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.

I recently upgraded to firefox 4, then switched back. when i went back to firefox 3.6, it said that this version would only be supported for a limited time. Is there any way to keep the old version?

In 4, the tabs are on top of all of my bookmarks making them harder to access and there wasn't an arrow by the forward/back page buttons that pulled up a list of past pages. this new layout is not user friendly!

There are solutions for those interface issues, but to address your question about keeping the old version, make sure your auto-update is set to ask you before updating you.

Sap India support for Certification sucks...

n india SAP sucks It allows only MNC to be certified and cleary shows the attitude of the SAP india to give the money to Siemens who charges 3 lakhs for nothing.. They dont speak properly nor give any full information to people who call
They say that u have to work in the current company for 1 yr to be eligible to certify and if we change in between we have to wait again for next 1 yr and MNC doesnt have all these restrictions. SAP india SUcks with these rules and in other countried we dont have any such rules...
In USA even freshers certify.
Hey ANy one knows how to escalate it to the higher authorities of SAP.
I am working in SAP for 2 yrs and they said unless i work in the current company for 1 yr I cant appear.
WHy is this stupid rule.Its left to me to decide where I work .They can do any background verification if they want But 1 yr rule is sick and the information centre should be replaced with some good people,
Unite against this injustice..

George,
I understand your frustration..but at the same time let us try to avoid words which is not good in the professional world.
I will not be able to directly answer your question but shall suggest you to contact "Ramaiah, Mageshwari [[email protected]]" alias Maggi, she was Manager-Education services at SAP-India Bangalore.

How to use Radio Buttons in SAP BI 7 for a set of three fields?

Dear SAP Gurus,
We are using SAP BI 7. We need to use Radio button to select one field name (out of a set of three fields) which
appeared on selection screen.
The scenario is; we have three fields
1) Field Name A
2) Field Name B
3) Field Name C
Now, we need to select one field(using Radio button) from the above and later the report related to the above
selected field should be displayed.
The three reports will be as follows:
1) Report A
2) Report B
3) Report C
if Field Name A is selected then Report A will be displayed,
if Field Name B is selected then Report B will be displayed and
if Field Name C is selected then Report C will be displayed.
To display the report we have two cases;
1) There will be a common selection screen and all the three reports will come in single workbook but in seperate worksheet.
2) There will be a common selection screen and all the three reports will come in same worksheet, one after the other.
Is it possible to create the report in this manner, if yes, please suggest the steps.
Regards,
DV.

I think you would just use commands to do the following:
1. Hide report Analysis Item 2 and Analysis Item 3 if the 1st button was pushed.
2. Hide report Analysis Item 1 and Analysis Item 3 if the 2nd button was pushed.
3. Hide report Analysis Item 1 and Analysis Item 2 if the 3rd button was pushed.
Hope that helps...

Does SAP ME support any other 3rd party print sw's that Loftware or Adobe?

Hi,
does SAP ME support for example for Codesoft or Bartender or are Loftware and Adobe only 3rd party print softwares that are supported?
Regards,

Loftware and Adobe formatters are provided within ME. However, as I know there is capability to develop custom formatter class and incorporate it into the application. It is the way how the print output file can be created in another format.

List of characters not supported for a field search of type char

Hi,
I have a field of type char.
When we create entries for that field in a table we use special characters like &, etc. When searched it is not supported and not displayed in results.
I suppose it might be because SAP can support for characters of specific ASCII codes.
If you have any list of the ASCII codes supported in search, kindly let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Jaisish

Hi Jaisish,
as far as I know, there are two "special" characters that act as jokers in a field search
+: standing for one character
*: standing for zero or more characters
You can search for these characters into the content of a field, if you "escape" them. The symbol for escaping is "#" (before the special character + or *).
For example, if you search for "#*", this will search all entries with an asterisk in its content.
I hope this helps. Kind regards,
Alvaro

Migration and SAP Support for BW 3.1

Hi,
I have couple of queries regarding Migration and SAP Support.
What is the required patch level that need to be mantained in BW 3.1 for a direct upgrade to BI 7.
I would like to know whether SAP still supports BW 3.1. I searched in SAP Service marketplace, but didn't get much information regarding this.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.

