Perhaps a Name Change to 'BI in SAP NW2004s' Forum?

Now that SAP is referring to this BI 7.0, perhaps we could get a forum name change, e.g.
<b>BI in SAP NW 7.0 (2004s) </b>
This is how it is being referred to by SAP most of the time now and changing the forum name might help avoid confusion for any new folks that don't know about the 2004s history.

We could reduce the number of postings in another forum by changing the name from Exchange Infrastructure to Process Integration - in line with NW04s!
That'd confuse them!

SAP BW structure/table name change issue with BODS Jobs promotion

Dear All, One of my client has issue with promotion of BODS jobs from one environment to another. They move SAP BW projects/tables along with BODS jobs (separately) from DEV to QA to Prod.
In SAP-BW the structures and tables get a different postfix when they are transported to the next environment. The promotion in SAP-BW (transport) is an automated process and it is the BW deployment mechanism that causes the postfixes to change. As a result with the transport from Dev to QA in SAP-BW we end up with table name changes (be they only suffixes), but this does mean that when we deploy our Data Services jobs we immediately have to change them for the target environments.
Please let me know if someone has deployed some solution for this.
Thanks

This is an issue with SAP BW promotion process. SAP BASIS team should not turn on setting to suffix systemid with the table names during promotion.
Thanks,

Logical system name changes

All,
Has anyone faced a scenario where you need to change the logical name for any SAP system?
For instance:
System      Logical Name                                                    System      Logical name B
BW                      A                     system is pointing to            ECC                  B
ECC will be upgraded and system name will changed to C
Is that possible? If so do you forsee any issues? Can we switch ECC B to ECC C with no issues?
I appreciate any help.
Regards

InDesign CS4: File names change to string of numbers

Occasionally, one of our users will save an InDesign CS4 file, only to have the file name change. For example, a file originally named "#kwn25501.bcbsNM.indd" was saved as "#kwn25501.bc157-1223857848."
If the user is not aware that this has happened, things can go horribly, terribly wrong in our production environment. The "numbered" file may be missing key elements, or be somehow be corrupt in some fashion. In one case, this led us to having to reprint a job because the "numbered" file was missing a photo; somehow, that file was used (and perhaps renamed after the fact) to create the final output.
We use Macs running InDesign CS4 6.0.5. Some of our Macs are running Tiger 10.4.11, while others are running Leopard 10.5.8. The problem seems to related to the Leopard machines, although that is not 100 percent certain at this point. All of these Macs are bound to Active Directory and save files to a Windows 2003 server. I know Adobe recommends against working on files over a network, but perhaps there is an explanation for this file renaming aside from network issues.
Any light that can be shed on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Kevin Stauffer

Check to see if maybe your original filename is the problem.
You may need that particular name for a workflow reason, but some of the symbols in the middle of your filename are generally not a good idea. Especially working off of a server, file names should be ONLY alpha-numeric characters, no symbols, no periods (except for the file type) and only underscores or dashes to separate words, no spaces.
The reason is some of those symbols get picked up as machine language and all sorts of bad can happen as a result.

Vendor name Changes

What is the SAP standard process for a vendor that changes it's name? Do you create a new vendor? If you create a new vendor, how do you link the old vendor data?

I am familiar with XK02.
The problem we encounter was an auditor was making selections from an SAP report and selected a 2007 invoice from vendor ####### which displayed the name: "Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics". When the responsible A/P person looked in their Siemens file, they could not find the invoice. Someone remembered that this vendor was actually named Dade Behring Inc in 2007. (1) When is a "name change" really a new vendor account and (2) If a name change is not a new account, is there a field in the vendor master record where we could store the "old name" so that it would be visible to A/P but not appear in places where it should not.

AD Security Group name change not showing in Sharepoint 2010

Hi!
We have a Sharepoint 2010 Standard enviroment and are heading for a role-based identity-managment in our company. That's why we find it better to use AD Groups instead of Sharepoint Groups.
So we have over 1000 AD Security Groups groups that have been added to our Sharepoint Sites and our goal is to control every permission in Sharepoint from AD.
I have done all this with the combination of Excel and Powershell and it have worked great.
The problem i see in the long run is the name change of AD Security Groups. Sharepoint 2010 isn't showing the new name of the group.
Does anyone know of any workaround that can solve this problem. It's a bit of a disappointment that Microsoft haven't fixed this. The only information i think they should store in Sharepoint is the SID of the groups.
I was thinking of designing a powershell script that runs every night and updates the display name of the groups that do not match the AD display name.
Is there any other way?

