Suresh Kumar

Hi,
Check this SAP note out 696084, this contains the links for downloading the sapmake_util.exe , this tool you will be needed in order to convert EPA to SDA, once you download this tool, unzip this into your SAP folder in program files. the blog provided by Harini is very nice one.
Please not the syntax of converting is
on cmd you need to type this
epa2sda <filename.EPA> <SDA filename youwant.SDA>
dont forget to give .EPA and .SDA as i have shown, else you will get errors.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Ameya

  • How to covert a ttibetan pdf file to a .docx file using adobe acrobat maintain the tibetan script

    Hi I'm working with a pdf file in traditional Tibetan script and I need to use this content in an editable .doc or .docx file. How do I convert this Tibetan script into a word doc? My adobe doesn't recognize Tibetan as a downloadable item. Please help. Thanks

    I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat.  I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
    But none have worked.
    I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark.  And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

    Hi,
    If you are using NW version < 7.1
    Log on to the remote server (host):
    Run the remote GUI for the SDM (software deployment manager)
    <drive>:\usr\sap\<host>\<instance>\SDM\program --> remotegui.bat
    Using this SDM interface you will be able to deploy the SDAs.
    Log on using SDM password. Go to deployment Tab -> click on '+' icon (Add SDAs for Deployment), then next and deploy.

    Please let me know how I can extact this sda file into NWDS make changes and archive it back again into an sda. The changes I need to make are only View changes. The DC workspace or the DC itself is not available.
    The available component is the sda files. Please guid as to how I can continue to make customization in such a situation.
    Regards,

    Hi ramesh,
    Copy the SDA file to some directory. Change the extension of the file to zip. Unzip the file. You can import files in unzip folder.
    .SDA files are to be deployed using SDM & it consist of .JAR files while PAR is a portal archive file that contains all files created during portal application development.

  • How to Open .EPA files.

    Hi Gurus,
                 I have one file with .EPA extention, which i got from SDN on Portal Development Kit.
                 Please help me out how to open and consume that file.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Udaya Bhaskar

    Hi Uday,
    EPA file is created when we transport any package. this file is contains all the iviews,pages, worksets,roles that you have to transport to another system. so if you want to see that contatints and upload it you need to get that containts in another server i.e you need to import that. for importing this containts you need to do following things :
              In SAP portal you must have System Administrator role or you can take your colleges id who has that role. then do the following Steps for opening the items that are present in the .EPA file.
    1) Click on System Administrator
    2) Click on Import option
    3) Then there is Source for Package Files opetion and you have to select one of the opetion.
    a) client : this option you can select if you have that .EPA file in your local system. then you can browse it and upload it.
    b) server : this option you can select if you have that file in another server and you have to browse that file from server and then upload it.
    4) after uploading file you can get all the contents that are present in that .EPA file.
