New book about virtualization and SAP systems

Hi guys,
for all of you this may be of interest: there is a new book available, which contains a lot of stuff about virtualization. It is not only VMware, but also Hyper-V, Xen and Sun Solaris Zones. Unfortunately the book is only available in german.
It contains a good overview about each solution and how to use the virtualization solution for your SAP environment.
The book can be ordered on amazon, bol etc.
Regards
André

The book is good for beginners to help making a vendor decision and for intermediate users as an installation guide.
It basically walks the reader through the installation of VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, SLES with Xen and Sun Solaris-Zones.
I personally would have preferred to see a little bit more about optimization, but it is definitely a good first release.
One word of warning: I ordered the book directly from SAP Press Germany and even though I got charged $25 for shipping it didn't arrive in prime condition. In fact all corners were bumped and there was also a minor cut across the side of the book. This seems to be caused by using a box for shipping that barely fits the book.
Regardless of the shipping experience I recommend the book if you can read German.
Cheers,
Jens

And then in SAP ,Zreport is there to find out any discrepancy in stocks(Between Extrnl and SAP system).
Problem: They had done GR in external system and they had transferred to SAP throu IDOC. (This usually bieing processed for 1000 of materials.
Now for some materials its showing discrepancy error in Zreport eventhough the SAP system got updated on stocks throu IDOC from external system. ( Not for all materials only for very few case).
So any experts has come across this kind situation in thier experiance .. how to solve this ??

Can Anyone Recommend Books About Mac and Tiger?

Hello,
I'm heading back to the homeland for a short visit in a week's time. I'd like to buy a book that can explain a few things about Tiger so I don't always have to visit the Apple Store and bother the Geniuses there.
Can anyone recommend any good books about Mac and Tiger? I know of "Mac For Dummies" but I've never been a big fan of that series. Cheers and thanks.

Crystal report and SAP system question

Hi,
I try to report off the SAP system using crystal reports without installation of the BOE server. But with very few knowledge of the SAP system, I am not clear of how and what to do. The following is what I have done:
1. From the client machine, I open the crystal report 2008
2. click "SAP" button and then click "Create New Report from a Query"
3. Select the system and enter the login user name/ password information
4. A dialog "Select Query for your Crystal Report" displayed.
    But under "Favorites", no entry found
    Under "Roles", no entry found
    Under infoAreas, there is a "Technical content" on top level and "Exchange Rate Type" is under it. I select this exchange rate type in the report, but it is an empty table.
If I use the same user name/ password to log on the SAPGUI, I am able to see lots of data.
Does anyone know what are the appropriate configuration steps to make the tables/views in the SAP system visible in the crystal reports? Could you please give me the details? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vicky

Hi,
are you trying to report on top of a BW query (mentioned in step 1 and 2) or you trying to create a report on top of tables (mentioned further down).

How to make interconnection between a legacy system and SAP system?

Hi Group,
I have a query on the interconnectivity between a legacy system( non-SAP ) and an SAP system.
The legacy provides data in the form of Files only.
my queries are as under:
1)
how can I make a connection to the Legacy from my SAP system?
2)
what are the different ways by which I can connect these 2 different systems?
3)
I hope there might be a chance of connecting the systems by way of using webservices, in this case what are the things I need to follow inorder to make the connection and get the data from legacy?
please provide me with necessary info on these queries to proceed further.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Hi,
U can use the GUI function m modules to fetch the data from legacy systems.
Also With the help of Remote FMs u can get connected to the SAP backgrounds from NON SAP background like Portal.XI is an interfacing tool used to connect 2 SAP or SAP to non SAP medium.
Regards,
Ajit.

Book about InDesign and XML

Hello everybody!
Has anybody read "A Designer's Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML" by James J. Maivald, Cathy Palmer (Adobe Press)? I am looking for a book about using xml in InDesign. And i'm hoping the title says it all: a guide to show me the basics. Or does anybody have another book I should read?
Thank you for answering!
Maaike

It is a great book to begin for inDesign and XML.
Strange enough there is NO mentioning at all of how to process tabels!
Maaike, if you are Dutch take a look here:

The comunication between SLD and SAP systems.

Hi!
Here is a statement from SAP official document:
By copying the files slddest.cfg and slddest.cfg.key, you have configured TREX for integration in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).
TREX checks every five minutes whether anything has changed in the TREX system landscape and reports any changes automatically to the SLD server. If nothing has changed, TREX reports every twelve hours to the SLD server. This allows you to see that this landscape is still active.
I wonder whether all other SAP systems communicate with SLD in the same fashion as above? If NOT , what is different?
Thanks for clarification.

Hi,
This is how it exchanges data with ABAP and JAVA based systems -
"JCo RFC Provider for accessing SLD data from ABAP-based systems. SLD has a built-in API for Java-based systems that requires no manual configuration for JAVA based systems"

Concerns about 21CN and future systems and protoco...

