How work miniroot system

Hello,
I'll try to describe as much as possible what I've done and what I would like to set up...
All modification I'll speak are about miniroot system only.
I'm trying to add a remote access in system inside sparc.miniroot. I'm using a miniroot from Solaris 10 10/08.
To perform that I've first extracted sparc.miniroot, modified it then rebuilt it. All that is ok. As this system is almost all read only, I perform some changes in my SSH config: server keys generation when ssh is starting, keys generated in /tmp, add needed user/group add a password for root user...
To test without reinstalling my test hardware each time I've set an incorrect parameter in /etc/bootparams (for the install= option). So after a "boot net - install" or "reboot -- 'net - install'" miniroot system is hanging and give back hand to the shell.
In this shell I can start ssh server and then I can connect on miniroot system using ssh.
But I can't find a way to make ssh server is started at boot time. I've modified /etc/inittab in miniroot, added link in /etc/rcS.d, /etc/rc1.d, /etc/rc2.d... I haven't yet tried to modify svc configuration to launch it, but I've tried to modify svc to run rlogin without success...
If you have any information regarding services management in miniroot system, your help will be greatly appreciated : )
Kindly regards,
mat

Hi Utes12,
Thanks for your answer. In fact as I'm a lazy guy I would like to activate SSH even if installation process goes wrong and I did that modifying a script named install-discovery if I well remember. When this script exit running a shell I've added sshd startup. Now even if a problem happens during initialization I'm still able to connect on the system and so I've no need to go in datacenter to check and restart servers.
This can't be done through SMF I think.
Cheers,
mat

How works Group System de-provisioning ?

Hi all,
I'm runing SAP IDM 7.1 SP4 last patch.
Here is my pain :
When a user has 2 privileges from the same ABAP repository (for example: SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW), and when those privileges are removed from the identity assignments manually (using a web interface Add / Remove privilege), the DeprovisionABAP task is launch.
Priv are not going through PendingValues, so DeprovisionABAP task is launch from repository deprovision task definition.
And because those privileges were the last ones, 2 Delete ABAP user task are launch as well.
The first on finish OK, but the second one failed because the user as already been delete by the 1st task.
When I look into the RemoveFlagRunChildren, it looks like when priv are manually removed ("#" into MXP_AUDIT table) from an entrytype "MX_PERSON" nothing is done.
Can you please let me know how works Group system de-provision because I have a error each time that all privileges from the same repository are removed from a MX_PERSON.
Thanks for your help,

Try the BExApplication object, .ComConnection.Language property. BTW, there are a lot of useful things there. At least it works when I logon to BEx via Connect button. For example:
Public BExApp As Object
Sub BExAppTest()
    Set BExApp = CreateObject("com.sap.bi.et.analyzer.api.BExApplication")
    MsgBox BExApp.ComConnection.Language
    Set BExApp = Nothing
End Sub
P.S. BExApplication object is a part of BExApi.tlb library (if you need a reference, however it seems to work even without a ref).

How does point system works?

Dear all,
I am wondering how this point system works? I had 915 points this morning and now end up with 905. Instead of going up, it fluctuates from time to time. Initially, it use to show up next to my name with 915 but then that went down to 514???
Is it only me or someone else has seen this behaviour?
I am not points buff but it seems pretty strange that one day infact in the same day the numbers fluctuates like they do in stock exchange.

Nope, in this case, Kartik already has "the hard way" behind him.
During an investigation into a nest of points gamers in October last year, Kartik was investigated as well for having for having participated in one of the threads. There were many being investigated. Other symptoms matched (we have some strict rules for this) - so the mistake was perhaps understandable - but on the other hand I should perhaps have looked a bit further to see that Kartik's post patterns were different to those of the others (who were not located very far away from Kartik..).
Anyway... as they faded away into the annual ponits total of those who are being transported into the world where the A.G. calendar is used ( Anno Guestus ) ... Kartik's ID faded away with them.
Kartik contacted me about it and I took his word for the expanation that he was not involved. I am very glad that I did that, as he has been a big help in the ABAP forums.
I don't have the exact figures, but last I heard we have deleted more than 50 thousand user ID's for ponits gaming. I am always very carefull when investigating this and there are other people who check it as well before any action is taken.
To date, to my knowledge, Kartik has been the only mistake we have made. Others have begged for mercy, but that is different. Hence my comment that he should wear the difference like a "battle scar" caused by the "journal entry", until Micheal can possibly fix it.

