SAP support for ARTS POSlog format

Dear all,
We are trying to integrate SAP with a 3rd party POS solution. The 3rd party POS generates ARTS IXRetail POSLog V2.2 format.
However in the ARTS webpage, we find that SAP conforms to POSLog V2.1.
We believ that this might be a little old, and want to just confirm if SAP indeed confirms to the latest POSLog v2.2 format?
Regards
Gaurav

Hi Masa,
As i debugged the Travels entityset, while moving the last row on the internal table to the et_entityset there is a error in assigning timestamp value to 'LastChangeDate'.
Also every time i see it is giving the error only while assinging last row of the internal table to the et_entityset.
PS: I have seen a SAP note - 1803227 for this kind of type conversion error.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3375127
I see this note is for IW_BEP - SAPK-20007INIWBEP, but we have IW_BEP - SAPK-20008INIWBEP in backend.
Let me know if any other notes i have to implement.
Thanks for your responses.

Captivate 3 support for Open Document format?

Hi,
Does anyone know about support for Open Document Format in Captivate 3? (OpenOffice presentations)
Is it possible to save OpenOffice presentation in open document format or does it have to be saved as microsoft power point file?
What about Captivate 4? Any improvement?

On the OpenOffice.org site, look under projects, and there's an Open Document Toolkit for Java. I've no idea of its status though.

Until when give SAP support for version 7.30?

Hello,
Until when give SAP support for version 7.30?
How is the update from SAP GUI 7.30 to 7.40 handle?

Hello Herr Jürs,
As per the attached note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/147519
support ends in July
SAP GUI for Windows Support Deadlines
7.30: Full support up to July 15th, 2015. On July 15th, 2015 the used development environment Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 will transit to Microsoft's "Extended Maintenance" mode. This means that Microsoft will not create any corrections for components which belong to this development environment anymore (unless the issue is security relevant). Therefore no extension of full support for SAP GUI for Windows 7.30 beyond this date is possible.

Migration and SAP Support for BW 3.1

Hi,
I have couple of queries regarding Migration and SAP Support.
What is the required patch level that need to be mantained in BW 3.1 for a direct upgrade to BI 7.
I would like to know whether SAP still supports BW 3.1. I searched in SAP Service marketplace, but didn't get much information regarding this.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Aperture support for unsupported raw formats

I was doing some tests with Aperture to see if it could fit my workflow. My concern was support of old files from a Nikon Coolpix 5400, raw (thanks to firmware update at the time) as well as a recent Nikon DSLR. No problem with the DSLR. 5400 was not supported. After some internet research I found out there is a pref file (Raw.plist in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources) that has info about all supported cameras. This add raw support for the cameras listed in the file for Preview, iPhoto, Aperture (system-wide). Same list that Apple provides as camera compatibility list.
In that list I chose to duplicate the NIKON-E8400 array and renamed it NIKON-E5400. Didn't change any value in the array. To my surprise, even without rebooting, this added support for the Nikon Coolpix 5400 images. The image looks pretty much the same with these default settings (when opened in Preview for example) than it does in ACR in CS2. The only odd difference is the image size loosing 10 vertical pixels (from 2592x1944 opened in ACR CS2 to 2592x1934). I have no idea why it does this but it is no big deal really as it is no scaling, just loss of pixels.
I am a bit concerned of course about the possibility to carry on this tweak in the next OS updates.
I guess any raw from any camera could have support this way.
Just need to name the array in Raw.plist properly. For mine I just opened a raw in text edit and saw first line the name of camera, was "NIKONE5400". I compared the format of this name to other names in the array and decided to add the "-" to look like others so "NIKON-E5400", and that was it. Now I was lucky the default setting for the 8400 I used as a base worked for the 5400, apparently. It could have not been the case and then I would have had to play with the values in the array. Quite a few so a long process I am afraid, but possible.
The deal would be to release a little utility software that would let us play with these values easily and see a result live on a sample image, and once satisfied it would modify this Raw.plist file. This way people could add support to their own raws.
If anyone in the know sees a big issue in doing what I did please tell.
Of course playing with this Raw.plist file is at your own risks so keep backup and bee careful.
The tweaking of this raw.plist file had been talked about in different forum in the past concerning the support of Canon 3xxD that had a different US name Rebel something. The change of name of the corresponding array added support before an OS update did it for everyone.

I also modified my Raw.plist file to import RAW files from my Olympus C-5050Z. But that doesn't make Aperture import a type of RAW file it didn't support before. It just turns out that your Nikon 5400 RAW files are the same format as the Nikon 8400 files except for size, just as my Olympus C-5050 files are substantially similar to the Olympus C-7070 files. I think the Raw.plist file used by ImageIO contains hints on how to treat the data and color in the images and as long as the cameras don't behave too differently, substituting one model with another will work.
The RAW.plist file is a standard plist file that can be examined and modified with the Property List Editor. What I would like to see is documentation of the parameters so that we can more easily add support for cameras that aren't supported out of the box.

ICloud support for .pdf file format

Support for FITS file format

Hi,
I'm thinking about upgrading to 4.0 (from 2.0) but was wondering if anyone could tell me if 4.0 has support for 16 bit color depth? I generally use elements to do post-processing of astro images. These images are in fits format and there is a free plug in available for them but they require 16 bit depth. The maker of the plug-in makes no mention of 4.0 but says it works in 3.0. Here is a link to the plug-in:
http://www.spacetelescope.org/projects/fits_liberator/index.html
Here is partial requirements they list on their site:
# Photoshop CS2 (best), or
# Photoshop CS (16 bit colour)
# Photoshop Elements 3.0 (partly 16 bit colour), or
# Photoshop 7.0 (only 15 bit colour, and only partial functionality for more than 8 bit colour)
# Photoshop Elements 2 (only 8 bit colour) (Elements 1.0 NOT supported)
Also does 4.0 have support for actions like Photoshop cs? I'm on limited budget so I prefer not to upgrade to PS CS2 if I don't have to.
TIA,
Fred

How to extend interMedia to support for new Image Format

Does anyone here has experience to extend interMedia to provide support for a new image format.
I have read the related chapter in Oracle Intermedia User Guide, I'm not very clear about it. Hope a step-by-step tutorial for this topic is available.
Thanks in advance for any idea

Can you send the details of your application to [email protected] and explain the reasons extensibility is needed by your application?
At this time, the only way to extend formats is to write your own procedures (ususally java stored procedures) to populate the image object... This does not extend the image processesing functionality to the new image format. Internally, this requires a translation to and from an intermediate format.

A video codec or support for a compressed format (ZEN

i was wondering if creative could include support for some form of compressed video format in the next firmware release for the Creative Zen V Plus. i ask this as the supplied video converter uses incredibly large amounts of space even for a small video file since the avi is uncompressed (afaik)
could support possibly be added for wmv or something as that is relati'vely small and it would be great if the player could support it.
please reply as this is a very common 'issue' for most owners of this mp3 player.

SAP support for country-specific legal requirements

Just wondering if anyone could clarify how does SAP support work for the country-specific legal requirements. I'm sure in every country some new laws come to life regularly that affect the SAP customers and their ERP systems.
Case in point - on July 1st Mexican authority SAT decided to ask businesses to send them some XML files with some GL account information ('Anexo 24' - see the announcement in Spanish here). The deadline for the first file submission is October 2014.
This clearly affects every single SAP customer in the whole Mexico, as well as potentially many North America customers who have manufacturing facilities there. So would it be reasonable to expect SAP to come up with some standard solution? XML file extraction doesn't seem to be incredibly complex to me (although I might be off).
Another question - how would the customers know that SAP is aware of new laws and is taking some action? Could there be an announcement posted somewhere? There is a website for SAP Latin Americabut the latest announcement there is from June and nothing else is on the home page except for the HANA ads. (My Spanish is limited to "dos cervezas por favor", sorry if I missed something.)
In absence of such communication, naturally, the only option the individual customers have is to send a message to SAP. And that's where SAP replies with a copy/paste text (we got the same exact response as another SCN member here):
Feel free to maintain this incident opened, but contact us in the next three weeks, then we will be able to confirm if this legal requirement will be supported by SAP.
I'm confused - "IF"?! This is a legal requirement, there is no "if" for the business. Let's see if I got it right - we wait for 3 weeks, then SAP decides "nah, not gonna support that" (by the way, why is it on the customers to contact support again?) and every SAP customer in the whole country will have to scramble their own resources or pay for consulting (on top of SAP maintenance fees) to deliver the same exact set of programs on their own in under 2 months?
It could've been just an unfortunate choice of verbiage by Global Support, but I'm curious - is this really how the support for legal requirements supposed to work?
Thank you.

Hi Jelena,
Having been part of the SAP Globalization Services in Brazil, I understand a little bit of that process.
A few comments:
1) Localization of SAP solutions to country-specific regulation is under the responsibility of an area called Globalization Services. You can find more info about what they do here:
http://service.sap.com/globalization
2) Typically, those country-specific requirements are discussed in much details on the local ASUG chapters (at least that's how we did it in Brazil). That's why it's usually hard to find material in English, but I'd say that your local IT/Biz people in Mexico should be regulars in their local ASUG meetings, specially if they have a specific chapter to discuss Localization matters.
3) I found out this note with more specifics about "SAT Anexo 24".
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2041490
Apparently SAP is still analyzing it.
Suggestion if you want to speed the analysis up: reach out to your commercial contact in SAP.
4) Regarding your statement about the time it takes for the analysis & delivery to take place.
As an SAP customer, you have all the right to complain about the service level you're getting, it's just that, having been on the other side of the table, I know some facts that sometimes may be taken for granted. For example, SAP do not have infinite maintenance resources. I do understand that all customers pay maintenance and need to have their demands addressed, but SAP does not have a bench of developers available for whenever a new demand appears. If there is a new demand, they need to estimate the efforts and accommodate it into the development resource planning.
5) From a legal perspective, there is a difference between Legal Change and New Legal Requirement. The latter, if differing too much from the initial purpose of the acquired software, might not necessarily be required by the Software provider to be fulfilled within the maintenance scope. I'm not saying that it's the case for this Mexican requirement, I'm just saying there is this possibility, generally.
My personal recommendation: get your local Mexico people to be closer to the SAP Mexico team. They are usually responsible to publish information about such local requirements and the SAP release plan.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Henrique.

Sap support for standard prog. w/ custom implem of implicit enhanc.points

Hello,
since 1 year I've been confronted to SAP customers which WIDELY implement Implicit Enhancement Points (IEP).
I have been really surprised that my customers undoubtly think, if a problem occurs in a standard program where there are lots of IEP custom implementations, and if my customers estimate after investigation the problem comes from the standard part and not from the IEPs, they think that SAP support would help them to solve the issue.
Note: as a consequence, they created much more IEP in ECC 6 than they did in the past with R/3 old releases (via changes of the standard, aka repairs)!
What I think, is that SAP SUPPORT WOULDN'T HELP them as long as there is custom code (even within IEPs) in the standard program, even if there is only one IEP with one line (because it could change completely the standard algorithm, for example by emptying a global internal table)
So, I think the only way to get help from SAP is to deactivate these IEP implementations before requesting support. And so, the only solution to deactivate them, customers MUST assign IEP implementations to a package and then to a switch and then to a business function, so that they can deactivate it via switch framework.
The main concern is that my customers didn't create switch/business function, so they cannot react quickly if a problem happens in production : reproduce in test system, deactivate custom IEPs by switching off business function (it's what they didn't do), reproduce with full standard to determine problem comes from standard, request help from sap).
Could you share with me what is your approach about implementing IEPs, and maybe, is there somewhere a SAP documentation which explains that officially?
I hope I was clear.
Thank you very much for your kind help.
Best regards,
sandra rossi

