SAP BASIS for beginner with database (Oracle/DB2) background

Hi ,
I am basically from Oracle/DB2 database background , the place I am currently working is mainly using SAP, I also have interest in learning ERP so would like to start learning SAP BASIS and write some certification exams, but not sure from where to start , looks like it is very hard to get some guidence until you join some training institute , could someone please guide which certification best suits me as a beginner ?
Kind Regards,
Chaitanya

Thanks for your inputs Antonio.
All,
Any help with respect to identifying right certification much appreciated.
As I am from database background I see either of these 2 will suit my career (may be I am wrong !! pls correct ) but not sure about the difference between these two please suggest.

Hi Nilanchal,
As per my knowledge there are numerous openings in BASIS area. Post your CV on various job portal and search for job over there. You can also contact different placment consultancy located in Mumbai for you help. Also visit career section of SAP if there is any opening. There are many companies in Mumbai/Pune which are in SAP domain and there must be openings for BASIS guys. I doubt that anyone here can provide you name of the company where openings are.
The best way is job portal to look for openings.
All the best.

Configuration of XSQL for use with non-Oracle dbs

If anyone has positive experiences with configuring XSQL for use with non Oracle databases I'd like to hear how they did it, see tutorials, configuration files, etc.
Specifically setting up to use MySQL or Postgresql on Linux/FreeBSD would be very interesting.
Also, does anyone use this without setting mime types? How would you go about this so you could point to the relevant servlets in the page?
Josh

I don't understand how setting up for Non-Oracle DB's is related to not setting up the servlet as an extension-mapped servlet.
It might work, but would you run JSP's
that way? XSQL behaves very similiarly
inside to how a JSP runner works, which
wants to be servlet-mapped.
However, OAS 4.0.8.1 does not support
extension mapping and XSQL works there
so i'm assuming it would work on other
servers set up that way. It's not
a configuration we test/certify.

How to SELECT FOR UPDATE with CMP (Oracle)

The most common database (Oracle) by default uses a scheme that does not fit into any of those isolation levels. A SELECT statement selects data at the start of the transactions, whereas a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE does something quite different. It is essential to do SELECT FOR UPDATEs before updating the row as SELECT does no lock. It's a hack that works well in practice.
1. Which isolation level is this?
2. More fundamentally, how an earth is it possible to use this scheme with CMP?! You would have to distinguish load() from loadForUpdate()! Is CMP inconsistent with Oracle?
This is a pretty big whole in the CMP spec!

No. thats no goes well.
Transaction serializable in Oracle uses a optimistic
concurrency system. And for update is a
pessimistic concurrency.
With optimistic: the system is faster but it can fail
With pessimistic: if doesnt fail (usually;)
You can solve the proble with many differents systems:
1. Edit the .xml descriptor files ans change the sql sentences.
And my prefer one.
2. Make a new jdbc driver that inherits from the original
oracledriver.
The new driver give u in "getConnection()" a new connection class that inherits from the original connection.
The executestatement and preparestatement adds the
string "for update" if the stattement was starting by select.
Configure your container to use the new driver.

SAP Basis/Abap components with diff Version inEnterprise Service Builder

Dear Experts,
We have PI 7.4 system in our environment, when i check content in ESR, i have found different versions components as below.
SAP ABA 7.30
SAP BASIS 7.02 & SAP BASIS 7.40
I would like to know, since system is 7.4 version, do I need to maintain SAP ABA & Basis with 7.4 content only. Would there be any impact on developments/Models which are done using above version of ESR Content if I upload 7.40 Version content.
If I am not wrong developments/Models done with above versions would work with 7.40 too, but keen on to know what would be impact if I upload
7.40 Content in system.
Is there any possibility migrate developments/models/object to *tpz from above versions to 7.40 , if required.
I have checked SAP Note 1632370 - Maintenance of ESR Content (XI Content),SAP Note 1865292 - SAP NetWeaver 7.4: Import of ESR-Content,
and also link Importing ESR Content - Configuring Process Integration (PI) After Installation - SAP Library
still i dont see any information related to PI 7.4
SAP Note 1632370 has attachment where it only provides 7.30 version related ESR information.
Regards
ks

