SAP R/3 and miniSAP

Hi there,
I am new to SAP and I recently installed SAP R/3 on my computer which i had bought from Ebay...here is a link with the product that i installed.
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:11&Item=180087822187">SAP R/3 From EBAY</a>
Item number: 180087822187 on Ebay.com
However, after reading the introduction to SAP, I have come to realize that what I really needed to buy or install was SAP BW since Business Warehousing is the field that I want to pursue.
My computer has 2 hard drives (C drive has 160gb) and (E drive has 70gb)
SAP R/3 is currently installed on the C drive and works just fine.
I would to install miniSAP on my computer as well. However, I noticed that there was a restriction for installing miniSAP indicating:
"Make sure that no other SAP system is installed on your computer"
Is it possible to install miniSAP on my computer...but instead of installing it on the C drive....put it on the E drive. ?
It would be nice to have both SAP R/3 and SAP BW installed on the different hard-drives.
Please let me know if this is possible or what my options are.
Sorry for the looong story.
thanks
Kenny

If by miniSAP, you are referring to the current sneak previews (since you can't get miniSAP on SDN anymore), then yes, you can install both R/3 and sneak preview (ABAP SP11) on one machine.
That being said, if you really need to only work on BW/BI, then you don't really need R/3. Unfortunately, the download for ABAP SP11 is currently not available, hopefully it will be up soon.

SAP ECC6 memory and paging issues

Dear Experts
I have recently upgraded my 4.6C systems to an ECC 6 system (DB2 LUW 9.5 on AIX 5.3 TL9 64 Bit OS)
I have been running the LPAR with 14 GB of memory and we are around 100-200+ users using the system, I was monitoring using nmon and found that Physical Memory was around 99.8% Used   (14311.8MB and 22.6MB was free) also the paging space was around 37.2% in result causing the system at times to run slow which can have a very negative effect on the users.
After further investigation I found that after a system restart the Physical Memory would start around 50.9% and increased at a steady pace until it reached 99.8% that is when the system would start using the paging space which would steadily increase, I found that the only solution was a system restart at least once a week to reduce the memory consumption.
At first glance it looked like a database manger memory leak with the process db2sysc, so I searched the net with the search words u201Cdb2 memory leaku201D and found the following APARs and notes.
APAR JR30285 - Pervasive memory leak when compiling SQL statements that use SQL/XML functions
APAR IZ35230 - There is a pervasive unix-specific private memory leak in the security component
Note 1288341 - Memory leak in APPLHEAPSZ -> SQL0954C
Note 1352361 - Memory leak in shared memory area abrfci
Note 1147821 - DB6: Known Errors and available Fixes in DB2 9.5 LUW
After reading the notes and APARs I decided to updated DB2 to the latest fix pack (5SAP), but after the fix pack was implemented it did not solve the memory problem
I started look at different problems with SAP ECC6, db2 and AIX with paging/memory problems and I found the following notes to do with AIX memory and paging but none of them helped as all parameters and settings were set accordingly
789477 - Large extended memory on AIX (64-bit) as of Kernel 6.20
191801 - AIX 64-bit with very large amount of Extended Memory
973227 - AIX Virtual Memory Management: Tuning Recommendations
884393 - AIX saposcol consumes large amount of memory.

1121904 u2013 SAP on AIX: Recommendations for Paging
1086130 u2013 DB6: DB2 Standard Parameter Settings
After even more investigation I found the following evidence suggesting AIX Virtual Memory Manager might have a problem

SAP Business One and Moving Database Issue

We are in the process of moving our PROD system to a new server. The server runs MS SQL 2005. We installed SAP Business One and by default the demo databases went to the C Drive (C:/Program Files/MS SQL Server/..../Data). The SQL Server that exists has data on D partition and logs on E partition. We therefore dettach the database, copy the files to the correct locations, and reattach.
Now, however, the SAP Business One application no longer finds the Company or Demo databases. Is there any way to fix this?
Cheers John

you should post your question in the Business One section at SAP Business One Application

Sap-syscmd=nocookie and Statefull BSP's - Session timeout

I have a tricky problem - and I'am hoping for your helpfull input... please..
I have developed a Statefull BSP application - and this application should be called from a SAP CRM application - and it should be possible to call and execute this aplication in a new session everytime it's called from CRM (a new controller/model instance per call).
In the CRM application I can define the JavaScript which should be exectued in order to start the external application - and I have used the script window.open('bsp-url) to start my BSP application.
In my first attempt I ran into the problem that all new windows was started in the same new session - with the consequence that all new windows tried to use the same controller and model instance - leading to inconsistent data...
Then I read an SDN article about the parameter sap-syscmd=nocookie. With this url parameter it should be possible to force the BSP to be executed in a new session - and it works.... or... a new session is generated and the BSP generates the correct output after the initial call (and according to SM04 I have a new session). I was quite happy until I pressed a button in my BSP page triggering an HTMLB-event - which lead to the following error: "400 Session timed out - please login again". So it looks like the 1. part is okay with the new session - but the response generated and sent to the browser cannot frind it's way bay to the right session in SAP... what did I do wrong???