How to decide system status cnf teco clsd

Hi ,
My requirement is to select work orders( auart), planned hrs( arbei), actual hrs( ismnw ) based on 'date range', 'work order type', func location ( tplnr ), 'abc indicator ( abckz).
i have to list all work orders:
for a particular planning plant say '1000' , systm status including CNF, TECO, CLSD, excluding PCNF , CRTD , DLFL and REL, I have to include all work orders except SM02 and CP01 and also exclude work orders scheduled outside query period .
When the above is done, i need to sum planned work work hours scheduled for that week , divided by sum of planned work hrs.
I am done with select statement part, how can i find system status or how to calculate system status .
thanks.
Raghu

Hi Seshu,
I have to extract auart, arbei, ismnw based on date range, work order range, func.location range ( tplnr) , abc indicator( abckz).
list all work orders ( auart) with planning plant '1000', system status including CNF, TECO, CLSD , excluding PCNF CRTD DLFL and REL, including all work order types except ' CP01' .
Then i have to sum planned work hrs scheduled for that period and divide by sum of planned work hrs .
say if sum of earned hrs is 10 and planned work hrs scheduled are 20 then
10/20.
Here i have to find earned hrs from AUFK table.
Basically i would like to know about system status , whether it depends on planned hrs and earned hrs or just i have to extract it from JEST or use status_read.
Thanks.

How to get system Environment variable?

How to get system Environment variable without using jni?
just like "JAVA_HOME" or "PATH"...
Any reply is help to me!! :-)

Thx for your reply...
I get it!!!
Read environment variables from an application
Start the JVM with the "-D" switch to pass properties to the application and read them with the System.getProperty() method. SET myvar=Hello world
SET myothervar=nothing
java -Dmyvar="%myvar%" -Dmyothervar="%myothervar%" myClass
then in myClass String myvar = System.getProperty("myvar");
String myothervar = System.getProperty("myothervar");
This is useful when using a JAVA program as a CGI.
(DOS bat file acting as a CGI) java -DREQUEST_METHOD="%REQUEST_METHOD%"
-DQUERY_STRING="%QUERY_STRING%"
javaCGI
If you don't know in advance, the name of the variable to be passed to the JVM, then there is no 100% Java way to retrieve them.
NOTE: JDK1.5 provides a way to achieve this, see this HowTo.
One approach (not the easiest one), is to use a JNI call to fetch the variables, see this HowTo.
A more low-tech way, is to launch the appropriate call to the operating system and capture the output. The following snippet puts all environment variables in a Properties class and display the value the TEMP variable. import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ReadEnv {
public static Properties getEnvVars() throws Throwable {
Process p = null;
Properties envVars = new Properties();
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
String OS = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
// System.out.println(OS);
if (OS.indexOf("windows 9") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "command.com /c set" );
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1 )
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
// thanks to JuanFran for the xp fix!
p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set" );
else {
// our last hope, we assume Unix (thanks to H. Ware for the fix)
p = r.exec( "env" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
( new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() ) );
String line;
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
int idx = line.indexOf( '=' );
String key = line.substring( 0, idx );
String value = line.substring( idx+1 );
envVars.setProperty( key, value );
// System.out.println( key + " = " + value );
return envVars;
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Properties p = ReadEnv.getEnvVars();
System.out.println("the current value of TEMP is : " +
p.getProperty("TEMP"));
catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Thanks to W.Rijnders for the W2K fix.
An update from Van Ly :
I found that, on Windows 2003 server, the property value for "os.name" is actually "windows 2003." So either that has to be added to the bunch of tests or just relax the comparison strings a bit: else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1 )
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2003") > -1 ) // works but is quite specific to 2003
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 20") > -1 ) // probably is better since no other OS would return "windows" anyway
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
I started with "windows 200" but thought "what the hell" and made it "windows 20" to lengthen its longivity. You could push it further and use "windows 2," I suppose. The only thing to watch out for is to not overlap with "windows 9."
On Windows, pre-JDK 1.2 JVM has trouble reading the Output stream directly from the SET command, it never returns. Here 2 ways to bypass this behaviour.
First, instead of calling directly the SET command, we use a BAT file, after the SET command we print a known string. Then, in Java, when we read this known string, we exit from loop. [env.bat]
@set
@echo **end
[java]
if (OS.indexOf("windows") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "env.bat" );
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
if (line.indexOf("**end")>-1) break;
int idx = line.indexOf( '=' );
String key = line.substring( 0, idx );
String value = line.substring( idx+1 );
hash.put( key, value );
System.out.println( key + " = " + value );
The other solution is to send the result of the SET command to file and then read the file from Java. ...
if (OS.indexOf("windows 9") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "command.com /c set > envvar.txt" );
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
// thanks to JuanFran for the xp fix!
p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set > envvar.txt" );
// then read back the file
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(new FileInputStream("envvar.txt"));
Thanks to JP Daviau
// UNIX
public Properties getEnvironment() throws java.io.IOException {
Properties env = new Properties();
env.load(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("env").getInputStream());
return env;
Properties env = getEnvironment();
String myEnvVar = env.get("MYENV_VAR");
To read only one variable : // NT version , adaptation for other OS is left as an exercise...
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c echo %MYVAR%");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
( new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() ) );
String myvar = br.readLine();
System.out.println(myvar);
Java's System properties contains some useful informations about the environment, for example, the TEMP and PATH environment variables (on Windows). public class ShowSome {
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("TEMP : " + System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"));
System.out.println("PATH : " + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
System.out.println("CLASSPATH : " + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
System.out.println("SYSTEM DIR : " +
System.getProperty("user.home")); // ex. c:\windows on Win9x system
System.out.println("CURRENT DIR: " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
Here some tips from H. Ware about the PATH on different OS.
PATH is not quite the same as library path. In unixes, they are completely different---the libraries typically have their own directories. System.out.println("the current value of PATH is: {" +
p.getProperty("PATH")+"}");
System.out.println("LIBPATH: {" +
System.getProperty("java.library.path")+"}");
gives the current value of PATH is:
{/home/hware/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:
/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/hware/linux-bin:/usr/openwin/bin/:/usr/games/:

How to upgrade system from serial communication to parallel communication

Hi,
I am working on Lab VIEW 8.5.In my project I am using ADAM cards(7) for analog/digital inputs/outputs. Communication is done via RS 232 serial cable. Right now my system is working fine, but if i want to make it more fast i will need to use parallel communication right? Because Simultaneous inputs and outputs are processed. How much my communication file will change? Which card i should use?
How to upgrade system? On which factors it depends or it affects? I need guide lines.
Thank you
Gaurav k
CLD Certified !!!!!
Do not forget to Mark solution and to give Kudo if problem is solved.

Hi
In your setup you have a ADAM 4250 RS232/485 repeater talking with 7 instruments in a network. Each instrument have a unique address, and you can only address 1 instrument at a time. If you need more speed you have to insert more ADAM 4250 units in your system and more RS232 ports on the PC. Identical ADAM instruments may receive commands over the same communication line, but transmit data on a unique communication line. You can not use the parallel port in your setup at all. This is not a Labview problem but a hardware problem. If speed is critical maybe the Ethernet I/O Modules: ADAM-6000 series are better for your setup
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How does the system calculate taxes?
Can anybody explain in detail how the values will flow from PB00 / PBXX to BASB ?
Is this flow will remains same in both deductible & non deductible taxes ..??
Pls explain

Hi
Just remove the base type 362 in the taxing procedure & check if your tax is calculating or not.
The Tax determination still works.
FORM FRM_KOND_BASIS_362.

