Shutdown and Archiving of complete SAP system (GDPdU)

Hi all,
I am interested in possibilities to archive a complete SAP-system after it has been shut down. Archiving might be necessary due to certain legal requirements, e.g. the GDPdU in Germany. Which other requirements do you know, which ways of archiving do you prefer?
Thanks for your comments and advise,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I am currently involved in a project where we are archiving data off of multiple retiring systems. We are archiving our legally required data in the form of printlists since printlist are self-contained, unlike archiving objects. For US data, we are also archiving DART extracts as needed. The printlists and DART extracts will be viewable long term in a single remaining SAP environment (we are shutting down many environments and setting up one for archive access). The archive link information is being migrated from the retiring instances to the single remaining instance so that the data can be accessed from there.

Volume reporting, categorising and archiving of completed email items

Hi gurus
Ssome times we get email to the generic complaints email inbox . can incoming emails be able to be captured in a CRM team inbox, which allows volume reporting, categorising and archiving of completed email items???is it SAP standard functionality or it needs an enhancement .
Thanks
Raj

Ok, so I have done some additional reading and I've found out that Livecycle forms can be submitted via reader without reader extensions so long as the submit is via HTTP Post or as XML data only.
This effectively means you can collect the data from the submitted forms for processing, but you can not re-render the form from the form template and the XML without the presumably expensive server component, Reader Extensions, which for all I know, requires other components to run.
This all seems awfully expensive for a solution to host a dozen or so forms and archive the submissions in one place where they can be re-opened and added to.
I don't undestand why it's so prohibitively expensive to submit dynamic PDF forms as PDF vs submitting static PDF forms as PDF, which can be done with Acrobat Pro all by itself at ~$500.

Problem with Send and Receive Emal In SAP System

Hi gurus!
I have a following quote:
Dear !
I have a problem with send and receive email in SAP system following :
I want to test send and receive email in local network at my company. I
had two server
Server 1 : I setup Exchange Mail Server 2007 with domain controller is
fes.com
Server 2 : I setup SAP ERP ECC 6.0
On Server 1 : I created 2 account ( u1Afes.com and u2Afes.com ) and then I tested send and receive email between u1 and u2 in local network through Microsoft Outlook 2007 -> OK
and then
On Server 2: I had configured send and receive email on SAP system
through tcode SBWP, SCOT and SOST as Note 455140 - "Configuration of
e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP"
for example :
I logged in SAP system with user Basis01 (with email u1Afes.com ) -> then,using tcode SBWP -> new message -> send to u2Afes.com with Internet Mail type and then status message with green light -> sending ok
and then I have used Microsoft Outlook 2007, I logged with account u2 ->check email -> Ok. I saw message which send from u1
Finally, My problem is how can receive mail in SAP system without using Microsoft Outlook
For example:
Login system SAP with Basis01 account (with u1Afes.com ) -> tcode SBWP ->New Message -> send to u2Afes.com
and then
Login system SAP with Basis02 account (with u2Afes.com ) -> tcode ??? ->
To receive email from Basis01 (with u1Afes.com )
Please help me now
Thanks
I replace "@" with "A" because of banning email of this forum.
This quote is about sending email in local network. And we can't receive any email from the outside email address. Addition if I wanna send email to internal email in Internet (we've just tried with email address in local network) What should I config in SAP and Exchange ?
By the way, Is SAP Server IP added to Relay Agent for sending or receiving mail ?

Hi,
This problem is a classic problem of mail routing via Exchange. Exchange like most mail servers use the domain part of the email address as a means to route mails. So I will make an assumption that your main company mail addrss is "User @ fes.com".
So when you send a mail to the "User @ fes.com mail" address the mail is delivered to your Outlook mail address as this is the default route for company.
(Q) So how do you get your Exchange server to relay the mail into the sending SAP system?
(A) The easiest way would be to setup and unique mail domain for your SAP system. I always recommend "user @ client.sid.company.com" which in your case would be "u1 @ 100.PRD.fes.com". You can then instruct Exchange to send any emails addressed to 100.PRD.fes.com domain to your SAP system. Also using this format of address you can configure multiple mail connections into multiple SAP systems.
(A) Another answer would be to enter the "Full" email address (LOcal and Domain part of address) into the routing rule for Exchange e.g. "U1 @ fes.com" so that all emails addressed to this user will be delivered into SAP. However this method requires a lot of Admin as you will have to update Exchange with ALL email address that need to receive emails. Also if your corporate mail address is "U1 @ fes.com" then all mails will be forwarded to SAP.
I would definitely NOT recommend this method but the decision is up to you.
P.S. The IP address of the SAP system is entered into the mail header of the email. This is standard practice in SMTP relay. You can suppress this header in Exchange
Hope this helps

