Hi Fritz,
sorry for the late late reply but I didn't notice your answer.
Here are my answers:
(1) I monitored the behaviour on the CRM system, CRM 7.0, SP5
(2) The change should be implemented in the CRM system
(3) Deactivate buffering for scenarios marketing, sale and service via SM30 and table T770MATTR.
By doing this the initial load of 3.2 million business agreements took around 2 hours, with activated scenario buffering I was at least ten times slower.
After the initial load you have to activate the buffering again.
Interesting to know would be why the scenario buffering only affects the initial load of business agreements and no other object. As far as I know the scenario buffering is relevant for the organizational management.

How to - Extract data from Cloud For Customer into SAP HANA system

Hello Community,
I have a requirement for extracting the existing data from Cloud for Customer into separate SAP HANA Box.
Is it possible to achieve the same ? If yes, Please guide me for the same.
Awaiting quick response.
Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
In addition to what Thierry mentioned you could also use the C4C integration via standard Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) interfaces. This integration was acutally built for SAP BW and allows you to access any C4C data sources. From my perspective you can also build upon that for a native SAP HANA integration. Please also have a look at this guide: How To... load SAP Business Suite data into SAP... | SAP HANA.
Besides that question let me also add the following: SAP Cloud for Customer already runs on SAP HANA since Nov. 2013. You may also use the powerful built-in analytics within C4C for analyzing data and any of your reporting demands. If your report should consider external data as well, you can combined the existing C4C data source with an external, so-called Cloud Data Source. More infomation is published in the C4C Analytics Guide: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sapcloudforcustomer/en/PDF/EN-3.pdf.
I hope this helps...

My computer is converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps?

How do I stop my computer from converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps? When I download PowerPoint presentations from online for class my computer is converting the ppt files into a pps, even though I have PowerPoint. It used to download ppt files fine until recently.

Yep, this happens. I have not found a way to keep the files from downloading as a ,pps. So I use a work around. Find where you have the downloaded file. It should look something like "slides.ppt.pps." Click on the file name to edit and erase the .pps. You'll see a dialog box that asks you if you really want to eliminate the .pps. Say yes and it will be removed from the name and you can then load into PowerPoint. Hope it works for you.

Problem with initial download from R/3 to CRM

Hello All,
Initial we were able to download & replicate all object from CRM to R/3 & vice versa such as product ,BP, sales documents & conditions etc. After that <<removed>> R/3 system was refreshed by Client itself. After refresh, connectivity between R/3 & CRM is disturbed.We have observed that while initial download we are facing problem in SMQ1 & SMQ2. After debugging we found that table entry i.e. table :- CRMMLSGUID from CRM & CRMPRLS from R/3 have Logical system guid values different( which should be identical). Because of this no replication is happening between CRM & R/3. How to rectify this?
Regards
Priyanka
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Dec 9, 2011 4:37 PM

Hello,
see note 588701:
"The queues are deliberately halted since the change of the logical
system name in the R/3 backend or the linking of new R/3 backend clients
to a client of the EBP/CRM Server with the same logical system name as a
client already linked to the R/3 backend would lead to severe data
inconsistencies in various CRM applications.
For this reason, such changes are not allowed on principle. The halting
of the queues prevents such data inconsistencies. The following
situations may lead to the queues being halted:
o The logical system of a client of an R/3 Backend system linked to
       the EBP/CRM server was changed in current operation.
o A new client of an R/3 Backend system or a client of a new R/3
       Backend system was linked to an existing client of the EBP/CRM
       server where the logical system name was already assigned to a
       client of an R/3 Backend system linked to the CRM server before.
There are different cases in which different forms of processing are
required or where several options exist:
- The logical system name of an R/3 Backend client was changed
          in current operation. In this case, the data hangs in the
          outbound queues of the R/3 Backend system as specified under
          point 1 of the symptom. In this case, the logical system name
                                                                 Seite 2
must be changed back to the original value. Then the outbound
          queues can be reactivated. If no data was transferred to the
          EBP/CRM server before the change, also a correctioin of the
          check table is possible.
- The same logical system name was used again in a new client of
          an R/3 Backend system that was linked to the EBP/CRM server.
          In this case, the data is in the inbound queue of the EBP/CRM
          server with the exception GUID_FOR_LOGSYS_CHANGED. In this
          case, the queue entries which have status SYSFAIL must be
          rejected, however, not the entire queues. If the new client of
          the R/3 Backend system you have linked has exactly the same
          data as the old client and if it is meant to replace the old
          client (that is, this was deactivated), also a correction of
          the check tables is possible. In this case, the inbound queues
          can be reactivated after the correction.
The correction of the corresponding check tables or the correct
procecure in individual cases is to be agreed upon with the support of
SAP or SAP consultants at the customer site. In justified cases, SAP can
carry out the correction of the check tables.           "

