Help with Xi System Copy

Hi All,
I have been given a Task to refresh an Xi system with current XIP. First attempt using SAP's "System Copy for SAP
Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR2 ABAP+Java"
version July 07 failed. The above talks about doing a refresh using "SAPinst" which we cannot do, so we are doing the actual DB copy and then do the actual reconfig. I can get the ABAP stack done but the JAVA is a major problem and as soon as I bring the Java up, if an invoice or something shows up the Actual XIP gets screwed. So is there a proven Xi refresh Doc somewhere I can use.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
for No. 2, please refer to OSS-NOTE 886102.
for No. 1: not as far as i know. So it's either manually or, if it is a Qualitiy assurance system, reimport al transport requests or else, restore the sttings before the copy (out of the backup) an perform it again, using the hints out of OSS Note 886102.
BDLS only will not work.

Hi orion,
Sorry that was the impression made by the support agent. If the version of the software that you have is 3.0 or 3.2, then the catalog can be upgraded when you run the trial version of Photoshop Elements. Version 8 had no time limitations, not sure if version 9 will timeout after 30 days or not.
Just install, and when you launch, Elements will automatically convert the catalog to a format that it can read.

ECC 6 with EHP system copy

Hi,
Just a little question :
We Are on a Windows MSSQL environnement
did a fresh upgrade of our landscape ECC6 old SP -> EHP4 stack 5
made a copy of our system -> update on this copy
now I'd like to do 2 things
1 copy of the updated system on a blank computer with different SID (did not have QUAL and I'd like to create one by copying )
2 refresh the original system
For point 1
I thought about doing a basic Sapinst system copy, but everytime I did this before I was using a Installation MasterDVD containing kernel and system description file (xml)
How could I do that ?
What should be the process ?
for point 2 I have in mind to :
stop the instance
detach the DB
replace the old kernel files with the up to date kernel (copy /usr )
attach a copy of the up to date db
Will it work? What should be the process ?

Hello Edouard,
copy of the updated system on a blank computer with different SID
It is better to use SAPINST to do a system copy as your SID changes. The SAPINST will take care of the SID updation in SAP as well as in MS SQL DB.
I did this before I was using a Installation MasterDVD containing kernel and system description file (xml)
If u have the latest kernel downloaded from SAP SMP, you can use that kernel itself by mapping the path in the section SAP Syetem > Unpack Archives in the SAPINST. This will extract the new kernel into the kernel directory and thus avoiding one more manual activity to upgrade the kernel.
stop the instance
detach the DB
replace the old kernel files with the up to date kernel (copy /usr )
attach a copy of the up to date db
If u r following the afore mentioned steps, this may become unnecessary.
Hope this will definitely help you.
Good Luck. I hope to here from u whether this helped u or not.

Can anyone help with "attempting to copy. Unknown error (-69)"? Please?!

I've downloaded itunes onto my computer and connected it to my ipod nano but when i try to sync it a couple of songs are transfered but then it comes up with
"Attempting to copy to the disk "(name of ipod)" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."
I've already tried restoring factory settings, re-downloading itunes as well as the usual restarting everything and i've gone through the basic help system on this website but nothing's worked.
Any advice from those wiser than me would be greatly appreciated

See if this helps: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod

Hi,
I've been able to fully automate System Update distribution using Group Policy. this works perfectly.
I am now trying to achive the same functionality using scritps.
the problem: I get quite a few prompts for "License Agreement" - not the "master" initial one, only a few for the different installs.
here's my setup:
1. a local server is the repository.
2. I import a .reg file before installing "System Update" using an automated install.
3. after a restart, a command runs on the local machine.
here are the details:
registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update]
"LanguageOverride"="EN"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update\UserSettings\General]
"IgnoreLocalLicense"="YES"
"DisplayLicenseNotice"="NO"
"DisplayLicenseNoticeSU"="NO"
"ExtrasTab"="NO"
"RepositoryLocation1"="***my internal server here ****"
"RepositoryLocation2"=""
"RepositoryLocation3"=""
"NotifyInterval"="36000"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update\UserSettings\Scheduler]
"SchedulerAbility"="YES"
"SchedulerLock"="LOCK"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\MND\TVSUAPPLICATION]
*** network drive mapping here, this part works ***
also, I use this command to run the updates:
call "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe" /CM -search A -action INSTALL -IncludeRebootPackages 1,3,4 -noicon
I am just about desperate... I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help, hint etc :-)
Thanks for ...even trying... lol

