Pros & Cons of Using SAP PI Interfaces for Report Generation

Hi Guru's
I have a Scenario's like
I have to generate a customized report in SAP with the main data's available in SAP ECC and some required data available in the Legacy System.
I want to know the Pros & cons of using SAP PI RFC/Proxy adapter interface to get the data from the legacy system for each time the user execute the report in SAP ECC.
Thanks in Advance

There are couple of "dimensions" to consider in your PI interface design. For exemple when you are running the sizing exercise (Since we are considering adding a net new interface), you will need to capture specific information about new interface.i.e. S/A, adapters, frequency, avg payload size. etc..Note that the last two attributes will be hard to size properly in this case since you can't predict how frequent the end user will run the report which will impact the latency time required to pull the data. Latency will affect the user experience as visible side affect and definitely the SLA for other interfaces running at the same time.
On the other hand, the data you are trying to retrieve from the legacy won't be used for transactional purpose but for the end user to pull KPIs from the system which can affect ECC as well. You may end up doing lot hot fixes for your report (Assuming that the report is a medium complexity code)
There are other factors to consider but let's consider these are the major one.
Cheers,

Using socket or CGI for report generation

I have a 100+ c executables(.exe) which accepts arguments and will generate report.These executables lies in a linux server. Through my web application, based on the functionality i need to invoke these .exe and have to generate the report.
I am using JSF/servlet to generate the query string(i.e. exe name with its relevant parameters).
I have two option to do the same.
1. Through socket programming send the request from client(JSP) to linux server that accepts the input and it process the request and send the report back.
2. Send the request from client web browser(JSP) running in JBOSS to the apache web server via CGI and it execute the exe and generate the report.
could you let me know which is the efficient way of generating the report. If there is any other option let me know.

It's more that there is no disadvantage in your case. The usual objection to CGI (and indeed one reason why we have servlet containers at all) is that you have to start a new process per request, but you have that problem anyway because of your hundreds of C programs.

PRO & Cons of using treasury management

Hi,
I am trying to implement the treasury management, could someone tell me the PRO & Cons of using treasury management?
thanks,
Liang

Hi,
Based on the business requirement of the client you can decide upon using the Treasury module.If your client is into Banking or Investment field,then you can certainly go ahead with implementing Treasury as the daily treasury process within a company comprises a wide range of transactions, from determining the current liquidity based on bank account balances (cash position) and open receivables and payables (liquidity forecast), through to manually entering planned payment flows (advices) and carrying out cash concentration (the concentration of several bank account balances onto one target account).
The main aim is to
1)Ensure sufficient liquidity for all payment obligations that become due.
2)Ensure that the incoming and outgoing payment flows are optimally controlled and monitored.
For additional information on benefits of implementing treasury ,u can refer to the following link:

What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

Used Firefox for a long while. Bookmarks morphed to Xmarks, which in turn has been acquired twice. I continue to use the newer Xmarks. In process of setting up a new computer, found that Firefox has it's own bookmarks sync.
Like to keep things as simple as possible. Does Firefox sync do all that Xmarks does? What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

I am not in a business environment, just my home. So, I don't know your specific requirements. I operate a dual G5 xserve, a dual quad-core mac pro, 6+ Apple MacOSX computers of varying types and several other linux servers plus a couple of Windows machines. If it were me, I would get two mac pro's running MacOSX Server and use one for backup of the other. The xserve RAID is too expensive from my point of view. I copy data from the xserve to several MacOSX computers with firewire drives for my backup and I have every computer on a ups. (I am assuming that they will not all fail at once!
I run Tiger servers and would suggest that you significantly test Leopard before committing to it.
Hope that helps.

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

It's almost impossible. The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that. Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15. In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum. I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

Using one Message Interface for all mappings

Hi Folks,
I am using a BPM in which i m getting a file from file system which have system ID in it.
I am having three send Synchronous step following that.
What i need is to use the Message interface for file to be used for receiver determination based on system id in case of Synchronous interfaces.
DO i need to include this File msg. interface in each mapping, if i do so will it be possible to send req. and get response for synchronous call.
OR is there any way to to use the file msg. interface for each mapping.
we are on SP17,I also tried Extended mapping but i am having SYNCHRONOUS send steps.
Plz help me out
Sachin

