R/3, APO, BW Quality Assurance Refresh order

All,
We are determining the best and recommended way to refresh these QA systems that are integrated in our landscape.
-R/3
-APO
-BW
Is there any recommended order/sequence in which they will have to be refreshed to maintain integrity? Can we refresh only one system and not others- r/3 only and not APO or BW? What are the issues?
I am looking for best practice that is followed across everywhere.
System versions: R/3 4.6, APO 4.0, BW 3.0
Need your input.
Thanks
satish

In my point of view
We shall take the point in time image of all systems and then refresh.
The Livecache should be in sync with R3 side.If you have mismatch livecache and APO DB and R3 ,you may have some problem after refresh.
My advise
R3 and APO shall be in sysc.That is possible if you have stopped the livecache , APO DB and R3 at the same time and taken the backup.That backup you should use for the system refresh.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Amit

Cheaply manufactured product and poor quality assurance

Where do i start with this falsely advertised "entertainment machine" HP calls the HDX 18T Premium Laptop.
A month into purchase, the case of this laptop is bulging at certain areas (top of the screen which is collecting dust and overheating, and the fingerprint scanner / sound card area, causing me to have to push it down in order to hear out of the speakers or headphones). Even when the sound does work, the quality is horrible. Think of your favorite song or movie playing and in the background the sound of nails scratching on a chalkboard. All the rubber stoppers have fell off because of cheap glue (leaving glue stains), the battery doesn't even last 30 minutes when the laptop is idle and now the charger is dead. Did i mention i payed $1,300 for all of these problems? Thank god i had a discount code or i would of paid $1,500 to get this rectangular piece of plastic.
Ive contacted HP Total Waste of Time 3 times and spoke to numerous people over the phone and email. The information, troubleshooting, and resolutions i was presented with were as helpful as a chocolate teapot.
All of these problems are due to cheap manufacturing and poor quality assurance on HPs part. These problems don't warrant a repair, but an exchange if not a refund for the amount i spent on this laptop and the numerous problems ive encountered with it.
My last conversation over the phone with my case manager (sadly i didn't get his name) just toped my whole sour experience with HP regarding this laptop. Ive been a long time HP customer, buying 4 HP G60s and this HP laptop just last year alone and forwarded many people to HP. Saving $1000 and losing a long time customer is in the better interest of HP than exchanging a cheaply and poorly made product with countless problems. At least thats what your representatives have told me.
No wounder HP took this laptop off their website only a couple months after it first shipped.

My experience with HP is very annoying.
My DV6 laptop had a broken right hinge and a loose mouse left click button. I sent it for repair and I got an email saying that the damage is not covered by the warranty, reason being... it was a damage due to accident or misuse. That really pissed me off. The notebook was never in an accident. About misuse, how can you misuse a mouse left click button and a hinge. The reason why the hinge broke was, it was set too tight. You need to apply more than a reasonable force to open it. I use Dell computer at work, never I had this problem. In fact my Dell laptop at work is one year older than this one.
What makes the situation worse is the way the call center in India handled it. I called on a Saturday to find out the status of my laptop. The guy mention that it wasn't repaired for the stated reason. I asked for someone who has more authority so that I could appeal my case. He told me to call the following Monday during office hours so that I can talk to a case manager. I called Monday, talk to a regular call center representative and requested to talk to a case manager. I was immediately informed that...that was the decision of the case manager. I told the rep to send it back immediately. I have no patience banging heads with a company who blames customers for the failure of their product. Yes, HP saved $292. Guess what, I will never buy HP product again. Also, I will share my HP experience with my friends in Facebook, Tweeter etc. I know how this big companies think, we are just one of their thousands customers.

In process Quality for Production orders

Hi Guys,
I am facing issues while doing an in process quality for production order.The usage is In process quality,
can anyone help me to carry out a flow for this usage type.
What are the necessary settings to be done and also explain the workflow for this inspection type.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
For in process quality you have to activate "03" type quality in the QM view for the material.
After creation of the order you have to generate inspection lot and based on the inspection lot you have to do result recording.
After that you will do the GR followed by usage decision of the inspation lot.
Hope this will help.Please elaborate the details for further clarification.

