LSMW data migration porcess from the beginning

Hi gurus,
I do understand that there are 14 steps to be completed during migration, but can anyone give me a basic idea as what needs to be done prior to the above steps when starting a data migration project, as i have been only involved in the LSMW(14 steps) process before.
Thanks in advance, points will be awarded for all answers.

Hello
As an intro:
Classical data migrations are typically limited to master data and
tend to cause multiple negative impacts on workflow and oper-
ating business units.
To minimize costs, risks, and effort during a data migration and ensure a smooth changeover for operational business processs items, and better reporting
capabilities SAP recently come with a Data Migration Solution called SAP Accelerated Data Migration tool.
This advanced tool, coupled with support from the SAP Services organization and SAP partners, lets you easily migrate and integrate application data from any legacy system into SAP applications – and reduce migration costs significantly.
Data migration is done in 4th phase i.e. the final preparation stage of ASAP methodology.
As far as LSMW is concerned, BDC and LSMW both are use for loading data into SAP system. The difference is ,LSMW is loading tool by SAP where you can use various methods to upload, massage data or cleansed your data while loading into SAP from legacy system. The method can be BDC, BAPI, Idocs or SAP ABAP codes. Usually in BDC the user has to write an ABAP program or use other utility to load legacy data.
LSMW has been developed mainly for the Functional people who has no knowledge of the technical aspects of report or BDC in ABAP because its very user friendly and handy to use. So, simply they can upload the master records using LSMW.

    Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

    As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

  • How to remove characters/lines from the beginning of an InputStream

    Hi,
    I have a program which receives several InputStreams. From each of these streams I have to remove 2 lines from the beginning. After the lines are removed, all the streams are combined to one with SequenceInputStream and read in one chunk. Is there an easy/simple way of doing this?
    One option I thought would be to read the char by char until 2 end of line chars have been detected and then read the rest of the data to a buffer. And the create a ByteArrayInputStream out of this buffer. Problem with this approach is, that the amount of data can be large, so putting all the data in to memory might cause problems.
    Another option is to use BufferredInputStream and use the readline() method twice to get rid of the lines that are not needed. After this I would write the data to some output stream, which is then converted back to input stream. Propably would work, but sound too much of work for a simple thing like this. There has to be better way.
    To make it simple, what I need is a method that looks like the following, or something similar
    *  Removes n number of lines from the beginning of a InputStream.
    *  @param is InputStream where the lines are removed
    *  @param numberOfLines int value to indicate how many lines whould be removed
    *  @return InputStream where lines have been removed.
    public InputStream removeLines(InputStream is, numberOfLines);Thanks.

    Here's the code, feel free to use it. Comments are also welcome.
    public InputStream removeLinesFromTheBeginning(InputStream is, int numberOfLines) throws IOException
              char c = 'c';
              int i = 0;
              for(int n = 0 ; n < numberOfLines ; n++)
                   do
                        c = (char)is.read();
                        System.out.print(c);
                        if(c == (char)-1)     // end of stream reached before any newline characters were found.
                             return null;
                        i++;
                   while(c != '\n');
                   System.out.println();
                   System.out.println("Characters removed:" + i);
                   System.out.println("n: " + n);
                   i = 0;
              return is;

  • Because you this loading firefox.exe like process from the beginning of the computer with a load from 38 to 42000 kb or like I can solve this problem

    because you this loading firefox.exe like process from the beginning of the computer with a load from 38 to 42000 kb or like I can solve this problem, atualmente when lighting the computer among the processes that are loaded when beginning the computer is a process of name firefox.exe with a load of between 30 and 50000 kb but I don't find to the registered firefox inside the programs to crgar from the beginning when entering for msconfig.exe my operating system is so far windows xp up-to-date sp3 and my firefox is 7.0.1 version in Spanish that is my native language.

    That seems very suspicious. Two suggestions.
    First, try Firefox's Safe Mode. This will let you work around problems with add-ons and perhaps help you identify things to remove so that Firefox goes back to normal.
    I recommend making a backup of your Firefox settings before starting in Safe Mode. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
    Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
    Does that work? If so, you may need to disable your add-ons and just bring the most essential ones back to life until you discover the problem one.
    Second thought: malware. You could supplement your usual security scans with these:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    HouseCall : http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
    Hope this helps.

  • Playbook requires me to pay for support when it did not work from the beginning and they could not fix.

    lack of email app- makes this may purchase virtually useless. because
    cant bridge with my bb 9700. maybe twice after deleting from both, and rebridging, i got connections. i cant spend an hour bridging every time. since may this is unfixable. the support people cant fix it after dozens of hours. got lots.of emails from them though. asking if i was resolved. when i answered no, they asked me to do it all again. they have no fix for this.
    can type documents, but cant email them to anybody. same with excel. no way to attach documents when the bridge doesnt work.
    i am a ceo,and i am moving my entire organization off bb becuase of this.
    have spent many many hours from the beginning in may, and now they want me to pay a 129 dollar fee to get support when it has not worked right from the beginning.
    i bought an ipad today and i am absolutely blown away by how much better it is in every single way. dozens of bbs are going away now.
    slow, no.email, locks up all the time, stand by button restarts tablet, no bridging without total reload on both devices. why would i go through this anymore? it is costing my business a fortune with myself and my people trying to make the playbook work.
    we will get ipads and make more money.
    i have tried to stay loyal to bb, but after being told i have to pay for support
    when i did once get a connection through bridge, reply locked up everytime on an email. could not type.

