requirements template into a technical description which
a) Ensures that the product feature requirements are correctly understood before moving into the next step, that is detchnical developement process.
b) Clearly and unambiguously provides all the information necessary for the technical consultants to develop the objects.
At the consultant level the functional spects are preapred by functinal consultants on any functionality for the purpose of getting the same functinality designed by the technical pepole as most of the times the functionalities according to the requirements of the clients are not available on ready made basis.
Let me throw some light on documentation which is prepared before and in a project:
1) Templates
2) Heat Analysis -
3) Fit Gap or Gap Analysis
4) Business Process Design
5) Business Process Model
6) Business Change & Impact
7) Configuration Design, which is just 5 % of Total SAP- have different names -
8) Future Impact & Change Assessement
9) Functional Design (Module Wise)
10) Risk Assessement
11) Process Metrics and Many More-- Which has impact on Business and its work flow
Note * This documents are preapared in Vanilla SAP Standards -- Things differ from one implementation to another, and it always depends on the type of business which is opting for SAP
Role of a mySAP Functional Consultant
What are the differences between a functional and business consultant?
The difference between Functional consultant and Business consultant are as follows:
1) A funcitonal consultant is able to configure the system unlike business consultant.
2) Functional consultant know more about business process unlike Business consultant.
3) A business consultant will bring business process knowledge and provide it to functional consultant who in turn used this knowledge to configure the system.
4) Functional consultant has more configuration knolwledge then Business consultant. *-- Rocky
The responsibilities of a support consultant are:
- Primarily responsible for Handling tickets and application support to the endusers
- When an issue comes diagnose, analyse and solve the issue
- Responsible for any enhancements
- Writing functional specs and interacting with Abapers to develop any user exits
- Training the end users and preparing end user training material *-- Sistla
For those who wished to know the role of a functional consultant. Below is one view:
A functional consultant evaluates the demands in talking with the customer's representatives, transforms the essence into an abstract and algorithmic business model. Hence, he identifies the use cases and transforms them into logical and technical views.
Then the main task starts: customizing the respective business area and making sure the system reacts in the manner according to the constraints of the requested use case.
The consultant documents the settings and prepares proper guidelines that allow other consultants to do further changes or repairs with due efforts.
The consultant takes care that proper training is given to the users and that the system is usable, performing appropriately and the business flow is complete and correct.
During go live he assists the technical staff by testing the behaviour of the system.
After go live he guarantees that the procedures remain usable and consistent in real live situation and proposes enhancements.
The main duty of a consultant is to transfer external know-how to the client. It is not manpower that counts but intelligence, understanding of processes, a feeling for defects and general a common sense
Role of SAP Consultant In Testing
1. What is the role of SD Consultant in Testing while implementing the project?
2. What is Unit testing and Integration Testing?
Testing : the core team members along with endusers will test whether the postings done in SAP is resulting as per the requirements of the organisation. They will test whether the output documents such as purchase order, invoice document are printed in the required format and showing the correct data.
Unit testing is refer to the module which are going to implement. SD, MM, FICO etc. there will be test script based on that testing will be performed.
Integration testing will be cross the modules. MM-SD-FICO for example. Integration testing is also called SIT ( System integration testing)
Testing mathologies and types: there are 6 types of testings:
1. Unit Testing
2. System Testing
3. System Integration security Testing
4. Performance Testing
5. User Acceptance testing
6. Regression Testing
Unit testing is done in bit and pieces. Like e.g. in SD standard order cycle; we do have 1-create order, then 2-delivery, then 3-transfer order, then 4-PGI and then 5-Invoice. So we will be testing 1,2,3,4 and 5 seperately alone one by one using test cases and test data. We will not be looking and checking/testing any integration between order and delivery; delivery and TO; TO and PGI and then invoice.
Whrereas System testing you will be testing the full cycle with it's integration, and you will be testing using test cases which give a full cyclic test from order to invoice.
