Simultanious initialization for S&D and MM mdules please advise

Dear All,
Can we do the initialization for S&D and MM mdules simultaniously as there is time constraint for the down time from the business.
Please advise. its urgent.
Points will be awareded.
Regards
Nisarg.

Hi,
You can do it simultaneously.
Things you need to consider while doing this (Init).
You will need to fill the set up tables in 'no postings period'. In other words when no trasnactions are posted for that area in R/3 otherwise those records will not come to BW. Discuss this with end user and decide. Weekends are a general choice for this activity.
You can run them after business hours so that there wont be any transactions, or in the night times or you can do it on week ends so that there is no need to take down time.
Fill the setup tables with already closed values and then fill up again with open values.This will reduce the down time.
Initialize  closed periods first in which users wont enter data ( for example in 2007 or 2006), this initializations can be done while users are working. Then the initialize last period at night/weekends.holidays etc.
If you know documents that are in closed periods, and you are sure that these documents can no longer be changed, you can only fill the SetUp tables for these documents or only for these periods, by continuing to post in open periods. You then initialize only for these intervals, delete the setup table, and only then do you fill the setup table with the rest of the documents  this procedure can drastically reduce the downtimes of your system.
However, there is a risk that user exits (and in LIS, formulas and conditions) can be used to retrieve documents that are in periods that are already "closed periods".
One more thing what you need to bear in mind is, to check if there are any Scheduled jobs which are updating the transaction tables, which would definitely cause Data Reconciliation Issues.

  • When I try installing Firefox 6.0 from the binary file, a box with "Run As" in the type field appears, which asks me for user name and password. Please advise about the course of action that I should take.

    Trying to run it as the current user, or as one from a different account(administrator in this case) also doesn't work.

    I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
    to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
    I dont know why.

    Hi,
    I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
    invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
    it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
    it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
    provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
    it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
    over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
    the result of my service.
    If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
    refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
    In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
    the server log trace from weblogic.
    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    yours sincerly
    jackfromsurrey

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work

  • I was able to print my month view from ical, but no longer is "month" an option. I can only see list and day. Please advise!

    Just curious...about two weeks ago I was able to print my ical calendar in month view. For some reason, "month view" is no longer an option in print mode. The only two options I have are day or list. Not sure how to print in month view now or retreive that back. Please advise : )

    Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
    Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

  • I had a brand new Mac book pro one month old and the hard drive died. Right before it died I was down loading pictures off a memory card and now they aren't on my memory card! They are wedding pictures I took for a friend and irreplaceable! Please help!!

    I had a one month old Mac book pro and the hard drive fried! I was down loading a friends wedding pictures when it stopped working and started heating up. I plugged it in and turned it off as it was making a clicking noise. When I turned it back on the was a grey box with a question mark and nothing else. When I took my memory card out the pictures were gone. I took it back to best buy where I bought it and they said it was dead, needed a new hard drive and all my info is lost! Is there any way to get back those irreplaceable wedding pictures?

    There are some data recovery programs (software). I would look into that for the images on the card. When files are deleted, the files are still there, just the headers are removed. That being said, a format of the card or new files written to the card can overwrite deleted files.
    The physical hard drive could be thousands of dollars to forensically save, with no guarantee.

  • Creative in the dock over driver issues for older cards and upsetting consumers please read!

