SAPOSCOL questions

Hi everyone,
In one of the application servers of our R/3 production system, I found this warning message (in bold letters) in the log file of SAPOSCOL:
01:29:15 05.11.2007 LOG: ===== Collector launch. ===========

What does this message mean? Below is kernel information for this app server:
SAP R/3 Kernel 46D

Support package number 1984
Also, in another application server of the same system, I do not see data for "Top CPU" (ST06 => Detail Analysis => Top CPU). Is there anything I can do to fix this? Below is kernel info for this app server:

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Kris,
On the second question, try running saposcol using a command like this: 'saposcol -o | less'
This should dump the current collection results from memory and should also allow you to see if the CPU information is being recorded.
If this information is not being recorded, then check the version of saposcol against the other systems.
Thanks,
Joe

CCMS configuration question - more than one sapccmsr agent on one server

Hello all,
this might be a newbie question, please excuse:
We have several SAP systems installed on AIX in several LPARs. SAP aplication server and SAP database is always located in different LPARs, but one LPAR can share application server of several SAP systems or databases of several SAP systems.
So I want to configure SAPOSCOL and CCMS-Agents (sapccmsr) on our databse LPARS. SAPOSCOL is running - no problem so far. Due to the circumstance that we have DBs for SAP systems with kernel 4.6d, 6.40 (nw2004), 7.00 (nw2004s) I want to use two different CCMS-Agents (Version 6.40 non-unicode to connect to SAP 4.6d and 6.40 + Version 7.00 unicode to connect to SAP 7.00).
AFAIK only one of these can use shared memory segment #99 (default) - the other one has to be configured to use another one (e.g. #98) but I don't know how (could'nt find any hints on OSS + Online Help + CCMs-Agent manual).
Any help would be appreciated
regards
Christian

Hello,
has really no one ever had this kind of problem? Do you all use either one (e.g. windows) server for one application (e.g. SAP application or database) or the same server for application and database? Or don't you use virtual hostnames (aliases) for your servers, so that in all mentioned cases one CCMS-Agent on one server would fit your requirements? I could hardly believe that!
kind regards
Christian

Questions in planning stage

Hi Experts,
These may be basic questions for you. But I have genuine concern on those so I would really appreciate if you can give some information on this.
How can we check if system is single code or MDMP system ? TCPDB doesn't show any entries. Any transaction ?
Whether communication from unicode to non-unicode system can have some issues ? I have a non-unicode landscape in ECC5.0 already at a different geography. In future after my CUUC is over then any issue may arrise from uc to non uc system communication ?
What are the steps to consider before starting actual upgrade (PREPARE) ? Some steps mentioned below, correct me if I am wrong and add more steps if anything missing :-
a. full system backup. Online /offline ?
b. keep interface details
c. note support pack versions, is there any prerequiste that in 4.6C support should be at a certain level or it can be any level. Once we upgrade to ECC5.0 then upto certain level support packs will be by default installed ?
Any other steps ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mike,
I believe there is lot of things u need to check prior to starting the PREPARE before taking the backup and all what ever u mentioned in u r query..
u need to read the upgrade guide and make note of all the things what ever they required for your upgrade.
but i have done upgrades recently so i thought i can share some information with you. if you are doing upgrade from R/3 4.6c then please concentrate on the below things if you are not doing from 4.6c then please read the guide and make note of all the things.
1) TCPDB table shows 0 entries, Yes there is one work around available for this problem in note 42305 and the work around needs to restart the system. please plan u r down time accordingly.
2) migrating the wokload statistics data as per note 1005238
3) R/3 4.6C Basis and ABAP Support Package 57
4) Chek the JSDK version to run the Upgrade Assistant Server
5)Export the customer-specific entries in table EDIFCT as per note 865142
6) check text Customizing in transaction VOTX as described in Note 900607
7) Execute Report from SAPnote 937389   (COEP) after upgrade
8) change the permissions of SAPOSCOL
the above all are prerrequisites for the upgrade... read the notes what ever i have mentioned above and try to analyze whether it will suits for your system or not.
and u need to do some pre processing steps like..
1) deletion of old update older than 6 months take the decsion from functional guys
2) deletion of lock entries
3) deletion of old batch inputs older than 6 months take the decision from fuctional guys
4) deletion of obsolete objects
5) deltion of old spool requests
etc etc... please check the upgrade guide and make a complete plan for you upgrade...
and read the below notes for your reference...
1)     821032
2)     525677
3)     1227677
4)     865142
5)     196113
6)     741280
7)     700779
8)     774615
9)     854170
10)     900607
11)     937389
12)     1134872
some of the above information will not be suitable for your environment but read and try to analyze the information and make a plan for your upgrade....
but my advice is to read the Upgrade guide completely....
Hope the above informatio will helps.

Here are some of the questions that I thought could be useful:
Briefly describe about your basis experience
What procedure would you follow to stop and restart SAP
What's the purpose of the file arch<SID>.log
When would you go for a full backup and when would you go for a whole backup?
Which transaction would you use to find out the last processed and saved archive log?
Where can I find the alert in SAP when a file system at UNIX is above 95%?
Where in SAP can I find if SAPOSCOL is running or not
What would you do to start SAPOSCOL?
How to find what's the latest patch level for HP-UX
Whats the procedure to install patches?
What kernel level were you at?
Whats the procedure to Upgrade Kernel?
What is a system copy, why would I need a system copy? How often have you performed a system copy? Can you explain the steps involved in performing a system copy?
How many Oracle upgrades have you performed for SAP?
Have you performed a language import to your system?
Explain your typical day of spool administration?
If I want to know who made the last change to a specific role how would you find it?
Which transaction would show roles added and removed from a user?
What is Central User Administration? And how would you perform user administration in a CUA environment?
Can I make any config changes in Production server?
Assuming the Development server is open for changes but, when you perform a config change and save it, its prompting you to create a transport request. What would I have to do to save config changes without creating a transport?
What storage array have you got exposed to?
What tape drives have you administered?
How would I stop a backup job at the Unix level?
What command would I use to find if a tape drive is UP or not?
Award points if my post is helpful.
Thank you.

