SAP Printing requirment on the fresh landscape (DEV,QAS,PRD)

Hi BASIS Guru,
I am new in BASIS(ECC 6.0), I want to configure printers for SAP pirnting. Opreating system we are using on my site is RHEL-5. I am not sure on how to start configuring multiple printer on SAP. Please provide me some information for the same.
I am already reading through help.sap.com, but it is too vast and it is confusing me.
Thanks in advance ,
Yogendra

Hi, Printing can be configured using the using the Tcode SPAD in basis for spool administration.There is mainly three types of configuring printing in SAP basically they are local , remote and frontend printing.Local printing is used when The operating system spooler runs on the same host as the R/3 spool work process.When using remote printing, an R/3 spool work process passes the print-ready output stream to the
operating system spooler on a different host.
Frontend printing allows R/3 users to send output to printers that are defined on their local frontend PCs (access method F). For local printing Windows NT API (access method C) and Unix based system access method L.For frontend PCs (access method F). If you are satisfied with my answer mark me.If your are not knowing the device driver of your printer you can use the swine device type.

10g Upgrade Order (DEV - QAS - PRD)

If I am upgrading Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.2, what issues will I face if I upgrade the landscape in the order of DEV, QAS, PRD.
I will wait a week between upgrades.
Will transports fail?
Will SAP face any issues having different Oracle versions?
Do I have to upgrade DEV, QAS, PRD at the same time?

-> transports will not fail as long as the sap release will not change...
-> normally all sap systems should run smoothly on supported database platforms...10g should be no problem...the three system reside on different hosts?
to be sure (sap states that different kernel releases within one system landscape can lead to problems) try to keep the time between QAS and PRD very short and avoid transporting...
-> no, you don't have to upgrade all systems at the same time...a week between DEV and QAS is enough

Defining SLD Target Systems for DEV, QAS & PRD

In a 3 tier XI landscape (DEV, QAS, PRD) which of the following two scenarios is best?
1. In the SLD define each DEV Business System with a target of the corresponding QAS Business System and define each QAS Business System with a target of the corresponding PRD Business System.
DEV ---> QAS ---> PRD
This means that we export ID objects from DEV and then import them into QAS. The objects then need to be exported from QAS for import into PRD
2. In the SLD define the DEV Business Systems with 2 target systems relating to corresponding QAS and PRD Business Systems.
DEV --> QAS
DEV --> PRD
This means that the same export from DEV can be used for import to both QAS and PRD.
Currently we have scenario 1 implemented but I am thinking of changing this to scenario 2 which I believe is a better solution as only one export is required and it is guaranteed that the same objects are being imported into QAS and PRD.
Any thoughts or comments?

Hi Mark,
I dont think thats a good thing to go with. When you are exporting, how are you going to control in CMS as to which environment you are going to export?
CMS itslef works on the principle of Develop->QA->PRD. This way, when you are in QA and found some bugs and fix them, you can export them all to QA. Finally you assemble them at QA and finally import them to PRD. This way, all the chaged objects later on would also get imported to PRD automatically.
Also As per my knowledge, in SLD, one target bus sys can have mulitple sources but the converse is not true.

3-tier vs. 2-tier system architecture (DEV- QAS- PRD)

Dear Xperts,
I would like to know your opinion about a 3-tier (DEV->QAS->PRD) vs 2-tier (DEV/QAS->PRD) BW system architecture.
Why should you choose for 3 instead of 2, or the other way around. Thus pro's & cons.
Thx.
regards,
JvB
ps xcuse me 4 the cross-post in the 2004s part. It should be posted in this forum.

