Maintaining sapgui 640 config on migration to vista and gui 7

Hi,
We are migrating from XP to Vista (giving new notebooks to users) and SAPGui 640 to 710.
I know that we can copy saplogon.ini to the new notebook preserve the links to the servers.
How can I copy the customizing settings of their SAPGui to the new notebook (like the visual design, color settings and font size that the user have set in their sapgui.)
thanks,
Roel

Many thanks Sergo, I also tried that approach but did not find any.
I tried changing the sttings in sapgui (taking note of the time of change) then search the entire C drive for some files that was changed on the same time. Unfortunately I only found sapgui logs but no config files.
I have just posted a question to oss. Please update me if you find anything.
thanks,
Roel

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Fail to export from SAP to Excel on SAPGUI 640 on NW04

Hi
I have a user who is trying to use the export to excel button in a standard SAP transaction, when he uses it, he gets all the questions, chooses excel to export to, chooses table, then nothing happens, he just gets the standard message 'save data in the spreadsheet'.
I logged onto his PC & used SAPGUI in ST03N, when i tried the export I got the same issue, selected all the export options to table for excel, no errors, but excel does not load? I did the export on my PC from ST03N and all worked ok and excel started and exported the data as expected, so its the users SPAGUI/PC/Excel.
No other users are having this issue, lots are exporting to Excel ok, even loaded it and then done the export with Excel already started and fails to export. The PC is a standard build, same as the rest, as is SAPGUI 640.
The desktop PC team have passed this onto me and i'm the basis admin, i've ran things like SAPCHECK in the past, has anyone got any ideas what I can check to find out why Excel is failing to start on users PC when triggered from SAPGUI? are there any specific options you need selected on SAPGUI install to allow export to work?
Out desktops are Windows XP Pro and Office 2000.
We are running NW04 & ERP2004 on Windows 2003 64 bit & SQL Server 2000
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Just check if the users authorizations are alright. Check if she has the activity 61 in authorization object S_ALV_LAYO. If she doesnot have assign it to her and then check again.

Palm TX - Migration from Vista laptop to XP netbook

Firs, generally satisfied with Desktop 6.2.2P working with my Thinkpad T61, Vista Home Premium.
Heck! it's too big, heavy and expensive to take backpacking for 2 months in SE Asia. Now I have an Ideapad S10e with XP, 160G HD and 1G RAM, no Bluetooth. Need to take the Palm TX when treking or walking. I'd like some help on the possibilities of using the TX with my Ideapad XP netbook. Some questions to get my head right and then any advice you have that will achieve what I want; right the first time, without losing current functionality, specially the install toole
(1) If I down load Desktop 6.2.2 to the XP netbook and sync, will alarm bells go off requiring me to either stop or answer zillions of questions that will go nowhere or screw up the information on the TX? I intend to retain the same identity. If on the other hand it works, will it work on just the XP or the Vista machines or both?. I'll be satisfied with one at a time; the Netbook, unless some functionality gets lost.
(2) Read somewhere that 6.2.2 was introduced stricly for Vista. Does this mean that (1) above will not work, because the TX is syncd with Vista based 6.2.2?
What is the smartest decision I should settle for while making sure I do not lose any functionality that I have with Vista and 6.2.2? Gotta get the TX working with XP no different that with Vista.
I'm leaving in 2 weeks; mid Sep and I have to have this behind me and trouble free well befoe then.
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

The test user make it so when you sync your TX it will import your username and all the apps, data, and settings from that device to your netbook. You can remove the test user once the device is done syncing and you have your data.
When you install Palm Desktop it requires that you have a username. Sometimes if you pick the same username it says you cannot sync to this PC. Created the test username bypasses this.

