There are many new functionalities available in this version.
Earlier version can be accessed from SAP GUI, but the latest one can be accessed from Portal/NWBC.
DMS side many notes have to be applied as you will be instaling EHP4.0 as part of the upgrade.
ECM side some standard reports are missing in PLM 7.0, which were available in ECC6.0.

Error - Update Product Data in Solution Manager

Hello,
We are currently downloading the Enhancement Package 4 in SOLMAN via Maintenance Optimizer, however, after choosing the Technical Usages in step 2.1, it shows an error in step 2.2 (Select OS/DB Dependent Files):
Error : Update Product Data in Solution Manager
Has anyone encountered the same problem? Would it be fine to continue on the next step after selecting the files which you need for your operating system-database combination.
Any information is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Jaypee,
Check guide How-To Install EHP4- A practical guide. Solution of this problem is documented there. you can download it from http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp
Extract from this guide for this problem:
Make sure that you update the product data in SAP Solution Manager. This is described in SAP Note 1277035 which is referenced from the collective SAP Note 1122966. If you do not update the product data, you might get an error message after the stack calculation. The message text explains the problem in more detail.
Thanks

Batch management - Shelf life and Production date

Hi All,
I am working with batch management where i did all the setting of characterestics, Batch class and neccessary settings. i am working with three characterestics shelf life expiration, production date and last goods reciept.
I have to active shelf life and production date in Migo screen so that at the time of recieving my characterestics can store data. kindly help in customizing setting
Thank you in advance
Majid

Hi,
You need to activate shelf life expiration check in T.Code OMJ5 for movement type 101 and also plant.
This will activates the entry of Shelf Life expiration/Production Date at the time of goods receipt.
If you are using std. SAP Characteristic (LOBM) for Manufacturing Date,Best Before Date and Goods Receipt Date then the value of this characteristic will updates automatically in Batch ,depends on your goods receipt data.

Governance and Data Management

Hello,
We need to know about governance and data management, from this week I am working as master data coordinator in Empresas Polar (Mass Consumer Products Industry), where the role of this function is to assure the creation and maintenance of the master data, as initial activities we are raising statistics to know the most important information of the master data in all SAP modules, and the idea is across own developments in R/3, Portal, Workflow and Tools that exist on the market to simplify Update of the information on the part of the user, we know that in SAP the information is created in different views or transactions, which makes very difficult the opportune update of the data.
I am interested to know about MDM or any tool/application which eolud help us,
I appreciate your help,
Thanks

Hi torres,
The MDM system for master data management and single-source cross-media catalog publishing does more than just database management, asset management, or even database publishing.It uses an industry-standard SQL-based DBMS as a u201Ccontaineru201D for the repository database. But then it goes much further to implement an elegant and seamless combination of many different technologies,concepts, and minute details to create a comprehensive solution to an
age-old problem.Many of the features incorporated into the MDM system are unique.
ADVANTAGES
End-to-end solution. The MDM system provide an end-to-end
solution that automates the entire process of managing master data from start to finish, including bulk data import, centralized master data management, and published output to a variety of media.
u2022 Database-driven system. MDM layers a thick shell of functionality on top of a powerful SQL-based DBMS so that the MDM system is fully scalable and the master data is fully accessible to other SQLbased applications and tools.
u2022 Large capacity. The MDM system efficiently manages master data repositories containing up to millions of records.
u2022 Superior performance. MDM breaks through SQL performance
bottlenecks to deliver blazingly fast performance that is measured in milliseconds rather than seconds and is literally 100u20131000 times that of a SQL DBMS alone. No other system on the market today delivers comparable performance.
u2022 Powerful search and retrieval. All of the MDM modules include
powerful search and retrieval capabilities, so that an entire repository of thousands or millions of items can be easily searched and any item or group of items located in a matter of seconds.
u2022 Cross-media publishing. The MDM system is the only one on the market today that includes tightly integrated functionality for both electronic and printed output, for Web, CD-ROM, and paper output from a single MDM repository.

Production Date in QM 10-17

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why don´t the QM 10 to 17 reports give me the possibility to filter information about QM notifications based on the production date (VIQMEL PRODDAT), theres no filter available regarding this field.
Is there any solution to solve this problem?
the column PRODDAT in the table VIQMEL (using transaction SE16) is ok and with the correct data, but it seems that the standard QM reports don´t manage to transfer this information.

