Does anybody use ChaRM with their BW system?

We are looking to implement Charm for our BW system and I am looking for somebody that has experience with this. For example if you extract a new field from your ECC system and transport it via Charm, does the system recognize that this transport needs to finish generating the data in BW before it moves the next transport in line? Or do you have to manually import these transports into BW?

Horst,
We already have Charm for ECC, CRM, SCM, Portal and the setup is not really a problem. The issue I have around BW is really a different one. Today, without Charm, we have the issue that the transports are not going in in the sequence that they are released (the BW manager gives us the sequence he wants them to be moved) and that in between transports we have to wait until the generation of data in BW is done, before the next transport can move. This takes a lot of time and as this needs to be done in off hours it keeps a person busy on the weekend, which ideally I want to avoid going forward as we are not staffed for that.
So my question is if we are doing something wrong in general around the transports we do for BW (so that we have to wait and change transport sequences and do stuff manually) and if Charm is only going to make it worse....
Looking for tips and tricks on how we can get this to go automated... . How can we get this to improve?
Can you give me a few details on how your transports are going through for BW and if you encounter any of the above problems or how you might have resolved them?
Thanks for your reply and thoughts on this

  • Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System

    I´m sorry, this a new post about an old discussion but I would like to start a fresh dialogue for today; 2011.
    Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System (with or without T.Machine).
    An affordable alternative to LTO tape? Proved compatibility with Mac OS?
    Is it possible to insert a RDX drive as a second optic unit inside a Mac Pro?
    Any happy RDX+mac user, so far?
    Thanks.

    I'm not using RDX on a Mac, but I do have one client I'm using RDX for a Windows server.  While RDX is somewhat cost effective over LTO/Ultrium, IMHO it probably wouldnt' be the best for Time Machine.  Time Machine expects the previous backup to be online and if you switch cartridges, TM would have to create a new backup from scratch.  Then if you switch back the cartridges, your TM bundles are out of sync.  I'm not saying it's not possible, but that this is not the "normal" way TM works.  So you need to understand what you need to do if you were planning to switch cartridges.  (If you weren't planning to switch cartridges, then a "normal" external or internal hard drive is more cost effective than RDX.)
    RDX cartridges are basically 2.5" SATA hard drives.  The RDX "drive" is, for the most part, just a SATA to USB converter.  (Or SATA to eSATA or whatever interface you get.)  On the PC the advantage is that you don't have to "safely remove hardware" and you don't lose the drive letter.  On the Mac, a "normal" external hard drive is almost as convinient as RDX, since there's no drive letter to worry about.  The RDX's advantage on the Mac would be not having to plug/unplug a USB cable on the external units.  I suppose you could get an internal eSATA RDX to put into a Mac.  I don't know of anyone doing that.
    I did use my client's USB RDX drive on his Macbook, just to see what we could do with it.  While it worked, we didn't do extensive testing so I can't comment on long term satisfaction with OSX.  But so far it's been reliable with Windows for almost two years.  (Windows Server 2008 with Backup Exec 2010.)  However since RDX is basically just a hard drive, I've gotten the client to realize that in a year or two, we'll probably have to start replacing cartridges, assuming his data size doesn't grow beyond the RDX capacity.  This is based on the assumption that the RDX cartridges would have similar longevity to laptop hard drives, which have 3-5 year warranties.  We probably will get more lifespan than that, but better to have the client plan in the budget now, rather than have backups fail.

    Thanks guys....I realize that 300 clip is considered torturous, but its rather depressing that my Q6600 main Vista PC can play it smoothly (or even booting it into...erm...Hackintosh mode), and there is apparently nothing I can do to get it working as well on my PPC Quad.
    I guess its as much to blame on the decoder options; even XBMC (apparently the PPC best option for multicore) refuses to use more than 2 cores....never reaches 200% usage in activity monitor, yet still the stuttering/uneven play. It does play better than VLC & PerianQT tho.
    Ahh well. Thanks for everyone's help....I may still yet upgrade the vidcard, but as of right now, if this wouldnt really help the 1080p issues, its less of a priority than before. Thanks for the GTX512 suggestion; I might go that route too.
    Also, thanks to the guy who took the time to dl and test than 300 video for me, that helped immensely.

