SAP DB changing the Log mode to the "Owerwrite mode is ON"

Hi!
I would like to know, which consequences do I have, changing the Log mode to the "Owerwrite mode is ON".
Is that comparable with Oracle's archive mode?
What should I note proccessing so (e.g. to make back up)
I don't use the system in productive mode and would like to save/spare free space on my server....
Thank you very much!
regards
Axel

Hi Marcus,
once again to clarify: I know it from oracle: Is it right that , If I activate in SAP DB "Owerwrite mode is. ON" no new logfiles will be created.
Only the existing logfiles will be overwrtiten.
It means I "save" space, because no new log files a 4,5 GB will be created, is not?
I am not familiar with SAP DB.
How should I proceed with Backup (online, offlne)?
Thank you
regards

SAP Query; change the name of the selection fields

Has SAP has changed the way licenses are issued?

Hi Everyone;
I was just informed by my client (Public Works Government Services Canada) that SAP has told them this week that ...
"for two maintenance releases within the same major version that we require two licenses on the same PC; one for 12.1 and another for 12.5".
My understanding was that a PB 12.5.x .LIC file will also activate a PB 12.x IDE as well on the same PC. In fact, that has been the case in previous years with various versions of PB from Sybase.
Has SAP changed (or are they changing) the way the old Sybase Sysam licenses work?
Regards ... Chris

Apparently the person at SAP who wrote that thinks that 12.5 is a maintenance release of 12.0.
If the 12.5 license allows running 12.0, whether that is a bug would depend on whether Sybase intended to allow use of prior versions when you license the current version.
If they are going to license maintenance releases separately, that is definitely something new. I suppose they want to make sure only users with a maintenance agreement can install and use maintenance releases.
We should get clarification from Sue.

SAP query change the internal table extracted after a join instruction

Hi Gurus
I would like to know if it is possible to change the data in internal table after that the
join instruction has been executed .
I should have to delete some lines extracted if some conditions are satisfied.
Do you think that it is not possible and it is better to crete a program?
Thanks in advance

SAP PS: Changing the WBS number for a released project

Hi Gurus,
I am wondering if anyone here knows how to change the WBS number under a project that is released (REL). Until the project is partially released (PREL), the WBS number can be changed, but once it's released, the number is greyed out. Is there a special authorization that could be used to achieve this? I do have authorization to C_PRPS_VNR activity 45, but I believe it's the business transaction (for status REL) that's blocking this number from being changed. A quick answer will be highly appreciated and rewarded.
Regards,
Venkata.

The WBS number cannot be changed after it has been released.

Change Archive Log Mode, Restart instance, show ORA-12505 error!!!

We are still use Oracle 9i.
Now we want to use Symantec Backupexec 12 to backup oracle 9i.
In accordance with Backupexec's requirements. must change recovery mode to Archive Log Mode.
I use the Enterprise manager console to change it. and select restart immediately.
a error message be display in the step 2 (starting up the database). see below
ORA-12505: TNS:listener could not resolve SID given in connect descriptor
I'm a new oracle user. Hope you give me some suggestion.
THK.

If database is down, then start it up directly login to server and
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
startup;
Read this thread for first:
Re: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect
The main problem is Your listner doesn't know the sid in connect descriptor.
Check
lsnrctl services
and look in tnsnames.ora file - is there such sercive defined in Your connection description.
issue tnsping in order to check is it able to read and connect correctly tnsnames.ora entry.

Changing archive log mode without shutting down database

Hi all,
Is there any way to set the database to archive log mode before shutting down the database and when the database shuts and starts, the database should be automatically in archive log mode?
because we can not shutdown the database in weekdays and we have system reboot on weekend and we are not here on that day. So is there a way to set the database in archive log at the memory level so that when the database reboots, it should automatically start in archive log mode.
my environment is windows server 2008 R2 with oracle 11.2.0.3
Thanks in advance.