P965 Platinum, Vista, and Raid

I spent a good couple of hours skimming the boards yesterday trying to set up my two new 320 SATAII hard drives in a RAID array. I ran into a ton of trouble, but then finally figured out part/all of my problem and got things working. I figure this information will be helpful for anyone who is trying to do the same. I'll post the most useful links I found at the end of this post as well...
heres what i'm working with:
MSI P965 Platinum
2gb OCZ DDR2 800MHZ 2 dimm kit
36.7 WD Raptor SATAII (as system drive)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Sapphire X1650 PRO 512MB PCI-Express
Antec TruePower TRIO 650 650W Power Supply
promise technology ultra ata 133 tx2 (the source of a ton of trouble)
originally i had vista ultimate x64 installed on a 36.7 gb raptor that was performing ok (once i did the extremetech suggested reghacks for lowdiskspace and 8.3ntfsfilenames), but not as well as my friends new computer with a blazing fast 500 gb stripe.
my bios was configured as such:
on board raid controller: ide
on chip ata devices -> sata 1 config: enhanced
...configure sata 1 as: ide
...sata 2 configuration: enabled
i shut down the computer, and changed
on chip ata devices -> configure sata 1 as: raid
then i was able to get into the raid setup with Ctrl + I, and set up my array. Here's where I ran into my first problem. I figured I wanted a raid 0 because I don't care soooo much about my data being lost, and i have never had a hard drive die on me (knock on wood) in the past 8 years (guardian angel). So setting up my array was working fine, except for i hadn't anticipated that i would have to choose an ideal strip size. The board suggests 128k, but after much deliberation I decided since I wanted the speed benefit for my OS and programs, I wanted 32k strip size; but having a 640 stripe for just the OS and programs seems huge, so out of curiosity I tried setting up two raid arrays (both across the same drives). The first was a 100gb raid 0 with a 32k strip size and the second was a 496.2 raid 0 with a 128k strip size. This worked fine, but then I got to thinking... can I set up the 100 gb array as a mirror? If so, then I get the best of both worlds since I can secure all my OS/settings/programs/documents, but I'll have a super fast (respectively) 400 gb drive for ephemeral memory and expendable data (replaceable stuff like ripped dvds, downloaded music and programs, downloaded anything...). This would all be at the expense of 100 gb which certainly seems worth it at this case because I wouldn't have to worry about the possibility of losing all my data like everyone seems to cry about all over the internet when talking about raid stripes. So i set it up, this worked fine... next step boot into vist ultimate and start installation.
Here proved my most annoying step, as my first problem occurred when I couldn't find the dvd/cd drive in the boot sequence menu. I saw the usb card reader drives, my raid arrays, and my raptor... but no dvd/cd drive (of which I had two connected). After scouring the web about that darned Jmicron chip, it appeared as if the bios cannot see the PATA drives on this board and I would have to try pressing F8 at the jmicron bios screen. THIS IS COMPLETE MISINFORMATION.
As stupid as it is, the real problem is that the boot sequence only displays 6 (i think it's 6) bootable media, and if you have anything else it just doesn't show it. This gave me the impression that the bios was unaware of my cd/dvd drives connected to the IDE controller. As soon as I unplugged my card reader, the dvd/cd drives appeared in the boot sequence... thank gawd because...
i had tried plugging my dvd/cd drives into the promise ata controller (which i already know lacks a vista 64bit compatible driver), which actually allowed me to boot into the vista setup whereupon I was asked (I did NOT have to press F6, even though everyone seems to think they have to) to install the driver for the dvd/cd controller (I assumed and was right that it was asking for the promise ata controller driver). I put the most recent drivers from their website on a usb stick, plugged it in, and the driver worked and then setup was able to see my dvd/cd drives (which is weird because how did I get to that point if it couldn't?).
Then setup said it couldn't find any drives, so I figured the problem was with the driver for the ICH8R intel raid controller. I downloaded drivers from MSI's website, intel's, and a bunch of others, and NONE of them worked. Setup would install the drivers, but it still could not see any hard drives attached to it. I'm not sure what caused this problem, but my best guess is that it had to do with the promise card being plugged in.
I gave up on that and figured I'd try something else, maybe the promise card was causing the problem. So I tried changing the ports that all my sata drives are plugged into. The two new 320's were on 0 and 2, and I also had a drive on 3 4 and 5. I read somewhere that intel had some array issues on 0 1 and 2, so I tried setting my 320's on 4 and 5 and moved my other drives around it. This is also when I had the idea to remove my card reader and pull out the ultra ata 133 tx2 card.
I was able then to see the dvd/cdrom in the boot sequence, put it first, and boot into vista setup. VISTA ULTIMATE DID NOT ASK ME FOR ANY DRIVERS AT THIS POINT. I'm not sure if it was the sata ports I had my drives plugged into or not, but at this point vista setup saw all my drives and I chose the 100 gb array and installation went smoothly.
Excellent… now I just have to install photoshop and see if it loads in 4 seconds like on my friends new computer with the stripe. If not, then I'll probably just cry.
Hopefully I've covered enough of the keywords in this description that anyone who has this problem will easily find this page. Remember:
JMICRON IDE DEVICES CAN BE SEEN BY THE BIOS
VISTA SETUP DOES NOT NEED ANY ADDITIONAL DRIVERS TO INTERACT WITH THE RAID CONTROLLER
SORRY IF THIS WAS A TON OF INFORMATION BUT AFTER ALL THE TIME I SPENT TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT I FEEL LIKE NO ONE HAD POSTED A FULL BLOWN SOLUTION
Hope this was helpful