Hi ,
In users profile own data , System - user profile - own date , in the default tab you can change the values of the same .
Else if you have authorizations then you can use the T code SU01 to make the changes in defaults tab.
Select the format in which you intend to enter the data , please remeber that in case of batch management you need to give - date/month/year - you simply cant give month and year .
Hope this helps .

Data Manager : SQL Update Error

HI Gurus,
In Data Manager,
we are trying to execute assignment on 900 records at once, assignment working fine when we split it in to 300 inbatch, but it gives assignment execution failed : SQL Update error, while we execute on 900 records in a streach. we are wondering what causes this error when it is executed more than 400 records. please through some lights on this.
Note: Assignment got one IF conditon , IF (expression,value), here expression got <conditon1> OR <condition2> OR <condition3>...... OR <Consition35>
Thanks in advace

Hi,
I feel you are getting this error because the assignment which you are trying to execute is little complex, and database does not have sufficient resources at that point to execute the SQL statement. I feel, this will be happening on irregular basis.
Please check below document for more details about cause and actions (page no 210)

Data creation in data manager vs. ERP transaction

Hi experts,
I have a general question on working with MDM: When I use MDM as central data management tool then I create and change the whole data within MDM Data Manager or maybe in MDM iViews in EP. Doing that way I will loose a lot of positive aspects I had doing this in ERP formerly even when using business content.
For example:
- no process logic exists (which I had in ERP dynpros in the code): no preconfigured assignments, validations, relationships, etc.
- I have to know all relevant tables where I have to do my entries
- no standard searches for typical problems
- all roles and authorizations have to be created on my own (except standard roles like Admin, Data Expert, etc.), there is no possibility to transfer authorizations from ERP to MDM (authorizations can be very complex)
- you need more (expert) know-how to maintain data (which is also a job of business departments)
- etc.
So a change to central master data management means a step backwards from a dynpro controlled input GUI to a database frontend with only rudimental features and loosing a lot of functionality that was build within a lot of years.
Is this right or did I miss something important? I think loosing all this functionality can be a cause for resistance against introduction of MDM central data management in companys.
Thanks for your answers. Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Hi BD,
CMDM is one of the later stages in using MDM effectively.Before moving to a CMDM scenario it is necessary that ground base is set up.
- One goes for a CMDM scenario once all the one time data(exisiting data) is already cleansed.So firstly you need to extract all the possible high risk duplicates existing data from the ERP sytem into MDM ,run the matching merging strategies on them and then maintain the consistent data in MDM.Once this step is completed only then it makes sense to go for the creation of new data centrally through MDM.
- Just like in ECC when a user creates a new material for instance.He has to go through all the views and enter in all the required and optional fields value.In the same way this same scenario can be replicated in MDM by creting a repository with all the fields that one needs to enter while creating a new material. and by using MDM Validations we can simulate the same requirement of mandatory as in ECC.
- If you go for a Business content repository for Material,Vendor,Product etc you will have all the ready to use Roles with authorizations so its no a much of rework.
- Standard searches amy not be available in MDM but one can always desig his/her own search based on the customer requirement and MDM searches are very easy to use and also very dynamic.
I do agree that SAP MDM may not be a fully grown tool at this point of time but with the SAP MDM 7.1 vs most of these drawbacks will be addressed. and besides although ECC can do most of the Master data related work it is not a dedicated system for that purpose and will therefore have an influence on the performance and time involved aspects.
Hope It Helped,
Kindly Reward Points if found useful
Thanks & Regards

BPC NW 10.0 - Data Manager Prompt changing from SELECTINPUT to SELECT cleared values

Dear BPC Experts,
We recently went from SP13 patch 4 to SP19 patch 1. When we made changes in the PROMPT values in the Data Manager Organize>Package>Modify Script>PROMPT, we experienced different behavior switching from SELECTINPUT to SELECT in our development system than we did in our production environment. In development, when we changed the value from SELECTINPUT to SELECT, the values entered for Variable name such as %SELECTION% in Property1 and "Select the members to CLEAR" in Property2, and %DIMS% remained. However, when we changed from SELECTINPUT to SELECT in production system, the values for Variable Names and Properties were cleared out. Does anyone know why in our developmet system values were kept but not in our production system during this type of activity? I would like to understand the two different behaviors and what controlled it. We prefer not to have the values for Properties clear.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Vadim,
Excellent point, I should have included images as that likely would have shown this odd behavior.
When I made the changes in our development system to a package to switch from SELECTINPUT to SELECT the values outlined in the image below were retained for Varialbe Name, Property 2, and Property 3 after we applied the SP19 patch 1.
When I made the same change in our system to a package in our production system after we applied the SP19 patch 1, the values for Varialbe Name, Property 2, and Property 3 were cleared per the image below. The odd thing is that initially it looked like the values stayed. It was only after you saved and went back in did you see that the values were gone.
Any help in understanding this behavior change would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lisa

