SAP and snapshot

Hi,
Does SAP officially support MS SQL snapshot technology (MS SQL Server 2008 R2) ? I haven't found any OSS Notes pro nor con about this feature - like there are Notes about Oracle flashback.
Sharing any practical experiences or possible problems to watch out for, would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Srinivasan,
I have read that page before I posted and I didn't see any official info about this.
To guess what you were referring to, towards the end of the page, I see the following:
"A good starting point to analyze why certain actions hang is creating snapshots of the current situation with hangman. "
If this is what you referred to, I assume you just hit CTRL+F on the site and searched for the word snapshot. Hangman is not of interest here. The use of word 'snapshot' is not the Snapshot feature of MS SQL I'm talking about. I appreciate you want to help but please be more specific.
Thank you

Recreate SAP and database services in Windows

Hi!
I'm running my sandbox in a wmware enviroment and yesterday the C: partion got corrupted and I managed to "save" the other drives where the SAP and database are installed.
Is there any way to recreate the SAP and database services in another Windows installation? (manually or automatically)
That way I don't need to reinstall the whole system....and no there is no backup or snapshot since the system is not complete.
But if I get the database to start I should be able to do a backup and then do a new installation and import the backup!?
Thanks for any input
rollo

What is the database platform?
If it is SQL Server try attaching the data & log files to another instance SQL instance at the same release & patch level, if that works the database is intact so recovery should be possible.
From there rebuild your vmware box and treat the SAP install as though you are doing a 'system copy' so -
-Install & patch Win2003
-Install & patch SQL Server
-Install a 'blank' SAP Central Instance & update kernel
-Attach SQL database
-Use the SAP's SQL Migration tools to prepare DB & instance
-cross fingers & startsap
-make a backup
Check out http://servcie.sap.com/instguides for the System Copy guide that matches your release
If that helps please reward points

Using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems

hi,
using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems,
then what is diff b/w ALE and EDI

Hello KALYAN KUMAR,
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
1.You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems.
2.ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
3.ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
1.You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor).
2. The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12).
3. This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message
I hope u understands the difference:)

SSO for SAP and Non-SAP applications without Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
Is it possible to implement SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without involvement of EP at all?
I have gone through this link.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm</a>
But I still i am not able to get the precise answer on how to enable SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without EP.
We have decided not to implement EP in first phase of SAP implementation. But we need to enable SSO for other SAP and Non-SAP applications.
A detailed description on how to deal this kind of scenarios will be helpful.
Thanks.

A client of our's uses SAP Enterprise Portal, and is using the SAP SSO, which is implemented with tickets, and requires the use of SAPSECULIB. My company provides an application for this client, and our application in hosted in our data center for the client, as a Software as a Service application, obviously across the internet. Our client, which owns a SAP license, has asked that we support the SAP SSO as a non-SAP SSO application. The client user's SSO ticket will be created from SAP EP, and then passed across the internet to our application, and we are to use that SSO ticket as an authentication ticket to our application. I beleive I know how to do this work technically, having reviewed the SAP document named: "Dynamic Library for Verifying SSO Tickets in Third-Party Software" Specification Version 2.00 December 2005.
My question is, does my company have the right to use the SAPSECULIB? Where is the official download and license download, that indicates we can download this library, and use it to support a SAP customer? We do not own a SAP license. Thank you for your help. I have searched many places in SAP support.

Data Reconciliation b/w SAP and BW

Hi Experts,
We have some BW reports for FI-CA for cleared items and the values on BW are less than what we have in the SAP Table.I tried reloading the data but it didn't helped.How can I resolve this data inconsistency b/w SAP and BW? Please advice
Thanks in Advance
Renny

Dear Renny,
1) Identify the data source used
2) Use transaction RSA3 in BW and R/3 for this datasource.
3) Try to test data for a month say May 2007
4) If it is the same, may be you are not using proper selection conditions in the Infopackage.
If it helps even a bit, do allocate *points

How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

Hi,
How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving the message that Incorrect logon and password.
(Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
-B S B

Hi again:
I forget to tell.
You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
Hope this wil help,
Eric

Data to be fetched from legacy system to SAP and doc needs to bee posted

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where my client is using some application in Legacy system(Fuel Software) which receives fuel(Petrol, Deasel, CNG) in system and issue the same to company owned vehicles and wants that sap should be integrated and document also needs to be posted in sap for all the receivings and isssuences against their vehicles.
Process Designed is:
1. Required Data file will be picked from legacy system with some date stamp and will be placed in sap directory.
2. There will be batch job which will check for new file based on date stamp.
3. Will pick record n will pass to Goods_mvt_create bapi and then will post the document.
4. We have created Vehicles as Internal orders in sap and whenever any issue will be there internal order no will be captured.
5. By this way we are receiving and issuing in sap.
Now my problem is i am stuck in designing step 1 and rest 2,3,4,5 steps have already been designed and working fine. Need your help in step 1. Else you may suggest some better way-out but again want to mention rest steps are already mapped
Thanks in advance..

Hi Ashutosh,
You can use functions:
FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3
FTP_COMMAND
FTP_COMMAND_LIST
FTP_CONNECT
FTP_COPY
FTP_DISCONNECT
FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
FTP_START_REG_SERVER
FTP_START_SAPFTP
FTP_STOP_REG_SERVER
FTP_VERSION
which allow you to connect from SAP ERP to any FTP server (if the legacy has it). You can validate the sample program RSFTP007.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.

