Extracting or Backing Up AGR_1251

About 2 - 3 times a year we make an updated to a role which causes us issues only after being moved to production. The standard testing only focuses on the current change and sometimes does not capture waterfall effects. I would like to be able to extract or back up AGR_1251 as once our change is moved to production we have no record as to the objects and values associated with a role previous to the change. I often refer back to the change documents (PFCG) within our development environment but this does not appear to capture all data changed.
My problem is that there are 2.3m records and trying to run (SE16 -> AGR_1251) in the backgroud wide open and then extracting the spool is a nightmare. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there a simpler method to extraction? I would like to be able to do this about once a quarter.
Thanks,
Chris

Julius, no problem. I did inherit this but things are really not that bad.
We are a company with 35 physical plants globally and ~ 35,000 employess keeping things SOx compliant has been a challenge but definitely achievable. At the org level we have ~120 different plants and keeping roles segregate has been fun to say the least.
An upgrade from 4.6c is also a possibility in the near future so any huge changes would be rejected.
From a role design standpoint I do like the way it was originally setup.
Template roles to cover base business functionality but segregated into four categories.
1) Std SAP Tcodes Display Only
2) Std SAP Tcodes Maintanence Capability
3) Custom SAP Tcodes Display Only
4) Custom SAP Tcodes Maintanence Capability
There are then single roles derived from the template adding in the org level values.
And finally the Composite role for the Business Area, doing all these and keeping in mind SOD issues (recently upgraded from Compliance Calibrator 4.0 (Virsa) to GRC 5.3 (RAR and CUP installed to this point))
Sorry, maybe a little too much background info

Inventory Extraction Issue

Hi Gurus,
I have couple of questions here regarding Inventory extraction, and I will ask one by one:
1. I have a requirement to develop a report called " Stock Ledger Report " where the KPI's would be Quantity, Cost & Retail Price. The 2 KPI's Quantity & Costs are straightforward and the data for these come from MSEG-MENGE & MSEG-MENGE respectively. Retail Price is a bit complex since it is dependent on time and my client being a retail one their prices are subjected to change according to time. This is being calculated from different tables in the R/3 side so it's pretty clear that I have to add a custom field to my extractor.
Now my Question is, to which data source should I add the custom field, will it be 2lis_03_bx or 2lis_03_bf?
2. I started the extraction sometime back for 2lis_03_bx since that has to be extracted first, but I am getting a runtime error that says:
Short Text
    Too many parameters specified with PERFORM.
What happened?
    In a subroutine call, there were more parameters than in the
    routine definition.
    Error in ABAP application program.
    The current ABAP program "SAPLMCB1" had to be terminated because one of the
    statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class
     'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_NOT_FOUND', was neither
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure "UPDATE_CALL"
     "(FORM)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
     to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    A PERFORM was used to call the routine "F0001_UPDATE" of the program
     "RMCSA278".
    This routine contains 4 formal parameters, but the current call
    contains 5 actual parameters.
    parameters.
The first thing I did was to check for the OSS notes 315880 and 353042 that have to be installed in the R/3 system to perform the data loading. I got this from the SAP White paper, How to handle Inventory scenarios in BW.
I didn't find these notes in my R/3 system here, so I searched for these nodes in market place. The first note didn't make much sense to me where as the 2nd note was about how to activate the transaction key (PROCESSKEY).
According to what was mentioned in market place, in order to work with the Inventory extractors I have to activate the determination of the PROCESS KEY. So how do I know which PROCESS KEY corresponds to my requirement ? I could see all the process keys in the Transaction key maintainence for BW in SBIW.
My Question is if these 2 OSS notes are installed. will the issues be resolved ??
Thanks,
Guru.

Hi
check this SAp note for your dump

Hey Brian,
Sorry I mistook your reply, am stuck with too much of work buddy, working on Inventory scenarios as well as POS DM too....your answers sounds cool. I will definitely try that once am done with the issue of running the setup tables and actually I think you suggestion would definitely work in my scenario since my client s a retail client and their prices change with time.
Can you also tell answer me with regard to my 2nd question.
Thank you so much

Extracting Flash Builder 4 fails (Windows 7)

Dear all,
as the heading indicates I have a problem of extracting Flash Builder 4 from its original download file (FlashBuilder_4_LS10.exe). It doesn't work on a fresh Windows 7 installation. The program tells me that it is preparing the files to be extracted and then nothing.
I tried the extract on a Windows 2003 Server machine and there it works. However, it is also a problem the copy the extracted files back on my Windows 7 machine. It get stuck in the process of copying.
Now I zipped the directory and was able to copy to my Windows 7 machine. But... installing the IDE stops at 15% and is adding to the time remaining to install (currently at 50 minutes and rising)
Have you had this problem before? If so, any workaround for it?
Cheers, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I guess the file FlashBuilder_4_LS10.exe was corrupted during download. Did you use the same exe on Windows 2003 Server machine, where the extraction went fine? If not, can you download the exe again, and try running it?
Thanks,
Sudhir

What is the "Extract" button at the bottom the DNG converter dialog box for ?