Help with IC systems

Hi! Before I had a login on here I'd been lurking. I have made so much progress just by reading so much!
Now the current issue I'm having is with IC systems. I have two unpaid collections being reported. Does anyone have an email contact they can send me for them? I'm trying to do a PFD.
Thanks!

Contact information is on the website. I was able to get 3 accounts deleted from my account through PFD. FYI they will not a letter stating that they will delete. However, after 30 days of paying all accounts were deleted

Need help with control system that reduces a flat output signal every time a certain input exceeds given value

I'm having difficulty setting up a closed loop control system that reduces one of my voltage outputs (connected to a high voltage system) by 30% every time a measured voltage exceeds a certain threshold value. I'm using a USB 6229 DAQ. I've been trying to create a waveform that looks like a DC signal, but the only waveforms that I can seem to manipulate while my VI is running are the stock waveform types. Also, I've tried to use a formula node or conditional structure to update the output value every time the measured voltage exceeds a given value, but everything I do reinitializes the output value every time it runs or won't store the previous signal value. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 and don't have the PID or similar express VI's. I've attached the mess I've got working right now. Can anyone help? I'm really stuck!
Thanks!

HiV step down.vi ‏40 KB
output control.vi ‏100 KB

I'm sorry it's such a mess; I'm still pretty new at this. These are both little driver programs for a larger overall control program.
Output control is meant to send a flat signal to the DAQ whose value can be manipulated while the VI is running. I have the second activated segment merely to check the values being output. I didn't realize I attached a version with a meaningless control...I had a control where the user would put in the stating voltage (the high voltage source has a 1V-100V setting for external control). I've attached this slightly different but equally dysfunctional version. Ideally, I would have liked something like the analog signal generator vi to come with an input wiring for offset on the DC signal. Most of the code was diabled because it is copied from an example; it is largely rubbish. I initially used the DAQ Assistant, but when things weren't working out I switched to putting in each step manually to try to troubleshoot.
As far as HiV step down is concerned, I've tried something different with a nested case structure (if that's the right terminology?), and I've attached that file. I think this problem has been solved, but you never know!

Sun would like your help with the "System Name Already In Use" error

A couple of users have reported getting an erroneous "System Name Already in Use" error when re-registering a system after a fresh Solaris re-install. We'd like your help in tracking down this problem.
The scenario is this:
* Install Solaris 10 and register with updatemanager,
* Wipe out the installation and re-install Solaris.
* re-register with updatemanager.
The system erroneously reports that the system name is already in use. It is supposed to detect a duplicate registration of the same system.
We have not been able to reproduce this error in our lab.
If this has happened to you, would you let us know at [email protected]?
Here are the things that we would like to ask of you:
* If you run "updatemanager -debug" if will create a log file /tmp/basicreg<timestamp>.log.
* Details on the exact hardware you have (make/model/configuration).
* Details on the steps you took to get to the bad state. REALLY detailed!
Thanks!
Based on what we know now, we believe you can work around the issue by either:
* Changing the host name and re-registering.
* Creating a different user account and registering the host to that account.
Some previously-posted workarounds are known NOT to work:
* Wait 24 hours and try again.
* Do some "ccr" incantations and try again.

Hi,
Can you drop me an email as i am a sun employee and i will be able to check if the swup frontline team have received any support cases on this issue and then we can work with you directly to resolve the issue.

