SAP CI and DB split

Hi Experts,
Planning to do CI and DB split to an AIX + DB2 system.
CI will be moved to Linux and DB2 retained on AIX itself.
What would be the best procedure and any reference guide for the same.
kindly suggest the exact steps for ABAP/JAVA and Dual stack systems and execution method.
Thanks a ton

Hi ,
Want to separate CI alone and put it on Linux machine. DB will be on current server AIX only.
how system copy can be used?
How heterogenous/homogenous system copy can be used because there is no database planned on the Linux machine.
Please let me know the steps.
Thanks a ton

How To UPLOAD a DATA (.DAT) fiel from PC to internal table and then split it into the data different columns

Hi all,
I am new to ABAP Development. I need to upload a .DAT file (the file doesn#t have any proper structure-- Please find the .DAT file in the attachment). After uploading the DATA (.DAT) fiel I need to split in into different columns. Refering the attached .DAT fiel the fields in bracets like:
[Arbeitstag], [Pecunia], [Mita], [Kunde], [Auftrag] and [Position] are different fields that need to be arranged in columns in an internal table. this .DAT fiel which I want to upload and then SPLIT it into various fields will will treated as MASTER DATA table for further programming. The program that I had written is as below. Also please refer the attached .DAT table.
Please if any one could help me. i searched a lot in different forums but couldn't find me a solution. Also note that the attached fiel is in text (.txt) format here but in real situation the same fiel is in DATA (.DAT) format.

For every Auftrag, there are multiple Position entries.
Rest of the blocks don't seems to have any relation.
So you can check this code to see how internal table lt_str is built whose first 3 fields have data contained in Auftrag, and next 3 fields have Position data. The structure is flat, assuming that every Position record is related to preceding Auftrag.
Try out this snippet.
DATA lt_data TYPE TABLE OF string.

Unicode export:Table-splitting and package splitting

Hi SAP experts,
I know there are lot of forums related to this topic, but I have some new questions and hence posting a new thread.
We are in the process of doing unicode conversion in our landscape(CRM 7.0 system based on NW 7.01) and we are running on AIX 6.1 and DB2 9.5. The database size is around 1.5 TB and hence, we want to go in for optimization for export and import in order to reduce the downtime.As a part of the process, we have tried to do table-splitting and parallel export-import to reduce the downtime.
However, we are having some doubts whether this table-splitting has actually worked in our scenario,as the export has exeucted for nearly 28 hours.
The steps followed by us :
1.) Doing the export preparation using SAPINST
2.) Doing table splitting preparation, by creating a table input file having entries in the format <tablename>%<No.of splits>.Also, we have used the latest R3ta file and the dbdb6slib.o(belonging to version 7.20 even though our system is on 7.01) using SAPINST.
3.) Starting with the export using SAPINST.
some observations and questions:
1.) After completion of tablesplitting preparation, there were .WHR files that were generated for each of the tables in DATA directory of export location. However, how many .WHR files should be created and on what basis are they created?
2.) I will take an example of a table PRCD_CLUST(cluster table) in our environment, which we had split. We had 29 *.WHR files that were created for this particular table. The number of splits given for this table was 36 and the table size is around 72 GB.Also, we noticed that the first 28 .WHR files for this table, had lots of records but the last 29th .WHR file, had only 1 record. But we also noticed that, the packages/splits for the 1st 28 splits were created quite fast but the last one,29th one took a long time(serveral hours) to get completed.Also,lots of packages were generated(around 56) of size 1 GB each for this 29th split. Also, there was only one R3load which was running for this 29th split, and was generating packages one by one.
3.) Also,Our question here is that is there any thumb rule for deciding on the number of splits for a table.Also, during the export, are there any things that need to be specified, while giving the inputs when we use table splitting,in the screen?
4.) Also, what exactly is the difference between table-splitting and package-splitting? Are they both effective together?
If you have any questions and or need any clarifications and further inputs, please let me know.
It would be great, if we could get any insights on this whole procedure, as we know a lot of things are taken care by SAPINST itself in the background, but we just want to be certain that we have done the right thing and this is the way it should work.