Hello
2 Tier architecture will have Presentation Layer and DataBase Layer. So each and every time we have to access the Database directly and this may affect the DB Performance and if the number of concurrent users are more then it will be worser.
in 3 Tier case another layer "Application layer" has been incorporated as an intermediate between the above said 2 layers and this prevents the direct access to the DB. The performance is not highly affected. can Manage multiple concurrent users.
Heard about 4 tier came and installation process going in in Gulf. (not sure)

Different Sales Organization in CRM DEV,QAS,PRD

Hi,
Is anyone knows how to correct inconsistent sales organization in DEV, QAS & PRD, meaning number series of sales organization units in DEV is not same with the QAS and PRD. With this situation, pricing in CRM online and internet sales is not consistent with what in R/3 and i'm getting error while doing CRMD_ORDER.
Please help! Rewards await.
Thank you very much.
Earl G. Faren

Hi Ravi Yadav,
Thank you for the reply!
I tried transporting the Org model but still when I tried creating a sales order using CRMD_ORDER, the system still unable to get the right base/list price and then when I check one of the condition tables (CNCCRMPRSAP004 & CNCCRMPRSAP005) it still contains the wrong sales org unit number series. Do I need to do the initial loading R3AS (R/3 to CRM)? to overwrite the entries of those condition tables?
Please advise what to do next.
Thank you.

Does two seperate client required if the solman monitors DEV and QAS system

Hi All,
This is our client landscape:
1 Dev-SolMan->For all development and quality systems(ECC 6.0, BI and EP).
1 PRD-SolMan->For all production systems(ECC 6.0, BI and EP).
Note: We have build only DEV-SolMan system as of now and we haven't done any configuration yet like either service desk or ChaRm.
The question is:
Do we need to have two seperate clients in DEV-Solman, one for all development systems and one for all quality systems? or Can we have a single client in DEV-Solman to handle all development and quality systems? What is the SAP recommented approach?
Thanks
Sanjai

Hi,
you even don't need separate Solution Manager systems to monitor DEV / QA and Prod. You could use one SolMan client to monitor and administrate all systems / clients.
Maybe it would be a good idea to create different Solution Landscapes, but this depends on your need.
Separate clients are no good option, because CHARM can only activated in on client. Also if you plan to activate charm, you need a solution that contains all systems in your transport landscape (DEV, QAnad Prod).
Kind Regards,
Holger

you can get the print queue recycled by HP unix team smtimes spool gets struck in printer queue at the OS level. else you can print them direclty you will get tht option in SP01 to print a spool request directly . else check the spoolserver in SPAD and check if its available or not ..
it has helped me many times ,,,
Hope this answers ur question ,
if it gets resolved please mark it answerd and award the points

SAP Query Creation - Where to do? Dev or Prd

HI,
We have a two system landscape as DEV and PRD.
We want some query to be generated in PRD. So whether we have to create in DEV and then transport the report to PRD or Can i directly create query in PRD and then assign one transaction code for that?
Is there any drawback in creating Queries in PRD directly?
Please give a idea about queries.
Regards,
Lijo Joseph
Message was edited by: Linda Bortolus (just to mark the post as a question)

Hi Lijo,
That is precisely what I had in mind when I said that <i>"....the SAP Query, in general, is only used to SELECT the data..."</i> !!
Though the purpose of the coding section is only to enhance / customize the display, there's nothing to prevent a DELETE / MODIFY statement in there.
If you think that there is a chance that someone might access the query in the production system in change mode, then you have a major risk. But I think it is not a problem to prevent access to SQ02 in the production system. But then, the developer who writes the query (I guess that's you in this case ) should also exercise extreme caution in handling this part. NEVER use any DML statements here (DELETE / MODIFY / UPDATE).
Hope this information has been useful.

Anand Mandalika.

Print preview for so10 differs btw dev n prd

Hi experts,
how come the preview of so10 between prd n dev is different even the line spacing n font is the same
i use dot matrix printer to preview

Hi ester,
1. how did u transport the standard text
   from DEV to PRD?
2. Probably the contents of standard text
   are different in DEV and PRD.
   Other wise its not possible.
3. In SO10
   The STYLE and FORM (Default is SYSTEM)
   may not have been transported to PRD
( in case its ur own style and form)
4. Maybe the SYSTEM FORM is different
in both servers.

