Package PIP Deployment to manage license costs

What deployment strategies have people applied to mitigate the cost of PIPs (core based licensing) e.g. has anyone established a cluster just for the licensed PIP so that they're not paying for more CPU allocation than is necessary; then any custom PIPs go into a separate cluster?
thanks

How to deploy configuration manager client package to a query based collection

Hi
I have created one OU based collection.Now i wants to deploy client package to this collection so that the client automatically get installed,whenever a new machine added to the OU and so on to the collection.
But the issue is with configuration manager client package deployment,as we can't deploy the default configuration package to the collection(Deploy option is grayed out). For this i created a new configuration manager client package and deployed this package
to the query based collection.
Now when a new machine added to this collection,the client did not appear to deploy on this machine. Please help

If you want all the devices in the OU to get the client, you can use a Computer Startup Script to deploy it. Everybody just uses Jason's since it does everything and is well documented.

Licensing cost: For SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 Upgrade

Hello,
I am planning to upgrade my SAP R/3 4.7 System to ECC 6.0.
I would like to know whether any additional Licensing cost is involved for this SAP software upgrade.
Also, I have three system landscape. Can you give me some pointers to SAP Upgrade Roadmap and Upgrade strategies for 3 system landscape upgrade?
Thanks.

Hi Nirav,
the maintenace cost will be the same as before.
the maintanance cost include the possibility
that if you pay the maintenace fee regularly you can always get the
newest software releadse and the support packages and kernel for it.

Automated packaging and deploying of WebCenter Spaces/Portal

Hey,
I'm using WebCenter PS5 (11.1.1.6) and was wondering if anyone has setup package and deployment scripts for use in Continuous Integration (CI) for Webcenter Portal and Spaces using Ant. From the documents online I can see that there is limited support for this:
WebCenter Portal
You can use the 'New...' wizard to generate an ant build which will build a .war for your Portal.jpr project. What I can't find is something that will generate an .ear for the entire .jws. Is there a way to do this through ant, wlst or other without doing a 'right-click' option in JDeveloper? It looks like the .ear generation adds a bit of extra stuff like the metadata archive and so couldn't fudge it through a normal <ear> task to wrap the .war.
WebCenter Spaces
So it looks like extending spaces requires quite a few different artifacts. The first being the extend.spaces.webapp.war, which is simple enough since the DesignWebCenterSpaces\WebCenterSpacesExtensionLibrary comes with an ant to do packaging and deployment. However it still leaves question marks for all the .ear files that contain Resources. It would seem you only have 2 choices here - right click deploy from JDeveloper or export as EAR from JDeveloper and then manually install. Are there any ojdeploy tasks etc for the individual spaces resources that could package and install into spaces?
It looks like the only thing I can really properly automate at the moment is the extend.spaces.webapp.war deployment, and all the rest I will have to generate an EAR from within JDeveloper. I really want to avoid generating from JDeveloper as that means you have to check-in archives into source control which isn't good practice.
Responses on this topic are next to none so I would really appreciate an answer if anyone has tried or done this.
Cheers,
Ross

So I managed to find a way to build the EAR using ant/ojdeploy for the WebCenter Portal Application. See the following text section which is found in the given link:
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/using-ojdeploy-and-ant-for-creating-adf.html
Entirely separately to generating ADF libraries, if you wish to use the ojdeploy utility to create an EAR via the workspace, you do this by dropping the project option leaving the workspace, profile and outputfile options. If you do this under JDev 11.1.1.2.0 specifically you'll see the error message "Missing <workspace>, <project> or <profile> parameter in <deploy> element", caused by a bug in the ojdeploy utility, of which there is a patch available.
So basically just drop the <ora:parameter name="project" value="${oracle.jdeveloper.project.name}"/> line in your ant script and it will use the .jws instead to build your project.

Deployment on managed server

Problem deploying app on managed server:
testEAR.ear is built using wlpackage ant task, but it still causes the exception
while deploying
on managed server:
Exception:weblogic.management.ApplicationException: Application testEAR is packaged
using
the WebLogic Split Development Directory structure. The Split Development Directory
structure
can only be used in development environments with a single WebLogic Server. If
you wish to
deploy this application to a separate managed server or cluster, use the wlpackage
ant task to
create an exploded or archived EAR.
build.xml part:
<taskdef name="wlpackage" classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.build.WLPackageTask"
classpathref="task.classpath"/>
<target name = "package" description = "Create exploded or arhived AER" depends
= "build">
<wlpackage srcdir="test" destdir="." toFile="testEAR.ear"/>
</target>
Ant doesn't alerts any errros.
What is the problem?

