File management - changing "managed" to "referenced"

I've imported several thousand images as managed files and would like to change them to referenced to conserve disk space.
What is the easiest way to do this? And can it be done without disrupting the order of my folder/project hierarchy?
Thanks,
M

1. Select the images.
2. File>Relocate Masters...
3. Tell it where to move the masters to, including a sub-folder format if you want.
4. There is no step 4.
You'll see little alias badges added to the images in the Viewer pane, apart from that you won't see any functional difference within Aperture, assuming the HD with the referenced files on is mounted.

Solution Manager Change Management Master Guide

Hi
We are looking into implementing Solution Manager 7.0 and have the
following questions:
- Can we implement change managment in Solution Manager with only one
satellite system (i.e. Development) as the other systems are not ready
yet (i.e. Test, QA etc.)?
- Could you let us know where we can find the master or technical guide
to setup change management in Solution Manager 7.0.

Hi,
it is possible to implement ChaRM even not all satellite systems are available yet.
I am not sure how much functionality you will get using virtual systems but you may configure and test ChaRM using 3 different clients in your DEV system (need to adjust TMS config accordingly).
Some useful information regarding ChaRM configuration can be found [here|/people/dolores.correa/blog/2008/07/26/first-steps-to-work-with-change-request-management-scenario]
Since ChaRM relies on Service Desk you should also have a look at appropriate Blogs.
Also you should follow the IMG documentation/steps in SPRO.

Solution Manager Change Management: Transport Request Administration

Hi.
We want to use the CHARM functionality of Solution Manager to improve our transport operations. We have several customers and expend´s a lot of time making tranports to different systems.
I don want to activate CHARM completely. Which activities do i must perform, and which activities do i must leave ?
Regards
Alvaro

Hi Avinash
This is the Business Scenario: Our company is using SAP Solution Manager to perform monitoring and administration activities for over than 30 customers.
Dayly we espend over 85% of the basis team time making transport for all of the customers. We decide to set some internal politics to bundle transports, stablishing several releases of them, at specific hours of the day. So we want to use SOLMAN`S change logistics instead of CHARM Scenario to control and improve this activitiy, releasing time to perform other activities.

Help required in OCM-Order change management

Hi All,
I have to implement the Order change managment. I did few setting which are required and than i created ECR using release key. but using OCM it tells me to first make the changes in MATERIAL BOM than using transaction COCM i can make the changes in required production order.
But my requirement is i want to change the Production BOM or Production routing directly without touching Material BOM .
As sometime it happens only 1 or 2 Order BOM s are need to be changed only not the Material bom. So i want to track the Changes made in Order using OCM.
What is the solution that i can change the Production Bom OR Production Routing directly using OCM and also how can i make the changes in Sales Order.
Pls do the needful.
Thanks
Ravi Khurana

Using Order Change Management (change management for production orders), it is possible to include existing procurement elements (production orders, planned orders, purchase orders) that are also affected by a change, in the change process.
The change process in OCM is based on Initiating Objects. These initiating object records refer to changes in sales orders or in master data, which, in turn, necessitate changes to production orders.
Thus, it is not possible to change the order directly using OCM.

Change Management Software

Hi,
Are there any formal software tools to document and manage Change Management
Thanks,
Suneela.

Hi,
From a process point of view, consider using the following. I have found these to be interlated so you keep revisiting them as the activity progresses and keep on refining and updating them.
-Draw up process maps for the current process and the way it is expected
to be, and run a gap analysis.
-Perform a stakeholder analysis
-From the stakeholder analysis, draw an influence map
-Identify the cost of change for the stakeholders based on the gap
analysis. Remember that is this context, most costs are not financial.
-Develop a communications and training plan.
Reward points if found helpfull...
Cheers,
Siva.

