R3P- Project builder Network activity processing time

Hi Gurus,
I have created a Network activity (internal)for our equipment to be dispatched at CM21.
I have input 250.0Hrs and the NWA scheduling date as follows:
Cannot start before: 07/28/2010
Finish not later: 08/31/2010
the NWA work center has the operating time of 8.00H and execution formula of SAP008 Proj:RqmtsNetwkMaint
but upon checking at the NWA 'date' tab the earlier tart date was 07/29/2010 and earlier finish date was 08/08/2010 and the duration was computed 1.5WK it still computes for 24Hrs whereas it should compute 8hrs only.
Please advise what should i change or which should i set up?
thanks.
God bless

Hi,
Please create New network under L3 WBS element then you have to create Activity that time system give different activity number
as per above mentioned screen shots showing - same activity numbers why because - while creating activity system has considered same Network number to L3 wbs element
please create new Network under L3 WBS Element
then your issue will be clear
Thanking you

Project system network activity cost distribute

it is possible that i distribute the plan cost of external network activity to period wise. if yes then how ..........
thanks

Hi
You can't plan the cost of external network activity period wise. The lowest level you can plan period wise is WBS Element level.

Report Builder - Add report Processing time

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to add a value field to a report, with the time it took for the report to Process.
It would probably be a text field with an Expression, but don't know how that would go.
I know that in Expression there is a value for ExecutionTime (when report began to run), but nothing about when it ends.
Can this be done? and if yes, how?
Thanks

Try the below expression in the text box,
="Execution Time: " +
CStr(System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(Globals!ExecutionTime).Hours) + " hour(s)" + " , " +
CStr(System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(Globals!ExecutionTime).Minutes) + " minute(s)" + ", " +
CStr(System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(Globals!ExecutionTime).Seconds) + " second(s)"
We have another option,
USE [ReportServer]
SELECT ReportID
, TimeStart
, TimeEnd
, TimeDataRetrieval
, TimeProcessing
, TimeRendering
, TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering AS TotalRenderingTime
FROM dbo.ExecutionLog
ORDER BY TimeStart DESC

Network activity stalls

I've searched to try to find these symptoms mentioned anywhere else online, but to no avail, so I decided to post here. I have a Powerbook 12" G4, 1.33GHz, 1.25MB, that will stall all network activity from time to time, and it's getting increasingly worse. I've eliminated everything I can think of to isolate the problem. It's plugged directly into a High Speed modem now through an ethernet cable, firewall on, bypassing the wireless router. The problem persists. I think I can safely say the problem is in the Powerbook. Whether it's a hardware or software problem, I just don't know. Oh yeah, I've tried using it on two networks, two different ISPs, using two different modems, and the problem persists.
Before, when I was surfing wirelessly through the Airport card, I found that turning Airport on and off (menubar) would often work, but not always. Now that I'm hardwired, I'm leaving the Network Preference pane open in order to hit "Renew DHCP Lease" whenever it stalls, and that works most times, but not always. It will "usually" fix itself if I wait long enough. (BTW, I've hit that button 3 times in the last few minutes while surfing discussions.apple.com. It's like the Powerbook has temporarily forgotten where the net is - amnesia)
Observations:
* Sometimes, not always, the CPU useage pegs at 100% while it's stalled. (What's it doing?)
* Non-apple software, that might be contributing to the problem, are the aggregators I've started using. Apple's own ITunes is the one I use for podcasts. Democracy Player (video) and Vienna (newsfeeds) are the other two. They send out multiple requests simultaneously during a refresh. I've witnessed downloads, in progress at the time using another program, completely stop when I do a refresh with any of those aggregators. I've seen the network stall many times, using ITunes too, and the feeds time out instead of refreshing.
* I'm using Firefox for the web. As mentioned, it will stall while surfing regularly. Some files downloaded with Firefox have stalled, and they do NOT resume the download afterwards. I've had to start them over again.
* BitTorrent usually works fine all the way through a download, as long as I leave it alone. However, I've watched aggregator refreshes kill torrent downloads that were in progress, cutting connections to all peers. I don't think BT is causing the problem, but it is being affected.
I reinstalled the system a few days ago (archive and install) and then updated to 10.4.8 through software update. It stalled two times while downloading those updates too, while the computer was NOT attended. Sigh. The half-finished downloads did NOT resume, they had to started over from scratch.
I don't know what else I can add to this.
Hitting "Renew DHCP Lease" while it's stalled, will often "unstall it" and then it finishes what it started. But not always.
I want to reiterate that the stalls are not entirely consistent, that sometimes everything works fine. It's just that the problems seem to be related to these actions, like there's something that's not quite up to the task, not every time. That's how it seems to me. It's frustrating.
Suggestions, comments, and confirmation from others with similar issues, would be welcome. Can anyone suggest or point me to a fix?
thanks