Hi Giridharan,
Thanks for reply.
I have gone through sap note 1868799 - SAP Basis ESR content versions after PI upgrade had clarified my questions.
There is no issue with seeing multiple versions of the SAP Basis content in the ESR or in the Integration Builder.
The Communication Channels will continue to work as normal using the old SAP Basis version.
The SAP Basis content contains the Adapter Metadata.
New adapter features are delivered with this Adapter Metadata.
If you have no business requirement to use any new features, then you don't need to make any changes to the existing channel configurations.
If you do have a requirement to use any new features, then you will need to change from the pre-upgrade version to the new PI version.
New channels can use either the older SAP Basis versions or the new SAP Basis version (it makes more sense to use the newer version).
Regards

[b]How can i connect with database(oracle 9i) from form developer at runtim

Hi Friends,
My problem is as follows, please show me a way.
Let's asume, I have form (developed in 6i) which has database data block. Now, at form level a have assigned on_logon trigger and I have written the following PL/SQL statement in that trigger:
begin
null;
end;
So, when I run this form without connecting to database It does not prompt for a connection. Now I have button lebeled as "Connect" in this form, when user will click on it it will display a window having text boxes to enter user name, password and database name; once the user fill those text boxes and click on a button lebeled as "Ok" then the form runtime environment should be connected with database as per information provided by user. Here to mention that the user already been created, only the connection will be stablished. For example: I want to connect the form with database as "scott/tiger@oradata9i".
To do this, what PL/SQL command statement should i write in that "OK" button's "when_button_pressed" trigger?
If any of you know about this please help me.

Hi
I've answered this question already. If I understand you right, you can use 'LOGON' built-in of Forms. Take a look into documentation.

Problem with default oci driver with database ORACLE 8.1.7

Presently our application is using weblogic 5.1 with oracle 8.1.6 database. Our

8.1.6 to 8.1.7. By using above shared library we are getting following error.

For Oracle 8.1.7 do we need to any other library other than oci815_8. If so can
you send those details

Looks like you are using Oracle OCI driver and not WebLogic OCI driver so
you really dont need the libweblogicoci36.so file in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH. Also your properties below show that you are using
thin driver url and then also oci8 url, check you connection pool setting
properly and may be try getting the latest oracle drivers.
If you are trying to use weblogic jDrivers make sure your pool properties
are set right.

Need avice..for beginner with FCP

I captured all my footage, however when wanted to start editing it asked me to render first which I did. But after I wanted to play my footage in the canvas it told me that some clips were dropped. I reset my canvas on "Full Window" and I was able to see my image on the canvas however the picture was very small - half size of the canvas which makes it really hard to see.
When I zoom in the picture it either has a terrible quality or it does not work at all and I can only hear the audio.
Any ideas what I did wrong on settings? Did I maybe made a mistake in shooting the footage wrong?
Please help..since i'm a beginner (first time my own FCP studio at home) and I don't have much of an idea how to avoid dropped frames and setting my system.
Thanks!!

Welcome to the world of FCP.
First and foremost, you'll find it to be very helpful to use the search feature of this forum for basic question. There's a wealth of knowledge available by doing a simple search.
For example, a common problem people often encounter when first learning FCP is the need to render clips when they place them in a Sequence. That question gets asked several times a week - so the answer you seek is already here. But to save a bit of time, I'll tell you the most common reason; you're clip's setting do not match your FCP Sequence settings. Anytime that happens, you'll need to render. It would be best to either convert your clip to match the Sequence settings or to create a new Sequence with the setting that will match you clips.
But after I wanted to play my footage in the canvas it told me that some clips were dropped<<</div>
Are you certain it didn't say "dropped frames" instead of "dropped clips"?
When I zoom in the picture it either has a terrible quality or it does not work at all and I can only hear the audio<<</div>
You cannot upscale video without pixelization and degradation that way. Keep the Canvas an Viewer windows at "Fit to Window" or smaller for proper playback.
I don't have much of an idea how to avoid dropped frames and setting my system<<</div>
See this post from earlier today: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=893958&tstart=0 Just another example of how searching can help you.

