Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

MM configurations for SAP AFS System

Hi,
        I'm working in MM configuration for SAP AFS production system, After uploading AFS Materials successfully and also created Purchase order to make a stock for that material, but PO created successfully but not able to do Goods receipts for created PO.
       Errors : Purchase order xxxxx has no items,
Once created sales order for the same material again we got the error while GR but error is different.
      GR is not possible for this PO number.
But material type is ROH , and its external procurement only.
Please let me know when we will get this type of errors.
Thanks and regards
Nisar.

Hi Nasir;
Some possible causes are;
1.     Defining inbound delivery (Or kind of a confirmation) in the PO LI level and not maintaining the document subsequently
2.     Not releasing the PO before the GRN
3.     Creating the PO with a material with Grids (AFS Basic Data Screen) and not maintaining the grid value at item detail level of the PO

Need to connect to GreenPlum Database in SAP BI 4.0

Hi ,
We Need to connect to GreenPlum Database in SAP BI 4.0,
i dont see any specific driver to set up a system dsn for this data source.
So can any one share your experience if you built a universe based on green plum db(UNX using IDT in 4.0)
or even in earlier versions of BO how to create a system dsn for greenplum db,
which driver we need to use.

Hi,
Infact, GreenPlum 4 is not 'officially supported' with BI 4.0 until Feature Pack 03 next year.
This is OK currently:
Greenplum     3.2     JDBC     PostgreSQL 8.4 JDBC
Greenplum     3.2     ODBC     PostgreSQL 8.4 ODBC
This will come with 4.0.FP03 :
Greenplum     4     JDBC     PostgreSQL JDBC 8.4-701
Greenplum     4     ODBC     PostgreSQL ODBC 9.00.03.00

Unable to open 2007B database in SAP Business One version 8.8

Hi Experts,
We are in the process of upgrading one of our client from SAP Business one 2007B PL13 to SAP Business One 8.8. While trying to open the client's live database in 8.8, system throws a message "You cannot upgrade company databases from SAP Business One client. Use the Upgrade CD or contact your IT administrator for the upgrade". Plz guide me on how can I open the DBs used in 2007B in 8.8??
Regards,
Madhavan

Hi
I thiink your database is not updated ..Install client in your server and try with opening up ..
It will probably ask you to back up the database and upgrade ...
If not ,uninstall everything thing ..instead of having new installation ,download the upgrade version and see if resolves your issue
Hope this helps

Importance of Common Database in SAP B1

hi guys,
Up to this point, its not very clear to me if it is necessary to back the Common Database of SAP business one.
As per documentation, it states that Common database includes tables for basic initialization of any new company database (for example, built-in reports and system queries). This means that every new database created, this is the time when Common Database is update or something?
My main concern here is, is it necessary for me to back/restore both the common and reg company database? I need to know this as early as possible because I am not backing up this common database .
Thanks,
Beth

hello Lili,
The common database stores required tables that used when run company databases. it is System Databases. In addition to the SAP Business One company database with the application data, you should backup the database SBO-Common once after installation, and after each upgrade.
when creating new company database, there maybe updating process of common database beside upgradingPL.
Based on securityguide file, it states:
Creating the SBO_SP_Role in Each New Database
This role enables execution permissions only to SAP Business One stored procedures in the specific database.
The following procedure should be carried out on the SBO-COMMON database and the company database.
1. On the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio navigation pane, choose Databases → SBO-COMMON (or company database) → Security → Roles → Database Roles.
Right Click and choose New Database Role Database Role New window appears.
2. Enter SBO_SP_Role in the Name field and choose OK.
The list of Roles appears in the right pane.
3. Double-click the new role and choose from the left pane Securables.
4. From the right pane, press the Add button. The Add Objects window appears.
5. On the Add Objects window choose All Objects of the Types and press OK. The Select Objects Types window appears. Choose Stored Procedures. Press OK to confirm and close the window.
6. For SAP Business One stored procedures, select the EXEC option in the bottom pane.
Stored procedures might change in future releases of SAP Business One, therefore, this role should be updated accordingly. Instructions to change the role due to changed stored procedures will be included in the documentation of future versions.
See Appendix A Stored Procedures in SBO-Common and Appendix B - Stored Procedures for Regular Company

Steps to Copy a Database in SAP

Hi,
What are the steps to copy a database in SAP?
Thanks,
Sreekar.

