SAP Support from SAP

Hello,
I have SAP Solution Manager with working SAPOSS and SAP Router connection (to SAPSERV3) and need support from SAP.
Therefore I created the SAP Message, opened the system and created the appropriated user
Unfortunately it is not possible to log in to the SAP system.
My question:
How can the SAP R/3 Support connection could be established and tested?
Thank you very much!

Official Support from SAP on Support package levels

I have NW7 Dual stack system. Currently at SP10
Looking for an "official Policy" on supported SP levels from SAP, if it exists already. Please help me by providing a link that information or a document if it exists.
We are working on an ongoing infrastructure support policy for this installation.
Thanks in advance.
Vasu

You can run a certain level of support packages as long as you can live with the "deficiencies" resulting out of that. You can run on the initial installed level if you can deal with the fact, that you will need to apply a LOT of notes in case you run into an error (because of dependent notes because of the low support package level).
There may also be cases where it´s impossible to provide a correction by note (e. g. table changes) and where corrections can only be delivered by support packages.
Last but not least the law may force you to install a certain level (e. g. fiscal year change) to get the newest (and correct) data out of the system for all kinds of changes that may be necessary to comply the law.
Basically you can leave your system on a certain support package as long as you wish but it may become difficult or even impossible to give you a solution if more than an ABAP code correction is necessary.
This is especially true on dual stack systems where a change in the portal may force you to upgrade your complete backend to a certain level because there the ABAP + Java stack must be in sync --> one of the reasons why we totally avoid dual stack installations.

SAP BW HR Reporting book from SAP Press

Hi,
is there any book/documentation that explicitly covers extraction, Modeling, and Reporting concerned to SAP BW HR with good real time scenarios.
I have searched a lot in SDN, but no luck.
spent Hrs on BI content for HR, its vague for me.
Searched SAP Press, could not find anything.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi ,
Check the book from the below link from SAP Press , it covers the BI Reporting also

Leading zeros in SAP ME materials that come from SAP ERP

Hello!
When materials are transfered from the SAP ERP side via MII to SAP ME it can be observed that material numbers have leading zeros. For example a material number is created in SAP ME like 0000000123456 instead of 123456.
I think this behaviour can be changed in the XLST transformations, which are part of SAPMEINT.
Is this the usual way to fulfill the requirement "No leading zeros for SAP ME material numbers"?
It can be observed that for example the shop orders don't have the leading zeros, when they are created in SAP ME.
Of cause, when confirmations are sent back to SAP ERP the corresponding XSLT transformation adds again these '0',
it is somehow necessary for SAP ERP for the shop order lookup.
I see one disadvantage when using modified XLST transformations.
Each time a new version of SAPMEINT is deployed a check shoukld be made from our side, if there are changes in the original XSLT transformations.
So what is the statement of direction from the SAPMEINT developers?
Kr,
Erich Lind

We see the same problem for the leading zeros. There is no consistency in this case.
Also the SAPMEINT Enhanced planned order report is triggering only for material with leading zeros. In this case you can't modify anything to prevent this. No XSLT modification possible there.
Can we get any statement from SAP?!?

SAP DB recovery data, transfer from SAP to MAX DB

Hi all
I have use the SAP DB 7.4 database platform (it is very old, but maybe anyone knows or remember it)
SAP DB was installed on Windows 2000 server (32 bit DELL),after the server crash I have only backup file (hot backup with database parameters and data about 200GGb), as temporary solution I've recovered it on just desktop PC with good parameters (CORE2DUO, 16GGb RAM...) the recovery continued about 4 hours. I've tried to recovery this backup on new server (IBM) on 32bit Windows 2003 Server, but I was confused because recovery was continued about 16-20 and it still recovering very slow I dont know what the problem, maybe anyone changed OS or server version for SAP DB 7.4?
One more question, is it possible to transfer database (recovery backup) from SAP DB to MAX DB?
Thanks.

If your SAP instance running on above platform ? If yes, Whats the SAP release you have.

What is the server configuration on IBM server. How much RAM and CPU does it have.