Santosh Bhat

Hi,
First of all please ignore my very first response ... i have accidentally posted a response to some other thread...sorry for that
Now coming you your questions...
> 1.) Can package splitting and table-splitting be used together? If yes or no, what exactly is the procedure to be followed. As I observed that, the packages also have entries of the tables that we decided to split. So, does package splitting or table-splitting override the other, and only one of the two can be effective at a time?
Package splitting and table splitting works together, because both serve a different purpose
My way of doing is ...
When i do package split i choose packageLimit 1000 and also split out the tables (which i selected for table split) into seperate package (one package per table). I do it because that helps me to track those table.
Once the above is done i follow it up with the R3ta and wheresplitter for those tables.
Followed by manual migration monitor to do export/import , as mentioned in the previous reply above you need to ensure you sequenced you package properly ... large tables are exported first , use sections in the package list file , etc
> 2.) If you are well versed with table splitting procedure, could you describe maybe in brief the exact procedure?
Well i would say run R3ta (it will create multiple select queries) followed by wheresplitter (which will just split each of the select into multiple WHR files) ...
Best would go thought some document on table spliting and let me know if you have specific query. Dont miss the role of hints file.
> 3.) Also, I have mentioned about the version of R3ta and library file in my original post. Is this likely to be an issue?Also, is there a thumb rule to decide on the no.of splits for a table.
Rule is use executable of the kernel version supported by your system version. I am not well versed with 7.01 and 7.2 support ... to give you an example i should not use 700 R3ta on 640 system , although it works.
>1.) After completion of tablesplitting preparation, there were .WHR files that were generated for each of the tables in DATA directory of export location. However, how many .WHR files should be created and on what basis are they created?
If you ask for 10 split .... you will get 10 splits or in some case 11 also, the reason might be the field it is using to split the table (the where clause). But not 100% sure about it.
> 2) I will take an example of a table PRCD_CLUST(cluster table) in our environment, which we had split. We had 29 *.WHR files that were created for this particular table. The number of splits given for this table was 36 and the table size is around 72 GB.Also, we noticed that the first 28 .WHR files for this table, had lots of records but the last 29th .WHR file, had only 1 record. But we also noticed that, the packages/splits for the 1st 28 splits were created quite fast but the last one,29th one took a long time(serveral hours) to get completed.Also,lots of packages were generated(around 56) of size 1 GB each for this 29th plit. Also, there was only one R3load which was running for this 29th split, and was generating packages one by one.
Not sure why you got 29 split when you asked for 36, one reason might be the field (key) used for split didn't have more than 28 unique records. I dont know how is PRCD_CLUST split , you need to check the hints file for "key". One example can be suppose my table is split using company code, i have 10 company codes so even if i ask for 20 splits i will get only 10 splits (WHR's).
Yes the 29th file will always have less records, if you open the 29th WHR you will see that it has the "greater than clause". The 1st and the last WHR file has the "less than" and "greater than" clause , kind of a safety which allows you to prepare for the split even before you have downtime has started. This 2 WHR's ensures that no record gets missed, though you might have prepared your WHR files week before the actual migration.
> 3) Also,Our question here is that is there any thumb rule for deciding on the number of splits for a table.Also, during the export, are there any things that need to be specified, while giving the inputs when we use table splitting,in the screen?
Not aware any thumb rule. First iteration you might choose something like 10 for 50 GB , 20 for 100 GB. If any of the tables overshoots the window. They you can give a try by increase or decrease the number of splits for the table. For me couple of times the total export/import time have improved by reducing the splits of some tables (i suppose i was oversplitting those tables).

Multi-Mapping and Message Split using BPM

Hi All,
Could anyone pls let me know clearly how message mapping can be done for this weblog
/people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
When you are doing Message mapping after adding the Messaget types for source and target messages. You can click on the "" button in the target message and add one more tab. You can go to Message tab as shown in the 5th image and click "" button to add one more message type. Then do the mapping as usual.
Based on the value of the element(name), the node of input(details)should be directed to one of the two message types
Here in this blog it is done based on the Name.
You need to use IFTHENELSE boolean function and do the mapping.
Thanks,
Prakash

Multi mapping and message splitting in BPM

Hi ,
I am working with this scenario ...
/people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure
how many message interfaces i have to create .
one outbound , one abstract and two inbound .. is it correct.

Hi
Minimum you need to create three message interfaces i.e. Bpm_In_MI_Abstract, aBpm_Out_MI_Abstract Bpm_Out1_MI_Abstract, because abstract interfaces can be use inbound and outbound as well.
You can also use create implement it by using inbound and outbound message interfaces. In that case you have to use three additional interfaces(1 outbound and 2 inbound).

pls help
manian

Hi manian,
I was having a look to Illustration of Multi-Mapping and Message Split using BPM in SAP Exchange Infrastructure blog.
The functions are not the same. I mean, yours and blogs functions.
Each function has two parameters, Name and node. Furtheremore, in the blogs' functions is using arrays and you don't.
So, the right code will be
1.selectnodeifA
for(int i=0;i<=node.length();i++)
if(Name.equals("A"))
result.addValue(Node);
However, if you don't need an advance user defined function as you want to process just one element of the node's queue, you will not need to use for sentence.
Something like:
1.selectnodeifA
// for(int i=0;i<=n;i++)
if(Name.equals("A"))
result.addValue(Node);
Hope it is usefull for you.

What is Multi-mapping in SAP+XI and when is it used?

