Is it possible SAP BI 3.5 and BI 7.3 will be able to extract data.........?

Scenario
I am currently using BI 3.5 and now we are implementing BI 7.3 on a different server from the 3.5 one. We want to run the 3.5 one temporarily for sometime till BI 7.3 comes in full effect , so my Query is that whether we will be able to extract data from same R/3 server and source system.
For example, the concept of setup table and Delta Queue will both of our BI servers able to extract data from them at the same time or what will be the procedure.
Please guide me through this query.

Actually to which of the infocpackage it will give priority. 3.5 or 7.3?
Also I just want to ask that , as in your first reply you said that the cubes cannot be upgraded .... but why?
And if I am doing new fresh implementation ...........will there be any prerequisites?

HT5312 So when I verify my rescue email and send it, I will be able to get the answers to my security question?

I have been trying for the last week to get my security questions. I was told if I change my password I would be able to, did that didn't work. I am so confused and honestly I just really need someone who has done it before and who can thoroughly explain it tell me. Or someone who knows a where I can get clear information, because the info page apple has is.......ll.. Long and frustrating -_-

You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them; it isn't otherwise possible to set up a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions

I am experiencing a few problems with my TC and hope that someone will be able to help please.

My first problem is that my time capsule flashes yellow and when I checked as per previous advice (Applications-Utilities-Airport Utility - amber dot) the information stated that the internet connection was disconnected, but I was accessing my TC using wifi and all seemed to be ok.
The second problem is that when complete my back up, it seems to go smoothly and register as 'backed-up' but then I receive a message stating that the "Time Machine (Capsule?) could not verify my back up because the back up disc is not available. Make sure the computer and back up disc are on the same network and back up disc is turned on. Then try again to verify your back-ups."
And finally, I would like to change the name of my Time Capule and access password. I do not seem to be able to do this.
I am an older user and not highly computer savvy but follow very precise directions and screenshots well.
Thank you very much for your support and suggestions.

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

My i phone 3gs seems to have crashed and all that is on the screen is the i tunes logo and the usb cable, will i lose all my data if i restore the phone or is there a way of doing it without losing all data ?

Connect your iphone to your computer
Hold down the home button and the power button until the screen goes blank

TS5376 iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open instructions talk about uninstalling and installing iTunes. Will I loose all my data?

Apple recomments uninstalling and installing iTunes and other Apple related software. Will I loose my data?
Thank you!

Rather than using the Apple document as a guide, I currently recommend using the following user tip instead:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

The only account on my macbook is a standard account. I need to somehow get an administrator account. How can I do that, and if I do, will I lose all my data?

I got my macbook from my dad a while back, and I tried to make me the administrator. But in doing so, I somehow activated a root user, and now my account (which is also the only account now) is a standard one, so I can not download apps, etc. How can I fix this without losing my files?

Option 1
If you've enabled root logins, log in as root and promote the other user to an admin.
Option 2
Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) and restore your system from the last Time Machine snapshot taken before the damage was done, if you know when that was. Afterwards you can restore any data that has changed since then from a later snapshot. If you’re an advanced user familiar with the shell, there may be a quicker fix, but I prefer not to get into that.
Option 3
Back up all data, then boot in single-user mode (command-S at startup.) When the text stops scrolling, follow the prompts to make the boot volume writable. Then enter the following command:
ls /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
You should get the following line of output below what you entered:
/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
If you do, then very carefully enter the following command:
rm !$
Now you should get the following output:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Then enter
reboot
The system will boot into the Setup Assistant, as if you were setting it up for the first time. Skip the prompt to transfer information. Create a user with the same name as the old admin user. Log in and test. You may need to recreate your other user accounts, if any. The files won't be deleted.

How to extract data from CLOB and insert them into DB?

Hi PL/SQL Gurus,
I have no experience in PL/SQL, but I have a requirement now where I have to use it.
We have a table with 10 columns, one of them is a CLOB and it holds XML data. The XMLs are very huge in size.
Two new columns are added to the table and the data has to be filled for the existing records from the corresponding XML. The XML has all the data as attributes. I started searching on the internet and tried if I could extract the data out of XML.
SELECT extractValue(value(x), '/Order/Package/@Code',
'xmlns:ns0="http://mycompany.com/Order/OrderType.xsd"' )
FROM ORDER_TABLE A
, TABLE(
XMLSequence(
extract(
xmltype(A.XML_DATA)
, '/ns0:Root'
, 'xmlns:ns0="http://mycompany.com/Order/OrderType.xsd"'
) x;
But this isn't working. Could anyone please provide some ideas.
I just want to confirm that I am able to extract data. Once this is done I would like to create a procedure so that all the existing records can be updated.
Thanks in advance.

Fazzy

A universe from SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP BW 7.3... Possible?

Hello,
We are looking to create one universe from two SAP data sources;
1) SAP ECC 6.0 with EHP5 and
2) SAP BW 7.3
Can this be done?
In UDT there is a SAP BW connection that can satisfy need for cubes but connection to ECC is a challenge.
I think it's possible in in CR 2011 but exploring webi options.
Any suggestion / work around ?.
Thanks,

Hi,
With Feature Pack 03 (ramp up registration open now, and RU starts ~16 March), you will be able to use IDT driver to access ECC (R/3) data. and generate a universe.
In the current, 4.0 SP02 Patch2.x codeline, you cannot do the above.
today, You can create a Multi Source-enabled Universe (UNX in IDT) for relational BW-SQL access to underlying BW table schema (by passing OLAP engine and all BEx semantic concepts.)
But - if you have the XI 3.1 Data Federator product already - then you can go from IDT, and use the DF XI3.1 as a datasource into a UNX universe.
I have not tried combining BW-SQL and DF 3.1 connections into a MSU universe.
Yes, using CR 2011, you can consume ECC.
I'd recommend joining ramp up (go via your account team) and evaluating the new features asap.