Update:
2) I pulled the Airport card and cleaned the contacts
with a pencil eraser and reinstalled. Then I noticed
the power plug has a flange on the centre pin that
compresses. I took a butter knife and spread the
flange contacts apart, just a bit, and then plugged
it in. (The thinking being that the centre pin
contact was too loose, and therefore, possibly,
unable to power the card under full load
conditions.)
Update 2:
Well, I'm 99% sure the procedure above solved my network dropout problems while using Airport (wireless). I mistakenly called this plug the power plug, when apparently it's the antenna plug. Whoops!! It worked out to the same difference though. Poor contact from the centre pin was reducing the card's effectiveness. It's rock solid now.
My other network problems turn out to be related to the new ISP. I think their modem is flaky. It's a 30 day trial, so I'm returning it and getting a replacement. I've been surfing problem-free with the old ISP, now that Airport is fixed, but the new ISP (modem) is still giving me many network problems, that completely disappear when I switch back.
For anyone interested, I'm testing Rogers Portable Internet (available in Canada). It's an early version of WiMax and it looks promising. I recently read where some hotels are charging outrageous small fortunes for conference room net access. This simple device could literally kill that as a profit centre. Just plug the modem into any electrical outlet and you're online. It's 1.5 Meg down, 256K up, and at about the same price as regular High Speed dsl or cable. That's not too shabby. (...if it works as it should.)

Customer Enhancement in Project Network Activity

Hi Gurus,
I add a new subscreen in project network activity(cj20n). I use the structure CI_AFVU as field structure.
It contains two fields 1) CI_AFVU-ZZSALES_DOC
2) CI_AFVU-ZZSALES_ITEM.
The exit is CNEX0008 in which I have two function exit for PBO and PAI for that subscreen.
EXIT_SAPLCONW_002 for PBO
and EXIT_SAPLCONW_003 for PAI.
My problem is in PAI I am not able to import data from screen. I use the following code:
CNCI_AFVU_EXP-zzSALES_DOC = CI_AFVU-zzsales_doc.
CNCI_AFVU_EXP-zzSALES_ITEM = CI_AFVU-zzsales_item.
and one more thing is that Different Activity takes the same Value in both the customer fields which should be different. Although in debugging mode CI_AFVU display the values, but when I am trying the above code it give me a compile time error 'Field "CI_AFVU-ZZSALES_DOC" is unknown. It is neither in one of thespecified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement . . . . . . . . . .'
I need a solution for that, Pls help.
Thanks,

Last projects processed in Project Builder

Hi Experts,
I found these communication which our industry also required this enhancement in project system and Mr.Rakesh Pradhan haven't gave us in full details information. Can I request both of you guys to provide more detail information to us as well. So that we can ful fill these requirement here as well ,-
Hi experts,
We all know that the last five projects processed using the project builder will be stored in the worklist of the project builder. Currently this is a standard SAP functionality where the processed projects are stored under the userID
My question:
1. Is there a way to increase the number of projects in that list?
2. Where these informations are stored? I know that this is userID specific but dont know where.
Any input is welcome.
FATMAN
Hi,
We can increase the number of Projects last processed from 5 up to 20. This can be done through enhancement Package-3, Project Systems enhancements. Please refer the document available in SAP service market place.
Please let me know if you need any details on this.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Rakesh Pradhan
Thanks and Regards
Kannika