  • Anybody used OpenScript with Oracle 11. x forms yet

    Does OATS 9.2 support 11g forms at all? We are still not able to use the tool since we moved to 11g forms and web services with it.
    I was just wondering does anybody uses OATS to test such application at all?
    How come its not supporting the in house forms application.

    Hi,
    Is this for Load Testing or Functional Testing?
    When working with forms for functional testing I always enable the Java Console. Goto Control panel->Java->Advanced. Expand the Java Console entry and select Show Console.
    Then replay your script which invokes the forms application and in the console window you should see entries like :
    Loading Oracle ATS Forms Functional Testing Module[5.3] [Sun JRE_1.6.0_22]
    cracked oracle.forms.engine.Main
    cracked oracle.forms.engine.Runform
    Regards
    (My white paper discusses in detail @
    [http://www.scl.com/software-quality/software-testing-news/testing-oracle-forms-with-openscript]
    Look at the section discussing the Java Console.
    Hope this helps

    if email receiver does not use thurderbird(with enigmail), can my email be traced back or spied by third party? is it meaningless if just me as a sender use thurderbird with enigmail enabled?

    Looks like the link you originally clicked was a scam to get you to submit your username and password.  I reckon the email from Google was legit (because it did not ask you to enter your username and password, but advised you to change your password.)  So it looks like they did actually block a sign-in attempt.  Sometimes, scammers do send out emails like this, but they are the ones which ask you to sign in again (because it's those details they are after).
    Given that you've changed your password three times you should be safe.  The golden rule is never submit usernames and passwords when prompted from an email - it's almost certainly a phishing attempt designed to get hold of your details.

  • Using ChaRm with 2 Development (source) systems

    Good Day;
    Before I get into the full description of an issue we are facing. I would like to know if anyone out there is using ChaRM and has 2 development systems defined.
    Regards
    Don

    Thanks Avinash
    This is the problem I am having
    We have 2 landscapes each with a development and quality system. Also there is a single volume test system. Both landscapes point to a single production system. So it would look like this
    DW3           DW4
    QW1           QW2
               VW1
                PW1
    The DW3 landscape is defined as the production landscape (normal releases) and the DW4 landscape is defined as the emergency landscape. The emergency landscape is synchronized with the production landscape during a normal release.
    The migration path for a normal release would be DW3, QW1, VW4, (now synchronizing) DW4, QW2, PW1.
    The migration path for an emergency fix would be DW4, QW2, VW4 (if performance testing is required), PW1.
    All these systems are defined in the ChaRM landscape
    When a task list is generated, you are asked which development system, DW3 or DW4. When the task list is generated, it starts at DW4, QW2, PW1, DW3, QW1, PW1 (We have not defined a volume VW4 system in or test landscape).
    As well when a creating a transport, and DW3 is selected, ChaRm generates an error stating the task list is out of sequence,
    You will notice that the task list goes to PW1 twice. Is there a way to generate the task list in the correct order. DW3, QW1, DW4, QW2 and PW1.
    Regards
    Don Newton

  • CHARM with  a 2 system landscape

    Hello ,
    we have only a 2 system landscape for our ERP systems.
    When I now click on the check button on the maintainance project. I receive an error :
    No consolidation system found for DEV-001 (project TEST_CHARM)
    No track for project TEST_CHARM with log. system P23/001
    Message from function module /TMWFLOW/CHECK_PRJ_CONS: No export system for DEV-001
    TMS ( without any client  routes)
    DEV->PROD
    Any suggestions ?
    Regards