    I would like to add my support to this comment.
    Strike 1) Bridging a BB 9700 with a PB is flaky at best. Even if you run the very latest software on both, it does not work properly. This is NOT a user issue but a programme/application issue. RIM software running on RIM hardware and O/S and NOT being able to connect properly = RIM fault.(see my other post: My Bridge connects, it exchanges data like passwords, number of unread emails and my playbook notifies me when someone calls my BB, but it does NOT unlock)
    Strike 2) All this used to work fine during the 90d grace suport period (apart from the flaky bluetooth issue that required a hard reboot of the BB whenever the connection was broken in a bad way)
    Strike 3) Now, after a PB OS upgrade (which I faithfully applied), several phone upgrades (due to another problem) and the latest Bridge application install, it all doesn't work anymore, 100 days after I bought the flipping thing. so I have a fancy ebook reader, not the productivity enhancing tool I can use on the go.
    So now I am stuck with a forum that can't help, a technical database that does not contain this support information and a broken RIM application on RIM Hardware and O/S that I paid a lot of money for. And now they want more to look at this incident????? I am sorry but if this was a problem caused by usage, configuration or any other user error, I could understand it. But this is all completely in RIMs ballpark. I have done everything right. It connects. It just DOES NOT WORK!!!!!
    As I said in my other post, an evaluation of the PB in my company is ongoing as a possible management tool by people I know quite well, as I work in the area, but my advice would definitely be to stay away until basic functionality like emails, attachments, calendars etcetera are all suitably solved and usable by the average manager with sausage fingers and no clue about bluetooth, hard reboots and who won't be able to hold down the power, + & - buttons at the same time as the fingers won't fit!!
    So RIM, get your finger out, open up an email support channel or get some qualified support people go through this forum and help those people who have shown faith in your products and who now have real problems with your software and hardware. DONT HIDE BEHIND A STUPID SUPPORT FEE - MAN UP TO YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

  • How to start iPhoto mavericks from a particular photo (not from the beginning)

    In my previous versions of iphoto I could start the slideshow from any photo, after highlighting it first. Now, I can start it only from the beginning and only if  I did not highlight any photo in the albom. If I highlight a photo and then click on ``slideshow'', it will show me this particular photo but will not play after that (even if use settings). Can I do anything about it?
    My alboms are long, so to start them each time from the beginning is very inconvenient.

    There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks in that slidshows from albums only play correctly, i.e. from the first slide, with the photos sorted by date, keyword, rating or title. When sorted manually the slideshow can start5  from any seemingly random photo.

  • AudioInputStream won't start from the beginning

    I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but here's a weird the situation. I have a number of audio files that I play together. Nothing complicated.
        public void playAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");

                audioFormat_2 = audioInputStream_2.getFormat();
                audioFormat_3 = audioInputStream_3.getFormat();
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_1 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_1);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_2 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_2);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_3 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_3);
                sourceDataLine_1 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_1);
                sourceDataLine_2 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_2);
                sourceDataLine_3 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_3);
                new PlayThread().start();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(0);
        class PlayThread extends Thread{
            byte tempBuffer_1[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_2[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_3[] = new byte[100000];
            @Override
            public void run(){

                    int nBytesRead;
                    while(((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_1.read(tempBuffer_1,0,tempBuffer_1.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_2.read(tempBuffer_2,0,tempBuffer_2.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_3.read(tempBuffer_3,0,tempBuffer_3.length)) != -1) &&
                          (stopPlayback == false)) {
                        if(nBytesRead > 0){

                    sourceDataLine_2.close();

                    stopPlayback = false;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
        }I also have a method that combines the three audio files into one. I usually call this method after having played the files for a short time.
        public void saveAudio() {
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Interesting enough, this code doesn't seem to combine the three audio files properly. What seems to happen is that the combined file starts at the location where I stopped playing. In order to get the files to start from the very beginning, I need to re-initialize the AudioInputStream.
        public void saveAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
                audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
                audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
                audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Is this normal?

    That definitely makes sense.
    I was under the impression that the AudioInputStream never loses the data it has read and that the AudioSystem.write method always starts from the beginning of this AudioInputStream. I need to stop treating the AudioInputStream like an array and instead treat it more like fresh water.Definately.
    AudioInputStream doesn't actually have anything in it...it's actually just a wrapper. Whenever you call read on it, it just reads whatever it's wrapping around, and returns the result. This is why it can contain both live data being recorded or file data or a network stream or...
    In this case, it is reading from a BinaryFile. Everytime you call read, it increments the file position... and it doesn't reset the file position when you call AudioSystem.write...

