Print Module confusion - settings, templates, and migration to new system.

I'm a little confused by some aspects of the print module. First, I tried copying some of my print templates from Lr1.3 over to the print template folder in 2.3, and they didn't' seem to work right. The layout display in the upper left preview window did not match the layout of the main preview window, and many of the settings were not right, such as what printer was supposed to be used. Is there a problem with using 1.3 templates in 2.3?
Next, I can select a paper type in the printer driver AND in the Lr color management section. Do these each do different things?
Also, what does the Lr "Print Resolution" do -- i.e. how does it interact with the printer driver "quality" options, which sets the resolution? Does one setting override the other? If select the maximum quality (i.e. max resolution) in my printer driver settings, should I uncheck the Lr "Print Resolution" setting?
Finally, when I migrate from one system to another, am I supposed to manually copy over all my templates? I would have thought that these would be saved in the catalog, but apparently this is not the case.
Thanks for clarification on these issues,
Larry

Does anybody have any feedback on this? I could really use some help since even after numerous searches I still cannot find the answers to the question above.
Thanks,
Larry

Data migration from legacy system to SAP

hi all,
could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
regards
sridharan

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

Grantor Objects Migration from Legacy System

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which I will be requried to migrate Grantor objects (Programs, Application, Claim, Change Request, billing documents) from legacy system.
I checked the busines objects for Application but could not find the Create Method as we have for Sales Order or Activities.
Can we migrate these objects from Legacy System using lsmw or BAPI's?
Thanks in advance.

How to UNLOCK queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

Hi All,
I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Shwetha.

Hi,
Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button

Data Migration from Legacy system to ECC systems via ETL through SAP PI

Hi All,
I wanted to know if we can migrate the data from Legacy systems to ECC systems via PI.
What I understand is there is ETL tool is used to extract the data from legacy system, and what client is looking to load that data via PI?
Can we do that ? I am concerned because this will involve mass data?
If I have to use PI , I see option of PROXY / IDOC /FILE as receiver in ECC system (take the data from ETL)?
Can somebody has done this earlier , please share the approach.
Thanks,

Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
4. Contacts
5. Contracts
6. Opportunities
7. Payment Arrangement History
8. Payments
9. Premises
10. Rate Changes
11. Security Deposits
12. Business Partner Relationships
13. Web self-service information
14. Usage that has been used for quotes
15. Tax history information, including AXCIS
17. Service Requests
18. Service Order History
19. Security Deposits
20. Reference Values
21. Rate Changes
Can anybody please tell any transaction code in CRM where can I find the Data migration for the above objects is possible or not.
Thanks in Advance,
Sai.

Hello,
for migration into CRM I would suggest the 'XIF-Interfaces'; these are interfaces provided in CRM for connection to external systems. I'm not sure if this will cover all objects mentioned above, but at least some of them should exist.
Some information about existing interfaces can be found in the integration repository under http://ifr.sap.com/index.html; from the start screen first select 'Enter the repository' and then have a look under 'generic components' and 'SAP CRM'.

Hi Ram,
Use Transaction Code EMIGALL. It will ask for company code. By default Company Code is SAP. If you entered with the SAP you will get all the objects.Then goto menu IS-U Migration-->User Handbook. It will give you details Idea.
Also Check the following Procedure
You can find detailed documentation of EMIGALL in SAP itself. Use Transaction EQ81 to display it. It provides all the concepts and procedures to work with EMIGALL.
Here are some points about EMIGALL :
1. It Migrates data Business Object wise
2. It uses Direct Input Technique
3. It has more than 100 objects of IS-U
and the steps for implementation goes like this:
1)You have to create a user specially for migration which will have all the authorizations related to migration workbench, BASIS and IS-U
2)You have to create your own company in EMIGALL. There is a default company called SAP.
3)Company SAP contains all the Business Objects
4)You have to figure out what business objects u need and then u have to copy those business objects to ur company from Standard Company SAP
5)Each objects contains more than one structure and each structure can contain more than one fields. The relation goes like this
Object ---> Structure ---> Field
6)You have to define field rules for each required field of the object. You have to mark "Not required" for fields u don't need
7)After field rules for a given object is set u have to generate load report i.e. actual Direct Input Program which will migrate data. This program is generated on basis of field rules set by u.
8)After the load report is generated u have to prepare an input file (import File) for migration. The import file should be according to structure provided by SAP and must be in binary format. SAP Provides the structure of file according to your configurations. You have to write ur own Data conversion program(in any language) for this task.
9)You take import file as input and migrate the data using generated load program
10)Finally u can check the Migration Statistics and Error Log
Thanks and Regards,

Migration Assistant Copied System Preferences from a Third HD!

I used Migration Assistant to copy files off an iMac and onto a new HD in a MacPro. I purchased a second HD for the MacPro especially for this occasion because I wanted to leave the original MacPro HD intact. At this point, I had two HD's in the MacPro. After installing Snow Leopard, Migration Assistant copied all files and users as expected but something very strange happened:
1. iMac is 10.6.5 but new HD has 10.6
2. System Preferences were taken from the existing HD in the MacPro
I knew there was something wrong because the desktop image was from the original MacPro HD.
What's more annoying is that I completely wiped the new HD using Disk First Aid and removed the original HD from the MacPro so I could start the entire migration process again. Before quitting Disk First Aid, I noticed that it said 800mb had been used even though I had zero'd out everything.
Again, for the second attempt I decided to remove the original HD from the MacPro and just leave the new drive in there, but it did it again.
1. Question - If I had assigned Migration Assistant to copy files from the iMac HD why did I end up with System Preferences from the original MacPro HD?
2. Question - After completely removing the original MacPro HD from the machine, why did Migration Assistant set up the new HD with the System Preferences on an HD that I had completely removed from the machine?
I know all I have to do is use Software Update to bring it back up to 10.6.5 but it's really annoyed me because now I am wondering about of all the 500 gigs and what files may have been affected (hopefully none). I've had a quick look through the contents but I won't be able to tell because there are so many of them. And do I really want to spend time digging around in the Library of the iMac to copy across the System Preferences to the new HD and then remove what shouldn't have been there in the first place? I don't think so, and I shouldn't have to.
I do wish Apple would have their software do what it says and not go digging around on another HD that was lying dormant for this exercise, especially after removing it for the second attempt. It's wasting so much of my time.
Any thoughts, opinions, excuses and remedies would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