Saposcol not belonging to Kernel 7.1 ?

Dear SAP colleagues,
I have downloaded the last SAP Kernel 7.1. The saposcol does not belong to kernel 7.1.
Question :
Is there any reason why the SAPOSCOL does not belong to Kernel 7.1 ?
Do we still need to have a SAPOSCOL for kernel 7.1 ?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Best regards

SAPHOSTAGENT takes over the saposcol control.
Look at the attached note for installation if you dont have hostagent running.

Questions
1)Should i clean the shared memory and start it freshly again???
2) Is it because of version of OS coll....because i checked on other systems the version was 20.95??
Suggestions will be appreciated

Hi Ameya,
it seems there is a complete issue with Authorizations of saposcol.
change u r permissions like the below with the user root.
chown root saposcol
chgrp sapsys saposcol
chmod 4750 saposcol
eg:-rwsr-x---1 root sapsys XXXXXX Mar XX XX:XX saposcol
read the complete Note 19227 - (open newest saposcol) for the more information.
Hope that will helps you.

SAPOSCOL update via SAPHOSTAGENT

Hi,
As of release 710, SAPOSCOL is run from library R3SAP400 if installed via the SAPHOSTAGENT SAR file according to note 1031096 and it's attachment that describes the procedure.
The library has the programs:
     R3INLPGM    *PGM      CPPLE                7376896 11/14/07 20:44:41
     SAPINIT     *PGM                           6762496 11/14/07 20:48:10
     SAPOSCOL    PGM                           5885952 11/14/07 20:39:28
      O4PRTLIB    *SRVPGM                        9330688 11/14/07 20:09:58
     SAPINIT     *JOBD                             8192
My question is how to update these executables from a newer SAPHOSTAGENT.SAR file?
I would think it necessary to stop SAPSOCOL first, but what about stopping the active instances and is it necessary to run saphostagent -uninstall first?
Kind regards
Michael Power

Hello Michael,
You do not need to uninstall the saphostagent.
The update of the saphostagent is the same procedure as the installation.
So follow all steps in note 1031096 for IBM i. And Immediately before calling
saphostexec -install stop the saposcol.
The rest will be done automatically:
-The old jobs will end.
-The code will be updated
-All programs (including saposcol) will be restarted
Normally you do not have to stop all instances. This is only needed if the shared memory layout of saposcol has changed. But then all instances have to be patched too.
Hope this will answer your questions
Kind regards

Only Three Questions !!!

Hi Experts !!
I have three questions, please clarify.
1) At OS level we have two SAP services that are running, first is the SAPOSCOL service and second is SAP<SID>_<Instance_no>
I know what SAPOSCOL do..but what is the role of this second service SAP<SID>_<Instance_no> ?
2) During a client export using scc8, it is said that upto three transport requests can be generated depending on the copy profile selected for export. Now to start this export process we have to schedule a background job and the export process will start asynchronously.
Now my question is how will i know which transport requests are created for this export .....I mean where will i see these created requests and when ( means are these requests created as soon as the background job is scheduled or after the completion of the export process ) ?
3) Suppose I have three application servers( one central and two dialog instance )for an R/3 system (say dev)
Now my question is how will I start or stop these servers....will SAP MMC will be present in all the three application servers and I need to log to each application server and start it OR only the central instance will have the SAP MMC and I can start or stop all the application servers from there ??
Thanks in advance. Points will surely be rewarded.
Mandeep

Hello Mandeep,
Here are the answers
1. SAP_SID_Instance Number service will help you in setting up auto start or manual start of SAP services when Windows comes up.
2. Once you use SCC8 and start the client export you can start monitoring it using SCC3 once the export is completed it will show in SCC3 what all the requests generated. These three Import requests are generated in STMS. You can go and check in import overview for the same import request and start the import of them in respective clients and system.
3. Hey Buddy each of these servers will have MMC on it.
Always you need to shutdown application servers first then CI. Then while starting Start CI then apps.
Thanks & Regards

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

Fresh J:
A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.

Jabber/WebEx Connect SSO Questions

I've got a few questions around exactly what needs to be done to get SAML working for our Connect accounts to successfully authenticate from Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
We have both a Meeting Center and Connect account under WebEx using Loose Coupled Integration. Just this past week I enabled SAML for our Meeting Center accounts which went off without a hitch with the exception of Meeting Center integration with Jabber, which is now broken with a message about SSO enabled Meeting Sites not being supported (I think this would maybe be fixed if we had Tight Coupled Integration with our two account?).
Anyway, my questions are...
For Windows, I understand all clients will need to be reinstalled with the MSI argument for the SSO_ORG_DOMAIN switch I've read about, is that correct? Are there any other switches needed for the reinstall?
How will this work with the Mac and mobile clients? There's obviously no command line options to specify for the installations here, will they just know to kick over to my IdP for authentication once they see an email address that falls under an org with SSO enabled? If so, why does the Windows client need to be completely reinstalled and not just know to find the IdP from the Cloud Connect service like Meeting Center does with the Productivity Tools?
We're just doing this for our Connect Web IM accounts, not attempting any sort of SSO with the phone accounts/UC integration yet.
Any ideas on getting the Meeting Center integration into Jabber working again?

I'd suggest posting your question over on the Jabber Pilot forum, as this forum is specific to Jabber Guest questions:
