You can put a lock on the program inside the program, so that when it is run it puts a lock entry in SM12, then anyone trying to run it will get a message saying that the program is locked. USe the TRDIR lock object.

How to see if invisible program is running in background?

Hello,
I'm trying to help my friend who has an iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Her email and Facebook keep getting "hacked", and even though she changes the passwords to long and complex things that nobody could ever guess, someone is still able to figure out her passwords. The only way we think this could be happening is if someone broke into her home and put some type of "keystroke capture" program so that they could look at it while she's at work and get her passwords that way. We simply can not come up with any other way that her passwors are being discovered, and unfortunately we think it's a jealous ex-wife that is doing this.
I seem to recall in Snow Leopard that there is a way to see what is running in order to see how much memory is being taken by each task or program on the computer, but I don't recall where to go on the computer to monitor that information. Can someone please point me to where that information is, and if you have any other advice on how to check to see if a program is running without her knowledge, I would sure appreciate any input.
Thank you very much!

Great---thank you very much. I actually do recognize everything there, so we are baffled as to what's going on.
Thanks again!

How to find whether remote database is up or not (connected via dblink)

Hi,
I am using dblink to connect Biz database from Dev database.(Biz, Dev - database names)
Running dbms job using the dblink from the Dev database to update data on Biz database...
Problem is dbms job should run if and only if the Biz database is up for which i created the dblink...
1) How to make sure or implement the check to find whether the Biz is database is up or not in Pl/sql or sql...
2) How to reschedule the dbms jobs once the database is up
pls suggest me how to find whether the database is up or not b4 running the dbms job?
Using- Oracle 10g

The only way to know whether the remote database is up (and whether the network between the two databases is up and whether the remote database's listener is up and whether the password configured in the database link is correct and whether the local TNS alias is correct, etc) would be to actually run a query against the remote database over the database link. In other words, the way to figure out whether the link is up is to let the job run and catch & handle exceptions when there are problems.
By default, a job scheduled via DBMS_JOB will automatically reschedule itself if there is an unhandled exception by geometrically backing off (it waits 1 minute after the first failure, 2 minutes after the second, 4, 8, 16, 32 minutes, etc until it's marked as broken after 16 failures). You could, of course, catch appropriate exceptions and handle them in a reasonable fashion and manually reschedule jobs at intervals that make more sense for your particular job.

How to find whether an Invoice is been posted for a particular PO

Hi,
How to find whether an Invoice is been posted for a particular PO.
I have a scenario where I fetch data into an internal table T_CDHDR(It has PO and other details). For each and every entry(PO) in that internal table I have to see whether an Invoice is been posted or not. They told to use <b>EKBE(Purchasing document history)</b> table. But, I don't know which field to check for and based on what conditions.
Can someone help me with sample code or some valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paddu.

HI,
TABLE IS RIGHT.
IN THAT TABLE FOR THE FIELD BEWTP CHECK WHETHER ENTRY IS "Q".
Q STANDS FOR IR-L THAT MEANS INVOICE IS DONE.
ON THE SELECTION SCREEN OF EKBE TABLE ENTER THE PO NUMBER.
THEN CHECK WHETHER IT HAS ENTRY FOR BEWTP 'Q'.
YOU CAN CROSS-CHECK THIS DATA FROM TABLE WITH THAT IN ACTUAL PO IN T.CODE - ME23N.
ENTER PO NUMBER ,THEN IN ITEM DETAILS , IN HISTORY TAB SEE FOR THAT INVOICE NO.

How to find out which server is running on which port

hi all,
how to find out which server is running on which port, i want to know both
from front end and backend?
thanks and regards
srikanth

The best source to get all the ports you have is the Context Files.
All ports are defined in the Context Files through "AutoConfig Variable". You can get the list of those variables by referring to the following note under "What is the port pool? What if I want to give a specific value to a Server Port?"
Note: 216664.1 - FAQ: Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=216664.1
You can also get that list via OAM.
Referring to the installation log file should also be helpful (Unless you have changed any of the ports after the installation).

Hi guys,Explain how to find whether the user request is dialog or bc ...

how to find whether the user request is dialog or bc or some other wp and where we can see that ?

