  • SAP DDIC support for Index - Limitation of 16 fields

    As some of you know DB2 Index advisor at times recommends indexes with more than 16 fields, Unfortunately SAP doesn't support it creating them from SAP DDIC level (SE11).
    We had a recent issue in OLTP system where BW extractor on FAGLFLEXT wasn't performing as expected for a delta run. SAP OSS Support wasn't of much help. We already had an index on TIMESTAMP field, unfortunately the SQL generated by BW Delta run wasn't using TIMESTAMP field for the DELTA run. DB2advisor recommended index for the bad sql resolved the issue for us.
    Is there a DB6 DBSL related profile parameter to remove the max index field limitation ?

    Thanks Frank as always for quick response.
    I have also got an official response from SAP DDIC Development team
    Here are the details for others who want to know -
    Regarding your question why DDIC supports only up to 16 index fields:
    Our applications are supposed to run on several database platforms.
    In order to guarantee portability of applications across all of these
    DB platforms, we have to set the limits accordingly. Unfortunately,
    there is at least one platform that does only support up to 16
    index fields and thus we cannot support more in the DDIC. We can only
    increase this limit when all supported DB versions - and this might be
    very old ones because we cannot force customers to always migrate to
    the newest DB version - support this.

  • SAP XI support SFTP and FTPS?

    Hi Gurus,
      I would like to find out if SAP XI supports both SFTP and FTPS. If yes, how do I perform the configuration?
    Thanks in advance.

    Business Case:
    In many implementations Business requirement is to "secure" the file/data transfer between XI and any third-party system. So there is a need of secured connection between XI/PI and any file based third-party legacy systems.
    Following solutions are proposed to cater secure connection between XI/PI and any third party systems.
    1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
    "SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
    2) FTPS (FTP over SSL)
    FTPS (FTP-SSL) is a real ftp that uses TSL/SSL to encrypt the control session and if required the data session. With FTPS, the control session is always encrypted, but the data session may not be always encrypted. FTPS is a file transport layer on top of SSL. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a method by which an encrypted u2018pipe' or tunnel is established between the FTP client and FTP server. Once the secure tunnel has been established (which is done using 128-bit encryption techniques), standard FTP is used to transfer data over the secure connection.
    Feasibility of SFTP and FTPS in XI:
    SFTP:
    As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
    So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
    Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
          File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
    Outbound Interface u2013 i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
          XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
    Pre-Requisites:
    Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
    UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
    Advantages:
    Highly Secured.
    Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
    Disadvantages:
    Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
    Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
    Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
    Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
    Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
    Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
    SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
    Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
    Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job u2018or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.
    FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Using SSL/TLS):
    This is a built-in feature of File adapter in XI. But SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit must be deployed as a prerequisite. (Refer to note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821267 Question 28). By default following ports are used:
    Implict FTPs 990 (Control) and 989 (Data)
    Explicit FTPs 21 (Control) and 20 (Data)
    Both use cases can be combined with active and passive mode.
    Advantages:
    Direct transfer of files to/from third-party systems. It is not required to store the files in the XI server temporarily.
    Built-In feature from XI File adapter
    No extra effort in development and maintenance of Unix Script.
    Centralized Monitoring tool from XI
    FTPS uses certificates and therefore can take advantage of "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities. This paradigm makes it possible for two entities to establish a trust relationship without directly exchanging security information, which is important for some applications.
    Disadvantages:
    Requires opening multiple ports forenabling SSLin the firewall. So there are multiple holes in the corporate firewall.
    Not every FTP server supports FTPS and many that do, require a configuration change to activate the FTPS protocol extension.
    Cryptographic toolkit should be installed in XI system though it is not very complex or expensive.
    Conclusion:
    Though SFTP seems more secure as it works through one port, FTPS is easier to configure, monitor and maintain from XI point of view. However, the decision depends on many parameters like, cost/effort, flexibility in use, ease of maintenance, company security policy, failure possibilities etc.

    Yes, SAPHTTPA (runs on application server) and/or SAPHTTP (runs on front-end pc), one of which, is required for HTTP communication.  So far, nothing too elaborate as far as SOAP goes, but the logic is simplistic.  Here's some sample code:
      DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'.
      TRANSLATE HOST TO LOWER CASE.
      MYURL = 'wssrvTest/Service.asmx/GetByOrderItem'.
      CONCATENATE HOST MYURL INTO MYURL.
      REQUEST_HEADERS-DATA = 
                  'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.
      APPEND REQUEST_HEADERS.
      CLEAR REQUEST_HEADERS.

  • Does SAP HANA supports JCo to call BAPI RFC's and to receive IDocs?

    Hi,
    We are using a WSO2 ESB to integrate our SAP 4.7 version system with SalesForce.com and as part of this integration we use JCo libraries to receive IDoc's and to execute RFC's from ESB.
    This year we are planning to migrate our SAP environment to SAP HANA and wondering if SAP HANA supports the JCo libraries? or is there any changes in the implementation how we use JCo libraries?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Does SAP SRM support accelarated service procurement?

