MS-LDAP usernames are 15 char long SAP only allows 12 Char

I have a customer that has a MS-Active Directory consolidation project going on as well as an SAP implementation. There will need to be new standards set for the Active Directory and there will be a large data cleanup. I am not sure if they will use portal but it is an ECC, BI and PI implementation at least. They wish to set up Single sign on with LDAP. The issue is some of their LDAP user names are 15 charcters long but SAP only accepts 12 characters - what will happen when we connect this up?
Is there any way around it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
but I would not cut off the username without searching for duplicates.
A good way to solve this could be to introduce an IdM username based upon numbers, like A00001, A00002 and so on. And then join in the usernames from AD and SAP storing their usernames in the ACCOUNT attributes or something.
For the duplicate check you could use the fields firstname, lastname, mail address, personal number, ... It can be a bit tricky though and you may need to manually synchronize some users, but this is worth it.

Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder. Only a random fraction are copied. It use to work perfect. Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder. Only a random fraction are copied. It use to work perfect. I can move them 4 or 5 at a time, but it is very time consuming. Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

OK - here is what I've done in the past. As I want to be able to save my photos on a DVD that can be read by both a PC and a Mac, I am burning them in Finder. I start by downloading into IPhoto. I'll flag and edit the ones I want to print or post to the web. After that I want to take all the keepers and move them from IPhoto to various files I create in the document section of Finder. I've done it both ways in the past, copy and paste or just drag over, all the files would transfer over. Now there may be dozens of pictures that do not move over - very random, in one case there were only 6 photos and the 3 vertical ones did not copy over.
I'm wondering if this is a software issue or if there is just too much data being moved around. FYI there are 2 Nikon cameras I use and the files from both do this.
Thanks

Suddenly my ethernet and firewall are no longer connected. router is good...and can connect only using wifi...suggestions?

suddenly my ethernet and firewall are no longer connected. router is good...and can connect only using wifi...suggestions?

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

RFC SDK, connect with japanese username to a unicode SAP system

Hello everybody,
I try to connect with a japanese username to a unicode SAP system. I use VC++ and make the call like this:
     BYTE utf8_byteArray[10] = {0xE3, 0x81, 0x8A, 0xE3, 0x81, 0x99, 0xE3, 0x81, 0x99, 0x00 };
     CString sJapUser(utf8_byteArray);
     sConnectParam.Format( cU("CLIENT=%s USER=%s PASSWD=%s LANG=%s SYSNR=%d ASHOST=%s PCS=2"),
                         "800",
                         sJapUser,
                         "password",
                         "EN",
                         1,
                         "9.22.104.145");
     hRfc = ::RfcOpenEx( (char*)(LPCTSTR)sConnectParam, &error_info);
I tried it with different codepages and PCS settings (1/2) too but i always get the error:
"Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)"
When I connect to a non unicode japanese system in locale encoding it works.
Another thing i saw is that the utf8 string is truncated after 12 bytes (12 character/bytes is the limit of user name length). When I use a japanese username with 6 japanese symbols (18 bytes in utf8) I see the following in the RFC trace:
rfcOpenHooked
    destination             <unknown>
    mode                    3
    conopt 3 hostname       9.22.104.145
    conopt 3 sysnr          1
    conopt 3 use_l_bal      0
    conopt 3 use_sapgui     0
    client                  800
    user                    おすすめ (here the username misses 2 japanese characters)
    language                E
    trace                   0
L-GetCodePage (DEFAULT-CP) rc = 0: 1100
Here the username is correct:
>>> RfcOpenEx ...
Got following connect_param string:
   CLIENT=800 USER=おすすめダウ PASSWD=******* LANG=EN SYSNR=1 ASHOST=9.22.104.145 CODEPAGE=4110 PCS=2
Send RFCHEADER: 01/LIT/IEEE/SPACE/4110
Send UNICODE-RFCHEADER: cp:4110/ce:IGNORE/et:5/cs:1/rc:0x00000023
In the RFC trace the username is truncated (only 12 bytes(4 characters) instead of 18 bytes (6 characters))
000160 | 44657369 676E0130 0111000C E3818AE3 |Design.0........|
000170 | 8199E381 99E38281 01110117 000C905F |..............._|
000180 | E417BBAC 1DDD543E CE540117 01140003 |......T>.T......|
To connect with japanese usernames using the SAP-GUI works fine but the rfc traces show that the connection is established in another way.
Can anyone help me with this or is it just impossible to use japanese usernames for logon with RFC.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Material number with leading zeros (40 char long)

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP ME 6.1.4.15.
I am having a problem with the material number appearing in production order / planned order request document in MEINT and failing there since the material it is looking for is with leading zeros (for example 1291 appearing as 0000000000000000000000000000000000001291) - a total of 40 char long.
But this material exists in ME as 1291 only. Can any one throw any light on this as to what could be the reason and how to solve it?
Thanks
Srinivas

Dear Srinivas,
SAP Note 1799009 - 'Presence of leading zeros is inconsistent over IDOC thus SAP MEINT cannot handle all inbound IDOC consistently' should help to resolve the problem.

Alex.

APex 4.1 Error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG

Hi There,
Facing a strange issue.
I have a regular cursor, and in that cursor loop I have a select statement into some variables based on cursor parameters.
I was getting the "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" error so I started individually checking each of the columns. Now it works fine for some column, but the moment I add this number field. It starts throwing this error. Now, the database source where the select is fired is of type number, the variable into which I select it is number .
Infact, I dont have any LONG column defined anywhere.
The strange thing is that the block executes perfectly fine in SQl developer. So looks like a Apex specific issue.
I am on 4.1/11g
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sun

How does adv tax payments are handled in sap

how does adv tax payments are handled in sap
is there any method involved to handled it through app

Andres,
Thanks for your feedback - my question was probably a little vague (at best).
The ASCII characters are hidden in the barcode - they do not form part of the numeric string when scanning into a normal char field.
If I open notepad and scan I do not see the special character. If I open word and scan, I still do not see the special character but the font size changes where I know the special character exists - obviously it is a command to word.
If I open CMD DOS prompt and scan there, I CAN see the special character.
This led me to this how can I format an SAP field to behave the same way?
I've subsequently found configuration settings in the scanning device itself which allows me to swap these hidden character (called Function Codes) with actual characters of my choice. For now this is how I will have to do it. The only issue with this approach is that I have to make sure all scanners are set up properly in each country which is a bit of a pain.
Regards,
Mark.

Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

Hi,
Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
SplashID
Daily Devo
Daily Light (Love)
Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others. I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password. I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
EDIT: Never mind. It appears that it only did that on the first launch. I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.
