Tape drive selection for SAP r/3 Landscape

Dear frinds,
We are presently in the process of selection of Tape drive for our sap r/3 landscape. I.e, in the process of sap sizing.
My backup requirements are upto 1 TB. We have development QA and PRD servers in our landscape. We are planning for SAN based storage solution.
What I would like to know are as follows...
1. We are planning for SAN Based Tepe library.
With SAN Based tape library is it manditory to use Backup manager to initiate backup and restore operations.
My question is b'cos i need to upgrade skillset
Is it possible to mount the Single SAN Based Tape drive on my Development, QA and PRD as if they appear as local drives (file system )on the servers. If this is not possible i need to know about the tape drive which can be mounted as local tape drive.
I want only one tape drive in my landscap and I must be able to use sap r/3 tools to backup and restore.
Keeping presice my expectation what i want to know is : I want to conduct backup and restore operations in my SAP r/3 landscape with single tape drive and using SAP BRtools only( i.e. using DB13/ BRtools from command mode ).
It would be great suggested and participated in discussion.
Thanks and Regards,

SAP R/3 4.6B to SAP Enterprise UPGRADE landscape methodology

My primary question involves the upgrade landscape and its relationship with SAP's E-Buyer system.
We're upgrading R/3 in Q2 of 05. In all past upgrades I've done, I've used parallel landscapes; the existing DEV -> QAS -> PRD landscapes stays the same (for Production support throughout the upgrade process). However, since my last upgrade, we've implemented SAP's E Buyer application.
I do not think it's possible to maintain Dual E Buyer landscapes. This because of the configuration that's in our R/3 PRD environment that's dependent upon our EBP Prod system. It's all based on 1 logical system. Also, our E Buyer system was implemented in the CLASSIC scenario. Thus P.O.s are cut in R/3. This means that a symbiotic relationship exists between R/3 and E Buyer. Thus, critical E Buyer config is dependent on R/3 4.6b; it can't just be pointed at "the new R/3" AFTER the upgrade.
I believe the only way to upgrade now is to FREEZE E - Buyer and R/3 development in the "old" 4.6B landscape. In fact, I believe we have to come to the point in E Buyer and R/3 environments where the development landscape is "synched" i.e. all E Buyer Prod transports are in EBP PROD. This point has to be just prior to upgrading R/3. At that point, nothing short of a Prod break fix happens in the "old" landscape.
At that point in time, we simultaneously copy back Production R/3 to DV2 (where the R/3 Enterprise upgrade will occur) and E Buyer Prod to the EBD system. i.e. all post upgrade E Buyer-required work is done in EBD with the same (original) logical system.
It's important I understand this because my apps people are telling the business they can have multiple projects occurring in the "old" R/3 system landscape as well as E Buyer Development occurring concurrently to an R/3 Enterprise upgrade.
I don't see how that's possible.
To me, all new projects should occur in the UPGRADED landscape and be delivered at Prod cut over. Is there something I'm missing? I need to keep the business happy but being a Basis guy, I just don't see how they can have their cake and eat it to.
Any suggestions?

Hi there!
I've done the same task in the very same type of Upgrade, I hope I can help you. SapScripts are not much affected by Unicode. You should check that the code (programs and functions) do not have any Unicode inconsistencies, by theese I mean not mixing type C with type X, not making assignments between variables of different structure and a lot of unimportant issues you will find, but I assure you they are very easy to fix. Just activate the unicode check and then check the syntax of the object.

SAP Three-System Landscape

Hi All,
I have a very basic doubt - I have read umpteen times that the SAP recommendation is to use a 3-system landscape for performance reasons. One system for the developement, one for quality assurance and one for the production environment.
However, I want more clarity on what a 'system' is. Does it mean I purchase 3 mySAP ERP licenses for my implementation and then implement DEV, QAS and PRD in each of them? But would that not multiple my costs 3 times if I decide to move from legacy system to an SAP implementation?
Thanks and Regards,
Vidya.