Security testing you will be testing different roles and functionalities and will check and signoff.
Performance testing is refered to as how much time / second will take to perform some actions, like e.g. PGI. If BPP defination says 5 seconds for PGI then it should be 5 and not 6 second. Usually it is done using software.
Regression testing is reffered to a test which verfies that some new configuration doesnot adversly impact existing functionality. This will be done on each phase of testing.
User Acceptance Testing: Refers to Customer testing. The UAT will be performed through the execution of predefined business scenarios, which combine various business processes. The user test model is comprised of a sub-set of system integration test cases.
We use different software during testing. Most commonly use are
Test Director: which is used to record requirement, preparing test plan and then recording the progress. We will be incorporating defects that are coming during these testings using different test cases.
Mercury Load Runner: is used for performance testing. This is an automatic tool.
What does the following terms means :
- Technical Unit Testing
- Functional Unit Testing
- IntegrationTesting
- Volume Testing
- Parallel Testing?
Technical Unit Testing= Test of some technical development such as a user exit, custom program, or interface. the test usually consists of a test data set that is processed according to the new program. A successful test only proves the developed code works and that it performed the process as as designed.
Functional Unit Testing= Test of configuration, system settings or a custom development (it may follow the technical unit testing) These usually use actual data or data that is masked but essentially the same as a real data set. A successful test shows that the development or configuration works as designed and the data is accurate as a result.
IntegrationTesting= Testing a process, development or configuration within the context of any other functions that the process, development or functionality will touch or integrate . The test should examine all data involved across all modules and any data indirectly affected. A successful test indicates that the processes work as designed and integrate with other functions without causing any problems in any integrated areas.
Volume Testing= testing a full data set that is either actual or masked to insure that the entire volume does cause system problems such as network transmission problems, system resources issues, or any systemic problem, A successful test indicates that the processes will not slow or crash the system due to a full data set being utilized.
Parallel Testing= Testing the new system or processes with a complete data set while running the same processes in the legacy system. A successful test will show identical results when both the legacy system and new system results are compared.
I would also note that when a new implementation is being done you will want to conduct at least one cut over test from the old system to the new and you should probably do several.
What kind of testings that are carried out in testing server?
1. Individual Testing ( Individually which we've created)
2. Regressive Testing ( Entire Process)
3. Integration Testing ( Along with other integrated modules)
The 3 types of testing is as follows:-
1. Unit testing (where an individual process relevant to a SD or MM etc is tested)
2. Integration testing (where a process is tested that cuts across all areas of SAP).
3. Stress testing (where lots of transactions are run to see if the system can handle the data)
Roles and Responsibilities of End Users
What is the Difference between Consultant & End users?
SAP consultant role is to build the system, changes & modification/updation in currently installed SAP system for the end users.
SAP End user only use the SAP system just to fetch some info, or to create new thing. So a end user is just using the final product which it is meant for and consultnat design the product/updation and modification.
The roles and responsibilities of end users is working in easy access menu they will not have authorizations of using img settings if they get doubt they will send query to the implemented company and just entering day to day transactions.
Roles and Responsibilities of End User:
Using the software at the end or after the implementation is an End User.
In sap HR , we do come across entire Org Management creation by an end user after the Personnel strucutre is created. OM objects like creation of Org Unit means functional area or dpt , creation Job and Position and its occupancy is with in the limits of an enduser. Initiallly the OM is created by sap consultant . In course of time a new department has appeared in the company of the client .. this has to be created by the enduser rather than depending up on the implementor... similarly new job and position..like this small things are always done by the enduser.
The entire work of OM is purely depends upon the enduser.
After from this running periodical payroll and Ensuring of the Time schedules ( Work Schedules) of each employee is done from sap easy access by an enduser and the show run of payroll everymonth is by the enduser only. Like this lot of roles are there for an end user.
Whatever the problems come across during the enduser utilisation of sap ...that will reach as ticket to the support team
What Are SAP End User Manual
It is the same for every other modules although here I reference it mainly for SAP HR.
