SAP License Audit and DDIC user

Hello, we recently completed our first SAP License Audit and an issue came up with our DDIC user in the productive client. According to the SAP Licensing and Auditing documentation DDIC is not counted in clients 000 and 001, however we have DDIC in client 400 (our productive client) and I set it as a SAP Web AS User in the Contractual User Type. However, we should not have to pay for a standard SAP user and I was going to remove DDIC from client 400, but I see it's needed for transports.
How can I assign DDIC a user type that does not consume a SAP License?
- Regards,
Richard

Hi Richard,
You don't need to and should not remove DDIC and SAP* from your productive client.
As Nick mentioned already, please assign License type 'Test' to the standard users SAP*, DDIC etc in your productive client (400).
When the users are defined with 'TEST' license type, they will not be measured in System License Audit report.
Cheers !!
Satya.

How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

Hi,
How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving the message that Incorrect logon and password.
(Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
-B S B

Hi again:
I forget to tell.
You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
Hope this wil help,

Question about sap license audit,could you help me

how many users can my test system use ? Does SAP concern the users I used in test system ?
could you give me some information about that? thanks a lot.

Hi,
We have hundreds of user on our production system, and several developer user and have been go live several years ago (SAP R/3) and proceed license audit annualy.
Typically, license audit is calculated by the number of user on your production system and the number of developer user on your (development) system. Hence, the number of usual user (which is not developer user) on your test system should not be brought into SAP license audit calculation.
to proceed, first you have to clasify contractual user type via SU01, and then proceed it using USMM transaction.
hope it help you,

License Audit and System Measurement for J2EE Systems

Hello,
I'm working on our annual license audit at this time, and for the first time the measurement plan includes non-ABAP systems: Enterprise Portal, Adobe Document Services, NWDI, and even the Java developers' NWDS installations. I'm fully conversant with the use of USMM and SLAW on the ABAP side, but I have no idea how to measure the J2EE systems, and I am unable to find any documentation on this. I did find one powerpoint presentation that talked about measuring Portal and Duet systems, but it's only valid for 6.40-based systems, and we are a 7.00 shop (NetWeaver 2004s). In any case, when I tried the suggestion in the presentation, it simply didn't exist for our Portal or ADS systems on 7.00.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed?
Thanks,

SAP license auditing transaction code

Hi,
Which t-code will be used for analyzing SAP user license audit?
Regards
Kishore

We can use USMM and SLAW and following is the link for the same.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/ee/ee133bfae0750ce10000000a11402f/content.htm
Steps
1)Categorize the user like cat 1 etc before starting the audit.
2)External communication to SAP should be on to send the results to SAP,.
Please let me know if there is something else you have done.

Hi Srinivas,
You should set "login/no_automatic_user_sapstar=0", in the SAP profile. With ECC 6.0, default sapstar user deactivated. You can take a look at OSS note #68048, for detailed information.

Sap r/3 4.7 user information

hi, is there any one who can tell me that in any organigation how can we check how many users in that company.
i am not talking about here logged in user rather i am talking about the quantity of that users.

Hi,
SAP Audit means SAP license Audit,
Each SAP system must be measured with the measurement program. Afterwards, the results of the individual systems are combined in the License Administration Workbench, consolidated, and sent to SAP.
for that you need to Classify the users in all clients and systems in accordance with
the agreements in your SAP software contract.
you are still getting the list of user in sap using the path which i given to you if you system audit is not perform.
else you can use SU01 as Mr. Sergo Beradze suggested.

TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED during run of SAP licence Audit

hello,
when trying to process the SAP License Audit transaction YSALSA on PSO with the full data amount a runtime error " TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED" occurs.
I checked the runtime error and found the following.
The amount of storage space (in bytes) filled at termination time was:
Roll area...................... 2718352
Extended memory (EM)........... 2002743520
Assigned memory (HEAP)......... 1996993152
Short area..................... " "
Paging area.................... 131072
Maximum address space.......... 4294967295
These are the parameters set for memory
abap/heap_area_dia: 2000683008
abap/heap_area_nondia: 2000683008
abap/heap_area_total: 2000683008
it is a 64 bit HP-UX system.
I would like to know if there is any other solution rather than changing the memory parameters.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Hello,
Its a memory issue, In ST22 you can see how much memory was occupied and how much was requested.
Sometimes this could be due to other program or activites which have consumed larger parts of memory and other programs can not get there share. Have you tried at the times where there is less workload.
As suggested in other post, You can increase the memory accordingly.

Vamshi.

SAP user licensing - service users and system users

Hello,
In SAP licensing process, will it count service users and system users for the license.
(or licensing occurs only to the dialog users)
In the license agreement , it is not mentioned.
(Mentioned as 500 user license only)

Hi Zerandib,
This forum is for SAP Business One users only. I think your question is related to R/3. Please close your thread and post on a proper forum.

Whats the functional difference between user IDs SAP* and DDIC?

Whats the functional difference between SAP* and DDIC? Can any one tell me please. I am new here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Farooq,
There are three user IDs in various SAP clients.
1. SAP* (Client 000 and 001)
SAP* denotes the default super user and has all administrative powers.
2. DDIC (Client 000 and 001)
DDIC user is responsible for the maintenance of the ABAP/4 Dictionary and the software logistics.
3. EarlyWatch (Client 066)
The EarlyWatch user has access only to monitoring and performance data.
Please check this link for more information on data dictionary objects.

Between SAP Licenses and Employee Records Realtinship

Hi Experts
<u>The Scenario of the issue is as below.</u>
<b>SAP Licenses held by the company is -- numbers.
And the employee records including PD(appraisal),PA & OM exceeds the allowed records numbers.</b>
Qn1 Whats the realtion between SAP license and records ?
Qn2 How to go about in this scenario?
Qn3. Should i prioritise the existance of records in appraisals and delete the least priority after consulting the client?anyway OM & PA records should not be deleted.
Please throw some light on the issue.

Abhilash,
Usually the SAP Licenses are with respect to named users and their rights to the system....
If you have N licences of various types and M employees accessing SAp ( M > N ) then it will be an issue .. usually for services like ESS - you have a licence called employee user and for more access you have professional licenses etc...
You could check the type of licenses that the company has and the number of licenses of each type and also the Contract signed with SAP as to the licensing policy..
Arun
Hope it helps...
