Discovery of SAP Systems and Applications

I want to discover all the SAP systems present in my organization (System Landscape). Also, I want to get the information about the applications installed in them, for instance CRM, SRM etc. I believe I can use CCMS to do this which has this information in it's central repository but then all the remote repositories have to register themselves initially. What if one or more of them have not registered?? I somehow want to get the fool-proof information regarding all the systems whether they are registered or not. Any ideas or suggestions regarding this please??? Thanks in advance!!

first you need to activate and start you sld to do this select any of your system login to sld http://host name:50xx00/sld where xx is your instance number
from the abap side you need to sldapicust and set the logon
credentials for you abap system to SLD and then got to RZ70 and execute it(this whill schedule a job in the BTC) after this got o sldcheck and see if this is working fine
form the java side logon to visual admin go to server then services select sld data supplier and enter the logon information in HTTP tab and select test/trigger buttton on the top
there are lot of tutorials in this website on how to configure SLD in this website
you will also get a step by step document on setting up SLD at http://host name:50xx0/sld/doc/sld.pdf

What is the diffrence between sap events and application events

Hi all,
what is the diffrence between sap events and application events.Can any one tell me with examples.
regards,

Hi,
Look at this,
System Events (Default)
The event is passed to the application server, but does not trigger the PAI. If you have registered an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), this method is executed on the application server.
Within the event handler method, you can use the static method SET_NEW_OK_CODE of the global class CL_GUI_CFW to set a function code and trigger the PAI event yourself. After the PAI has been processed, the PBO event of the next screen is triggered.
The advantage of using this technique is that the event handler method is executed automatically and there are no conflicts with the automatic input checks associated with the screen. The disadvantage is that the contents of the screen fields are not transported to the program, which means that obsolete values could appear on the next screen. You can work around this by using the SET_NEW_OK_CODE method to trigger field transport and the PAI event after the event handler has finished.
Application Events
The event is passed to the application server, and triggers the PAI. The function code that you pass contains an internal identifier. You do not have to evaluate this in your ABAP program. Instead, if you want to handle the event, you must include a method call in a PAI dialog module for the static method DISPATCH of the global class CL_GUI_CFW. If you have defined an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), the DISPATCH method calls it. After the event handler has been processed, control returns to the PAI event after the DISPATCH statement and PAI processing continues.
The advantage of this is that you can specify yourself the point at which the event is handled, and the contents of the screen fields are transported to the application server beforehand. The disadvantage is that this kind of event handling can lead to conflicts with the automatic input checks on the screen, causing events to be lost.
Hope u understood.
Thanks&Regards,