I have already tried with sap-sessioncmd=open - and the first time the call is made from CRM a new sesion is created and the BSP is intialized. But if I go back to the CRM application again (without closing the BSP window) and hits the button again - then a new window is created but no new session meaning that the underlying BSP is referenced in both windows - and producing wrong results (they both refer to the same instance of the BSP). When I use sap-syscmd=nocookie - I get a new window and a new session everytime I hit the button in CRM, but for some reason the page-output generated cannot find it's way back to this session afterwards...

Downloding the SAP master data and transaction data to a flat file

Hello All,
Is there any SAP standard method or transaction to download the SAP master data and transaction data to flat file.
With out using ABAP development, SAP had provided any tool or method to download the SAP system master and transaction data to flat file.
Thanks,
Feroz.

hi
as of now up to my knowledge no.

SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT, and SAP_JTECHS and Dev Configuration questions

Hi experts,
I am configuring NWDI for our environment and have a few questions that I'm trying to get my arms around.
I've read we need to check-in SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT, and SAP_JTECHS as required components, but I'm confused on the whole check-in vs. import thing.
I placed the 3 files in the correct OS directory and checked them in via the check-in tab on CMS.   Next, the files show up in the import queue for the DEV tab. My questions are what do I do next?
1. Do I import them into DEV? If so, what is this actually doing? Is it importing into the actual runtime system (i.e. DEV checkbox and parameters as defined in the landscape configurator for this track)? Or is just importing the file into the DEV buildspace of NWDI system?
2. Same question goes for the Consolidation tab.    Do I import them in here as well?
3. Do I need to import them into the QA and Prod systems too? Or do I remove them from the queue?
Development Configuration questions ***
4. When I download the development configuration, I can select DEV or CON workspace. What is the difference? Does DEV point to the sandbox (or central development) runtime system and CONS points to the configuration runtime system as defined in the landscape configurator? Or is this the DEV an CON workspace/buildspace of the NWDI sytem.
5. Does the selection here dictate the starting point for the development? What is an example scenarios when I would choose DEV vs. CON?
6. I have heard about the concept of a maintenance track and a development track. What is the difference and how do they differ from a setup perspective?   When would a Developer pick one over the over?
Thanks for any advice
-Dave

Hi David,
"Check-In" makes SCA known to CMS, "import" will import the content of the SCAs into CBS/DTR.
1. Yes. For these three SCAs specifically (they only contain buildarchives, no sources, no deployarchives) the build archives are imported into the dev buildspace on CBS. If the SCAs contain deployarchives and you have a runtime system configured for the dev system then those deployarchives should get deployed onto the runtime system.
2. Have you seen /people/marion.schlotte/blog/2006/03/30/best-practices-for-nwdi-track-design-for-ongoing-development ? Sooner or later you will want to.
3. Should be answered indirectly.
4. Dev/Cons correspond to the Dev/Consolidation system in CMS. For each developed SC you have 2 systems with 2 workspaces in DTR for each (inactive/active)
5. You should use dev. I would only use cons for corrections if they can't be done in dev and transported. Note that you will get conflicts in DTR if you do parallel changes in dev and cons.
6. See link in No.2 ?
Regards,
Marc

SAP R/3 and DSXI tool

Hi All,
Before posting this thread i have googled on how SAP DSXI tool can be used to ensure proper address data maintanance in SAP and couldnt succeed in finding any good info.
Our requirement is we use external tax system(Sabrix) for calculating taxes for R/3 transactions. As we know in U.S and Canada the one important parameter for calculating taxes is the Jurisdiction code of the customer. This will be determined by the third party system when ever any address data is maintained in SAP system either it is customer master, plant/shipping point etc...
The thing is to return a unique jurisdiction the third party system expects that SAP sends the complete address like country,state,district, postal code , Postal code +4 geocode value. When creating the customer master data manually or during mass upload our user will have only 5 digit Postal code/zip code, they dont have the information of +4 geocode value of the zip code (which becomes 9 digits in total). Since the geocode value is not maitained in SAP, the tax system wont be able to determine the jurisdiction and it errors out the transaction.
We thought of making it mandatory to enter the geo code value when the cusotmer master data is maintained, but this will not solve our purpose as most of the time at the time of customer master creation the users wont be having the +4 geocode value.
I heard about SAP tool "DSXI" which can be used to get the geo code value. Does any one have an idea on what is this tool and how it can be used / integrated with SAP and what features the DSXI tool is capable to do. Any inputs/documentation in this regard is highly appriciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Thanq so much for your inputs. Can we find any documentation in sap help or service.sap on how to integrate SAP and DSXI. Basically our requirement is when ever a customer master is created with out GEOCODE value (ZIP+4 value), that customer record need to be picked by DSXI and update it with the geo code value. For this we want to know any standard interfaces/programs exist to link up SAP R/3 and DSXI.
Thanks,
Srini