    Hi Daniel,
    we are using CHaRM in various transport landscapes with 2 and up to 5 systems. This is all working fine. Please make sure there is a consolidation transport route from DEV, also all RFC connections from Solution Manager to your Transport Landscape are set up, inlcuding 000 clients.
    TMS settings need CTC=1, and Trusted Services in STMS need to be activated.
    Other prerequsites are:
    - Systems are deined in SMSY
    - Transport Domain link between Transport domain controllers
    - Logical components defined in SMSY (with correct system roles)
    - Lofical component added to SMI project
    If this is all fine, please hit button "Shipment Routes" in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN in tab page "System Landscape" => "Systems" You should see all transport routes required for this project.
    If this works, you are in a good shape.
    Best Regards,
    Holger Slomka

  • HT1296 Does anyone uses optonline as their email service provider?

    If anyone uses optonline as their email service provider, do you have a problem with your MacBook Pro synching emails with the Optimum server?  For example, when I delete an email from my inbox on my MAC Book, it does not delete the email in the inbox on the server.  I just bought an iPhone:  when everything synch's through iCloud, all the messages from the Optimum server are on my iPhone versus the messages from the inbox on my MacBook. Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks very much

  • Does LR2 use GPU acceleration?  Other system requirements?

    Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
    Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
    Dell Studio with Intel Q9400 quad core; 8GB RAM; 750GB hard disk.
    Currently using integrated graphics, but there is a PCI x16 slot available.

    >Does LR2 use GPU acceleration as Photoshop CS4 does?
    No
    >Do you think this machine will run LR2 for some time to come:
    Yes that's more than beefy enough. To use that 8 gigs, make sure you run 64-bit windows vista on it.

  • Need help in configuring CHARM with R/3 System landscape with seven systems

    Hi All,
    we are planning to configure CHARM for our R/3 landscape.our current STMS includes seven systems.in the current STMS the transports flow as below.
                  D20->C20->C21->C22->C23->T20->P20
    we require the transports to move in the same way as stated above even after CHARM is configured
    1.please let me know if we can configure CHARM with seven systems.
    2.if yes, how would the import happen( ie Action for import appears for all systems?).
    Regards,
    Anand Reddy

    HI andy,
    the transports will move in the following order.
    D20(DEV)->C20(Consolidation)->C21(integ)->C22(reg)->C23(unit)->T20(final test)->P20(production)
    transport will start in D20,then imported C20 followed by  C21,C22,C23,T20 imports and finally reach P20
    the systems are not in parallel they are one behind the other

    Each time that you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

    thanks

    cool
    i tried using logic with pb 12"
    but couldnt have any plug ins active when recording vocals or it records crackly.
    th escreen sizeis no problem, coz i set up screen sets , so f1 for 12 vocal tracks, f2 for next 12, f3 for mixer part 1, etc
    click of a button to see what you want big enough, i never really need to see all the tracks in one go
    i would have thought the ibook would have more problems than the pb !
    but maybe your studentis just using it for midi....
    which takes no power lol....
    anyone actually using a macbook with logic ?

  • Does anybody use AppleTalk anymore?

    Hi. Not sure which discussion group is most appropriate for this question, but here goes. I am taking the Cisco networking course, and I notice that many devices support AppleTalk. But that's been around for a very long time. Does anyone use AppleTalk anymore? And if so, what's the reason?
    MTIA, Matt
    PowerBook Titanium G4   Mac OS X (10.4)   Also PowerBook G3, eMac, and misc elderly models

    We use AppleTalk quite extensively within our school division. It's the old story of budget not keeping up with technology. All of our elementary school labs are still using OS 9. As well, most of our teachers' work stations are OS 9. The file servers in 10 of 17 schools are Appleshare. Therefore, we will keep using AppleTalk for quite some time. When (or more accurately - If) the budget ever catches up with technology, I expect Appletalk to lose its prevalence.
