How to determine database growth for new B1 instalation

Hello B1 people,
I'm working on the capacity planning of my new business one project and must know how to determine database growth. Does anyone did something like that before?
Wich tables should I consider?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Gabriel,
I think it is difficult to make any predictions about database growth because this depends on the volume of your business transactions, the number of users, the continuity of your master data...
For example a small number of users can create a lot of transactions (accounting, logistics) with big documents like sales orders with more than 100 items, or a lot of users who primarily look up things but only create small transaction won't create too much data and thus influence database growth in totally different ways.
You should collect information about the volume of daily business to make any forecasts.
If you start with an empty database, the first big growth will be when you upload your master data, but if only few business transactions follow, you shouldn't use that first increase for your calculation.
Is this your very first B1 installation, or do you already have B1 systems running? If you use the EWA service on a running B1 installation on a regular basis, then you will get a good impression of database growth and transaction volume but you should only use this as a basis for your calculation if the business of the new installation is similar to already running company's.
Hope that helps,
Sandra

How to check Database Growth for a DB on ASM?

Hi there
I have been using the following script to check the database growth (for DBs on Filesystem):
SELECT b.tsname tablespace_name ,
MAX(b.used_size_mb) cur_used_size_mb ,
ROUND(AVG(inc_used_size_mb),2)avg_increas_mb
FROM
(SELECT a.days,
    a.tsname ,
    used_size_mb ,
    used_size_mb - LAG (used_size_mb,1) OVER ( PARTITION BY a.tsname ORDER BY a.tsname,a.days) inc_used_size_mb
FROM
    (SELECT TO_CHAR(sp.begin_interval_time,'MM-DD-YYYY') days ,
      ts.tsname ,
      MAX(ROUND((tsu.tablespace_usedsize* dt.block_size )/(1024*1024),2)) used_size_mb
    FROM dba_hist_tbspc_space_usage tsu ,
      dba_hist_tablespace_stat ts ,
      dba_hist_snapshot sp,
      dba_tablespaces dt
    WHERE tsu.tablespace_id    = ts.ts#
    AND tsu.snap_id            = sp.snap_id
    AND ts.tsname              = dt.tablespace_name
    AND sp.begin_interval_time > sysdate-7
    GROUP BY TO_CHAR(sp.begin_interval_time,'MM-DD-YYYY'),
      ts.tsname
    ORDER BY ts.tsname,
      days
    ) a
) b
GROUP BY b.tsname
ORDER BY b.tsname;And I think it always gave me good results until I ran this script on a DB (10.2.0.5) on ASM.
Is it because databases on ASM are maintaied differently OR is it that most proabbly there has been no activity on this database in the last 7 days? I even ran this query for last 90/180-days and it still returned me following results:
TABLESPACE_NAME                CUR_USED_SIZE_MB AVG_INCREAS_MB
SYSAUX                                   574.38            .36
SYSTEM                                   514.69              0
DATA                                    1593.25              0
IDX                                         .06              0
UNDOTBS1                                  69.06          -3.84
USERS                                     96.13              0Thanks in advance!

I have no reason to believe tablespaces under ASM are maintained differently, so the most likely explanation is change in DB activity.
What is your AWR retention? The default is 7 days, so if yours is set at the default then running the query for 90/180 days would not give you more information.
If you want to get useful output from your scripts, you might need to adjust the AWR retention and your SYSAUX tablespace respectively.
If the DB is monitored by Oracle Enterprise Manager(OEM), you can do tablespace forecasting based on the metrics collected by OEM. I did a presentation about this (NYOUG,VirtaThon) a while back:

How to create database item for fast formula?

Hi,
Is there any document for how to create database item for fast formula? I could not find in Metalink or this forum. Thanks.
Andy

Oracle ship many pre-delivered Database Items plus they're created automatically when you create Input Values (etc).
There's often something already there for you. If there's not, you usually create Fast Formula functions to retrieve other data. You don't create your own custom DBIs; Oracle don't deliver APIs for that.

How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe??

How can I disable notification for new install update for adobe (adobe reader, flash player, etc.)
Is there way from SCCM2012 or group policy or any easy way?????
Please help me

If you mean the built-in functionality of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash, it's different mechanism for both.
For the reader, check this guide for example:
http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/bid/84409/Adobe-Customization-Wizard-XI-Tutorial
For flash, check this guide for example:
http://jthys.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/disable-automatic-updates-for-adobe-flash-shockwave-player-reader/
After you've studied the above guides, you need to implement those to be used with ConfigMgr application deployment so that when you deploy Reader/Flash, you get the result you want = no automatic update functionality.

How to determine number range for billing document based on company code ..

Hi Friends!!
can anybody tell me how to determine number range for billing document based on company code & tax departure country if required??
Amit...plz help me!!

Hi Amit,
1. Define different Billing Document number ranges in SPRO -> Sales & Dist -> Billing -> Define number ranges for billing docs. (VN01). Make sure that all are internal number ranges.
e.g.
NO. From number To Number    Current number Ext
A1   0930000000    0930999999
A2   0940000000    0940999999
A3   0950000000    0950999999
2. Define a Ztable ZNUMB_RANGE as follows
Comp. Code | Tax departure country | Billing Doc Type | Number Range
100                IN                               F2                      A1
200                IN                               F2                      A2
200                US                              F2                     A3
3. In user exit RV60AFZZ (USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE)
Read table ZNUMB_RANGE for Number Range with Comp. Code, Tax country and Billing Doc.
If found pass this number range value to us_range_intern.
us_range_intern is a standard SAP variable which tells program which number range use to create the current document which is under process.
Let me know if you are clear.
Thanks,
Mandar

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

How to determine network bandwidth for EP 6.0 implementation

Hi
can you please guide me how to determine the network bandwith requirment for SAP EP6.0 implementation for smoother operation
Thanks & Regards
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
luckily network bandwidth is mostly not a problem as long as it is not very small, e.g. a modem dial-up 56kbps connection on client side. To make sure that the server side outgoing line is strong enough, you'd need to do some math and calculate from the expected request volume how much bandwidth you'd need. Some guidance might be taken out of the how to paper under this link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to perform sap enterprise portal load testing.zip.
Check chapter 2.4 in the pdf file.
For "smooth operation" you'd need network wise not only worry about bandwidth but also about network latency times and sometimes network quality in regard to % package losses or similar. If your end users are more then 1000 miles away you usualy start seeing response time increases from latency times...
The impacts of networking on performance are many, but so are the tuning possibilities. If you have a lot of end-users accessing EP over a WAN, perhaps even over the Internet, and if they do so over long distance you might want to make EP landscape WAN tuning a dedicated task in your project.
In addition the network requirements of Portal are discussed in this paper : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000757275&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700003943521999E , chapter 3.5.2 Enterprise Portal.