MVC model in Web systems and applications

MVC model in Web systems and applications
Object-oriented design model is experience, MVC idea is a user interface for the original. This article discusses how the major application areas in the new Web design patterns and the use of MVC framework. The article first introduced the concept of design patterns and characteristics, and MVC architecture design concepts and analysis of the MVC framework contains several key models. Based on the characteristics of Web applications on how to use patterns and MVC framework made some design ideas.??
1. Introduction
1.1 design model
Object-oriented technology and the emergence of software applications has greatly enhanced the trusted and software quality. Object-oriented programming than previous models to various programming simple and efficient, but the object-oriented design methodology than the previous design methods to complex and much more skill, a good design should be both on the issue of gender, but also to take full account of the problems and needs sufficient interoperability. In the past 10 years, people in the object-oriented technology and the practical application of research to explore certain issues in relation to the creation of a number of good solutions, the so-called object-oriented design patterns. Object-oriented technology is one of the purposes of enhancing the software trusted, and to design model, design programmes in important positions from a deeper sense of meaning and essence embodies trusted. There are many people in the design model definition, which cited Christopher Alexander is the largest design model definition : Each design model is a tripartite rule, which expresses a contextual environment (Context), a problem and a solution. Design models generally following basic elements : model name, the purpose solution effect 1995-1998 code and related design models. There are several classifications design patterns can be divided into a model based on the purpose (Creational), structural type (Structural) and the type of behaviour (Behavioral) three. It is mainly used in the creation of a model-based object model-based structure to deal primarily with the category or combination of objects, used to describe behavior-based model is the main target for the category or how stress and how to allocate responsibilities. Design patterns can be divided into categories based on the scope and target mode model type model dealing with the relationship between the categories and sub-categories, these relations through the establishment of succession in Translation moment to be finalized, are static. Model is targeted at addressing the relationship between the moment of change these relations in the operation, more dynamic. Model features : through the experience acquired in a structured format to write down, avoid encountering the same problems on the first design, exist in different abstract level, in continuous improvement, can be trusted artificial product for the design and best practice in the world to be combined to address larger issues.
1.2 MVC framework
MVC was first used in a user interface Smalltalk-80 China. M representative models Model, representatives maps View V, C representatives controller Controller. MVC trusted code with the aim of increasing the rate of data reduction expressed, the data describing the operation and application coupled degrees. Also makes software Keweihuxing, restorative, expansionary, flexibility and packaging of greatly enhanced. Single-user applications are usually incident-driven user interface to the organizational structure. Staff development tool with an interface painting of a user interface interface code based on user input and then prepare to implement the corresponding moves, many interactive development environment encouraged to do so, because it emphasizes first and then a functional interface. Some software design model is the strategy that will be fixed before the code into the regular system of the final. Result is that the procedures and organizations around the user interface elements in the user interface elements of those moves, data storage, applications and functions of the code is used to indicate the way intertwined. In single-user system code structure can be so, because the system will not demand frequent changes. But for a large system such as large Web systems, or e-commerce systems to be applied. Model by incorporating data from a variety of access and control data can be separated to improve distributed system design. MVC design pattern is composed of three parts. Model is the application object, no user interface. Type in the screen showing that it represents the flow of data users. Controller user interface definition response to user input, the users responsible for the action against the Model into operation. Model View data updated to reflect the adoption of data changes.
2. MVC design pattern,
An MVC framework for the design of the system includes many models, but with MVC is most closely related to the following three models : Observer, Cambridge and Strategy.
2.1 Observer models
MVC through the use of purchase / notification form and the separation of the Model View. View to ensure that their content accurately reflected Model and state. Once Model content changes, there must be a mechanism to allow notification to the relevant Model View, View can be made relevant at the appropriate time updating of data. This design is also more general problems can be solved, the target separation, making a change to the target audience affect others, which targets those who do not know the details of the object being affected. This is described as Observer in the design model. Model type : Observer model is the object-oriented model, it is behaviour-based model. Model purposes : definition of hierarchical dependence relations between objects, or when a target value of the state change, all its dependent relationship with the object are notified and automatically updated. There are a variety of data may show a way, in different ways and may also show. When a way through a changed data, then the other should be able to show immediately that the data change and do accordingly.
Effect :
1. Abstract coupling. I only know that it has a target audience of some observers, the observers met each abstract Observer category simple interface, does not know their specific affiliation categories. This makes the coupling between goals and observers smallest and abstract.
2. Support radio communications. Needless to notify designated observers goals, how to deal with the observer informed decisions.
3. Possible accidents updated. We update logic, avoiding mistakes updated.
2.2 Faculty model
MVC is an important feature of View can nest. Nest can be used for any type of combination of local maps available, but also management of type nest. This thinking reflects the type and mix of components will be equal treatment design. This object-oriented design ideas in the area of Cambridge has been described as a design model. Model types : Cambridge model is the object-oriented model, it is also the structure type model. Model purpose : to target portfolio into tree structures to express "part-whole" level structure. Prepared for the use and combination of individual target audiences with the use of consistency.
Effect :
1. Definition of a target portfolio includes simple objects and the structure of the category level. Simple objects may be complex combinations of objects, and can be targeted portfolio mix. This customer-code used in the target areas can use simple combinations target.
2. Simplify customer-code. Needless to know their customers - a mix of target audiences is a simple target or can use these items in a consistent manner.
3. Easier to add new types of components. New components can easily be changed to a combination of customer-targeted codes.
2.3 Strategy model
Another important characteristic is the MVC can not change the View of changes View response to user input. This often requires a change in response to the logic of the system is very important. MVC to respond to the logic involved in the Controller. Controller of a category level structure could easily change to the original Controller appropriate, a new Controller. View Controller son used to achieve a specific example of such a response strategy. To achieve different response strategy, as long as examples of the use of different types of replacement will Controller. Also in the running time by changing the View Controller for users to change View of response strategies. This View-Controller relationship was described as an example of Strategy design pattern. Model types : Strategy model is the object-oriented model, it is behaviour-based model. Model purposes : definition of a series of algorithms, and their packaging, and ensure that they can replace each other, making algorithms can independently use its customer-change.
Effect :
1. Strategy category levels for Context definition of the relevant algorithms can be trusted or behaviour.
2. Alternative methods of succession. If the direct successor Context, with different acts will be added Context act, the realization of which would algorithm mixed up with Context, Context hard to preserve and expand, but can not dynamically changing algorithms. Will be enclosed in a separate Strategy category algorithms to enable algorithm independent Context change easily cut over expansion.
3. Can provide the same acts different date.
4. Strategy-must understand what customers between different.
5. Context and Strategy communications between costs.
6. An increase in the number of targets.
3. MVC in Web application system
Now some of the distributed systems such as Web-based B2B e-commerce system, suitable for use MVC framework. Through analysis from the perspective of high-level applications can be a target divided into three categories. Category is shown for the target audience consists of a group of commercial rules and data, there is a category that is receiving requests to control commercial target to complete the request. These applications often need to change is shown, such as web style, color, but also need to demonstrate the contents of the display. And the business rules and data to be relatively stable. Therefore, said that the frequent need to change the View objects that the business rules and data model to be relatively stable target, and that the control of the Controller is the most stable. When the system is usually issued after the View objects by artists, designers or HTML/JSP system managers to manage. Controller target applications development personnel from the development and implementation of rules for commercial and business development personnel from the target data, database managers and experts in the field of common completed. Show in Web?? or customers - control logic can be Servlet or JSP, dynamically generated Html. Generally used Servlet better than using JSP. JSP will be better with the Html code of separate codes for page designers and developers of separation efficiency. Servlet and JSP can complete all complete functions, actually JSP eventually converted into a Servlet. And control of the target system exists in every level, the coordination of cross-layer moves. Contain business rules and data objects exist in the EJB layer (EJB-centred model) or Web?? (Web-centred model).
3.1 View in the Web application system
View of the system shows that it fully exist in Web??. General by JSP, Java Bean and Custom Tag. JSP can generate dynamic web content using Java Custom Tag easier Bean, but it can show the logic of packaging, and more conducive to modular trusted. Some well-designed in a number of JSP Custom Tag can even be used in different system duplication. Model for control of JSP and Java Bean objects. JSP through Java Bean objects to retrieve the data model, the Model and Controller object is responsible for updating the data on Java Bean. In general, can we devise all possible screen that users can see all the elements of the system. Based on these elements, to identify the public part of passive components and dynamics. Can consider the use of templates means to separate the content generated JSP public, also need to change their generation Html or JSP from a JSP templates to dynamically introduce these different parts (include methods). Another issue to consider is screen option, when dealing with End users request template automatically available to show that the concern that users must know what is the screen components. So can consider all screens on the definition of a centralized document, such as a document or text document java. Taking into account the possibility of changes in future document definition screens, the best use of text documents such as a XML document, so future changes to the recompilation. According to the URL and user input parameters to shine upon the results of a screen, of course, likely to be made on the basis of the outcome of the implementation of actions to choose different results screen. Therefore, the need for a request for matching resources with document (XML), if a URL request several different results, it must specify in the document need to control the flow (a controller object), as well as the corresponding screen different flows.
3.2 Model in the Web application system
Model objects represent business rules and business data exist in EJB layer and Web??. In J2EE norms, the system needs some data stored in the database, such as user account information (account model), the company's data (company model), some not recorded in the database. If a user browsing the current catalogue (catalog model), the contents of his shopping (shopping cart model). Which one of these models exist in the data according to their life cycle and scope to decide. In Web?? a HttpSession and ServletContext and Java Bean objects to store data in the EJB layer is a data storage and logic EJB to. Web?? the Java Bean objects stored in the model layer model of the EJB object data copy. Because there are many different EJB tier model targets, so Web?? through a ModelManager to control the EJB layer object model in ModelManger background model can be used for packaging methods. In the EJB layer and the rules have all the data into EJB model is inappropriate. If the database can visit the Dao object model into objects. Dao can be encapsulated and the specific details of the database in the world, if we can write a different table, a number of databases, or even multiple databases. If the orders can be a model for OrderDAO, it may have to deal with Order table, table and OrderItemLines OrderStatus table. Value can also consider the use of targets. Value can be a target of securing long-range targets, because every time the remote object attributes could be a long-range redeployment process will consume network resources. EJB objects in the distance can be used instead target. In the distance, one-time items to be targeted instead of the value of all attributes.
3.3 Controller in Web application system
Coordination with the Model View Controller object to the request of users into the system to identify incidents. In Web?? generally a MainServlet (or Main.jsp), and receiving all requests, it can use screen flow management devices (ScreenFlowManger) decided next screen. There is a general request processors RequestProcessor contains all requests are needed to be done to deal with logic, such as the request translated into system events (RequestToEvent). Acting processors usually also includes a request for ClientControlWebImpl, it is logical to deal with the EJB layer in Web?? Acting. In EJB layer, a layer for EJB tier Web ClientController provide the CD visit. Another StateMachine used to create and delete ejb handle Web?? sent to the incident. Controller Another important function is synchronous View and Model data. ModelManger contained in a ModelUpdateManger, it puts events into a Model System assembly that all the needs of synchronous Model, and then notify Listeners do synchronous operation.
4. Concluding remarks
In recent years, with the Internet technology development and the emergence of new business models, the Web is based on a large number of applications. On how to design these systems architecture, and gradually there has been some convergence of opinion, the most important point is that its structure should be rational in the open. Demand than ever faster development of technology and design concepts, systems for the future, the cost of upgrading the smallest, research software systems architecture still very useful and necessary.