You mean you installed OSX on the new drive. Apparently you used a 10.6.0 disc.
Then, presumably, your Mac re-started (from the new disk), you set up a user account, then started +Migration Assistant.+
Migration Assistant doesn't install or copy OSX; whatever version of OSX you put on that drive is still there.
2. System Preferences were taken from the existing HD in the MacPro
Extremely doubtful.
You have an extra user account (the one you set up after installing OSX and before doing the Migration). Unless you changed it, that account will have the default desktop picture.
Are you sure the account you transferred has a different desktop picture than it did on the iMac? If so, is it the default?
What's more annoying is that I completely wiped the new HD using Disk First Aid and removed the original HD from the MacPro so I could start the entire migration process again. Before quitting Disk First Aid, I noticed that it said 800mb had been used even though I had zero'd out everything.
Yes; that's the partition map and empty directories.
1. Question - If I had assigned Migration Assistant to copy files from the iMac HD why did I end up with System Preferences from the original MacPro HD?
As above, I don't think you did. Be sure which account you're logged-on to.
For best results, start over, and use +Setup Assistant+ instead of +Migration Assistant,+ so you don't end up with extra accounts. See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), and note the green box there.

Migration from unsupported system

I have got an iMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4, and I want to use Migration Assistant to migrate from a machine running 10.3.5 that does not support Firewire target disc mode. I have successfully connected the machines together by ethernet, and can copy files, but this of course does not migrate all my settings, and with a multi user source system, it does not even seem all that simple to get owners/permissions right.
My idea is that it might be possible to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my source system onto a partition on the G5 system (I think that the copy on the G5 system will not boot because it probably doesn't have the right system additions, hence I can't simply copy onto the G5 system and then boot from there).
I would then boot 10.4 on the G5, and could I tell Migration assistant that it should migrate using the partition with the old system as the source? (Will it let me choose that?)
If the principle might work, how should I do the clone, should I do it from the source system, blowing the clone to the partition across the network (or does CCC not work across a network). Or should I do it from the G5 system sucking the system across the network onto the G5?
Unfortunately, Migration assistant seems a good idea, but it seems rather inflexible in the ways that it can be used.
Regards
Beige G3 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Thanks, for the advice, however:
What you plan on doing isn't really recommended.
First off, the copying over the network will have a
hard time preserving permissions,
I realise that it would not preserve permissions if I just copied, which was why I was considering using CCC. Can anyone advise on how I could use CCC in the configuration to get the data to the right place?
and secondly it
would be extremely slow.
Yes, it isn't particularly fast, I tried copying some of my home directory and it took some time, but much less than an hour (ISTR) which would be entirely acceptable (I havn't got that large a disc on the G3).
One of the best things
to consider doing is just copying those folders
which have the necessary data for the migration
using the ethernet network.
Yes, since I am going to have to copy data across anyway, I don't loose much be copying the clone. (The OS which I don't need is a small percentage of the total user data and applications which I need to copy anyway).
There is this article
which can help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301239
But this doesn't even consider things like the network settings etc.
Now I forget whether or not the hard drive in the G3
was an IDE. If it is, your solution would be to put
that hard drive inside a Firewire hard drive case.
Then the migration assistant would happily accept
the data as if it were on an external operating
system.
If I get desparate I might have to go to the expense of the firewire enclosure.
Can anyone tell me whether Migration Assistant behaves OK when there is more than one partition on the mounted firewire drive?
Thanks,
Beige G3 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Maintenace Plan - Scheduling Impact - Migration one SAP system to another

Hello All
I need a small help, we are migrating from one SAP system to another and will be creating maintenance plan (counter, multiple counter and time based) as a 1:1 copy of the source system in the destination system,
1. I have a requirement that all future schedulling orders (schedulled but not created) that are visible in IP24 in source system with a future date should be also visible when the new plans are created and migrated in the new sap system with a same date.
Can some one suggest the way to go ahead on this?
2. Also if in a source system we have a maintenance order open (follow up of a plan) how do i create it as an open order following up from the maintenance plan in the new SAP system.
Thanks
Manu

Hi,
For this to achieve you need to schedule maintenance plans in new system with completion date / Plan start date of last completed call for cases where Completion confirmation is checked / Not checked. This is for plans with single package.
If the plan is of multiple packages, then you need to perform start-in-cycle using the last completed package and the dates as mentioned above.
Permutations and combinations keep on varying if the plans in old systems are counter based, multiple counter based, cycle sets with different dimensions are used.
You need to work out the schedule dates for each combination.
Thx

Migrate Dataservices source system to new source system type in BW 7.3

Hi All,
We have upgraded our BW system to 7.3. In our old 7.0 environment we have linked Data Services 4.0 as an external source system. Now in BW7.3 we would like to migrate the developments on the old source system to the new source system type.
Does anyone know if there is any migration tool which we can use for this?
Best regards,
F. Geldof

Hi Valerie,
Unfortunately i didn't find the answer yet. For the moment we have kept the old connection types to our DS environment.
Good luck!
Best regards,