Need help with Inventory System

I am trying to throw together a semi-elegant inventory
viewing system for a web site I am creating. The current website is
going to be scrapped and remade relatively soon, so I really just
want a quick and dirty solution. As such, I have been using some
spry with xml datasets. I happened upon an article
here
that clued me in to a particularly interesting method of presenting
the data, so I am attempting a similar design, along with code from
spry samples (lots of cut-n-paste unfortunately, which is probably
a major reason why I have so many problems). Anyway, here is the
relevant info:
Right now I have folders for each category, with an xml file
for each size category. I arranged it this way, because I was
originally going to use straight html files for each size category
and in each folder, obviously not very practical. I played around
with the idea of putting all sizes into one file and letting some
spry+xml magic sort it out, but since I can't even get this to work
I haven't really tried it. If you experts would clue me in as to
which version might be more efficient or if you have any other
ideas please feel free to put me in my place.
Before I go any further, my main problem is the third line of
the first piece of code, I'm having trouble getting the dsStock xml
to load properly. The original example I cited above was using
Coldfusion, but I guesstimated that it wouldn't be a problem to
just load some straight xml files. Before I go any further I would
at least like to know if what I am attempting is possible.
Code to load in data for menus, category selection, and
actual inventory etc........
quote:
var dsCategories = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("diamond.xml",
"diamonds/diamond");
var dsSize = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("size.xml",
"sizes/size");
var dsStock = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("{dsCategories::@id}/{dsSize::name}.xml",
"inventory/product");
diamond.xml
quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diamonds>

<diamond
id="CU"><name>Cushion</name><img>../img/diamond/thumb/cushion_diamond_chicago.jpg</img></ diamond>
</diamonds>
size.xml

</sizes>
snip of some inventory

</inventory>
Here is the actual code in the site (this seems to work out
alright). I haven't rewritten the actual inventory portion yet,
since I can't really get it to load properly. If I can get the xml
I know that I can get it on the page.
quote:
<ul spry:region="dsCategories"
spry:repeatchildren="dsCategories">
<li class="product" spry:selectgroup="1"
spry:select="selected" spry:hover="hover"
spry:setrow="dsCategories">{dsCategories::name}</li>
</ul>
<ul spry:region="dsSize" spry:repeatchildren="dsSize">
<li class="product" spry:selectgroupd="2"
spry:select="selected" spry:hover="hover"
spry:setrow="dsSize">{dsSize::name}</li>
</ul>
Sorry for the long post, but thanks for taking the time to
give it a read and see if you can help me out. I will be eternally
grateful.

Hi StevenMig,
I'm not seeing anything obvious. Have you tried loading your
XML files directly to see if there are errors in the XML? Is your
server serving up XML files with a Content-Type of text/xml or
application/xml?
If you post a sample page, perhaps me or someone else on the
forum can take a look?

New to MAC -help with previous systems folder -this should be an easy one!

My PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) recently crashed due to some corrupt files, per the Genius Bar. I got it up and running with the Leopard upgrade disc as they recommended. Everything went well and on the HD it created a "Previous Systems" folder and everything is in there... (old applications, documents, etc. ... Now what do I do?
Do I just run the applications (iWork, MS Office, Adobe products, etc.) from that "Previous Systems" folder or should I drag and drop them to the new applications folder, or is it better to delete and reinstall all the programs again? And if I have already opened some of the applications from the Previous Systems" folder will this prevent me from moving them.
I just want to clean up my laptop and keep it simple... What is the safe and easy thing to do?
Thanks for all the help... this site is what influenced me to switch from PC to MAC !

Need a lot of help with Kinetic Systems 3988 LabView VIs.

I have a Kinetic Systems 3988 CAMAC Crate Controller. I am using the KS3988 LabView 5.1 set of VIs to communicate with the device. I downloaded this set of VIs from the NI web site. I'm new to LabView, so I'm having great difficulty. Virtually all of my commands result in time outs. Has anyone made simple LabView applications using the KS3988 set of VIs? I could really use them.

