Help! CS3 Production Premium major issues in Vista.

I have been having a heck of a time re-installing CS3 Production Premium on my Windows Vista Home Premium computer (32 bit).
Here are the system stats:
Vista Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 1
Intel 8500 dual core processor (swapped out old 6400)
4 GB DDR 800
(new) 500 GB WD HDD
Nvidia 9600 GTS 512MB Video Card
McAfee Firewall/Viruscan running in place of Windows
DSL Internet
CS3 Was working great on this computer when it had the slower processor and a smaller HD (160 GB) but since that drive's death and subsequent replacement I have not been able to get a fully successful installation of CS3 to work on this computer. I have done multiple re-installs (format/install) of the OS, CS3 (install and uninstall), running the CleanCS3 script as suggested from tech support, ran under a new user, and install/running under a simplified bootup using msconfig.
CS3 installs successfully but when it comes to starting for the first time it takes about 10+ minutes to load the serial number screen, then hangs and is unable to activate. I then wait another 5-10 minutes for the "phone activation" screen to come up which succeeds.
Once activation is successful I can now boot into most of the CS3 programs with these results:
AE - Boots OK/Exits OK
PS - Boots OK/Exits Hang on exit (have to force quit)
IL - Boots OK/Exits Hang on exit (have to force quit)
EN - Hang on Boot while building media layer
FL - Boots OK/Exits OK
PR - Hang on Boot
SB - Boots OK/Exits OK
Please help anyone! I'm at wits end here as to why something that was working so well just days before on the same OS and Antivirus/Firewall system has since ceased to work properly. I am having to borrow the Macintosh from work in order to get work done using their copy of the CS3 suite.
Thanks in advance.

APO-DP/SNP production support issus

Hi sap gures
this is suresh in APO-DP/SNP production support,which kind of errors
we got regularly and how to troubleshoot and how to resolve it , please tell me .i am new for the
production support
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Dear Suresh,
In APO production support many issues can come.
The types of issues are as below:
1. Data issues ( this forms major %)
2. Application issues: Bug in APO application or related applciation,
3. Process issues: The process it self is not robust designed and issues are occuring
Within above categories, issues occur in SAP CIF ( core interface ) applciations , Jobs , process chains.
Issue Resolution:
For resolving the issues, first you will have study business processes implemented in the client's APO systems.
Secondly, you will have to understand APO functionlities and direct these to appropriate resources, if you can not solve.
You can first refer the issue database to check if similar issues occured earlier for a quick solution.
Otheriwise you can raise a query on SDN forum.
Good monirtoing of the background jobs, process chains, other interafces and promot action to rectify the job failures, helps to reduce the subsequent issues occuring.

Datta

Issues in production support

hi,
can any one send me documents related to Production support issues and how to fix them.
you can mail me at [email protected]
thanks,
ram.

Hi,
Normally the production support activities include
Scheduling
R/3 Job Monitoring
B/W Job Monitoring
Taking corrective action for failed data loads.
Working on some tickets with small changes in reports or in AWB objects.
The activities in a typical Production Support would be as follows:
1. Data Loading - could be using process chains or manual loads.
2. Resolving urgent user issues - helpline activities
3. Modifying BW reports as per the need of the user.
4. Creating aggregates in Prod system
5. Regression testing when version/patch upgrade is done.
6. Creating adhoc hierarchies.

frequent load failures during extractions and how to analyse them?
If these failures are related to Data, there might be data inconsistency in source system. Though we are handling properly in transfer rules. We can monitor these issues in T-code -> RSMO and PSA (failed records) and update.
If we are talking about whole extraction process, there might be issues of work process scheduling and IDoc transfer to target system from source system. These issues can be re-initiated by canceling that specific data load and ( usually by changing Request color from Yellow - > Red in RSMO). and restart the extraction.
As to frequent failures and errors , there is no fixed reason for the load to be fail , if you want it for the interview perspective I would answer it in this way.
a) Loads can be failed due to the invalid characters
b) Can be because of the deadlock in the system
c) Can be because of previous load failure , if the load is dependant on other loads
d) Can be because of erroneous records
e) Can be because of RFC connections
These are some of the reasons for the load failures.