Copying the data manager package

HI All,
In BPC, I need the contents and packages of my data manager package to be copied from my production server to Testing server.(I want the entire contents in there, to be copied.)
Can anyone suggest me, how can i do that??

Hi,
I meant that you need to go the path:
<installation folder>\Data\Wefolders\appsetname\appname\datamanager\packagefiles
You will be able to see your package file, here. You can copy it and then paste it on the same path in the target server.
Hope this helps.

You comment regarding 'changing the nature of authorisations' is an interesting one because as you have already pointed out and is consistent with the way the product(s) work; you cannot change any more than your SAP credentials allow you to change.
All that said, quite rightly; the idea of being able to perform mass changes on ANYTHING in your SAP system of record should not be taken lightly and due diligence should be applied in determining who should have such tools and under what circumstances they should be used. Design and testing in QA or pre-production environments is an absolute must and this discipline should be applied with the same level of enthusiasm and commitment as you would any objects that you develop for productive use even if they are LSMW or regular BDC's.
The product supports a controlled release approach if implemented in a particular way, using centralised license management and workflow controls around the scripts and data templates and workbooks. Scripts can be restricted to particular SAP instances, particular volumes of data, particular transactions, particular times of day/week/month for execution.
Additionally you have two types of licenses, author/developer licenses and runner-only licenses. This avoids you landing up in a situation where inexperienced users can create their own automation objects, in such circumstances these users would typically only be given a runner license.
Some customers don't choose to use this governance and compliance approach though and choose to buy only the authoring tools, accordingly they essentially leave the door open to the creation of potentially harmful objects.
Again exhaustive testing is always recommended. WIth over 1,000 customers globally there are plenty of ASUG member references and you should actually be able to get referrals to existing customers who can tell you how they have introduced and manage controls around the use of the products.

Production date in inbound delivery in batch split

Hi,
I have a issue with production date update in inbound delivery.
I have created a inbound delivery for 10 PC. The inbound delivery has only one line item and there are no batch details on it. As soon as the inbound delivery is created a message is sent to the 3PL . Once the 3PL receives the goods from vendor he send us a message with the batch details. Say the 3PL has received multiple batches from the vendor. So he send us back an SHPCON message with multiple batch details. That is batch A with QTY 6 and batch B with QTY 4. He also send us the production date for each batch via the shpcon idoc. say batch A has production date as 10.02.2011 and batch B has production date as 21.03.2011.
The IDOC is created successfully in our system and the inbound delivery is also updated correctly with the batch split details with correct QTY. That is line item 10 has batch split line items 900001 with batch as A and QTY as 6 and line item 900002 with batch as B and QTY as 4. The issue is only with updation of date of production for each of the above batch. Both batch A & B are updated with date of production as 21.03.2011. Instead of batch A being updated with date of production as 10.02.2011 it is updated with the batch B date of production. I checked in the idoc. In the idoc each batch has correct production date. only when updating the inbound delivery it has updated wrongly.. Has any one come across similar kind of situation. ? How did u manage it?
Ram

I found out the issue and the approriate changes has been made in the message handling

Tecra Battery Information Tool - Cycles and Production Date

Hi everybody,
I am searching for a Battery Tool, which reads out the whole Battery information. Aspecially the Production Date, First used Date and charging cycles. Is there a tool available by Toshiba or another Freeware tool? Is there another possibility to read that information?
Generally, does the Toshiba Battery capture this information? I only know the possibility to watch all this information from IBM, they use the BatteryMaximiser, which shows all the info. I have been searching the web but did not find anything. Please help.
best regards
Matty

Hi,
I need the information for an exact classification of the Battery. You do not get enough information about the Battery condition in the normal Power Management or in the Power Saver. There are tools which show the original and the available Battery capacity, but it is not possible to say anything about the remaining lifetime of the Battyery. So the information is quite important for me.
best regards
Matty