SAP support for country-specific legal requirements

Just wondering if anyone could clarify how does SAP support work for the country-specific legal requirements. I'm sure in every country some new laws come to life regularly that affect the SAP customers and their ERP systems.
Case in point - on July 1st Mexican authority SAT decided to ask businesses to send them some XML files with some GL account information ('Anexo 24' - see the announcement in Spanish here). The deadline for the first file submission is October 2014.
This clearly affects every single SAP customer in the whole Mexico, as well as potentially many North America customers who have manufacturing facilities there. So would it be reasonable to expect SAP to come up with some standard solution? XML file extraction doesn't seem to be incredibly complex to me (although I might be off).
Another question - how would the customers know that SAP is aware of new laws and is taking some action? Could there be an announcement posted somewhere? There is a website for SAP Latin Americabut the latest announcement there is from June and nothing else is on the home page except for the HANA ads. (My Spanish is limited to "dos cervezas por favor", sorry if I missed something.)
In absence of such communication, naturally, the only option the individual customers have is to send a message to SAP. And that's where SAP replies with a copy/paste text (we got the same exact response as another SCN member here):
Feel free to maintain this incident opened, but contact us in the next three weeks, then we will be able to confirm if this legal requirement will be supported by SAP.
I'm confused - "IF"?! This is a legal requirement, there is no "if" for the business. Let's see if I got it right - we wait for 3 weeks, then SAP decides "nah, not gonna support that" (by the way, why is it on the customers to contact support again?) and every SAP customer in the whole country will have to scramble their own resources or pay for consulting (on top of SAP maintenance fees) to deliver the same exact set of programs on their own in under 2 months?
It could've been just an unfortunate choice of verbiage by Global Support, but I'm curious - is this really how the support for legal requirements supposed to work?
Thank you.

Hi Jelena,
Having been part of the SAP Globalization Services in Brazil, I understand a little bit of that process.
A few comments:
1) Localization of SAP solutions to country-specific regulation is under the responsibility of an area called Globalization Services. You can find more info about what they do here:
http://service.sap.com/globalization
2) Typically, those country-specific requirements are discussed in much details on the local ASUG chapters (at least that's how we did it in Brazil). That's why it's usually hard to find material in English, but I'd say that your local IT/Biz people in Mexico should be regulars in their local ASUG meetings, specially if they have a specific chapter to discuss Localization matters.
3) I found out this note with more specifics about "SAT Anexo 24".
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2041490
Apparently SAP is still analyzing it.
Suggestion if you want to speed the analysis up: reach out to your commercial contact in SAP.
4) Regarding your statement about the time it takes for the analysis & delivery to take place.
As an SAP customer, you have all the right to complain about the service level you're getting, it's just that, having been on the other side of the table, I know some facts that sometimes may be taken for granted. For example, SAP do not have infinite maintenance resources. I do understand that all customers pay maintenance and need to have their demands addressed, but SAP does not have a bench of developers available for whenever a new demand appears. If there is a new demand, they need to estimate the efforts and accommodate it into the development resource planning.
5) From a legal perspective, there is a difference between Legal Change and New Legal Requirement. The latter, if differing too much from the initial purpose of the acquired software, might not necessarily be required by the Software provider to be fulfilled within the maintenance scope. I'm not saying that it's the case for this Mexican requirement, I'm just saying there is this possibility, generally.
My personal recommendation: get your local Mexico people to be closer to the SAP Mexico team. They are usually responsible to publish information about such local requirements and the SAP release plan.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Henrique.

Hello Venkatesh,
Please take a look to the following SAP note 1951805 - Adjusted Version Interoperability for Business Suite 7i2013.
It explains the version interoperability between the products and version on the Business Suite and the different SAP NW releases. In your case, both SAP BW 7.31 and SAP BW 7.02 will communicate without problem with your ERP system.
About the integration between SAP NW and BOBJ 4.1, take a look to this:

As far as I know it is possible to integrate SAP BW 7.02 with BOBJ 4.1.