I have the very same issue except two things. When I try to see why it will not load the Array I find that the first drive (Maxtor 6V160E0) is red and considered to be bad. Did you happen to notice if your system showed the same thing?
I have moved the drives around and it still corrupts the Maxtor 6V160E0. I have not tried to move them to the end of the SATA connections. I will try that and see what happens.
Other thing was the JMicron would see my NEC DVDRW, but thought it was a ACSI and it would only read at 12X. It even stated that in the OS. I then was told by the Techs that they have not had alot of luck with NEC drives. So, I purchased a LiteOn SATA II DVDRW, connected it to the JMicron SATA connector and it came alive. I then found it to turn out worthless DVD's and CD's. Not even that Drive would read them after burning. I got so ticked about the JMicron I just shut it off in the BIOS. I hooked up the drive to the #4 port and whala, no more problems with burn. Now it reads, writes, and re-writes at the stated speeds (also I needed to update the firmware twice since I purchase the drive. The MS updates did something to it and the new firmware fixed it.). I have never been able to get a drive to work correctly on the JMicron no matter who made it.
I sure hope that MSI has scraped any board that will ever use that controller. JMircon is not my friend!
I am going to get 2 more SATA II drives and try this without having to backup all my data.

Database migration to MAXDB and Performance problem during R3load import

Hi All Experts,
We want to migrate our SAP landscape from oracle to MAXDB(SAPDB). we have exported database of size 1.2 TB by using package and table level splitting method in 16 hrs.
Now I am importing into MAXDB. But the import is running very slow (more than 72 hrs).
Details of import process as per below.
We have been using distribution monitor to import in to target system with maxdb database 7.7 release. We are using three parallel application servers to import and with distributed R3load processes on each application servers with 8 CPU.
Database System is configured with 8CPU(single core) and 32 GB physical RAM. MAXDB Cache size for DB instance is allocated with 24GB. As per SAP recommendation We are running R3load process with parallel 16 CPU processes. Still import is going too slow with more that 72 hrs. (Not acceptable).
We have split 12 big tables in to small units using table splitting , also we have split packages in small to run in parallel. We maintained load order in descending order of table and package size. still we are not able to improve import performance.
MAXDB parameters are set as per below.
CACHE_SIZE 3407872
MAXUSERTASKS 60
MAXCPU 8
MAXLOCKS 300000
CAT_CACHE_SUPPLY 262144
MaxTempFilesPerIndexCreation 131072
We are using all required SAP kernel utilities with recent release during this process. i.e. R3load ,etc
So Now I request all SAP as well as MAXDB experts to suggest all possible inputs to improve the R3load import performance on MAXDB database.
Every input will be highly appreciated.
Please let me know if I need to provide more details about import.
Regards
Santosh

Hello,
description of parameter:
MaxTempFilesPerIndexCreation(from version 7.7.0.3)
Number of temporary result files in the case of parallel indexing
The database system indexes large tables using multiple server tasks. These server tasks write their results to temporary files. When the number of these files reaches the value of this parameter, the database system has to merge the files before it can generate the actual index. This results in a decline in performance.
as for max value, I wouldn't exceed the max valuem for 26G value 131072 should be sufficient. I used same value for 36G CACHE SIZE
On the other side, do you know which task is time consuming? is it table import? index creation?
maybe you can run migtime on import directory to find out