I played around a bit with this (as I had never done it before) and also from what I have read, the intended option is the switch framework.
I guess as plan B you could have a virtual system or reliable test environment in which you can disable the enhancement and bring it back again via version management - but from what you have described (IEP deleting gobal variables, etc) this would also remove the "bug" and make the problem difficult to reproduce.
Perhaps the next best thing (unless someone has a better idea) is to inform your customers about neatly organizing their software developments using packages and switches.
To my knowledge, the syntax checks are also getting stricter in this area (as you may have noticed) and I hope that (for some of them) will throw errors one day during the development stage already.
Sorry, that does not help you much (but at least you read "the rules"
Cheers,
Julius
ps: A dirty way of doing it would be to run the program in the new debugger, and skip over the enhancement using the Go-To function. Unlike the classic debugger, the code inbetween does not need to be debugged. Ugly, but effective...

SAP Support for Classic G/L in ECC 6.0 and above

Hello,
Running an SAP upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 (EHP6). The customer is running the existing release since the past 8 years with FI/CO, MM,SD,PM and HCM modules.
We are exploring the possibilities and repercussions of moving on to new G/L from the legacy classic G/L. Please have a look at the mentioned points for replies accordingly.
1. As far as I understand, if need to seamlessly transit in the ECC 6.0 with New G/L in a way that the old transactional data, and all balances are retained with historical records, then we need to purchase the SAP New G/L Migration Services, and this would be lead and done by SAP. There is no alternate way of doing it solely by our ownself, Is this correct ?. If we engage SAP for this migration exercise and consulting then does it ensure that all historical data and balances are moved intact in the new G/L environment and from an end user perspective all transactional done to date before moving in ECC 6.0 are retained.
2. I guess we still need to review the integration impact of the new G/L for all other modules, is there a substantial rework to be done or with minimal effort, new account assignments and related configuration can be altered .
3. If we don't opt for SAP G/L Migration service but still want to activate and use the new G/L and profit center accounting, then as far as myself and my team assess, we need to decide a cutover date and gather the balances/open items from the legacy G/L and upload them to the new G/L in ECC 6.0, just as it would be the case for a fresh new implementation for a customer coming from non-SAP environment. If this is correct then :
The customer will lose all historical, detailed transactional data with respect to the legacy G/L and relevant originating entries. In such case for any business reporting requirement, the customer has to keep a separate PRD server alive in a dormant state for fetching the data before the transition in ECC 6.0 environment. Is this the correct understanding and the only possible approach, can there be a better way of ensuring the availability of historical data.
In such a case of doing a cutover data migration from old G/L to new G/L, do we have to upload the rest of the master/transactional data for all other modules as well, enacting a situation that all of them started as fresh new modules in ECC.6.0, or the legacy master / transactional data for all other modules can be kept intact for historical purposes. (examples, all vendors and PO / sales order and customer master / employee master and all payroll historical records for past 8 years).
4. Any indication or official SAP note, that for how long SAP intends to support the legacy G/L in the upcoming ECC versions. It is necessary to know in case the customer currently opts for still continuing with the classic G/L in ECC 6.0 , but we have a lurking danger that SAP would stop the support and availability of legacy classic G/L in the near future. So to a have a long term sustainable benefit, we might deliberate with the customer to take a bitter sip now , and move on to the new G/L with all its bells/whistles and the nuisances it might bring in terms of historical transaction data unavailability.
I hope i was able to make my scenario clearly understandable for having some valuable input from the forum members.
Thanks a lot for reading and replying.

Hi Syed,
From Technical basis perspective there is not much work in newGL migration apart from application and database tuning.
Time taken for migrating to newGL will depend upon number of open items available in the system at the time of migration.
Most of your queries are functional and suggestion would be to move this thread to ERP Financials.
For your information you may go through below links
