How to handle delta SPDD & SPAU adjustments in the 2nd Upgrade QA & PRD

Dear all,
We have successfully upgraded our development box and we have made the SPDD changes into a single transport requests and also the SPAU requests in a different requests.
Our ABAP team has made the SPDD adjustments comparing the objects with production and QA.
Now when we upgrade our QA box we have included the SPDD & SPAU transports and now we found that we have about 8 extra objects that needs to be modified manually in SPDD phase? out of 79 objects 71 is adjusted my out SPDD transports and it has left out 8 more objects.
These 8 objects were never shown in SPDD phase of our development box.
Can you please suggest us, like how to handle these delta objects, so that we won't phase the same issue when we move to production. (offcourse we will do 2-3 dry runs before going to production)
I have read the below note, but it is for the older version (without shadow instance)
Note 124522 - Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade
Thanks &
Regards
Senthil

1.If you have choosen strategy resource-minimized, they are adjusted during downtime before the ABAP Dictionary is activated.
copy the cofiles and datafiles in the respective directories. List all the requests in umodauto.lst.
In PREPARE phase ADJUSTPRP the following screen appears
For automatically maintaining your modification in your ystem during the upgrade transport request from earlier upgrades are searched in the umoauto.lst in directory /usr/sap/trans/bin..
The file could not be read
There are several reason why this may be correct
eg: 'this is your first upgrade' or 'your system is not modified'.
Did you expect a list of transports being found?
->Confirm a list of transports to be included in the upgrade
Select Yes & OK
Click on Yes to include the transport
Click Yes to stop the ACT_700 phase and check the results of SPDD
2.You can add additional requests to umodauto.lst
3. Regarding why its how in QA.? Reasons could be
1modification could have been done only in QA
2)Are the DEV and QA are on the same kernel & SP level's

How to handle delta failed process chain steps

Hi All,
I have a query regarding process chains were in processstep has delta load and there is dependency between the predeseccor and successor process steps,then
if the delta load fails due to any one of the following reasons
1) due to remote_icp locked the prtclr Infoobject the process step is executing .
2) due to any psa records errors and so on
Then how to handle delta and see that correct delta records were updated .
Because again for the nextday loads if the previous delta is incorrect it will give pop-up message that it is not possible.
If any suugestions pl guide me.
thanks

1)Remove the lock by force from sm12 or wait till the lock is gone.Then see if the delta data has come till the PSA.Mark failed delta load RED and back it out from target.Then read everything in manually from PSA to target.
In process chains u can go the monitor entry for the failed load by..highlight chain..click log icon..give selection..for proper selection..see the failed node..right click..display messages..click on process monitor.
Sometimes even if infopackage is run successful manually,next steps in the chain do not kick off.
Use Siggi's excellent blog on this..(it works really well)
/people/siegfried.szameitat/blog/2006/02/26/restarting-processchains
2)Make request RED and back it out from target.
Correct records in the PSA and read everything in manually from PSA to data target.
Then use Siggi's blog.
If data hasnt come to PSA do a delta repeat.
Always check yesterday's chain run about 1-2 hrs before today's chain kicks off.
cheers,

How does a delta work when BW is the source?

Greetings to All,
We are loading from R/3 into DSO1, and then from DSO1 into DSO2. The R/3 extractor that loads DSO1 is delta-enabled. We are not sure, however, if a delta mechanism governs the load from DSO1 into DSO2. The DTP says its extraction mode is delta, but does that mean, if a row in DSO1 changes, it will negate the key figures on the original row and send a new row the way R/3 does?
For example, suppose the R/3 extractor sends us Row 1.
Row 1 has a key figure with a value of $100.
Row 1 gets changed in R/3, and the new value is $125.
The R/3 delta mechanism takes care of this by negating the key figure on the appropriate row and sending us a correcting row. For example, the R/3 extractor will send us:
Row 1 $100
Row 1 -100
Row 1 $125
So... the net value in DSO1 is correct, i.e. 100 - 100 + 125 = 125.
When we load from DSO1 into DSO2, however, do you know what rows will load into DSO2? Is BW "smart" enough to do this type of negation?
Thanks!
Regards,
Sarah-Jane

The R/3 delta mechanism takes care of this by negating the key figure on the appropriate row and sending us a correcting row
The function of negation is not done by R/3 rather by BI with use of before and after images in ODS. R/3 sure does send us the changed records but not the associated negation values in a new row. So if Bi can handle delta with one ODS, sure it can handle others too.