1) You should understand which targeted group for the end-user training is for. Do they have any computer background or not.
2) In what way they are going to make use of the manuals supplied to them during the course of training.
Let us focus on how to prepare manuals:
In the client side , End Users are not permanent. If they get any better job outside they will resign and go out. Even if you train them well, again the end-user team disappears after some time. That is why implementing company( Client ) expects SAP Consultants to prepare documents which are self explanatory (even to a layman in SAP) and study themselves and use the sap easy access very comfortably.
Hence we should prepare a document which explains the following things comfortably:
A) All the buttons and Screens we have in sap and its importance for an end-user.
B) All the transaction codes used by end user.
C) The STEP by STEP usage methodology with screen shots and explanatory foot notes for each Transaction code.
D) Prepare a book a table and columns which should have the following information:
- Sl.NO.
- Transaction Code
- Navigation path
- Use of the Code
- Expected Result
- Achieved Result
- Remarks/Any Comment
E) Highlight the common troubles during the usage of SAP by an end- user and give the solutions (ready to use)
These problems you can come across while giving the in house training for the end-users. You just place them at one place and publish it for their usage in future for any of their new joinees as an end-user.
F) Every consultant is aware that the entire Organsiational Management is with end user only. Means consultant should train the end user in entire OM.
G) We should inform the importance of info types and usage for our purposes at expert mode, PA30, PA40 etc.,
H) Each field in the international infotypes should be explained very clearly and ensure that they are comfortable with the fields of infotypes which have been configured for their company.
For example : info type 0001 Org Assignment insists about the three structures of the HR. We should explain each sub field like Emp Group, Emp Sub Group, Personnel Area and Sub Area and its importance and relevance to their company so as to understand while processing them from the end- user point of view .
When an employee is hired into the company , now the end-user in a position to understand which employee group and subgroup, Personnel Area And Sub Area etc., should allotted..
Like this whatever comes across in SAP Easy Access should be insisted through the training of end users.
I) Demo, exercises and solutions should be provided in the manuals.
J) Glossary of terms and expansion of Acronyms, Abbreviations should be given. Like this each consultant should focus on end user training and prepare the documents.

Successfully Implementing SAP
Implementing a package can be a traumatic affair for both the customer and the vendor. Get it wrong and the vendor may get paid late or have to resort to lawyers to get paid and tarnish their reputation. For the company the new package may not work the way they expected, be late or cost a more than budgeted for and take management will take their eye off running their business.
Recently a client asked me what I would consider to be the five most important things one should consider before embarking on an implementation. This isn't a simple question, although there are many factors to think about after some consideration for me the top five are way ahead of the others.
My top five factors to consider would be:
1. Set up a Project Board,
2. Secure the resources,
3. Complete the GAP Analysis,
4. Have detailed Cut Over Plans,
5. Train the users.
Taking each one in turn:
The Project Board
The correct set up and operation of the Project Board in my view is major factor in the success failure of the project. The Project Board will consist of the stakeholders, key users and the vendor. The Project Board is part of the governance of the project. The Project Board will meet regularly to ensure that the project plans are created and being executed as planned, moves from stage to stage with all the deliverables being signed off is resourced properly.
The Resources
Three types of resources are absolutely necessary -- end users, change team and technicians.
Early involvement by the end users is absolutely necessary, as they will be the ones living with the system for hopefully many years to come. They will want to feel involved in its implementation. Buy in from the end users of the system is absolutely essential if the system is to have a long and stable life in any organisation.
The Change Team will identify the gaps between the package and the business requirements, re-engineer some of the businesses process to cope with the package, train the users to ensure implementations is smooth as possible into the business.
The Technical Team will prepare the systems environment for the package, apply any software fixes from the vendor, implement the software in the best way possible for the organisation set up and tune the software for the particular technical environment.
GAP Analysis
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
Cut Over Plans
Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
Train Users
Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.