Timeouts increased after we moved USR, SAP data files and TLogs to new SAN

We are having issues with timeouts after we moved our USR, SAP SQL Datafiles and SAP Transaction Logs from our old SAN to a new SAN.
Timeouts for SAPGUI users are set to 10 minutes.
We are running Windows Server 2003 with SQL Server 2005.
The SAP database has 8 datafiles with a total size of about 350GB.
Procedure we used to move SAP to new SAN:
1. Attached 3 new SAN Volumes
     -a. USR
     -b. Data Files
     -c. Transaction Logs
2. Shutdown SAP and SQL services
3. Alligned the new volumes with a 1024kb offset and gave the Data files and Transaction log volumes a 64kb allocation
    size. (The alignment and 64kb allocation size were not setup for these volumes on the old SAN)
4. Copied the 3 volumes from old to new.
5. Changed the new volumes drive letter to the drive letters of the old volumes.
     -a. I had to restart in order to change the USR volume.
     -b. Because of this I had to resetup the sapmnt and saploc shares.
6. Started SQL services and then SAP services and everything came up just fine.
The week before we had anywhere from 1 to 9 timeouts per day.
This week: Monday had 20 and Tuesday had 26.
On Monday we saw that MD07 was the only transaction that was timing out, but Tuesday had others as well.
The amount of users in the system is about the same. The amount of orders going in are about the same. No big transports went in right before we switched.
Performance counters that I know about for disk look a lot better on the Data Files.
- PAGEIOLATCH_SH ms/request is about 50% better
- Under I/O Performance in DBACOCKPIT:
- MS/OP is now anywhere from 5 to 30 - Old SAN: 50 to 300
- The Hit Ratio is over 99% - same as the old SAN
Looking at Wiley Introscope graphs:
- The "SAP Host: Average queue length" is about 30% to 40% lower then the old SAN.
- the "SAP Host: Disk utilization in %" is about the same.
Questions:
1. Did we do anything wrong or miss anything with our move procedure?
     a. Do we have to do anything in SQL since we changed volumes even though we kept the drive letters the same?
2. What other logs or performance counters should I be looking at?
Thank you,
Neil

Our new SAN Vendor is Compellent. They have been fantastic. I would highly recommend checking them out.
The reasons for the timeouts had nothing to do with the SAN...Well kind of anyway.
I decided to check t-code SM20 to see what users were doing when these timeouts were happening. What I found was the program R_BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN was being called thousands of times in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes at random times through out the day. It would take up about 50 to 80 percent of the amount of programs being executed during these times.
So, I sent this information to our developers and they found out that R_BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN was being called from another program that was looping thousands of times. The trigger to stop the loop wasn't happening fast enough. They made a change and we haven't seen the timeouts since.
I think that the performance increases allowed the loop to run faster which caused the slow downs and timeouts to happen more often.
Thank you to everyone for their help!
Neil

OIM - SAP Employee Recon and SAP User Management Connectors vs. OC4J

In reading through the SAP connector documentation I've found that we cannot use OC4J to run OIM if the 9.0.3 SAP User Management Connector or SAP Employee Recon Connector is used. This is all related to a conflict in JDK versions supported between the SAP JCo (Java Connector) library and OC4J. A thought we've had is to use a Remote Manager for these connectors. Can anyone validate this approach? Is it possible to use a different JDK version with your remote manager? Is there another workaround that anyone is aware of?
Thanks

Hi,
The remote manager should work with different JDKs. We are going to be doing the same thing for one of our adapters.
As for SAP, I cannot think of another workaround -- we actually abandoned the SAP JCo approach and are doing web services with XI.
Thanks,

Reconciliation and data verification approaches for data in sap r/3 and bw

Hi
Cam anybody suggest what are the different reconciliation and data verification approaches to assure that BW and R/3 source data are in sync.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nisha.

Hi
What you can do is, go to R/3 transaction RSA3 and run the extractor, it gives you the number of records extracted and then go to BW Monitor to check the number of records in the PSA.
if it's the same, there you go.
there is an HOW-TO Document on service market place "Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP BW".
Check this document as well which is very helpful.
There is another HOW-TO document "Validate infocube data by comparing it with PSA Data". this is also a good document.
Hope it helps.

Idoc b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .

hi gurus,
how i pass an outbound idoc b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .
which function module we will use in this scenerio for inbound and outbound idoc both
please guide me with an example .

Hi Pawan,
Non SAP system should have RFC adapter in order to receive and send Idocs from/to SAP.
If this is not your case, you should us a Integrator Middelware with RFC and standard adapters like SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
If for example, your non SAP system is able to process data from flat files you can build next interface: SAP send Idocs to middleware that receive them using RFC adapter, middelware maps Idocs into flat file and send it to a one of non SAP system folder using FTP adapter. Non sap system triggers the flat file into its applications.
Reward points if useful.