Centralised EHS system and users and organisations in multiple SAP systems

Wanted to have your experience/ advice or experience in setting up a centralised EHS system talking to multiple SAP systems and other ERP systems
If the client have sister companies and locations in multiple SAP systems , can we go for a centralised EHS system talking to multiple SAP systems
Is there a concept of application ID in EHS system : If so how EHS system can identify the < to EHS system records to tag the system > , <EHS system Records bound to have different configs for each ERP systems> and < from EHS system records to multiple SAP systems >
Can you list client experiences or roadblocks for this type of design

Hello
the answer to your question is: may be you can use a central EHS system. The reason is: EHS is correlated with MM. A SAP system in which EHS is used without MM makes "not realy" sense. So it is a matter of definition "what is a central EHS system".
EHS it selfs uses SAP standard techniques. That is "ALE" distribution to other SAP systems. The distribution of EHS data top NON SAP systems is possible to via XI (which is the common solution). If you use as the scenario SAP to SAP you must make your that standard EHS customizing is the same on both sides.
Furthermore SAP EHS is a "great" module with several submodules. So regarding each of the potential scenerios you need to check the necessary prerequisites. It ois very common to have EHS PS, DG, HSM in one system and to distribute data via ALE to a different system so that the EHS data can be used "decentral" in the several SAP logistic processes.
In most cases you need to distribute per ALE at least DG master and hazardous substance master.
As a starting point take a look here: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
BASIC Data and Tools => Tools => Distribution of specifications, phrases and reports per ALE.
Hope this helps.

How to check Server Shutdown and Startup History in SAP

Hi guru's . One of the background job failed on saturday. And i want check the duration and the history when the server shutdown and startup. I can check the server startup time at ST02 t-code. But i want to check the entire history of server shut down. Please guide me through. Thanks.

Dear Ram,
You can see the System logs in SM21 . Background job failure can be viewed in SM37 .
As said before go through \usr\sap\TST\DVEBMGS00\work directory and see the logs. Files like dev_disp , dev_ms ,dev_rfc.trc ,stderr1,stderr2,stderr3,stderr4 will have the log information . These files will have the information after the last system start .
Anyway if want to see the old logs before server shutdown , see the old logs in old files like dev_disp.old,dev_ms.old .

Best option for hosting forms online and archiving the completed forms?

Forgive the length of this post, but I feel it necessary to give a little background information into our problem.
We were looking for a simple solution to a seemingly simple problem: Host ~15 safety forms online for field technicians (electricians) to fill out via their netbooks and submit to some sort of repository for archiving with the ability for the technicians to reopen the forms and make additions over the course of the job / week as well as firing an email off to our H&S rep per form submitted.
Acrobat + Remote Desktop Services (SBS 2011 network) + Reader seemed like a good solution and does work, but it's somewhat cumbersome for the less computer literate techs and proving to be more time in support then we are potentially saving going with paperless forms. This is the system we have in place now.
We initially purchased Acrobat Standard and subsequently upgraded to Professional when we found some limitations we weren't expecting in Acrobat Standard. An Adobe Sales rep also suggested that we check out Livecycle Designer 9, which was included with Acrobat Pro which included even more nice stuff. I started re-authoring the forms in LCD9.
The issue now is that I have Dynamic XML forms with flowed content that cannot be submitted by Reader to sharepoint. Why? You can't reader extend livecycle forms with acrobat, which it is bundled with.....
Why exactly adobe has two different and somewhat incompatible forms authoring tools bundled in the same product is beyond me, especially when one of them requires what I would imagine is an expensive server product to enable it's full use?
So it seems I have a choice between having my employer purchase Reader Extensions ES2 to maintain the nice form design with flowed content, purchasing 12 copies of acrobat to put on the netbooks when Reader SHOULD be all that we need or converting all the dynamic XML forms authored in LCD9 into static AcroForms so they can be reader extended and deployed to sharepoint.
We envision our technicians browsing to and logging in to our hosted sharepoint server, selecting the appropriate form template from a drop down list in a doc library or list, which opens the form for completion in the browser and on submit posts the form to a list on sharepoint for completed forms, preferably with some key fields mapped to custom columns in said list AND with the ability for the submitting technician to re-open the submitted form from sharepoint and make additions as the week / job progresses.
What would be the best option given our current situation and needs? With all due respect, I am looking for suggestions from technically oriented or experienced persons, not sales reps that don't fully know the product.