Why does JMF 2.1.1e install on Vista and not on XP

I understand that JMF is not supported by Sun. Then why does it install on Vista with no issue but won't install on any of my XP (SP3) systems. All are P4 and above with one being a tablet PC. Each has proven capable of handling 4 live USB camera feeds simultaneously as well as running other things.
My problem is too often repeated in this forum.
On XP I start the install, the files are extracted, Setup.exe, wowexec.exe, and ntvdm.exe are started and that is all that happens. When I check the process list, they are all running (taking no CPU time). If I end the process tree starting with the distribution exe, they all end.
However, if I don't do that and just shutdown, I find that wowexec has to be forced to end and that leaves the 16bit subsystem unstable.
I have tried, no virus scan, running in W2K and. W95 compatibility, terminating everything in the process list I feel comfortable terminating and combinations of several and all of the above but to no avail.
Yet when I installed the exact same distribution package on my Vista systems, all went just fine.
I have even tried hand-installing JMF with little luck.
Oh yes, and I even tried the install and test on VMWare virtual machine Xp and Vista systems with the exact same results. So this is clearly systemic.
I should add that none of the systems are clones but each was individually installed and maintained with different applications installed.
To test, I move the same powered USB hub and 4 attached cameras between the systems. On Vista they are found just fine. On the XP systems, they don't exist as far as Java is concerned. Which is strange as 3 other , non-Java programs, see them without issue on all the systems.
You might ask, well why play with Java. The answer is simple. All of the programs I speak of are proprietary and I need a program I can modify to fit my needs and I have found a skeleton one to work with.
But unless I can get JMF installed on XP, that plan, JMF. and Java will be gone. I simply don't have time for this foollishness.
Regards,
Jim

Could you elaborate on using JWS to install JMF from Vista to XP?Unpack them on Vista. Then you have direct access to the Jars and natives that are used. Deploy those Jars and natives from a server using JWS - that should work for both Vista and XP.
If you go to the logical extremes and also expand the Linux/Unix version, and add the natives to the server/launch, it will also be able to support those systems. The download can be 'partitioned' so that Windows only gets the Windows natives, Linux/Unix gets the Linux/Unix natives. Mac boxes get the core Java JMF only - no natives.
Using JWS, you get to avoid that horrendous 'must reboot' prompt at the end of the native installer. The one time I tested it, I found that to be unnecessary. But there is no way to disable the prompt, AFAIK.
I have no experience with the facility you mention.Deploying using JWS is a big area. For a good overview, see [Deploying a Java Web Start Application|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/webstart/deploying.html].
Note that any app. that uses natives must be digitally signed and request all-permissions in the launch file, in order to work. For a self signed certificate, this is a little tricky to design in a build file, then easy to 'stamp out' at build time.
I have some demos, complete with source and build file, that do some of the things mentioned (most notably digitally signing apps.). If you have further questions on webstart, ask more specific questions & I might be able to help out.

I want to sync between a netbook with Windows 7 and a laptop with Windows Vista, and the bookmarks don't transfer?

Everything else looks like it transfers (though appearance is different, I'm guessing from different Windows), but bookmarks are blank when transfer from Windows 7 to Windows Vista.

Firefox's built-in ability to play MPEG-encoded media through its built-in HTML5 player requires the Media Foundation components of Windows.
Some users may have blocked this from within Firefox in order to make it easier to download MP3s. To double-check on that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''media''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled''' is in bold type and "user set" to false, double-click to switch its value back to true.
(4) If '''media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone''' is in bold type and "user set" to false, double-click to switch its value back to true.
Then try reloading the tab with the MP3.
If Firefox is set to use Media Foundation and it still doesn't work, maybe something is missing from Windows. Another Windows 7 user reported that they were able to fix a problem with Media Foundation using a download from Microsoft:
<blockquote>Solved the problem, installed the Windows Media Feature Pack ([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968211]) which gives you the Media Player, DVD Maker and Media Center.
I've deactivated those three via the Control Panel and still got MP3 support. :D</blockquote>

Pushing saplogon.ini to Vista and XP

Hi all, i'm using the nwsetupadmin tool to push SAPGUI and other fronend tools, however I'd like to push the saplogon.ini to Vista and XP machines, i tried to use the sample script at the "on end" but it didn't work. I think it's because Vista's saplogon.ini location is different than XP's location.
Does anyone have a script or of a way to push it? We tried with a normal copy command but UAC on Vista machines blocks that.
Thanks,
Samer

I do not think
Tha't great idea
, but if you want know try to read

I did not see this message anywhere else in the forum, anyone able to help?

Unexplained Crashes, lock-ups, Failure to boot and boot-looping in Vista and XP and MAC OS-X.
Have a USB2 external hard drive hooked up to your system? A number of these devices are starting to show up as the cause of the problems listed above. The cause has been linked to drives that were manufactured a year or more ago. Note I said manufactured not purchased. The cause is poor USB 2.0 specifications that the drive case manufactures followed which has deteriorated with age causing the above failures. If this happens to you try disconnecting your external drive and see if your problem goes away. A couple of multifunction printers have also been the cause of similar problems but most of these have higher visibility on internet search engines than the external hard drives.