Initial download taking time for CTParts in syclo inventory manager 3.2

Hi All,
While doing the Initial download in syclo inventory manager 3.2 we have observed that it is taking a lot of time for fetching the data from the complex table CTParts.
In agentry diagram CTParts complex table is showing nine fields, out of this nine fields few fields like UOM, BatchIndicator etc does not have any dependency.So can i delete those fields?
If yes, what will be the impact on application after deleting those fields .
Thanks for your help

Garima,
You need to analyze couple of things before making any program changes:-
a) Can you check if you have set filter for ctparts MDO object in SAP ? if MDO filter for plant points to user parameter "WRK' , look at value of WRK in SU3. Make sure that you have plant value maintained for WRK parameter.
b) if indeed WRK value is maintained then go to MARC and check the number of materials that exists for WRK plant. if it is too many then do you really all those materials downloaded to Mobile device ? check if you can maintain other filters values to restrict material records downloaded like material type , material group etc.
c) Check the point of bottlecheck a) whether it takes more time to execute query in SAP . b) whether it takes time to transfer data from SAP to Java layer. if so try to increase Java heap size.
d) Also look at MDO field selections for ctparts in SAP. Only select fields that you want to do.
e) Did you create additional indexes for ctparts complex table ?
f) Finally if nothing works then look at option of replacing output structure in BAPI which return CTparts with Z structure with only required 9 fields which also requires Z Java code changes for ctparts complex table.
Thanks

Import Data from Office Control (Web Dynpro for ABAP) into SAP-Table

Hello,
I have a question concerning the Office Control UI-Eelement in Web Dynpro for ABAP:
How can I import spreadsheet data from the Office Control in a SAP-table?
I have an Excel-sheet (without any data) which is shown initially in the Office Control. First the empty Excel-Sheet will be loaded and in the second step data from an alvxml-transformation will be loaded into the Excel-sheet with the method 'activatexmlsource'. This works so far. When I change the loaded data in the Office Control and save it it will be stored as XLS-File. The problem is that I'm not able to use existing Upload-FM because every function module I tried uses GUI-functions and WebDynpro has no GUI-functionality. I always get the error that data from clipboard cannot be imported.
So now the question is:
How can I import changed data from the Office control into a SAP-table staying in Web Dynpro application?
Please give some advice, if you have some useful code or ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Philipp
Edited by: Philipp Hiebler on Feb 11, 2008 10:15 AM

Hi,
Once you save to desktop again you have made some changes to that file, this file you want to upload it right.
Then in that case you need to use the FILEUPLOAD UI element right.

Initial download from crm 5 to ecc 6

Initial Download of ECC 6 customer_main to CRM works well but mapping of bupa_main from CRM 5 to ECC 6 didn't work.
In R3AS I got an short dump:
GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED_RANGE
So I tried CRMM_BUPA_MAP to send single customers and I got that error.
Partially send, receivers have errors:
I have checked all the fields in the ecc6 settings and crm5 also.
it is very urgent bec. iam at client side.

Hi Devi,
Ya now its clear. So basically you are dealing with the data exchange between the R/3 customer to CRM business partner.
As you mentioned that the CUSTOMRE_MAIN load is successful
and that means you have already done the account group to calssification mapping in R/3 transaction PIDE from R/3 to CRM. Pls check the same transaction for the data flow from CRM to R/3. Also check the number range assignment. For more detail check the best practice guide C03.

Downloading from Nikon Coolscan V into Elements 10 on a Mac os x

Before opting for a trial of Elements 10 I asked in this forum if it was possible to download images from my Nikon Coolscan V scanner onto my Mac OS X via Elements 10. I was advised that I should move the TWAIN plug-in from optional plug-ins (in applications - Elements 10 - support files - import modules) to plug-ins.
I did this after downloading Elements 10 & moved the TWAIN from the optional plug-ins folder to the plug-ins folder, a simple move. However, in neither the organizer nor the editor can I find any route to downloading from the Nikon. In the organizer - file - get photos & videos - the options are camera or card reader (trying that shows no device found), or other options dealing with importing images from the hard drive. In help, the only mention of assistance with scanners is for Windows only, & no information at all about Macs.
I'm sure I'm missing something elementary & my general ignorance of Elements 10 is probably a major factor in this - but Elements 10 looks to be a much more versatile tool than the Nikon recommended Silverfast programme (the trial of which downloaded with instantaneous ease from the Nikon). My intention is to use scanned stills in Premiere Pro CS5 so the 'marrying' of two adobe programmes seems a logical thing to aim for - if I can download & edit my stills from the Nikon scanner into Elements 10 ..any help for a novice would be appreciated greatly!
Thanks
Brian Fanning