Difference between 'materialized vews' and snapshots

Hello,
i have two questions:
what the difference between 'materialized vews' and snapshots? In fact, in create thoses Oracle Objects:
     create materialized view log on T1
     Create materialized view T1_MV
          Build immediate
          Refresh fast on commit
          As Select COL1,COL2 from T1
     Create snapshot T1_SNAPSHOT
     Build immediate
     Refresh fast on commit
     As Select COL1,COL2 from T1
and in find that T1_MV and T1_SNAPSHOT have the same caracteristics in dba_tables and DBA_SNAPSHOTS and DBA_MVIEWS.
seconde question: what's the difference between DBA_SNAPSHOTS
and DBA_MVIEWS tables?
I work under oracle 9i
thinks for response.

Backwards compatibility. Some apps might reference DBA_SNAPHOTS and it would be a PITA to change them. Eventually Oracle might decide that it's a greater PITA for them to keep those views and ditch 'em.

HI,
do you have some information about communication between non SAP and ERP (WebAs) SAP System ?
I would like to receive an xml file or xml IDoc from a Java Plattform (non SAP) into our SAP ERP System as an own defined IDoc.
remember: we don´t have a converter like XI.
What about using a proxy (do you have some information/blog how to use that) ?
What about using a webservice (do you have some information/blog how to use that) ?
What about storing the xml on the application server (do you have some information/blog how to use that) ?
How to transform xml to IDoc ?
other methods ?
Thanks for your help.

Here is a link to connecting MS SQL Server with SAP using Open Hub connection.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd299430(SQL.100).aspx
This might give you some insight into connecting with Non SAP Systems.
I have used the information from this link to export data from SAP to MS SQL Server.
Good Luck.

Upload Opening balance of G/L accounts from legacy system to SAP, and also

Hi Gurus,
How to upload Opening balance of G/L accounts from legacy system to SAP, and also Vendor and Customer balance.
My Doubt is when you upload the customer balance and vendor balance will it effect the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account if not the how will the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account will be posted with the balance. Please send me the general entry passed for posting the same.
What I understood is that when we are uploading the customer and vendor balances through LSMW, no entry will be passed and it will update the customer and vendor sub ledger in FBL1N and FBL5N but it will not affect the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account.
To give effect to sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account we need to manually pass a journal entry as follows.
1) Sundry debtors account A/c -
DR
      TO clearing account A/c
2)     clearing account A/c -
dr
     Sundry creditor account A/c
Please let me know whether iam correct
Also please tell me what will be the scenario for uploading of the assets balances through LSMW.
THANKS AND REGARDS
MV

Hi,
     When you uploading any data from legacy system to sap normally we will be using LSMW or BDC,thru this we will be uploading master data like G/L,vendor,Customer and asset master these are the some examples and we will upload transaction data also that is P&L Account and Balance sheet.When we do uploading data thru LSMW system will update all the values of vendor,customer and asset values as well as subsidary ledger also.No need to do manully.

Scrapbook and Snapshots screensavers no longer work after Yosemite upgrade

Upgraded to Yosemite and discovered that the Scrapbook and Snapshots screensaver modules don't work now. Here's how they appear in my screensaver preference pane:
The Scrapbook screensaver doesn't work at all; the Snapshots screensaver will load but isn't fully functional - it only displays a single photo at a time, it doesn't show the background photos any more. Snapshots was my preferred screensaver too. Any thoughts besides a clean reinstallation of Yosemite?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
500 GB Flash storage
Intel Iris 1536 MB

I saw, from a clean install of Yosemite of a friend, that these two screensavers are not there.
Probably I have brought them back from Snow Leopard.
I would like to remove them from the list of screensaver (or recharge the list of default screensaver), you know if it is possible and how?
I thought I would delete the file screensaver.plist, but I would not combine damage.
Thank you and hello

SAP* and DDIC passwords for new clients in Sol Man 4.0

Hello all,
I just recently finished a Solution Manager 4.0 on Windows 2003 server box. Then, I performed some of the post installation steps until I had to create a new client. So, I went to scc4 and created a new client. When trying to get access to this new client through SAP*, the default password did not work and the entries were not created in the table usr02. Also, I tried to insert the missing entries into the usr02 table, but had no success after all.
I hope some of you can help on this, because I am stucked on it.
Regards,
Luis Alberto Zeró

Hi guys ..
i thing you can check in Document Installation guide Solution manager on Page 108
If you install a new ABAP or ABAP+Java system, in most cases you do not need to perform the client copy for
the ABAP stack. SAPinst creates three ABAP clients during the installation, client 000, client 001, and client 066.
You can use client 001 for production.
The following procedure describes how to perform a client copy manually. We recommend that you
use client 001 as source client.
Caution
If you want to use a client other than the default of 001 as your production client, you have to reconnect
the Java part to the production client as described in SAP Note 937323.
Procedure
1. Maintain the new client with transaction SCC4.
2. Activate kernel user SAP*:
 a) Set the profile parameter
 Login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 0.
 b) Restart the application server.
3. Log on to the new client with kernel user SAP* and password PASS.
4. Copy the client with transaction SCCL and profile SAP_CUST.
5. Check the log files with transaction SCC3.
6. Deactivate kernel user SAP*:
 a) Reset login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 1.
Caution
 You create SAP system user SAP* on the new client
 before resetting
login/no_automatic_user_sapstar.
 b) Restart the application server.
