Need Step By Step Guide For Data Archiving

Can anybody provide me step by step Data Archiving guide for ECC 6.0 system.
I searched OSS but did not get any guide.
Thanks

Hi
You can go through the below links related to archiving which transactions we use for archiving the objects and how we do that.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/15/c9df3b6ac34b44e10000000a114084/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW04S/helpdata/EN/43/f0ed9f81917063e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Basically Data archiving process comprises three major phases. They are:
1. Creating an archive file: The archived files of data are created in the SAP database by the Archiving Management system. The Management system reads the data from the database and writes it to the archive files in the background. In instances of archived files exceeding the maximum specified limit, or if the number of data objects exceed the stipulated limit in the system, then the system automatically creates new archive files.
At the end of the process of saving data into archive files, ADK triggers the system event SAP_ARCHIVING_WRITE_FINISHED, which is an indicator to the system to start next phase of archiving process.
2. Removing the archived data from the database:
While archiving management system writes data on the archive files, another program deletes it from the database permanently. The program checks whether the data has been transferred to the archive. It is quite important too as it is the last check performed by the system before deleting data permanently from the database. Several deletion programs run simultaneously, because the archiving program is much more faster than the deletion programs. This is important as it increases the efficiency of archiving process.
3. Transferring the archived files to a location outside the SAP database
Once the Archive management system has finished archiving the data, the next step is to save the archived files at a different location other than the SAP database. This can be accomplished by an automated process in the system or by a manual process. This step is optional since many enterprises may wish to keep the archived files within the current database. However, large enterprises transfer their data periodically as a part of their data archiving processes.
Hope this helps!!
Thanks and Kind Regards

For my ongoing project , I am in the need of connecting the CRM server with
SD server.
Can u share any Step- By Step guide for doing that.
I know that the RFC connection has to be established between the system.
Logical system must be create and all such stuffs.
It is definitly helpful, If u can help me out.
I would to thank, appreciate and reward for your help
Best Regards,
Maniprabu

Hi Mani,
Follow the following steps :
1. Create RFC destination for both the systems on CRM and R/3 in SM59.
2. Create the logical systems and assign clients to logical system in SALE transaction both on CRM and R/3.
3. Create a user in the R/3 table CRMCONSUM with the name CRM.
4. Maintain the Middlware Parameter tables on CRM : Table SMOFPARSFA:
   Create an entry for following parameter entry:
   Key - R3A_COMMON

Could you Please Send me the Step by Step guide for the BADI

Hi ABAPers,
Could you Please Send me the Step by Step guide for the BADI.It is very Urgent
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok.

Each BAdI has a definition and more than one implementation. The definition means the methods(in class concept) that are used for performing various functions. The BAdI definition can be viewed in SE18 transaction(for standard ones) and user-defined BAdIs can be created in the same transaction as well.
When you create a BAdI definition, an class interface will be automatically created and you can define your methods in the interface. The implementation of the methods can be done in SE19 transaction .

suppose your working for XK01 then for that the BADI being VENDOR_ADD_DATA then this implemetation procedure.
Steps:
1. Execute Business Add-In(BADI) transaction SE18
2. Enter BADI name i.e. VENDOR_ADD_DATAand press the display
button
3. Select menu option Implementation->Create
4. Give implementation a name such as Z_VENDOR_ADD_DATA
5. You can now make any changes you require to the BADI within this
implementation, for example choose the Interface tab
6. Double click on the method you want to change, you can now enter
any code you require.
7. Please note to find out what import and export parameters a
method has got return the original BADI definition
(i.e. VENDOR_ADD_DATA) and double click on the method name
for example within VENDOR_ADD_DATA contract is a method
8. When changes have been made activate the implementation
BADI(Business Add-In) is the object oriented method of user exits...
Each BAdI has a definition and more than one implementation. The definition means the methods(in class concept) that are used for performing various functions. The BAdI definition can be viewed in SE18 transaction(for standard ones) and user-defined BAdIs can be created in the same transaction as well.
When you create a BAdI definition, an class interface will be automatically created and you can define your methods in the interface. The implementation of the methods can be done in SE19 transaction

