Initial SERC Load with OCC

Dear Experts,
I hope that everyone is fine and healthy.  I am stuck with SAP EH&S problem and as SAP EHS consultant, I was hoping that we can share knowledge. . I was hoping that one of you guys can help me. I want to upload substance with open content connector for SERC database with XML file but I am not able to get the initial load from XML file in to SAP.  I have already created RFC and I can call OCC from CG02 via data determination but I cannot upload substances from XML file via OCC to SAP. Has anyone got experience with initial SERC  database  via OCC ?
Can you give me some advice?
Thank you in advanced for your help.
With kind regards,
Maywand

Dear Maywand
it is not "clear" how you have prepare the OCC and XML file to be used in upload.
To use OCC you need to prepare "mappings" etc. Starting from hit list you can do as mentioned by Ralph initlal upload and delta upload.
Do you get a "screen" showing the spec (some core data like identifier) and the data you would like to upload? Which "preparation" steps to use OCC has been done? (check OCC documentation on your local file for proper set up of OCC and check the OSS note mentioned in SAP online help etc. etc.)
May be thiscould be of interest:
Examples of Data sharing demands in SAP EHS Management using XML
Rule Sets / Secondary Data Determination
As shown in second document: there are not more that 20 thread regarding OCC. Seems to be that this tool is either not used or that no issue come up in use.
C.B.
PS: aas mentioned in Import of Data - Specification Management (EHS-BD-SPE) - SAP Library
There are two options to use OCC. One in dialog modus (online) and second offline modus. I assume you would like to use first mode?

  • Initial load with LOBs

    Hi, i'm trying to do an inital load and I keep getting errors like these:
    ERROR OGG-01192 Oracle GoldenGate Capture for Oracle, ext1.prm: Trying to use RMTTASK on data types which may be written as LOB chunks (Table: 'TESTDB.BLOBTABLE').
    ERROR OGG-01668 Oracle GoldenGate Capture for Oracle, ext1.prm: PROCESS ABENDING.
    The table looks like this:
    COLUMN_NAME|DATA_TYPE|NULLABLE|DATA_DEFAULT|COLUMN_ID|COMMENTS
    UUID     VARCHAR2(32 BYTE)     No          1     
    DESCRIPTION     VARCHAR2(2000 BYTE)     Yes          2     
    CONTENT     BLOB     Yes          3     
    I've checked and the source database does contain data in the blobtable and both databases have the same tables, so now I have no idea what can be wrong? =/

    For initial loads with LOBs, use a RMTFILE and a normal replicat. There are a number of things that are not supported with "RmtTask". A "rmtfile" is basically the same format as a 'rmttrail' file, but is specifically for initial loads or other "captured" data that is not a continuous stream. And make sure you do have a newer build of GG (either v11 or a latest 10.4 from the support site).
    The 'extract' would look something like this:
    ggsci> add extract e1aa, sourceIsTable
    ggsci> edit param e1aa
    extract e1aa
    userid ggs, password ggs
    -- either local or remote
    -- extFile dirdat/aa, maxFiles 999999, megabytes 100
    rmtFile dirdat/aa, maxFiles 999999, megabytes 100
    Table myschema1.*;
    Table myschema2.*;
    Then on the target, use a normal 'replicat' to read the "files".
    Note that if the source and target are both oracle, this is not the most efficient way to instantiate the target. Using export/import or backup/restore (or any other mechanism) would usually be preferable.