Hi Experts,
what type of quality assurrance work or check list in XI/PI?
Friends please help me.
regards
elton
Edited by: eltonsaranya on Jun 27, 2011 9:02 AM

You don't dedicated/specifically need Quality Assurance Check List for PI. But you can have One dedicated section for QA for all points like General Points, Overview, Performance point of view, exception handling, Test conditions, also you can have Namestandards follwed or not etc in Technical Specification itself.

Suggestion for new Forum - Software Quality Assurance & Testing

Hi - I'm active in ASUG and a SIG Chair for Software Quality Assurance SIG. I'm new to SDN and looked around a bit for where topics related to Software QA, Testing, Test tools & methodologies, etc. would be posted and discussed. I haven't found any relevant forums. A couple postings on SAP TAO (test tool) landed in the Solution Manager forum... looks like they were searching for a relevant home too.
We have good content and discussions on these topics on asug.com and I'd like to facilitate bringing some of these topics to the larger SDN community. I started a blog, we sponsor webinars, etc. What would you think of having a forum on SDN called Software Quality Assurance & Testing? Or are there other suggestions for where I would start discussing this? Maybe the forum's out there already but I just can't find it?
Thanks!

Count me in!
Currently the security aspects of good software development don't have a real home either, and are distributed over SCN in a rather thin and adhoc fasion by a few folks.
I am sure that such a forum would attract a lot of new attention to SCN on the customer side, as it is important for them.
It would also be irrefutable that the SCN Rules of Engagement are applied strictly to such a forum
Cheers and good idea!

Quality system refresh in SRM

Hi All,
After the SRM quality system refreshed with production ,what are all the settings we have to check and maintain so that we have connectivity with the backend system.
What are the RFC settings to be maintained and procedure to maintain?
Thank you
Regards,
Yshu

Hi. First set up the RFC destinations as you would normally, then run BDLS to change the logical system from the production one to your qualtity one.
Then, run program RHOMATTRIBUTES_REPLACE to change the attributes that contain logical system, you can use the sub-string checkbox to just change the first part of the attributes.
Finally check your middleware setting, you will probably need to delete the current site and create a new one pointing at the QA system.

Dave.

Using powershell to script quality assurance process

Hi,
I am new to powershell and using powershell 3.
I have been asked to write a powershell script that would be able to perform a quality assurance test on newly built servers. Mainly looking for a script that would give certification/authentication successes/failures and verify if configuration settings
were still correct.
(Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2) no idea on how to do this, I'm still in the learning phase.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ticket approved - book still not on sale Quality Assurance pending

I noticed my book - which had a ticket pending for 18 days while I fixed it, Apple said I hadn't then decided I had - has changed back to awaiting quality assurance. It's upload date has also changed from March to May 15th, even though I haven't uploaded any files today.
Does this mean my book has been reverted to the back of the line? 3 months is an awfully long time to wait, I don't want to wait another 3!

Urgh, a third queue to wait in?
Does anyone know how long the wait is between having a ticket approved and seeing the book go on sale?
Thanks!

Questions on default print quality and print order

I recently upgraded to CS 5.5, a clean install on a new Mac running 10.7. I've found two issues regarding printing from both Acrobat and InDesign:
In both programs, if I go directly to print (command-P, then hit OK without changing settings), documents will print at my printer's default setting, which is for a high-quality photo on glossy paper. (I haven't figured out yet how to change that default.) I want it to print to my faster standard quality setting, which is generally also the "last-used" setting. I can of course go into printer settings to fix -- each time I do that, my standard setting is already set in that window -- but I have to make that move every time I print.
Previous versions of both programs (CS3) automatically went into the last-used or standard setting. How can I get that back?
Also, print order hasn't been working as it did in CS3. Documents print first-page-first in CS 5.5, unless I check "Reverse order"; in CS3, docs printed last-page-first automatically, without checking any additional box, making documents easier to collate. Also, on many documents, "Odd pages only" prints the even ones, and vice-versa.
How can I get the automatic reverse order and correct odd/even back in Indesign 5.5 and Acrobat X Pro?