New to Badi
Follow the below steps to find out what all BADI's are called when you press any button in any transaction.
1) Goto se24 (Display class cl_exithandler)
2) Double click on the method GET_INSTANCE.
3) Put a break point at Line no.25 (CASE sy-subrc).
Now
4) Execute SAP standard transaction
5) Press the required button for which you need to write an exit logic, the execution will stop at the break point.
6) Check the values of variable 'exit_name', it will give you the BADI name called at that time.
7) This way you will find all the BADIs called on click of any button in any transaction.
Business Add-Ins
Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software.
As with customer exits (SMOD/CMOD [Page 40]), two different views are available:
In the definition view, an application programmer predefines exit points in a source that allow specific industry sectors, partners, and customers to attach additional software to standard SAP source code without having to modify the original object.
In the implementation view, the users of Business Add-Ins can customize the logic they need or use a standard logic if one is available.
In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-system infrastructure (SAP and customers), but instead allow for multiple levels of software development (by SAP, partners, and customers, and as country versions, industry solutions, and the like). Definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins can be created at each level within such a system infrastructure.
SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time.
In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to control add-in implementation and make it dependent on specific criteria (on a specific Country value, for example). All ABAP sources, screens, GUIs, and table interfaces created using this enhancement technique are defined in a manner that allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard.
A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task. In Release 4.6A, program and menu enhancements can be made with Business Add-Ins. The actual program code is enhanced using ABAP Objects. In order to better understand the programming techniques behind the Business Add-In enhancement concept, SAP recommends reading the section on ABAP Objects
DEFINING THE BADI
1) execute Tcode SE18.
2) Specify a definition Name : ZBADI_SPFLI
3) Press create

u can find BADI's in different ways...
1>First go to any transaction->iN THE menu bar SYSTEM->STATUS->Get the program name ->double click->u will go to the program attached to the tcode.Now search term will be CALL CL_EXITHANDLER.Now u will get list of BADI'S available..
2>Goto SE24->Give class name as CL_EXITHANDLER->Display->double click on get_instance mathod->Now u will go inside the method->Now put break point on the cl_exithandler.Now go to any transaction code and pass dat..U will see that it will be stopped on the break point which u set on the cl_exithandler...In the exit name u can find list of badi's attached to the tcode..
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
Set flag field "Buffer trace"
Remark: We need to trace also the buffer calls, because BADI database tables are buffered. (Especially view V_EXT_IMP and V_EXT_ACT)
Push the button "Activate Trace". Start transaction VA02 in a new GUI session. Go back to the Performance trace session.
Push the button "Deactivate Trace".
Push the button "Display Trace".
The popup screen "Set Restrictions for Displaying Trace" appears.
Now, filter the trace on Objects:
V_EXT_IMP
V_EXT_ACT
Push button "Multiple selections" button behind field Objects
Fill: V_EXT_IMP and V_EXT_ACT
All the interface class names of view V_EXT_IMP start with IF_EX_. This is the standard SAP prefix for BADI class interfaces. The BADI name is after the IF_EX_.
So the BADI name of IF_EX_CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA is CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.
The simplese way for finding BADI is
1. chooes Tcode Program & package for that Tcode.
2. Go to Tcode se18
3. Press F4
4. search by package or by program.

Step-by-Step guide for developing a ADF application, does it exist?

Step-by-Step guide for developing a ADF application, does it exist?
Hi there,
At our company we recently begun working on a project using Oracle ADF with
UIX. We got the Oracle JDeveloper 10g handbook and we did a 5 day Oracle ADF
course. A good way to start the project I think.
One thing that bothers me though, is that I cannot find a simple clean example
how to manipulate a record in the DB, going through all steps of MVC. I tried
this forum, the books we got and google. It usualy explains a small portion
of the steps needed, but never a complete example.
I know people will probably say you can design what you want in various ways
and that's its all up to the developer, this is also the power of ADF that it
can be very flexible.
However it would be nice to have a step-by-step example how to be able to insert,
edit and delete a record. Showing all the steps that have to be made in the BC4J,
struts and UIX, including creating triggers, seq, autocommitting etc.
I think ADF is pretty complicated, therefore having a step-by-step example guide
(design pattern) would be very handy for a beginner like me.
Do such guides exist, are there developers who created such a guide for themselves?
Would other developers find such a guide useful? I'm curious about everybody's
opinion.
A good example of what I mean by guide can be found here
How To Build a Simple UIX Search Form, written by Shay Shmeltzer

Have a look at the ADF Workshop - it doesn't use UIX rather it uses JSP but I think it will give you the basics.

Is there a step by step guide for getting splash on arch?

hi,
i looked every where for a step by step guide for getting splash on bootup working on arch.
i know if you use archlinux you're suppose to figure out things for youreself, which i handle pritty well i think, but kernel stuff, i am not sure for now, and i dont have time (exams) to break my system so if anyone could point me to a step by step guide, i will thank him.

