Reg: role of TCS Deployer

Hello Guru's,
1. In the process of using NWDI and NWDS for the development/ customizations what is the role of TCS Deployer?
When Checkin the activity from NWDS the requests gets queued in TCS Deployer. What is the main role of TCS Deployer and what are the functionalities.
2. Assume we have xyz software component which we have added as dependent in the track and now we want to upgrade the SC and deployed the same on the server.
My Question is when modifying the DC which version of SC will it be checking is it the SC which is added as dependent in the track or the latest version of SC which is deployed on the server?
3. If we want to have the latest version to be used in the track can we modify the existing track or do we need to create New Track to incorporate the latest SC into the track.
Best Regards,
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
if you want to just change some dependent SCs to a higher patch level inside your track, but these will have the very same SP, then I think you can go for this option:
1. obviously you need to copy these files physically to the CMS inbox folder
2. then you trigger a Restore System State for DEV and COS ("Restore..." button in your transport studio, on the tabs DEV and CONS)
3. Check-in the new files (check-in tab in transport studio of CMS webui)
4. import into DEV and CONS (Development and Consolidation tabs)
5. reimport the development config for each developer (on client side in the NWDSs of the developers)
NOTICE: when you do this, avoid ongoing development, and when the developers are reimporting their development configurations, ask them not to have any open activities.
If the distance between the current dependent SCs and the SCs you want to add is larger, then rather use the blog I mentioned before, and notice that if you go for that option, then a new track need to be created with version 2.0 and the version history will be lost.
Regarding the Red State in the CMS webui, this usually means that the SC definition in CMS differs from the one maintained in the SLD. You can use the "Synchronize SC definition" feature (you can find on the track data tab of the landscape config of CMS webui) when editing the track in question. If you press this button (need to be in change modus) then a popup comes where you'll find a dropdownlist, and in there there's an option "SCs out of Sync with SLD". Do not press any other buttons here, but if you expand the appeared SC node, you'll see in this table which SCs are in SLD and not in CMS or vica versa. I recommend you to overview this and try to answer yourself why the difference. If you found the problem, I suggest you that after you have triggered an "Update CMS" (on the domain data tab), then remove the problematic SC from the track data tab (landscape configurator) and readd the SC (Add SC... on track data tab). Then the inconsistency should be resolved. Do not use the button "Define Dependencies..." on the Track Data tab (which you find next to Add SC... button).
I hope this answers your question.
Best Regards,
Ervin

Reg Role

Hi,
User U1 has default privileges assigned to him through a role R1. There is a table named T1. U1 is able to access T1 through Sql plus and not through Pl/sql.
Can anyone tell me what is the privilege he is missing?
Thanks

First of all SQL Plus is different and SQL is different. SQL Plus is editor provided by oracle to test/execute simple queries. SQL is the actual query language.
Actually my previous statement is only partially correct.
Subprograms are classified into Anonymous Blocks and Named Subprograms.
Anonymous blocks means PL/SQL script with no name associated with it. They will not be stored in database. They will get compiled and executed every time you run it.
Named subprograms means packages, procedures and functions. Generally we will have logic implemented in procedures and functions.
Again these procedures and functions are classified into invoker right subprograms and definer right subprogram. There is a clause called AUTHID in procedure/function spec.
By default or if AUTHID is not specified it is definer rights which means that when procedure is invoked it will be executed with the privileges of the user/schema who created that procedure.
Eg: For suppose there are 2 schemas A and B
We create procedure by name proc in A with definer rights. Let us assume that table Table1 is used in A on which A has all the privileges. Once procedure is created in A and execute grants are given to B, B can invoke the procedure any time.
Schema A
proc1
delete from table1;
end;
grant on proc1 to B
Now when B invoke the procedure even though B didnt have any privileges the data is deleted.
Keep in mind that this is default behavior of stored proc.
Invoker rights means we need to specify AUTHID current_user in proc/func spec.
In this case the procedure will fail as B didnt have privileges on table1.
Now come to the point, privileges granted over role will work in anonymous blocks and invoker right subprograms. But in case of definer rights it wont work.
The reason for this (1 example):
For suppose A is SYSDBA (DBA is a role) which will have lots of Predefined Package developed in SYSDBA which will play around actual tables.
For suppose there is a procedure proc1 which will truncate aud$ (important base table)
Now every one who got execute privileges can the procedure and truncate aud$.
If in this case only direct privileges work, then it will never happen.
If B has to do that specific operation related to aud$ we can directly grant to that. All the other users/schemas who try to invoke will fail.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Reg- Role of Supporting Con about CIF

