Higher Studies in SAP/ERP

I am currently working in IBM India as an SAP Consultant. I am planning to do higher studies and it would be really great if I could find a course for doing MS in SAP or ERP area. Can you please suggest me good universities and the courses they provide in this area on which I can do an MS ( preferably in USA ).
Would really appreciate your help on this.

Hi Archana,
No unfortunately I did not have any luck finding universities with this course except for the one mentioned by Vimal. Although I found out that most universities provide a course MIS ( Management Information System ) where ERP is a part of it.
Please do let me know if you all find out any other information regarding this course.
Thank you so much !

Installing SAP ERP on DB2 with high availability

Hey Gurus,
currently we're installing SAP ERP 6 EHP 6 based on DB2 for unix and windows, this is done using the high availability option on AIX 7.1 and IBM's power HA.
We have the following architecture:
          Node A:
                    1-A host for ASCS, ERS and CI.
                    2-A host for the DB instance.
The same with node B replacing CI with DI.
Please advise on how to proceed with installation.
Also I need a bit of clarification regarding how to share (or export) the file systems between the hosts of the same node so that the CI can and DB can be connected, since as far as I know the DB installation will ask for the profile directory through the installation, while the CI will ask to see the db file systems as well as the db instance.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ahmed,
For your query
Also I need a bit of clarification regarding how to share (or export) the file systems between the hosts of the same node so that the CI can and DB can be connected, since as far as I know the DB installation will ask for the profile directory through the installation, while the CI will ask to see the db file systems as well as the db instance.
Please refer installation guide sections related to file system planning.
Here you can see the file system directory structure as well as information on which filesystems to be shared.
Attached are some screenshot for reference
Hope this helps.

Planning Disaster Recovery Site for SAP ERP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am planning for DR ( Disaster Recovery ) Site. Our current environment is
Production Site
OS        : AIX 5.3
DB        : IBM DB2      version 8.2
SAP      : SAP ERP 6.0 ECC 6
Disaster Recovery Site
OS        : AIX 6.1
DB        : IBM DB2      version 9.5
SAP      : SAP ERP 6.0 ECC 6
I have following confusion in planning the solution.
1 - If I export the data at db level from production site and import that data in DR Site ... than DR Site will be equivalent to Production Site or not.
2 - if answer of point 1 is yes then for SAP DR ... HADR is the best solution or there is any other better solution exist.
regards
Syed Saifuddin

Hello Syed,
If you export from the prod db and import into the disastor recover db then they will be the same provided that SAP environment is all the same. I would recommend that you update the prod side to the same db2 release and fixpack level as soon as possible though as 9.5 (or even better 9.7) has some advanced features that make administration alot easier and save much space.
HADR would be the best setup for disaster recovery in db6 environment.
Check the following documentation which should answer most of your queries.
SAP Note 960843 # DB6:Installation SA MP

and Windows"

IDoc Scenario SAP ERP - PI(Receiver IDoc Adapter) - IDoc to Third-Party system

Dear All,
I have created a scenario to send IDocs via PI system (PI 7.1) to a third party system.
There is no message mapping involved(Only ID part)
I have imported Idoc Metadata from the source ERP system.
Created an RFC destination(BC_ERP_SEA) in the PI system of type TCP/IP with registered Server Program to third party system.(Tested success)
Created a port in IDX1 BC_ERP_SEA with above TCP/IP destination.
Receiver communication channel of type IDoc is created with the following parameters:
         RFC Destination: BC_ERP_SEA
         Segment Version: 640
         Interface Version: SAP release 4.0 or Higher
         Port: BC_ERP_SEA
         SAP Release: 640
Now when I execute the scenario, I get the following error in SM58 of PI system.
Bena IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS not found on host.
Request your help for this issue.
Thanks,
Jishi

Hi,
Check below steps..it may resolve your issue
1. It is mandatory to specify Ack Destination value in IDoc_AAE sender channel. The value should be an RFC destination name which is connecting to your SAP ECC system.
2. In inboundRA resource adapter, the value for the property "local" should be set to "true".

Upgrade of SD to SAP ERP 2005, FI stays on SAP R/3 4.0

Hi,
There is a task to upgrade first the SD module to SAP ERP 2005,
but keep the FI module running on SAP R/3 4.0
Is it possible to implement it like this?
Have anyone been dealing with such distributed integration before?
Best regards
Maxim

Technically you can upgrade , but SD is highly integrated with FI like credit check , tax etc . With the upgrade it might change the structure of table the link between both the system might effected. You should talk to the Functional consultants and they can give you the advice

SAP ERP EHP 5 - Activating Embeded Analytics (dashboards)

