Sceduling -problem

Dear all
Scheduling does not happening in master recipe
i have checked following point
Resource -formula
planned scheduling parameter
process order scheduling paramete
I have used same resource and material in routing there scheduling working fine.
Kindly help

Dear,
Please check the scheduling type in OPUZ and OPU5 it should be Backward scheduling with automatic scheduling
In resource in capacity tap check the have you define the,
Factory calendar ID 01
Active version       1
Base unit of meas.   H
Start                00:00:00
Finish               24:00:00
Length of breaks     00:00:00
Relevant to finite scheduling Tick mark.
Control key should mark for scheduling and check formula also.
In master reciepe you have option for scheduling. go to transaction C202, and from menu you would find the option to schedule the recipe.

Rescue and Recovery - problem with sceduled backups

hello,
I use XP on a T61, with all latest updates...
It seems R&R does not complete sceduled backups or does not list the generated backup.
today (sceduled every 1st of month) it started and works, may be 1 hour, but no new entry in the list of backups was generated ? during run no messages were displayed except because of some files which were not able to save by r&r.
It seems, same problem was on 1 of january - no backup or/and no entry in list.
So I started another backup manually. this was ok and a now an new entry is in the list.
Does anybody have an idea ?
Could it be a problem with Norton Antivirus Protection ?
thank you for any help!
Hans

sorry i forget to mention that i an using thinkpad T400.

Problem with job sceduling

Hi experts,
i have schedule a job, but it could not executed because the system was down.
like i schedule my job at 1:00 PM, but system is shutdown at that time, so the job could not executed,
so i want to execute the same job again on some event like at system start etc.
how can i do this, please suggest
regards,

I believe that the link below will solve your problem ..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/c4/3a7f87505211d189550000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
For further reference you can use the book
*Job scheduling for SAP by Sap press ... *
Really good book ..
If your issue is that you want the job to happen if not at the scheduled time then at startup you can simply schedule the job twice both at the particular time as well as on Startup ..
Hope this helps ..

Performance problem for mass transactions after upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6.0

Hi All,
After upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 (IS-U), mass transactions such as FPY1, FPVA, FP04M are taking very long time to complete. for example, before upgrade the jobs sceduled for FPVA transaction take around 5k-6k seconds. Whereas after upgrade the jobs for FPVA with the same variant takes around 9k-10k seconds. I am unable to figure out the cause for exponential increase in the duration of several mass-jobs (after the upgrade). Are there any SAP notes or do we need to do any customizing setting to solve this problem? Does anyone face this kind of problem?
Thanks in advance
Taj

Hi,
This is normal after upgrade to 6.0, I have faced the same in all upgrades I've done and some others that I have involved also. If you did not requests and going live upgrade check I strongly recomend to schedule an Early Watch Check to minimize the impact. Times won´t be the same but can be very close if the system is tuned well. We have tuned systems that now run with good performance after this services.

Problem in Scheduling agreement in MM

Hi Guys,
I was trying to create Sch. agreement in the MM side.
Step1. Created S.Agreement with the transaction code ME31L.
Step 2. Maintained S.Agreement schedule lines using transaction code ME38.
Then when open up Me38 and see, there is a open target qty is '0'.
So what could be problem here, do I missing anything please explain me.
Even I tried to create MIGO the error message is "Document XXXXXXXX does not contain any selectable items.
So please some one explain me what could be the reason by getting open target qty is '0'.
If you need any further information please let me know.
Thanks
ANGKS

Dear
Check weather material type what you are using.
Check if you have release stretagy for that Pur docu Type.
If yes then
ME35L - Release by giving relese code.
ME38 - Maintain the Scheduling agreement.
Check delivery Scheedule History for that Scedule agreement for GR.

Scedule for triggering XI(BPM)

Hi,
My Scenario Database(JDBC)-- XI3.0--
SAP(RFC(synchronous))
Everyday Night once XI Trigger and fetch the data from JDBC and sends via RFC call to SAP and take the response and put the the Database via XI .So Here I planned to use the BPM
I readed some below blogs and i found there is two ways to trigger the BPM in XI.,
/people/community.user/blog/2006/11/16/step-by-step-realize-your-bpm-scheduling-capability -BPM Sceduling
/people/ganesh.karicharla2/blog/2008/02/08/periodic-scheduling-of-data-between-oracle-db-r3-system -Periodic scheduled in JDBC
One way is for JDBC Adapter is sceduling dialy and another way is for call the client proxy and pass the dummy data to trigger the BPM( this is a BPM sceduling).
I am using XI 3.0 and Service Pack 20.Here my confusion is which way is going to do better way in the case of Future also.
In the blogs writes , If i done JDBC adpter schedule,in the future any Patches are updated any problems comes under this Schedule process?
Kindly suggest me your valuble updates it would be help me lot.
Thank you very much.
Sateesh

In the blogs writes , If i done JDBC adpter schedule,in the future any Patches are updated any problems comes under this
Schedule process?
You have to re-schedule in such a case.......i think (not sure) there is even a SAP note mentioning the same..if i get hold of it will post the same.
Is it possible to stop the during weekends and holidays via Adapter Sceduling?
Holidays not possible....weekends can be done...can take reference from my replies here: Re: Communication Channel Scheduling only on certain days

Why my BPM related job goes to sceduled state in sxmb_moni?