Can you show me the output of jar tvf testEAR.ear?
Also, please show me the Application snippet from your config.xml

SAP GRC Access Control - Compliance Calibrator - License Cost

Dear all,
I have some questions on Compliance Calibrator implementation.
1. Do we have to pay additional cost for the license to implement Compliance Calibrator?
2. Since SAP GRC 5.3 is just released, which one do you recommend? SAP GRC 5.2 or 5.3?
3. What would be the major difference between Compliance Calibrator in GRC 5.2 and 5.3?
Best regards,
Rolando

Hi Rolando-
1. Yes, there lies some license cost and the amount should not as much as taking SAP R/3 license. I am not sure of exact amount but its nominal as compared to other SAP products.
2. SAP always recommend for the latest version available and why not one would go for latest version if you are paying something for that.
Also, it depends on your existing R/3 version and its compatibility. In short run, you can choose per your existing versions but in long run everyone has to move to latest version. Say for example whoever is using SAP R/3 technology with whatever version, they all need to upgrade to ECC6.0 by 2011 with extension upto 2013. I am not sure of any such information about GRC AC though.
3. Some enhancement have been done with CC 5.3. Those features include-
1. Risk analysis for SAP Enterprise Portal and UME
2. BI integration for custom reporting
3. Reporting enhancement features include additional auditor, business manager and IT reports
4. SOD management by exception. Can be integrated with workflow.
5. Import/Export of configuration data
6. Migration scripts
7. Download and print capability on every report.
Some performance improvements-
1. Concurrent risk analysis.
2. batch mode risk analysis
3. Improved memory mgmnt etc.
Hope it gives you now some more visibility.
Cheers!

E Recruitment Usage (License costs)

We are planning to   set up E recruitment services ?     But the management would like to have an idea of the license costs associated with this .   So I would like to know the following in the case of production environment:
Is there a cost associated for activating and using this functionality ? I understand the E recruitment can be activated through SWF5 swiches.
Are there any other license fees to be borne , like say based on the number of users or employees...?
In the Development environment , I would like to know the following:
Is the company liable to pay license fees even in the case of testing and checking the functionality in TEst environment?
Regards,
Srivatsan

Hi Srs,
1/ There can be two approaches for installing SAP E-Recruitment:
     A: SAP E-Recruiting and SAP ERP run on same instance
     B: SAP E-Recruiting and SAP ERP run on different systems- preferred approach. However, includes additional cost of maintaining a server
In the Approach B- the master data is integrated using standard ALE.The info you came across must be referring to this approach.
2/ I haven't come across a scenario where licensing is done based on number of candidates/applicants. Please refer to SAP Buyer License Guide for further details..

Rahul

Cisco application networking manager license file - unable copy to server

Hi all
We tried all the options like ftp,tftp,scp,etc., to copy cisco application networking manager license file from my pc to its server which has CISCO ADE OS .But unable to copy .can anybody know correct method to copy ??
Thanks & Regards
Sanjeevi

Adrian,
In order to install the license you must have a license file on the ANM server and install it through the command line:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/application_networking_manager/4.1/installation/guide/IG_config.html#wpmkr1120937
No other way to do it.
License file can either be copied to the ANM file system, or you can create a new empty license file on it and copy paste the license file content.
If you have no access to the ANM server through CLI, then a workaround might be:
     - install a new VMWARE machine where you have CLI access.
     - install ANM on it
     - copy license (other you copy the file through any means or you create a file and edit by copy pasting the license file content)
     - install license with the command /opt/CSCOanm/bin/anm-license install /path/ANMxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.lic as described in the link above
     - save the VMware image
     - deploy the same VMWare image to the ESX where it has to be installed and where you have no access to CLI neither you can copy a file.
Hope this helps,
Domenico.

Deploy SQL Management Studio 2012 through SCCM

Hello,
Has anyone successfully deployed SQL Management Studio 2012 with SCCM?
A couple of specific questions:
- Which folder from the SQL Media is required to ensure that only Management Studio deploys (we would like to limit the size of the deployment Package)?
- What command line options do we need to use to install the Advanced version of Management Studio with all of the Tools and Books Online. I have found the following but there is not a clear distinction about what is required and what is optional:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for machine that has 2008 R2 Management Studio on it?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for a new installation of 2012 Management Studio?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Do I need to use /PID for the product key if I am only installing Management Studio?
Thank you,
Matt

Hello,
I had a couple of failed upgrades involving SSMS while testing on one of my laptops with a Hyper-V machine. I couldn’t blog about it because I couldn’t find the reason myself. I ended uninstalling the tools on SQL Server 2008 R2, and then proceeding with the
upgrade. Both issues occurred with RC0. I used Hyper-V snapshots to create restore points.
Besides that I had some issues enabling .NET Framework on Windos Server 8 using the GUI. However, enabling .NET Framework from the command prompt works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Minimizing license costs for multiple users

