Implement Best Practice in existing system

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the smartest way to implement best practice.
The only problem is that it is to be implemented in an existing landscape containing a Finance solution.
We will implement IM&C which mainly comes with complete new configuration.
It is more or less impossible to implement the Best Practise in the existing system, so we have to install a new system on the correct support package and create transport requests from this system to the existing development system.
Now we face the problem of overwriting existing code in the development system.
Any one with any experience of similar problems?
All help is appreciated.
Regards Fredrik

SAP HCM Implementation: Best Practice for configuring

Hi,
This is my first independent project of HCM implementation. I have just started the system configuration. Done with setting up the PA, PSA, EG and ESG. Assigned to CC. At this stage, I have a very basic question which is, what is the best practice for the next steps of configuration. What do I go to next, step up the OM in the SAP EasyAccess Menu? How should I go from here?
Would really appreciate some explanatory assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Best Practice for setting systems up in SMSY

Good afternoon - I want to cleanup our SMSY information and I am looking for some best practice advice on this. We started with an ERP 6.0 dual-stack system. So I created a logical component Z_ECC under "SAP ERP" --> "SAP ECC Server" and I assigned all of my various instances (Dev, QA, Train, Prod) to this logical component. We then applied Enhancement Package 4 to these systems. I see under logical components there is an entry for "SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE". Now that we are on EhP4, should I create a different logical component for my ERP 6.0 EhP4 systems? I see in logical components under "SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE" there are entries for the different products that can be updated to EhP4, such as "ABAP Technology for ERP EHP4", "Central Applications", ... "Utilities/Waste&Recycl./Telco". If I am supposed to change the logical component to something based on EhP4, which should I choose?
The reason that this is important is that when I go to Maintenance Optimizer, I need to ensure that my version information is correct so that I am presented with all of the available patches for the parts that I have installed.
My Solution Manager system is 7.01 SPS 26. The ERP systems are ECC 6.0 EhP4 SPS 7.
Any assistance is appreciated!
Regards,
Blair Towe

Hello Blair,
In this case you have to assign products EHP 4 for ERP 6 and SAP ERP 6 for your system in SMSY.
You will then have 2 entries in SMSY, one under each product, the main instance for EHP 4 for ERP 6 must be central applications and the one for SAP ERP 6 is SAP ECC SERVER.
This way your system should be correctly configured to use the MOPZ.
Unfortunately I'm not aware of a guide explaining these details.
Some times the System Landscape guide at service.sap.com/diagnostics can be very useful. See also note 987835.
Hope it can help.
Regards,
Daniel.

ESS Implementation Best Practice

I am implementing the latest version of Portal on Netweaver 7.0. When the business package is loaded onto the server, I get a folder in PCD at Portal Content > Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Employee Self-Service.
I'm curious what the best practice is for implementing any changes to the content in that folder. Should I copy the entire folder into my own folder in the PCD (by where all my BI objects are for example) and then make the changes I need? If I do that and we later upgrade, will these objects be updated? Or is the best thing to do just copy the ones I'm going to make slight changes to and have everything still referencing back to the "Content Provided By SAP" folder?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Create a new folder and copy the PCD objcets you want as a delta link. This way you changes will be preserved without impacting the original objects. Then if you upgrade, the new objects will inherit the new features into your delta link.

Best practice for existing target table

We want to develop mappings for existing target tables.
1. The tables are imported from the datadictionary
2. The tables are used in the mappings
Is it a good idea to set deploy to no for these tables, to prevent them from beeing used by the deplomentmanager (default action:create)?
Thanks your for a good practice
Stp

Hi,
Yes, you are right. for the tables which already exist in the database schema the deployment actions should be "None". Unless you planned and made any changes to the table structures.