Hi
We (the basis team+BI team) have been trying to activate the dashboards that apparently come embedded in SAP ERP EHP 5. To test the functionality, we were hoping to demo the Cash Management Dashboards. Unfortunately non of the Dashboards are even listed on the NWBC (role cash management) after activation. We have activated the Reporting Financials 3 and 2. And have activated the Dashboard in RSOR in our ERP system. We also ran the BI Content Activation (workbench). We have replicated all Source Systems.
We feel we are maybe missing something. Could someone please share some light with regards to the following understanding:
1. We only need the ERP EHP 5 ABAP system (with BI content and BI Content Extension)
2. No Portal or any java instances (with BI Java Components) is required
3. A simple role (which one) should be enough to show the dashboards
4. We are using Scenario 2 for dashboards (i..e we are not planning to create our own therefore do not need Xcelsius Designer)
Your response will highly appreciated
kind regards
Ronny

For those struggling with the same, here's what I've found (and got to work) so far:
1. BI Java is required (install the latest) . So does the portal for Runtime environment for your dashboards
2. Define the BI (Abap AS) system on the portal
3. Run the BI Daignostic/service Desk tool to resolve any issues (e.g. Flash error - unable to access external data) Specifically the URL:
http://<Host name >:<port numebr>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.supportdesk.default
4. Take a look at this document (regarding setting up BEX WEB configuration)
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00c4742a-3a4b-2b10-b4ae-b03d08bcde6e?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&48558900359425
5. Create a Role to access the reports from NWBC (transaction PFCG)
6. If its CRM, make sure CRM interactive reporting is configured fully before you even begin trying to run any of the dashboards
I hope this helps

SAP ERP Central Component 5.0 upgrade?

Hi,
Currently we have "SAP ERP Central Component 5.0 ides" system with us. Can we upgrade it to ECC 6.0 EHP4 ?
Main concern is can ides system be upgraded to higher versions?
I can see latest avaialable ides version is ECC 6.0 EHP4 ides but there are no upgrade DVDs available at service market place.
Thanks,
Ambarish

Hi Ambarish,
The IDES upgrade is not recommended and not supported by SAP. Reason being, IDES content contains many objects in the customer namespaces and the upgrade would certainly run into issues due to these. SAP Support also cannot be sought for, as the upgrade itself is not recommended. We have performed IDES upgrades, but encountered many issues during the procedure.
u201CIDES Content: Please note that all Support Packages / Enhancement Packages / Upgrades do not have any additional IDES-specific parts. You will not find additionaly demo data in your system after a technical upgrade.u201D
This states that standard SAP content delivery routes (SPs, EhPs, Upg exports) will not contain any IDES content, which is logical. The IDES content is not required by all customers needing SPs, EhPs or upgrades.
Regrads,
Srikishan

SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 upgrade optimal resources

Hi,
        I am performing EHP7 up gradation on SAP ERP 6.0.
SYSTEM H/W: 8 CPU's   50 GB RAM
OS : windows server 2008 R2
DB: oracle 11.2.0.5.0
SAP source release : ERP 6.0
SAP target release : ERP 6.0 including EHP 7
     I have performed above said activity on test system / development system / quality system /production system. The time to complete different systems varied beyond my expected/planned values.
     I understood that there are users logged into production system till pre processing stage of SUM tool.So the long running phases (ACT_UPG , SHADOW_IMPORT , etc ) took approximately double the time than other systems.
     May i know various other other reasons ,for productions system , which reduces performance (in terms of run time).Is there any ways to improve performance (in terms of run time) .
     I have increased R3trans processes,Batch process to higher values during configuration phase of SUM tool.What are the optimal values which can be given in for fast upgrade.
thanks & regards
uday reddy

First read the SAP note 1616401 - Understanding parallelism during the Upgrades, EhPs and Support Packages implementations to understand how you can make use of parallelism when you are doing an upgrade. There is no point in having more R3trans processes assigned when there is no sufficient resources available on the server. In order to make effective use of this you should make sure there is enough CPU and memory available on the system.
The activation phase is expected to run for a long time but there are possibilities to improve the performance by adapting the memory parameters of the shadow system. You may refer to these SAP notes 1674812 - Performance improvement for ACT_UPG
1223360 - Composite SAP Note: Performance optimization during import
1897538 - Long runtimes when accessing DD27S in ACT_UPG phase

ESS XSS delivered with SAP ERP 2004 compatible with SAP 4.7?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has sought to implement the latest version of ESS (for SAP ERP 2004) for a SAP 4.7 backend? Is this at all compatible?
I have implemented ESS 50.4 on EP6 SR1 and this works fine with a backend SAP 4.7, but I am interested in knowing whether the newer version of ESS (non-ITS) is compatible with SAP 4.7. I am thinking not, but any experiences of others would be useful.
Regards
John Moy

Hi John,
If you are concerned about ITS rendition of WEBGui content, then according to OSS Note# <b>197746</b> the WAS6.4 Integratred ITS should do the job.
Yet, till I get my hands wet with custom ESS 50.4 ITS templates upgraded to EP6.4 SP9, then I can assure the results.
Regards,
AAAttar
<b>OSS Note# 197746...</b>
"As of release 6.40 of SAP Web Application Server the SAP Web AS Kernel includes a subcomponent called "SAP Integrated ITS". This component is the successor of the "standalone" ITS releases up to and including release 6.20. Since this component is integrated into SAP Web AS the rules that apply to the Kernel also apply to the SAP Integrated ITS.
Information on patches and maintenance periods for SAP Web AS Kernel can be found in OSS notes 19466 and 138704.
The Integrated ITS can only be used to run SAP GUI for HTML and IACs of the SAP System it is part of. Therefore there are no longer questions in regards to downward or upward compatability. Since the Integrated ITS consists of executables being part of the Kernel and templates, MIMES, etc. being part of SAP_BASIS you can only use the Integrated ITS if you have both SAP Web AS Kernel 6.40 and SAP_BASIS 6.40 or higher installed."