Hello,
I was unable to find any helpful application development information on the NI website regarding the 3988 VIs, but I did a search on the Internet for "3988 LabVIEW" (without the quotes) and several webpages came up (some in German) for some companies that seemed to be using the 3988 VIs in their applications. I recommend you perform a web search for more information on resources that could help you with using these VIs.
I hope this suggestion proves helpful. Have a pleasant day.

Hi,
I hope you are thinking of Creating a Table with the Same Structure as the remote database Table, If so.
You can create a Table from the Existing Table using CTAS(Create Table as Select).
Provided, you have created a Database Links between the 2 Databases. You can create a
table in your Schema as,
CREATE TABLE local_db_table AS
SELECT * FROM remote_user_name.remote_db_table@dbname;Thanks,

Help with large file copy to WKS

I need to copy a folder and all of it's contents from
\apps\reallybigfolder to each workstation at c:\putithere.
Because of the size of the file copy, I chose to create an app object
with logic that says if xxx.exe exists then do not push. Basically, I
don't want this thing to just run constantly. I need it to run one time
to each workstation on the network when the users log in.
I have tried pointing the app object to \public\ncopy.exe and then
setting the parameters the way I want them, but I keep getting an
error: "Cannot load VDM IPX/SPX Support". The two files in the folder
are copied, but the subfolders are not. I have tried using the /s/e
switches, but it does not help.
I have also tried writing a .bat file, to test it - but I get the same
results as above. So next I tried using copy instead of ncopy. I do not
get the error message, but it still does not copy any of the subfolders.
Is there another way? An easier way? I really appreciate the help.
Tony

What you are doing should work.
It sounds as if there are some other workstation issues going on.
I don't think I seen or could make the error "Cannot load VDM IPX/SPX
Support" happen if I tried. Perhaps this would happen w/o a Novell
Client installed. In such a case you could use XCOPY or ROBOCOPY.
(Robocopy is way cooler than XPCOPY and is free from MS.)
You can also use the "Distribution Tab" and the "Files" section to copy
entire directories. Just use *.* as the source.

Need help with File system creation fro Oracle DB installation

Hello,
I am new to Solaris/Unix system landscape. I have a Sun enterprise 450 with 18GB hard drive. It has Solaris 9 on it and no other software at this time. I am planning on adding 2 more hard drives 18gb and 36gb to accommodate Oracle DB.
Recently I went through the Solaris Intermediate Sys admin training, knows the basic stuff but not fully confident to carry out the task on my own.
I would appreciate some one can help me with the sequence of steps that I need perform to
1. recognize the new hard drives in the system,
2. format,
3. partition. What is the normal strategy for partitioning? My current thinking is to have 36+18gb drives as data drives. This is where I am little bit lost. Can I make a entire 36GB drive as 1 slice for data, I am not quite sure how this is done in the real life, need your help.
4. creating the file system to store the database files.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Here is the rough idea for HA from my experience.
The important thing is that the binaries required to run SAP
are to be accessible before and after switchover.
In terms of this file system doesn't matter.
But SAP may recommend certain filesystem on linux
please refer to SAP installation guide.
I always use reiserfs or ext3fs.
For soft link I recommend you to refer SAP installation guide.
In your configuration the files related to SCS and DB is the key.
Again those files are to be accessible both from hostA and from hostB.
Easiest way is to use share these files like NFS or other shared file system
so that both nodes can access to these files.
And let the clustering software do mount and unmount those directory.
DB binaries, data and log are to be placed in shared storage subsystem.
(ex. /oracle/*)
SAP binaries, profiles and so on to be placed in shared storage as well.
(ex. /sapmnt/*)
You may want to place the binaries into local disk to make sure the binaries
are always accessible on OS level, even in the connection to storage subsystem
losts.
In this case you have to sync the binaries on both nodes manually.
Easiest way is just put on shared storage and mount them!
Furthermore you can use sapcpe function to sync necessary binaries
from /sapmnt to /usr/sap/<SID>.
For your last question /sapmnt should be located in storage subsystem
and not let the storage down!
