How to change existing variants

Hi All
I have made changes in the selection screen of a report. Now if I use any of the existing variant I get the error 'Variant <> of program <> is not the current version'.
How to adjust the existing variants.
Amol

Hi
For one particluar variant I am getting the Dump.
I have following error analysis given in Dump.
Error analysis
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR',
was neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"%_IMPORT_VARI_CLNT" "(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:
When importing the object "S_RPMAX", the component no. 3 in the
dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
of the target object in the program "ZARS".
The data type is "N" in the dataset, but "C" in the program.
Now if I am correct this means value in Variant is 'N' and in Program is C. Thats why dump is occurring . Then how do I change values in variant. because If I try to change it using SE38 . it gives the same Dump.

How to change protected variants created by users that no longer exist

There are several older variants for which background jobs are scheduled for daily prcessing. These variants were created and protected by uses that no longer exist in SAP.
How to unprotect and change these variants to reflect new requirements.

Hi Anam
1. Execute tcode VARCH and enter the program and variant name and make the changes, if the system allows you to do so.
2. Check with the basis/security team if they can extend the validity and reset the password for the old ids.
3. If the above doesnt work, you will need to copy the variants manually
Moving forward, when you create/change jobs, request the basis/security team to create common ids like OTCADM, P2PADM, etc. Ensure that all the variants and jobs are created/changed using this common id. Basis/Security team can controll by opening and closing the ADM account on request from project team and the usage can be recorded for tracking.
To check the jobs that use a known variant, use tables TBTCP, TBTCO.

Dear gurus,

I think i must change the variant for check deposit but when i execute the T-code FF68 again, i can't choose a variant for check deposit anymore.
Can someone help me?

How to change existing database block size in all tablespaces

Hi,
Need Help to change block size for my existing database which is in 8kb of block size.
I have read that we can only change block size during database creation, but i want to change it after database installation.
because for some reason i dont want to change the database installation script.
Can any one list the steps to change database block size for all existing table space (except system, temp ).
want to change it to 32kb.
Thank you for you time.
-Rushang Kansara

> We are facing more and more physical reads, I thought by using 32K block size
we would resolve that..
A physical read reported by Oracle may not be - it could well be a logical read from the o/s file system cache and not a true physical read. With raw devices for example, a physical I/O reported by Oracle is indeed one as there is no o/s cache for raw devices. So one needs to be careful how aone interprets number like physical reads.
Lots of physical reads may not necessarily be a bad thing. In contrast, a high percentage of "good/fast" logical reads (i.e. a high % buffer cache hit ratio) may indicate a serious problem with application design - as the application is churning through the exact same data again and again and again. Applications should typically only make a single pass through a data set.
The best way to deal with physical reads is to make them less. Simple example. A database deals with a lot of inserts. Some bright developer decided to over-index a table. Numerous indexes for the same columns exist in difference physical column orders.
Oracle now spends a lot of time dealing (reading) with these indexes when inserting (or updating a row). A single write I/O may incur a 100 read I/Os as a result of these indexes needing to be maintained.
The bottom line is that "more and more physical I/O" is merely a symptom of a problem. Trying to speed these up could well be a wasted exercise. Besides, the most optimal approach to "lots of I/O" is to tune it to make less I/O.
I/O is the most expensive operation for a RDBMS. It is very difficult to make this expense less (i.e. make I/Os faster). It is more effective to make sure that you use this expensive resource in an optimal way.
Simple example. Single very large table with 4 indexes. Not very efficient design I/O wise. Single very large partitioned table with local indexes. This can reduce I/O on that table by up to 80% in my experience.

How to change existing reports of sap with CR

Hello Professionals,
I need your help on the following matter:
We recently updated one of our costumers from 2007 to SAP B1 version 8.8
So, now we are able to use the Crystal Reports-Viewer for most of existing standard-reports of SAP, such as the report for open invoices and so on.
To the question:
Our costumer wishes to change the report - instead of information like the installement no. (the costumer doesn't work with payment installements at all) he wishes to have other information, like card code and tel no. within the report.
Now I tried to implement those informations. But I can't, because I don't know how to link the tables concernig primary keys and so on. And where can I find those "PLD-ITEMS"-tables??
Can you help me please and hand over some further "how-to-information"?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
daniel

Hi Juli,
The procedure of how to link those table is pretty clear - so theoretically I know how I have to proceed within Crystal Reports in order to get some more - more or less useless - information into an existing report by linking some other tables perjoins into an query.
The Problem is - to connect the ocrd or other tables concerning the business partners to the report I need the possibility of a correct and smart link. I can't think of any for a connection to the ritm-table. Gordon mentioned that table in a comment before.
Hi Gordon,
meanwhile I got access to the help-information of the sdk. But how am I supposed to find the right information there? I've been into the section Customization Tools - Database Tables References.
To tell the truth - I got problems understanding those infos and even more important: within the section reports I can't find further information to the open docs-report - is it a 'standard report'?
Greetings and good start into the week tomorrow,
daniel

How to change existing terminals from "view as icon" to view as data type through program

I got some legacy LabVIEW code from other people. And there are tons of existing terminals displayed as icon. Is there any way to do batch process to change all of them to view as data type?
Thanks a lot!

If you have a VI in 2010, you can save it as far back as 8.0. There is a thread on this forum dedicated to downconvert requests (and on for upconvert, as well). So post your VI there, and it will probably be converted quickly.
Scripting has existed in LabVIEW since about version 5.1. It was created to support scripting LabVIEW code in products such as the DAQ Assistant and Motion Assistant. The first product to use this technology was the Vision Assistant. However, the early versions are very primitive with limited or no support for common functions (e.g. Delete). Usually, support was added when it was needed for a project. Scripting took a huge leap in quality when LabVIEW 7.0 was released, since it is used behind the scenes to generate the code for Express VIs (which were introduced in 7.0). Scripting steadily improved in quality and features until it was released to general use in LabVIEW 2009. We are still working to expose all the development time functionality.
Take home message is that you can downconvert your VI, but there is no guarantee that the functionality you have in LabVIEW 2010 will exist in 7.1. While this is true in general, it is especially true of scripting functions.

Change existing configurations and customizations in sd implementation proj

how to change existing configurations and customizations in sd implementation project and supporting project ?and what kind of existing configurations and customizations sd consultant usually do?

hi
Since one legal entity will cease to exist and a new legal entity will come into being, you will have to follow all the period end closure procedures.
Also you will need the BS,P&L,Cash flow statements then the year end process also will have to be completed,
A new company code will have to be created and the balances of the old company code will be transferred to the new company code.
If it suffices that only the B&S items and the retained earnings need to be transferred then after the year end process the balances can be shifted to the new company code.

How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network. Step by step would be nice
I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
Will the change in security settings affect my print server? If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news. May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my network and none were available. Does that matter?
The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
Thanks,for any help

How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

Hi all,
can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
thanks in advance..

Which field are you thinking of in particular? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
Some screens could cease to work.
If you decrease length, then you could lose data.