    To Who this may concern at TOP LEVEL AT Creative's Board It's come to my attention to a very serious issue From Creative,and the story starts from here.
    I have just required the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card so looking to install the latest drivers from CREATIVE'S UK WEBSITE. So I look into the date which is 9/4/200 on Creative's website. However I did abit more investigating into the issues from other consumer's from passed half soaked drivers that Creative are supposed to put right with their half asleep development team(what a joke!!).
    AS I did more research? on this issue on the forums and hardware websites, it came across to my attention on a Brazilian I. T. Expert called Daniel Kawakami (surprisesurprise and I don't suppose Creative know anything about him other than trying to kick him the balls for his work to help others with their sound cards very good PR work Creative well done!!!!).So armed with all this information and believe me I have gone into alot of reading in the forums about the issues,and yes Creative Board Of Directors you are entitled to your Copy Rights,for now !!!
    So I find out more about this super hero Daniel Kawakami? to Creative's miss givings to put right the Drivers for Consumers let down by Creative, I came across one of the driver updates for the Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card done by Daniel Kawakami, and Bingo most consumer's now have a working drivers by him.
    So for all the hard work and precious time this Daniel Kawakami has done for Creative Consumers(including me) YOU SELFISH CREATIVE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S go and kick him the face, so I will say this to you what about his rights as a creative product consumer? ,his driver copy rights and on top that his right to put things right that your team cannot put right in the first place. This is the EXACT PEOPLE WE NEED IN THIS HIGHLY COMPLICATED IT INDUSTRY, so what do you do you try and do, you bin him.
    So Creative I am going to ask some questions and I EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER THEM with me as a CONSUMER OF YOUR PRODUCTS(customer is King not you!!)
    1. The drivers you realised on the 9th April 200 are working drivers for the Audigy 2 zs for windows 7 ultimate.
    2. So how can you convince me that they are working?
    3. At the moment I can only trust Daniel Kawakami's? working drivers, since he has had over whelming praise for his work.What makes me think I can trust you with your drivers.
    4. Your Drivers came out on the 9/4/200, Daniel Kawakami's Drivers came out on 9/4/200 its too close a call,since your development Team are too lazy to put things right, how can you convince me that you did not copy his Drivers into your download Driver website(I would not be surprised if you did, as it would certainly be a cost cutting exercise ,and taking away his copy rights for all the work he has done for nothing!!!)
    5. Are you going to treat customer and consumers better service and support? in the Future,and that includes me,and 3rd party developers like Daniel Kawakami .
    The concussion to all of this, there are lessons to be learned by you Creative for your mis givings and the treatment of customers passed and present and especially the appalling treatment of Daniel Kawakami ,this guy deserves far better for his talent. I Have one message for the President Of Creative ,don't you EVER think you can scare me as a customer and also as Registered? disabled deaf person ,and for that reason I have far more powers you will ever have. For what I have read I am so angry and dismayed when someone like Daniel Kawakami is only trying help others ,but to be treated in this way.
    It is only right for me to post this ,because You Creative have hurt? alot people and that includes me. I look forward to the comments and p.m.(if I get any) And Daniel Kawakami? I hope you do read this and all the best for the future ,keep doing what you do ,and once again Creative you should be holding your heads in Shame.
    Regards Jonoace U.k.

    !!! Creative jamais vai responder.
    At seria justo se Creative viesse a publico falar de sua incapacidade e que at onde as placas Audigy funcionariam em Vista e ?7.
    Mas por?incompet?ncia, pois nem suas novas placas funcionam direito, se era para vender est? mal.
    Problemas de memoria superior a 4 gb e tantos outros que Creative no tem respostas;
    Drivers de Daniel e Pax so alternativas, mas que tambm tem muitas limitaes.
    Sinceramente acho que esta na hora de Creative vir a publico fazer um relato srio, e descrever claramente as limitaes de sua placas colocando um ponto final emexpectativas frustraes eeng dos.
    Chega a ser vergonhoso que placas onboard como realtek funcionem melhor que placas Creative;
    Realmente, antes era um sonho e orgulho possuir um produto CREATIVE, tornou-se um pesadelo e uma vergonha.
    Mas enfim o que fazer, apenas esperar um momento de honestidade por parte de Creative.
    Flavio Kern - Audigy 2 ZS
    Creative will never respond. So it would be fair if Creative would publish his inability to speak and that even where the plates Audigy would work in Vista and 7. But by incompetence, since neither her new adapter works right, if it was to sell is poorly. Problems of memory above 4 gb, and so many others that Creative does not have answers; Daniel and Pax Drivers are alternati'ves, but which also has many limitations. I honestly think this time Creative come publico do a serious story, and describe clearly the limitations of your cards by putting an end-point on expectations, frustrations and forgeries. It is shameful that onboard realtek cards like that boards Creative work better; Actually, before it was a dream and pride have a CREATIVE product, became a nightmare and a shame. But anyway what to do, just wait a moment of honesty from Creative.

  • Good all round Laser printer, for Photo's and general use please?

    Hi there,
    i'm in the market for a new printer. I need a Laser printer which uses PCL for general work tasks, and for outside of work, something that can produce quality photo prints.
    Any suggestions?

    The laser technology is such that it does not produce photo quality prints.
    Laser printers are producing the illusion of color by using only Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
    If you want photos and not just "pictures" you need to look at ink jet or dye-sub printers.

    Well. You say you want to insert a node as a child of another node, and it needs to be inserted before a certain other child node.
    There's an insertBefore() method in the Node interface. Use that.
    And if you thought that was a challenging issue then you might as well give up writing DOM code right now.

  • I open up yahoo and my messenger (no the full version) the one you can use in your mail. Now that I have opened I can't close it even though I hit sign out again and again. Please advise.

    I am new to using a mac I have an older version. But I have used firefox on my pc before. I downloaded it and went to open messenger. Not the full downloaded messenger but the one you can access when in your mail on yahoo. It opened fine but now it won't close, even though I hit sign out again and again. I have tried force quite, uninstalling and reinstalling and still every time I sign into yahoo on firefox there is my messenger list open. For privacy issues I really need to be able to open and close it.

  • Opera 12.16 (64)/Win7 Pro (64): I have installed Flash 14x SEVEN TIMES. SETTE. SEPT TIMES. (7  7  7  7  7  7). It is in the Plugins list and ENABLED. Please advise.

