Sap product testing

Hi people,
What are the roles and responsibilities of a Product Testing consultant?
What is the skill set as a pre-requisite for a functional consultant to start involving in the Testing Process?
Max points assured for an exhaustive reply.
cheers,
Mark

Hi,
Is there any specific requirement from client to cover 2 spec. in one MiC?
other wise you create 2 different MIC and do result recording and valuation.
Thanks

New version of sapyto - SAP Penetration Testing Framework

Hello list,
I'm glad to let you know that a new version of sapyto, the SAP Penetration Testing Framework, is available.
You can download it by accessing the following link: http://www.cybsec.com/EN/research/sapyto.php
News in this version:
This version is mainly a complete re-design of sapyto's core and architecture to support future releases. Some of the new features now available are:
. Target configuration is now based on "connectors", which represent different ways to communicate with SAP services and components. This makes the
framework extensible to handle new types of connections to SAP platforms.
. Plugins are now divided in three categories:
     . Discovery: Try to discover new targets from the configured/already-discovered ones.
     . Audit: Perform some kind of vulnerability check over configured targets.
     . Exploit: Are used as proofs of concept for discovered vulnerabilities.
. Exploit plugins now generate shells and/or sapytoAgent objects.
. New plugins!: User account bruteforcing, client enumeration, SAProuter assessment, and more...
. Plugin-developer interface drastically simplified and improved.
. New command switches to allow the configuration of targets/scripts/output independently.
. Installation process and general documentation improved.
. Many (many) bugs fixed. :P
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Mariano

Hi Mariano,
Thanks for the update.
We implemented secinfo restrictions 5 years ago, but used a rather complicated approach. We did some tests today (the "local" setting works okay so far) and will continue tomorrow.
We now use the HOST and USER-HOST set to "local" and let the application security deal with who-can-do-what and this works quite well; though we have encountered some external 3rd party server programs in some cases. It seems to be popular amongst the business folks and some of the products use the gateway monitor to comunicate with the SAP system to find out when it has completed processing.
I think this is a design error, but they of course think otherwise
What was interesting to note, was that we locked ourselves out of an unprotected system. We changed the gw/monitor from 2 to 1 in a test. This worked. But then the gwmon cannot be used to change it back to 2! To we tried RZ11, and experienced the same. So we changed it to 0 in a test, and then 1 was blocked as well. This appears to be implemented in the kernel, as even hobbling the application coding does not help. The parameter is only dynamic when decreasing the value and increasing the security.
We had to restart the whole system for the instance profile to take effect again. Rather noisy and a few developers could take an additional 10 minute coffee break as a result
We are testing this on 3 different releases with different config:
- 4.6C (46D)
- 6.40
- 7.00
The different config relates to:
- gw/sec_info
- gw/monitor
- auth/rfc_authority_check
Our intention behind this is to improve baseline security and harden some special systems further.
Cheers,
Julius

Installation of SAP products on older 32-bit serves

Hi,
I have a special testing project. We want to install multiple SAP products on older 32-bit servers. These will be used in a proof-of-concept testing.
we will install these products on Windows 2003 32-bit with 4GB of RAM
Products to be installed:
SAP ECC 6.04 (EHP4)
SAP PI 7.11 (EHP1)
SAP SCM 7.01 (EHP1)
I looked in the PAM but am not still clear if these products are allowed to be installed on 32-bit.
Note that performance is not important and that I udnerstand that with 4GB per server, It will be tight.
thanks.

thanks,
I found a note in the ECC6-EHP4 installation guide.
You need to consider the following constraints before you start your installation:.u2039m×ùs
Your operating system platform must be 64-bit.
NOTE
The only instance, you can still install on 32-bit is the dialog instance
I might install these products is SR2 mode and patch them afterward... or I will ask for 64-bit servers.
Thanks.

Readymade eCATT Scripts Available in a SAP Product?

