Dev qas and prd set up with different clients

good day experts,
If I have 3 different clients in PRD, is it recommended to have 3 qas and 3 dev clients as well? For instance, 3 clients in PRD which are 500, 510, and 520; do I have to have 300,310,320 for qas and 200, 210, and 220 for dev? for we have difference configurations and settings on difference clients.
Please suggest! Thank you in advance!

Hi,
It is not mandatory that you have three clients in all system. General approach is as below:
1) Development System- Sandbox Client, Development Client, Golden Master Client
2) Quality System- Testing Client, Pre-Production client (not require always)
3) Production System- One Production Client (If there is any special requirement then you can create more client)
Thanks

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD?

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD in any company?

Anand,
let me start with saying that the question you ask may not help you to determine the duration of your project. As Ryan and others stated the duration of the project is highly dependent on the scope of the solution you are implementing, geographical scope, amount of modifications/enhancements, number of languages, number of users that need to be trained, amount of standard processes customer is able to re-use in the implementation and many other factors (like quality of implementation contractor you will chose and availability of customer and implementors resources). I can probably go on for another couple lines, but I guess you get the idea.
With that out of the way let's talk about some example implementations that will give you an idea - Ryan did great job outlining what I would call traditional approach above. I have couple examples where customers leveraged innovative deployment strategies that are available today. In particular the project teams leveraged pre-packaged services like RDS, World Template or Best Practices as their baseline solution and they built from there. Second acceleration technique customers now leverage is the deployment in the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to accelerate the time to initial setup of the system and thus move from traditional blueprinting to scope validation exercise that further shortens the time. There are other acceleration techniques we see applied in some cases like use of iterative implementation of the delta requirements on top of the baseline solution.
Let me offer few examples to illustrate what I explained above:
ERP implementation at Schaidt Innovations with 3 months long deployment of ERP solution using ERP RDS as a baseline (you can view their testimonial here - Schaidt Innovations: SAP ERP on HANA in the cloud - YouTube)
Customer in Asia with global template deployment that leveraged SAP ERP for Manufacturing with deployment to cloud and 9 countries rollout (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, Germany and US). The initial deployment took 4 months for first country and 2 months for rollout into the additional 8 countries - so total of 6 months. The original plan using traditional approach with full blueprint and heavy configuration was estimated to be more than double of the actual deployment time.
There are many other examples where customers follow the assemble-to-order delivery model for their project and gain significant benefits doing so. I suggest you to review some of the recordings we did in 2013 about this approach and if you are member of ASUG review the Agile ASAP sessions we did for ASUG PM SIG.

How to compare versions of DMEE Format Tree in DEV, QAS and PRD

Hi,
Is there a way to compare version of the DMEE Format Tree in DEV, QAS and PRD? I would just like to ensure that version in DEV is in sync with the ones in QAS and PRD before I do my changes. It seems that Version Management of Transaction DMEE can;t compare the versions in the three systems. Thank you very much for your inputs.
Best regards.
Brando

Brando.
DMEE is a standard transaction which will be in sync with all the servers in your landscape unless there is any customisation done and the request is not yet moved.What problem are you facing when you are trying to do REMOTE COMPARISION ?

Risks when maintain only one SolMan system for DEV, QAS and PRD systems

What are the risks involved when maintaining only one solution manager system for entire client landscape(Small size).
Or No risks are involved?
Or Is this the SAP rrecommended approach for small size landscapes?
One SolMan system -> DEV and QAS and another SolMan system -> PRD.

Anand: Risks Involved depends on what all aspects\Scenarios the Solution Manager System is used for. It Could be used for the following purposes
1) Service Desk
2) Solution Monitoring
3) System Monitoring
4) Change Management
How do you propose to use the Solman system ?

Anand: This is the most idealistic and SAP recommended way of using Solman....it always better to have it this way no matter in how many scenarios you intend to use Solman for....

Can we transport BW QUERY VARIANT (created in DEV) to QAS and PRD?

Hi gurus,
I created a lot of QUERY VARIANT ( parameters saved when we execute queries ) in BW DEV.
I am using those variants in my Analisys Process Designer and i do not want to create again in QAS and PRD.
Somebody knows how to transport those variants?
Is possible to assign by SE03? What is the code that object?
Thanks for any Help!!!
Carlos Eduardo Olinto

I transported my Query Variants.
- Variants must be created in DEV
- Download the records from:
> tables
RSRVARIANT
RSRVARIANTDIR
RSRVARIANTTXT
> Filter Field: VARI = "Query Variants Code"
- Create request in DEV
- Assign R3TR TABU <Table name>
Tables:
RSRVARIANT
RSRVARIANTDIR
RSRVARIANTTXT
- Save the contents in each table (Only KEY FIELDS)
- Verify the Lenght in each field, it must be correct (no spaces for each Field)
I hope it helps you!

