SAP SRM Prod with Oracle DB and AIX 5.3 Performance Issue.

Hi Basis Gurus,
Today my SAP PRD system all of a sudden was running slow and users had difficulties executing TCodes as it took minutes before the screen appeared.My system is SAP SRM 4.00, Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 and AIX 5.3.
From Basis point of view , we noticed that all the work process were hanged due to RFCs' occupying it.Couldnt investigate further on the system as we needed to restart asap because users needed to log on. A quick check on SICK shows no errors.What we managed to find out is that we needed to check this parameter below and set it accordingly:-
rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp:-
Definition
Number of work processes kept free for other users.
Use
This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for dialog mode. It prevents parallel RFCs from occupying all the processes.
The parameter rdisp/wp_no_dia specifies the absolute number of dialog work processes.
Unit: number of dialog work processes
Default value: 1
Example
If 10 dialog work processes are configured for the instance (rdisp/wp_no_dia = 10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 3 is set, parallel RFCs can occupy a maximun of 7 dialog work processes. Three dialog work processes always remain free for dialog mode.
There are 20 DIA processes in our system, perhaps reserving a minimum of about 5 work processes for DIA users will be useful via the parameter.
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
When we went for a restart of the system we encountered another issue. Steps to the issue are as below:-
1) Did a proper shutdown of Oracle and SAP.
2) When we start using startsap script, it doesn't start DB so we started DB manually but listener was having problem
 so we stopped all.
3) We also did a cleanipc, it too throws below error:-
sidadm> cleanipc <systemno> remove
 exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program cleanipc because of the following errors:
 0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for cleanipc because:
 0509-136 Symbol memmove (number 106) is not exported from
 dependent module /usr/sap/sid/SYS/exe/run/libsapu16.so.
 0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
 'dump -Tv' command.
4) Also the Listener file has no contents,it's null file.
5) This is another error :-
 exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /oracle/sid/112_64/bin/tnslsnr because of the following errors:
 0509-150 Dependent module /oracle/sid/112_64/lib/libttsh11.so could not be loaded.
 0509-101 The module has too many section headers
 or the file is damaged
The libttsh11.so file was empty dated 25th timestamp as below in PRD:-
-rw-rr 1 sid dba 0 Nov 25 07:12 libttsh11.so
Further checking has let me to understand this is an Oracle Bug from this link:-
http://gavinsoorma.com/2009/12/11-1-0-6-clusterware-upgrade-to-11-1-0-7/
This Oracle bug only happens in an Upgrade time and how could this happen to my Production system during a restart process.
Also this system was restarted during the last weekend's maintainance window and it came up with no issues.
6) We copied over the libttsh11.so from our QA environment to PRD and did a Startup:-
-rwxr-x--- 1 sid dba 65967496 Nov 25 07:40 libttsh11.so (This is the copied over file from QA)
7) After Startup everything has been in order till now.
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before. Hope all the Gurus here could shed some light into my 2 questions as I am looking for positive answers.
Thank you.
Regards,
John

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

Tracking Transports for confi/dev overwritings in sap srm system

Hi, could anyone please suggest the best way to track and identify any code/config overwritings due to any new change being transported into the client under a new transport?
in m previous organization we had a custom developed tool for identifying such potential overwritings in ecc system however for SRM system it did not work.
could anyone please suggest an automatic/manual check by which i could be able to identify if any new change will potentially overwrite any existing setting in the SRM system
Thank you

Hi Parikshit,
Please make use of Solution Manager 7.1 BPCA tool.Using this tool you may be able to identify which part of the business solution may get impacted with a new change.
This tool can work in any SAP solution including ECC, SRM , BI, CRM etc. but it requires certain pre-requisite configuration to be done in Solution Manager.
Refer SAP help for more details on BPCA