SAP MDM7.1 Change Management CTS+ Queries

Hi.
I have few doubts on Change management CTS+ , Kindly please suggest!
1) Is it based on ABAP Stack / or do we need ABAP System for this ?
2) How transport can be handled ? from PI to MDM system?
3) What can we transport ? is it everything or some limitation are there during transport?
4) Can we transport the changes for repository?
Please suggest !
Regards,
Harmony

Hi Harmony,
1) Is it based on ABAP Stack / or do we need ABAP System for this ?
You need an SAP NetWeaver AS Java and an SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP. SAP recommend that you use the SAP Solution Manager. The systemu2019s Support Package Stack must be NetWeaver 7.0 EHP1 or higher.
2) How transport can be handled ? from PI to MDM system?
I didn't get you here exactly. If you mean how to transport MDM in the system landscape, then it works as: The deployment of MDM specific transport orders in the current version is done with provisioning the change files to the CTS+ outbox folder defined for the MDM target system, where the MDM administrator has to pick it up for manual MDM deployment.
3) What can we transport ? is it everything or some limitation are there during transport?
With MDM 7.1 the following data model objects can be transported from a source system to a target repository:
1. Tables & Fields
2. Relationships
3. Languages
4. Roles
5. URLs (Web Links)
6. XML Schemas
7. Remote Systems
8. Ports
9. Validations and Calculations
10. Assignments
11. Workflows (new with MDM 7.1)
12. Import Maps (new with MDM 7.1)
13. Syndication Maps (new with MDM 7.1)
14. Matching Rules including Matching Strategies (new with MDM 7.1)
4) Can we transport the changes for repository?
Yes, we can manage the transport changes for a repository using Change Extraction Process. It consists of following steps:
1. Defining a basic reference before starting to perform the data model changes (this basis will later be referenced to extract the changes done).
2.Extracting the changes to a MDM change file (.xml file).
3.With The Change extraction automatically a new reference is created to be able to calculate the next set of changes to be extracted.
For complete details, Please refer the below guide:
[Setup and Use the MDM Change Transport with CTS+ Transport Management Environment|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0dd1ae0-36e5-2b10-f8b4-e6365e643c0b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]

10.6.4 AFP - ACLs - Workgroup Manager :: changes need reboot to take affect

hello community
still new to OSX Server I am a bit confused regarding changes made to
AFP - ACLs - Workgroup Manager
do changes really need a server reboot to take affect?
scenario:
*Workgroup Manager ...*
User1
User2
User3
GroupFolder1 :: Members -> GroupSubFolder1.1 + GroupSubFolder1.2
GroupSubFolder1.1 :: Members -> User1
GroupSubFolder1.2 :: Members -> User2
*AFP shares & folders with ACLs ...*
Folder1 :: ACL read for GroupFolder1
SubFolder1.1 :: ACL read for GroupSubFolder1.1
SubFolder1.2 :: ACL read for GroupSubFolder1.2
(SubFolder1.1 + SubFolder1.2 are nested into Folder1
to make it clear)
this workz perfect!
if I now switch in Workgroup Manager the memberships to eg.
*Workgroup Manager ...*
User1
User2
User3
GroupFolder1 :: Members -> GroupSubFolder1.1 + GroupSubFolder1.2
GroupSubFolder1.1 :: Members -> User2 + User3
GroupSubFolder1.2 :: Members -> User1
this will only take effect when rebooting the server.
I tried to ...
start/stop AFP
restart ldap, by deselectingsaving/selectingsaving the SSL cert for OpenDirectoryService
restart the clients
nothing helped but restarting the MacMiniServer
server and all clients are running 10.6.4
cannot be that one has to reboot the whole machine to make AFP - ACLs - Workgroup Manager changes take effect?
ok I am running a rather small setup, but what if ya want to integrate a new user into a bigger environment? this will lead to a disconnect for all users connected or an "over-night-wait-time" for the new user, whilest scheduleing a reboot somewhere in the night? but even then what if people are connected in different timezones overseas via vpn?
where is the hook to make the settings take effect immediately after saving the changes?
any other info I can provide to reproduce/solve the issue?
rgds,
g.

tried to correct my spelling, please bare with me I am no english native

Well that suggestion from the site referenced above about tearing the OD down, deleting the slapd.conf files and bringing it back up didn't work. 10.5 servers still see changes in OD as they happen and 10.6 servers don't see the change until around 10 minutes later.
Anyone run across this and fixed it?

Can I change managed Aperture Library to a preferenced one?