How to handle spaces in using path to the file

Hi Friends,
I am getting error "file not found" if I give path of the file that contains spaces in it. (eg. C:\Users\Sample Project\file.txt)
If I give path that doesn't contain spaces (eg. C:\Users\Sample\file.txt) then it works fine without any error.
Basically I am invoking one command at runtime (using "exec") in my java program that excepts path of the file as one parameter.
I can't remove space by manipulating path - othewise that path will be different.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks

Works for me:
import java.io.*;
public class ProcessExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        if (args.length == 0) {
            Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
            dump(r.exec("java ProcessExample foo \"bar baz\""));
        } else {
            for(String s : args) {
                System.out.println(s);
    static void dump(Process p) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
        for(String s; (s = r.readLine()) != null; ) {
            System.out.println("[" + s + "]");
}But ejp's advice is even better.

How to handle a running number field in the report? How to format it to be (a), (b),

Hi,
I'm very new in Oracle Report...
Does anybody know how to generate a running number in oracle report? for eg. 1,2,3,4....
Is there anyway to format these running number to i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi.... or a,b,c,d,e....
Thanks

Here is one way to do this:
In the data model create a function and a placeholder in the group you want the numbers/letters to show. Set the placeholder name to cp_count and the datatype to number. Set the formula's formula to read:
:cp_count := nvl(:cp_count,0) + 1;
return :cp_count;
And in the conditional formatting property of the field you want to show 1,2,3 or i,ii,iii in the layout editor add either:
srw.set_format_mask ('RN');
or
srw.set_format_mask ('NNN');
return true;
I couldn't figure out how to get the a,b,c one'es to work easily. You can put in a large IF statement to return a for 1, b for 2, as in "if :cp_count = 1 then return 'A'
Hope this helps

How to handle duplicate Primary Key entries in the Source data

This is my first experience with ODI.
I receive Source data from the customer that includes a one letter designation, ACTION_CODE, in each record of data as to the disposition of the record:
‘R’ represents Re-issue in which case I’m to modify the corresponding Target record based on the Primary Key.
‘N’ represents an Insert in which case I’m to insert a new record into the Target.
‘D’ represents a delete in which case I’m to delete the record with the corresponding Primary Key from the Target.
The Source data comes in an XML file and the Target is an Oracle DB.
I have chosen the IKM Oracle Incremental Update (MERGE) Knowledge Module.
I filter ACTION_CODE to just collect records that are ‘N’ or ‘R’ and I exclude the ACTION_CODE from the mapping but since within the same Source
set there may be an ‘N’ and ‘R’ with the same primary key I receive Primary Key errors.
Should I alter CKM to not check for duplicates in the Source?
Is there a better way?

Ganesh,
Identifying Duplicates is a logical activity. More or less it need Manual intervention to judge both the records means common. if few unique paramenters like Telephone, Pincode, SSN, passport no etc can be used on filters for searching the records. Currently there are no automatic method to identify the duplicates. In MDM 5.5 SP04 which is next release there will be auto de-duplicate facility based on tresholeds and matching criteria that you will setup.
I hope i have answered your query transparently. if you have any queries futher you can reply here.

How to use property of dimension to filter the 2nd dimension in Allocation?

Hi experts,
How do we use a property of one dimension to filter out the members of another dimension in allocation script engine?
eg of two dimensions
1.)Entity dimension - (entity dimension)
memberset:                                        Channeltype (property)
                   Stores
                    Store1                           Boutique
                    Store2                           Kiosk
                    Store3                           Branch
                    Store4                           Concession
                    Store5                           Franchise
                  Nonstore
2.)business Channel dimension - (user define)
   memberset:
               Channeltype
                   Boutique
                   Kiosk
                   Branch
                   Concession
                   Franchise
                   Nochannel
in allocation code
*runallocation
*factor
*dim entity                          what=Nonstore;                where=bas(Stores)
*dim businesschannel        what=nochannel;             where= ? ;
*endallocation
The thing is that when the engine selected store 2 for entity it should select kiosk as its businesschannel.
Please advise.
Thanks as always,
yajepe

Hi,
In this case, I believe, you should have the allocation within a for loop. But you should note that the performance might reduce.
*FOR %VAR% = BAS(STORES)
   *RUNALLOCATION
   *FACTOR
   *DIM ENTITY WHAT = NONSTORE; WHERE = %VAR%
   *DIM BUSINESSCHANNEL WHAT = NOCHANNEL; WHERE = %VAR%.CHANNELTYPE
   *ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Hope this helps.

How to run a do-while loop on the 2nd execution after a stop on failure occurs?