  • Initial customizing loads (DNL_*) causing short dumps in R/3

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run the initail loads for the DNL_* customizing objects.  When I start a load in R3AS and check the status in R3AM1, it shows "Running".  In the CRM oubound queue (SMQ1), there is an entry for the load with status SYSFAIL.  The detailed status message is "The current application triggered a termination with a short dump". 
    The short dump in R/3 shows an error "No external system (such as CRM) connected" which occurs in function module CRM_FIRST_CALL_OPERATIONS.  Looking at the code, there seems to be a problem with the CRMRFCPAR table.  I had only one record in this table for object CUSTOMER_MAIN, so I tried adding a record with Object Name "*" and Load Type "I", but this had no effect. 
    What is the proper configuration of table CRMRFCPAR for customizing loads?  Is it possible that this error is related to some other config or a problem with the RFC connection?  These loads work fine in our quality system which is configured the same as production (as far as I can tell).
    Thanks.

    hi,
    Maintaining Table CRMRFCPAR (SAP R/3)
    The parameters in this table indicate the RFC destinations which receive data. The required parameters include, for example: consumer, client, object name, and download type.
    You can send data to a certain consumer only in an initial download and not in a delta download by making the appropriate specifications for the data exchange.
    User- That uses the OLTP plug-in functions as data receivers
    Object name -Object name
    Destination -Specifies the destination of the CRM server
    Load Type -Restricts CRMRFCPAR entries to the initial (I) or delta (D) download.
    Out Queue - Name RFC outbound queue
    In Queue -Name RFC inbound queue
    BAPI name
    INFO -Information/Comments
    InQueue flag- Controls whether qRFC inbound queues are used on the CRM server
    Send XML -XML supports (Should data be sent in XML format?)
    Stop data -Causes the OLTP System to place data into the outbound queue.

  • Problem installing Circuit Design Suite - "Error while initializing resource loader"

    I am attempting to install v 10.0.1 of the Circuit Design Suite (Education and Student Edition).  Immediately after starting the install process I get the message "Error while initializing Resource Loader!" and the installer exits.  My computer meets the minimum system requirements (512 MB RAM, 20 GB free hard drive space, Windows XP, etc).
    Any suggestions for how to work around this problem so I can get Multisim installed?

    Hi John,
    I'm not sure if you still have issues with the Multisim installer. But just in case here are some comments:
    Are you using a CD to install Multisim? If yes, try copying the installer to your hard drive.
    Try installing Multisim on a different machine.
    Apparently the Resource Loader is related to Java, try un-reinstalling it, upgrading to the latest release, etc.
    Let us know how it works,

  • OIM Initial Data Load - Suggestion Please

    Hi,
    I have the following scenario :
    1.My client is currently having 2 systems 1.AD and 2.HR application.
    2.HR application is having only Employee Information.(it contains information like firstname,lastname,employeenumber etc)
    3.AD is having both employees and contractor information
    4.Client wanted my HR application to be the trusted source but the IDM login ID of existing users should be same us that of AD samaccount name.
    I am using OIM 9.0 and 9041 connector pack.What would be the best way to do the initial data loading in this case?.Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Can you tell me how do you relate employee in HR to corresponding record in AD.Then I will be in better situation to explain how you can do it.
    But even without this information following approach will solve your requirment.
    1.Do the trusted recon from AD.
    2.samAccountName will be mapped to user id field of OIM profile.
    3.Do the trusted recon with HR.The matching key should be the answer of my above question.
    4.For trusted recon with HR remove the Action "Create User" on No Match Found event.
    Hope this will help.

  • Initial Inventory Load - 561 mvmt type, FIFO Valuation

    Hello,
    We have a requirement wherein the client wants to have the Initial Inventory Load (Mvmt 561) to be valuated as FIFO.
    My understanding is, Initial Inventory Load will always be valuated at Std. Price / Moving Avg. Price.
    Can we have Initial Inventory Load valuated using FIFO, if so can you please explain in detail.
    Note: Not every Material being loaded is Batch Managed and am not sure if Batch Mgmt is a requirement for FIFO valuation.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Bharat.

    FIFO is a year end valuation,
    you can load initial inventory with 561 and use the external value field to enter whatever value you want, SAP then updates the MAP in material master accordingly.

    Hello,
    I think SAP ME is trying to work with DB using Oracle syntax while you have a MS SQL. This can be because of improper -Ddb.vendor setting. Please, refer to Installation Guide for SAP ME 5.2, section 4.1, step 12 (or near that). There should be something like this:
    12. Expand the template node and choose the instance node located in the navigation tree. Choose the
    VM Parameters and Additional tabs containing JVM settings and add the following settings:
    -Dsce.home=set to the AppServer directory specified during installation
    -Ddb.vendor=ORACLE | SQLSERVER
    -Dvm.bkg.processor=true
    Check this settings in your installation, maybe it matters.