Bravo. And your point is?

Why are system and application sound files appearing in itunes?

Suddenly, over 900 system and application sound files, each about a second or 2 long, have appeared in my iPhone 4S music player. They've also appeared in my iTunes on my desktop iMac. Not sure whether they appeared on the computer first or on the phone first. I can't figure out why they appeared there or how to get rid of them (without also removing them from the system and applications which, of course, I don't want to do).
I searched through the discussions here and found several other people complaining about the same thing, going back a couple of years, but no solutions offered. I hope someone can offer a clue.

Thanks for the suggestions and help. While the cause of this problem is still obscure, we've managed, with an Apple tech's help, to remove the system/application sound files from both the iPhone and iTunes. We used Time Machine to backtrack to the point at which the sound files first appeared in the iTunes folder, then moved back one more day and restored the iTunes Media folder (where all the music was stored) and 2 iTunes files: iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml (we could also have simply restored the entire iTunes folder with the same effect). Then we synced the iPhone.
As for the cause, that's still a puzzle. From Time Machine, we were able to determine that the files were added between midnight and 12:47 AM on a particular day, but that computer was not in use at that time (the user was asleep in bed, and the only other person in the house at the time was me -- and I don't touch that computer).

Scenario for interface between a non sap system and a SAP erp

Hello,
I need some help in order to elaborate a interface between a SAP ERP and a non-sap system with the help of a XI system.
   - At first regarding the interface from the non sap system and a SAP ERP :
       the non sap system sends a flat file to the XI system. The flat file contains a row with header data and rows with item data. We were thinking when the file arrives to the XI system, to save the data in a header database and in a items database in XI. is it possible ?
And then to have like a job that reads the database and creates idoc and sends them to the SAP erp and updates the xi header and items database with a flag that means that the records have been sent to the SAP erp.
   -   Regarding the interface SAP erp to non SAP system:
       the SAP erp sends idoc to XI. Then the idocs are transformed into flat file.
Is this scenario possible ?
Do we need any adaptator between the non sap system and the XI ?
Thank you for your help
Christophe

Hi Bontron,
Idoc doesnot support synchronous call. So you can use either proxy or function module and inturn call the idoc from them and send response back to xi. You need to have two scenarios for your design.
Scenario1:   Source File (file adapter) -- xi -- Dump into database tables (Jdbc Adapter)
Scenrio2: Pickup form Database tables (Jdbc Adapter) -- xi -- RFC Adapter ---> This is synchronous call.
Regarding the interface SAP erp to non SAP system
You can send idoc to xi and from there use File adapter to send to the receiving system.
These blogs may help you to some extent:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/06/01/file-to-jdbc-adapter-using-sap-xi-30
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/step%2bby%2bstep%2bRFC%2bto%2bJDBC%2bscenario   (your scenario will be opposite to this)

Where would someone turn if they think they may be interested in apple/mac software development for systems and applications?

Where would someone turn if they think they may be interested in apple/mac software development for systems and applications? I do have some experience with industrial machine control programming. Not that it directly applies, however I have been involved in some types of programming.