Does anyone know ....
What is the "Extract" button at the bottom the DNG converter dialog box for ?
THANK YOU

In DNG Converter you have an option to embed the original RAW files (CR2, NEF etc) into the DNG file (see screenshot). Later you might want to extract them back, for example, for converting in camera-maker's own software.
So, if you have any DNGs with original RAWs embedded, Extract button will get them back.

Extract Filter is sorely missed.

Can anyone tell me why Adobe doesn't want us using the Extract filter? Was it created by someone they don't like? Some copyright issue? There is nothing that works like it or replaces it. I am very frustrated! I am creating my psd files in CS4, then opening in CS6 to do the rest. I WANT MY EXTRACT FILTER BACK!

As far as I can tell one cannot save intermediate steps with Extract per se.
But quite frankly I have a hard time imagining what image/task would justify spending two contiguous hours in that feature.
Maybe you could work around it with the old Channel-methods or combine Masks arrived at both from extract as well as the various Selection-methods.

APO/BW: How to get back from APO to BW/ How the send data from BW to APO

Hi,
1. I read that BW is the data layer for APO DP and therefore, I expected data to flow from BW, the data layer, to APO DP but not the reverse. Yet, I also read that data can be transferred from Livecache back to BW by using the extractor technology from BW. Can you clarify this for me?
2. If possible, please provide the steps to use this extractor technology to extract data back to BW in detail so that I can try it.
Thanks

Hi Amanda,
1. The data flow is from BW to APO, and from APO to BW.
from bw to apo, to feed planning area, characteristic value combination, in APO we have infocube to feed the data, as we know APO has BW inside (all the tcodes RSA1 etc are valid), datamart scenario is used here, we create infocube in APO, update rules, infosource and assign datasource from BW.
The data flow from APO to BW, to get the plan data inputted by user, we generate datasource in APO from planning area (compare with 'generate export datasource' from infocube), transaction /SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR. 'extractor technology' here in practice is just like when we are using datasource
take a look
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/c9/199170f13711d4b2f20050da385632/frameset.htm
2. as mentioned in #1, you can use the transaction /SAPAPO//SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR to handle planning area-datasources in APO, or /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN - planning area; choose your planning area, and menu extractor tools (or generate datasources), again datamart scenario is used here, after the datasource generated in APO, it's replicated in BW (APO act as source system), the rest steps are just same as when extract data from other SAP source system
simply what you need to practice is /SAPAPO/SDP_EXTR to 'generate export datasource', the rest steps should be familiar already for you

How can I back-up folders that I've created within my Thunderbird e-mail program?

When I took my computer in to Best Buy, where I purchased it, I was told that they could not extract and back-up the info in the various e-mail folders I created within Thunderbird. This was unacceptable to me in that I want that info, so I'm asking how I can create a folder(s) in Thunderbird that can be backed up should it be necessary to wipe my hard drive/operating system clean?
Thank you.
LW

First take your computer to a REAL repair shop, not Best Buy.
Mozbackup is the best for backing up Firefox and Thunderbird.
Your profile is where your email and settings are stored. It is just a file like any other and any competent computer person would know this and be able to back it up for you. TheGeek Squad does not employee any of these.

Can an Extract Process be stopped?

Hi can a extract process be stopped, i know we can stop replicat process, since extract is the one which stores changes of DB and sends to replicat, even replicat is stopped or abended we can assure that still trails exits and we can bring DB to sync.
What is the case if extract process got abended or stopped abruptly, what is the immediate solution to bring DB to sync?
Anybody can you guide me how to bring DB to sync if extract is stopped or abended?
Thank You

Hi,
Yes, Extract can be stopped for brief period of time as part of maintainance and can be started later. Extract may be stopped as part of planned mantainance or may get abended due to various issues, in such scenarios it can be restarted. When it restarts it starts processing the data from recovery checkpoint.
Recovery Checkpoint - The position in the data source of the record containing the oldest transaction not yet processed by Extract.
Current Checkpoint - The position of the last record read by Extract in the data source.
As part of Recovery checkpoint and current checkpoint information below details are also stored respectively.
Thread # - The number of the Extract thread that made the checkpoint, if Oracle GoldenGate is running in an Oracle RAC environment. Otherwise, this statistic is not displayed.
Sequence # - The sequence number of the transaction log where the checkpoint was made.
RBA - The relative byte address of the record at which the checkpoint was made.
Timestamp - The timestamp of the record at which the checkpoint was made. SCN The system change number of the record at which the checkpoint was made.
Redo File - The path name of the transaction log containing the record where the checkpoint was made.
So when Extract starts processing, it will start from the redo log file and RBA mentioned in the Recovery checkpoint (which is the point of unprocessed transactions in redo log file) and processes the data and moves ahead. Once the Extract and downstream Replicat lag is ZERO then the target DB will be in sync with the source DB.
So whenever you are stopping the Extract as part of planned maintainance or it may be abrupt abend due varios reasons, make sure that you have all the redo log files from the recovery checkpoint till current timestamp when you start the Extract process back again. This will allow Extract to process all the information available in redo log files from recovery till current timestampa and will alow target to sync.
Thanks & Regards

IPod Touch Won't Update to iOS5 without error message (-43) stating all contents will be deleted. How can I update without everything being deleted?

Hi there,
I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation (Model A1318). For the last several months I keep trying to update to iOs 5 and it gets stuck during the backup phase and an error message pops up:
As half of my songs are not iTunes purchases, therefor not on the cloud, I do not want to start from scratch and have everything deleted. Also, Apple does not allow you to extract songs back off the pod easily to backup, so it would present a serious hassle reuploading hundreds of songs from CDS etc. Can anyone help explain this message? Has anyone hit continue with the update occurring smoothly without anything being erased? Any guidance much appreciated. I tried several times disabling my anti virus software during the process like others have said on the boards and in the Apple store but the same message and outcome. For reference, I'm using Windows Vista and the most recent iTunes 10.6.1.

See my response to your other post.
The automatic iTunes backup does not contain any synced items like apps, music (either iTunes purchases or not). There is no difference in what is backed up. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

Working on ETL tools interoperability using Common Warehouse Model (CWM)

Hi All,
Its just a piece of information and not a question.
I have been working on proving the ETL tools interoperability using Common Warehouse Metamodel(CWM), an OMG standard. The whole concept is to take out the metadata from an ETL tool say OWB and put it into CWM Metadata Repository and this metadata can be used for building the same project in any other tool say Informatica or may be in the same ETL tool.
The main thing in this process is to map each ETL tool with the CWM concepts and then using Model to Model Tranformations(Technologies like Xtend) one can set up a communication between different ETL tools.
Till now I have worked with OWB only. I, with my team, have extracted all information from an OWB project (which has medium level of complexity like two oracle modules(schemas) and few tables, views and mappings with various operators) and put it in CWM repository and extracted it back from CWM MDR to OWB itself. We haven't worked with any other ETL tool because of the unavailablity of any other ETL tool with us. We will be working with Pentaho kettle in near future and try to prove the whole process as two way communication.
The whole process can be described in steps as below :
1. Creation of a manual OWB Ecore model(model representaion in Eclipse Modelling Framework) which gives all dependencies and reletionships in OWB objects like Project,OracleModule etc.
2. Creation of CWM ecore model from Rational Rose mdl which has been provided by OMG on their site.
3. Generation of Java code(Gen Model) from the above mentioned ecore model(It is needed to create an object from OWB).
4. Extraction of project from OWB using public views which has been exposed by OWB itself. You can refer to [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/owb.102/b28225/toc.htm|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/owb.102/b28225/toc.htm] link for OWB public views and other APIs.
5. (Actually Step 4 is a part of this step only )Writing a Java code which has JDBC connection for accessing OWB public views and Ecore model as imported java files(Step 3 has been done for this part only). This java code will return an OWB project object(instance of the Ecore model) which will be used in further steps.
6. Writing an Xtend code to do a model to model tranformation from OWB to CWM.
7. Writing an Open Architecture Workflow to combine all the steps in one step which will take the output of java code(step 5) and put it into Xtend Code(step 6) and then will take the output of Xtend code and give it to the XMIWriter(an OAW component) to write an XMI which is actually a CWM Ecore Model instance.
8. Saving above XMI(CWM model instance) to the CWM MDR using Hibernate and Teneo.
In the same way we can extract metadata from CWM MDR and put it into OWB. But the only problem with OWB is that we cannot persist OWB object in OWB repositories as OWB tables are very cryptic and tough to understand. So for that we have used TCL scripts(OMB Plus scripts) to create a project in OWB using OWB ecore instance. You can refer to the above oracle documentation link for TCL scripts.
Let me know if I can assist you if you are working on the same.
You can mail me for any queries. My email id is [email protected].
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi
1. Why do we need to install another standalone HTTP server in a separate home? Where do we use that server?
DA: The separate HTTP server is for the Workflow Monitor, which is not necessary (it has some use cases mind you).
2. To make the OWB work correctly while using ETL features, do we always need to run Workflow Configuration Assistant, because I wasn't able to generate code from OWB editor after building a mapping while Workflow Configuration Assistant wasn't running.
DA: Not necessary, what error did you get? Mappings can be designed, deployed and executed without Workflow. Workflow can be used for orchestrating the the mappings (ie .running a bunch of them in a specific order with others tasks).
3. Whenever I try to save my work in OWB, I get an error , message : Preference.properties (Access is denied). Though it saves my work but I don't understand why I am getting this error. It looks like OWB is trying to access some Property from the Preferences (Tools menu) but can't access.
DA: It sounds like the directory where you have installed OWB does not have permissions for the OS user you are executing it. Is the install user different from the execution user? Either run using the installed user, or change the permissions of the directories (grant the executing user write permissions under all directories under owb).
4. I also get error while closing the Mapping Editor :-
DA. same issue as 3.
Cheers

How Can I Retain Sent Messages When Re-Doing Email?

i would like to delete an email account and re-add it to fix something but i don't want to lose my sent messages. i know incoming message will be retained as they stay on the server. i called bb support and a level one person told me that my sent messages are synced with my mail server and will still be on the server. uh this is so not true. maybe it is for IMAP or Outlook but not with POP3.
i would like the retain my sent messages on my phone and not lose them to re-add an email account. can anyone help? thanks.

Hello,
I've been thinking about this, and I don't think there is a simple way at all. With other than POP, sent items do indeed get populated to the server. But POP has much less capability than others, and therefore the server just can't accept the placement of items into it's Sent Items folder within the mailbox. It's a POP limitation.
About the only thing I can think of would be for you to take a backup of your device. Then find a PC-based 3rd party backup file extraction utility and extract those specific items. Then, after you remove and re-add the account, you'd have to find a way to re-import the extracted items back to your BB. I don't know anyone who has tried such a thing, so I really am unsure of any details within this process...so you might have to do some further digging, and there may be no success path at all to be had.
Then again...it's also possible that removing the email account from the device won't actually wipe out the items. They may be retained on the device, but simply not be accessible while the email account is dis-associated. Re-associating the account might re-attach the items and make them visible. This is a theory, mind you...not anything that I've tested.
In any event, with POP there are severe limitations to what can be done. If you really have to preserve those sent items, you should first forward them to yourself so that they become part of your inbox and therefore are on the server (albeit as an inbox item rather than a sent item). Just in case.
Good luck!

Time Machine won't backup – but no error message

Hi community,
I'm using TimeMachine with MacOs Version 10.6.8, on an iMac with an 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 Processor.
Actually, I was pretty happy with it for several months, never had any error messages.
But suddenly, TimeMachine started to backup the same files over and over again. It created new folders with the current and correct date, but in the folders there are no "new" files, even if there are numerous of new files on my hard drive.
So I thought, perhaps there's not enough space left on my external drive, so I bought a new one. Same problem here. It backed up correctly a few weeks, then it started to back up the same files over & over again.
My hard drive has a capacity of about 1 TB, my USB drive is a Samsung with 600 GB Capacity, formatted with MacOS Extended (Journaled)
Space used on my hard drive: 417 GB, free space on my USB drive: 252 GB > haha, that's probably the problem, but I thougt TimeMachine erases the older files on the external drive if there is no more space left?
And: why isnt't there an error message, then?
Hope anyone can help! Thanks in advance!

IPhone won't backup, but no error message

Hi!
I got a message this morning saying that my iPhone hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. I thought this was odd as I have it set to automatically back up, but I plugged it in today, connected to wifi, and tried a manual backup. I'm not getting any sort of error messages, but when the backup seems to be finished, I still see "Last backed up to iCloud: 12/17/12 at 10:06 PM." According to my phone, I still have 3.9 GB out of 5 available in iCloud storage, and I can't think of what the problem could be. Please help!