Srividya D. wrote:>
> Yes, all clients in a single SAP software get affected if any client-independent customizing. So do you mean by having different hardware systems for the different logical systems (DEV, QAS, PRD) client-independent customizing in one client in one hardware system does not affect another client in another hardware system? But I don't quite understand this since the concept of a client is per SAP system and not hardware system.
Yes. exactly if the system are different then any config/changes will not going to affect another system until unless you move any transport. Client is a buisness unit to identify the Buisness data, It is system specific.
> By an instance if you mean an SAP Application Server, though there are multiple application servers on multiple hardware systems, the underlying Repository (nothing but database) and client-independent data should still be common right? Or do you mean that if I implement 3 instances of the SAP ERP system over 3 hardware systems, each instance or application server then has its own client space which do not interfere with the clients in the other hardware system?
I mean to say you required 3 Hardware, for 3 Database, and 3 SAP instance, 1:1 concept. everything will be seperate and will not interfare with any other system.

Defining substitutes in a multi SAP component system landscape

Hi All,
I need some help trying to understand and figure out how to best proceed with a recommendation/solution for defining workflow substitutes in a new SAP installation that includes the following components: Netweaver 2004S, EP6, SRM5 and ERP 2005.
The client is planning to rollout various ESS, MSS, ERP and SRM workflows throughout the organization and use the UWL for all workflow scenarios.
Being new to the portal and UWL, I been reading and trying different things with respect to maintaining substitutes in the ERP and SRM systems as well as the UWL.
Ive figured out that the UWL substitute processing is not linked to the ERP and SRM functionality. This means that anyone responsible for approvals will need to log into the ERP system and define the required personal substitutes in the Workflow Inbox and then repeat the same process in the SRM Approval tab.
If the above is the only way to define substitutes, then the process will not be met with open arms for all sorts of reasons.
As Im new to these new SAP components, am I missing something? There is a simple solution to defining substitutes in this type of a system landscape or do you need to build something to provide the required/desired single entry point for both systems.
Also, what do the UWL substitutes provide?
Regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Yes the UWL does create substitutes across all connected SAP systems **PROVIDED**:
1. Each system has all the function modules prefixed SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUT...
2. There is a mapping between the portal user and a user id in each of the systems
3. The user has the relevant authority (auth object S_WF_SUBST) to create/maintain/display substitutes in each of the systems
If you have the SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUT... function modules in some systems but not others you should be able to copy them (you'll need some SSCR keys of course to copy them under SAP standard names) and everything should be fine. I've done this before to a 6.20 NetWeaver system and it worked fine.
If its still not working you need to check the support pack notes for EP6 - for instance you do need to be on at least EP6 SP14 patch 2 for all substitution features to work.

HCM in an SAP for Utilities Landscape

If HCM were required in a Landscape running SAP for Utilities should HCM be run in the same ECC instance running Utilities or its own instance?
I appreciate that the answer may not be a simple yes/no but some guidance on the factors to take into consideration would be appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation of a reply.

Narasimha,
many thanks for you reply. It's the assertion in your reply that IS-U "stands on a separate server" that I'm trying to understand. Is it always the case that IS-U should run on it's own ECC implementation?
My understanding of the switch framework is that you could run multiple cross industry solutions but only ever one industry solution on the same ECC in which case it should be okay for IS-U to run on the same ECC as HCM, but I'm relatively new to this so may have got the wrong end of a stick somewhere!

Difference between SAP R/3 Landscape and BW Landscape

Hi,
Could some one explain how the system landscape is different for SAP BW from R/3.
Thanks,
Bobby.

HI, Typically the BI systm landscape "mirrors" an ERP system transport path. BI is not a multi-client system like ERP systems, however. Three is a client 000 for admin purposes,but otherwise you define one client as the BI client. A client for an ERP system can be defined as a "source system" in BI. More than one client in an ERP system could be a source system for BI, but that is not typical.
Not sure what you mean by "reverse transport", however - you have a normal "promote to production" path dev, QA, prd.