Connection from Web Intelligence over Universe to SAP ERP without SAP BW

Hi there,
is there a way to create a Universe which ic connected to SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) ? I want to use Web-Intelligence to create the Reports for my ERP-Data. But i don't want to make the way over SAP BW.
Otherwise i have to use Crystal because Crystal + SAP ERP Integration Kit can handle a connection to ERP. But then i have to waste a lot of time for the accuracy to a pixel which i dont need and i dont want...
Any Ideas ?!
Thanks
Sebastian
Edited by: smenzl on Mar 31, 2010 9:17 AM

Hi
you have 4 options:
1) Load your SAP ERP data into an SAP BW system and use OLAP universes to build WebI reports.
2) Use Rapid marts for SAP. This product comprises Data Integrator mappings that will allow to load your SAP ERP data into a predefined DWH based on a relational data source (like DB2, MS SQL Server or Oracle). It also includes a universe based on the predefined relational DWH that will allow you to build WebI reports.
3) Use the Data Federator with the SAP R/3 connector. Please note that the R/3 connector is NOT a product rather a prototype tand will be used at own risk (SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Reporting for SAP ERP [original link is broken])
4) NOT RECOMMENDED: Try to access the tables directly in the underlying database. Please note that this may work for some but not all of the ERP data. In several case the data are stored encoded in the underlying tables and there is no way to extract the required information. Additionally the ERP security will not be leveraged into the WebI report.
Crystal reports is the currently the only BO reporting tool, which supports direct access to SAP ERP data sources.

It seems that the system did not come up and thus the RFC call fails.

Oracle 10g RAC installation on HP-UX 11.31 for SAP ERP 6.04

Dear experts,
We are trying to install SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 with Oracle 10g RAC on HP-UX 11.31. Please note that, We are using VERITAS cluster filesystem (CFS) for this purpose and not HP-UX ServiceGuard ClusterFileSystem.
*As per SAP procedure, we have installaed plain plain SAP system with single instance Oracle (ref: Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Database 10gRAC guide). Now we are first trying to install Oracle Clusterware (CRS) and then we will install Oracle RAC software. Is this procedure right?*
Which file (and its path) we have to use for CRS installation and its patch? Is it runInstaller under /oracle/stage/102_64/clusterware? With this file we can install CRS 10.2.0.1. Similarly for Oracle RAC, which files we are supposed to use, i.e for installation and patch upgrade?
Also can we use clusterware package available from Oracle directly in the SAP environment?
We tried to install CRS with runInstaller while running Configuration Assistant after root.sh script.
The following commands are failing in Configuration Assistant:
/oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/racgons add_config erpprdd1:4948 erpprdd2:4948
/oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/oifcfg setif -global lan1/20.20.20.0:cluster_interconnect lan0/192.168.3.0:public
/oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n erpprdd1,erpprdd2
1st command does not give any output if run manually.
2nd commands o/p: PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services
3rd commands fails in every check
Please suggest the solution and expecting answers to the above mentioned questions.
Thanks & Regards,
Tejas

Relevant docs for Service Guard (SG) cluster are available at http://docs.hp.com. Hope you have checked for the suport of oracle 92x on HP-UX 11.31

You can go for combined os migration and db release upgrade also at a stretch with the same downtime.

Acquiring sales data from SAP ERP

(While evaluating Lumira, after watching promoclips, reading papers and working with the free trial some questions are still unanswered. I kindly ask you for help… Supporting a clear structure, I decided to open a separate thread for each question.)
How’s about connecting Lumira to a SQL-based SAP Instance to analyze sales data? Does SAP provide a “Business Content” similar to SAP-BW or do I have to join all the affected tables manually?
How would the scenario above be if I connect Lumira to a HANA-bases SAP Instance?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hi,
there are a couple of similar threads already, which might give you suggestions:
Retrieve Data from ERP Infosets
SAP Lumira: Getting Familiar Freehand SQL Against SAP ERP - then to iPad
both those links discuss using 'freehand sql' drivers in Lumira to connect to ERP Infosets . (a kind of ECC query)
a similar approach, going via Business Objects BI 4, would be to have a Universe ontop of Infoset, and Lumira connects to BI4 to consume the Infoset Universe.
In both cases, the prerequisite is the definition of said 'infoset' - the creation of which would be handled by content creators within ECC environment, not likely the Lumira user.

SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

Hi All,
We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
Regards,
Siva.

Hello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.
Thanks,
Siva Kumar