Hi Experts/Guru's,
I'm exploring few things and like to understand them on customer perspective?
As we know,there are lots lots lots of eCATT Scripts available in SAP for their products & Application.
Is it (eCATT Scripts)shipped with SAP Products ?( eg: ECC 6.0 )
(I'm not talking about the explantory scripts of eCATT shipped with the product).I'm aware of this.
My Question is Say Create a Sales order,purchase order or a Business scenario?Will i have some scripts available in a SAP Product ?
Or
Is it downloaded from the SAP Support Portal ?
Or
Is it delivered to customer on request ?
If the answer is "yes" for anyone of these then,my question is, How & where do we do this?
Your answers might help in lot in this group.If you dont know.Please take it as investigate topic and try to find out as like me.
Regards,
Venky

Hello,
Yes for few of the industries the eCATT's are shipped like in case of OIL industry . But this is a rear case.
Most of the time the eCATT's are not shipped and its used internally within SAP by the SAP test team to check for the correctness of the functionality and to perform regular regression runs. Reason as to why its not shipped is that once its shipped to the customer then there is a need to setup a seperate team for maintenance of the scripts which is a huge task.
Also the eCATTs created might not be applicable for all possible options of the transaction , it means it might not be reusable for all the conditions.
There are many more reasons.
Hope it answers your question.
Thanks & Best regards,
Ajay

Are Solaris Zones approved for SAP production environments?

All,
I am trying to find an official document from SAP that confirms that Solaris Zones are approved for use in SAP NW production environments. I checked the product availability matrix but it does not address Containers or Zones.
Thanks,
Guenther

They don't state it explicitly because you can use it. I comes with the operating system and if they would deny that, there would a be a note stating that explicitly.
On top of that, SAP would not create notes how to install and configure a zone if it wouldn't be supported
We run many instances under zones (production, test, sandbox) and make use of ZFS heavily and it works like a charm.

How do I know if I can install a JAVA component on a SAP product ?

Dear SAP,
I have a generic question.
I need to know if a JAVA Component can be installed in a system.
Let's take an example :
==> There is EP Core Java Component.
==> My question : May I install this JAVA Software Component EP Core in a SAP SRM 7.0 / NW 7.01 system ?
I know there is http://service.sap.com/scl link which explain the content of each SAP Product and SAP Software Component.
But how do I know if a specifif JAVA Component (example EP Core, SAP MDM Server, ...) can be installed on each SAP AS-JAVA ?
Best regards
CP2009

Dear CP2009
This information is stated in guides but a quick trick can be the following
Go to [https://service.sap.com/sp-stacks] and click on "sp stack download" in the left pane menu.
Then select your product version on right pane for example SP Stack SAP SRM 7.0
This will open a popup window
Fill in start stack and target stack (can be whatever in this case, it's just to check what usage types are available)
On one of the next screen you will have to choose which usage types are installed.
From that screen I can derive that for product "Portal Content SRM" or "SRM Supplier Java" you need component EP Core.
Kind regards
Tom

SAP Product and REACH Compliance 2.0 dese not add-on in SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5

hi experts,
I upgraded ECC 6.0 EHP5 and then try to add-on SAP Product and REACH Compliance 2.0 in SAP ECC 6.0 EHP5.
I aleady knew REACH 2.0 is available with ERP 6.0 EHP5 through Note 1389561 - SAP PRC 2.0: Installation and upgrade for ERP 6.0 and SAP Note 1456663 - SAINT: Enhancement Package 5 components on NW 7.02.
But unfortunately, When I try to install REACH 2.0 using SAINT, The error message was pop-up
========================================================================
OCS package SAPK-360COINTDAGBCA does not match the current software component vector
========================================================================
any idea pleas...
For reference
==========================
tp version : 720 patch 90
R3trans version : 720 patch 89
SPAM/SAINT : 7.02/43
SAP_BASIS : 702 sp 07
SAP/EA_APPL : 605 sp 04
Thanks and regards,
Jun

Hi Jun,
You could check the upgrade logs and traces at the location ../usr/sap/<sid>/upg/abap/logs.
Check for the latest last changed logs. Mos probably a prerequisite package for the REACH 2.0 installation is not included in the upgrade. The detailed logs should mention which prerequisite is missing.
Fore reference see thread: EHP4 upgrade error on SAPK-603DHINEAPS

SAP Product and Portfolio Management Upgrade(PPM)