<i>1. You receiver a file in your BPM . This has a field called SYSTEM ID?
2. On the basis of the System ID field you need to determine the Receiver to which the Synchronous Request message has to be sent?</i>
Sorry for that...because I was confused with jai's ans.. that's why said like that
<b>You are absolutely correct</b>
This is what i want to do.
i can't use switch step here. my BPM looks like this
RecFile->sync send->transformation1->transformation2->sync send2->transformation3->BLOCK
in BLOCK
Sync Send3->transformation4 and so on...
I am using three different Sync ABS Interface for each Sync send steps.
In receiver determination i want to get the data from respective R/3 system based on system ID i.e. logical system in File MI.
Say if it T90CLNT90 then get data from BS_SAPR3_4.6 else from BS_4.7

I have used SAP doc mgmt for years. We copied a client and now when I configure a Class to my DMS DIR and go to CV01n Additional Data NONE of the characteristic entry boxes show up. Additional Data is blank.

I have used SAP doc mgmt for years. We copied a client and now when I configure a Class to my DMS DIR and go to CV01n Additional Data NONE of the characteristic entry boxes show up. Additional Data is blank.
It appears there must be some high level setting missing in the client. I have checked all authorizations and cannot find a difference between this client and all of the other clients we have. Only this one client does not show the class characteristics in the Additional Data tab.
Any ideas of why this standard function is not working). It does not matter which DIR I config the 017 class to, nothing shows on Additional Data.

Hi,
The issue is resolved. We are working in a sandbox with Class configuration on a DMS issue related to standard class 017. There are no standard settings in SPRO - Cross-Application Components | Maintain Object Types and Class Types | for the object type DRAW that will allow "auto-populating" characteristic values as we do with VC class 300.
For whatever reason DRAW and class 017 are not configured by SAP in the same manner as class 300 for example.
We made a config entry for DRAW Class 017 VBAP. Let's just say the system did not like that.
We are exploring other options.

Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

Hi SAP Experts,
We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
Please give your valuable inputs,
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

Help needed for report generation using java technologies

May i get some idea about report generation api available. some report generation tools that can be downloadble. can you please suggest how to use scheduling the printers or report generation by scheduling.

e.g. for one of my school project which generate reconciliation report (banking project) we add in a letterheader and the rest of the information presented below.
but there is some problem here.
either you "catch" no. x row where the printing will be trancated then prevented it from trancated by formatting your pages such that data will not be printed in that region.

LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!

SAP PI Interface for Multiple Bapi

hi,
i need to expose 2 Bapi (Bapi A and Bapi B) using SAP PI 7.0 using single PI Interface / webservice.
3rd party --> SAP PI -->SAP ECC6.
for first option, i can create new Bapi C and include Bapi A & B new Bapi C. then only expose BAPI C in SAP PI.
for 2nd Option, i want to import BAPI A & B into SAP PI and used SAP PI capability to run BAPI A & B in sequence.
if i want to go for 2nd option (just use existing BAPI A & B), how to implement the steps to make the bapi can execute in sequence? any link tutorial wil be help me a lot.

Hi Hashim,
try to implement Stefan approach or even you can try below appraoch,
call BAPI A using SAP PI, then cal BAPI B within BAPI A logic, here you need to import only BAPI A in to PI system.
better to take help from ABAPer, he will help you on the same.

Oracle Best Practices Discussion Pros/Cons of using Synonyms

Please share your experience given the Pros/Cons of Developing Enterprise Database Applications using public and private Synonyms.
My recommendation to developers on my team is to avoid using Public Synonyms in their code and instead Fully Qualify the database object by schema owner.
Pros: When you drop a schema, you do not drop the public synonyms that they created. Therefore if you have to use synonym, make it private and not public.
Please share your experience!

Well I rarely use public synonyms and that only case of db links. For example, I have a scenario, in which I have hooked up a MS SQLSERVER database with Oracle database through Heterogenous Services. I am accessing the SQLSERVER table in real time, through HS, in Oracle in real time, and then from this Oracle environment I have created db links to many other interested databases. In those interested database, I have created public synonyms over those dblinks.
It's so transparent for the interested databases. But I have documented this whole configuration in great detail for any upcoming DBA, just in case I leave, or expire or anything. Sounds interesting - this might be worth 'cleaning' and publishing to OTN's Articles.

Using SAP Query Extractor for GLPCA

Hi, We are considering to use SAP Query to extract GLPCA data so that we can retrieve some additional information. We are doing this because we need to check BSEG for a Material Number and replace Material in GLPCA it if it's different than the one in GLPCA.
How can the SAP Query be used to perform the required delta? Example: using CPUDATE and Time?
Any help with this is greatly apprectiated.
Thanks,

Decided not to use SAP Query.