  • Execute search programatically during initial page load.

    hi,
    when the page is initially rendered, i have requirement to have the page automatically retrieve rows that belong to the user (ie execute a search programatically)
    to achieve that i did the following -
    1. created search page using autocustomizationcriteria
    2. mapped all search fields to corresponding VO fields ( i intend to not override the default where clause since all my search can directly be mapped to a VO attribute)
    3.populated the userlogin value into the corresponding search field as follows -
    String lg = pageContext.getUserName();
    OAMessageLovInputBean lovBean = (OAMessageLovInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("searchLogin"); //the searchfield is a messageLOVInput
    lovBean.setValue(pageContext, lg);
    the behavior i was expecting is for the page to automatically generate the where clause since i populated the search field that is mapped to the VO attribute and execute the query (i did not invoke executequery() per dev guide) BUT instead it is executing a BLIND query with no where clause.
    would appreciate any insight into what i am doing wrong....
    thank you.

    hi, i had initially done the setting of the whereclause and executing programatically. however, when you do that, subsequently, the 'Go' button also needs to be handled programatically (including all search criteria whereclause generation) and then you loose all the features of the queryBean especially the different search options (eg like , starts with etc) on the Advanced Panel unless you code for all those features yourself...... NOTE - the need to handle the 'Go' button yourself happens even though after executeQuery() for just the initial page load, i reset the whereclause and whereclauseparams to NULL....
    i also do not have a formvalue associated with the searchlogin field.
    any other inputs please ?
    thank you.

  • Initial Balance Loading for Oracle Payroll - US Legislation

    Dears,
    We are in process of Oracle Payroll implementation for US Legislation R12.1.3, any i have Questions related to initial Balance Loading:
      1- It is a mandatory Step to set initial values for the legislative defined balances?
      2- What is the aim for this step?
      3- What is the impact if we ignore this step?
      4- Steps?
      5- What is the Elements i need to initial values for the balances?
      6- What is the Balances i need to initialize for each elements?
    Note: kindly note that i read related Metalink posts, but i need it more clearly.
    Please advice, it is Urgent
    Thank you

    1.     Prepare your Balances data with the following Details and build Batches.
    pay_balance_batch_lines
    (assignment_id, balance_dimension_id,
    balance_type_id, payroll_action_id, batch_id,
    batch_line_id, batch_line_status, VALUE,
    assignment_number,
    balance_name, dimension_name,
    gre_name, jurisdiction_code,
    original_entry_id, tax_unit_id,upload_date
    2.     Run the Initial Balance Structure Creation Program.
    This program defines/creates the Element for Initial Balance Feed to all the Balances involved in the Batch.
    3.     Run the Initial Balance Upload Program in Validate Mode
    This program when run in Validate Mode, validates the Batch to look for Errors if any. No Balances are loaded into the system.
    4.     Once the Initial Balance Upload Program completes successfully in Validate Mode then Run the Initial Balance Upload Program in Transfer Mode.
    5.     If you run into Errors then Run the Initial Balance Upload Program in Undo Transfer Mode, fix the issues and start from step 2 else Process Completed!!!
    All the Legislative Balances need to be uploaded correctly. there is a long list of Fed, SS, Medicare and State/Local Balances for US.
    We had challenges with Pre Tax Deductions that didn't update the Fed, SS and Med Taxable Wages correctly and had to make many Adjustments end of the Year.
    Do a Regular Batch Balance Adjustments if possible, this will be a simple activity and will assure you that all Tax Balances will be accurate.
    Initial Balance uploads cann't be archived, so there Balances will be missing in your Reportigns based on Archived data in pay_Action_information

  • I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect"

