OPatch documentation question

Hey everyone,
I was hoping that someone could provide an answer to my question. When you are reading an OPatch file, what does this following line specify?
Interim patches (3) :
Patch 99***11 : applied on Sat Mar 03 10:12:00 PST 2012
Unique Patch ID: 13561791
Created on 15 Jun 2011, 07:51:14 hrs PST8PDT <-------------------------
Bugs fixed:
99***11
Does this "created on" line relate to when the specific interim patch was initially released by Oracle?
Thanks again!
-Omar

Omar,

BW Authorization Error documentation Question

Hi,
I have a question, may be you can help in this:
Q: In BW Analyzer if we get the following authorization error for some reason:
->Authorization Check
You do not have authorization for Add or Create
There is a Details tab to see the authorization error details. I need to add documentation for the naming conventions the Users need to use so that it's easy for Users to see what is the reason for the error and what naming convention do they need to use to prevent the error.
Right now, details tab shows "No Documentation Available". How can I add documentation here? Where do I add this documentation and how do I link it to the Authorization Error Message's Details tab?
I tried running RSRTRACE to see which function modules/programs get called but that does not help. It gives me the following two function modules which are being called when I get the error message and when I click the details tab:
RZX0_MESSAGES_GET
RZX0_MESSAGE_H_GET
and surprisingly when I try to look them up in SE37 they do not exist What can be the reason for this?
Is there a system transaction, like .. SM02, in BW where we can define or create authorization error message documentation for BEx Analyzer? How do I link it to the Authorization Error message?
Your help or advise will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Regards,
Mandeep Virk

It can be done via SE91.
Message Class is R9 and message number is 108
We have to define the Long Text and save it under the RSZ class.
It works for me now.
Thanks,
Mandeep

Documentation question...

Hi all,
While attending a class in Newtown an instructor suggested there is documentation available for SAP authored function modules. So, my question is this...I'm using function module md_mrp_list_api and I'm interested in reading some documentation...where or from who would I request such a thing if it actually existed?
thanks,
Mat

Hi,
Not all Function modules will have the Documentation.
SAP Generally provides documentation for those function modules which are meant for Generic services.
Function modules which have some Functional significane may or may not have the documentation.
You can check for function module documention in Tcode Se37.

Sesh

Migration Documentation question

Hi,
We are trying to follow the "How To Migrate from SAP Enterprise Portal 5.0 SP6 to SAP NetWeaver '04" documentation, but have questions and open OSS messages.
Does anyone have a set of documentation and or notes that can be followed to a completion of the migration? Any additional notes that may not be in the documentation or at least clear in the documentation?
Open questions:
1. Question on connectivity to the EP5 system from NW04 for migration; In the above mentioned documentation on page 42 in the section 3.2.8 "Defining and Configuring a System for EP5" number 4, it asks for an EP50 Server Port. Is this the default port 80 or is there a way to determine which port to use for this entry?
2. Page not displayed on service configuration; We have our NW04 SP14 Portal build working with Windows Integrated Authentication and our corporate LDAP for Single Sign On with our network ID's. When we login
to the Portal with our network id, we get "Page cannot be displayed" when navigating to System Administration-> System Configuration-> Service Configuration to add the migration key. If we login as Administrator, we can see the Service Configuration page and drill down
to applications - >UpgraderService.
Why does this page not render with our network id's as our network id's have the same roles as Administrator?
Any thoughts on the above questions and any help with better documentation will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rick

Thanks, I appreciate your input!

Small noobie documentation question

For something like...
public static void main(String[] args)
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("PLEASE USE NUMBERS ONLY!!");
        System.out.print("Enter the first digit: ");
        double aFirst = in.nextDouble();do I have to put
* (explination)
Do I have to put anything for the @ part? Like @param or something like that?
I know this question might not make sense... but I don't know how to explain it correctly.

If you are just talking about a block quote in the beginning of your program, you don't have to, but usually people put the @ sign in front of the authors name and the name of the program. But, its all up to you whether you use, it wont effect your program.No, im talking about how (example)
     * Computes the sum of the two digits
     * @return the value of the sum
    public double getSum()
        return sum;

but for the System.out.println, is there one where i have to do @ (something...)

10.1.0.4 upgrade documentation question

Hi:
In the accompanying documentation (section 5.1.7) it says, "If any database uses Java Virtual Machine or Oracle interMedia, then install the Oracle Database 10g Products installation type from the ... Companion CD before installing the 10.1.0.4 patch".
What does that mean? What is the "installation type"? I assume since I already have the interMedia stuff running on a 10.x.x. database I have already loaded whatever I need from the companion CD. Is this saying to do any upgrades from the 10.1.0.4 companion CD section before applying the database patches or what?
Thanks.
MJG

Here's what I did. (Windows XP server)
* Installed Oracle 10.1.0.2
* Installed 10.1.0.2. Companion CD
* Installed "10g Products" from the 10.1.0.2 companion CD
* Installed 10.1.0.4 DB patch
* Installed 10.1.0.4 Companion CD patch.
Now I am in the "post processing" phase, trying to do a
STARTUP UPGRADE
but I get an error "SP2-0714: invalid combination of STARTUP options"
Does anyone know what's behind this? Did I need to run the catpatch.sql before installing the companion CD parts of the 10.1.0.4 patch?

Included documentation question

I recently purchased an iPad Air 2 and am wondering what documentation is supposed to be included. There is one piece of documentation entirely in Spanish and there is no English counterpart included.
What I received:
Three iPad Air cards - English, French, Spanish
Three iPad info sheets - English, French, Spanish
A booklet entirely in Spanish - no English?
Regulatory compliance document - appears to be only for Mexico.
Apple stickers.
Yes, I'm very anal about this.

There is not any. The Key Code is embedded in the BIOS. If you install Windows 8.1 from an OEM disk it will self-activate based on the BIOS. If you want to see the Code and have it physically available the current version of Magical Jelly Bean will extract the Key Code from Windows 8.1:

Formula/KPI Documentation Question

Hi, I have a report where I am reporting on a KPI that is an average number of events occuring within a specific month. This average is calculated off of a number of other smaller calculations. I would like to document this KPI and allow the user to see the business definition of it. All of my formulas are local and I don't see a place to attach documenation to the formula. How can I do this or should I take a different approach?
Thanks!

The lastest version of Optach is 11.1.0.0.0, the version you had is way too old. OPatch has some syntax changes among the versions so some version might recognize an argument some don't.
You are still recommended to upgrade to lastest OPatch version.

My question : After reading the below text, I download the zip file of the OPATCH tool, I unzip the file under oracle home. When unzipping the file, it created another directory under orache home.
But how can I do next to upgrate my oracle OPATCH from the unzipped file resulted?

Patch Details
Patch summary:
README file for OPatch(10.2.0.1.4), the Oracle Interim Patching Tool.
This patch installs the "OPatch" utility. OPatch is used for patching
Oracle software. If you have an older version of opatch it is strongly
recommended to back it up.
OPatch is Oracle's only supported method of installing Interim

How to install the utility:
To install this patch simply extract the file p4898608_10203_GENERIC.zip
