Provisioning from HCM Staging Area to SAP Master question from a newbie

Hi
I have built a sandbox idM 7.2 PL3 (MS-SQL 2008/Windows 2003).
I've had a few stumbles on the way and my latest issue is that I have extracted the HCM data from our ERP (EHP5) HCM instance via LDAP to the VDS. The transfer completes successfully and the statistics on the HCM_Staging_Area indicate that the records have been added to this Identity Store.
The event handling on the Entity Type, MX_HCM_EMPLOYEE, has the task +189/Write HCM Employee To SAP Master_ configured. This Job (and it's tasks) is enabled. I can see the records (cn = "<SID666SAP 0000001>") with an objectclass of MX_HCM_EMPLOYEE.
Hiowever, nothing is logged in the System Log or Job Log to indicate that this task has been executed by the load. The SAP_Master is not updated.
I'm using the idM for SAP Landscape Configuration Guide (October 2011) for this installation.
Am I missing something? Is there a log file or trace that I can look at to try and figure out what is going on.
Thanks
Doug

Thanks for the reply.
This is my first attempt at setting up the idM so I've added what I've checked to answer your questions. I would be glad to hear of any additional checks I could perform.
Achim:
- Dispatcher is started: Yes, Windows Service is running (started).
- Dispatcher is configured to run standard and provisioning jobs: Yes, all jobs in Job tab of dispatcher are selected
- are there any entries within the provisioning queue: I believe so, On the statistics tab of the HCM_staging_area Identity store there are 513 entries provisioning queue size
- Jobs and Tasks are enabled, assigned to a dispatcher and configured to run as provisioning jobs: * Yes, the tasks are enabled and the schedule rule is set to provisioning for both tasks*
Bernd:
The exported entries are reaching the Identity Store. I can query the data and the statistics indicate this as well. The provisioning queue size increases as well. I have set the SAP_MASTER_IDS_ID to the appropriate id for SAP_Master (4) and HR_STAGING_AREA_IDS_ID to HCM_Staging_Area Identity Store (5).
Thankis again.

HCM Staging Area, New Users

Question for the good IDM people out there. I have an environment where HCM data is being handled by a VDS server to get into IDM. There's two IDS's in this environment, the main one and an HCM staging store. In the staging IDS, there's an entry type called MX_HCM_EMPLOYEE. Once a record of that entry type is entered into the system, there are add & modify tasks assigned to it that kick off the series of events that take that user out of the staging area and place them into the main IDS.
I cannot figure out how these entries are created in the first place. I don't see any scheduled jobs or anything that creates MX_HCM_EMPLOYEE entries. The only thing I can think of is that they are created directly on the backend by some outside force and, once it's there, IDM sees it and starts the process.
Has anyone else ever been in or seen a setup like this? Thanks in advance for any time and knowledge provided.

Browse the document titled "System Landscape Configuration Guide" first, it shows you how to connect the HCM to VDS/IdM. Once you know what to look for then it's pretty easy to figure out.
Open the VDS config with the VDS UI and you'll see the database connection from VDS to Id Store. The database URL is similar URL to the database as it is for the Java-runtime in MMC and the "scope" is the ID of the staging Id Store.
The two hour delay sounds strange. Does the task that moves the entries from staging to productive Id Store have a "delay before start" configured?

Sending PGP encrypted e-mails from HCM via SAP PO Secure Connectivity Add-On

Hi all,
we are having a requirement to send PGP encrypted e-mails from HCM. As SAP Standard does not support PGP encryption, we are considering the possibility of using the Secure Connectivity Add-on of SAP PO, targeting a Scenario like the below.
Has anyone dealt with similar scenario? I'm wondering on the Setup on HCM and the Receiver side in PO? Would such scenario work with a Proxy? What I mean is, is it possible to redirect the E-Mail message from HCM via Proxy to SAP PO?
Every feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas
SAPConnect is tied to the email protocol, so AFAIK there is no other choice besides mail adapter.
If you skip the SAPConnect part and use a proxy directly, you can generate an outbound proxy (client proxy) in your HCM system based on a service interface definition from PI's ESR.
Below are some more information about proxy generation and development. You can find more on SCN by searching "outbound proxy".

Oracle 8.1.5 Invalid Staging Area Error

I get an error message: Invalid staging area. There is no top level components for Windows NT available for installing
from this staging area. I installed this version successfully running win98, but i get this error with XP. I tried renaming the symcjit.dll
as suggested in some of the earlier posting with no success. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

copy disk to hardrive in a temporary directory. go to properties for setup.exe (right click on file used to install oracle). Select the compatiblity tab. make sure the check box "run this program in compatibility mode" is checked. In combo box select windows 98.

Staging area for Management Agent files...?

Sorry for another question so quickly - I am reading the documentation first!
Management agents upload files to the OMS server, and these are parsed and loaded as data into the MR database, right?
Where is the staging area for these files (upload from all the management agents)? Is it possible to change it? From what I can gather it's
https://oms_server:1159/em/upload - but where is this in the real world? I've searched the OMS $ORACLE_HOME, but can't find any uploaded files
The reason for these questions is because we have a requirement to load these files to a shared area so that both our OMSes can access them - has anyone come across a configuration like this before? Does it work?
Many thanks (again!)
D

The upload area on the OMS would normally be <OMS_HOME>/sysman/recv.
You still might find no data files over here, as they may be uploaded to the OMS on that moment.
Yes, making this directory a shared location ,will work when running multiple OMS.