Best Practices for JDBC with RAC Oracle Thin Driver non-XA Weblogic

Does anyone have experience on setting up your application server's JDBC connection pools for RAC?
We are using Weblogic 10 which supports load-balancing between connection pools at the application level, but I believe the listener is load-balanced on the Oracle CRS side as well.
Is this recommended / not-recommended?

We use JDBC connection pool. However the load balance
configured at the database. JDBC uses load_balance=on
in the connection string. It works fine. I haven't
tried integrating FAN option and app server.
You may refer this doc on load balance.

SAP documentation for working with BExRepositorySheet?

Can someone point me to where I can find some documentation for programmatically working with the BExRepositorySheet, in particular reading from and writing to the embedded XML script within that sheet.
As I wrote in an earlier thread (BEx 7.0 -- SAPBEXqueries hidden sheet gone -- where is the data stored now?), what I'm trying to do is re-program a very elaborate Excel VBA solution we built for BEx 3.5 to automate the processing of BEx reports by reading the stored variable values in the SAPBEXqueries sheet, but with that sheet gone in BEx 7.0 now, and all that meta-data being stored in BExRepositorySheet XML script instead, I need to be pointed in the right direction as to how to work with the BExRepositorySheet in BEx 7.0.
Thank you kindly for any information.

Hi Stephan,
please see link [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/WhatisWebAPI|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/WhatisWebAPI] that contains a reference to a 300+ pages PDF document describing the Web API commands. It is describing the ABAP Web Runtime for BW 3.5 which also exists in BW 7.0.

Airport Extreme (n-version) as base for extending with Airport Express(old)

I have a new Airport Extreme that I need to extend - meaning need an ethernet connection on the other side of the room, but I dont want to drag a wire across. I have an extra, and old, Express but I have spent the past couple of hours trying to get it to share/extend the network. Everything seems to configure properly (and I have tried all sorts of options - even setting up a WDS which doesnt seem to work), but when I plug in to the ethernet jack - and then this to my computer - it does not see anything. Help?

You'll need to check a few settings on the AirPort Extreme because you'll need the information to configure the AirPort Express correctly.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup for the AirPort Extreme
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Jot down the exact name of your wireless network and the security setting that you have in place now. I assume that you already know your wireless network password.
Close AirPort Utility
"Hard reset" the AirPort Express (AX) by holding in the reset button on the AX until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly, keep holding the reset button when this occurs for another 4-5 seconds and then release
Connect the AX to one of the LAN <-> ports with the ethernet cable
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup for the AX. You'll be prompted to Switch networks so that you can configure the AX
Click the Base Station tab (located under the row of icons) to name your AX, establish a device password and adjust Time Zone settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
Radio Mode = 802.11 b/g
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
Wireless Password = Same password as your AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon and check these main settings
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode0
Update to save settings. Close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored. The AX will restart in 30-40 seconds. Then restart your entire network by powering everything down. Wait a moment and start the modem first, then the AirPort Extreme, then the AirPort Express and your computers and devices.
If you decide to use the powerline adapter to allow the AX to be located wherever you want, the AX is already configured to so so.

Connection pool testing for dealing with database restarts

How do you configure the app server to test JDBC connections before handing them to the application? The app server needs to accomodate database restarts while the app is running.
We have an EAR file built with ANT (we use Eclipse 3.x to develop the app) and we use the deploy tool for getting it installed on the engine at 6.40 SP15. We have setup a datasource in the project options but I don't see how to configure it so that the engine tests JDBC connections before giving them to the application. We need to guard against database restarts and other app servers that I have used have an option that takes care of this detail. I cannot get the deploy tool help to appear due to an invalid URL being requested by the tool.

Craig,
you are right, in visual admin, it appears, any options to test a poll served connection are absent.
Remedy: In tab additional
- check expiration control and set
- connection lifetime to say 60 (seconds) and
- cleanup thread to say 30
This way, you can't fully avoid, but diminish the likelihood to catch a bad connection.
Regards
Gregor