Best practice usage of system users for different RFC functions execution

Hello experts,
Could you guys share your thoughts on RFC type 3 - system userid usage:
Would it be recommended to use ONE RFC destination (type 3) for execution of various functions?
Is it recommended using the different RFC destinations (type 3) (with different system user ids) depending on the functions execution?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Thanks
Himadama

Thanks Julius for your information.
Option 1: System user id / password:
Password is sent over the network. But SNC control would take care of this.
1 destination = 1 system userid
If the useru2019s password is compromised the risk would be limited to that destination function group (RFC_NAME in S_RFC auth object)
System users only need RFC authorizations (S_RFC).
Only monitoring System users would be enough.
Better password management if required.
Option 2: u201CCurrent Useru201D option:
One user may need access for more than one function groups access ( RFC_NAME).
Compromising user's password would result more damage than the system user. Since this user has broad access to execute multiple function groups.
Monitoring these users would be overloaded job in this case becoz of increased users numbers.
The management of authorizations (roles) to these users may require strict approval process.
Option 3: Trusted system option:
u2022          RFC_SYSID :
u2022          RFC_CLIENT:
u2022          RFC_USER : ' '
u2022          RFC_EQUSER: Y (for Yes)
u2022          RFC_TCODE : *
u2022          RFC_INFO :
u2022          ACTVT     : 16
Seems user requires both the auth objects S_RFCACL and S_RFC in this case.
Compromising user's password would result more damage than the system user. Since this user has broad access to execute multiple function groups.
Monitoring these users would be overloaded job in this case becoz of increased users numbers.
The management of authorizations (roles) to these users may require strict approval process.
Would you say considering the system userid/password is better option than other methods with SNC control in place? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks
Himadama

Which hard drive config is the best for an existing system?

Hy there,
We have this system:
DELL PRECISION T3500 64 BITS CPU
INTEL XEON W3520 2.67GHZ 266 MHZ 4 CORE - 12 GB RAM
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTS450
MATROX RTX2 - 5.1.2.8
PREMIERE PRO CS5 (5.02)
WINDOWS 7 PRO
SYSTEM HD 500 MB
With this HD config:
B: EXPORT (partioned with C:) - 7200 rpm (250GB) sata - to this HD we export all final media
C: SYSTEM (partioned with B:) - 7200 rpm (250GB) sata
D:AV - PROJECTS + SCRATCH (MEDIA PREVIEWS) - 1 TB sata - here are the captured audio/video, Premiere projects, previews, mxtemp, etc.
Now we will install another 3TB 7200 rpm Barracuda HD, so we need to reorganize everithing in way to eliminate the partition (?) and redirect everithing for a better result.
So which config we must to use with ?
Thanking beforehand
ALBERTO

Thanks Harm for your prompt answer,
We will rearrange the discs and use the 3TB HD for the Media and Projects.
Hypotesis: The 3500 have an external e-sata connector, if we'll connect an extra 7200 rpm HD the performance won't fall in case the Preview and Exports were alocated there?

HowTo/Best Practice: Fill existing PDF Form by Reports

Hi,
we have a pdf form which should be filled by Reports.
We don't want to build this form manually in Reports with all the fields and graphics.
Is there a way to transform an existing pdf form to rdf?
Can we use this pdf as background inside the rdf?
Does anybody has other ideas to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Florian.

Thanks, Rainer,
am I right? You are describing the BI-Publisher way... unfortunately customer has no BIP... :-(
There is just Oracle Reports.
The approach of Andreas (+"For using it as background, create an item out of the pdf and import it using Insert->Image"+) doesn't work for me because customer needs RTF output.
And there is a bug in RTF generation of Reports:
If you generate RTF output with images inside and you use MS Office 2003/2007 for viewing/editing then images are scaled to 133% :-(

System requirement tp install Utilities Best practices(utilities-V1.500)

Hello All,
We want to install SAP Best Practices for Utilities (UTILITIES - V1.500) in our landscape. I checked the system requirements proposed by SAP and observed that most of the s/w releases they are reffering to are ECC5 (500) and our system is at release ECC6 (600). I beleive that there will be a lot of changes in the config nodes of ECC6 from ECC5. So if we install it in our landscape then will it cause a conflict in configuration? So is it advisable to install Utilities Best Practices in our system? Please find below the system requirement proposed by SAP for installation of best practice and RTD system Configuration.