Karan,
"Supporting Consultant" is a vague term. A consultant that is assigned a support task can be asked to do many things.
In some companies, the supporting consultant may be asked to be a point of contact for all issues generated by the users. He may be asked to answer simple questions, and he may be responsible for directing the inquiry to the next level of support if the issue exceeds his capabilities.
In addition, as you suggest, he may be asked to perform general maintenance tasks, and to monitor the health of the applications. In each consulting company, the tasks can be assigned differently. In addition, in a single consulting company, the support person's tasks may change over time. Generally, the above mentioned support people should be prepared to deal with users.
A second type of supporting Project consultant would be a junior consultant assigned to a senior consultant, or to a consulting team. In this role, he would be expected to receive assignments directly from the senior team members. Such tasks might be to set up less complex configuration, or to perform programming tasks under the direct supervision of a senior team member.
If you are considering applying for a job as a 'supporting consultant', you should ask the employer exactly what are his expectations.

LOSS OF ACTIVITIES OPEN. NWDI

regards,
I am modifying a standard ESS applications. While making a checkin activity modifications, vpn connection lost. When NWDS restores the activity did not appear in either "open" or "closed" and appeared multiple syntax errors because they lost the link between the server NWDI and NWDS.
It has the support of the modifications. My question is: How can update the NWDI server having these backups?
Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you all.
Vivek: When I go to CBS and try to find activities, I get a communication error. With help from a basis we could not detect what is wrong. I am attaching the error screen:
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/qmh1a
Part of the log is as follows:
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/j37yl
John: By the time the VPN goes down I do not have any activity, so I can not checkout. The draft code has many errors right now, I can not do checkin, just build. When you build, no errors are corrected.
Arun: Similar to what I say to John, I can not do checkin of a new activity because there are many syntax errors. With respect to TCS / Deployer when you submit I get an error 400. I appreciate the information you can give me.

Cannot see 'WAITING/RELEASED' in Transport View in NWDS

Hello,
We just installed NWDI (7.0 SP09) and followed the steps to configure it.
I created a New DC, created a WebDynpro application within it and checked-in the activity.
The Activation Request shows a green check mark, and a running-man symbol.
Under the Transport View, I do not see the yellow and green flags for the Waiting and Released tasks.
In CMS, we have configured a single machine for our development server (we have not included any consolidation or test or production machine in the landscape). We have disabled automatic deployment for the development machine.
Can someone please point-out where we are making a mistake ?
Thanks
Jon.

The running man symbol appears because you disabled automatic deployment. The green check mark indicates that activation was successful. The activity should nevertheless appear in the Transport view as a waiting activity, since activation was successful. In order to deploy the DC's touched in the activity you'll have to go to the TCS Deployer now: [http://<nwdiserver>:<port>/TCS/Deployer].

Remote Desktop Services Single SSL Cert with multiple hosts

I am trying to use a single SSL Cert from a third party issuer. I have 3 servers in my deployement all are 2012R2. One contains the RD Web Access role, RD Gateway role, RD Licensing role, and RD Connection Broker role. The other 2 are
RD Session Hosts. I have the SSL cert for the server that has the Gateway and other roles. My deployement is primarily focused on deploying RemoteApp to Windows 8 Thin clients with GPO through the default URL. It works currently with the
exception that the user gets a certificate mismatch error because it is seeing the cert for the gateway server but is connecting to the host servers so the names don't match. Is anyone else using a similar setup and had success with it? I am trying
to avoid buying an expensive wildcard cert to cover all of them.