  • When i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my game from the beginning

    when i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my games from the beginning or will they sync over to where i left off?

    Game settings are part of the backup. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPad for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPad for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • My macbook pro was defective from the beginning. what to do?

    I bought my macbook pro about 4 yrs ago in my college year, and right after I found out there was some weird noise being made while the laptop was running.
    And compared to my school mates' macbook, mine got easily heated up and had a loud noise while running.
    So I took it to my school tech department and they said since its warranty is effective, why don't I go to apples, and so I did.
    At first, at the genius bar, a technician said it will cost me 400 and i was struck with shock ..
    fortunately, the technician found out that the laptop was defectively manufactured from the factory from the beginning and I was free of the fixing charge.
    However, my macbook pro's got a new problem. The screen goes black while running. I can hear the computer running but the screen is total pitch black.
    I went to apple store again to the genius bar to ask for the fixing fee.- It was 300 bucks for fixing it and they said there was a problem with
    the computer's logic board whatever. I bought the laptop for 1200$ and they are asking me for 1/4 of the price the laptop.
    The genius bar asked me if I ever dropped the laptop or left it somewhere near water whatever. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT and the laptop was
    sitting on my loveseat in my room and when I came back from work and turned it on to get on internet...it didn't turn on.
    What am I supposed to do?
    I am so upset bc I have a paper to turn in for the beginning fo the next month, but since I can't afford to fix the computer, I am totally at a loss.
    I bought the laptop at Bestbuy when there was the event going on, which if you buy a mac, it comes with an ipod 2nd gen.
    When I bought it, there was a lil scratch like thin on top of the cover of the laptop, but I just thought like
    it will get a scratch while using it anyway and i just let it go and I bought a cute plastic cover for that laptop.
    If I knew that that was something like a defective product, I wouldn't have bought it or exchanged it with a new one.
    Where do I complain about this? whom do I talk to? why does apple distribute defective products to customers and make us to pay so much money to fix it after the warranty is done?
    Apple should be responsible for this.
    For someone like me, who's a poor student who can't get anymoney from anywhere (I am being supported by my church), what am I supposed to do?
    I want a responsible answer from Apple.
    or if anyone knows how I should deal with this, please answer me.
    I am really at a loss and desperate due to my financial situation. Thank you.

    I had a very similar issue.  I am not sure which machine you have.  I purchased 2 MacBook Pro's mid 2010 2.66ghz.  One is dead the other failing.  I am with you, you shouldn't have to purchase an extended warranty on a premium product.  I have seen a lot of posts on this subject.  Seattle Rex took Apple to court last year over the same issue and won in small claims court.
    http://www.seattlerex.com/seattle-rex-vs-apple-the-verdict-is-in/
    I am sure a class action lawsuit is not far off.  It is fraudulent to sell a product that is known to be defective.  I purchased my laptops from Apple.com in 2011 after the testing program had already started.  From what I can deduce the logicboard and Lion do not get along.  CNET has several articles on this issue.  Here is the notice from Apple that is very hard to find.

    Maverick is supposed to help but for me that is a day late and $4000 dollars short. 
    If you do bring your laptop in, print out the notice.  The guys and gals at the Genius Bar will not know about this issue.  They tried to sell me a new MLB too as well as trying to wipe my hard drive.  Good luck, I hope this helps.

  • I bought a movie three days ago.  It begins to download from the cloud, then my iPad goes to sleep and when I open it again, it starts downloading from the BEGINNING.  How do I get the WHOLE MOVIE to download?  I have re-booted but that didn't help.

    I can't seem to figure out how to download a movie.  It begins to download (and yes, I've checked my download speed and my bandwidth and both should, in theory, be adequate to download a movie!) but then the iPad will go to sleep and when I get back to it, it shows that I have bought the movie but nothing is downloaded.  And when I try to download the next time, nothing is saved and it starts again from the beginning of the download.
    I sat down by my iPad while I was working and every few minutes I would swipe to turn it on and it got over half of the movie downloaded.  But then I had to go to leave and now it shows nothing is downloaded.
    I can see having it take a few hours to download IF one was able to just start the download and walk away and come back later to watch the movie.  But to have to repeatedly begin from the start of the download is incredibly frustrating.  I would want my money refunded to my iTunes account at this point, if I was able to do that.  It's just not worth the hassle.
    Suggestions?  How does one download a movie from iTunes?  It should not have to be this hard!!

    See if you can redownload it.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you can then delete from your iPod if you can and redownload.
    If you can't delete from iPod, go to to iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads on your computer ,  amd dpwnload and sync

    In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
    When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.
