Overview of SAP Install Base by Hardware and OS

Has anyone found, or happens to have a good .ppt or overview of SAP Install Base by OS? We're running a single instance on Sun Hardware, if we have the need to add additonal capacity, we plan to use RHEL. But overall, I am curious to see small company to large, how is the app tier database tier usage by hardware and OS platforms in terms of use cases.

Hi Al,
this is SAP confidential information, which we cannot share. However, most companies that start with Linux use it as application server while leaving the database on the *NIX system. After being comfortable with Linux, they usually more the database as well to harmonise their landscape. But, other customers stick with their *NIX system.
Actually, the underlying operating system doesn't matter much. It's your IT staff that has to operate it and therefore it's up to them.

SAP SSM 10.1, hardware and server required?

Hi
Please help me, what are the Hardware and Servers requirement for SAP SSM 10.1, can we use SAP BW 7.4 for this or any separate server or add on required??
Please also let me know weather cube builder and pas administration both can be used simultaneously for SSM??
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Sharma

Hello Rahul,
The 10.1 installation guide located on the Service Market Place > Release & Upgrade info > Installation & Upgrade Guides > Analytics > Enterprise Performance Management > Strategy Management > 10.1 lists the requirements. As well there is more information in the Product Availability Matrix, the link to that is in the install guide.
I would also recommend reviewing knowledge base articles 1954589 and 1979183.
As for using PAS and Cube Builder you can have both open but the limitations is that Cube Builder (along with Entry and Approval) use a model in Exclusive mode so you would not be able to work on a model in PAS at the same time you are working on it in cube builder.

Install base API error Material Transaction errored prior to the current tr

All,
I wrote a script to update the install base installed date using API - csi_item_instance_pub.update_item_instance.
Script updated many successfully, but, for many I am getting following error:
You have Material Transaction_id (12169418) errored Prior to the Current Transaction. You need to process that first.
You have Material Transaction_id (12020011) errored Prior to the Current Transaction. You need to process that first.
I tried to reprocess using API again, but, it does update.
Does any one encountered this before ? What's causing this issue and resolution for same ? Is there any data issue, if so where ?
Thanks much

Nagmohan,
Thanks for quick update...
I found that progam you mentioned 'Install Base Error Correction and Synchronization Program' and ran that with options Show instances - Y, Mode - C, Force all data fix - Y.
I don't see any change what so ever in the csi_txn_errors. Though, I didn't ran the update API program.
For testing purposes, I took one inventory_item_id from the csi_txn_errors table to see how many errors it got.
Inventory_item_id = 304076
Found there are 123 rows for this items. processed_flag D-20 ; E-103 ;
I am enclosing few of data from the table here.
I understand from you that we need to clean these errors by some means, so, we need to look at each one in sequential order, then, try to resolve that to get to next one and so on until all the errors cleared. Also, is that business users needs to do something over here to fix these errors ? Or each one have it's own resolution ?
Why did Install Base error correction program did not fix the issues ? Is the program expected to fix the error by correcting the issue internally ?
Thanks much,

Strategy/Value of Installed Base Hierarchies?

Hi - We are converting several thousand R/3 4x equipment master records into a new solution that will have both ECC6 and CRM 6.0 Service (as well as BI). We intend to load the equipment records in ECC and have them create ibases in CRM.
We've learned that you can create installed base hierarchies in CRM by assigning entire installed bases as components of other installed bases. We understand it can be done but also believe our business would have to bear the cost of creating and maintaining these hierarchies manually.
We've considered perhaps doing it only for important value customers or for other reasons but we are just not sure that the value of manually creating and maintaining IB hierarchies would outweigh the maintenance cost.
We were thinking that perhaps the hierarchy would be visible in analytical processing and could perhaps be used in customer level cost to serve analysis.
Have any of you developed Ibase strategies that included hierarchy development and can you share realities and outcomes?
Thanks in advance for your input, Roberto

Hi,
I think Installed base cannot be used in SALES scenario, hence even if you extend the sales quotation transaction type with service relevant business transaction category you cannot see the object tab in header and nor in item if you assign the item object type in ITEM CATEGORY.
Alternate solution is that you create a CUSTOMER FIELD with EEWB at header or item level in SALES QOUTATION TRANSACTION TYPE and link it with F4 help of installed base IBIB table and relevant Installed base tables in CRM.
Hope this helps. Please award Points if helpful

Relationship between Install base and functional location

Hi ,
I have been trying to establish way to find realtionship between Install base ( in PM module ) and fucntional locations. I have tried everything from Debugging to SQL trace to find out this realtionship but it does not surface. I am talking about the details that one gets in transaction IB52 under Functional Location and equpiment colum.There are function modules which look promising to read IBIN and IBIB tables but they always ask for HANDLE. I have not understood what this HANDLE is and how to use it. IS THERE WAY TO USE THIS FUNCTION MODULES TO READ IBASE AND ITS ASSOCIATED LINKS ?

Hi,
I don't think we can link a functional location to a sales order in standard sap.

Extract / Report of Installed Base and partners related to compoents

Hello,
we use SolMan 3.2 and want to create different reports about the installed base (ib) and the businesspartner related to the ib-components. How can we extract all data of the installed base or does already exist any SAP InfoSet? Are there any function modules or views? Unfortunately we haven't found any useful tables or views.
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
Please have a look at the function module BAPI_IBASE_GET_DETAIL and BAPI_IBASE_COMP_GET_DETAIL.
To play around the partners for the IBASE refer the function module:
CRM_IBASE_COMP_GET_PARTNER
CRM_IBASE_COMP_GOTO_PARTNER

How to link Sales Order with Service Contract and then with Install Base?