Hi,
Please verify that the .rdp file embedded in the RDWeb IE page matches the same one from RADC. To do this, log on to RD Web Access using IE, right-click and choose View Source. Find the goRDP function for the icon you want to examine and copy
the text between the ' marks. Next paste this into the escape text box the below page:
http://www.web-code.org/coding-tools/javascript-escape-unescape-converter-tool.html
Click complete unescape to get the plain text version. After that you can select all of the text in the clear text box, paste it into a blank Notepad window, then save as a .rdp file. Once you have the .rdp file created you can compare
it to the other ones and see if any of the names are different, see if it gets the certificate error as well when you double-click it, etc.
Do you have any proxy or other non-default network configuration on your Windows 8 embedded clients?
Thanks.

E-Commerce 5.0 Custom B2B Application changes are not reflecting on screen

<h5>Hi Experts,
I am currently working the E-Commerce for ERP project. Part of that I am customizing some of standard screens. I was able to indentify JSP, .Properties, .XLF files where I can change Header name (startpage.header), Shop Name (b2b.jsp.applicationName) etc . I am following the SAP help guide (How Tou2026 Create Custom Application in E-Commerce 5.0.pdf).
Below are the steps I completed so far
1)     Created a custom track in NWDI
2)     Added dependency SC components
3)     Check in & Imported to development tab
4)     Imported track in to NWDS
5)     Created custom DC (J2ee Enterprise Application) under CRMCUSTPRJ SC
6)     Created copy files from the standard application crm~b2b to our custom application home/b2b_xyz
7)     Added used relationship between Add a used relationship between the New DC(B2B_XXX) and the Web DC (crm/isa/web/b2b )
8)     Added relationship between Web DC (crm/isa/web/b2b )and Ext DC (crm/home/shr/ext )
9)     All above tasks are added to NWDI Activity
10)     No Build error etc.
11)      Deployed in to DEV Server and able to access Shop Front and Shop Amin (SCM) screens successfully (Went everything smooth till this step)12)      Now I modified Shop Header and Application name Key/Values in crmb2bresources_en.properties, crmb2bresources_en.xlf of NDI_XXXXXX_Dcrmisawebb2b~sap.com DC
13)      Rebuild crmisawebb2bsap.com
14)      Import Used DCu2019s in custom B2B_XXX Project, Rebuild and Deploy
15)      Restart B2B_XXX custom application in Visual Administrator- Deploy  JDBC
After all above steps I am expecting to see the shop header and Application Name in my shop. But It wasnu2019t happened.
I also checked in and activated my activities in NWDI. And my NWDI track
auto-deploy is on . I believe I donu2019t need to release my NWDI activities to Test.
Please help me with your inputs.
Thanks

Transport to consolidation system doesnot reflect in components

Hi There,
We have configured a separate Consolidation system for our WebDynpro developments. and we are using TCS for deployment. After import to consolidation system and TCS deployment , changes are not reflecting in Consolidation system.
We defined new track and its components and after initial imports we got development configuration in Development studio and made changes.
Thereafter we have followed these steps
1) We released and transported all our changes from Webdynpro Studio.
2) started Import on Consolidation tab and all components were successfully imported.
3) started TCS deployer for selected track_c and that also completed, without any error messages
4) test in consolidation system shows webdynpro changes have not been moved.
This is first round of imports on this track, if there is anything we might have missed out.
Please suggest.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Solved this..
Created one more request with application files and followed the cycle.. and this time it deployed application. Weird though worked.

Resource not available error for JSP application

Hi
i have developed J2EE - Web Module DC with JSP pages. I built the .WAR file of this application. Now I created J2ee - Enterprise application DC which references above WAR file and created EAR file. This EAR was then deployed on the server and RC was 0. but when i try to access the JSP page, it is giving me "The Requested Resource is not available".
this error comes only when i deploy the DC thru NWDI. if I deploy it directly from NWDS, i can access the JSP.
Please guide.
Deepak

The Deployment is not successful, the activity associated with the deployment is still in import queue.
Check in http://<hostname>:<port>/TCS/Deployer and check in <namespace>_<trackname>_D and see if the activity is in import queue.
Trigger the deployment manually.
Hope this helps.