Hi Davis,
Well, if you are able to log on the BPS application (thus, a Web Interface if I'm not mistaken) then it means that some user is logged on the ABAP-side. It is either a "personal" user or a technical (common) user, that is used for anonymous access.
You will certainly be able to track down this user with the SM04 transaction.
You should be able to add a button to the BPS page. One idea would be to call an URL with an ICF service behind that will be able to process the parameters contained in this URL.
It will be this very ICF service that will call the BAPI.

A Quality Assurance Engineer's perspective on Neo2 PS/2 Port Problems.

I came here looking for some insight . . . . and while i got some confirmation that it's a common problem, I think some things need to be cleared up.
There's a mistake being made that disconnects cause and effect by lumping together effects that aren't necessarily from the same cause. Don't feel bad, everybody does it, I've just been trained to be critical about it.
I think there is more than one issue. Here's why.
1: I think the chipset or BIOS is cooking the ps/2 mouse data stream (and maybe USB HID data streams as well) when the "BIOS Support for USB Mouse" option is turned on. By this i mean that it's presenting the operating system with a virtual mouse device and working some behind-the-scenes magic on the data between computer and mouse.
My evidence:
With that option turned on, Linux kernel 2.6.12.2 (vanilla kernel.org sources) says this:
Jul 10 19:38:00 type kernel: input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1
Jul 10 19:38:00 type kernel: psmouse.c: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1
Jul 10 19:38:01 type kernel: psmouse.c: Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.
And with that option turned off, the kernel says this:
Jul 11 21:58:48 type kernel: input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1
I think this bios option prevents the linux kernel serio driver from allowing the psmouse driver to perform two-way communication with the mouse in the standard way.
Disabling this bios option also makes all my PS/2 mice and trackballs work on bootup, where all of them needed to be re-plugged or have the kvm switch to another port and back before they would work previously.
I think many people are having some of their problems purely because of this bios option.
I think this is very bad, and that the developers responsible for this bios feature should be subjected to a public flogging and sent to a reeducation camp where they might learn to respect the law that the quality of a piece of software is inversely proportional to the amount of magic performed within it.
I can't even think of what the advantage of a virtual PS/2 mouse would be. You want to run DOS with mouse.com driving your usb mouse or something? We're supporting Win95 OSR1 users? I guess it might make Partition Magic boot floppies a tiny bit easier to manage, but sheesh. The damage far outweighs the benefit.
Even when it works, it will only work for fairly plain mice that don't need special protocols to work.
I don't think MSI did this, I think the bios vendor did it, and MSI doesn't realize what's going on.
Yes, I know the Explorer is a USB mouse on a PS/2 adapter, but i started down this road because my Logitech trackball - which uses the MouseManPlus protocol - and it still didn't work right when i replaced the mouse. I have a PS/2 based KVM that I'd like to keep using. The KVM has been out of the loop for these diagnostics.
2: While i admit that it could very well be a PS/2 port power issue, I think it has nothing at all to do with system power supply problems, least of all the 12V rail.
Why? Why on earth would my 5V keyboard and mouse care what's happening on the 12V rail, what's why.
Furthermore, the same KB and mouse mostly kinda/sorta work on a USB to PS2 adapter cable, which is on the exact same 5V rail as the keyboard and mouse ports, and if anything should draw MORE power.
They are however probably on separate fuses.
If it's a power problem, I'm leaning toward it being a slow-blowing fuse on the PS/2 ports that is being pushed near it's limits and is thus rippling. This is conjecture, and only MSI's rework guys or someone with a lot of diagnostic gear can tell you for sure.
3: Having fixed the mouse initialization and synchronization problems, I still have a problem.
I replaced my Lexmark (IBM) PS/2 keyboard with a KeyTronic PS/2 keyboard, replaced my Logitech Trackman Marble FX with a Microsoft Trackball Explorer, and sometimes, I still get an input lockup.
The mouse will just stop tracking in mid-sweep and the keyboard will stop keying.
And then the kernel says this:

Jul 11 23:37:50 type last message repeated 54 times

I wonder if the "AT Translated" designation that the atkbd driver gives the keyboard may indicate that the PS/2 keyboard is having it's data stream cooked as well?
Edit: (for geeks) - It turns out that bios can set up your keyboard as either "raw" or "translated". It's possible to switch a keyboard back into "raw" mode, but most operating systems don't do this because it can cause problems on laptops and other computers that don't have their keyboard on a normal ps/2 port.
I don't mind having a keyboard on a usb converter, but the usb converter translates the ps/2 mouse signals too poorly. My Trackman FX has no buttons on the usb converter, and the Explorer is missing two buttons on the usb converter.
4: I don't have the 'reboot' problem, but maybe that only happens in windows.
What i see sometimes is the above, and sometimes the keyboard starts responding slowly - like it takes 30 seconds per keypress. And sometimes by re-plugging the connectors i can get it to come back.
I'm CERTAIN that some of these problems - at least one of them - can be fixed in bios. If only by defaulting the mouse bios support to off. This won't keep you from being able to navigate in bios or use your USB mouse in any OS since Win95 OSR2.1.
For at least the mouse problems, it appears that many of the problems people have reported can be resolved merely by disabling "BIOS Support for USB Mouse".

Quote from: d2thez on 13-July-05, 10:00:03
Ok, I am lost to be honest, but I just need to know if this applies to me. Please help!
I have a K8N Neo Platinum for the socket 754, not a Neo2. I use a USB mouse and a PS/2 keyboard. I have both "USB keyboard/storage support" and "USB mouse support" enabled in my bios.
You have me scared from reading your post that having them enabled will short out my PS/2 or USB. Will this happen? And should I have these options enabled or not?
And finally, if I do disable them, do I lose and functionality?? Please help me out here!
Relax. You're not going to short out anything or lose any functionality.
The first one - USB Keyboard/Storage Support - this makes it possible for you to boot off of USB drives (like the flash drives) and makes USB keyboards work in DOS. It may be required to make USB keyboards work in bios setup, but i haven't tested that.
If you have a PS/2 keyboard and you don't intend to boot off of a USB drive, you can safely disable that option with no loss in functionality of any kind.
The second one - USB Mouse Support - This is a bit of software in BIOS that takes control of USB mice and makes them appear like PS/2 mice in order to provide easy mouse support for operating systmems that don't understand USB.
Specifically, DOS and Windows versions prior to Win95 OSR2.1.
Since Win95 probably won't boot at all on an Athlon64 - and in any case won't have the drivers you need for nearly anything - the only possible scenario where you might need this feature is if you were booting some old versions of Partition Magic or Norton Ghost or other utility floppy that runs on DOS, supports mouse navigation, and is old enough that it doesn't have a DOS USB mouse driver. Newer versions of pqmagic and ghost probably have usb mouse support on their boot floppies.
You can stop reading now if you just wanted to be reassured.
The reason it causes a problem is because mice are far more complex than keyboards. For some reason, even if you don't have a USB mouse installed, the signals from your PS/2 mouse are run through software in BIOS to make the signals from your mouse look like the signals from a generic PS/2 mouse - instead of a mouse that speaks the MouseMan protocol or the Intelimouse protocol or the Explorer protocol (or three or four other protocols).
This sounds like a strange way to do it, but it's actually easier in software to treat all inputs to the same logic and translate them to a virtual device than it is to detect whether translation is needed and then only translate the signals that need it.
This interferes with the mouse drivers. It also makes it impossible for some mice to 'wake up' properly when the computer is turned on.
It also doesn't work very well because it doesn't install all the myriad mouse protocols out there. KVM manufacturers have the same problem. If they fix the Intelimouse protocol they frequently break the MouseMan protocol.
If your mouse has only two or three buttons and no scroll wheel (which counts as two or three buttons), and your mouse was not made by Microsoft or Logitech, chances are your mouse only speaks the plain PS/2 Mouse protocol and you won't have problems with translation, but you might have some other symptoms. It appears that the BIOS may actually understand the Intelimouse protocol, so Microsoft mice may work anyway.

Quality inspection without order confirmation

hi ther ........
I have created a process order & released it.
Now I am able to do quality result recording in QEN51N & Usage dicision in QA11 without process order confirmation.
how come this is possible without system throwing any kind of error ?

hi kaushik,
Regarding the inspection type details u can get in
SPRO->Quality Mangement->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection type.
It gives the list of inspection types.
For more info.
