RENAMING THE SAPSID and DBSID

Hi experts,
I am a fresh BASIS professional and this is my recent issue. Please be patient in order to read this long post and please post your valuable feedbacks.
SCENARIO:
I want to rename both SAPSID and DBSID.
SYSTEM PARTICULARS:
OS: Windows 2003 Server.
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.1
SAP: ECC 6.0 SR2 ABAP+JAVA
SAPSID and DBSID (old): SEZ
SAPSID and DBSID (new): SDF
THE PROCESS:
After an extensive research I have come up with the process to do that. Please take a look below:
1. RENAMING THE DBSID
u2022Mount the database after a clean shutdown
u2022Invoke the DBNEWID utility (nid) specifying the new DBNAME from the command line using a user with SYSDBA privilege:
nid TARGET=sys/password@SEZ DBNAME=SDF
u2022Use Y in the change database ID prompt as shown below:
Change database ID and database name SEZ to SDF? (Y/[N]) => Y
u2022Shutdown the database.
u2022Modify the DB_NAME parameter in the initialization parameter file. The startup will result in an error but proceed anyway.
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_NAME=SDF SCOPE=SPFILE;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
u2022Create a new password file:
orapwd file= D:\oracle\SEZ\102\database\pwdSDF.ora password=password entries=10
u2022Rename the SPFILE to match the new DBNAME.
u2022Recreate the service so the correct name and parameter file are used:
oradim -delete -sid SEZ
oradim -new -sid SEZ -intpwd password -startmode a -pfile D:\oracle\SEZ\102\database\spfileSDF.ora
u2022Alter the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora setting to match the new database name and restart the listener:
lsnrctl reload
u2022Open the database with RESETLOGS:
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
u2022Backup the database.
2. Then Uninstall the SAP system
3. From SAP INSTALLATION MASTER, use SYSTEM COPY option providing the SAPSID as SDF.
THE QUESTION:
Please check the above method and tell me if this will work or not?
Shall I proceed with the procedure?

Ok, as i said you should do the whole procedure with sapinst, first you export the original system. Then you re-install it with the new SID. During the reinstall (it is like a new install) you also install the Oracle software to the new ORALCE_HOME. This means of course that you also have to deinstall the existing Oracle software (and the original SAP system as well). This is the only procedure that works if a java stack is involved. Be sure, you have sufficent disk space for the export dump and the new system.
And by the way 11.2.0.1 is indeed supported, it is the 11.1.x.x releases that are not supported...
Cheers Michael

Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button. Also get error message on launch: An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files: System Library/Application Support/Adobe. Any ideas? I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro. This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for attempting to help. I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem. Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem. I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom. The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery. Only a few days left on my trial version! I hope I have time to try it out!

How do I rename the totle and the Author in iBooks ?

How do I rename the totle and the Author in iBooks ?

LOL! As you've explained it, the reason this community is called iBook for Macs is because you can easily change PDF titles on a Mac…
I know that people like to be gatekeepers--and I know that people can post in the wrong places--but that's not what happened here. I was correcting the previous comment about iBooks on the iPads! (See earlier post above.)
"iBooks.app on iPads or Maversick is a "viewing" app ie it allows you to open books etc,. on the device its used on. Its "read only" in computing terms.. you cannot change anything."
I wanted to do it by not directly pointing out the person's error, but you've forced my hand!
By the way, I ended up at this thread inadvertently while looking for how to change book titles in iBooks under iOS. So, in case anyone else ends up here looking for how to change PDF titles on their iPads, they'll know it can be done and how!
Happy Labor Day, everyone!

Sender file adapter, file existence check in archive folder if exists rename the same and proceed with current file

Dear SAP Gurus
Interface flow:
File --> File and RFC.
We have a requirment where PI needs to check the file existency in archive folder and if there is a file already exists with same name we need to rename that file and archive the current file as is...
Note* Customer don't want to add time stamp!!!!
For ex today first message processed with file name "UBMO_delta20140626.xml" and archived as is- UBMO_delta20140626.xml
and customer sends a second file on the same day with same name(UBMO_delta20140626.xml) in this case before archiving PI needs to check whether there is a file exists already in archive folder or not if there is, then it should rename the same like(UBMO_delta20140626_1.xml) and proceed with current message processing and archive the same name(UBMO_delta20140626.xml).
Many Thanks in advance...

Hi Nagesh,
I think you can use the feature of run operating system command before message processing. you can refer the below wiki for information.

You cannot add a job with a duplicate name, as a web service already exists with name ... please rename the job and try again

We are attempting to add a web service job and getting a duplicate name issue. I believe we have a caching issue where this job name may already exist but we are unable to see it on the web services status page.
Is there a data services repository database table where I can find these web services jobs listed and clean it up from the backend?

There is no option there that shows me if it is being used as a web service. Here is my issue with some screen shots.
I look at my current web service enabled jobs looking for B_JOB_CP_MDR_to_GW_EMP but it is not in the list.
I attempt to add it from repository DWXDS9
It throws an error and tells me there is already a web service with this name...
Now there has got to be an internal data services table somewhere that has this job listed as a web service. I am just trying to figure out what that table may be to determine if we can do some type of cleanup on it so we can add this job again as a web service (so it is visible to us).

Can SAPSID and DBSID be different in DB2 UDB 9.5?

Except in MCOD, can they be different in a non-MCOD system?
If yes, what will be the benefit for this?
Thanks!