HI Everyone, A warm reagrds! W e are planning to upgrade our current SAP Product and Portfolio Management 4.0 to 5.0.While doing the Upgrade analysis I have come across below these questions..Has anyone earlier in this forum have come across
1.What are the side effects of this upgrade on existing system?
2. We have 21 client environment on top of the 3 standard clients provided by SAP. What can be the best approach for upgrading the systems? Some of these clients are used by project teams for prototype development , how would the upgrade affect their working (they are not working on this package)?
3. Our team is working on this package in one of the client and have created scenarios in the system. What will be the effect of this upgrade ? (this question can be seen as an extension to question 1)
4. How much effort would be required to carry out this upgrade and what will be the down time for the system?
I have check the service market place and help.sap but at present not getting much info..
Thanks for your time to read.. Please help!1

Hi,
it is an own separate NW AddOn, see SAP Note 1377104 (FAQs - SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0).

Advantage of using SAP product over third party products

Hi All,
I want to know whether there is any advantage of creating SAP product over the third party products in SLD.And if we want to remove Product at later stage can we do that ?
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Are you talking about creating an SAP product under SLD? For client developements it is suggested to create only 3rd party products in SLD for developing the interfaces.

Which SAP products would address these issues

Dear All,
We have implemented ECC 5.0 version of SAP in feb 2006, we are evaluating Hyperion for the undermentioned management requirements
1) Business Planning
2) Balance Scorecard
3) KPI Reporting and Strategic management
4) MIS Reports ( yeraly/halfyearly/Quarterly/monthly/ daily)
5) Profitability Analysis & Simulation
We are in talks with SAP implementation partners also , but we are not sure how SAP currently fulfills all the above requirements ?
In ECC 5.0 we have licenses for BIW 3.5 and SEM, the doubts are
1) Which has better product features SAP products or Hyperion ?
2) Which is the most cost effective solution especially for us since 95% of our data is in SAP ECC 5.0 ?
3) Which additional Licenses we will have to buy to get the best features ?
4) What hardware requirements will have to be fulfilled for above management requirements. ?
Detailed answers are welcome.
Regards
Milind Nair

SSM for the balanced scorecard
BPC for high-level, top-down planning and mutli-year projections
PCM for accurate, bottom-up operational cost and profitability managment, also for simulation of cost changes, activity / quantity changes and impact on product, customer or segment profitability
They are all part of SAP's latest EPM suite

SAP Production Systems Database backup failed

Dear Guru,
I have been facing a problem with our SAP Production system's oracle database backup for last three days. Our back up goes through TSM server. At night 10 pm we have schedule backup for whole offline + redo log backup, 11 pm check and update optimizer statistic and at 11:30 pm Check Database. For last three days above mentioned backup getting failed and we are not able to get such a details log by which i can understand the issue. But Our Development server and Quality server's backup which are scheduled at 12 am and 2 am, the both backup schedules finish successfully. And in morning all schedule backups of Production systems finish without any errors. The issues is coming only with Whole database backup + redo log Backup which schedule at night 10 pm. I have mentioned the log whatever i have got in below:
07.02.2012     07:30:06     Job started
07.02.2012     07:30:06     Job has exceeded its latest start date
07.02.2012     07:30:06     Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Above mentioned logs are showing 1day advance log where i have mentioned yesterdays log. That means it should shows 06.02.2012 instead of 07.02.2012 and time should be 22:00:00 instead of 07:20:06.
Our Oracle version is 10.2.0.4.0/ kernel release 701/BRBACKUP 7.00 (40)
Please Guide me.
Regards,
Samrat Chakraborty

OK,
this has nothing to do with brbackup or TSM.
You batchjob starts at 07:30 !!!
Means before that, you do not have any action at all.
Then the job crosschecks it has passed its intended startdate and terminates,
which is correct, since you do not like brbackup to shut down your DB at 07:30!
No brbackup is started at all, which is why you get no log and no tsm connect takes place.
I assume, you misconfigured some operationmodes and at 07:30 an OP-modeconfiguration
with batchjobs switches back in place so that the jobs do start too late.
Check RZ04 and the OP mode timetable
If it is not this, it has to be something else with the batch scheduler causing delay
or may be all BTC processes are busy, but this seems unlikely with a start at 07:30 sharp..