    I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect", which is Windows lingo for "missing package dependencies".  All the computers at my company with 2010 loaded seem to do OK.  When I do a Dependencies Walk I get missing Visual C debug dll's missing plus IEshims and wer which both have a whole tree of dependencies missing on my machine.  The Windows install is the same "Windows XP version 2002 Service Pack 3" on my PC and the working PC's. So I'm thinking I have to uninstall 2011 and go back to 2010.  Is this correct?  Those VC debug dll's were installed on the machines with 2010 in them but were not installed in mine.
    I've heard the advice to recompile the dll with debug turned off but I don't have access to the source code.
    Thanks in advance.

    u87 wrote:
    Thanks for the reply.  This at least tells me that going back to LV2010 is not likely to solve the problem.  The missing dll's are:
    MFC90D.dll
    MSVCR90D.dll
    IESHMS.dll
    WER.dll
    And, once again, IESHMS and WER have other dependencies.  So perhaps i need to install the Visual C++ development environment.
    IESHIMS.dll is an Internet Explorer DLL that gets usually delay loaded by shdocvw.dll. As delay load it can not cause DLL load errors but only runtime errors. Maybe your DLL has it as direct dependency but that is unlikely since it does not have a documented interface.
    WER.dll is Windows error reporting for Vista/Win7.
    MFC90D.dll is the Microsoft Foundation classes and MSVCR90D.dll is the MS C runtime library, both as debug variant.
    So all the DLLs you mention are actually MS DLLs! You haven't identified the DLL that you try to access in LabVIEW that causes these error messages. IESHIMS and WER are usually delay loaded by any component that needs it and should not likely be used by non MS code.
    What is the DLL you try to load into LabVIEW and by whom? Get the provider of that DLL to provide you a non Debug build of the DLL. Installing Visual C on all the machines just to make the DLL load is not a solution, besides that it is likely not legal since I doubt you have that many licenses.

  • Cube loaded with data, but unavailable in the query

    Hello everyone,

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on the latest Macbook Pros? (the ones pre-loaded with Lion)

    The problem and solution is pretty simple, I just want to know if anyone has tried this before. I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought more or less for the sole purpose of having a more powerful machine to run AVID Media Composer on. AVID is only compatible up to OS version 10.6.7 at the moment, and the machine I got was pre-loaded with Lion, 10.7....So I look at the support documentation Apple provides, and notice that in the nifty little chart they have, the latest line of Macbook Pros out there (early 2011) originally had version 10.6.6, so I'm assuming that's the previous version I can't downgrade past.
    To revert back to Snow Leopard, however, I need to install it from the DVD which has version 10.6.3 on it, and then upgrade to any version between Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Lion 10.7. In theory this could work, the only problem being that for a brief time between installing Snow Leopard and updating to the version of it that I need, the computer will have version 10.6.3 on it.
    Now I'm pretty sure if the only thing I do on the computer is immediately update to a safe-to-use version, there will be no problems. However, if the machine's hardware is so terribly non-backwards compatible with the Snow Leopard OS, I may do all this backing up and reverting and not even be able to start the computer once I get the old install on it. Before I just go ahead and try this for myself, I was wondering if anyone else has, and more importantly, have you had any success?

    Hi r,
    EDIT: disregard my post. Waiting for that disc is a far better option.
    I hope w won't mind if I add a thought here:

    Now I don't mind if some drivers are messed up and resolution is all funky when I install 10.6.3 on it, I just need to know if it'll be functional to the point where I can run the 10.6.6 update dmg. Once I update to 10.6.6 everything should work fine.
    Or could I install 10.6.3, have the 10.6.6 update burned to a disc, and boot straight from that? This is my first Mac so I'm not sure what little tricks work or not.
    Your first idea may work; the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do, make sure you download and run the Combo update for 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. There can be different versions of a point update, those which are available for download, and those which ship on Macs, so you want to install one beyond that which shipped with some of the new MBPs.
    If the MBP won't boot to 10.6.3, something else to try is installing it to an external HD, then installing the 10.6.7 update on it, clone it to the MPB's internal HD, and run the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Combo update on it.