Hi!
So, is it possible somehow change managed library to a preferenced library? I think it would be easier to have preferenced library if I would like to use some other programmes in addition to Aperture. I have my photos included in my old folder structure also. I imported pics from that folder structure into Aperture's library. Thanks for any advice!
Jonne

This is easily done by selecting the files you want to change from Mastered to Referenced, and choosing the menu option Files>Relocate Masters.
You can use custom name formats, which also include the ability to create subfolders based on certain criteria. See pages 139 and 105 in the Aperture User Manual for information on this procedure. It is available from the Help menu.

Unable to add File Server Resource Manager Tools on Windows Server 2012 - Errors on restart and roll back install

Unable to install Windows Server 2012 Feature - [Tools] File Server Resource Manager Tools.
Installs, however when I restart the server error messages appears saying feature unable to install, windows reverting changes.
In the Setup event logs have the following information message "Update FSRM-Infrastructure of package FSRM-All failed to be turned on. Status: 0x800f0922"
Does anyone have any idea's on why this Feature can not be installed ??
Scott

Hi Shaun
Tried both of your suggestions, however neither strategy worked.
Strategy 1
Tried installing via powershell - "install-windowsfeature -name fs-resource-manager -includemanagementtools"
Feature un-installed itself during the restart.
Attempted to use the command "DISM /online /remove-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services". However
this did work because one the Service was'nt installed or two because there was no command option for "/remove-feature"
PACKAGE SERVICING COMMANDS:
/Add-Package - Adds packages to the image.
/Remove-Package - Removes packages from the image.
/Enable-Feature - Enables a specific feature in the image.
/Disable-Feature - Disables a specific feature in the image.
/Get-Packages - Displays information about all packages in the image.
/Get-PackageInfo - Displays information about a specific package.
/Get-Features - Displays information about all features in a package.
/Get-FeatureInfo - Displays information about a specific feature.
/Cleanup-Image - Performs cleanup and recovery operations on the image.
Strategy 2
Tried installing via powershell, using the following command DISM
/online /enable-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services, however got the same result, the install backed out during the restart.
All up back to where I started?

A note on Setup Manager - Application Change Management Pack

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan, Development manager for iSetup and Setup Manager. I am happy to begin my note with the launch of Application Change Management Pack 3.1. For those who are not aware of Application Change Management Pack, it is a new product built on top of Oracle Enterprise Manager and comprises of three major modules namely Setup Manager, Customization Manager and Patch Manager. You can find more information about this pack here (LCM: Oracle Application Change Management Pack Setup Manager is enhanced and advanced version of iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager. There were good amount of reasons to re-architect iSetup on Oracle Enterprise Manager as Setup Manager.
Why Setup Manager?
Ability to migrate to data over point releases of EBS – EBS comes up with rollup patches on top of major releases periodically. It means that you have to certify the patch before it get deployed on to production which means that setup data are to be certified again. iSetup cannot connect between 12.0.4 to 12.0.6 or 12.0.6 to 12.1.1. We have achieved the data migration for above scenarios in Setup Manager (11i to R12 is not supported in Setup Manager)
Projects – Setup Manager supports grouping of Extracts, Transforms, Loads and Reports as a single entity and can be deployed multiple times to multiple targets. The project consists of one or more tasks (of type Extract/Load/Transform/Report) and can be orchestrated according to your ends. Project execution supports scheduling which means that you can use this feature to sync up setup data between two instances at periodic internal. Projects can be shared with other users which is remarkable difference between iSetup and Setup Manager. You can share your projects with others in a combined development environment. The functional configuration data (Extracts) are stored in Oracle Enterprise Manager. This means that you can refresh EBS without losing Extracts.
Integration with Change Approval mechanism – Execution of projects is integrated with change approval mechanism which means that you can control who executes what. Also, you have fine grain access control where you can control EBS targets assigned to a user.
Offline Transformation – I would say this is the most unique feature of Setup Manager and as an implementer you would welcome this feature very much. iSetup has got very limited capability on Transformation. Here we have gone way ahead and support Transformation on almost all Setup Objects. We present you the extracted data in excel sheets. You can download the excel template and work offline. All the attribute value fields in the excel sheet are editable which means that you supply your own value. For example, you can download Operating Unit data in xls file and change operating unit “OU100” to “OU200” and upload it back to system and load to target instance. Please note that any attribute of Operating Unit setup data can be edited. Also, system has got intelligence and once you upload the excel sheet, it automatically changes all the inventory organization which belongs to “OU100” to “OU200”. This behavior can be controlled using attribute mapping which you can create in Setup Manager. Hold on, this is not the end, also you can add more operating unit in excel, say OU300 and OU400 and load it to target instance. You can delete few Operating Units from extracted data in excel sheet and load the remaining to target instance. This gives you complete flexibility to manage (add/edit/delete) functional configuration data offline. This is fantastic feature and please have a look at how it works.
Advanced Filtering – Filter support in iSetup is not flexible where you cannot use comma separated values and complex sql join conditions. Also you do not know what query is executed behind the scenes to the data. All this problems are addressed in Setup Manager 3.1. We show you the “select clause” (SQL) associated with interface and provide you a text field where you can refer the select clause and provide your own custom where criteria (SQL). This means that filter support is unlimited and you can set filter any database columns. For example, you can extract “Responsibilities/Menu” which are active or created as on yesterday. You can extract all Operating Units excluding “OU100 and OU200”. We support all filter criteria that are supported by SQL.