AFAIK there isn't a way. I tried to get fbsplash working recently without much success.
There were a few rather complicated methods, and I thought the easiest way was to use an initrd image. Obviously, the default kernel already uses one so I recompiled a kernel to have support for an initrd image, but not need to use one. Then I used splashutils to create an initrd image with the splash image contained and booted the kernel using this as an image. Kernel booted, but no splash. I then gave up. I also had to patch the splashutils scripts as they were broken in places. Right at the moment, I don't crave a splash image enough to warrant more hacking.
fbsplash is meant to work without the fbcondecor kernel patch, so I didn't try using it. This may be a path you want to try out.

The step-by-step guide for installing the Oracle Database and Oracle9iAS Portal

All,
I made a step-by-step guide for installing the Oracle 8.1.7 database and Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.1 (HTTP Only) install on a 'clean' Windows 2000 machine. The guide has a screen shot of every single step that I went through to get an installation of the database and Oracle9iAS Portal to work.
Because I left my email in the guide, everyone will be sending me email with questions about their particular install. [What I really wanted was some positive feedback email to show to my manager... hint hint.] As I do not want to troubleshoot everyone's install by email, I started this thread.
Let's start the step-by-step install guide discussion here.
As a start, here is what I did NOT want to do with the guide: I did not want to 'redo' the current Oracle9iAS installation guide. So I did not put any conditions in the guide. This is just what I had to do to take a clean Windows2000 machine (no Oracle software on it) and get it to work. If I keep on adding conditions, eventually I will end up with the installation document.
Also, in the next version (for the Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2) I will probably start over again from scratch as we are planning on addressing some of the issues with the install.
Another thing I plan to do is put the following direct links in:
Oracle9iAS Portal: Troubleshooting Guide
Oracle9iAS Portal: Diagnostics Tool
Oracle9iAS Portal: FAQ
Have a look at the above, as they will answer probably all of your questions... But if not post away!
Thanks,
Rich

We do have installed a Lotus Notes LDAP. Unfortunately, the documentation is company internal in German.
The steps, in general, where:
1) Create physical connection (obviously, you did that)
2) Deploy the XML Descriptor for the LDAP under "UM Configuration => Data Sources"
We used a derivate of the Sun One LDAP Profile.
3) Match the assignement LDAP Group --> EP Role --> EP User via EP user management
4. The user, in our case, is always created in the LDAP first (from a different LDA administration group) and is then visible in the Portal)
I know, this is very generic, but the "magic" is in the XML profile and I haven't seen any documentation about it yet.

Is there a step-by-step guide for MOC ?

I'm looking to get a step-by-steo guide as to how my.oracle.com
(MOC) was developed. The "white paper" is just background
material and not what I was looking for. I'm looking for a how-
to ONE-STOP-SHOP guide. This would be the biggest selling point
for Oracle Portal.
Is it out there?

Hi,
I would like to have the step-by-step guide for MOC development, if you got one already.

Best Practise for Data Archiving

Hi All,
I have query in SAP that when business will do the data archving in their R3 systems.
On which basis they will do data archiving?
Is there any minimum period that data need's to be archived?
before doing the data archiving what they will do ?
Regards
Srini

Hi Srini,
1. SAP suggestes to implement data archiving strategy as early as possible to manage database growth .
However pople think of archiving when they realise the problems like large data volumes,slow system resonse time,performance issues etc...
2. There is a proper way to implement Data Archiving . Database has to be anaylzed first for getting the top DB tables and Archiving objects.
3. Based on the DB analysis ,Data archiving plan has to be implenemted according to data management guide.
4. There is a minimum period known as residence time has to be completed before any data to be archived. Once the document is business completed and serverd its minimum required period in the Database ,it can be archived.
5, Before going for data archiving there are many steps to be followed like analysis,configuration etc that you can see in details at the link below :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/2e/9396345788c131e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm

A question on different options for data archival and compression

Hi Experts,
I have production database of about 5 terabyte size in production and about 50 GB in development/QA. I am on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux. We have RMAN backups configured. I have a question about data archival stretegy. To keep the OLTP database size optimum, what options can be suggested for data archival?
1) Should each table have a archival stretegy?
2) What is the best way to archive data - should it be sent to a seperate archival database?
In our environment, only for about 15 tables we have the archival stretegy defined. For these tables, we copy their data every night to a seperate schema meant to store this archived data and then transfer it eventualy to a diffent archival database. For all other tables, there is no data archival stretegy.
What are the different options and best practices about it that can be reviewed to put a practical data archival strategy in place? I will be most thankful for your inputs.
Also what are the different data compression stregegies? For example we have about 25 tables that are read-only. Should they be compressed using the default oracle 9i basic compression? (alter table compress).
Thanks,
OrauserN

You are using 11g and you can compress read only as well as read-write tables in 11g. Both read only and read write tables are the candidate for compression always. This will save space and could increase the performance but always test it before. This was not an option in 10g. Read the following docs.