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a unique problem in a sample BPM scenario. When I run this scenario my corresponding request in sxmb_moni goes to sceduled state. I have to go to QRFC monitor to unlock it. After this my BPM request runs to success. I am not able to understand why this is happening. Why it does not run in one go without getting locked in QRFC?
My BPM scenario is like this: I am sending a customer number from a ABAP program from SAP R/3 system to XI system via outbound Async interface. This inturn sends customer number to BPM via abstract interface. The BPM then gets customer data from MSSQL server via JDBC adapter and inbound interface.
This scenario is Async-Sync type.
I don't see any problem with the mapping, interface etc.
The scenario runs successfully once I unlock the request in QRFC monitor.
Can somebody help me identify the reason why my BPM request goes to sceduled state in sxmb_moni?

Can you try activating/registering your queues .
sxmb_adm -> manage queues -> activate queues / SXMB_ADM -> Manage Queues -> Register Queues.
Also in SMQ2 activate individual queues if any.

Problem with BPM

Hi,
My BPM Scenarios are working earlier. Suddenly all the scenarios are not working.All the messages are showing sceduled.
My scenarios are
IDOC-Webservice-IDOC ( Asynch-scnch scenario)
File-RFC-File ( Async-synch scenario)
other scenarios other than BPM are working fine.
What will be the problem.
Regards,
Jayasimha Jangam

Hi,
Can u check:
1) SXMB_MONI trace.
2) SMXB_MONI_BPE tcode
3) SXI_CACHE and check the status of BPM it shud be 0 if its not then try to activate the BPM.

DTW batch import problem

Hi all,
I've got a problem when trying to batch import from sql statement via odbc:
"Can not connect to ODBC data source" and then "Can not get SQL handler"
Manual import is working well with this odbc connection !
The statement looks like: SELECT ItemCode AS 'Record Key', ItemCode, 'Y' AS 'Properties1' FROM OITM WHERE ItemCode = '4711'
While manually importing I saved the xml and after that call: dtw.exe -s config.xml
I used a SQL (Server 2005) Native Client DSN and only set db auth (sa...) and left other properties as default
Anybody knows this behavior? Is the statement wrong? Or the odbc connection?
(DTW Version 2005.0.0.29)
Thanks in advance
Marco
Edited by: Marco Willems on Jun 29, 2010 6:34 PM

Hi Marco,
I checked this issue using the 2007A DTW (version 2005.0.30) and the 8.8 DTW (version 88.0.11). I haven't had success.
The 8.8 version runs without error but did'nt update my test item. If you run it manually, the DTW reports one updated value. If I run it by a command (DTW -S <File>) it runs fine and reports zero successful update.
I don't know if the DTW is able to run sceduled ODBC updates or not and would hope for an answer to this thread!
All the best

Messages with Status "Scheduled" or "Sceduled for Outbound Processing"

Hi All,
When i run my interface, sxmb_moni shows the status of messages as "Scheduled" or "Sceduled for Outbound Processing".
I know the reason and the problem gets resolved when I unlock the queues.
But, is there a solution that I can resolve this completely? Reason being, everytime the interface is triggered, I have to unlock the queues. And if it is ccBPM scenario, I have to unlock multiple times, to acheive the flow completion
Thanks,
Swapna

Hi,
Check if u have set the value for monitor parameter QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED to 1. default is 0.Also if your queues are registered in SMQR.Also checvk these reports
· RSARFCSE: Restart an LUW (background job)
· RSARFCEX: Restart tRFC LUWs (background job)
· RSQOWKEX: Restart QOUT qRFC LUWs
· RSQIWKEX: Restart QIN qRFC LUWs
Thanks!