Dataflow targets for SAP BW Datasource have different names in Dev/QA/PRD

I am using BODI to load from flat file into a SAP BW Datasource.
All is working fine in Development and I have transported my BW development to the QA environment.
In QA my loads don't work anymore.
The reason is that BODI refers to the 'Transfer Structure' of my data sources in BW.
These Transfer Structures have a different suffix in each SAP system (DEV, QA, PROD).
To have different suffixes for Transfer Structures is a standard SAP BW behaviour.
I was expecting SAP would use the unique combination Source System / Datasource as identifier for the target of a dataflow, not transfer structure.
I assume there is a work around for this, but I can not think of anything except either
- reconfigure the SAP BW implementation or
- re-develop my BODI DF's for each environment
Both options are high risk and will take a lot of extra work.
I have raised a SAP service message, because I think this is not working correctly, but I was wondering if anybody has dealt with this and knows an easy work-around?
Many thanks for your suggestions,
Jan.

THe only tricky thing is the configuration of the BW publisher. But you can find enough information about this in the referenced posting. The rest of the installation configuration is the same as when integrating a single SAP BW system with BOBJ. Ingo has created the following blo, which can guide you through this:

Logical system same in DEV/QAS/PRD for ALE

Hi friends,
We haven't used ALE but now need to set it up. Problem is, DEV and QAS are copies of PRD so all three have the same logical system name. I read about how using bdls to rename the logical system can create inconsistencies and am worried it can ruin our transport system.
Appreciate your comments, thanks & best regards.
Claudio

Using BDLSS in comaprsion to BDLS - logical systems can also be converted remotely in all partner system.

Overhead Rates Maintenance in DEV,QAS & PRD Systems

Hello All,
I need your expert advice on this topic. "What is the best practice to maintain OH rates in SAP Systems across the landscape". Any link to document, whitepaper or knowledge link is very welcome.
I am aware that it can be maintained after making the system modifiable. But being a basis guy, i am against this method and am on the look out for the best process to do it.
Points will be awarded for sure for worthy answers.
Best Regards,
Sri

Hi,
To define the overhead method, choose:
Period-end closing->Single functions->Accrual calculation->Extras ® Settings->Percentage method, or
Planning->Planning aids->Accrual calculation->Extras->Settings->Percentage method
Using the overhead structure display for the given controlling area, you can maintain, create, or call up information on accrual calculations for selected objects.
To do so, choose one of the following objects either by double-clicking on it or by choosing Goto from the menu:
Base (basis for calculation): You specify the base cost elements that are to be assigned overhead per controlling area. Choose Where-used list->Overhead structure or Controlling area to display whether and where the base cost element assignments exist.
O/H rate (overhead rates): Determines plan and actual overhead rate percentages for each controlling area applying to a particular validity period. On the overhead list screen, the Assignments indicator shows whether individual overhead rates exist.
To check the assignment of the current object (calculation base, overhead rate, or credit) and to display the assignments per controlling area, per overhead structure and the structures not used, when maintaining the above-mentioned accrual data, choose Where-used list-> Overhead structures or Controlling area (see: Where-Used List for Accrual Calculations).
Controlling->Cost Center Accounting-> Planning->Planning Aids->Accrual Calculation-> Percentage Method->Maintain Overhead Structure.
- Actual Postings->Period-End Closing->Accrual Calculation->Percentage Method-> Maintain Overhead Structure.
Save your entries.
Hope this helps you.

SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 connect to SAP R/3 Three System landscape (DEV QA and PRD)

Hi,
We have successfully installed SOLMAN 4.0 SR2 (ABAP + JAVA) on
WIN2003 SP2 EE MSSQL 2005 EE SP1.
I just want to activate the service so that SOLMAN could see my existing SAP R/3 4.6 C Three system landscape (DEV QAS PRD).
I heard settings should be done on SPRO IMG configs. Could anyone tell me the exact procedure to navigate on it. I see a lot of buttons to config and execute, Just want to make sure everything will be in order.
My SLD is directly installed locally on my SOLMAN server.
Thanks,
Simoun

Hello Simoun,
Telling from your last sentence I assume that you would like to connect SolMan (transaction SMSY) to your locally installed SLD or in other words: replicate SLD system data into SOLMAN system landscape SMSY.
Please check this document:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000538663&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_OBJECT=011000358700000530282007E
Here you find information covering prerequisites, required SAP Solution Manager IMG configuration to connect SLD and SMSY and frequently ask questions (FAQ-like).
I hope this helps you to get started.
Regards,
Doreen