Issue in production support

what r the major issues comes under data transfer in production?

hi,
Before you start the initial data transfer, you should have answered the following questions:
Which business objects are to be transferred?
The objects to be transferred depend on the business applications you are using. If you are using sales and distribution processing, for example, you should transfer the material master records as well as the sales master records .
How should the business objects be transferred?
Various techniques are available to load the data into the R/3.
To load data into your R/3 System you can use the standard techniques BAPIs, batch input or direct input:
BAPIs as interfaces
Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) are standardized programming interfaces that provide external access to R/3 business processes and data.
BAPIs are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as methods of SAP business objects or SAP interface types. BAPIs enable an object-oriented access to R/3 application components.
BAPIs are implemented and stored as RFC-enabled function modules in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.
For more information about BAPIs see the BAPI User Guide.
The data is transferred by calling a BAPI in the appropriate application.
When using BAPIs as interfaces to the SAP System, the Workbench uses the same technology as used with permanent data transfer via ALE between R/3 Systems or between R/3 Systems and non-SAP systems. The data to be loaded must be in IDoc format (see Analysing SAP Structures). The IDoc numbers in the file must be unique.
If, after a run has ended, there is an error file resulting from task type LOA , this can be used for restarting the data transfer, once the error has been removed.
Batch input
Batch input is a standard technique for transferring large sets of data into the R/3 System. Here the transaction flow is simulated and the data is transferred as if it were entered online. The advantage of this is that all relevant checks of the transaction are executed, thereby ensuring that the data is consistent.
The batch input process is divided into two steps:
The data transfer program creates a batch input session that contains all the relevant data.
The batch input session is processed and the data it contains is transferred into the R/3 System.
The Data Transfer Workbench executes step one only.
The majority of SAP standard data transfer programs use the batch input technique. The data transfer program creates a batch input session which is processed later. Batch input sessions can be processed in various ways:
In the foreground
In the background
During processing, with error display
You should process batch input sessions in the foreground or using the error display if you want to test the data transfer. If you want to execute the data transfer or test its performance, you should process the sessions in the background.
The process of transferring data for each object can be divided into the steps:
Preparing the Data Transfer
In the first step you extract the existing data from a source system into a file (see Program to Create Data Extraction).
Cleanup: Clean the data in this file if necessary (see Analysing and Cleaning Legacy Data and Analysing SAP Structures).
Conversion: You have to convert your extracted and cleaned data into the structures of the transfer file . To do this you should use the SAP's Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) (see Using LSM Workbench for the Conversion). You could also use a conversion program you have created yourself or one available on the market (see Creating Your Own Conversion Program.
Hope this is helpful, Do reward.

Hi All, can i have some production support issues with rootcasue and resolution for SAP TM?

Hi All, can i have some production support issues with rootcasue and resolution for SAP TM?
Thanks,
Sreenivas

Hi Sreenivas,
I would recommend that you read the Rules of Engagement and other documents in the Getting Started link (top right) before posting anymore. Your Discussion will most likely get reported as non-specific and get removed. If you have a specific problem with TM, please post it in a new thread with error messages, version and SPs installed, and how the error occurs and what you are trying to get TM to do.
There are a lot of resources available in the TM Overview page which can help, so start there and maybe also look at some of the MKS (Monday Knowledge Session) recordings which should also be listed. There are also a lot of experienced people who can help resolve issues your TM installation, but you need to provide enough information on the problems you are having. If you are just looking for information on past problems, do a Search or simply browse through past Discussions which are marked with a green Check (Correct Answer).

Send meLO's intutive diagram and some of errors in production support

<b>send me LO's intutive diagram and some of errors in production support and also process chain types and error</b>

Some Errors in Production support:
--Loading any of the missing master data attributes/texts - This would be done by scheduling the infopackages for the attributes/texts mentioned by the client.
--Create ADHOC hierarchies. - Create hierarchies in RSA1 for the info-object.
--Validating the data in Cubes/ODS. - By using the Validation reports or by comparing BW data with R/3.
--If any of the load runs into errors then resolve it. - Analyse the error and take suitable action.
--Add/remove fields in any of the master data/ODS/Cube. - Depends upon the requirement
--Datasource Enhancement.
--Create ADHOC reports. - Create some new reports based on the requirement of client

Hi,
In Payroll live support mostly user mistakes will be there, i.e. Postings of IT0014 might be done in IT0015 and also entering wrong details might be the reason. Whatever the issue in payroll please analyse the problem in your perview and try to give possible answer in you authorization, if unable contact SME's.