what was wrong send me step by step frm check in
Thanks&Regards

Edited by: charan12 on Jan 6, 2011 2:35 PM

Hi,
This is the process of Deployment
Component Build Service (CBS) builds one or more new archives in a build request. CBS notifies Change Management Service (CMS) that an automatic deployment is pending and sends it the corresponding build request ID. This ID is entered in the table TC_CMS_TCS_NOTIFY. The automatic deployment function then contacts CBS, fetches the archives, and deploys them to the runtime system. The result of the deployment is saved to the table TC_CMS_TCS_DCQUEUE.
There are 3 scenarios you might want to check.
1. In CBS WebUI see whether the requests are getting queued for the track in use. If the requests are queued then go to Visual Admin and start the CBS Service.
2. Even though you checked in and in Development you import the import is still running then you might want to check whether the Request is Queued in TCS Deployer, if the request hangs there then it is processing the request.
If it takes longer time than usual you might want to Trigger the deployment manually.
To do Manually go to http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/TCS/Deployer and login as Administrator and trigger the deployment for the specific Buildspace.
Check the below link for further details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4e/a5214174abef23e10000000a155106/content.htm
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/JDI/Commonerrorswith+NWDI
3. Increase the memory on the NWDI server so that request gets processed.
Hope this helps.

Development Component not visible in the Consolidation Compartment in CBS

Hi Experts,
We have created a new development component on the track for which we
have created an DTR activity. After we checked in, activated & released
the activity successfully, we went to the consolidation tab in CMS and
imported the activity. We could successfully imported the activity into
consolidation system and got the message import finished. But when I checked
in the Consolidation compartment, I could not found out my newly
created Development component. I feel that the activities are not going there.
I also tried restarting the NWDI server but still no luck.
Kindly assist as without solving this issue we cannot assemble our
components and cannot move them to Quality environment.
Also, kindly assist how can we transport the entire SCA (where we have done the custom development) from development
to Consolidation for the same state?
Currently, we have lesser number of DCs in the SCA of my cons environment than my dev environment, so how can I exactly have the same state of custom developed SCA in my cons environment?
Is there any provision of system restore so that we can overcome the above issue or any other means by which we can move the entire SCA from my dev environment to cons environment.
Please suggest as this is affecting our go live activities.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
when you have imported into cons and it said finished succesfully, then clicking on the button "Details..." can you confirm that all the 3 phases were succesful (dtr import, cbs make and deployment) ?
Do you have any pending activations? You can check it in the CBS webui -- page "Activities".
Can you see any requests in the TCS deployer as described by Pramod ? (you need to look for numbers in square brackets [ ]. If there are any it means that those requests are still being deployed. If this is the case and the requests are not disappearing from the TCS Deployer, then doublecheck if the RTS settings for CONS are ok. Here a hint for that: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/TechTSG/%28NWDI%29%28CMS%29Q0002).
Eventually if all this is fine, can you please trigger an Initialize Compartment (you do this in CBS webui -- select your CONS compartment).
I hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,
Ervin

Simple authentication and authorization with a servlet and a filter

Could somebody point me to code example that do simple authentication/authorization using one servlet and one filter? (without Spring, Struts, JSF or any framework)
I’m having a lot of problems with that, apparently, easy task.
These are the rules:
- A simple login page
- Two roles (admin, registered).
- If the user loged is an admin, redirect to his entry page (private/admin/index.jsp).
- If the user loged is of role registered, redirect him to his entry page (private/registered/index.jsp).
- If it’s not a valid user, redirect again to login page.
- Admin’s users cannot go to private/registered/ area.
- Registered users cannot go to private/admin/ area.
- Non authenticated user cannot go to private/ area
Thanks a lot in advance!

Changes not reflected in portal after successful import

Hello,
I am having trouble with some transports in NWDI. I made some changes to the ESS Address Details dynpro and tested them in the development portal. I then imported them into CONS and the import ran successfully. However I cannot see the changes in the portal. I then ran the TCS Deployer and there was a long list of entries in the list of deployments for my buildspace. I then triggered the auto deployment and waited a few hours. This did not help either. I also checked to confirm that SDM was up and running which it was. Is anybody able to give me some advice on this?
Thanks a lot,
Ashley Butterfield

i have faced the same problem, but after 30 hours all the deployements are done, we got some thing around 511 deployement request on the consolidation server,