Hello Damodar,
You can find out that in SM50.
However one piece of advice. I have noticed that you are raising lots of questions about very basic questions. Either you new to SAP or dont know anything about SAP Basis and want to get in this area. Or else you are preparing for some interview. In either of these cases expecting solutions given at SDN are not going to be of much help. Better read yorself in SAP Help as most people do. SDN should not be overly used for such purposes. Basic questions are welcome but you want to learn SAP through SDN !!!

How to find whether MIRO is done for a PO

Hi All,
Is there any indicator attached to POs that indicates whether MIRO is done for that PO?
I mean after PO creation in ME21N -> GR in MIGO -> Excise (if applicable) and -> MIRO... how to find whether MIRO is done for a particular PO?
Helpful tips will be gratefully rewarded...
Regards,
Karthik

See if an entry exist in EKBE for the PO Number and its items.
The complete process though is, to find the GR Quantity for each PO Item and see if it matches with the PO Item quantity.
SELECT EBELN
         EBELP
         MENGE
         LOEKZ
    FROM EKPO
    INTO TABLE LT_EKPO
   WHERE EBELN = P_EBELN.
IF NOT LT_EKPO[] IS INITIAL.
    SELECT EBELN
           EBELP
           MENGE
           BEWTP
           GJAHR
           BELNR
           BUZEI
           SHKZG
      FROM EKBE
      INTO TABLE LT_EKBE
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_EKPO
     WHERE EBELN = LT_EKPO-EBELN
       AND EBELP = LT_EKPO-EBELP
       AND VGABE = '1'.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT LT_EKBE.
* Change the sign of the quantity for debit
    IF LT_EKBE-SHKZG = C_SHKZG_H.
      LT_EKBE-MENGE = -1 * LT_EKBE-MENGE.
    ENDIF.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING LT_EKBE TO LT_EKBE_SUM.
    COLLECT LT_EKBE_SUM INTO LT_EKBE_SUM.
    CLEAR LT_EKBE_SUM.
    ENDLOOP.
   loop at it_ekpo.
** For each line item, calculate the total GR Quanity
    READ TABLE LT_EKBE_SUM WITH KEY EBELN = LT_EKPO-EBELN
                                    EBELP = LT_AWKEY-EBELP.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
* If the PO Item Quantity is equal to GR Quantity
        IF LT_EKPO-MENGE <= LT_EKBE_SUM-MENGE.
* The PO Item can be considered completed GRed
        ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

How to find whether the installed sap software is 32 bit or 64 bit?

How to find whether the installed sap software is 32 bit or 64 bit?
Hi Community,
We have Windows machine - 64 bit - x64. So, we can install either 32 bit or 64 bit sap software, both are supported, right. Now, a sap system is already installed on this machine and i would like to find out whether the sap software is 32 bit or 64 bit, how can i check?
I have already seen under Menu System - Status - Other Kernel Info & at OS level, with the command disp+work but i cant find the info iam looking for.
Please help.

Hi Sunny,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
Didnt know that one has to look under "Compiled for".

I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday. With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar. How can I tell what programs are running in the background. I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

How can I tell if programs are running in the background.

iPod touch version 4.2.1, how can I tell if programs are running in the background. Battery is dead quickly and time/date reverts to Dec 31, 1969. can see thin silver frame around screen like something is running in background.

You really can't tell unless you hear music or similar. Many are always listening for notifications and other things.
To preserve battery life see the following:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping.

How to find the outbound program for standard IDoc

Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me how to find the outbound program/tcode for a standard IDoc? For e.g. IDoc - MATMAS05 can be generated & distributed using tcode BD10. Similarly how do I find the outbound program/tcode for any standard IDoc? Is there any procedure to find the same.
I have tried to search based on the package name, but unfortunately I didn't find the information for IDoc: COND_A04.
Thanks in advance.
Somu

You can do following steps if the idoc is generated based on change pointer concept (for masters)
- Identify the message type associated with idoc type (table EDIMSG).
- Function module for generating the IDOC will be available in table TBDME (pass message type as input).
Refer to the standard Outbound IDOC generation program RBDMIDOC for more details.
If the idoc is generated based on the process code concept (transaction data), get the process code information from table TMSG1 (pass message type as input), get the function module associated process code from table TEDE1 (pass process code as input).
Regards, Vinod
P.S: There is no standard way to find out the associated program / Tcode for generating idoc. The above process will be helpful to find out the underlying function modules to generate the idoc. For generating idocs based on change pointers the generic program RBDMIDOC can be used.