I am trying to use the Stop on Failure process model callback from the TestStand Examples.
If a step fails within a Do-While loop and the test is terminated, the second time the test is run (continuing to the Next UUT in the process model), the condition for the do-while loop is checked first before it ever enters the loop. This is incorrect because the Do-While loop should execute once and then check the "while" condition.
Also, If I was to stop the execution altogether and then restart the test (instead of continuing with the Next UUT), it runs the loop once, then checks the "while" condition.
I'm not sure if I am describing this clearly enough. The execution seems to flow like this:
Start test
Do
NumericTest step FAILS -> terminate
Next UUT starts
While (condition is false and skips over Numeric Test step).
So it seems that TestStand thinks it's still within that Do-While loop on the second execution and whatever runtime variables are not reset correctly.
Is this a TestStand bug? It happens in both TestStand 3.1 and 3.5.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks for any help.

If it is what I think it is, it is a bug. Try unchecking Sequence Properties>>Optimize Non-Reentrant Calls to This Sequence and please tell me if that fixes it.

How to update SP2010 sites that are missing the Visual Upgrade options

So, we are moving towards upgrading some SP 2010 sites that are currently using the old SP 2007 look and feel so that they have the new ribbon Visual Upgrade.
For some reason, some of these sites do not have the Site Actions > Visual Upgrade option nor do they have the Site Actions > Site Settings > Visual Upgrade link.
Does anyone know what can be done to make those available?
Thank you.

Even when I take a look at
http://myfarm/sites/Support/dept1/_layouts/prjsetng.aspx?Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmyfarm%2Fsites%2FSupport%2Fdept1%2FPages%2Fdefault%2Easpx
which is where the site actions > visual upgrade link should take the user, that page does not have the visual upgrade options on it.

Interview Q: 'how did you handle delta'

Hi BW experts,
I've been asked this question in the interviews, 'how did you handle delta?' I know how to create delta. What is the right answer for this type of question? should I start explaining what/how we did in my previous company?
I'd appreciate and assign points, if someone can provide the answer for this.
Thanks,
Sam

The answer depends on what you have been talking about, I mean the previous discussion you had with the the interviewer. There are different way of handling delta... example:
1. The extractor itself handles delta and it send you the before and after image of the changes.
2. sometimes you load the data direclty to ODS and depending on the key you have in ods, the delta is being handled.
3. In somecases, you may not need to worry about handling delta at all (full load)... going back to the quesion you asked, that depends on the discussion you had with him/her.
thanks.

Wht abt the tcodes SPDD & SPAU

Hi Experts,
what abt the tcodes SPDD & SPAU. what is the importance & usage of that tcodes. can anybody explain me.
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi Satish
<b>SPAU - for repository Objects Changes
SPDD -for Data Dictionary object changes</b>
see the doc
SPAU and SPDD Sights:
http://www.sap-img.com/bc018.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c6/068d380be34e6ce10000009b38f842/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
Please find below, answers to your questions:
1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU.
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
Will they come in these transactions?
Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity.
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option

Question about how ExifMeta handles multivalued tags

Hi,
I have tested the ExifMeta (Great work, just what I needed!) to read face recognition data written by Picasa to RegionName, RegionType etc. fields in jpg metadata. Everything seems to work fine if there is only one name in the field but Picasa writes several values separated with commas like this:
RegionName John Doe, Jill Doll
RegionType Face, Face
etc.
In that case, the corresponding fields remain completely empty. So is this convention of writing several values separated by commas "standard" way of doing this? Is there any way to fix this?
Additionally, three Region category tags refuse to load giving the following error:
"Not updating due to error getting property, id: XMPmwgrs_RegionAppliedToDimensionsUnit, from: nil, to: pixel, err-msg: Attempt to access property "XMPmwgrs_RegionAppliedToDimensionsUnit" not declared in com.robcole.lightroom.ExifMeta's Info.lua"
This is minor problem but it would be nice to know how to handle this kind of error in the future. Do I need to declare these in the lua-code if I need them?
Looking forward to replies,
Mikko

Mikko,
In future, please direct exif-meta specific questions to the exif-meta forum, or me personally.
But a quick answer: exif-meta doesn't (by default) parse ("interpret") text values, so commas shouldn't be handled differently than any other text.
The best way to find out what's going on is to invoke exiftool from the command line and inspect the output.
My hunch is there is a zero character in there representing end-of-string, which can cause problems for lua code (e.g. Lightroom).
If you send me one of your files which includes the face data, I'll have a look.
PS - No clue about the 3 region tags (might be worth trying it with the latest version of exiftool) - please send me a file for inspection - thanks.