SMSY-Diagnostic Configuration for SAP SRM 5.0

Hi!
I would like to set up the Diagnostics for SAP SRM 5.0.
SAP SRM 5.0 has ABAP and J2EE stack as well (and TREX).
When I define the system as SAP SRM 5.0 in tcode SMSY and assign the Java system component of type SAP NetWeaver/SAP NetWeaver 04/Application Server Java:
Unfortunately when I start SMD Setup wizard no java relevant components are visible.
Furthermore I do not get any data under Workload Analysis and receive:
The solution / systems you selected do not contain any software components currently supported by E2E Workload Analysis
My question is:
What is the right definition of SAP SRM 5.0 for Solution Manager Diagnostics?
Thank you very much
regards
Thom

Before you can move forward with SMD, you need to make sure the following components are working....
1. SLD is running on Solution Manager and SMSY is able to read from it.
2. The SCM system is registered with the SLD
3. You created a landscape which has a leading role that correlates to the role for your SCM system in SMSY.
4. You've installed the SMD agent on the CM system
Please confirm that you have completed the above.

Establishing a connection between SAP SRM and MM

Dear All,
I am working for a multi-national company and now we are thinking to implement SAP SRM but I have some questions about communication between SAP MM and SRM. Firstly I want so share with you our as-is status and then my doubts and question that I have.
In our case we have two different locationed organizations which are using different version of SAP system and SAP MM. In this two sap system mostly codes are and descriptions are different for all materials and now we want gather all data and we want to have one global code system and (local code also will remain). I mean we want to call same materials with one global unique code instead of two different codes. We are thinking to implement something like coding center that will take local master data from local organization then will assign global code, update table then with somehow will update SAP SRM.
For example:
We have local master data on R/3 is maintained manually by local user and net item is created locally each country by local user.Coding center will be aware of new creation by mail, automatically. Coding center will update table (adding a new row for each new item) on translator (tool for assigning global code for materials) assign to each new item a global code and category and in this way SRM will be updated automatically based on translator.
I am thinking to develeop a tool (excel,access etc.) that will take new item creation manually or auto from local organization then will assign a global code and category then will update SAP SRM automatically
Regarding to tool I have some questions:
1)     which are the standard communication channel between R/3 and SRM or How they can speak with each other ?
2)     Is there any standart batch file (BI or BAPI) to be able to perform this.Is it possible to develop tool using excel or access etc. which will manage coding task.
3)     When we are trasferring for the first time Master Data from MM to SRM is there any standard transaction?
4)     how the two MD are aligned (i.e. what if a new item is created or modified on MM)?
5)     standard program (transaction) for aligning available ?
6)     ) how this process can be triggered (scheduled using SAP scheduler, event or user driven)
7)     Where the translator (tool) should be (R/3 local, SRM, BW, other) --> Enrichment table
8)     How we can build the communication transaction?
Thank you very much
Any comments and answers will appreciated and rewarded

Hi,
Have you considered using CCM. You generally use an industry standard code (perhaps UNSPSC) in CCM as your vendors would all have different number (similar to your scenario). CCM is a plug-in to SRM, supplied by SAP.
The authoring tool is where you can enrich your catalogue, and have approval dependant on rules that you setup. In your case you would possibly have a catalogue per locationed organisation (or R/3 system). These would then be mapped to a master catalogue, and assigned to users as views. This tool is a BSP on SRM. You could also upload these catalogues from Excel (as a CSV) or through XI as XML. We use the automatic transfer of materials from R3 and then there is a report in SRM to feed that through to the catalogue.
The only thing that needs to be thought through is how you feed the selected catalogue item back to the differing R3 systems, but this shouldn't be a stumbling point.
Cheers

Document Management System for sap mm point of view steps

Hi All.

Hi,
Customizing settings can be collected by processes into Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). BC Sets make Customizing more transparent by documenting and analyzing the Customizing settings. They can also be used for a group rollout, where the customizing settings are bundled by the group headquarters and passed on in a structured way to its subsidiaries.
BC Sets are provided by SAP for selected industry sectors, and customers can also create their own.
When a BC Set is created, values and combinations of values are copied from the original Customizing tables into the BC Set and can be copied into in the tables, views and view clusters in the customer system. The BC Sets are always transported into the customer system in which Customizing is performed.
Advantages of using BC Sets:
1.     Efficient group rollout.
2.     Industry sector systems are easier to create and maintain.
3.     Customizing can be performed at a business level.
4.     Change Management is quicker and safer.
5.     Upgrade is simpler.
To create BC sets follow the below step:
Choose Tools ® Customizing ® Business Configuration Sets® Maintenance in the SAP
menu, or enter the transaction code SCPR3 in the command field.
Choose Bus.Conf.Set ® Create.