thank you for the reply Max Seleznev,
First I thought of writing script in order to include in that process. But we can not run any commands in the sqlplus using the windows jobs. for eg:
you can write a batch file as below:
cd \
sqlplus / as sysdba
select name,open_mode from v$database;
when you run this, it will open until sqlplus prompt but then will not execute the query.
What did you expect? Well, actually, I know what you expected. But think about it for a second. You have a batch file with the mentioned three lines. How does that batch file get processed .. what is happening when it is being processed?
It is not being processed by sqlplus, it is being processed by the windows command processor. Just like the cmd.exe. Each line is read by the command processor and executed accordingly. So ....
cd \the command processor calls 'cd' , and passes the value '\' to do with as it sees fit. 'cd' then changes the current directory of the session to whatever is indicated by the passed parameter. in this case, that value is '\' , so the resulting current directory is the base (root, in *nix terms) of the current drive. When 'cd' has finished, it returns control to the command processor, who then reads the next line ....
sqlplus / as sysdbathe command processor calls sqlplus.exe and passes it the command line parms '/ as sysdba' to do with as it (sqlplus) sees fit. sqlplus does whatever it does with what it has been given In this case it tries to connect to whatever local database is indicated by the value of ORACLE_SID, then waits for more input. Whenever sqlplus exits (how does it know to exit?) it returns control to the command processor, who then reads the next line ....
select name,open_mode from v$database;The command processor will read this line and attempt to find an executable file named 'select' and pass it the rest of the command line 'name,open_mode from v$database;'
Hmm, what do you suppose will happen with that operation?
that is the reason I am figuring out whether there is an alternate way.yes but you have to use the proper technique. And since you are building this into a production stop/start without testing the actual stop/start commands ... what do you suppose will be the outcome if something goes wrong?
After hours and weekend work is one reason DBA's make more money than developers.

How to change the amount of Vendor Line Item in FB60

Hi all,
I want to post the invoice in SAP with FB60. The journal is as follow:
Dr. Expense    1000 USD
Dr. VAT-Input    100 USD
      Cr. Account Payable     1100 USD
But the problem, the amount of Account payable is 1000 USD. Because I want to fill the amount in vendor line item (FB60) with the original expense (1000 USD).
I want to ask, there is any configuration in SAP to change the amount in vendor line item which it could be the same with amount of the original expense.
If you ever have same problems, plase share with me
Thanks,
John

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The result of posting invoice that I want is as follow:
Dr. Expense    1000 USD
Dr. Vat - Input    100 USD
Cr. Account Payable   1100 USD
When posting invoices in FB60, there is a filed "amount vendor line item" at the top. Usually the field is filled with amount vendor 1100 USD, but I want to fill it with the expense amount (1000 USD). Which can be show the account payable 1100 USD.
Is there any configuration to change the field "amount vendor line item" ?
Thanks,

Change the condition type based on sales document type

Dear ALL,
I have created a condition Zxxx which is a fixed calculation type for the documents created by the upload from external tool to SAP. I created this condition because external tool is using a 15 place decimal which SAP doesn't allow and if the normal condition type Zyyy is used SAP calculates once in SAP and there are rounding issues. What the Zxxx condition type does is accept whatever value is sent up from external tool to SAP, regardless of the quantity. The problem is that whenever they create a credit with reference, in SAP and they want to do a partial credit, the Zxxx doesn't take the partial quantity into consideration and doesn't change the value.
Is there a way to force SAP to change the condition type from Zxxx to Zyyy based on sales document type without recalculating the whole document because that would again, cause rounding issues. We would need to have the calculation done only on quantities changed in the credit memo request .
please advice me. your inputs are highly appreciated.
TIA

Dear ALL,
someone please help me with this issue. your inputs are higly helpful.

Change of Sales Order automatically changes the purchase order

Hi
I am working on a scenario where a as soon as a sales order is created it will also create a purchase order on plant which will supply the item to the plant on which sales order is created.This works fine.
Now when I change sales order( order qty ,requested delivery date, new item added) . On saving the sales order it should change the purchase order which has already been created by updating the schdule lines in the purchase order with new values from the sales order. It is all in same SAP instance.
Here are possible ways I can think of:-
1 Change of SO will create a SO IDOC . The SO IDOC should supply required values to the PO Idoc . The PO IDOC should get posted to SAP to change the existing PO. Client does not have XI so we cant use XI for conversion.
2 Changing a SO will trigger workflow.The Workflow executes ABAP program which takes data from SO and calls BAPI to change the purchase order and sends notification that PO has changed. Which BAPI?
Any thoughts are welcome. We are on 4.7 and we dont have XI. So please do not suggest XI based solution.
Prashanta

Prashanta,
For your 2nd part of question, you can use 'BAPI_PO_CHANGE' to change the PO.
Thanks