I am assuming that the plan and location fields are part of the data structure and the path D:SXCommon will always remain the same in all the environments.
In that case, you can write a generic UDF for this that will handle in Dev, QA and PRD

Based on above informations, how could I achieve it?

Suddenly that code in the following gives me some error
var langPath = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFilePath"]+root.LoaderInfo.parameters["lang"];
my_ssp.xmlFilePath = langPath;
var fileType = root.LoaderInfo.parameters["xmlFileType"];
my_ssp.xmlFileType = fileType;

      my_ssp.xmlFilePath = paramObj[param];

I have an iPhone 4s and have set up with my provider for voicemail. however, when called my phone does not switch to voicemail. How do I set the phone to transfer to voicemail when not answered etc?

Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature. This has to be fixed by your carrier, so contact them, as obviously, voicemail is not properly provisioned on your account.

Set-up with different urls for login server and mid-tier

The desired external host names are the following:
Portal -> http://www.myportal.com
Login Server -> http://www.login.com
The real (internal) host names are the following:
midtier -> midtier.xyz.com
infrastructure-> infra.xyz.com
How should the Oracle HTTP Server, Login/SSO server, portal be configured with this type of set-up?
In particular, what should be in the httpd.conf, dads.conf, mod_osso.conf files and which values should be passed to the ssocfg and ptlasst scripts? Does the DAS url need to have the internal or external host name?

How should the scenario described above be integrated into the instructions below? $HOSTNAME may refer to the internal or external midtier or infrastructure machine name. Which should be used?
Assume HTTPS for the login server --> https://www.login.com.