Oracle 8i install on Win ME - invalid staging area?

I'm having trouble installing 8i Personal Edition on Win ME
(Athlon 1.3, 768 ram, plenty of disk space). I get the
error "Invalid staging area. There are no top level components
for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area." on
the "File Locations" step of the pre-install process. Anyone
know what this may be caused by?

Edit your win.ini file
In the [Compatibility 95] section add the following:
Jrew=0x00080000
Save the file and reboot your machine..
Now you will be able to install Personal 8i for windows 98 on

In ESS we are getting SAP GUI screens instead of web screens??

Hi,
How the problem has come up---
We have transferred the production data and OS into test server and changed the test server IP address to production IP address after shutting down the production server.
Which means that now ITS/ESS will be pointing to the new copied server. After this when this new server was shutdown and old production was started the ESS/ITS points back to the original production server.
Now the problem is that When we execute any transaction from ESS we are getting SAP GUI screen instead of Web screen.
Can somebody tell me why this is happening.
Any pointers to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Varun

First off...what version are you on (backend)? Also, how did you "switch" your ITS instance?A little more info and we will solve this for ya. =)

'Error: Invalid Staging Area' while installing Developer Studio 10g

Dear All,
I am trying to install Oracle Developer Studio 10g on Windows 2000 SP4 machine having 512 MB RAM.
All the installer requirements are met.
After that Oracle Universal Installer displays the error:
Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area.
Please explain me this error. I am not getting any references about the same on Internet.
Do i able to install Oracle Developer Suite on my machine?
-Sameer

"Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this staging area."
This is Oracle's way of saying nothing on this CD can be installed on Windows NT (or Windows 2000)

What do you have defined for your support?
Presumably you have quoted a price per call but what do you cover and how do you calculate the charge to your client?
Please let me know so that I can undercut your quote.
Damn - forgot to ask who your client was and the contact name.

Delete records from tableA which are not in tableB

Table A contains milions of records which is the best way to delete records from tableA which are not in tableB
delete from tableA where empno not in (select empno from tableb)
or
delete from tableA where empno not exists (select empno from tableb
where b.empno=a.empno)
any help

Hi
If you can do this, do with this:
create table tableC
as select a.*
from tableA a,
(select empno from tableA
minus
select empno from tableB) b
where a.empno = b.empno;
drop table tableA;
rename table tableC to tableA;

Report using colmns from 2 subject areas

Hi,
I have to buld a report as below
Product      ForecastRevenue(A)       ActualRevenue(B)       Variance
A                200                                      100                           100
B                200                                      200                            0
ForecastRevenue(A) comes from 1 subject area and ActualRevenue(B) comes from another subject area. Using these 2 columns from different subject area I have to create
a calculated column variance which is the difference of two columns. How can I create this report. Any idea?

can be done in two ways;
1. Using Union report
Create a union report with two request.
Request1 -          product               Forecast_Revenue     Actual Revenue
Col expression     "product.name"     "Fact.Revenue"         0
Request2 -          product               Forecast_Revenue     Actual Revenue
Col expression      "product.name"    0                             "Fact.ACTUAL_Revenue"
In the result tab create a pivote report and set the aggregation of fact column as sum.
Add a calculated column and write the expression as
Farecast_Revenue - Actual_Revenue
You are done.
2. Use the advance tab in the report and write a custom SQL to join these two subject area.
eg.
select product, A.forecast_reveneu, B.Forecast_Reveneue, A.forecast_reveneu-B.Forecast_Reveneue
from SA1 A join SA2 B on (A.product=B.PRODUCT)
You are done.
Best of Luck,

Is there a way to modify vendor number(manually input vendor number e.g. from a file) when replicating vendor master data from ECC to SRM using the vendor master data user exit (SAPMF02K)?
Does anyone have documentation on the user exit, how do I use it??

Hello Guru,
I have NW BPC 7.5 installed on BW server. Currently i have started to work on one application where i have to load master data first. I am loading master data for cost center.
I looked into the process chain "BPC: Import BW InfoObject master data" and i found that few processes are in GREEN color and few are in RED color (Display). is that correct or not ? then as per some of the thread i went to "BPC: Convert BW infoObject master data" --> SOURCE_TYPE = IP and added one parameter "FORMULA_FILE_NO". Then i saved this process chain and activated it.
I created transformation file in BPC and it got created successfully but while i try to load packages it throws me error.
Q. Do i need to have entire process chain with all processes in GREEN to have the master data in BPC ?
Q. Do i need to activate any BADI's for this or not ?
I appreciate your help in advance. I trie

Hello Guru,

We are using SAP SRM to punch out external catalogs. Firefox version 3.5 and below works fine and the items from the catalogs are brought back to SRM .But when we use version 3.6.12 the items are not getting transferred back to SRM from the Catalogs.

SRM is a procurement system from SAP which we use to purchase goods and service. We have external catalogs like officemax, cdw etc which we punchout the items and bring it to SRM for ordering.
When we use firefox version 3.5 and below the items which we add from the Catalogs are correctly brought back to SRM for us to order. But when we use versions 3.6.12 the items are not brought back to SRM.
Internet Explorer 7 and 8 works fine. Is there anyway you can help us.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.
References
NOTE:257338.1 - Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L
Hope this helps.
