Error while creating request list Unable to detect the SAP system directory

We are upgrading SAP BW (NW 7.0 EHP1) to SAP BW (NW 7.3)
source OS: Windows 2008 R2, source DB: MSSQL server 2008 R2 SP1 CU3
I had started the upgrade by running: STARTUP.BAT
I had started the DSUGui on the server (CI / DB on the same server) from: D:\usr\sap\BP1\upg\sdt\exe\DSUGui.bat
I ran both programs (run as administrators).
Once SAP Gui connects and was able to create userid/ password and when ready to start the initialization phase (click next)
gives me the error
Error while creating request list - see preceeding messages. Unable to detect the SAP system directory on the local host
I had tried STARTUP.BAT "jce_policy_zip=Z:\export-import\downloads\jce_policy-6' and still the same error.
I had started DSUGui.bat with trace and the trace file contents are

Error while creating a list view

Hi Friends,
When I try to create a new view for a list, I get this error message:
"This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for the list, ask your administrator to modify the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold"
I tried to apply filters for the list to reduce down the results but still the same problem.
I'm very keen for an answer to this question. I've researched a lot but couldn't find any help. Your advice will be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi
a. introduce more filters to reduce the number of items in your view
b. ask your admin to modify the default value ( isn't a suitable option, because will affect your farm's performaces )

Error while creating task list

Hi All,
I am configuring change management , i have created project and assigned logical component for that when i create task list it gives below error .
For object /TMWFLOW/M , number range interval 01 does not exist
Message no. NR751
Diagnosis
The database table NRIV has the delivery class 'C', i.e. the SAP default settings are only in client 000.
Procedure
Create the missing number range interval in customizing.
Transaction code:
I have already maintained number ranges.
Thanks
Santosh

Hi ,
Make sure you maintain the number range interval to be no. "01" and not "1" or anything else. I kept getting the "Error reading information for number range object /TMWFLOW/D" (and /M/ and /V) even though I had added the number range interval as described in the manual. As soon as I deleted the interval "1" and put it back with "01" that check passed and I could create a task list.
Thanks

Hussein,
One thing which I noticed now is in the apps Tier the
tnsnames.ora under $TNS_ADMIN
shows entry like this:
PROD=
        (DESCRIPTION=
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsServerName>)(PORT=1521))
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<dbServer>)(PORT=1521))
            (CONNECT_DATA=
                (SID=PROD)
        )Actually *(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsIPaddress>)(PORT=1521))* this line in the tnsnames.ora is not correct. In fact the appsServerName should be replaced with dbServerName
I deleted the tnsnames.ora and reran autoconfig but it is again recreating the same entry.
Any clue how this can be fixed?
Thanks

Hello,
I think there is something wrong with the ")" in the listener.ora : the second SID_DESC is not part of the SID_LIST.
Instead of
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ora11g)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
)It should be :
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ora11g)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
)Hope it will help.

Hi Umesh,
Please confirm your problem by as issue with the trusted system, check the link below
[Trouble trusted system|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8b/0010519daef443ab06d38d7ade26f4/content.htm]
No authorization to log on as a trusted system (trusted RC = <0 1 2 3>).
Here, the trusted return codes ( = 0, 1, 2 or 3 ) have the following meanings:
1   Calling system is not a trusted system, or security
     ID for the system is invalid.
     Solution: Create (again) the trusted system (see above).
as of in trusted system, you supposed to get the same user in both the systemm witht the respected access like S_RFCACL.
complete explanation of trusted RFCs is in note 128447.Please follow the note

Getting error while creating a new web app saying "The password supplied with the username domainname\username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again"

Hi ,
I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".

What should i do ??
Thanks in advance.

right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

Error while creating sites on entire site collection - the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator

Hi,
I am trying to create a new sub site. Everytime I try to create the site I get this error:
the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator
This applies to almost all site templates except the "blank site" template. I am logged in as System Administrator.

Issue resolved!
Don't know how but somehow, xml was added to the Blocked file types. Removing the entry did the trick.

Error while creating user in LDAP (MS ADS) from SAP Portal 7.0

Error while creating Absence as "APP-PAY-51271: The assignment is not eligible for the element

Hi,
"APP-PAY-51271: The assignment is not eligible for the element."

Hi Nandhu,
Can you check below two things which can be cause of this error:
1. The link definition of the non-recurring element which is tagged with this absence type, as a best practice this should be an open link. If the link definition and the assignment eligibility is not matching then you may receive this error.
2. If you have defined an accrual plan for this absence type,then check if the accrual plan recurring element is been tagged to the assignment for which you are receiving this error.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Created widget is not entering in the SAP system.

I have created a simple widget to directly enter in the se38 transaction in SAP-ABAP.I have created 2 files.
My tra.sap file contains---[System]

Client="100"
[User]
Name="in016508"
Password="mandar"
Language=EN
[Function]
Command=SE38
Title=ABAP Editor
Type=Transaction.
And my se38.kon file contains --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget version="4.5" minimumVersion="2.1">
   <debug>off</debug>
   <window title="Shortcut Widget">

     <onMultiClick>
            filesystem.open("tra.sap");
     </onMultiClick>
   </image>
</widget>
After executing with the help of yahoo widget engine,the widget is not able to login in SAP sysytem and giving error message as--
Input field contains prohibited characters(already deleated).
If the user is already loged on the system then widget is running fine.
widget foundation is also installed on the system.
So what is the appropriate solution to this problem?

Jaideep,
Your widget is good, but I guess takes into account the standard saplogon.ini
But what if we are not given an saplogon.ini and we just configure the SAPlogon via User Definable way, without a saplogon.ini? Then it will not find our system list (i.e. BW8) on saplogon.ini, thus widget will not work.
When executing main.sap (by the way on your article you state execute main.kon, which is wrong. It should be main.sap. When i execute, it comes back with a SAPGUI popup warning.
Logon to SAP failed.
The System description 'BW8' cannot be found in the system list.
Make sure that saplong.ini exists and choose an existing description in the system list
We do not use saplogon.ini files.
Regards,
James