How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process

How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process
I use SAP-B12005SP53 and i develop with Business Partner Object

HI ALL
TAKE CARE: Nothing was working in VB6, but in .NET it sets the default value !
from help of VS.
When you assign Nothing to an object variable, it no longer refers to any object instance. If the variable had previously referred to an instance, setting it to Nothing does not terminate the instance itself. The instance is terminated, and the memory and system resources associated with it are released, only after the garbage collector (GC) detects that there are no active references remaining.
Garbage Collector distroyes the objects at the end of the sub of function, not in the loop.
So use local variables when you loading the 7000 items. For me working fine and i do not have a memory problems. I am loading 50000 items with prices from EDI file, and memory usage stops at 120MB.
1st solution create a sub or a function to populate the data, and run this for every items by as single rutin,
sub x
    Dim obj As New Object()
        Try
... put here your update code
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
end sub
This free up the memory when Garbage
2nd solution: use inner loop definition
sub x
Try
            Do While True
                Dim obj As New Object()
            Loop
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
end sub
This free up the memory inside the loop.
I recommend to use Friend Class keyword for your addon declaration and do not use modules.
Modules and shared classes will be free up the memory when your program terminates execution.
For more information see MSDN help http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ee5a7s1(VS.80).aspx

How to get system date and time?

Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
Thanks!

there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
int hour, minute, second;
i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
Calendar time;
int hour, minute, second;
Thread thread = null;
public MyTime() {
hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
if(thread == null) {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
while(thread == t) {
thread.sleep(1000);
second++;
if(second > 59)
minute++;
if(minute>59)
hour++;
formatTime();
public void formatTime() {
second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyTime();
I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

How to perform system copy using standard sap method (sapinst)

Hi guys
pls tel how to perform system copy using standard sap method (sapinst) and to perform enterprise portal RESTORSTION.
thanks
kamal

Hi Kamal,
I have done a system copy of the production portal to a sandpit system before. The system copy export import method works very well, and is easy. For my portal, the whole procedure took me less than 6 hours.
1. Go to this page: System Copy and Migration
2. See the videos "Demo: How to Perform a System Copy Export" and "Demo: How to Perform a System Copy Import".
This should give you the basic idea.
I did a systemcopy using sapinst. If I remember right, this is the steps I performed:
1. On target host, Installed a new Central services.
2. On source host: Ran sapinst system copy export for Central Instance and Database instance. This created two export files (depending on your database size).
3. Used the export files created in previous step to run the import step in target host.
4. Some post processing steps, like configuring sso, creating systems in system landscapes, configuring WD JCos etc.
Let me know if you need more help.
Cheers
Rishi

FCS and image sequences (TGA...) : how works the proxy creation?

Hello,
I would like to know how work FCS with image sequences (TGA, TIFF sequences...) for proxy creation.
For example, the image sequences are created by 3D workstation at the speed of one frame per second.
Does FCS create a proxy each time the folder is checked? The old proxy is delated?
Thank you for your answer

Jim is right. You can't replace a clip with an image sequence.
If you are rendering your comps from one system, follow Jim's sage advice.
But, in the cases when I do a multi-system network 3d render, there is
no way for all systems to write to the same Uncompressed AVI file...
so rendering to an image sequence is the only option.
You say:
...for speed reasons - converting them to lower res quicktime files
and using those to edit in Premiere Pro.
You might consider converting your sequences to both a low-res proxy for editing,
and also convert to full-res lossless codec AVI files at the same time for swapping out later.

How to check system status from Windows command line?

Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
The only idea we have is to use
tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
which isn't as nice as startsap check.

Hi,
In windows you can use the command
go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
If you want any other information please reply back to me.
Thanks,
Chaitanya.

How to Sync System Clock with Internet Time in Windows 7?

"Internet Time" tab is missing in Clock Settings as shown in below link.
http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/7maintenance/windows-seven-7-sync-system-clock-with-internet-time-how-to/
Please suggest how to Sync System Clock with Internet Time in Windows 7?
Regards, Dharmendra, Bangalore (India)

The note at the bottom of the first link from Alex Verboon has the following, which worked on my Domain-associated Windows 7 system:
Synchronizing with an Internet time server
You can synchronize your computer clock with an Internet time server. This means that the clock on your computer is updated to match the clock on the time server, which can help ensure that the clock on your computer is accurate. Your clock is typically updated
once a week and needs to be connected to the Internet for the synchronization to occur.
Note
If your computer is on a domain, you can't synchronize your clock with an Internet time server.
Open Date and Time by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Date and Time.
Click the Internet Time tab, and then click Change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server, select a time server, and then click OK.