Hi all,
I am investigating having multiple users (from different companies) share access to 1 Business One client but have multiple databases (representing each company) connected to this one client. They would connect via Citrix, Terminal Server etc. and also via a portal interface from http://www.unitedplanet.com/en/sbo.
In this way the different companies (and their employees) could cut license costs by sharing the license costs of the "one" client installation. Does anyone knowledgeable about licenses know if this would work or have experience doing this? What about controlling which databases each user could select through roles and authorization. What about tracking what each user was doing in the system. Because if all users shared the same license would there be a way to trace what each user did in the system and better yet, control their authorizations?
Thanks!
Kw

Hi K Herb
Trying to get around SAP Business One licenses is not advisable. I would rather find a cheaper software package if a customer cannot afford SAP software. The licensing is central to all databases and your model would not work. Have you considered looking at the limited financial and limited logistic users which are far cheaper than a full professional license?
The most important part of each physical person having a user license is to control who posted what and when. If you used a single user code, this would be impossible as SAP Business One does not record MAC ID's, machine ID's, etc. of client connections. So to answer your question, this will be a problem and the "fraud" door would be wide open.
Some background on why you are investigating ways around licensing would help us better direct you.
Kind regards

Eurpean license costing double that of the US one

As I move away from fixed employment and develop myself as a freelancer, I have decided to go purchase the latest version of the CS package. Here-in lies the problem, in France a CS 4 Design Premium license costs $3530 compared to $1800 in the US, is this normal?
Why exactly are Adobe making us pay such a premium, especially for something which is digitally distributed? Does this not drive us to piracy? The cross Atlantic price delta on RRP for other products is nowhere near this high (IT hardware, video games (physical and direct download), iTunes store etc.. )
Finally, were I to buy a license in the US, would I be able to use it if I mark France as being my country when I activate the software?
I genuinely want to buy your software, but it's out of the question that I do-so when I am so grotesquely over-charged, I'm sure you can understand.
Looking forward to hearing back form you
Alex

I am in the same position and frankly pissed off!!! Everyone around me uses pirated software. I want to upgrade and pay Adobe the $$$$ but I ain't paying European rip off prices!
> Finally, were I to buy a license in the US, would I be able to use it > if I mark France as being my country when I activate the software?
I want to know as well. Has anyone upgraded to US CS4 recently using European English package? According to http://toolfarm.stores.yahoo.net/adobeproducts.html there should be no problem but I want confirmation from a third party.
I just want to activate my software register it and get on with my work without getting shafted for not being in USA!!!!

Licensing cost estimation for apex

We are in the process of developing a web app on apex and plan to deploy the same for our customer as a hosting service model.
In this regard, can someone guide us on the licensing costs and any related cost component ( fixed or variable components) for commercially deploying apex for a customer.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
APEX is 100% free (assuming you have a valid Oracle license), in other words you do not need to purchase any additional licenses for APEX.
Depending on your exact requirements you could even use Oracle XE, which is a free edition of the Oracle database, subject to some restrictions, which includes a preinstalled version of APEX.
There are also a number of hosting companies who specialise in hosting APEX applications, should you choose to not want to perform the hosting yourself.
There is a list of hosting companies available here -
http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/HostingExamples
In the interests of disclosure, I own one of those companies (Shellprompt Hosting), so feel free to contact me directly ([email protected]) if you wish to.

Managing item cost per warehouse.

Hello,
I have a client who recently migrated from SAP Business one 8.81 to 9.0 PL8. And now they want to manage items cost per warehouse.This is because although the cost and quantities are okay at company level, at warehouse level there are now some negative values as they have been in operation for over 3 years. In the setups, I found out that the manage item cost per warehouse check box settings was not ticked. How do i ensure that this check box is ticked and what procedures do i take to make this happen. The client has more than 2,000 items and about 30 warehouses.
Most of the recommendations in the discussion forum talk about creating a new database, After creating it, how do you go about it. what are the procedures involved?
Kind regards,
Maureen

Hi Maureen,
This setting one time setting and you can not change once Transaction is posted in System. Please also check below link.

Manage Item Cost per Warehouse

Previous posts have confirmed that it is not possible to change the Manage Item Cost per Warehouse option once any inventory transactions have been posted. One entry posted in Feb 2010 (below) even offered a link to other "Irreversible Ticks" (although that link is now broken). This limitation is required in order to preserve the relational integrity of the system, within its design architecture.
Manage item cost per warehouse
If a database has been in operation for several years with company-level costing, and business changes now force tracking costs by warehouse, I see no option other than creating a new database with the per-warehouse option, then loading items, inventory, GL, etc. Unfortunately, all history (GL transactions, document history, change log, etc.) is no longer available in that database.
Is anyone aware of SAP plans or tools to support any other alternatives to this kind of business change?
Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,
I am afraid creating a new database is your only option.
For old data, you may still keep access for certain reports. All open items has to be imported to new db. It is a kind of manual archiving. Your database performance will gain a lot though.
Thanks,
Gordon