Hello Linda,
yes, it can be different. But, in my opinion, there would not be any benefit. It simply has to do with your personal taste. If you don't have any reason to choose two different values, I would recommend you not to use different IDs since this helps avoiding confusion. But, as I mentioned, you're free to do so.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Renaming the Physical Filename for Datafiles in SQL Server 2008

Can anyone tell me how to change the physical filename of the datafiles? There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this, yet its quite easy to change the logical filename.

There are several ways to make this change, however to rename the physical database files at operating system level you will have to take the database offline
1. Use SSMS to take the database Offline (right-click on Database, select Tasks, Take Offline), change the name of the files at the OS level and then Bring it Online.
2. You could Detach the database, rename the files and then Attach the database pointing to the renamed files to do so.
3. You could Backup the database and then restore, changing the file location during the restore process.
4. using T SQL
ALTER DATABASE databaseName SET OFFLINE
GO
ALTER DATABASE databaseNAme MODIFY FILE (NAME =db, FILENAME = 'C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\db.mdf')
GO
--if changing log file name
ALTER DATABASE databaseNAme MODIFY FILE (NAME = db_log, FILENAME =
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\db.ldf')
GO
ALTER DATABASE databaseName SET ONLINE
GO

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

Using Adobe Premier Elements to create a video using the photos and it is make the photos blurry. Is there a setting to correct this?

as the subject states, i am suing Premier Elements pro to create a video using photos. The photos are clear then when you play the video they become blurry. I would guess there would be a way to correct this but not having much success. any helps would be great.

Iltowman
Thanks for the follow up. Right now I see details that do need addressing. For one, you are importing 3:2 photos into a project set for 16:9.
You still have not told us what version of Premiere Elements that you are using and on what computer operating system it is running. For now I will assume, Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. NTSC setup.
Please try the following as a mini test run (just a few of your photos) to determine if the Timeline photos present better in the Edit area and in an export.
1. Open Premiere Elements 13/13.1 to the Expert workspace and go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
2. In Change Settings, change the settings to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
OK out of there.
3. In the New Project Dialog that now opens, rename the project and make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on This Project. OK out of there.
4. Back in the Export workspace, import your photos using Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photos to the Timeline. There will be an orange line over the Timeline content. Press the Enter key of the computer main keyboard. or the Render button above the Timeline to do Timeline rendering which will result in the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor.
Also, right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then determine if the "Highest" gives better results than "Automatic".
If all looks good, then let us look at the quality of a AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline....
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Is the quality of the photos in this mini test run better, the same, or worse?
About your photos (3872 x 2592 3:2)...video is 4:3 or 16:9. So to avoid black borders, you could consider
a. cropping the originals from 3:2 to 16:9 before import
or
b. importing them as is and doing any needed scaling in the Edit area monitor
But, right now the focus is on image clarity rather than black borders.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

How can we change the description and name of Process Chain in Production

Guys,
Can anyone please help me to understand how can we change the name and description of the process chains in Production in SAP BI?
Regards

open the process chain and go to edit mode and then press Ctrl+F6 for a rename... you can only rename the description and not the technical name.
If you want to edit PC in production - esp one which has been transported - go to transport connection and change the object changeability for the same to everything changeable ( right click on the same to get this option )

Renaming the physical file

I am having problems renaming physical files when using multiple databases in a single file and with a single environment. I was able to do this in BDB4.
I want to create, load and close a database, then rename the file, and then be able to read the database, in particular
env = db_env_create()
db_create(&dbp, env,0)
db_open(dbp, filename1, "subdb", dbtype, DB_CREATE, 0664);
<random additions to subdb>
db_close(dbp, 0)
rename(filename1, filename2)
db_create(&dbp, env,0)
ret=db_open(dbp, filename2, "subdb", dbtype, DB_THREAD, 0664);
<random reads from subdb>
In BDB 4, I was able to do this, however BDB 5.1.19 doesn't allow it, I get a value of ENOENT for ret. However, I did notice that if I copy the file, BDB 5 works. But I don't want to copy, I want to rename.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Have you tried using the DB->rename method to rename the file?
Thanks,
Sandra

Renaming of attributes and elements in XMLs

Hi,
I have stored the following xml in a xmltype-column.
<Element Attribute1="Test1" Attribute2="Test2"></Element>
Now I want to rename the elements and attributes.
<Element2 Attribute10="Test1" Attribute20="Test2"></Element2>
How can I do this? Is this modification possible with the updatexml-statement?
Thanxs and cheers
Juergen

No, you will have to use XSL or SQL/XML operators to create a new document from the existing document

Renaming within folders AND select case of 'xmp' extension

This is 2 requests.
1. I love the rename, but it would be *so* much more handy if I could point it to the top of a folder and have it rename all files within that folder and any subfolders within. Obviously, it would only rename the files and not folders.
2. Provide an option where the .xmp sidecar files can be lowercase or UPPERCASE. I ask this because the CR2 (Canon) raw files are upper case and on systems with case sensitivity (ie macs) some other tools are looking for UPPERCASE .XMP files but Bridge writes out lowercase .xmp files. The other app, is, of course, iView, the next step in my workflow.
I know I have another request, but I can't think of it right now.
thanks
Simon

Just to add a similar suggestion to Simon's first one--the ability to apply the "replace metadata" or "append metadata" function to a folder and the contents of its subfolders would save countless hours for those of us who handle thousands of images on a daily basis.