Hi Kannika,
The enhancement package is for ECC and not for 4.7.
There is another way to increase the number of last projects processed in the transaction CJ20N using ABAP program modification.
In the functional module CNPB_W_UPDATE_HISTORY, line number 109 you have to increase the index from 6 to what ever number you want. I think it can go upto 20 projects.
Beware!!!!!!!!! This is standard SAP program modification.

Record time against network activity in CATS

Hi all
Is there any special exit to be used to DIRECTLY record time against Network Activity in CATS ? I do not which to use the "Worklist & Copy" functionality.
regards
PK

Hi,
As far as i know, you can directly do a timesheet entry for a network activity. You need to have details like activity type and cost center to do this. Also note that timesheet entry in CAT2 is directly influenced by the data entry profile that you use and the settings in CAC2 transaction.
I would suggest you to check both the Data Entry Profile and the setting in CAC2. If you find everything is fine here please check if there is any user exit that is preventing you from making a timesheet entry.

Time Events in PS (Clocking on an off a Network Activity)

Hi,
Is there a SAP standard transaction for clocking on and off jobs for a Network Activity? In PP you can clock on and off a job using CO19 but that doesn't work for PS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Adeel

As I understand, this kind of funcationality is not there in PS becasue in PS all the project activity is not direclty depends upon physical plant resource entiry directly. So, indirectly you can achieve the same via early confimration and extending duration of acitivty etc..
Pelase share if someone have other views.

Time entries booked against network & activity are not transferring to PS

Hi every one,
We have scheduled a job to transfer time entries which were booked against network & activity on daily basis, but for some reason the time entries are not getting posted against the network (Only for certain network, see attachment), though it is not showing any error message when i saw the spool log for the job in SM37. When i ran CAT5 in test mode it is showing time entries which needs to be booked against the network and activity.
Can some one help me out to transfer the time entries via the job??
I have attached the screenshot from CAT5 transaction.

Hi Ram,
Variant will determine the selection of personnel numbers and other parameter defined on CAT5 selection screen. If manually posting is happening on network then it means network are fine.
What I can suggest is, you can create a new variant and then run it thought SM36 and check in SM37.
Go in CAT5 transaction, and untick test run, log and dates transfer can be ticked. Then save. Then variant attributes screen will open save the variant with a name and description .lets assume you saved the variant with name TEST. If you wish you can on save the variant on certain number of network or personnel number, it depends on you to keep it blank or run variant for limited number of records.
Now go in SM36 and click on STEP, in the ABAP program TAB enter "RCATSTPS", then select the variant using search help and you will find the variant defined above i.e. TEST.Check and save from bottom of the window. Come back once. Then click on START CONDITION, Date/Time - define a date and time for the variant "TEST" to run as a JOB.
Check in SM37 you will find the schedule JOB run time and date. After the JOB is finished you check report CJI3 for actual posting of network.
This will work fine, if in case you need few more fields to be defined in variant then I will suggest to create a variant via CATA instead of CAT5, their you will get more options to post time.

Sandeep

Project related tables and link for services in Network Activity

Dear Experts,
    My requirement is I need a table for services in Network activity before release of Network and link for services to another table(Project related before PR).
Ex : Network             Activity           Service

Srikanth.