AIX 5.3 best practices for oracle DB 10.2.0.4

customer is using AIX 5.3 (AIX PROD_aix 3 5 000CA2A2D900) and DB version is 10.2.0.4
DB is critical & Recently getting migrated to AIX from WIndows.
To make sure we don't face any probs after migration,we are implementing best practices at OS level .. so far we've implemented following.
1)All dbf's are existing on JFS2 filesystem -- We've enabled CIO for mount points(dbf's,redo's)
2)Changed the AIX_THREAD_SCOPE to S , previously AIX_thread_scope was set to P
3)Changed minperm% to 5% and maxperm% to 20%
Do we need to change the memory page size to best fit DB needs? or do we need to use large pages?,Any Document available from IBM? what is default pagesize used(how to check)?
How to check NIC is 100mbps or 1gbps?what is the command.
thanks in advance..

IBM whitepaper "Oracle Architechture and Tuning on AIX" might be a good starting point. Not just a list of "magic" settings, but some real content as well.
Some comments about the settings you've implemented so far:
1) Be sure to use an allocation unit size of 512B for filesystems storing redo logs and control files, it's required for direct i/o to work correctly.
3) Since you're using CIO, it might be a good idea to set VMM to steal only file pages (lru_file_repage).
As for the large pages, you have quite a few options. Smaller large pages can be handled more dynamically, whereas bigger ones can provide more performance gains, but can also cause problems if you over-allocate. But, if you didn't need to use large pages on Windows, chances are that you might not necessarily need them on AIX either.
And as always, be careful with "best practices" and "rules of thumb"; it's far better to test different configurations thoroughly than to blindly rely on generic recommendations based on Codd knows what.

CRM - how to work with Best Practices

Hi All,
we will start with the implementation of mySAP CRM during the next weeks.
I'm a bit confused - how should I work with Best Practices, and what are the differences between the 3 ways for Best Practices
1) we have a 'Solution Manager' System where I can use Best Practices for CRM
2) Best Practices on help.sap.com: http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv250/CRM_DE/html/index_DE.htm (Buliding Blocks!)
3) Best Practices DVD to install on the CRM System
Are the 3 ways exchangeable? Is there some information provided by SAP?
We have already installed the Best Practices DVD, but now I don't know how to use this Add-On: Is there a special transaction-code to use them or a extension for the IMG?
regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan Kübler,
If the solution manager is in place, then the suggested (also the best) method is to use the best practices on it.
If you want to install and use the best practices with CRM system then the procedure is given in the best practice CD/DVD. Also you can download the installation procedure from the below link : http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm. Click on Installation on left and then Quick Guide on right. Download the document.
Though the best practices give you a way to start with, but they cant replace your requirement. You have to configure the system as per your exact business requirement.
I never installed best practices before, but extensively used them as reference in all my projects.
Follow the below thread for additional information on best practices :
Also refer to my past thread :
Do not forget to reward if helps.

MRP Exception Messages - Best practices

Dear colleagues,
I am currently dealing with a large SAP installation where system is already live in 50+ countries and the number of manufacturing plants are in hundreds. MRP generates exception messages but the volume is significantly high. Planners have lost faith in these messages thus the client is not getting the full benefit of reacting to MRP exceptions.
Have any of you dealt with similar business situations? If yes, what best practices and what system design have you put in place to simplify the process of resolving exception messages.
Thanks,
PKV

Hello Pavan,
MD06 should be the planner's best friend as it helps him be on top of all the future expected shortfalls, talk to production schedulers or Vendors to bring material on time for production/deliver to customer.
Best way to handle exception messages in a plant is to divide it by MRP controllers, procurement types external or internal.
Planners have to analyse MD06 after every MRP run if possible. Atleast once a week go through their MD06.
However as per my experience most places the material master planning data is not as clean as the planners would like to have. But MD06 offers them an opportunity to update the material master as per their choice. ie planners can change planned delivery time, mrp lot size, mrp type etc..
You may have to find out why the planners have lost faith in MRP messages. System(MRP) can give you a good result only if master data is good.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ram