Hi SDN,
Can you please tell me what exactly is a multi-mapping in SAP+XI and when is it used with an example.
Regards,
Aniruddha Bhattacharya

Hi Aniruddha,
Multi mappings can be used in ccBPM which is used to map abstract interfaces. Development is the same as Message Mappings.
n:1 Transformation
Bundles multiple messages into one message, for example, individual purchase order items into one purchase order.
1:n Transformation
Splits a message into multiple messages, for example, a purchase order into the individual purchase order items.(its possible without BPM)
n:m Transformation
Converts a message into another message, for example, a message that is defined by interface A is converted to message that is defined by interface B.
Multi-Mappings reference multiple message structures:-
a) All source message structures are combined into 1 source structure.
b) All target message structures are combined into 1 target structure.
Therefore, there is only one source structure mapped to one target.
With BPM:

Can you guys please help me on getting some documents on collective Invoice and "Invoice splitting"?
Thanks and Regards

Follow the above links and it will answer basic questions about collective billing & Invoice split.
As a rule, the system combines into one billing document all transactions for the same customer, default billing date and sales organization
An order contains terms of payment at header as well as item level. These are stored only at header level in the billing document, however. If there are different terms of payment in the reference documents, an invoice split will always be made.
If data from the related reference documents differs in the item fields of the billing document, the system does not split the invoice.
The order basis is stored at header level in the order and at item level in the billing document. The system does not split the invoice. If you require an invoice split, you must first define the appropriate split requirements in Customizing for copying control. Copying control depends on the following criteria:
          o Billing Document Type
          o reference document type (i.e. type of order, delivery or billing document on which the sales document is based)
          o item category in the reference document

Is this possible: SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and ...

Hi,
I have (stupid perhaps) question.
Is this scenario possible:
SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and non-SNC connection from SAP Router to SAP System.
I know how to set up scenario like this:
SAP System --- (non-SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP GUI.
Best regards,
Marek Majchrowski

Wolfgang,
To be sure myself and Marek understand, can you confirm the different scenarios supported:
Scenario 1:
SAP GUI --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario, it would be possible for a user to logon using SAP GUI onto the SAP System, but without SAP GUI SNC.
Scenario 2:
SAP GUI --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario it would be possible to logon to the SAP System using SAP GUI, and using SNC authentication.
Also, with this scenario the SAP GUI software and SAP System software would consider this to be similar to:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- SAP System
Scenario 3:
This is the scenario mentioned by Marek in his initial question:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- saprouter1 -- (non SNC conn) -- SAP System
With this scenario it will not be possible to logon to SAP System using SNC, and only possible if the SAP GUI is configured to not use SNC. In other words the SNC connection between SAP GUI and saprouter1 is available, but cannot be used.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Paluri
Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
Regards
Ashish
Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
SAP Locks:
To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.

What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

HI Friends
What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
Regards

Hi,
SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

What is the diff b/w Sap Scripts and Smart Forms

Hi,
Whats the diff b/w SAP Scripts and Smart Forms..
I need the internal explanation for both Smart Forms and SAP Scripts mean when we execute what happens whether Print Program r Forms starts execution 1st and SIMILARLY FOR SMARTFORMS WHETHER FM'S R FORMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

What is the diffrence between sap events and application events

Hi all,
what is the diffrence between sap events and application events.Can any one tell me with examples.
regards,

Hi,
Look at this,
System Events (Default)
The event is passed to the application server, but does not trigger the PAI. If you have registered an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), this method is executed on the application server.
Within the event handler method, you can use the static method SET_NEW_OK_CODE of the global class CL_GUI_CFW to set a function code and trigger the PAI event yourself. After the PAI has been processed, the PBO event of the next screen is triggered.
The advantage of using this technique is that the event handler method is executed automatically and there are no conflicts with the automatic input checks associated with the screen. The disadvantage is that the contents of the screen fields are not transported to the program, which means that obsolete values could appear on the next screen. You can work around this by using the SET_NEW_OK_CODE method to trigger field transport and the PAI event after the event handler has finished.
Application Events
The event is passed to the application server, and triggers the PAI. The function code that you pass contains an internal identifier. You do not have to evaluate this in your ABAP program. Instead, if you want to handle the event, you must include a method call in a PAI dialog module for the static method DISPATCH of the global class CL_GUI_CFW. If you have defined an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), the DISPATCH method calls it. After the event handler has been processed, control returns to the PAI event after the DISPATCH statement and PAI processing continues.
The advantage of this is that you can specify yourself the point at which the event is handled, and the contents of the screen fields are transported to the application server beforehand. The disadvantage is that this kind of event handling can lead to conflicts with the automatic input checks on the screen, causing events to be lost.
Hope u understood.

What is the diffrence between SAP View and CAD View ?

What is the diffrence between SAP View and CAD View ?
What is the main purpose of SAP View
and
What is the main purpose of CAD View
On SAP help i found
SAP View is used for :The SAP view displays the SAP structure (document-based structure) for the active CAD object, or another document info record (header document), with a single-level or multilevel document structure in a tree structure. You can variably configure the fields using the layout editor.
CAD View is used for :The CAD view displays the document-based structure of the currently active CAD object, such as the structure of an assembly. The CAD system determines the complete (multilevel) structure and copies it either completely or in stages to the SAP system, in accordance with the default explosion level.
BUT I did not understand it well
Can someone explain this with an example
THanks

Hello Raj,
SAP View can be further described as the view that is based on what is existing already in the SAP system. This view is generally used by SAP purchasing, MM people etc
CAD view is nothing but the replication of the model tree view in the SAP system. This is used by the design engineer and this view replicates only the parts that are actively displayed on the CAD tool window.
hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions else please close the message.