    Dear Guru's ,
    Can you comment on if SAP SRM supports accelerated service procurement ? My client follows the below business process time to time:
    While requiring to perform emergency services (which are also not high valued service), they directly create service entry sheet entering the service performed and create invoice against it in their existing MM system. They donot go for purchase creation and approval process as the effort does not justify the value of the transaction.
    Now, since they are going for SAP SRM system, they want to transfer the accelerated service procurement process to SRM system as well.
    Does SAP SRM support this business process i.e. creation of service entry sheet or confirmation without any reference to Purchase Order? I donot have any system to check it from myside..
    Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi
    In Std SRM - GR is always is done with reference to Purchase Order
    Therefore it is not possible to post GR or Services without any PO

  • Does E71 (RM-346) support PBAP? If yes, with which...

    Dear Friends,
    i've carefully searched the Nokia Discussion forums for the above question, and so far there's no authoritative response. One lucky Nokia E71 owner was able to get phonebook synchronization with his (Audi?), but in many other cases the results were unsuccessful.
    The device specs on Nokia Forum also do not list PBAP as a supported profile of the E71
    I have an E71 (RM-346), with firmware 400.21.013. In all my tests thus far with my Nissan QQ 2010 head unit (Daewoo AGC-0070RF), i was able only once to successfully transfer the phonebook to the head unit (extremely fast). Despite my many attempts, even by unpairing/pairing, i never managed to get the (phonebook transfer) to work.
    I also tested with my company C7-00, which officially supports PBAP. It's working fine with the QQ head unit, and phonebook transfer happens extremely fast, every time the handset and the head-unit establish the (authorized) BT connection.
    So, i'm desperately looking for an authoritative response here - does the E71 (RM-346) support PBAP, and if yes - with which firmware version?
    Thank you all...
    Paris

    @ aspergerguy: Thank you very much for your fast response.
    I had checked this thread in detail, and unfortunately it does not provide a conclusive answer. It is one of the few answers stating that E71 works with Audi cars - albeit using HSP, whereas other threads are negative on E71 working with BMW/Volvos, and are also negative about the availability of PBAP on the E71.
    In my successful experiment, which - again - only worked once and managed to sync my Phonebook's 522 contacts to the Nissan Head Unit in a few seconds, was based on the following setup:
    - PC Suite Sync (profile) installed on the E71 device, and successfuly sync'ing all my data to my Windows 7 x64 system using PC Suite 7 on the laptop. Connection = Bluetooth
    - Sync profile on the E71 configured to allow server-initiated sync requests (in our case here, server = car Head Unit), and configured to always accept the sync requests without a prompt.
    - most probably the sync was successful, due to the Head Unit software managing to pull the data from the PC Suite-based sync profile over Bluetooth. In other words, that was probably a lucky shot for me.
    All subsequent efforts with this setup were unsuccessful - you can see the sync starting on the E71 device once BT conn is established by the car head unit, but the sync is canceled right away.
    So, let's see if we can get an authoritative answer on the PBAP availability on the E71 (and specific firmware for that), as it appears that Nokia handsets that do have this profile, work fine with phonebook sync to the car head unit...
    Thanks again.

  • What SAP component support Flash Island in Web Dynpro for ABAP?

    Hi  Experts,
    What SAP component support Flash Island in Web Dynpro for ABAP? I don't find flash island control to place it in the view.
    Thanks,
    Duy

    FlashIsland is a native UI element like table or image - not a reusable component like ALV.  What release level is your system?  FlashIsland is only available on NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 and higher.
    Also the FlashIsland UI element must be a root UI element. Therefore it has be created in its own view.  Right mouse click on the ROOTUIELMENT in the UI element hierarchy and choose Swap UI Element Definition.

    It is not possible to directly call a web service from SAP 4.6c.
    Indeed, web service enablement is available as from Web AS 6.20, thus as from SAP R/3 4.7
    So as described above, the solution is indeed to make use of PI(XI) for this.

    *So anySupport Guru out thr,can u pls let me knw wat r the general queries handled or solved by a SAP HR Support Consultant n wat r those queries which i hav concentrate more on.
    If u can give ur contact details with the suggestion it wl b appreciated, so tat i can contact you for more details.
    Thanks in Advance
    Pradeep

    Hi Pradeep,
    I think you might have got the scenario regarding the support project.Hence I want to give some inputs.
    Support itself gives the meanning what our role is ..! And we , being a support consultant have to solve the issues that has been arised to end users or to the business.
    It all depends on the end users ( if they are been trained well then issues will be less) and the implementation consultant( if he had implemented with utmost care and with proper documentation).
    Most of the issues will be from end users who dont know how to import or how to enter data.And if they see any error message also, they will raise a ticket (issues tracker).
    Also some times we will get payroll related issues where we have to act very fast and resolve the issue cause it will impact the payroll.
    And on a daily basis , issues may be on OM as they can be related to structural authorizations or any data related problem..
    So i can say , it all depends on Client and the end user and also based on the Business.
    Do let me know if you are not satisfied or still have any queries .
    Regards,
    Sri
    Reward if satisfied.......