Subject: How to configure SSL with Portal 9.0.2
Type: HOWTO
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Creation Date: 25-OCT-2002
Last Revision Date: 16-JAN-2003
PURPOSE ------- This note explains how to set up SSL with Portal. There are several ways to configure SSL with Portal. This note uses SSL only between the browser and WebCache. The communication between the Webcache/Apache or PPE/Webcache is done in HTTP. This installation is a lot less CPU extensive than a full SSL configuration. Please note the configuration outlined here is not currently certified for Portal 9.0.2; however, it is fully supported by Oracle Support and Development. This means that this configuration was not tested by the Portal QA Department within Oracle. The difference in the QA test was that all components of the configuration were in SSL mode. SCOPE & APPLICATION ------------------- This note is intended for Portal administrators. This note is based on Unix. The Windows NT configuration is very similar. HISTORY ------- Version 1.0: SSL with a Unix shell script Version 1.1: Comment about the Webcache HTTP port How to configure SSL with Portal 9.0.2 -------------------------------------- Step 1 - Prerequisite --------------------- A. Get a SSL certificate ------------------------ IAS v2 is given with dummy certificates. You can use them. If you wish to use real SSL certificates, follow a note to configure SSL with Webcache like : - Note 161863.1 - Configuring WebCache with SSL - NT/2000 - Note 165305.1 - Configuring WebCache with SSL - Unix B. Password of the database schemas of portal --------------------------------------------- You need to have the passwords of the following database users: Database user Your passwords ---------------------------------------------- portal orasso orasso_ps orasso_pa These passwords are normally randomized during the installation of IAS V2. To find them, please follow one of these notes: - Note 206514.1 : IAS 9.0.2 : How to get the portal passwords to run the PTLASST script (Windows) - Note 199633.1 : Script to determine orasso password in 9iAS 9.0.2 on Unix - Note 205984.1 : Script to determine orasso password in 9iAS 9.0.2 on Windows C. Ports -------- During this installation, you will need to know a lot of ports of IAS V2. Please collect this information, before to begin. You can see the port list by going to the homepage of the midtier and of the infrastructure web page and clicking on the tab Port. You can also read the file portlist.ini that resides in both ORACLE_HOME in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/install. Here is the list, you need: Name of the port My port numbers Your port numbers --------------------------------------------------------------------- Midtier Web Cache HTTP port 7783 Midtier Web Cache HTTPS port 4459 Midtier Web Cache Admin port 4000 Midtier Web Cache Invalidation port 4001 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Infrastructure Oracle HTTP Server port 7784 Infrastructure Oracle HTTPS Server port 4460 Infrastructure Internet Directory(non-SSL) 4039 --------------------------------------------------------------------- D. Backups ---------- You should take a backup of your IAS installation in case that you want to revert all the changes done here and/or if you make a mistake during the configuration. The only good way to do a backup of IAS 9.0.2 is to have a full backup of the both ORACLE_HOMES of the Infrastructure and of the MidTier. Step 2 - Configure Portal to run in SSL --------------------------------------- 1) Edit the Webcache configuration Go to the administration port > http://hostname:web_admin_port/ > Typically http://hostname:4000/ Login: administrator/administrator Go to General Configuration / Site to Server Mapping -> Change the rule WebCache SSL - HTTP SSL -> Below the title Select "Application Web Servers" -> Check the checkbox with HTTP -> Uncheck the one with HTTPS -> Submit On the top of Webcache admin screen, press on <Apply the changes> Then restart WebCache. 2) Edit the dads.conf (in $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplql/conf) Add a new line in the DAD: <Location /pls/portal> PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList REQUEST_PROTOCOL=HTTPS,SERVER_PORT=4459 Where 4459 is the HTTPS port of the MIDTIER. 3) Modify the web.xml of the portal application ($MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/applications/portal/portal/WEB-INF) Add several parameters to the page servlet (PPE). [...] <servlet> <servlet-name>page</servlet-name> [...] <init-param> <param-name>useWebCache</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>useScheme</param-name> <param-value>http</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>usePort</param-name> <param-value>7783</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> [...] Where 7783 is the HTTP port of Webcache. Step 3 - Run the PTLASST ------------------------ Because of bug 2659809, we will remove an entry in OID before to run the PTLASST script. This entry will be recreated by PTLASST. Because of bug 2654938, we will reconfigure Webcache after PTLASST. Run this script, and modify the environment variables with the values found above. This scripts does 3 things: 1) It configures SSO/DAS to run in the infrastructure HTTPS port 2) It configures Portal in HTTPS mode, and associates Portal with SSO in HTTPS. 3) Restart OC4J and HTTP processes of the MIDTIER and INFRASTRUCTURE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - portal_ssl.sh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - export INFRA_ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/infra902 export MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/ias902 export INFRA_SID=iasdb export MIDTIER_SID=ias902 export PORTAL_SID=$INFRA_SID export PORTAL_TNS=iasdb export MIDTIER_HTTP_PORT=7783 export MIDTIER_HTTPS_PORT=4459 export WEBCACHE_INV_PORT=4001 export WEBCACHE_ADM_PORT=4000 export INFRA_HTTP_PORT=7784 export INFRA_HTTPS_PORT=4460 export OID_PORT=4039 export EM_PORT=1810 export PORTAL_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORASSO_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORASSO_PA_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORASSO_PS_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export HOSTNAME=machine.domain.com export IAS_PASSWORD=ABCDEFGH export ORAENV_ASK=NO export ORACLE_SID=$INFRA_SID . oraenv unset ORAENV_ASK echo '******** PART 1 - SSO IN SSL **********' export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=$INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin:$PATH export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH # This step will change the URL used to login by default for # all partner application cd $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin ./ssocfg.sh HTTPS $HOSTNAME $INFRA_HTTPS_PORT # This step add a new partner application to SSO. # It associates the new URL used by OIDDAS with SSO. cd $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib java -jar $ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib/ossoreg.jar -host $HOSTNAME -port 1521 -sid $INFRA_SID -site_name ssl_$HOSTNAME -success_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/osso_login_success -cancel_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/ -logout_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/osso_logout_success -home_url https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/ -start_date 08012002 -admin_id oracle -ip_check false -config_mod_osso true -oracle_home_path $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME -u root -sso_server_version v1.2 echo '---------------------' echo 'Change the URL of DAS' echo '---------------------' rm das.ldif echo 'dn:cn=OperationURLs,cn=DAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext' > das.ldif echo 'changetype:modify' >> das.ldif echo 'replace:orcldasurlbase' >> das.ldif echo orcldasurlbase:https://$HOSTNAME:$INFRA_HTTPS_PORT/ >> das.ldif ldapmodify -h $HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "$IAS_PASSWORD" -f das.ldif echo '******** PART 2 - PORTAL IN SSL **********' echo '-----------------------' echo 'Delete an entry in LDAP' echo '-----------------------' ldapdelete -h $HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "$IAS_PASSWORD" "orclApplicationCommonName=PORTAL,cn=Portal,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext"

Webcache has no way to limit the use of a port to a specific machine or IP address. This is not a real issue because the goal of SSL is not to avoid that people access your server but that people intercept the data sent between the browser and the webserver. But in case that you/your customer is very sensible about security and want a webserver with SSL only (what is very rare), you may want to add a firewall in front of Webcache to block the HTTP port.