Dear Barbara,
Thanks for your help (& education) - in Elements editor file, import gives me four options - both anti-aliased pict & pict resource open my finder & I have used the Nikon folder to seek a connection via Nikon scan plug-in 4, (which is grayed & will not open). The other options are HPscan (I have disconnected my HP scanner/printer to simplify things) & frame from video (obviously not relevant here). I have presumed to select the Nikon folder in my Finder for lack of any other logical option to select.
From your guidance I imagined file, import would name the Nikon Coolscan on the initial list in the editor, but whatever, I still do not know how to link the nikon to Elements. The Nikon scan was uninstalled previously because it was inactive on my Mac, & Nikon advised that this should be the case. I wondered if I should re-install, but when trying the Silverfast software the image was imported instantly via image/ prescan, denoting that the Nikon software was uneeded
In return for your further assistance I hereby pledge never again to confuse my imports with my downloads!!
Thanking you
Brian Fanning

sandeep dabral

Hi Sandeep,
You require a abap guy along with a basis person. Below steps are required.
Step 1: The third party ll specify the file format in which they are going to send the data.
Step 2. You need to check with the basis or a third tool to upload the file into SAP application directory tcode al11.
step 3: Then the ABAP guy will write a interface program using this BAPIs to upload the data in to catsdb.
Step 4. Then functional testing and bug fixing and finially sheduling the inteface job in Production.

Status profile for utility contracts in CRM

Hi,
Right now the status of the utility contracts created in CRM webclient remains unchanged to status 'Open'.
Create a contract - 'Open'
End a contract - 'Open'
Does anyone know if we need to allocate a status profile to the transaction type/item category in CRM? And if so which status profile should we use?
We are using IS-U specific transaction type ISUL, with the business transaction category 'BUS2000249' for the utility contract in CRM. Is there any utility specific status profile that we should use? or is this field supposed to be empty?
Kind Regards
Saima

Hello Bill,
Thanks for your reply. Are your contract status being changed although you havn't allocated a status profile to the transaction type or item category?
In your reply you said that our status issues might come from the transaction type customizing. But the only place I can see that I can customize anything regarding the status is the status field? Our contract is being replicated fine... no problems there, the only issue is that the status of the contract is not being updated....
Kind regards
Saima

How to read the data from a PDF document into SAP

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to read a PDF document from my desktop and get the data into SAP but i am not getting successful.
I am using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload and passing the filename and type and importing the file length and the data into an internal table.
I tried the file type as ASC but i couldn't get any records in the internal table and the filelength is displayed as 0.
When i tried the file type as BIN, it is giving the short dump. I guess that is because the file i am trying to read is not with the extension BIN.
Please Advice me on this

How to import the transports from the SAP Integration Kit into SAP system

Hi expert,
I read the forum "Re: Integration with SAP R/3 to realise i have not done the import of transport but i don't quite understand the statement give by "Sebastian Li".
"Unpack the SAP Integration Kit zip-file. It contains a transport-folder. Here you'll find a short manual which files you should import.
Copy the needed files on your sap-system in the correct folders:
- usr\sap\trans\cofiles
- usr\sap\trans\data
Use the transaction STMS.
Also take care of the sequence of importing. See the manual for details."
Can some one explain it in more details to me. I have unzip the SAP Integration Kit n in the transport folder got 2 more folder "ansi" and "unicode_compatible". How do i know which 1 to use? Where i should copy this files to?
Please advice.
thank you

Export movie from Premiere for import into Encore

I created an animation in 3D Studio MAX and rendered it to sequential stills for compositing in Premiere Pro 1.5. I want to export it out so it's ready for inport into Encore 2.0. I understand that Encore compresses it to MPEG-2 format while it is building the DVD. What is the best CODEC to use exporting it OUT of Premiere to get the best quality out of Encore DVD? Do I use Adobe Media Encoder or would AVI or QT give me better quality once Encore crunches it since AVI and QT are not as compressed as MPG? If AVI or QT is better, which CODEC works best Sorenson 3, Cinepak, Indeo...? Does Encore 2.0 offer VBR 2 pass?
Also, This DVD will be primarily played off of a PC so is "Progressive" the default out of Encore or is "Interlaced" From what I read, progressive is for computers and Interlace is for TV. Is that correct?
I've been reading some of the Adobe Primers on Encoding video, wow that stuff is deep...... Some what little to deep and a little too confusing.
Thanks for your words of wisdom,
Kenn Macintosh

Personally, I would export as a movie, using the MS DV-AVI type of export. Set the Audio to PCM 16/48, unless you have bought the SurCode Dolby Digital encoder.
When you import this into Encore, it will give you much better control over where you place chapter points and additionally Encore will - if you let it - use automatic transcoding for the final MPEG-2 compresssion.
The reason I suggest this is because MPEG-2 encoding is every much an art form as the filming, editing & cutting process and major studios employ people who do nothing other than encoding. It is
i unbelievably
easy to create an MPEG-2 stream that is not DVD-Video compliant.
Don't use progressive, stick to interlaced.
Progressive scan modes open up whole cans of worms.....
Good Luck.
