Hi All,
OK help and advise needed. My office has agreed to purchase a Mac Book Pro for my useage but i need to find out how i can continue to use SAP on the system.
At present i use the following on a Windows XP system
Release: 620 final release
File version: 6206.6.44.965
Build: 641640
Patch level 44
I need to be able to log into SAP and use the same functions as present. can i do this on a Mac with 10.4.10 OSx or leopard?
What will i need to download in order to install SAP Gui on the MAC?
Sorry for a newbie question but our IT Admin has not looked into this before and i need to confirm if there is any problems and if there is I need to test VM windows with SAP running inside?
Thanks in advance
Darren

New sap user creation

Hi All SAP experts,
My company has implemented 2 Systems SAP Landscape with one development and one production server which are running on R/3 Enterprise 4.7 (Kernel Release 6.20) with Microsoft SQL 2000 as database server.
I have the following questions regarding new sap user creation by using user copy function.
1.When I request to create new SAP User by using user copy function ,should I just create the user acct in DEV and transport it to PROD System? If yes, how could I do that?
2.When I request to create new SAP User by using user copy function, can I just create it on PROD System only? If yes, what is the impact?
3.When using User copy function to create new user acct, should I select all parts (like adress ,defaults,reference user, user groups.....) of the existing user to be cloned to new user acct?
Thanks.
Leon

Hi Leon,
Answer to your questions in their respective order:
1. You can create user in DEV and then make remote client copy to PRD system using scc9 t-code. Here you can choose user accounts and authorizations for the copy. ( Rem: Data will be overwritten in target system when copied).
You can also use client export/import(scc8/scc7)
But, When you do the client import from the exported files using STMS,you will have to select only one of the transport requests and then STMS automatically selects the other requests for you.
Then it will show you the different transport requests that you have created during your export, the client copy profile and the target system and client. The customizing and application data is deleted in the target client before copying for all profiles except SAP_USER. This is technically unavoidable (and hence the data will be overwritten).
So if you can afford overwritting of user data in target client , you can go with the above procedure.
2. Using user copy in su01, you can copy one user to another user only in that client and is confined to that system only. So yes, If you want 2 or more users to have same authorizations, profiles ,etc etc.. you can choose this in PROD system.
3. It depends.. If you want user to be in same group, then you can choose user groups. If you want them to have same authorizations , you can choose roles and profiles... If you want them to have same company address and others,... you can select address.. and so on.
Also below link provides required steps in case you choose local/ remote client copy:

Hope this helps...

Business Partner ID same as SAP User ID

Hi All,
We have one SAP Service Desk Implementation going on.
There is an intresting requirement as follows:
1) BP ID generated should be same as their respective SAP User ID, irrespective of the BP Role.
2) First Run for Mass Generation has to be done and that should take care of point 1.
3) Business Partners should be automatically created by system whenever a new SAP User ID is created in system landscape.
I know that if i use external number range, this can be done. Moreover there is one standard BP Mass Creation program also. But challenge is to find setting which makes this BP ID generated same as SAP User ID.
In past, I have manually created external BPs like this because volume was very low in those projects... but now we have more than 1000+ users whose will be associated with service desk.
Please advice.
Regards,
SM

Hi,
there is a technical problem with your request:
BP numbers are limited to 10 characters but user IDs can have up to 12 characters.
So you will not be able to set BP number = user ID if you have user IDs with more than 10 characters.

Christoph

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly. Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

I used the migration assistant to transfer files from my PC to my Mac but it recreated my user profile from the PC and I wanted to transfer the files to the new different user profile I've setup on the Mac. How can I transfer everything now?

I have an older Windows laptop and I am switching to a new MacBook Air. The main user on the Windows laptop is going to be different than the main user on the MacBook. I used the migration assistant to transfer data to the MacBook but it recreated the whole older profile on the new Mac when I just wanted to pull everything over into the new user profile I had already created on the new MacBook. How can I go about putting the data over into the new user profile and erasing the older other user profile it recreated? Would I erase the old user profile on the new Mac and start over with the migration assistant using some setting I missed that lets me pull the data over to the new main user on the MacBook? Or is there a way to rename the old user profile on the Mac to match what I want the new username/password to be somehow?
Or would it be best to back the data I really need from the old PC onto an external HD and then copy it over to the new Mac from the external HD?
Looking for advice on how to best go about this. On the old PC I had multiple profiles and it was awkward. On the new Mac I just want a single profile for the primary user and both users will just share the same user profile. I wasn't sure if the Migration Assistant only let you recreate entire profiles or if there was a way to just import data from the old PC's primary profile into the new Mac's new primary profile with some setting adjustment.
Data would be docs, pics, bookmarks, music. Fairly basic.
Thanks for any and all advice,

Look in the /Users/ folder.

Itunes libraries on new user account on Mac

Hi everyone, got a complicated one for you, or I think so. I bought my Mac from a relative. I set up users for all the family but I kept his user account and just changed it to be mine as an administrator. All was fine and managed to transfer my itunes data and sync my iphone and then it was the primary itunes library for it. But as time went on I was fed up having his name appear on the system when it should have been mine as I now owned it so I created a new administrator/user account for me and deleted his. Worked fab.
But then I tried to sync my iphone and it wont do it. It comes up with the message that my iphone is already associated/synced with an itunes library on the Mac and can only be associated with one library. The problem is I have no idea what to do now. Ive deleted the old user account, ive no idea where I can find out where on the Mac that library is etc etc. I have tried to transfer purchases from the iphone onto the Mac but it only picks up a very small amount of the music I ave on it. Can anyone help please. Hope this makes sense and thank you in advance. Operating OS X 10.9.2

The library was in the user account you deleted. You should have transferred the iTunes folder before deleting the account.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

SAP* user not working in new client

Hi,
I created a new client from SCC4. And now I am trying to login with SAP* user and pass password but it is not allowing. Note provided in SAP Config Guide is not working.
I installed SAP Solution Manager 7.0 SP12 and then created a client.
Please let me know how to solve this issue.
Points will be awarded.
Regards.