Ok, so I have done some additional reading and I've found out that Livecycle forms can be submitted via reader without reader extensions so long as the submit is via HTTP Post or as XML data only.
This effectively means you can collect the data from the submitted forms for processing, but you can not re-render the form from the form template and the XML without the presumably expensive server component, Reader Extensions, which for all I know, requires other components to run.
This all seems awfully expensive for a solution to host a dozen or so forms and archive the submissions in one place where they can be re-opened and added to.

How to transport the CO and DATA file to SAP system

Hello Experts ,
I want to know the procedure to import a transport request into an isolated SAP system ( which is not in the transport route ) using the CO and DATA files .
I know that user should have adminstrator role to do this but i dont know how to do this .
Regards
Vivek

Simply copy the source cofile and datafile from the source system to the target system and then import.
Data file is located at /usr/sap/trans/<sid>/data with format R<transport_number>.<sid> and cofile is located at /usr/sap/trans/<sid>/cofile with format K<transport_number>.<sid>
Copy them to the same location on the target system and then go to STMS -> Extras -> Add -> insert the name of the transport in format <sid>K<transport_number>, this will add the transport to the import queue then just simply import the transport.

Track of Addition , Updation and Deletion data in SAP system

Hi,
I am working on extracting data from SAP using 3rd party language into DB, now scenario is as follow everytime i do extraction i have to pull all data again and again which is time consuming now what i am thing of getting only updated data or new , delated data into my DB, say for example
1 . I have created vendor or updated vendor info does SAP keep the information of this record that this record has been added or updated if yes the which table does i will get the info.?
2. if i delete some info. of vendor does SAP store this info. that this vendor is deleted subsequently i will updata my data into my DB.
if i get this info. i can extract only extra data added or modified data into my DB
any help / suggestion will be appriciated.
Thanks,
John.

Most of the transactional data and almost all the master data are tracked for changes in SAP. So instead of asking such a generic question, maybe if you please let us know exactly which objects that you are extracting, then we can verify this. As pointed out earlier, There are function modules, tables and programs that track changes or reads them for you.
Apart from these, config table changes are also tracked using table logging.
Rob, just a small correction, if I may do so. For vendors the field is LFA1-LOEVM not KNA1-LOEVM which is for customers. But Rob is correct in saying that there are certain master data objects that are not physically deleted but are only marked for deletion and a subsequent archiving will delete them permenantly.
To make it short, yes SAP does keep track of changes for many critical objects. If it is missing on some, which are of interest to you, there are ways. Please let the forum know which data you are interested in downloading.

How to monitor and tune DB2 based SAP system?

For Oracle performance, we have following ways to
Monitor : st02, st03n, st06, st05
tune: update analyzer, update statistics, buffer read-only tables, add buffer size
For DB2, do we use the same method OR there are some more methods?
Thanks a lot!

As user db2<sid>, connect to the database
db2 connect to <sid>
Enable auto runstats
db2 update db cfg for <sid> using AUTO_RUNSTATS on AUTO_STMT_STATS on immediate
db2 commit
db2 connect reset
This should enable auto runstats for your db. For auto-reorgs (non-production only), you may do so through the dbacockpit.

Intigrating SAP and Non-SAP system for recruitment process

Hi All,
Our Client has a requirement which is related to Recruitment.The requirement is that the employee resumes ,photos and credentils are stored in legacy system.The shortlisted resumes sud be transferred into SAP and the hiring process sud be done in SAP.After the hiring process , the status of the applicants sud be triggered in the legacy system and not in the SAP system.
Is there any Standard BAPI's for this requirement. Any Workflow is involved in this requirement.
As a HR Abaper i need to give the complete technical details for this requirement. Pls advice me on this .This is very urjent.
Points will be awarded.
Many Thanks,
Chakradhar Maddina

what is this 3rd party application?
if anyways they are using SAP for masterdata, why dont they use the same for applicant data?
ok for whatever the reason they have decided that..only way looks like is to do it manually,
create a bdc/lsmw for the hiring process and let them use it regularly for hiring all the selected applicants in a single go.
as for updating their system with the updated status, again i think they should do it manually.or maybe if their legacy system allows mass data update/chages.
becoz you do the creation of BDC/LSMW only once not everytime you want to hire.. i think its an easir process. also wait for other experts to give their feed back you may get some valuable info.
hope it helps