Archive log mode Turn off

What's happen flashback if i change archive log mode to no archive log mode?S.Azar,
You should be clear about things that when you read notes from web, there can be a language mismatch. So the best is that search first over the oracle docs.
Now about your doubt, its a terminology mismatch which is happening here. To enable Flashback Database feature which is more persistent copy of the undo data , stored seperately in a FLB file, you MUST have to have archivelog mode configured in your db. Without this, you can't enable the Flashback Database feature. And you can't switch to noarchive log mode as well if you have Flashback Database mode on.
The other thing ( which I guess Anurag was mentioning ) is the normal Flashback feature which relies on Undo data stored in the undo tablespace. This solely is based on teh undo data and doesn't depend on the archive/nonarchive log mode of the database. But this is limited to that data and to that time period up till which you can store the undo data in your undo tablespace.

Shrink Log file in log shipping and change the database state from Standby to No recovery mode

Hello all,
I have configured sql server 2008 R2 log shipping for some databases and I have two issues:
can I shrink the log file for these databases: If I change the primary database from full to simple and shrink the log file then change it back to full recovery mode the log shipping will fail, I've seen some answers talked about using "No
Truncate" option, but as I know this option will not affect the log file and it will shrink the data file only.
I also can't create maintenance to reconfigure the log shipping every time I want to shrink the log file because the database size is huge and it will take time to restore in the DR site, so the reconfiguration
is not an option :(
how can I change the secondary database state from Standby to No recovery mode? I tried to change it from the wizard and wait until the next restore for the transaction log backup, but the job failed and the error was: "the step failed". I need
to do this to change the mdf and ldf file location for the secondary databases.
can any one help?
Thanks in advance,

1. If you change recovery model of database in logshipping to simple and back to full Logshipping will break and logs wont be resored on Secondary server as log chain will be broken.You can shrink log file of primary database but why would you need that
what is schedule of log backup. Frequent log backup is already taking care of log files why to shrink it and create performance load on system when log file will ultimately grow and since because instant file initilaization is not for Log files it takes time
to grow and thus slows performace.
You said you want to shrink as Database size is huge is it huge or does it have lots of free space. dont worry about data file free space it will eventually be utilized by SQL server when more data comes
2. You are following wrong method changing state to no recovery would not even allow you to run select queries which you can run in Standby mode. Please refer below link to move Secondary data and log files

In se75. go in change mode and click create button in application tool bar.
Now text object is something to which a text is attached, like, a material or a Purchase order etc.
Text format is like rich text format or plain text depending upon which an editor is invoked
Specify Editor application. SAP provides standard Editor application choose from one of them(TA or TN)
Line width
This attribute determines the line width to be used for this text in the text editor. A SAPscript text line may consist of up to 132 characters.
Save mode specifies how a text is saved in
dialogue task
When calling the corresponding save function, the system immediately writes the text module to the text database.
in update task
All changes to the text modules of a transaction are stored intermediately in a buffer. Only when the application object is updated does the system write the texts to the log file and, in the update task, stores them in the text file.
For not in text file
You can use SAPscript to edit texts that are not stored in the text database. In this case, SAPscript only returns the changed text table to the application program, which is itself responsible for storing the text

Editor Mode not found to change the property of J2EE Configuration in NWA

Hi,
I have worked on an issue where an end user asked me to configure changes in NWA.But I did not find the editor mode.I tried all the buttons in the page of NetWeaver Administrator -> Configuration.But I could not change the customized value.Tried all possible means.Later logged into Config Tool and made the changes in Configuration Adapter successfully.Restarted the cluster later.
Why couldn't I change the value of property in NWA? Where do I see the configuration editor mode in NWA?Please help.
Thank You.
Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Mr. Sudheer,
As per my information,
NWA is a tool under developement by SAP (for the full fledged functionality)
Till now it is valid for use to Monitor the SAP system (similar to CCMS), next is you can administrate the Java process and services (that is you can start and stop them).
WE can monitor the SAP ABAP & JAVA Stack as well as Java components...
We can also do User Management via NWA.
And also the CTC configuration using NWA.
<b>But changing certain parameter or acting as an editor is NOT YET supported by NWA tool.</b>
I hope that I am correct in providing you the information.
for details on that please refer : http://service.sap.com/nwa