Any pre-requiste for data archiving

hi,
is there any pre-requiste for data archiving..
i.e., for a particular data we have to archive..
or any condition
regards
sree

Hi
Archive Selection
Use
For some archiving actions it is necessary to select individual archive files or whole archive sessions and make them available for the relevant action. You do this in the Archive Selection screen, which is accessible from the initial screen of the relevant action.
Archive selection is relevant for the following actions:
Delete
Read
Build index
Reload
Postprocessing
Prerequisites
Depending on the action, there are four different criteria for whether archiving sessions and archive files are displayed in the archive selection:
Criterion 1
Archive file status
Action
Criterion
Delete
Archive file status
Archived or
Stored (if sequence "Store before deletion" has been selected in Customizing)
Read
Archive file status Archived
or
Deleted
or
Saved
Build index
Archive file has the status Deleted and the file is in the file system
Reload
Archive file is in file system and the session has the corresponding status (see criterion 5)
Postprocessing
All archive files have status Deleted
Criterion 2
The archive file must contain at least one data object. If you have performed an archiving session and maintained the variants so that no data objects were archived, the archive file is automatically deleted and no longer offered for selection.
Criterion 3
If a file is not accessible in the file system, the file is not offered for selection. A file is only offered for read if all the files in a session are accessible.
While checking the accessibility of a file, the system performs a read access for each file. This check process can take a long time if there are a lot of files. To optimize this process the access check can be de-/activated according to archive files in file system and archive files in an optical archive in archiving object-specific Customizing.
Criterion 4
For client-dependent archiving objects only the sessions for the current client are offered.
Criterion 5
An archiving session can only be reloaded if it has the status Complete or Archiving session is reloaded.
Features
In the Archive Selection screen, which you can access by choosing Archive Selection from the initial screen of the archiving action, you can either select complete archive sessions or individual archive files.

Any step-by-step guide for implementing intermediate event?

Hi All,
I am trying to implement intermediate event in my BPM and so far I have created:
1) An intermediate event
2) WSDL file
3) A message trigger
But I am not getting how to proceed further. In the following document I found that a context DO needs to be used: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0369539-e876-2d10-ef93-8f30e112ee6d?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
But I am not sure which context it is referring to?
Is there any step-by-step guide to implement this? or any wiki link?
Ameya

Hi Ameya,
Follow below steps:
1. Create WSDL file
2. Create an intermediate event in process modeling screen
3. Click on Intermediate event> Properties>Event Trigger
4. TRIGGER Drop Down> New
5. Give Name to your Message Trigger>Next
6. SERVICE dropdown>Select the WSDL created> Finish.
And I suppose they have mentioned Data Object for using it in coorelation condition.
Correlation condition is a boolean test which should be True(default) for the ntermediate message to be triggered.
As there will be mutliple process instances, when PI (in your case) trigger the intermediate event (consume WS) we can give a correlation conditon to check whether it is for the right process instance.
In you case you can store the Request ID in BPM DO, and also request it from PI while consuming WS and validate it in correlation condition.