SAP systems and Daylight savings for 2007

Hi,
We are discussing about the Daylight Saving time changes in USA for 2007 and its effect on SAP Systems.
<i>"Beginning in 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November."</i>
Wondering, if we need to change any variable settings to take into effect? If so, could anyone give details on it.
Wondering if SAP systems time is getting sync with Database servers or O/S ?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
The beginning of daylight saving time is normally not a problem as the time will jump from 2:00 to 3:00, so seen from SAP that no problem. You will only have a 1 hour hole, as the system had nothing to do for one hour.
So there are no settings or so to maintain or change. Just let SAP system run...
But it is different when switching back to "normal" time, as there you will have the so called double hour, and even as SAP is working on a solution to this, it is still recommended to shut down the SAP system for this period.
(searching for the term "daylight saving time" in OSS should give you some notes explaining how SAP is handling it)
As i know SAP system is taking the time from OS, but you can se what time the SAP system has, by in the GUI menu to select the "system" => "Status"...
(In the Popup you can se it in upper right corner)

Rolf

2 Different SAP systems one with only WM and other no WM system

Hi All,
We are having trouble to implement 2 different SAP systems. In one SAP system only MM & IM will be there. The other SAP system only WM system will be there.
In the SAP system with only MM / IM system all the materials will be valuated where as the SAP system with only WM system, there won't be any valuations. It just serves as a 3PL warehouse for the first SAP system which has only IM environment. Both are acting as a different companies.
We planned to interface all the PO, Inbound Deliveries and also the Sales order and deliveries to WM SAP system and develop a custom program to do PGR / PGI in WM system and then transmit the PGR / PGI details to the SAP system (which has only MM / IM environment). The WM system also uses the RF guns. But not so sure whether this can help.
Can you please help me how to configure the WM system. I will be very grateful for your help.

Vansh

Send IDOC from SAP system to IX but can't see any message in SXI_MONITOR

Hi all,
I have built up an XI system and configured an IDOC to IDOC scenario between two SAP Systems. After completed all configuration necessary:
1. Configuration on Source Side (SAP System that send IDOC) and on Target Side (SAP System that receive IDOC) is OK.
2. SLD is OK: Technical System and Business System are correct for these two SAP System.
3. Integration Repository: all designed Object is OK.
4. Integration Directory: all configuration is OK. "Test Configuration" Function is OK.
5. Runtime WorkBench: is OK. "Test Message" Function of "Integration Server" is OK.
In general, it is all OK.
But when i send an IDOC from SAP System Sour Side (Outbound IDOC from Source Side is OK), on the XI server i can't see any message in Tcode SXI_MONITOR. In this case, my XI server didn't receive any IDOC Message from this Source Side, and so that my XI server can't process and exchange any IDOC sent from Source Side.
Anyone can please help me to explain this problem: why my XI server can't receive any IDOC message from SAP System Source Side when all configuration is OK? Do anyone see the same case as this case?
Thanks a lot for all in advance,
Best regards,
Vinh vo

Diff. between content server and archive server(SARA on content server)

I am very interested about difference between content server and archive server. Is there content server supplied by SAP and archive server by third party producers or something else?
If so dditionally what needs to be done to archive data (via Sara) on content server. I did it on sap R/3 4.0 on an archive server. Is it huge difference to do it on 4.7x2 on content server?

Hey,
The content server is used to save documents,
and SARA (and other third party producers) are used to archive old data.
For example:
You should use Content server - When you need to save un-structured data about worker (e.g: pictures, documents and etc) .
You should use SARA (and other third parties) - When you need to move to archive old
worker which have left your organization before 5 or more years (there for they are not relevant for you)
Here is some more information about Content server
from help.sap.com:
"Therefore, besides the SAP database, an external content server is always available in every SAP system installation. In this way, the necessary technical infrastructure is provided for all document-centric applications and business scenarios that do not require a long-term archiving solution"
Here is some more information about SARA and archiving
from help.sap.com:
"Data Archiving removes from the database application data from closed business transactions that are no longer relevant for the operational business. The archived data is stored in archive files that can be accessed by the system in read-only mode."
