ECC6 shutdown : CIF deactivation and CIF reactivation ?

Hello,
We are running SAP ECC6 EHP5 and SAP SCM 7.02/Live Cache 7.9.
I am a sap basis guy, and it is quite difficult to perform any maintenance on ECC6 which would require a shutdown ( parameter change, kernel update, memory adjustment, ...) because of the impact it has on the CIF
I just wanted to share with you our current procedure just to determine if it is indeed a common practice.
I understand that similar issues have already been discussed on sap scn threads, but most of them concern SCM/APO shutdown, like here :
How to handle CIF before we try to apply Service Packages to SCM?
I could not find any note, best practice regarding ECC6 shutdown
So, whenever we stop the ECC6 ssytem , we need to run a CIF-DEACTIVATION job, which consists of the following steps :
No. Program name/command Prog. type Parameters
1 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_CHECK
2 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_BATCH
3 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_STOCK
4 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_SALESO
5 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_PURCH
6 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_MATERI
7 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  DEA_ATP_PLANTS
This usually takes one hour.
And then after ECC6 system is restarted , we run the CIF-REACTIVATION job which consist of the following steps :
No. Program name/command Prog. type   Parameters
1 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_PLANTS
2 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_MATERIALS
3 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_PURCH_ORDS
4 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_SALESORDER
5 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_STOCK
6 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_BATCHES
7 RIMODGEN             ABAP                  ATP_CHECK
8 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_PLANTS
9 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_MATERIALS
10 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_PURCH_ORDS
11 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_SALESORDER
12 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_STOCK
13 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_BATCHES
14 RIMODAC2             ABAP                  ATP_CHECK
15 RIMODDEL             ABAP                  ATP_ALL
16 RAPOKZFX             ABAP                  ATP_GATP
17 RCIFIMAX             ABAP                  ATP_GATP
18 RDELALOG             ABAP                  ATP_GATP
This takes 7 hours !!!
I am starting to suspect that we might not be doing the "right thing", but I am definitely not an APO expert.
Could you please kindly share your practices, thoughts ?
Thanks and Regards

HI Raoul,
No need to activate and de activate CIF when ever you stop ECC system.
Reason is you will send data to APO only When ECC is not available i.e., RFCs not working then you will set up the connections and do data transfers.
Check any data transfer is happening by directly/batch. Postpone those activities..
Prior to shut down ECC/SCM send remainders to users that the systems will not be available.
Use these 2 programs from SCM side when you have stopped ECC.
RSTRFCQ1 : Stop Outbound Queue
RSTRFCQ3 : Restart Outbound Queue.
In our project we have to postpone/stop the jobs for data transfers between ECC and APO.
However you will be having daily CIF jobs to make ECC and APO in synch. So, once you re start your ECC regular CIF jobs will activate new objects(master and trnasaction data) and will deactivate lod data.
Thanks,
Bala.

Whats the difference VGA and CIF

hi can anyone tell me what VGA and CIF mean what are the differences and which is better?

The term VGA [Video Graphics Array]is often used to refer to a resolution of 640×480, regardless of the hardware that produces the picture. It may also refer to the 15-pin D-subminiature VGA connector which is still widely used to carry analog video signals of all resolutions.
The VGA specifications are as follows:
256 KiB Video RAM
16-color and 256-color modes
262144-value color palette (six bits each for red, green, and blue)
Selectable 25 MHz or 28 MHz master clock
Maximum of 720 horizontal pixels
Maximum of 480 lines
Refresh rates at up to 70 Hz
Planar mode: up to 16 colors (4 bit planes)
Packed-pixel mode: 256 colors (Mode 13h)
Hardware smooth scrolling support
Some "Raster Ops" support
Barrel shifter
Split screen support
Soft fonts
The VGA supports both All Points Addressable graphics modes, and alphanumeric text modes. Standard graphics modes are
640×480 in 16 colors
640×350 in 16 colors
320×200 in 16 colors
320×200 in 256 colors (Mode 13h)
As well as the standard modes, VGA can be configured to emulate many of the modes of its predecessors (EGA, CGA, and MDA).
VGA is better.
The Quarter Video Graphics Array (also known as Quarter VGA or QVGA) is a popular term for a computer display with 320 × 240 resolution. QVGA displays are most often seen in mobile phones, PDAs and some handheld game consoles. Most often the displays are in a “portrait” alignment (as opposed to “landscape”) and are referred to as 240 × 320 as the displays are taller than they are wide.
The name is derived from the fact that it offers 1/4 of the 640 × 480 maximum resolution of the original IBM VGA display technology, which became a de facto industry standard in the late 1980s.
At higher resolutions the "Q" prefix sometimes means "Quad" or four times the display resolution (e.g. QXGA which is 2048 × 1536).

Ipad apple ID account is deactivated and don't know the password or security questions

I have had an ipad for 12 months, my husband created an icloud account on it ([email protected]) but since then we have never used the ipad to log into apple website, itunes etc. Recently I purchased a MAC and iphone5 and after downloading the latest itunes to then sync all 3 together the ipad then asked for apple ID and password even though it had never asked for this before. The trouble is the ipad apple ID is an icloud one, ie. an email account that belongs to Apple, so we cannot reset the password via email as we don't have access to the email, and one of the security questions answers comes up wrong all the time. Because we have tried several times to remember the password the apple ID is now deactivated and the only way to re-activate it is via email verification (impossible) or security questions (impossible). We tried connecting ipad to computer and restoring factory settings, but the ipad continues to ask for apple ID and password...help... customer service Apple in Spain has more or less told us if we can't remember the security questions or password and have no recovery email (which we don't) then basically the device is useless!!!! Urm, that ipad cost a lot of money to just "throw it away". Any advice you can give me?

They have... but it is not what you wanted to hear. Unless you can use the Apple ID and Password that was used to Activate the Device you are out of luck.

I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but I do not want to delete/lose their data

I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but since the old one was deactivated I cant update them and I do not want to delete/lose their data, re download, and start all over again. Is there anyway to go around this issue?
thanks

Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Are you running Premiere Elements 10 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" type issue.
On the Windows side of things, application of Run As Administrator as well as the User Account with Administrative Privileges has been know
to resolve some of these issues. I am strictly an Elements Windows user. What is the Mac side of the story for Run As Administrator? At any
rate, are your computer permissions in order?
Just to cover all bases, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 10?
Let us start here and then decide what next.

Shutdown immediate hangs and HVM of a database

Hi,
I have following questions,
1. What are the possible causes of SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE command hangs
and doesnt responds.
2. What do u mean by High Water Mark(HVM) of a database. Because when we
give SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE command there is message in alert log file
mentioning the HVM of a database.
3.Also is there any relationship between shutdown process taking long time to
shutdown a database and HVM of a database.
4. If the database instance is up for a long time then does it take long time to
shutdown a instance.
Thanks,
Girish A

Hello,
for 1.) view Metalink Note:375935.1. Maybe you even get an error: "SHUTDOWN: Waiting for active calls to complete". This has nothing to do with HWM but with already logged on sessions. Immediate means new connections are not able to log in, existing connetions are not disconnected at once.
for 2.) the HWM is the highest point to which datafiles have been filled up. This is the value to which you are able to shrink (if you desire to). View Metalink Note:1034330.6 for message "License high water mark" in alert.log at shutdown ("highest number of concurrent users sessions").