Error while configuring TMS in SAP (3 system Landscape)

Hi,
We need to replace our quality server with a new one.While configuring TMS,with the new replacement of our quality server,we are facing an error.
Our development server is the domain controller and we have added our new QA and then deleted the old system and previous TMS configuration.But after deleting the configuration in our Production also,we get an error while adding it in the landscape.
Password should contain atleast 2 numericals(0-9) for TMSADM.We changed and tried but of no use.
Our password is welcome@01 which goes as per the password exception table.
Can anyone help us in resolving this issue.Do we need to change the parameters and restart the system?Or is there any resolution like unlocking any table etc.
Please help.Early response would be of great help as our landscape is affected.
Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Sudheer,
Make sure the client id open
in client other than 000 open table TMSCROUTE using SE11 and create following entry.
sysname = ,ADMPWD
Routestring=USER
save the entry then try to configure STMS in 000.
Try to add the Entry in All 3 Systems.
Also Refer Note 1568362 - TMSADM password change

ERPI SAP - FDM Customiza

Is It possible to use the ERPI SAP to access tables customized the module SAP FI /CO?

You can use Open Interface Adapter for loading data from custom tables. You can use ODI to load into OIA Table with the restricted license (you don´t need full ODI license)
If loading data from NewGL, Classic GL, PC balances, CC balances ,customer balances, vendor balances you can configure source adapter to select which columns of standard SAP tables want to extract.

SLD Solution Manager & connections to other SAP productes in landscape?

Hi All
I have installed Solution Manager 4.0 SR3 in order to implement global monitoring across our landscape and I have decided to install and use the SLD.
I have set up the SLD and followed the post installation guide, however I now want to connect all of our sytems to it so that Stack , version Information, components etc can be transfered to the SLD automatically. Once this is done in Solution Manager (SMSY) I can then view all of my systems.
Firstly is this possible and does anyone have any information on how to do this?
Many Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
It is possible.
Firstly in satelite systems you need to enter your SLD server info using transaction SLDAPICUST. Here you specify your Solution Manager system as host, user usually j2ee_admin and j2ee_admin's password. The alias can be anything and default port is 5<instance no>00.
Secondly, you test the connection with transaction SLDCHECK. If it's green it's OK, you can ignore most warning messages.
Then last you setup data collection and job scheduling and you do this in transaction RZ70.
Sorry don't have any reference to notes or documentation but each transaction above should make sense of what I mentioned.
Hope this helps.

Nelis

SAP UI Customization - What Options

Hello there,
We are considering implementing SAP PM Module in SAP ECC 6.0. But the users do not like to work with the standard SAPGUI front-end. We are looking for alternatives on how to make the SAP UI web-based and user-friendly. There is GUIXT, EP that we are aware of. Can someone please recommend what options are out there along with the following information?
- Ease of implementation
- Deployment (easy, difficult)
The project we are targeting is a 6 months project to implement the PM module for 200 users that should also include the UI design and deployment.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Satish

Satish,
If you need to display only the data from backend then you can use Visual Composer to display PM data with more user friendly UIs.
Also you can use webdynpro Java or WebDynpro for ABAP for user friendly interfaces.
First check in market place website if there is business package available for SAP PM. Mostly configuration effort is required. If you dont find the suitable one then you use above mentioned ways.

How to set-up BO Xcelsius Enterprise in a layered SAP BW landscape

Dear all,
We are implementing BO Xcelsius Enterprise next to an existing SAP Netweaver BW landscape (including SAP BW 7.0).
We want to use the direct Xcelsius-SAP BW connection using the BI Consumers Services from EHP 1.
Currently we're using a 3 system landscape for our SAP BW environment, a development, Test and production server.
A) Could you specify what the best practice is for implementing Xcelsius Enterprise as tool:
Option 1: Only 1 Xcelsius server supporting the whole BI landscape
or
Option 2: set-up 3 Xcelsius servers, one for BW development,
one for the test environment
one for the production environment
And what are the transport possibilities in the 2nd scenario?
B) Also we would like to know how the live-data connection is working when a dahboard user is refreshing the data in the dahboard:
1) is the BW query triggered directly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server and is the dataflow going directly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard ?
or
2) is the BW query triggered indirectly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server and is the dataflow going indirectly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server ?
Thanks in advantage for you're answers!
Kind regards,
Marc Nuijten

