How to change SID on a SAP System with Maxdb ?

Hello,
I've tryed to migrate /clone a productive system from physical to virtual for testing, and it went OK.
Now, i've done the same to another physical machine and SAP 4.6C r3 goes up,as well as the database MaxDB 7.5 on the new machine.
but now i have two problems:
First, the license key: i have to request a new one. i believe that i can do it using https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/licensekey
Second: the SID is the same, as i have clone the system from one side to another. Same OS, same kernel, etc etc etc.
In order to achieve the possibility to transform the new cloned system in a DEV system for my SAP landscape, i must rename the <sid> of my SAP.
I've changed already the SAPSYSTEMNAME = PRD to SAPSYSTEMNAME = DEV, created a new user like "devadm" renamed the directories where i could find "prd" to "dev" and even in the /home/<sid>adm files i've changed everything from PRD to DEV.
However, this have not worked for me. As that did not worked out, made the "cloning" again. And now i' again with the problem of entering the new license key ( i believe i can request it via that webpage mention above) and changing the <sid> of the system.
Is there any sap not where i can see how to change the <sid> / SAPSYSTEMNAME ?
Thank you
my system is a RHEL5 with MaxDB 7.5 64 bits

Hi Filipe,
afaik the SID of a SAP instance cannot be changed later on.
But this is not a db-topic - so you're basically asking the wrong people here in the forum.
Perhabs is more suited for this question.
Concerning the licensekey : yes, you will need a new one if you change the hardware or db platform.

How to change the color of SAP screen?

Hi Frens,
I know it has nothing to do with SD Community, but still I am asking. Can anyone tell me "How to change the color of SAP screen?" It is needed especially when you are working on System Landscape including PRD, Qua & Dev. There are chances that you end up making a test case in PRD instead of Dev or Qua. To avoid that, different color of SAP screen may be very useful and safe.

We had a clone of SAP for testing
Only GUIXT solution was available for users to distinguish between real Prod & Clone as SID was same
Created 2 scripts n C:\guixt\scripts
saplsmtr_navigation.e0100.txt
Esession.txt
BOTH having identical code
if V[_ashost=10.3.3.18]
TitlePrefix "CLONE18"
TitleSuffix "(CLONE8)"
endif
if V[_ashost=10.3.3.25]
TitlePrefix "PROD25"
TitleSuffix "(PROD25)"
endif
After much research - this was only solution.
GUIXT will be around; like SAPSCRIPT & SMARTFORMS
despite the enticement of Adobe Forms!
After some time you may set GUIXT profile start window HIDDEN
This you do by clicking profile button of GUIXT menu
If you want to see GUIXT Window again
CMD.exe Dos prompt
cd C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui
guixt visible

How to unlock users in a SAP system if all of them are locked

How to unlock users in a SAP system if all of them are locked
Posted: Mar 21, 2007 10:07 AM         Reply      E-mail this post
Hello Experts,
In any SAP System,if a user having authorizations has mistakingly locked all the users of the SAP system,then how wll we unlock those users bcoz we wont be able to logon into the SAP System. Requested to revert your valuable replies at earliest.This happened with us,how to resolve it.My Email Id is [email protected] .
Regards,
Saumya

Hello Siva And Manas,
Thanx for ur replies .
Manas: These SQL statements we hv to run at the Command Prompt level only na.......
Siva : U r telling to delete the SAP* user ,u dont mean with the System created default user SAP* rite but u mean to delete our self created SAP*/any super user rite? Secondly how to delete tat user at the database level?
Regards,
Saumya
If all the users are locked , they can only be unlocked via sql.
Actually waht happens is if the uflag field of an user in table usr02 is 0 then the user is unlocked. Different values of the uflag field in table USR02 mean:
0          User not locked
32         Locked by CUA central administrator
64         Locked by administrator
128       Locked after failed logon
Incase all the users are locked execute the following sql to unlock them
update sap<sid>.usr02   (means update sapd01.usr02 or sapq01.usr02 etc)
set uflag='0' ;
commit.;
This unlocks all the users.
update sap<sid>.usr02
set uflag='0' where bname='xxx';
commit.;
This unlocksonly the user xxx.