Unni

Step by Step guide for upload iPad only apps

Please note that this is not derived from me alone.
This Knowledge is derived from three forum members, DutyFarm, ChoosingNameCanBeSoXXX & Dei_Machiavelli.
I just add the solution for generate the .xcent file.
[Atleast enough for me to make it work.]
Welcome that if anyone find that this step by step guide not detail enough, you can copy and add more points and post again.
Step 1:
Make sure that all the Icons for the iPad are accounted for because if you don't, Application Loader will Scream
[For some strange reason, you have to add the Old iPhone Icon Size as well]:
                         Old iPhone: 57 by 57 [Icon]
             Start Up Icon for iPad: 72 by 72 [Icon-iPad.png].
SpotLight Search for iPad Must Have: 48 by 48 [Icon-iPad-spot.png]
Step 2:
Load the Mac, unzip your *.ipa file, place the *.app file on your desktop and modify its internal Info.plist file.
Change 3.0 to 3.2 here:
<key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
<string>3.2</string>
Step 3:
Because after you change the Info.plist file by your own way, the file will changed to wrong codesign.
So that will need this step to change it back to right codesign which can success upload to apple store.
Create this weird NameOfYourApp.xcent file on your desktop:
That strange 10 digit is the App ID:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>application-identifier</key>
    <string>APP_ID_Letters_&_NUMBER_HERE.com.whatever.YourAppName</string >
    <key>get-task-allow</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Step 4:
Now Type this in Terminal:
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name" "--resource-rules=/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app/ResourceRules.pl ist" --entitlements "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.xcent" "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app"
iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name << This you can check back at your Cert in Keychain.
/Users/ABC/Desktop/ : here is assume that your username in you Mac OS is ABC. But more easily, you can put all the file at any path you want.
I just put all files at the iPad folder at system disk root. so that the path just /iPad/ .
OK, if no error come out, congrats that you are done. You can upload the app by Application Loader. (Assume that you know what is it, and need to zip you .ipa before upload)
BUT, LIKE ME and some member here, we see two error after the Step 4 command as below:
/Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: unrecognized blob type (accepting blindly)
/Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: invalid length in entitlement blob
After few night try..... finally I found out the solution and just successfully submit the iPad App!!!
The main problem was we used a wrong method to create that stupid MyApp.xcent file!!!!
I used many many method, use Mac text editor, Window notepad, Mac/ Window Dreamweaver as .xml......
but all facing the strange "invalid length in entitlement blob"
why invalid length?!?! so I try to search for what is .xcent..... finally I found the following webpage
http://www.246tnt.com/iPhone/
it's talk about codesign and entitlement files.
then..... I FOUND .xcent NOT ONLY A SAMLPE TEXT FILE!!!!!
in the middle of the link above, there are a highlighted simple script , which is a python script to help us generate a .xcent entitlement file!!!!!
Here is step by step solution to solve this error:
1) just download the .py file here: simple script
2) put the .py file anywhere you like, or just simply put in the root of you mac
3) turn on the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), goto the folder where you put the .py
4) TYPE: python gen_entitlements.py 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp myApp.xcent
    Where 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp is your AppID with BundleID,
    myApp.xcent is the file will be generate to you
5) Finally you can see the .xcent which make me nearly crazy for a week!!!!!!!!
6) Use this .xcent file to run that codesign script (Step 4 above)
7) Congratulation the codesign changed and you can zip your app and upload it
I have spent many hours for this simple stuff.........so sad........>.<
Hope this post can help all guys who still mad on this error when trying to upload a iPad only apps.
Good luck!!

I think I followed everything very closely, but I am getting these errors when trying to run the codesign script
here is my script command:
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Nethercottage Games, LLC" "--resource-rules=/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/ResourceRules.plist" --entitlements "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.xcent" "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app"
Here is the error I get:
/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: replacing invalid existing signature
codesign_allocate: object: /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/book1 malformed object (unknown load command 9)
/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: object file format invalid or unsuitable
Any help on this please?

Setup of Xwindows - step by step guide for SLES 11.3 reqd

Hi
I have used Unix before but I am new to SLES and I need to run a gui based installer on a new AWS image of SUSE 11.3.
I wanted to remove Putty/SSH complications from the equation so for now, to check if XWindows is working I directly connected to the SLES desktop using xRDP as ec2-user, and from xterm I issued the following commands:
su - root
export TERM=xterm
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
After checking the variables, I launched xclock but it fails making me conclude that Xwindows is not correctly configured or running.
Can anyone point me towards a step by step guide on how to setup XWindows, or given my dated knowledge, is there a better way to run a gui-based program?
Regards
Ratna

A couple thoughts:
1. If this is just SLES (and not Open Enterprise Server (OES) then you
may want to post in the SUSE forums (https://forums.suse.com/) using the
same credentials that you used to access this site.
2. It sounds like you have X working already since you were able to acess
the system using xRDP. Is there a reason you cannot just start the
installer from there? Alt+F2 to run things usually, I think. If you are
using Gnome, I think 'gksu' or 'gksudo' will start things as a privileged
user from the current non-root user after sufficient credentials are
entered; from the KDE side of things I use 'kdesu' all of the time for the
same thing. This avoids loading a shell, changing to root, forwarding X,
etc. as you are trying to do.
3. Going back to your attempt, I do not see you allowing access to your X
session anywhere so that 'root' can connect with its new process. Before
you change to root, you need to instruct your current X session to allow
other users to throw things onto your desktop (usually not a good thing).
The easy way is to just run 'xhost +' from a shell, maybe before running
'su'; note that if other users are on the system they can now send shells
your way forever, and that may not be fun.
Good luck.