H

Dear Kasi
its not a problem if you are working on IDES.
Enter T code SE16N.
Enter table name MARV. Press enter.
Enter your company code in the required field. Press enter.
Enter   &SAP_EDIT   in the place where you entered the T code. Press enter. Now it is in edit mode.
Execute (click on Clock icon). A new screen appears.
Enter The Current Year: Current Month: Year of the previous Month: Previous month: Last year: Last month of the calendar year. As asked in the screen.
Press enter. Save and come outside.
Please do remember all the time period should be as per your system calendar.
Also do remember this is only workable when you are using IDES for education purpose only. Because skipping so many periods in between can cause problems when you are on real time scenario. Using MMPV is the standard procedure where you close the periods one by one.
Try it.
Update forum.

Posting only possible in periods 2011/11 and 2011/10 in company code 4000

Hi All Experts,
I have encountered with this error while doing MIGO.
Posting only possible in periods 2011/11 and 2011/10 in company code 4000
Message no. M7053
Diagnosis
The posting date entered is not within one of the permitted posting periods (current period/previous period).
This can be due to one of two reasons:
The correct current period has not been set in the system.
For the system, the first of the entered periods is the current period. At the beginning of a new period, your systems administrator must change the current period in the material master record, using the function "Shift periods". This has not yet been done.
You have entered a wrong date in the field "Posting date".
Procedure
Check the posting date and correct it if necessary. If your input is correct, inform your systems administrator that the "period shifting" (period-end closing) process has not yet been completed.
I have checked OB52, OB29, OB37, MMPV, MMRV. All possible T.codes and threads I tried from SDN itself, still no luck ! In OB52 I have opened 2011 & 2012 year open absolute.
Would like to share MMRV settings :-
Current Period : 11 / 2011
Previous Period : 10 / 2011
Last period in prev year : 12 / 2010
We have India based client so fiscal year variant is Apr to March copied from V3.
Will be very much appreciable experts guidane !
Regards,
Sharvari Joshi.

Hi All Experts,
I raised the OSS, and here which I got the reply from SAP.
There is a possibility to run the report RMMMINIT to initialize posting
periods. Please bear in mind that the valuation data of the previous
period could get affected.
If you decide to proceed with the process, please review the
documentation of program RMMMINIT.
Please also review attached note 70545 regarding the initialization
process. Although this note is NOT valid for your release, it provides
good information on the use of initialization for correction purposes.
Additionally, please review attached note 369637 in this regard as well.
PLEASE FIRST PERFORM THIS IN A TEST/DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM PRIOR TO MOVING
TO PRODUCTION AS YOUR VALUATION DATA FROM PREVIOUS PERIOD WILL BE
AFFECTED. If you are satisfied with the results, then you can move it
to production. Please perform this at your own risk as this hotline
will not support any problems arising out of it.
Related the error message MM016 please follow the steps from note
487381:
To reserve the parameter use transaction SU01 for the user's name who
executes the RMMMINIT program. The parameter must be set as follows:
Parameter Value
MMPI_READ_NOTE YYYYMMDD (for the current date)
I am not able make out any meaning out of it. Can anyone please understand me this ?
Help will be appreciated !
Reagrds,
Sharvari Joshi.
P.S : Steps from my side which I performed , I changed the parameters for my ID in SU01 to current date 2011.11.16 (YYYYMMDD) and running MMPI still same error.

SAP CRM 7.0 and Enterprise Portal

Dear SAP Gurus ,
I have question about the New CRM WEB UI and integration to SAP Enterprise Portal .
We have been using the SAP Enterprise portal for accesing the SAP CRM functionalities before (eg create Opporutnites and Sales Order ). But with the New SAP version(7.0 and 2007 ) its possible to have its own portal.
Now the question is it possible to integrate the NEW SAP WEB UI into the existing portal ? Eg: If we want to have link in Enterprise portal with the Sales Order create functionalyt direlty without going into the stand alone CRM WEB UI . Would it be possible to directly call the Sales order service WEB UI in enterprise portal . Right now what we see is that the NEW CRM WEB UI is stand alone and for these type of fuctionalites the user need to login to the NEW web ui and then go to the create sales order screen .
Is it possible to directly embed the new UI components in the existing SAP enterprise portal ?
Many Thank for your kind advise !
Best Regards,
Ankur

Ankur,
Once you have correctly integrated to Portal following the SAP Note, you will no longer see the CRM Navigation. They will be Portal Navigation. If you have read and understood the note, it will be clear. On an overview, let me explain the steps involved.
1. You create a CRM role (based on some job role) say "Sales Rep" and have configured the CRM Web UI for all the navigation and applications. Like Account maintenance, Opportunities, Sales order create etc. etc.
2. Following the note and running a CRM transaction, you will now "Export" this CRM role to an external file. This file is very similar to a "business package". All the portal roles, pages, iVeiws etc. get created.
3. You will now "Import" this into your portal. Again follow the notes to know the loaction.
4. In the portal, you will assign this "portal role" to your users.
When these users log on to portal, they will see Portal Navigation (not the CRM navigation). So, the main point lies in defining the CRM role and get it working.
Hope you get the point....

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards
Jan Ruzarovsky
SAP Business One Product Management

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards
