Landscape question using XI

We are a SAP partner and host a SAP All-in-one solution for let's assume 10 customers. They all have their own ECC, BW and Portal instance for production.
My question is:
do they all need to have their own XI production system or should we go for one XI production system?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi,
A single XI production server will do but it will in turn arise 2 types of situations.
1) If there is a single system, then u should prevent SPOF (Single Point of Failure)

2) Using the single system may hit the performance. Load balancing could solve the problem in this case

Interactive questions using IP/TV

I am interested in how users can post questions using IP/TV while the presentation is ongoing. What is the process behind this as I don't really see how it works, any kind of insight would be useful.
Many thanks Alex

When you set up the program, you can (or not) enable interactive "from the field" questions.
The client provide a button that can be pressed to flag the presenter that a field question is pending.
The presenter can then address the questions as possible.
Depending on the scope and location of the audience, you may also consider bringing up a conference bridge for voice-based questions.
Good Luck

SLD Landscape Question

Hi
We are about to implement the SLD landscape for our PI systems.
From the documentation (SDN and HELP.SAP.COM), it is recommended to have all SLD Data Suppliers send to the PI Production SLD Bridge. The SLD data is then automatically forwarded to the DEV/QA SLD Bridge (Design Time SLD).
This is straight forward and I can see how to get the ABAP stack to look at the correct SLD Server.
However, when it comes to the JAVA stack, I can't see how to configure the SLD CLIENT of an instance in the design-time landscape to use the design-time SLD Server.
Version of Netweaver in 7.0.
Thanks
Doug

SAP Web AS (Java) 6.30/6.40 Start-up: JProbe's Direct Support
This feature is available starting with JProbe 5.2.2. For details of application server integration, refer to the JProbe documentation. Here, the single steps for the SAP application server are briefly described.
Step 1: Create an Integration for the instance to be profiled.
 Click Tools -> Application Server Integration.
 Choose SAP Application Server 6.30.
 Click Create.
 To fill out the columns, follow the help you get via tooltip.
 Specify whether server or dispatcher should be profiled.
Step 2: Create a Configuration.
 Click Tools -> Manage J2EE Configurations.
 Click Add.
 Fill in Configuration Name and Integration.
 Optionally, you could specify an application to be profiled; this is just used to help to set the correct filters for profiling. If you know which packages or classes should be profiled, you can leave these fields empty; otherwise, specify the directory where the application is deployed and the .ear or .war file in this directory.
Step 3: Create the J2EE Settings.
 Click Session -> New J2EE Settings.
 Specify the configuration.
 Specify the other options, especially set filters (optionally, you could use the application specified in the configuration for filtering).
Step 4: Use the Connection Manager.
 Different to "startup via jlaunch" below the Connection Manager has to be used.
 Click Tools -> Options -> Advanced Session; mark "Use Connection Manager."
Step 5: Check the property 'IDxxxxxx.JavaPath' in instance.properties in the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/JCxx/j2ee/cluster
 JProbe relies on the property to find Java home, but there are Web AS 6.30/6.40 SPs that do not have this property.
 If it is not included, add it for dispatcher or server (dependent on which one should be profiled)
 For example, add "ID8156650.JavaPath=C:/java/jdk1.4.2_06."
 Be aware that using the standard startup procedure instance.properties is overwritten, so you might repeat this step.
Step 6: Start the J2EE Engine with JProbe
 Start the database and the central instance (enqueue and message server).
 In JProbe click "Run" for the J2EE settings defined before.
 Dispatcher and server of the J2EE Engine will be started; the one specified in the Integration will be profiled.
SAP Web AS (Java) 6.30/6.40 Start-up: Using JProbe 5.2.x via JLaunch
Starting the Server via JLaunch
Detailed instructions how to start JLaunch can be found in the documentation of SAP Web AS (Java). Here we give only the minimal list of steps:
 1.
 Include the location of JLaunch in the PATH
 2.
 Go to base directory of dispatcher or server (depending on which one you want to start).
 jlaunch pf=c:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile\<SID>_JCxx_<Host>
 -nodename=IDxxxxxxx
 where "IDxxxxxxx" can be figured out from the "instance.properties" in directory "cluster."
Creating a JProbe Startup File
In order to start up JProbe via JLaunch, you need to create a start-up file (.jpl) with the JProbe launchpad as follows:
 1.
 Click Session -> New J2SE Settings
 2.
 Enter filters, triggers, ...
 3.
 In the Configuration main class and the classpath fields are mandatory; a dummy entry for main class is sufficient, for classpath you could use %CLASSPATH%
 4.
 Save the .jpl file
 5.
 Switch off the Connection Manager; in JProbe 5.2.x a Connection Manager is introduced, which does not work if a Java application is started from a C-framework; therefore use Tools -> Options -> Session -> Advanced to switch off the Connection Manager
 6.
 Change the .jpl file with a text editor
 Comment out the line starting with -jp_java
 Add the connection information and the snapshot directory information; related to the introduction of the Connection Manager this is not written when the .jpl file is saved in the launchpad
 o
 -jp_socket=<host for analysis>:<port> (e.g. localhost:4444)
 o
 -jp_snapshot_dir=<snapshot directory> (e.g. c:
Jprobe
snapshots)
Starting JProbe with the Server
Start JLaunch as above, but attach the following parameters to the JLaunch command line:
jlaunch pf=... -nodename=... -Xbootclasspath/a:JProbe-Base-Dir\lib\jpagent.jar
 -Xrunjprobeagent:-jp_input=.jpl-file
For the .jpl-file please, specify the complete path. If there are blanks in the file or directory names, use double quotes or the DOS notation (e.g. PROGRA~1). After starting JLaunch you can now attach the viewer to it (JProbe -> Program -> Attach to Remote/Running Session).

Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions? If not, please let me know where. Here's my question: Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder". What to do?

Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions? If not, please let me know where. Here's my question: Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder". What to do?

Thanks. Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc. This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either. I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn. Any ideas are appreciated.

HELP i just could not figure out how to find the answers to my security questions, and i do believe that the questions used to be "who was your first teacher" and "who was your favorite teacher" but now the second one is "where did you and your partner go on there first trip together, so now i'm wondering if i dont even have the answers anymore! why, have you changed the questions, and i really am having trouble following the help pages. i need help, it wont let me buy any songs or apps, so i've been saving the links and names to songs.

We are fellow users on these forums, you're not talking to Apple or iTunes Support.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

BW Landscape Question - DEV and QAS in same Environment

Hi,
I do have a doubt about the following Landscape of my client:
ECC - PRD CLNT 100 --> BW Prod
ECC- DEV CLNT 400 --> BW Dev
ECC- DEV CLNT 100
Basically
ECC- DEV CLNT 400 has MasterData but NO customizing !!
ECC- DEV CLNT 100 has NO MasterData but Cusomtizing !
First I pointed the Source System to DEV CLNT 100 but as has no MData that though was no point on having such connection.
So created the landscape as above described.
The only draw back I can see is that every time I activate some BI_CONT in BWD it replicates it in DEV CLNT 400 for which the client is not open for customization so get the message "no authorization for..."
So the procedure is to activate the Datasources (in ECC) on CLNT 100 where is open for Custo and is automatically visible on CLNT 400.
Think the landscape described above is a proper one or can see any pitfall ?
thank you,
AM

Hi Alex
Regarding your question, there is no right or wrong approach, but one has to understand the purpose of the multiple clients on a system, plan accordingly and depending on the business requirements this drives the landscape.
On a development system, you can have multiple clients for various purposes and have the BW system linked to the relevant client:
- Customizing
- Testing (prefered BW Development connection to an ERP Development system)
- Play
In response to your question, it is a good approach to following and the only pitfall would be someone trying to do transactions in the customizing client and the BW system not been able to extract the data for testing purposes.
Currently I have my BW Development system pointing a ERP Development system which contains 3 clients:
- 1 Client (i.e. 200) for Customizing (customizing only, no transaction data).
- 1 Client (i.e. 220) for Play (copy from the ERP production system which contains master and transaction data).
- 1 Client (i.e. 230) for Testing (copy from the ERP production system which contains master and transaction data).
For the testing and play clients, we can also refresh the data if required, generally we try to do this ever 3 months or when there is a large project to be done, i.e. fiscal year change).
Of these 3 clients, my BW Development system only points to the ERP System's Testing client (client 230) so that the we can test extractions on master and transaction data. All developments done in the ERP Development system for BW is done in the customizing client (client 200), since most of the development work is client independent regarding the extractors, so it would then be automatically in the testing client. We have been using this approach for the last 5 years, with no major issues.
PS: The only issue you may have is regarding the extractors that use classification (transaction CTBW) as there is a client specific issue refer to OSS Note: 588184.

Help about ESS/MSS - Deploy error and landscape question

Hi.
I read a lot of post about this topic, but I continue something confuse about them.
I want to configure ESS and MSS.
My landscape is:
- J2EE 7.0 with Portal 7.0 (2004s) in a server A.
- ECC 5.0 ( with HR component SP05) in a server B.
Server B, has only stack Abap.
Server A is the latest version of Netweaver today. (stack j2ee and stack abap, BI, XI, Portal, etc)
I download and deploy in server A (J2EE 7.0), this components:
- BP ESS for erp2004
- BP MSS for erp2004
When I deploy the ESS BP, the deployment break raising this kind of error with the most of components, for example:

===========================================================================
Deployment started Tue Apr 10 12:01:57 ART 2007

Obviously, for this reason the most of iviews raise errors. A few of these works ok.
I assign role, and others configuration steps, this part I thinks that is OK
I configured the Jco, the role in Portal, the profile in ERP for ESS, etc.
My principal question is:
Can I use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0 in order tu use ESS/MSS based on webdynpro, without stack j2ee in ECC server (B) ?
Is necesary install J2ee stack in my server B ? or not?
Where I need to deploy the XSS 500 components ? in the J2EE 7.0 ?
Why when I deploy have this problem and the most of components cant deploy it?
For my landscape, which is the recommended setup ?
thanks in advance.!
Leandro.

You can use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0
Is necesary install J2ee stack in my server B ? or not?
You don't need to install J2EE stack on ECC system
Where I need to deploy the XSS 500 components ? in the J2EE 7.0 ?
Deploy XSS on Portal server not on ECC.
Why when I deploy have this problem and the most of components cant deploy it?
There won't be any issue. Go for ERP 2005
For my landscape, which is the recommended setup ?
As per the landscape mentioned by you, I will suggest go for ERP 2005 & XSS 600.

BOE/BW landscape question

HAd a question about managing/configuring BOE in a BW environment.
We are planning to have many non-production systems in our BW landscape. (Dev, Dev+1, Product test, Performance Test, Training..etc).
If we are also including BOE in our environment (Webi, Infoview, etc), do we need a corresponding BOE environment for each BW environment?
We currenrly make all BW changes in our develpment environment and transport thru the landscape to all other environments. Wondering how that works for BO objects , what systems need to be set up, and what is best practice for this and managing changes through the landscape.
Seems that a separate BOE environment for every non-prod BW implies additional cost (hardware and licensing) and we are trying to determine the best scenario.
But also want to maitain the control of versions and changes through the landscape and ability to test them as they progress through.
Thanks.

My recommendation is to have a 1-1 setup.
There are two kinds of connections between BO and SAP.
1) Authentication connections
2) Data connections.
Authentication connections allow your SAP users to use the credentials to log into the BO system. You can indeed create more than one authentication connections within a BOBJ system.
Data connections retrieve data from SAP sources into your BOBJ reports. A single report/dashboard (WebI,CR,XCelsius) can connect to several SAP data sources at once. But you cannot dynamically change the name of the system you are connecting to. At least not by applying generic BOBJ functionality.
SAP Business Objects offers the LifeCycle Manager to help you manage the life cycle of your projects in a multi-leveled environment.
Assuming you are using a single BOBJ installation for multiple SAP systems you have to make sure that the security is well defined in order to separate your development from your production environment. You will probably have to work with separate
folders to host your different environments. In this case you will not be able to use all capabilities of the LCM (like mapping of data connections).

Very simple question: using XWS to generate static data

Hi,
I'm testing interop for JWSDP and a soon-to-be-released RSA Security, Inc. product that will also provide WSS as well as XML signatures, XML encryption, ...
I have already used JWSDP -- xmldsig -- to generate a bunch of XML docs that were signed using JWSDP (all varieties of KeyInfo, signing algos, ...).
I need to do something similar for WSS -- using xws-security.
Do I need a Web container in order to be able to do this? (Again, recalling that all I want to do is generate thousands of encrypted, signed, encrypted & signed, signed & encrypted SOAP messages (using UsernameTokens, X509Tokens, ...))
Do you have any examples that might save me some time?
I have looked through all of the examples in the "interop" and "simple" subdirs of the "samples" subdir of "xws-security" and most of these presume that there's some RPC going on, which doesn't really fit the model of what I'm trying to do here. Got any ideas? Even basic ones? Even big ones?
TIA.
Liz

I've kinda answered my own question in part:
SecurableSoapMessage ssm = new SecurableSoapMessage(soapMessage);
ssm.setFilterParameter(FilterParameterConstants.BINARY_SEC_TOKEN,new X509SecurityToken(ssm.getEnvelope().getOwnerDocument(),cert));
ExportCertificateTokenFilter estf = new ExportCertificateTokenFilter();
estf.process(ssm);
ExportSignatureFilter esf = new ExportSignatureFilter(new DirectReferenceStrategy(cert));
esf.process(ssm);
that transforms the soap message, adding the wsse xml, then I try to sign it:
SignFilter sf = new SignFilter(new X509IssuerSerialStrategy(cert));
sf.process(ssm);
and this fails saying I don't have a privatekey, which makes sense. I need to create a DefaultSecurityEnvironmentImpl probably, define the key in there and then attach that to the SecurableSoapMessage? The problem is, I have the cert and privake key stored on files, how do I go about loading that into the SecurityEnvironment? Would this SecurityEnvironment handle cert chain validation then, since it can be constructed with a trusted keystore?