You might start by reading this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/feb/10/gameculture-apple
I would check out the refurbished section of the online Apple Store before buying a used one from Craislist. They go quickly so you have to check often. It will be more than sufficent for you to work with.
There are more than a few such books, go to a book store near you and browse them yourself to see which one works for you.
For items 3 and 4 wait until you are ready for a commercial app and then seek help from a lawyer and an accountant.

AXI DB2 distributed sap systems and rsh

Hello,
we are running sap with aix 5.3 and db2 v9. our application server, central instance and database are running on different servers. Until now we are using rsh to start the distibuted systems. security colleagues asked us to change to ssh. we have seen, that it is possible to start db2 with ssh. but it is also possible in a distributed sap system to set rlogin=false and doesn't use rsh anymore?
thanks
alexander

Not sure what you are asking about - indeed, to use ssh for DB2 is of importance for DPF systems (i.e. BW-based SAP systems in multi-partition environments).
If you are asking how to enable ssh for starting SAP systems, then I guess the approach is to replace 'rlogin' by 'ssh' in your scripts. Of course, you need to ensure before that ssh is working as intended. E.g. if you expect the process to work without providing passwords, then you need to ensure that ssh can login without a password. You can find related information in the net e.g. searching with keywords
ssh automatic login
If all this does not help, or address your issue, please provide more exact information, e.g. the scripts you use.

SAP systems and Daylight savings for 2007

Hi,
We are discussing about the Daylight Saving time changes in USA for 2007 and its effect on SAP Systems.
"Beginning in 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November."
Wondering, if we need to change any variable settings to take into effect? If so, could anyone give details on it.
Wondering if SAP systems time is getting sync with Database servers or O/S ?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
The beginning of daylight saving time is normally not a problem as the time will jump from 2:00 to 3:00, so seen from SAP that no problem. You will only have a 1 hour hole, as the system had nothing to do for one hour.
So there are no settings or so to maintain or change. Just let SAP system run...
But it is different when switching back to "normal" time, as there you will have the so called double hour, and even as SAP is working on a solution to this, it is still recommended to shut down the SAP system for this period.
(searching for the term "daylight saving time" in OSS should give you some notes explaining how SAP is handling it)
As i know SAP system is taking the time from OS, but you can se what time the SAP system has, by in the GUI menu to select the "system" => "Status"...
(In the Popup you can se it in upper right corner)

Rolf

Data extract/convert from SAP system and load to Unix system - Urgent

Hi,
I have a requirement that I need to extract data from SAP and each data field will have some conditions and need to map/Load it to the Legacy Unix system.
there are four kinds of data objects of HR system, need to extract them individually and map those into Unix system.
Can anyone please suggest me step-by-step how to go about it....like
do we need to write a report for that?
do we need to use Function modules? etc.,
How to set mappings of that Data to a file?
How to map that file to Unix system?
Need to run those on daily basis and after first run, only changed data file need to be loaded. how to do this?
thanks
Alankaar
rewarded with the points.

Hi
I can't say this becouse I don't the problem, anyway u have to do it by yourself.
U should create:
- a document where u define the file format: data type, size and name of the field of the unix system;
- a document for the mapping: link between SAP fields and Unix system fields
Based on these document you'll create a structure on the report:
DATA: BEGIN OF STR_UNIX_SYSTEM,
 FIELD1 ...,
 FIELD2 ...,
 FIELDN....,
 END OF STR_UNIX_SYSTEM.
and the code to transfer the data from SAP to legacy:
MOVE: <SAP TABLE>-FIELD TO STR_UNIX_SYSTEM-FIELD1,
So all steps have to be defined in the report before downloading the file.
So I don't know which legacy system you're speaking about, after creating the file the legacy should read it in order to upload the data.
U can create a daily job for that report, if you need to transfer the changed data only you should read the change document table (CDHDR and CDPOS) but I don't know HR so I'm not sure these tables are available for HR.

Archiving Information from "old" SAP systems and switch off the server

Good day
I hope someone can offer some advice. Our company has a few sites across the globe. Three of the sites in South Africa ( where I'm working at the moment ) had their own SAP systems. Three odd years ago, we implementeted a new SAP system, combining the separate SAP systems into the new one, running of the same box etc etc. The "old" SAP systems were still availbale after the new one went live, in the event that people want to look back at history.
We are you busy with a project where we are going to merge our current SAP implementation into our global SAP system... obviously only the current master data are going to be transfered to the new system. It's an idea time for us to clean up our data.
My question: Once we go live on our global SAP system, we want to "export" or archive from the 3 "old" SAP systems the Master Data from the HR module ( like employees who's left the company - it's law to keep the records for 5 years at least once a employee has left) , HSEC and FI modules into a single datastore... this way we don't have to keep the three servers running in the event that history is required. The servers wil be kept off-line and only switched back on if a detailed audit is required.
The global SAP system does not have an archive solution implemented to we can't access archived data from the new system...
So, we need to export master data from our 3 old SAP boxes into a Unicode type file system, and our local South African sites needs to be able to access the information using a text type editor or a web based interface we can run off our SAP Portal...
Thank you

Hello Cornelius,
To introduce myself, I am an active SDN/BPX member as well as an ASUG Archiving and Information Lifecycle Management Volunteer.
Decommissioning Legacy Systems (SAP and non-SAP systems) is quite the topic these days with divestitures becoming such a common occurrence.
Some things to think about in this situation are:
Identifying the data to be decommissioned:
what information would be needed for an audit
what information would be needed for a lawsuit situation
Identifying the access requirements to this data.
Identifying the retention policies for this data (this will be
driven by regulatory requirements, etc.).
If this has not already been done - define retention periods for this data - it will most likely have different retention periods based on the type of data.
You mention that you do not have an archive solution in place yet.
I would recommend that you may want to research that option because typical requirements for retaining legacy data is that it is stored in such a manner so that it is protected from any type of modification.
There are a lot of 3rd party archiving/storage solutions that provide this type of secure storage.
You are correct in that you will want to export or archive the legacy data as opposed to loading the data into your current system. It would probably involve a large increase in the size of your SAP database and you would probably run into number range overlaps.
But, if this data is exported to a filesystem, you will be losing the business logic associated with the data, and the information is no longer in its original format (this could have legal ramifications).
I would recommend using SAP Archiving functionality for this effort. If you are looking for outside resources, there are many vendors out there that have a lot of experience with these types of projects.
Two that come to mind are Dolphin IT and OpenText.
Or, depending on the timeline of your project, SAP is coming out with a tool that can be used for decommissioning SAP Systems. It is part of
their SAP ILM solution. It will be called Retention Warehouse. Here is a paragraph from their latest white paper describing this new tool:
With the retention warehouse, SAP now offers a
standardized method for system decommissioning in
answer to these pressing issues. It allows you to reuse the archived data outside the original system in a central
retention warehouse.
For more detail on this topic, the white paper can be found on the SAP ILM Website:
service.sap.com/ilm
This tool is part of a larger initiative from SAP to help customers with their ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) strategy. This tool is near and dear to me as I was fortunate enough to be part of an
ASUG Influence Council that helped with some of the requirements for this solution.
I hope this information is useful.
Good luck and Best Regards,
Karin Tillotson

Conectivity between existent SAP Systems and migrated system to MSCS Cluste

Hi
I have an existing SAP NW PI 7.0 (Abap + Java on Windows 2003 - SQLServer 2005) and plan to migrate to a cluster with new hardware (MSCS).
I have to prepare for the installation by creating a homogeneous copy of the database but I'm a little bit confused.
-Can I use backup/restore method or only can use import/export with R3load tools? The target system is windows and sql server same versions.
-If I can use backup/restore... what is the rigth sequence to the installation? Can I use sapinst with mixed high availability options and System copy options?
-I need to use in the target system the same hostname and IP address of the actual system, so in the Follow-Up Activities we do not change the configuration between the actual system (SAP NW PI) and other existent systems in the landscape... but I do not know what is the location in the cluster to this hostname and IP:
*The central instance will be in the local disks in the node 1. Is the node 1 the rigth option to use the hostname and IP of the actual system?
*The SAP Cluster group has a virtual hostname and IP, it has message and enqueu services. Is the sap cluster group he rigth option to use the hostname and IP of the actual system?
How is the communication between the other systemas and the new clustered system?
Thanks for your help