Hi Friends,
1) I would like to know the integeration process from sales order to Service Contract and then with Install Base.
2) I couldn't see anything enabled in Service Tab in Order Lines, its grayed out. Is there any set up/profile option to get it enabled?
3) How can we create AR invoice from Service Contract?
Please let me know if anyone has idea on this.
Thanks in Adavance,
Vara

Dear Sid,
Thanks for your promt response.
Let me explain you what I did.
1) I have booked a Bill Only sales order which has one order line, mentioned it as Service Item and provided the same details in Service Tab in Order lines. Now Line status is "Fulfilled"
2) Then Submitted Workflow Back Ground Process for OM Order Lines and it has created an AR Invoice and closed the line
3) And then submitted "Service Contracts Order Capture Integration Program" from SErvice Contracts Responsibility and it completed normal.
4) Now I went in to Launch Contracts Window and queried with the sales order but couldn't see any contract created
5) Then I went in to Reprocess Order Window and found this order shows an error message as "Referenced Product not present in the Installed Base", then I tried to reprocessed it, but the same error message again.
Here I have few doubts:
1) Are the AR invoice and Service Contract Billing Invoices same?
2) In above scenario AR Invoice has been created, I would like to do the billing from SErvice Contracts and need to create an Invoice in AR? how can I do that?
because as you explained in one of my questions earlier, A Single Invoice can be created for the whole duration of the contract. I want to do that and trying for the same.
3) Regarding the above error message, how can I resolve it and create the service contract against that Order?
Thank you so much for your helpful answers.

Vara

Thanks.

Did you check if the serial ABN656 is the parent and has child components under it? Check the below query for the same. Additionally you can also navigate to Oracle Installed Base Agent User responsibility, search for ABN656, click on the record, navigate to Configuration tab and see if this serial has any child components.
select *

,csi_item_instances cii
where cii.serial_number = 'ABN656'
and cii.instance_id = cir.object_id

Oracle Install Base - Where to find Queries related to parties and Loaction

Hi All,
Did anybody looked in Installed Base module, from where the party and location addresses are coming.
for example, when we select a party name and select GO button in the create item instance page , we will get some list of parties to select. From there we will select one party name.
I want in which jsp or java file the Query is located to retrieve all the parties here.
If anybody worked on this previously please help me.
Thanks in advance,

Portal Drive Error--re-install SAP NW Portal Drive software and try again

Dear Experts,
Could you please let me know if there is any permanent fix for
Portal Drive inconsistence behaviour.
1.We use NW2004s SPS 13.
2.After the installation of Portal Drive (version 4.5.6796 ) on an
desktop, windows is not stable and must be restart (cold start).
3. After the restart the problems still exists and only a
deinstallation resolves the problem.
4. Sometimes the problem occurs on connecting to a service,
sometimes on disconnecting.
Sometimes on starting windows, but before the load of Protal
Drive.
5."Presently we are getting error SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive is not installed or configured correctly.Please re-install SAP
NetWeaver Portal Drive software and try again"
6. If we uninstall it and reinstall, it is working fine.
I wanted to know if there is any permanent fix for this inconsistance in Portal drive.
Because i have received complaints from more than 9 users in this week.
Really thanks for helping me

Hey just a update, so even though apple said the HDD was fine because of the S.M.A.R.T status and it was been picked it would be fine I did not agree, took my iMac apart went out to the local computer shop picked up a cheap 1tb WD HDD and now the iMac is worked fine and smooth :-)
So now I know that was the issue I can order a nice new SSD for the iMac and use the new HDD I got in an external case :-) just incase anyone had the same issue that's the fix. Buy a new HDD or SSD

Hi, I would like to buy a power mac G4 quicksilver and install the latest hardware i.e. i5, SSD etc., is this possible?

Hi, I would like to buy a power mac G4 quicksilver and install the latest hardware i.e. i5, SSD etc., is this possible?

Intel i5 processor upgrade? No way, no how with the OEM PPC board.
The "Latest" hardware that can be used with the original G4 motherboard is imited to used 7445/7447/7448 3rd party processor upgrades (all obsolete), PCI expansion, AGP graphics (only used as all are obsolete), new IDE drives (capacity support dependant on model year) and PC133 memory.
SATA and SSD can be used, but only with PCI SATA controllers or the specially configured IDE modded SSD from OWC.
PCI controllers will get you about SATA 1 data rates. The adapted SSD on IDE won't get beyond 60 MB/s.
You could use the case and put a mini ITX or micro ATX board in to support the i5. Of course you could then run Windows 7. If you want to run OS X, discussion ends here and begins your use of Google and searching for "x86" and "Hackintosh".

Import data external system in PCUI SAP CRM install base Object fact sheet

I want to import data from third party system to Object fact sheet of install base. Please let me know the possible way to do so. Do I need to import data in BI and then to Object fact sheet?

Hi Pankaj,
If you have seperate BI server also alongwith the CRM system as back end.Then IU can create two seperate iviews of the two fact sheets hitting different servers e.g.if this is telecom perspective then In one pcui screen you can give two iviews one will fetch data from CRM server and populate 360 degree view of the customer whereas the BI iview will have multiple line level display of the last bills generated which we can see in detail also by hitting the same iview.