As far as I know, and I'm not sure where to go from here without testing on my own...and I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that. Perhaps a configuration issue.
Have you tried removing the incorrectly named group and adding in the correctly named one?

Server name changed but old server name reflecting

Hi Experts,
Issue is In the SQL server name is changed.
When the user is logging on SAP old server name is appearing and in SAP 8.8 there is no option of change like in SAP 2005B and 2007B so no database is appearing on screen.
What should be done in such condition.
Thanks & Regards -
Mona.

In 8.8 you need to add and maintain servers through the license manager of the server tools. Open license manager settings and click the button on the bottom left (Configure Security). Enter your B1 site users details and then in the next screen you can define an additional server as well as remove the old one; I had the exact same issue a few days ago!

Remove 'name change' feature in AC 10 PSS section

I have configured AC 10 recently, while checking the password reset feature I found "name change" option in that section.
I found it strange, that users can change the name (sap user id) of themselves in SAP backend systems. I think users should only reset the passwords, and not be able to change their user id. As we are using SSO with other applications, changing the user id by users himself will be an issue.
Is it possible to remove or make the "name change" option invisible to the user.

Name change in header details

Dear All,
Could any one plz tell me how one employee's header name changes to other employee?
some times header change with name change also(0002 infotype) occurs.
Most of the cases will have data in 31 infotype but no user is using 31 infotype & 121 infotype.
P0001-ENAME = P0002-VORNA P0002-NACHN (Standard SAP Settings).
P0001-ENAME also one of the header fields which have been used for all infotypes.
Now for some employees, ENAME is not coming as VORNA NACHN. It is getting replaced by some existing employeeu2019s name.

The arguments' name change when I re-import the model

Hello
Some times, when I re-import Java bean model in developer studio (SAP NetWeaver 7.1 Composition Environment SP06 PAT0001), the arguments' name change to arg0, arg1u2026.
For example:
I have some method in the EJB model, such:
public String getCustomerName( String customerId);
Some times the reimport is ok, but some times the reimport changes the arguments' name, like:
public String getCustomerName( String arg0);
What are Iu2019m doing wrong?
Regards
Janeth

Hi everybody,
i have the same problem. i also tried to reimport different ejbs into different wd-projects. allways the same problem. and i didn't found a workaround for this.
i also deleted the model and made a complete new import. same result.
i also created a new fresh web-dynpro dc and created a new model there, also same result.
I assume that it maybee has something to do with an nwds-update i made last week (so between last model-import and new model-import).
does anybody has a solution for this so far?

Batch Classification error - re Customer name change

Dear all,
We have a problem with Batch classification for one customer who has had a name change.
Name of customer changed and search term changed in customer master.
The NEW search term then added as a 'customer suitability Value' into the Batch classification for material, plant and batches.
However when entering these batches onto the delivery note, SAP comes up with BATCH CLASSIFICATION ERROR.
IN order to resolve this, we have had to add the OLD customer suitability/Search term value into the Batch classification
This does not seem to be correct, is there some other change that we need to do ???
Please advise
Thanks
Tony

Hi
We put this to SAP via Service marketplace
and they kindly told us where our error was
We needed to update the new searchterm in transaction VCH3 - Batch search strategy
this involves SHip to, materials
when you hi-lite the grade and click on the selection criteria
The customer suitability in here , which is the search term in customer masterdata, had never ever been updated
problem resolved now

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

How to change the color of SAP screen?

Hi Frens,
I know it has nothing to do with SD Community, but still I am asking. Can anyone tell me "How to change the color of SAP screen?" It is needed especially when you are working on System Landscape including PRD, Qua & Dev. There are chances that you end up making a test case in PRD instead of Dev or Qua. To avoid that, different color of SAP screen may be very useful and safe.

We had a clone of SAP for testing
Only GUIXT solution was available for users to distinguish between real Prod & Clone as SID was same
Created 2 scripts n C:\guixt\scripts
saplsmtr_navigation.e0100.txt
Esession.txt
BOTH having identical code
if V[_ashost=10.3.3.18]
TitlePrefix "CLONE18"
TitleSuffix "(CLONE8)"
endif
if V[_ashost=10.3.3.25]
TitlePrefix "PROD25"
TitleSuffix "(PROD25)"
endif
After much research - this was only solution.
GUIXT will be around; like SAPSCRIPT & SMARTFORMS
despite the enticement of Adobe Forms!
After some time you may set GUIXT profile start window HIDDEN
This you do by clicking profile button of GUIXT menu
If you want to see GUIXT Window again
CMD.exe Dos prompt
cd C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui
guixt visible