How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row. For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons. With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row. Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons? Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row?
Thanks so much,
Andy

I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

Is there a way to restrict the number of attempts for a remediated question using advanced actions?

I have the following slides in my project:
content slide 1
content slide 2
question slide 1
question slide 2
Question slide 1 is a question about content slide 1. Question slide 2 is a question about content slide 2. I would like to restrict the total number of attempts to two for each question. If question 1 is answered incorrectly on the first attempt, the learner would be returned to content slide 1 for review. Clicking the next button will take the learner back to the missed quiz question and allow them a second attempt to answer it correctly. If they answer it incorrectly again, it is scored as incorrect and the learner is taken to question slide 2.
Can this be done or does remediation keep repeating until the learner answers the question correctly?
If that is the case, can I achieve my objective by using advanced actions? And, if so, can you provide step by step instructions on how to do this?

I think it could be possible, but giving you step-by-step instructions, sorry, that would take a lot of time. Did you use advanced actions already? My archived blog has a lot of use cases and tutorials, but I think it is not fair to ask on a forum for step-by-step instructions for each use case you want to create. The most important thing will be to make sure that the user always remains in the Quiz scope, you can use the new system variable cpInQuizScope while testing. There is no system variable for attempts on question level, only one on Quiz level, so you'll have to create a user variable to track the attempts on question level. A big problem is that when you leave a question slide, without using the remediation work flow, the attempts are considered as finished. Personally I would prefer for that reason to not use the default question slides. You could try out a combination of remediation and advanced actions, never did test that?

Beginner's question: Using Time Machine with a WD External Drive

Hello folks,
Could someone help me with some basic questions?
I have a MacBook with Mac OSX 10.5.5. It has Time Machine but I've never used it before. I've just obtained a Western Digital External Hard Drive which is Mac compatible but, I'm told, may not be formatted for Mac.
1. If that's the case, how do I format it for Mac so that I can use it with my MacBook? Or can I just plug-and-play?
2. Once ready to use, I'd like to use the external drive for two purposes: (a) to create back-up images of my entire computer using Time Machine, and (b) as a second drive where I can just drag-and-drop selected files when needed (e.g. so that I can put photos in a photo folder on my external instead of on my MacBook hard drive). Will my MacBook let me do this, or will using Time Machine effectively reserve the entire external hard drive for Time Machine and not allow my to drag-and-drop files?
Thanks! And Happy New Year!

Question 1:
1. Launch Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click the "erase" tab
3. Select your entire WD disk on the sidebar (the uppermost icon).
4. Format: "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"
5. Name the Disk
6. Click on "erase"
Question 2:
What is the size of your drive? If it is large enough you can partition it but Time Machine backup will "grow". So if it's important to you to save all backups you'll want to give it the whole disk. If not, you can partition the disk at the same time you format it.
Follow the steps here. It will accomplish both Q1 & Q2.

Scratch Disc Questions using Firewire External Drive & Imac

Hello. I've read through the existing questions regarding scratch disc and Photoshop, yet can't seem to find an answer to my questions. I would greatly appreciate any tips/advice. Here is my setup and situation:
I am running an iMac with a 2.16 intel core 2 duo processor, 3 GB memory, and running OS X version 10.6.4. I am currently using versions cs3 and cs4 of Photoshop, but plan to upgrade to cs5 soon.
The problem I am having is when running Photoshop, my computer becomes very slow. After reading about possible reasons, I came across a couple of sources (including Adobe themeselves) mentioning that the scratch disc should be a designated drive seperate from the drive containing the operating system. Since I am using an iMac that only allows for one internal drive, my only apparent option seems to be an external drive.
Many people say don't use an external drive, but if you are going to; use an eSATA or firewire. The imac does have firewire 800 capabilities. Should I consider this?
Now I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to purchase a macbook for my next computer (what I wanted to do) because it will also only have one drive, not allowing for a seperate drive for the scratch disc. Any thoughts? I've read around the net but haven't found any definitive answers.

Designer,
Photoshop benefits greatly from having a scratch disk on a separate physical drive, not on the boot disk or on another partition of the boot disk. It's almost not worth connecting via Firewire 400 because the transfer limitations don't allow much performance improvement. But using a Firewire 800 connection gives excellent performance.
Running Photoshop on a one-drive machine is a little frustrating due to the performance hit without the separate scratch drive.