Hi,
your note very interesting. Is there any other way to extract the configuration using SQL? not using Enterprise Manager? hope this will be fastest way then using GUI base.
Thanks,
Fahmi Fahlevi

Can you provide links to any tutorial or example (screenshots) of using Setup Manager to transfer something between two environments (say Users or DFFs)?
Thanks,

Configuration change management for SBO !?!?

Hi friends,
Is there any "Change Management" tool or feature which could help to keep track of the changes made in the SBO configuration ?
I was wondering that if we could have all the configuration data in plain text, we could keep trak of the changes in the configuration by just diffing the file against the previous baseline.
Does any of you know whether it´s possible ? Or even have an on idea how to do this ?
Thanks in advance,
Paulo Garcia

Hi Paulo,
SBO does track changes to some configuration data. You can find this in the AADM table (which is the history log of the OADM table). This covers a lot of what's in the General Settings and Company Details windows. You can access the change log and see the previous setttings by choosing Tools--Show History from the top menu.
Alternatively, you could maybe use Copy Express to export configuration data in to an XML file. I'm not sure how user-friendly that would be in terms of easily seeing the differences.
Kind Regards,
Owen

How to control permissions in KM using File System Repository Manager

Hello everybody
I have a scenario with 15+ file servers which content needs to be mapped into Portal KM as read-only.
Windows Authentication is configured on the portal, so the users don't need to supply the portal with username/password.
Now the users are of course only allowed to see the same content in the portal as they can see on the file servers. I know that the permission mapping can be done using a File System Repository Manager with W2KSecurityManager, but in that case the users will have to maintain the mapping of rights from windows to portal manually. And with ever-changing passwords this is too big an administrative task. So I am looking for another solution.
My question is therefore:
How can you configure the File System Repository Manager in a way where it the user does not need to maintain "user mapping" manually, but only need to logon to the portal (through windows authentication) and can see the same files from the portal as he/she can see from the file servers.
Can this information in some way be taken from the configured Windows Authentication? Or is the only solution to enable WebDav on the file servers and and follow the "Integration of Windows File Servers into the SAP KM platform Using SSO and the WebDAV Repository Manager"-guide?
Any help will be rewarded.
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard

Hi again Dirk
I just studied the "Integration of Windows File Servers into the SAP KM platform using SSO and the WebDAV repository manager"-guide in depth and I don't quite understand what rights the cmadmin_service and notificator_service are supposed to be given in the Active Directory. In the guide it says:
"A number of global services and repository services need to perform operations on resources in various repositories. For example, the index management service must read all resources it is meant to index. When an index is created, the service user index_service is used. Therefore, this user has to have at least read access to all repositories that are to be indexed. Other users that are used by the SAP KM platform are the service users notificator_service and cmadmin_service. When a search is taking place, it is the user that is currently logged on to the portal."
I dont quite understand what the two service users are doing but more importantly, I need to give the two service users the correct permissions in the Active Directory (or through user mapping). I understand that index_service only needs read_only permissions, but what permissions should the cmadmin_service and notificator_service be given?
Best regards,
Martin