Can I use backup/restore method or only can use import/export with R3load tools? The target system is windows and sql server same versions.
You should follow the SAP guidlines in performing a homogeneous system copy.
I need to use in the target system the same hostname and IP address of the actual system, so in the Follow-Up Activities we do not change the configuration between the actual system (SAP NW PI) and other existent systems in the landscape... but I do not know what is the location in the cluster to this hostname and IP
This is not possible. If you follow the SAP instructions for installing NW 7.0 in MSCS you will create two cluster groups: DBGroup and SAPGroup. You will therefore have two virtual IP addresses, one for SAP cluster group and one for DB cluster group. If you retain the current IP address/hostname for the virtual SAPGroup, you will need to follow the SAP guidelines for performing a SAP system copy to find where to change the database hostname/IP addresses to point to your new DBGroup.
The central instance will be in the local disks in the node 1. Is the node 1 the rigth option to use the hostname and IP of the actual system?
If you are meaning the ASCS then this should be installed on the disks that are part of the SAPGroup in the cluster.
If you mean the dialog instance (or the Central Instance of a Java stack) then this can be on a local disk for node 1, and not in the cluster.
The SAP Cluster group has a virtual hostname and IP, it has message and enqueu services. Is the sap cluster group he rigth option to use the hostname and IP of the actual system
Yes, this will be the message server host for ASCS.

Cleaning old systems and applications from Mac

I want to clean up my computer of old system folders and applications that are not it use but am afraid some settings will be lost. Is there a careful way to do this? Is spring cleaning or another 3rd party software the best option. I particularly want to get rid of CS, CS2, and CS3 but I notice that each time I upgrade it pulls information from the previous install and I don't want to mess up my CS4, or CS5 settings.

"I particularly want to get rid of CS, CS2, and CS3 but I notice that each time I upgrade it pulls information from the previous install and I don't want to mess up my CS4, or CS5 settings."
Trash only the application. Leave the setting files alone.
"I want to clean up my computer of old system folders and applications that are not it use but am afraid some settings will be lost. *Is there a careful way to do this?"*
Leave the system folders alone is the +"golden rule"+ around here. Unless _you really know what you are doing,_ it's best to leave them be.
For cleaning up your computer of unwanted and/or unneeded files here are a few suggestions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305454 Mac OS X 10.4: FileVault - "There isn't enough space on your hard disk..." alert
Empty the trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or Mobile accounts to store their "stuff.”
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days.
There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

SAP Systems and Isolation Groups

Dear experts
We started to configure RW with free-of-charge license. So SAP system were created under Isolation Groups.
When Full license was activated, only GLOBAL Isolation Group is available for all configurations.
But we cannot see all SAP systems, created in named IG before. How can we move or objects, created in named IS when logging on to IS GLOBAL?
Regards
Vladimir Kogan

Hello Vladimir,
Isolation groups are not available by default in the full version of CPS.
If you wish to move all objects to the GLOBAL isolation then you can do this by running the job named System_Isolation_Deisolation. Be sure that this is what you wish to do before you run the System_Isolation_Deisolation job because once run it is NOT reversible.

Slow system and application startup times

Hi,
I've got a 17" Macook Pro (Early 2011) 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 - ever since I bought it I feel like it runs a little slow.
I've been a long-time mac used but I feel a little disappointed with this machine.
e.g.: Startup time takes around 4 minutes.
Applications take around 10 seconds to start.
Chrome sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to start, about the same to quit.
My Xbench scores fluctuate wildly - best I've ever got is 220, worst is 18. 160 is about the average.

http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc2=537725
http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc2=544252
I feel that tried everything including:
- Creating a new user
- Repairing disk permissions
- DIsk verify and repair
- Removing all startup items
- Installing extra ram (currently at 8GB)
It runs well most of the time but frustratingly slow sometimes and there doesn't seem to be any anomalous activity in activity monitor. I feel that it could be the hard disk, but don't know (I always have 250-350gb free).
Any help appreciated!

Thanks for the link. I've never seen that page before but I have done everything in that list.
It's not a spinning beachball issue - the system doesn't lock-up often it just takes a **** long time to do some things. I didn't really realise it as a problem until I started using other people's older/lower spec'ed macs and noticed that they run FASTER than mine.
Activity monitor pics - just after a restart with my usual apps running:
CPU https://skitch.com/e-hellodaniel/83pq5/activity-monitor
Memory https://skitch.com/e-hellodaniel/83pq7/activity-monitor
Disk https://skitch.com/e-hellodaniel/83pxg/activity-monitor
Even using Skitch to take those screenshots took ages.
It's almost like the disk or CPU is throttled back or bottlenecked, and always has been...