Importance of Bounce management functionality in SAP CRM

Hi All,
I want to discuss few interesting issues which I have come a cross while doing a setting for bounce management functionality in SAP CRM 7.0
Before sharing my experience I want to discuss some term related to Bounce email than will discuss about types of bounce emails and cause of the bounce email.The setting of bounce functionality is describing in below link .
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/en/46/3f509215835fa7e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
In general when a website visitor sigh up they receive email from the company site, the information the site collected saved in the database but It commonly happen some of your email will be undeliever. In marketing term we say it as 'Bounce'. this is the same way happen as when a person give a bank cheque to bank and don't have sufficient money to his/her account the bank people say the cheque got bounce ..
As we are aware emails are bounce for variety of reason such as.
     - In case the recipient email address is invalid.
     - recipient email address is inactive or closed
     - recipient mailbox is full or mail server have some technical issue etc
In general all these bounces emails categorize in two category.
Hard bounce- When email address is not active. example wrong email address, email address de-activated, deleted,or closed
Soft bounce- recipient mailbox is full, mail server have some technical issue, Out_of_office is setup .
Now finally we come to know about the cause of bounce email and types. Now the question arises why this is so important when we have bounce management functionality active in sap crm marketing ? as described in above url.
suppose that there is a campaigning happening for an product where 3000 person visited it. Now incase 2000 visitors shown interest so have qualified as prospect bases on the information they have provided such as name, address, salary or employment detail.
After successfully execution of campaign now senior executives create a mailing list for all the prospects in the target group of campaign and sends email to all the users.Now if I say to how many customers really company have reached reached after campaign execution answer will be we can not have the correct fact and figure as there could be some bounce happened.
Now incase bounce management setting is configure in your CRM system than system will receive inbound e-mails for each bounce.Suppose we have received one thousand bounce emails than we would say actual customer contacted is 1000. this is the correct fact and figure and very much useful for marketing people.
After than executive could remove email address which were hard bounced and for soft bounce they can use some other channel to contact like telephone calls etc to reach them.
The correct facts and figures are very much important for marketing strategy and planning and also to know success level of each campaign. Assume a scnario where in day a company launches more than 5 campaign. I feel the importace is transparent now.
I hope you would find some interest in above blog.
Thanks

Regarding SAP SRM Inbox configuration

Hello Guys,
We are in the process of configuring the SRM workflow approvals in Portal.
We made the basic mandatory configurations and we are able to see the workitems in the UWL.
But unfortunately, we need configure the Inbox iView comes with the SAP SRM business package to work.
With the configurations recommended, we manage to get the workitems in the standard Inbox iView.
Only the header items are shown and when opened, a new window opens with just the header. Information of the workitems are not shown. But the same is shown in Universal Worklist.
We are just wondering what could be wrong.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and Regards,
Vivek

Hello Siddharth,
Thanks for the quick response.
I think it is POWL. After making some entries in the SRM system table, we are able to get the workitems in the Inbox view, but no details were displayed.
We tries modifying the xml
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS93107952" connector="WebFlowConnector"
defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchSAPAction" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_SRM" externalType="TS93107952" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<Action name="launchSAPAction" groupAction="" handler="SAPIACLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes"
launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
<Properties>
<Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
<Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
<Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
<Property name="IAC" value="BBPCF02"/>
</Properties>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
We just want to see the workitem details like we do in the UWL.
Thanks and regards,

SAP SRM - ERP INTEGRATION

Hello,
we are designing application architecture. Our landscape is:
- ECC 6.0
- SRM 5.0
- XI 7.0
We are thinking of using XI as middleware even for those scenario in which in not required (es. Contract Managament):
In particular every time we have a communication based on IDOC we want to use XI as communication middleware. Pure RFC integration will not use XI.
Has anyone some experience on this?
Thanks