Explain Cutover Activities/Strategies in SAP FI.
Cutover Activities or Master Data Uploading Strategies Depending upon the when we are going live. As per that, you have to give the information to your core team. If you goling live at the middle you have to upload the all P&L Account items and B/S Items. If you going live at the financial year start, you have to only Upload the B/S Items. Activities for Golive:
1. G/L Master Upload Thru BDC or LSMW (TC-Fs00 and extended one co code to another company code Fs01)
2. Vendor Master Upload Thru BDC Or LSMW (Will be Taken Care By MM)
3. Customer Master Upload Thru BDC or LSMW (Will be Taken Care By SD)
4. Asset Master Upload(Thru As90)
5. Cost Element Master Upload
6. Cost Center Master Upload
7. Profit Center Master Upload
8. G/L Balances Thru F-02
10. Vendor Balances thru F-43
11. Customer Balances thru F-22
12. Customer Advances thru f-29
13. Vendor Advances thryu F-48
Before uploading Vendor Balances you have to take care of WHT(TDS) Information.
Difference between the User Exit & Gap analysis.
Both are quiet a different and has a small relation.
User exits are standard gate ways provided by SAP to exit the standard code and we can write our own code with the help of ABAP workbench. its not new functionality which we are trying to build in sap but its slight enhancement within the same code.
Gap analysis is start point of Realization and once blue print is finished we have to find the realization of sap system for client requirment and there will be certain gaps when compared to system fit. Those gaps can be closed either by re-engineering of business process to fit with SAP or we have to use USER exits in case of small deviations or complete enhancements with the help of ABAP to fit with the SAP system. *-- V.

What is roll out of SAP Project?
As per dictionary, Rollout means Inauguration or initial exhibition of a new product.
As per SAP specific definition, rollout is the strategy for international SAP implementation. Rollout strategy normally include the following
- Whether to implement SAP simultaneously (also known as big-bang) in all the countries, or
- Go live in sequence of phased manner
- Or to go for the combination of both (phased manner implementation for some of the countries and big-bang for others).
Rollout strategy is the most important decision that a client can make during SAP implementation. Normally, steering committee decides the rollout strategy.
ALL THE BEST

Man, thanks a lot! I appreciate this.
You think you could do me a favor? I listen to a lot of DCI songs (for those of you who don't know what that is, don't worry about it), anyways, DCI shows are average 0-2 mins. Could you give me the formula that you use for this so I can calculate it's

Split the lines in SLA

Hi,
We are using Project Accounting, Fixed Assets and General Ledger on 12.1.3 platform. When we capitalize the asset and generate asset lines, we send the information to Fixed Assets from where the accounting entries get posted to General Ledger through sub ledger accounting. We are using a secondary ledger that has project, expenditure type, task as additional segments.
We've a requirement of sending the accounting information from Fixed Assets to the secondary ledger whenever we send accounting entries (mainly additiona/adjustments) to General Ledger. We are configuring sub ledger accounting to achieve this.
Typically an asset contains many asset lines. When we generate and asset lines in project accounitng we group the lines at the task and expenditure type and send the asset lines to Fixed Assets. The problem is that when we run create accounting in Fixed Assets, the credit side is working fine but the debit side is causing problem because the cost is getting summarized at the asset cost account. I'm wondering if there is a way to split the lines. More detailed example is below
Asset A : Test Asset
Line : 1 Amount : 100 Project : 1 Task : A Exp Type : X
Line : 2 Amount : 120 Project : 1 Task : A Exp Type : Y
Line : 3 Amount : 100 Project : 1 Task : B Exp Type : X
When i send these lines to sub ledger accounting, i see three lines in the create accounting but the debit side, i see only one line for $320. I want to post three entries for the debit side as well. Is there a way to acheive this?
Thanks,
Harish

Check whether your debit side JLT is having Merge Matching Lines as Yes in JLT screen.