Dear sushrut sheth,
thank for the reply
I looked in AFVC before to post the Issue but in this table the Activity is only updating but not the individual service items
I required the table which is updating the individual service line items

Function, BAPI to get the children form a Network Activity in a Project (PS)

Hi everyone,
I have a Project in TCode CJ20N with PEPs, Networks and all the components that It has.
I'm doing a program which input "Network Activity" and the result have to be all the children for this Network Activity (Material Components) including the information for each Material Component because What I'm looking for is to check if at list one of the children for a Network Aciviti have a Purchase Requisition linked to it as I show in the Attached File.
To do this, I need to execute a function, BAPI, BADI or any code to get the children to look for a PR.
Thanks a Lot.
Regards
Felipe Uribe

Hi Arun...
thanks a lot, I think it could work fine!!!.
I'll try using this BAPI.

Recording Time against Network Activity in CAT2

Hi All
In CAT2 can we post time against Network Activity for a Employee directly by entering the Network Activity? How do we do this?
I do not wish to use Worklist & Copy functionality. If I enter time against Network Activity by manually entering the number, I get the error 'Enter purchase order number and item number'. It is possible to do this against WBS. How do I correct this issue?
regards
Arvind

Hi Aravind Nadar,
Can you check the below steps, let me know once whether it is working fine.
SPRO->Cross-Application Component->TimeSheet->TimeRecording->Choose Fileds.
step1: Double click on the 'Data Entry Section' line Item
step2:Click on Influencing Button on the Application Tool bar.
step3: content Field-enter F4, and select the Data Entry Profile which is used by you.
step4: enter.
Step5:search for 'Sending PO Item, make it as 'input field'
and 'Sending Purchase Order' make it as 'input Field'
Step6: save the changes.(Back to initial screen)
Now you can check the CAT2 transaction with Data Entry Profile, for which you have made changes above.
Best Regards,

Low printer with lomg processing times ; network issues

Hello,
We are running ECC6 on HP-UX 11.23/Oracle 10.2
We have configured all our printers ( more than 300) using the host spool access method L : Print Locally using LP/LPR.
Every day, we have the same printers with the sames "low printers" :
sm21 syslog shows ;
Printer WRAL Temporarily Locked Due to Connection Problem
Spool Process logs indicates ;
Fri Feb 17 11:09:37 2012
Warning: lpq on printer WRAL took 16 seconds!
RSPOSYSLOG:
SYSLOG written: CODE FBL, locat 28, param WRAL&16&
There are several notes that indicate how to deactivate the printer pooling, but still, the best thing to do is to pinpoint the
root cause of the issue, .....which we haven't
I checked the spool distribution times in transaction STAD, I have unusuallyhigh "processing times" values.
But I can't underdstand it.
Is it a network processing time ?
Our network team tell us that there is nothing abnormal, but is there a way to check from SAP , any netwok issue with the printers ?
Thanks
Edited by: Raoul Shiro on Feb 17, 2012 5:09 PM

Hi,
For log "Printer WRAL Temporarily Locked Due to Connection Problem", it means
that for a period of xxx seconds (parameter rspo/lpq/temp_disable_time) no query or printing from sap for this printer are done anymore.
This has no influence on the printout from any other application. The only effect is that the printer is 'disabled' within sap.
The idea behind this concept is to prevent that a slow query can slow down the overall print performance of one server. During the query the spool wp cannot do anything else. In this time no printout to any printer from this server can be done.
It would seem that the problem is outside of the R/3 system and is at UNIX or printer level. Perhaps you had a temporary Network or printer problem. You can test by executing the lpstat query to this printer at OS level.
You can find out the exact lpstat query that your system uses, by looking at the system parameters 'rspo/host_spool/query'.
The parameter &P in the command will be substituted by the host device name.
If everything is correct in your unix spooler then it is very likely that the printer is not working correctly, so the unix spooler can't send print jobs to this printer, Therefore SAP blocks this printer for a certain time trying not to overload the unix spool queue.
You might want to temporarily turn off the query but if there is a problem with a specific printer or OS problem, this
will not be reported back to R/3.
Some SAP notes:
385794 - Connection problems with network access methods
20924 - Parameter settings for remote printing

Vincent