I don't know if this is the right forum for this topic. Please tell me if it should be somewhere else.
I live in a block of managed "retirement flats for the active retired" - not "care home", please !
As part of the security features, we have a 24/7 electronic emergency "help system" whereby, when we pull a cord in the bathroom or bedroom, for example, we alert a dedicated help centre about sixty or seventy miles away which then provides whatever assistance is required either by talking to us directly or by alerting emergency services locally.
Obviously, this system depends on access to the public telecommunications network in order to work at all.
We have been informed by the management company that our system needs to be replaced as it is now getting too old to maintain. Also, that we will have to pay for it ourselves. Both facts of which we accept.
We have been given two new systems to select from (one called Tunstall Communicall and the other called Tynetec Systems). However, one of the first snags we have run into is one of "future proofing". We have been learning about BT's plans for "21CN" and are concerned about whether any of the two systems we have been given to choose from will continue to function after 21CN comes into effect. Also, whether they will continue to work if BT changes or modifies the specifications for 21CN at any time now or in the future.
Tunstall Communicall claim (repeat, claim) that their system is entirely futureproof by virtue of the fact that they can program into their boxes any protocol that BT (or any other telecomms provider) can throw at them . This, they claim, applies now and in the future.
Tynetec, on the other hand, while claiming (again, claiming) to be fully 21CN compliant, doubt that it is possible for any manufacturer to guarantee to meet every change that BT might throw at them in the future and therefore see no point in trying to guess what BT might do beyond 21CN. As a consequence, they see no point in building this kind of functionality into their systems. Who is telling the truth?
How can we learn more about 21CN in particular -- and BT's plan for its networks in general? Also, will the adoption of Internet Protocols affect the kind of equipment we are planning to invest in? Also, what does 21CN mean to people like us; are its specifications likely to change (and thereby leave us in the lurch) and is it even going ahead at all?
Would it be worthwhile asking the local BT Area Manager in our area to send someone technical to come and talk to us about this? After all, we stand to be forking out more than £24,000 for something that might not work in a few years time - all because of BT.

Have a check Here it is a web site to do with the 21cn switch over.
I suspect that your alarm system will work as all it is is dial up telemetry over a pstn line.
To a certain extent 21cn at CPE (customers premises equipment) level will be backwards compatible, there will be many other companies who use this technology, like water and gas company's.
There was a similar issue back in the 80s when BT upgraded their exchanges from analogue to digital (ie Strowger to System X and Y) The majority of phones worked but the older ones would not give you the full range of facility's (pulse dialling and tone dialling)

New Blogs: Asset Accounting and Project Systems

There are two new blogs out this month in the ERP space.
Dominic Nadeau has blogged about a useful tcode in PS to track changes to a project.
/people/dominic.nadeau/blog/2008/06/09/fields-in-problem-in-a-project
I've written a blog on the Schedule Manager Monitor. I've given an example related to Asset Accounting but it works for most all areas in FI/CO.

When you create the WBS in will create from there an AUC. In the auc in the tab origin you see the project number.
When you settle it from the AUC (in PS) to the final asset you found the AUC number back in the asset tab origin. You can click to on the posting on the asset

Is there a way to find all config changes between clients and sap system

We have our Dev system with clients
310 - Developer make changes and create transport
400 - Test client
410 - a copy of our Production system (over 1 year ago0
TST - this is our quality system with one client
101
Production system one client
101
I know if i do a database copy from Production to our TST system, both systems would be exact.
Abaper Director wants to know all the configuration changes that are different between Devopment client 310 - Test and production.
I told him that in development client 310 the abaper or functional users make most of the changes if they do not get transported they would be missing.
I cannot copy to client 310 otherwise we would loose all of our version management.
Is there another way that I can see the config changes between all these clients.
Thanks
Joe

You should be able to use tcode SCU0

Acknowledgements between SAP and Webservices systems

Hi , I have integrated a SAP and legacy system ( with webservices ) . I woul dlike to know how i can enchance the integrations with acknowledgements . It would be nice if both the systems know what happened to their sent message. I have gone through the document 'how to handle IDOC acknowledgements' . It only talks about sender and receiver systems being sap systems.
Any design ideas with acknowledgements ? The Syncronous calls are fine cos they get back a response. I would like to know how to deal with IDOC acknowledgemnts and the response from the webservice interface.
Thank you
Sudheer

>>It only talks about sender and receiver systems being sap systems.
No it doesn't talks only about SAP-SAP system.
the last section(i guess last 2-3 pages) explain acknowledgment in case of legacy-SAP system
Please check the last section of that .pdf
Thanx

SIK Transport files and None unicode SAP system

Dear all,
I have a question about SIK Transport files.
As you know, when we install BOE SIK,we need transport some files into SAP system.
There is a TXT file for describing how to use SIK transport files in SAP system.
I found that there is no detail about none unicode SAP system in this TXT file.
All of them is about unicode.
If your SAP system is running on a BASIS system earlier than 6.20, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are ANSI.)
Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900084.r22 and R900084.r22)
Info Set Connectivity transport (K900085.r22 and R900085.r22)
Row-level Security Definition transport (K900086.r22 and R900086.r22)
Cluster Definition transport (K900093.r22 and R900093.r22)
Authentication Helpers transport (K900088.r22 and R900088.r22)
If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 BASIS system or later, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
If our SAP BASIS system is beyond 6.20,but iit is not unicode system.
Could we use these transport files to none unicode SAP system ?
Thanks!
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
the text and the installation guide is clearly advising based on the version of your underlying BASIS system and differentiates 620 or 640 and higher.
so based on the fact that you system is a BI 7 system you are in the category of a 640 (or higher) basis system and therefore you have to use the Unicode ENABLED transports.
