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.
Cheers and All the Best for Certification.

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.

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

MM certification training by SAP India Pvt Ltd Bangalore

Hi
Does SAP India Pvt Ltd Bangalore conducts certification training for MM module? Like any other SAP training partner. Since i couldn't find any schedule or any other details regarding that.

SAP usually does not provide standard courses on their own. But, they would be provided through the Partners, called Authorised Training Partners (ATP)
SAP provides new dimensional courses, niche subjects, customer designed training programs.
If it is MM, you should select the ATP convenient to you. They would follow more or less the same curriculum, hence, there is no much difference.
Please contact SAP Education India, if need any further clarifications.
Hope this helps.

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

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.

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

Hello Stefan,
You can crosscheck this with sapnote #1398634
Oracle 11.2 release for older SAP releases
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

Stefan

SAP Support for Pay Service?

A friend would like me to find out on this site for him:
Is there any service on this site or anywhere, that he can get support, even if it costs some money?
Basically he has a new BW job and he fears he may encounter a problem and would like to deal with it without showing his ignorance to his employer.
Sure, he has been researching on this site but sometimes it may be too specific that he may want o speak with someone on the phone or chat.
Is there any service here or out there, like that?
Thanks.

Thanks and that makes sense in the absence of an actual SAP BW support service.
Almost all products out there, Linux, NT, 2000, Netware, have those type of services so we thought there will be one out there for SAP BW.
The point is that, in a critical situation, one would like to quickly be assured of a guaranteed response instead of posting and hoping for a response on a forum, such as this.
I will leave the case open and see if others may be aware of any SAP BW support services on the market.
Thanks.

Dell Equallogic SAN HIT Kit support for SAP in Linux 11.2

Hello Everyone,
I would like to use an Equallogic SAN as storage in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.2. Is the Equallogic SAN supported in Linux when using the HIT Kit to provide MPIO and snapshot support? The article from thorsten.staerk describes Equallogic SAN + Linux + native iSCSI (no mention of the HIT Kit). I understand that there are restrictions on using third party kernel modules.
My understanding is that the Equallogic MPIO driver will provide a faster, more efficient, connection to the SAN along with additional features.

EqualLogic Integration: Installation and Configuration of Host Integration Tools for Linux – HIT/Linux
The Dell EqualLogic HIT/Linux MPIO software consists of two components:
1. The EqualLogic Host Connection Manager daemon, ehcmd, which monitors the iSCSI session state and the configuration of the Linux server and PS Series group. Running in the background, the ehcmd daemon uses the Open-iSCSI management tool (iscsiadm) to add, remove, or modify iSCSI sessions to maintain an optimal number of iSCSI sessions. It also gathers information on the volume layout from the PS Series group.
2. A loadable kernel module, dm-switch, which implements a new Device Mapper target to the multipath devices. Based on the volume layout on the array members, the dm-switch module routes each I/O to the optimal path within the PS Series group.

I'll take a moment to provide an update on the solution. There were some issues with the initial configuration of the in guest iSCSI volumes. If I had to start from scratch, I would run all the storage through VMware. The last round of software updates appears to have resolved a potentially serious issue with iSCSI disconnects. iSCSI has run perfectly for two months now. I'll consider the issue resolved once I have six months without any iSCSI issues.
One remaining issue is that LVM won't initialize properly without implementing a custom init script. The init script work-around is simple and it works.

supported database version: MaxDB 7.5 64-BIT
2. tab Process integration (PI/XI)

QUESTION IS: which tab (1,2) should I trust regarding supported database version for XI?
Best Regards,
Piotr

Hi,