SAP GRC 10 - PSS Access from SAP ECC System

I have configured Password Self Service in GRC System and is working perfectly fine for all password resets if access provided to NWBC from GRC System.
We have requirement to provide end users to reset password using SAP ECC System only. I have tried to access NWBC using SAP ECC System but is giving me error that Menu not configured or roles not assigned.
Currently Maintain Data Sources is configured as below
User Search Data Sources , User Detail Data Sources & User Authentication Data Sources set to ECC Connector and End User Vertification Set to yes.We are not using LDAP / Active Directory for the User Search Database and instead ECC Only
Can anyone provide the roles to be assigned in SAP ECC System to access NWBC - Password Reset .

Hi Anil,
In support to Colleen's comments, It seems that you have not configured the USER on the End User Services. You need to make sure that the guest user (not available in GRC) is configured in each of the 10 services in SICF for the end user Login Pages to work.
Here are the 10 required services to be activated:
1.)GRAC_OIF_MY_PROFILE_EU
2.)GRAC_GAF_NAME_CHANGE_SERV_EU
3.)GRAC_POWL_REQUEST_STATUS_EU
4.)GRAC_GAF_PWD_SELFSERVICE_EU
5.)GRAC_OIF_USER_REGISTER_EU
6.)GRAC_GAF_ACCREQ_WITH_REQREF_EU
7.)GRAC_OIF_REQUEST_SUBMISSION_EU
8.)GRAC_GAF_ACCREQ_WITH_TEMPL_EU
9.)GRAC_GAF_ACCREQ_WITH_USEREF_EU
10.)GRAC_UIBB_END_USER_LOGIN
You can refer note#http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1628387
If the user is not present in GRC system then, they have to go with end-user-logon page to reset their passwords where you can always define the user authentication configurations.

Session not released in backend SAP when executing CR iView from SAP Portal

Hi,
We are in the process of doing some testing. One behavior we have observed is that user sessions are being built up in the backend SAP. Eventually, the next CR execution runs into problem.
We are running the Crystal Reports using an iView in the SAP EP. The iView is delivered by as included with the Integration Kit.
We have modified different time-outs on the BOE server. We are still having the same problem.
Is there something we can do in the portal or the iView to terminate the sessions?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Ingo, Thank you again for your response and support. Well, the suggestion would be fine if our users would only be satisfied with static data. They normally run the report and expect the latest data from the backend SAP system.
To clarify your points, the user is not running reports at the same time. What the user is doing is this.
- The user runs a report in the portal. As you hae indicated, there is a session against SAP system.
- Once the report is completed, the user runs the next report, and so on.
Each time, the session remains in SAP system. Eventually, I would see a long list of sessions in SAP.
It seems that when the user is clicking on the next report in the portal, the session for the previous report run is not being terminated.
I'm looking for a way to terminate the session at the completion of the report run.
Thansk,
Garry

SAP Module sapnwrfc: Retrieving data from SAP using RFC

I'm sorry, if I'm asking about something that's obvious in SAP. I need to develop a perl application in a remote server that will receive a requisition from an abap application.
I'm using the SAP Module sapnwrfc. I connect to SAP Gateway with no errors and execute the function sapnwrfc::installFunction (no errors returned) but I can't find the transaction in SAP. Anybody has some document about configurations that I need to do in sap ? Or anybody could see the code above and tell me what is wrong?

Timo,
I included the code in the VO and in my bean, I was able to generate this code snippet:
public String GetParamterSetup() {
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("applyParamVOCriteria");
        operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("vcodetype", codeType);
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
        System.out.println(result);
        if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
            return null;
        return null;
I was able to get the result from the System.out.println. It returns null when there is no match. However, I want to return the entire row or have access to that attribute. For instance if I have 'GB011' what the system will display for me is 'viewrow [oracle.jbo.Key[GB011 ]]'
Pls, how can I have access to individual attributes like ParamSetup.codeType, ParamSetuo.MainCode etc...