Capacity problem in production order

Hi Friends
I am facing a serious problem in capacity evaluation. After MRP run with scedulling as 2. After this I am able to see the capacity in respective work centers for the planned orders. But when converted to production order I am not able to see. When I checked the order it is showing as "Order 60003310 has no requirements in the eval.period, so there is no display".
I dont have any clue as whats happening since the capacity is there till it is a planned order. Any suggestion?
Thanks & regds

Hi,
Your problem is with Evaluation period as system not displaying the capacity so first check whther is nay capacity requirement is there in this period you can check with CM01 also.
In OPD2.
Assuming you want to create a time profile for 2 months.
                                        Entry Type    Start Date     End Date
Database Read Period            J                -3                   3
The database read period specifies the period in which capacity requirements are read from the database. All requirements are accessed which are partially or completely
within the database read period.
Evaluation Period          G              -1           60
The evaluation period specifies the period over which data is formatted and displayed.
The evaluation period must lie within the database read period.
Planning Period            G              -1           60
The planning period defines the period in which the SAP system can carry out planning.
The planning period is smaller than or equal to the evaluation period. You cannot move operations outside the planning period. Equally, when automatic finite scheduling is
carried out for an operation the system only searches for a new date .
Please check and come back.

Problem related to delivery

After sales order created and saved
trying to do delivery (vlo1n). it is telling that 'no schedule line due for delivery upto the selected date'. What might be the problem.?

Hi Rajesh,
the error u are receiving means that the material u wana deliver can not be delivered today. Scedule line is nothing but your matl quantity with the delivery date. you must deliver the goods on the delivery date that the system has proposed for you(which depends upon your material master and sales document controls settings) or at a lter date that that.
So, you need to do PGI in the delivery(vl02n) on the date which is proposed by system in va01>item>scedule lines; or after that date.
So do the PGI on that date in vl02n n your problem will be solved.
Hope it clears your doubts.

Problem launching Resource planning tool

Hi all,
       I have some problem in launching the resouce planning tool,T-Code:CRM_DWP.
We have a freshly installed CRM 5.0 sytem,It is throwing me the following errors:
<b>1)Internal error in Business Object Layer, method: GET_TIMESPEC_TYPES</b>
<b>2)Serious internal error occurred that cannot be described in more detail</b>
Are there any pre requisite settings that are required before launching this tool?
please provide directions to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Sethu.

Hi Vick,
If you want to use service resource planning tool, you basically have to
decide the following:
1.   Whether you want to use SAP's Scheduling Engine (WFM Core), or an
       external scheduling engine.
2.   Whether or not you want to work with SAP R/3 HR integration. HR
       integration in this context means that employee data from the SAP
       R/3 HR component is transferred to SAP CRM using ALE. The
       availability information is transferred either to the WFM Core, or
       to the external scheduling engine.
You can not use resource planning tool without WFM Core, which is the scheduling engine for RPT
The scheduling engine can be any thing SAP's WFM core or External Sceduling engine(Non-SAP).
Let us assume that you are going with WFM Core. Again WFM core can be used in two ways.
1. If you want to use the WFM Core in an APO system, you have to set up a RFC   connection to the WFM Core
2. If you want to use the WFM Core in a SAP CRM add-on, you have to leave the relevant field empty in 'Select RFC Connection'. (This Customizing setting i have already mentioned in my last posting)
Once you have decided whether you want to use WFM core either with APO system or as a CRM add-on then you need to decide on R/3 HR Integration.
1. Without SAP R/3 HR Integration
If you do not use HR integration, use the 'CRM_LRP_FILL_RES' report to
transfer the service employees, which are stored in the system in the
role 'Employee', from SAP CRM to the WFM Core.
2. With SAP R/3 HR Integration
If you do use HR integration, employee data and availability information
is transferred from the HR system to the WFM Core using the 'RPTWFMIF'
report.
So finally after setting up all these things related WFM core you can run your resource planning tool. There is no RPT without WFM core.
Before doing all these you ned to install Software component 'WFMCORE' with version 2.0 which comes along with CRM installation DVD.
Still if you have any doubt please reply to this post.
Please reward points if it helps.

PROBLEM OF MULTI-THREAD?????

Hi I'm writing a program like Multi-tap (the text entry before T9 introduced) on mobilephone.
I'm having problem with some of the KEYs. They do not work properly.
As indicated in the code
HERE HERE [3] suppose to function as space button....However whenever the key is pressed before the 'time out' (I use sceduler to implement the time out) it will print half of the previous character instead of space. this key is not related to the scheduler. so i suspect it is something related to multi-thread programming.
HERE HERE [1] function as the caps lock. it can even show the indicator properly.... so i need to settle this b4 i continue.
HEREHERE [2] function as clear button. it doest work too
Someone please help me....

Hi I'm writing a program like Multi-tap (the text entry before T9 introduced) on mobilephone.
I'm having problem with some of the KEYs. They do not work properly.
As indicated in the code
HERE HERE [3] suppose to function as space button....However whenever the key is pressed before the 'time out' (I use sceduler to implement the time out) it will print half of the previous character instead of space. this key is not related to the scheduler. so i suspect it is something related to multi-thread programming.
HERE HERE [1] function as the caps lock. it can even show the indicator properly.... so i need to settle this b4 i continue.
HEREHERE [2] function as clear button. it doest work too
Someone please help me....

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}