SoD rules maintenance: in DEV, QAS or PRD

Hello colleagues,
Could you please help with recommendations for SoD rules maintenance process?
Where to maintain SoD rules: in DEV AC system, QAS (and then transfer to PRD) or directly in PRD AC?
Thanks,
Anton.

Hi Frank,
Thank you for response!
In case rules are exported from DEV and then imported ro PRD then we lose history of function change.
May be you have any additional recommendations for AC usage :
1. Which department is usually responsible for SoD rules transporting for Production: e.g. Risk Department, Basis?
2. How does usually SoD rules change management process set up? Risk Department often does not know authorization model of SAP in details (especially for certain SAP Module), implementation or support team usually does not take care of SoD risks. Normal situation is when SAP ERP was implemented several years ago and now Risk Department is established with some business knowledge but without detail understanding of SAP security model (authorization objects, fields, etc.)
Thanks in advance,
Anton.

SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 connect to SAP R/3 Three System landscape (DEV QA and PRD)

Hi,
We have successfully installed SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 (ABAP + JAVA) on
WIN2003 SP2 EE MSSQL 2005 EE SP1.
I just want to activate the service so that SOLMAN could see my existing SAP R/3 4.6 C Three system landscape (DEV QAS PRD).
I heard settings should be done on SPRO IMG configs. Could anyone tell me the exact procedure to navigate on it. I see a lot of buttons to config and execute, Just want to make sure everything will be in order.
My SLD is directly installed locally on my SOLMAN server.
Thanks,
Simoun

Hello Simoun,
Telling from your last sentence I assume that you would like to connect SolMan (transaction SMSY) to your locally installed SLD or in other words: replicate SLD system data into SOLMAN system landscape SMSY.
Please check this document:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000530282007E
Here you find information covering prerequisites, required SAP Solution Manager IMG configuration to connect SLD and SMSY and frequently ask questions (FAQ-like).
I hope this helps you to get started.
Regards,
Doreen

Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000 of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

Photos.
They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.
I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment) one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
How can I copy
the whole library still in "Events" to an external hard drive?
the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
Thanks

UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
Thanks, Sean.

PDF forms and how they work with different Reader versions

I'll start this off by giving a little background information and describing a workflow scenario. I work as an InHouse designer for a company that keeps the majority of the employee population always a few versions behind. Fortunately, for us designers they keep us updated, but it doesn't always play nicely when you're saving your PDFs for older versions of Acrobat Reader.
What happens is that I create a form in InDesign, export a PDF, and then create my form fields in Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac. After saving for version 9 I then take the PDF and test within the Windows environment which our IT is enforcing Acrobat Reader 7. The PDF opens ok and I can fill out the form, but I cannot save. I then open in Acrobat Pro 7 for Windows and then it gives the option to save or make modifications.
My questions really come down to whether or not Reader 7 is doing this because of how old the technology is, or if that would change if our IT would allow Acrobat Reader 8 or 9? Now I've looked at the Acrobat Pro 9 comparison chart and it states "Enable users of Adobe Reader® (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Does this mean that we just need version 8 or 9 and then people can save the form? What in version 7 is causing us not to be able to save? Did that change the technology in some way? I'm trying to figure out if we get IT to upgrade users to Reader 9 if this will solve the issue or will they have to install Acrobat Standard/Pro 9 to save a PDF form?
What other selling points could we make to our IT department that using Reader 9 is a lot better than using Reader 7? Any technology benefits, security or functions?
Thanks

And for my standard disclaimer, if you are going to use the forms in a corporate environment, be sure to study and understand the usage limits for enabled forms (the limit is 500 uses, but there are caveats to that) in the EULA. Mostly the enabled forms are meant for very small time users. If you do not meet that requirement, Adobe sells another product that can enable files for unlimited uses but it costs in the tens of thousands of dollars and is a server side solution.
Hey Graffii,
I enabled the usage rights and that did help with saving in Reader 7. I am a little concerned about the limit of 500 uses. Let me try and understand you a little better. I have a PDF that has a couple form fields and you're saying that the PDF can only be opened 500 times? I've never heard of restrictions on PDFs before. Does this happen after you place just 1 form field? How do I find out more information? I looked in the EULA, but found nothing.
Also, what does Adobe mean here "Enable users of Adobe Reader® (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Are they saying that you need Reader 8 or later to read a form or that you need Acrobat Pro 8 or later to enable the form feature?
It's all very confusing because one of the features they tout in version 9 is the ability to save forms locally, but once I enable the form I could save it with Reader 7. It's hard to tell if they are referring to Reader 9 or Acrobat Pro 9.
Thanks