Hi Marc,
Option 1: Only 1 Xcelsius server supporting the whole BI landscape
or
Option 2: set-up 3 Xcelsius servers, one for BW development,
one for the test environment
one for the production environment
And what are the transport possibilities in the 2nd scenario?
>> In regards to the direct connectivity towards SAP BW there is no need to have a SAP BusinessObjects server environment for Xcelsius. The Xcelsius file is hosted inside the SAP NetWeaver BW system and it is also a transportable object.
B) Also we would like to know how the live-data connection is working when a dahboard user is refreshing the data in the dahboard:
1) is the BW query triggered directly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server and is the dataflow going directly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard ?
or
2) is the BW query triggered indirectly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server and is the dataflow going indirectly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server ?
>>> That depends to a certain degree on the dashboard design. You can call the connections when the Xcelsius dashboard is being executed but you can also decide to trigger the connection.

In SAP BW landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD

Hi all,
In SAP BW system landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD.
whether one server is enough for DEV and we can use virtual servers to QA & PROD?
Regards,
chandu

Hi chandu,
In my previous Organisation we got exactly the same landscape for BW as you described.BCS(BAYER COPSCIENCE LTD) operates a BW System Landscape with one centralized Global Development System and three regional Quality Assurance and Production Systems located in Europe, Asia Pacific and Americas. This Landscape is to ensure consistent data models to be available in all regional systems as well as to minimize development efforts and make use of respective synergies.
This is perfectly working for BCS ,and I think, this is the most approriate way of handling of resources.

SSO to SAP using workstation password (GUI/Web)

Hello All - I am very new to this area and I am analyzing a SSO solution to implement in our company where in the User's workstation password will be the only authentication to logon to SAP. We are looking into SSO using Kerberos but we are still not clear on the solution. Below are some of the questions that I can think of from the top of my head.
1) What is the pre requisite to logon to SAP without password? AD/etc...
2) Can logon via. SAP Logon GUI be passwordless? If yes, what is the solution/technology? Also if passwordless GUI log on is possible, what will be situation where a system has more than one client? Will it prompt to enter the client number?
3) WIll SSO work across multiple landscapes like 4.7, MySAP, BW, Netweaver, etc?
I apologise ahead if I my questions are very vague. Kindly bear with me and point me to the right information, so that I can have the analysis of SSO ready for my company.

I had a chance to discuss the possibilties of enabling single sign on to GUI and my web with the experts in our company and we have the below questions. Since we already have Kerberos enabled in our workstations, we like the idea of installing SNC libraries.
Good choice Yes, you could have opened another thread, but I am happy to help you using this thread.
> 1) Will SSO via. GUI using SNC libraries will work for all versions of SAP including 4.5, 4.6, mySAP, etc.. (I just want to ensure that I covered 4.5, 4.6, mySAP as well, as I didnot mention this in my previous post)?
Yes, SNC is supported on versions of SAP ABAP AS since 3.1I through to NetWeaver 2004s and beyond. So, you can use same solution for all versions of SAP in your landscape, and on all platforms as long as the vendor product you use has libraries for the operating system.
> 2) Will installing SAPNEGO module enable single signon for web for all versions of SAP?
Yes, this is one option as it uses Kerberos capability already included in IE browser and also in Firefox browser - there is therefore no client software required and you can utilise Kerberos credentials already on workstation.
> 3) Is there a whitepaper or a source where we can verify the above so that can get approval to get help from the SAP or SAP partners to devise a SSO plan for our complex SAP landscape?
As I explained before - some of this functionality is provided by SAP Partners so you need to contact one of them to ask for such papers. If you contact me I can give you a demonstration of this technology via a web meeting and answer any detailed questions you might have when you have seen it working. You might want to invite other people from your company as well.
> For some reason, our Security Architect believes that SSO via. GUI is not possible using SNC libraries. I need some data from a trusted source. I did lookup by searching for SSO in thge forums and hwite papers but I am unable to find a source that validates the information.
I can show it to him working, or you can point him to http://www.cybersafe.com/d2 so he can see the products being installed and demonstrated.
> I will have one more follow up question to clarify but I will wait for the response to above. If I have to create a new thread, please let me know and i am happy to do so.
Since you have started on this thread you might as well continue. No need to confuse matters by opening new thread, but in future when a thread is closed it is better to open a new one if you have additional questions.