Hi!
I agree that the issue is probably due to the parameters for the automatic user SAP* - not sure about the Masterpassword though - the newly created client is only an entry in a table at this stage, so I don't think the system will know any password but the hardcoded one...
Something you should be very careful about is the Java-Stack, which is part of SolMan7 and which runs SMD. The Java stack can only interface with one client properly, so I am not sure what's the idea behind the newly created client.

Jörg

Dear Expert,
Please let us know what is standard /best practice for below activities in SAP Support phase?
Who will responsible for Authorization Matrix?
Who will be first point of contact (Functional / Basis Consultant) to SAP user for any new authorization request?
Who will do the testing & impact analysis of new authorization?
If we provide any new SAP transaction code to the end user & user is facing authorization object issue then who will be first point of contact for user Functional / Basis Consultant?
Also who will be fist point of contact (Functional / Basis Consultant) for new User ID creation request?
In our current practice Functional consultant is dealing with end user. He is taking requirement of new Report/Transaction access request & doing analysis. Then he is taking approval from BPO & based on BPO approval Functional consultant is providing training to end user. When end user is accepted requested report requirement in standard report or transaction data process then Functional consultant is sending request to Basis consultant along with authorization parameters like Role, Organization parameters, type of activity (create/change/display/delete) etc.
Our Basis consultant is not agreeing for this process & he want to directly deal with end user for all activities & he will take help of Functional consultant if required.
Sorry friends this is not technical discussion but it is create big dispute between our internal support team regarding who will be first point of contact for any authorization related issue?

Dear Aviya Paul,
1. Who will responsible for Authorization Matrix?
Authorization Matrix that define "what position may have access to which authorization/ role" shall be developed by User (Management), with support from BASIS. User is the one who have the authority to decide, while BASIS should help User in understanding the technical knowledge of access authorization.

Handoff stopped working after I created a new user space on Mac

Handoff was working between a iPad mini 2, a iPod touch and a Mac mini untill I created a new user on the Mac to use as my primary user. To attempt to repair the problem I have turned the 'Handoff'' switch, on the iOS devices and the checkbox on the Mac 'Allow handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices' on and off. I also changed the name on the old user account and used the original name on the new one. I checked to make sure that all devices were signed in to iCloud with the same Apple i.d. I also selected the same email address to be first in the 'you can be reached by FaceTime at:' field. Continuity seems to be working; If I make a note on one device it is immediately reflected on the others. I would sure like to see it all working again.

If you have deleted the account all the data are removed. Nevertheless, to be sure have a look at your /Users folder to see whether there's a folder named Deleted Users. Normally the home folder of any deleted user is moved into that folder. So to remove everything completely you have to erase the previous user's home folder from Deleted Users.
But to speak frankly, I think there's absolutely nothing to worry about having more than one user account. I have multiple accounts on my machine and never experienced any problems so far. The core system of OS X is Unix and that's a _multiuser system by design_ ! It was created from the start with more than one user in mind. The files of each and every user are held strictly separate - the most obvious and straightforward consequence of that being the complex concept of permissions.
So if there are more than one users who work with the computer it is reasonable for the admin to create an account for each one!

HT4889 Can I merge the new migrated users files with the admin user on the new mac?

I used the migration assistant to transfer users, files, apps etc from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac. I had already set up the desktop with my name as the user. So, during transfer, it created a new user... So, I want the initial user and the new transfer user accounts to be merged. Is this possible? If not, does it matter?
Thanks.

It's possible by using the Shared folder to move items into and then into your admin account.
It can be messy. If it were me I'd do a factory reset and then do the migration in Setup Assistant.

CUP - Issue regarding creation of New SAP ID in CUP.

System : SAP GRC 5.3 SP 12..
We have requirement where in we need to design a workflow for creation of New SAP ID.
The Naming convention followed for SAP ID is FIRST LETTER of FIRST NAME and LAST NAME with maximum 8 characters.
For Eg
JOHN SMITH would have SAP ID as JSMITH
JERRY SMITH would have SAP ID as JSMITH01
The requirement here is when user fill the REQUEST FORM for NEW User ID there is field where in the requestor need to put the desired SAP ID,
Can a validation be set OR Logic be written so that user can put the SAP ID as per the naming convention..?
Also , any other solution as to how the situtation can be handled in CUP...
Regards.
Ajit

Hi Ajit,
Yes, you can maintain the user ID in the Active Directory. User id will be now auto populated in the request form, from Active Directory when we data Source is LDAP -Actice directory. So when user login to end user form to create a request, It's all information( user details + manager details ) will fetched from Active Directory.
It is not possible to change userid in later stage of approval in the request.
You can have security as final stage and guide them to create user manually as per naming convention.
Make auto provisioning OFF in CUP
Kind Regards,

Hello Daniela,
you try to perform an offline backup (which is a very uncommon way nowadays) and your SAP system is not down.
This is also described in the official documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/0d/d309664a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm
offline: Database backup in offline mode, in other words, the database is shut down during backup. When you select this parameter, BRBACKUP checks that no SAP system users are connected to the database. If an SAP System is active, the database is not shut down and BRBACKUP terminates the process with an error message (message number BR0068E).
Regards
Stefan