Hi,
The steps of database copy are as below.
1. To make Database copy between two systems, you have to check file size on
Target System.
Use commands:
df -k
bdf (HP-UX)
2. On the Source System, check the files which are going to move.
Use commands:
su ora
svrmgrl
connect internal;
select name from v$controlfile;
select name from v$datafile;
select name from v$logfile;
3. Release all change requests on source system.
4. Shutdown database (Source system)
Use commands:
su - adm
stopsap
5. Copy the controlfiles, datafiles, logfiles from source system to target
system.
Backup via tar
ftp or rcp
For example: You can write a simple script.
rcp r src_server:/oracle/SRC/sapdata1 /oracle/TRG
rcp r src_server:/oracle/SRC/sapdata2 /oracle/TRG
rcp r src_server:/oracle/SRC/sapdata3 /oracle/TRG
or for backup
tar cvf /dev/ sapdata* dbs origlog* mirrlog*
6. Copy $Oracle_Home/dbs/init.ora parameter file from source system to
target system. Change all old SIDs to new SIDs except db_name parameter.
Save it with old SID name.
7. On the target system, change parameter /dbname= on
parameter file /usr/sap/trans/bin/TPPARAM
8. Change all owners and groups.
Use commands:
With root user.
cd /oracle/
chown R ora:dba sapdata*
chown R ora:dba origlog*

Hi,
Your configuration will only be applicable for the documents you are creating in future. It will not be applicable for the documents you have created in the past.
If any such open sales orders exist with third party I.C., then just delete them or put rejection codes, and then start creating new orders for them
If invoiced cases are there, you really have to analyse the implications and then take the corrective measures.

Moving the database of SAP J2EE Adapter Engine on another host

Hello all,
I'd like to ask SAP/Oracle experts if there is any obstacle, why would not be able to move Oracle database of SAP J2EE Adapter Engine on other/different host after the installation.
As I describe int he thread [Installation of J2EE Adapter Engine with DB on different host|Installation of J2EE Adapter Engine with DB on different host;, the SAPINST program doesn't offer the possibility to install J2EE Adapter Engine with DB on other host than the central instance.
Only thing I'm not sure about is if this is done by any purpose for some database requirement, or it's simply not there.
SAP J2EE AE is normal JAVA AS with some more functionalities and is also installed within SAP PI/XI installation, which can run in "distributed model" system.
What do you think ?
Thank you for your opinion in advance.
Regards
Tomas

No opinion anyone ?

SAP AFS Upgrade from version 5.0 to 6.4

Hi Experts,
I wanted to know if someone here was familiar with the SAP AFS upgrade from 5.0 to 6.4. I wanted to know how exactly they improved the areas listed below. (obtained from SAP Course). Your help would be greatly appreciated
http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/globaltabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b|wdedaf||1||de|%5d%5d|
1) Improvements in the areas of planned independent requirements, seasonal concept, value add services, Combined order, productionu2013 warehouse interface
2) Production Planning Basic Data - Enhancements of AFS Bill of Material (AFS BOM), SKU Group Based Routing
3) Manufacturing Execution u2013 Collective Planned Order Conversion, Combined Order Confirmations
4) Batch Determination/Classification for SAP Apparel and Footwear
5) Handling Unit Management for AFS
Thanks,

Hi Ronny,
Thanks for the reply!
These patches you speak of, is it for the types of issues I mentioned in my first post or do they cover the entire AFS functionality? I assume it still requires complex configurations but are there a lot of complications with going from AFS 5.0 to 6.4, compared to a new AFS 6.4 implementation? Specifically with the grids, categories and BOMs?
/Cheers