SAP PI 7.3 Upgrade from SAP PI 7.11

Dear all,
Just a small clarification on PI 7.3 upgrade.
In the document, Decision making factors when moving to SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.3 - Upgrade or New
Installation with Phase-out, it is mentioned that
If you plan on taking advantage of the performance benefits of the Advanced Adapter Engine
Extended (AEX), please be aware that there is no upgrade path to move your existing PI to a
java-only AEX. This includes the AAE (Advance Adapter Engine) available with PI 7.1 and PI
7.11. The AAE is the runtime for the AEX but the AEX is more than just the AAE and the AAE
*cannot be upgraded to an AEX*
The second exception is if you are planning on moving scenarios to the AEX that you currently have
running on the AAE. This will require a new installation of the AEX (as stated earlier, the AAE cannot
be upgraded to an AEX) and a change to the configuration of the AAE scenarios
I am just littel bit confused with above statments. My case is as below.
We have SAP PI 7.1 EHP 1 (i.e) SAP PI 7.11 with ABAP and AAE. Most of our interfaces are in AAE and now planning to upgrade to PI 7.3 with both stack (i.e) ABAP and Advanced adapter engine Extended.
My questions are,
1) Can we upgrade our PI to PI 7.3 with both stacks? i don't want to install a new system
2) the above two points are valid if we want to have java only AEX. am i correct

BlackBerry Browser Channel Push from SAP Portal

I have posted the following on blackberry forums, not much success, maybe some portal person can suggest how to move forward. I've taken some standard blackberry java code that pushes a web page to a blackberry device, and executed from my java vm and it works. I then put the same java code inside an AbstractPortalComponent, and executed from portal, it does not work. Read following posting on blackberry forums ...
I am attempting to implement a simple Browser Channel Push from within SAP Portal server.
I have successfully executed standard code from my local Java VM. I get the custom icon on my blackberry device, and when I click on it, it loads the web page from device cache.
I have moved the exact same code into a SAP wrapper method and executed from SAP Portal. There are no additions in my code relating to the push.
I get the custom icon on my blackberry, but when I click on it, a http request is performed every time.
Below is the MDS log for the successful push, from local java:

The differences I see:
1) The push from SAP has 15 headers compared to 13
2) The Sending and Receiving SIZE values
Can you assist me with identifying why these differences are occurring.
If I can solve these, I believe my Push from SAP will work.

hi
You can use UME API and do a force login, but I would recommend to use this only if the user is an authenticated user.
request.setAttribute(ILoginConstants.LOGON_UID_ALIAS, "userID");
UMFactory.getLogonAuthenticator().logon(request,response,"uidpwdlogon");
you can also do a force logon using
UMFactory.getAuthenticator().forceLoggedInUser(request, response);

No tables found Importing from SAP

Hi,
I'm trying to use OWB (10.2.0.1) SAP Connector to import data from SAP.
I created a location and tested it with success, but when I try to import some metadata, nothing shows up. The RFC user have all rights, but no error is displayed and no tables appear.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
RF

Hi Ricardo,
on my laptop I installed
•     Oracle DB 10gR2 and OWB 10gR2 (+OWB patch 10.2.0.3)
•     Oracle DB 11g (including OWB11g)
In both cases, I copied the three required Sap library files to the paths mentioned in the documentation, (I also copied librfc32.dll to <windows>\system32)
and included those paths in PATH env. Variable,
and tried to connect to a Sap instance we have “in house” for testing purposes (not customer’s system).
In both cases, SAP Location definition failed:
•     10gR2: I get the following error message
Class com/sap/mw/jco/JCO$Client is missing.
     This is strange: before upgrading to 10.2.0.3 I was able to connect to SAP,
The problem was that I did not get any list of tables during Import Metadata from Sap
•     11g: I get the following error message
Some Location Details are missing.
Please verify the location information is completely specified.
     even though I filled all required location information (user, password, application server, system number, client number, language)
In both cases, I checked the Jar file is ok: I also invoked the command “java – jar <path+filename>” and it correctly showed the “about” window.
Any clue ?
Thanks,
Silvio

How to access the ORACLE APPS table structures from SAP

Hi Experts,
How to access the ORACLE APPS table structures from SAP? Is it possible from SAP?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Hi Silviya,
you can access this database using a technique called DB Multiconnect - sometimes written as multi-connect.
Search the SAP documentation and notes for this term and you will find how to do it.
Essentially you configure the remote database connection via transaction DBCON.
If your SAP system is not running on Oracle you will need to install the db-specific kernel files for Oracle along with the Oracel db client software - SQL*Net.
Then you can access the Oracle database from ABAP using native-SQL. It works a treat!
Cheers