SAP Support for Classic G/L in ECC 6.0 and above

Hello,
Running an SAP upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 (EHP6). The customer is running the existing release since the past 8 years with FI/CO, MM,SD,PM and HCM modules.
We are exploring the possibilities and repercussions of moving on to new G/L from the legacy classic G/L. Please have a look at the mentioned points for replies accordingly.
1. As far as I understand, if need to seamlessly transit in the ECC 6.0 with New G/L in a way that the old transactional data, and all balances are retained with historical records, then we need to purchase the SAP New G/L Migration Services, and this would be lead and done by SAP. There is no alternate way of doing it solely by our ownself, Is this correct ?. If we engage SAP for this migration exercise and consulting then does it ensure that all historical data and balances are moved intact in the new G/L environment and from an end user perspective all transactional done to date before moving in ECC 6.0 are retained.
2. I guess we still need to review the integration impact of the new G/L for all other modules, is there a substantial rework to be done or with minimal effort, new account assignments and related configuration can be altered .
3. If we don't opt for SAP G/L Migration service but still want to activate and use the new G/L and profit center accounting, then as far as myself and my team assess, we need to decide a cutover date and gather the balances/open items from the legacy G/L and upload them to the new G/L in ECC 6.0, just as it would be the case for a fresh new implementation for a customer coming from non-SAP environment. If this is correct then :
The customer will lose all historical, detailed transactional data with respect to the legacy G/L and relevant originating entries. In such case for any business reporting requirement, the customer has to keep a separate PRD server alive in a dormant state for fetching the data before the transition in ECC 6.0 environment. Is this the correct understanding and the only possible approach, can there be a better way of ensuring the availability of historical data.
In such a case of doing a cutover data migration from old G/L to new G/L, do we have to upload the rest of the master/transactional data for all other modules as well, enacting a situation that all of them started as fresh new modules in ECC.6.0, or the legacy master / transactional data for all other modules can be kept intact for historical purposes. (examples, all vendors and PO / sales order and customer master / employee master and all payroll historical records for past 8 years).
4. Any indication or official SAP note, that for how long SAP intends to support the legacy G/L in the upcoming ECC versions. It is necessary to know in case the customer currently opts for still continuing with the classic G/L in ECC 6.0 , but we have a lurking danger that SAP would stop the support and availability of legacy classic G/L in the near future. So to a have a long term sustainable benefit, we might deliberate with the customer to take a bitter sip now , and move on to the new G/L with all its bells/whistles and the nuisances it might bring in terms of historical transaction data unavailability.
I hope i was able to make my scenario clearly understandable for having some valuable input from the forum members.
Thanks a lot for reading and replying.

Hi Syed,
From Technical basis perspective there is not much work in newGL migration apart from application and database tuning.
Time taken for migrating to newGL will depend upon number of open items available in the system at the time of migration.
Most of your queries are functional and suggestion would be to move this thread to ERP Financials.
For your information you may go through below links

Ora11 Support for SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 x110

Dear Oracle People,
in the "Development Update December 2009" there is a u201CBig picture of supported Oracle releases" on p24.
In this picture it is described that SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 x110 will not be supported under Oracle 11.
But SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 x200 will be supported.
I do not see a substantial technical difference between these two releases. And i do net see why Extension Set 1.10 does not fulfil the requirements for Oracle 11 as described in upper paper on p12 which seem to be: having a 6.40 kernel and extended maintenance at least until 2010
Can you please explain me why 4.7x110 will not be supported under Oracle 11.
Sincerely
Stefan Dietz

A general release is not provided for earlier SAP releases (SAP R/3 3.1I up to and including SAP R/3 4.6C). Similar to Oracle Version 10.2, there will only be a temporary 11.2 release in direct connection with an SAP upgrade project for these older SAP versions.
Oracle 11.2 for SAP Kernel 6.40, 7.x and higher
Oracle Version 11.2 will be released for these SAP kernel versions. In these kernel versions, basically only those SAP product versions that will still be at least part of SAP Extended Maintenance in 2010 will be released for Oracle 11.2.
[UPDATE]
I have also checked the PAM for SAP R/3 ENTERPRISE 47X110 and the kernel 6.40 is also supported .. really strange