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same SID but different instance numbers on one host?

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
If yes, then how?
If no, then why?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
Yes, it is possible. If one is CI (PAS) and the second one is an AS (AAS). In this case there will be only one database.
If you are talking about two separate SAP systems with separate databases (Eg: A BI and an ECC) with the same SID then the problem will be with the database (Eg: Oracle)
The database will be installed under /oracle/SID/112_64 (ORACLE_HOME) unless one database is running on 10 G and in that case the ORACLE_HOME will be /oracle/SID/102_64
The next issue will be with the SAP file systems like /sapmnt/SID
The most important problem will be with the switch to the sidadm and orasid users and the conflicts there. If there is a need to stop one of the SAP systems and if you do a switch to sidadm and issue a stopsap command which system will be stopped ?
These are few of the many problems I can think of.
So if we are talking about two separate systems with their own databases I would rule out the possibility of having two systems with the same SID.

Step 1:- In RSPC t-code, select the process chain which you need to change.
Step 2:- Double click on it.
Step 3:- It will display the various programmes attached to the process chain. Go to change mode by clicking on the change indicator (Control + F9)
Step 4:- Select the programme area where you need to do the correction or change. Double click on it.
Step 5:- It will take you to the programme and its selection contents. Make the relevant changes. You can directly carry out the change in se38 also if there is variant kind of changes for that particular programme.
Step 6:- Once the changes are done, save the changes and press F3 button which will take you to the home page of the process chain
Step 7:- Save again so that the change in the programme alongwith the process chain will get saved.

Hi Amar,
Use the FM IDOC_WRITE_AND_START_INBOUND to post an inbound IDoc. Just build the EDIDD and *EDIDC8 tables and enter a profile for a inbound message type from a partner. It returns a IDoc number. Don't forget to do commit work.

How many people can be on the system with a 512 K connection in BPC 7 MS

Hi,
It appears that BPC uses a large piece of the band width and more than one computer and user with a 512 K connection using BPC will not work.How many people can be on the system with a 512 K connection? -BPC 7 ms version.
Thx
PLN

I would like to precise more things regarding the network.
I did a case study for one customer and really to have good performances with SAP BPC client the network required the follow:
Bandwitdth 1024kb/s
Latency smaller than 200 ms between BPC client and BPC server
Otherwise the users will experience problems:
1. IBandwitdh < 1024Kb/s then to download 80 MB or more (templates + dimensions) will require a lot of time and that's means the login time will be very slow every time when a dimension is changed or security is process
2. When an report is executed (a medium report not very complex report) around 100 mesage are send between bpc client and server. So if latency > 200 ms than a simple calculation is saying just into network it will be lost 200 * 100 ms = 20 s.
So for a report which normally is taking 5 - 10 second it will take 30s or even more into client with latency bigger than 200 ms.

How to read some images from file system with webdynpro for abap?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Tao,
The parameter
icm/HTTP/file_access_<xx>
may help you to access the pictures without any db-access.
The following two links may help you to understand the other possibilities as well.
The threads are covering BSP, but it should be useful for WebDynpro as well.

Integrating SAP System with Third Party Software

Hi,
I am working on an implementation project and need to integrate SAP system with a third party system. SInce I am a functional consultant, I am finding it tough to understand the integration issues. Can somebody explain me how to link up the two systems and what are the various tools available for this ?
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
Inorder to integrate various systems we have various interface methodologies provided by SAP.
SAP systems use the following interface technologies:
ALE: Application Link Enabling
BAPI: Business Application Programming Interface
CPI-C: Common Program Interface Communication
EDI: Electronic Data Interchange
HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol
LU 6.2: Logical Unit Type 6.2
RFC: Remote Function Call
OLE: Object Linking and Embedding
SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
XML: Extensible Markup Language
In general we use ALEs and BAPIs.
The ALE uses IDOCs as the data transfer medium and need various middle ware systems inorder to receive and process these IDOCs.
BAPIs use Remote enabled functions which can be accessed from any platform also using any language ( like JAVA, VB etc).
Thanks and regards.