    Opera 12.16 (build 1860)
    Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
    SEVEN times ADOBE has asked me to install the latest version of Flash Player.
    SEVEN times I have installed the latest version of Flash Player.
    SEVEN times I have checked to see if it in the Plugins list and enabled.
    SEVEN times it is in the Plugin list and ENABLED.
    ALL SEVEN of them.
    Being clever, I disabled all but one of them.
    It still doesn't f***** work.
    It still f***** asks me to install the f***** program.
    Basic question:
    Does this lauded, insistent, invasive (and apparently at the moment, USELESS) Adobe product WORK with Opera?
    NOTE:
    1. All extensions/plugins disabled/turned off: apparently the existence of a YouTube Downloader interferes with Adobe downloads. As does AdBlock, Ghostery, Facebook Redirect, Sociopath, TinEye, TS Video Player, and three of four other things.
    PS: Even though I tell it I "DO NOT" want to install Google Chrome, why does it install Google Chrome (first time).
          Even though I told "DO NOT" install Google Chrome, why does it look for it and decide it's already installed (second time).
          But as a time-waster it's nice.
          I got to uninstall Google Chrome twice.

    Why are you editing my "question?"
    Is it because I said Flash for Opera seemed to patently USELESS (seeing as I've installed it SEVEN times and it still doesn't work)?
    Adobe, thank you for the free stuff, but it would be nice if it worked and didn't need updates every thirty minutes.

  • IPhoto '11 very slow and unresponsive - unusable, please advise!

    I am having some problems with iPhoto '11. When I try to scroll through the image thumbnails, it often stops with a spinning beachball then I have to wait 10-20 seconds for it to catch up.
    Also when I hit space to bring up the full image from a thumbnail, it appears then I get a spinning beachball and have to wait 20-30 seconds, after which the multi-image-scroller at the bottom appears and everything is responsive again.
    When I look in Activity Monitor I can see that iPhoto is maxing out the CPUs (one of them at a time, it seems).
    Together these two issues mean that it is unusable.
    As to the possible cause, I have two theories
    1) It could be a recent iPhoto 11 update I installed
    2) It could be because I recently imported a large number of photos (an extra 50Gb) which may have taken my iPhoto Library above some maximum threshold. (Does anyone know if there is a recommended maximum size?).
    My iPhoto Library contains 80,000 photos (some of which are actually videos) and takes up about 300Gb. It is located on my external 750Gb Iomega drive, connected via USB (I don't have room on the hard drive for the library). I did not experience these issues a few days ago, and I had about 250Gb library/72,000 photos then.
    Having read the forums it seems that I may need to do one of the following
    - Split the library into smaller libraries (which would be a pain, but might allow me to be productive again)
    - Figure out a way to get the library on a faster drive... perhaps upgrading my internal drive to a larger one or SSD and put it on there
    - Wait for Apple to improve performance of iPhoto
    - Revert back to iPhoto '09
    - Find an alternative product that can manage large libraries better... Is Aperture any good? Are there other good products?
    - Some other solution I don't know about.
    Since there are many possible ways forward I would appreciate some advice, anything you think would help, as well as any suggestions and/or officially supported methods.
    Thanks in advance
    Alex Bowyer

    Thank you for your reply.
    I tried deleting the cache files and it made no difference.
    I'd already waited for the new Faces to be scanned.
    However, I found your response in another thread suggesting rebuilding using iPhoto Library Manager to create a new library.
    I did this, and it took over 48 hours to complete but it did the job nicely. It ported everything across - images, keywords, albums, even faces. It also found 13Gb of duplicate photos I didn't know about!
    The only thing I had to do was recreate my smart albums.
    But now my new iPhoto Library runs smoothly and I can work again! Awesome!
    Thanks.

  • N80 backlight and new firmware - please advise

    Hi,
    I just got an N80 and I'm really happy with it except for the backlight which seems to come on randomly. I put this down to the light sensor and tried adjusting to maximum as suggested by Nokia FAQ, but that didn't help and I assumed it was normal behaviour.
    I took the N80 to a Nokia service centre to upgrade the firmware and they said the backlight should always come on when the slider is opened and when any key is pressed, regardless of the light sensor settings. Can anyone pleese confirm this as mine doesn't do that.
    Also, they didn't upgrade my firmware bcos the product code was vodafone and although the phone is genuinely sim-unlocked from Nokia, they can only upgrade with the Vodafone firmware otherwise the upgrade would invalidate my warranty. I don't understand why that should be the case if the phone is not sim-locked. How long before the vodafone firmware will be released?
    Thanks.

    there is nothing stopping you getting the phone updated under warranty. As long as the phone is within its warranty period, a Nokia Engineer will be able to update it for you.
    However, this will only be done under warranty if there is a problem with your phone.
    If you would just like to get it updated just for the sake of having the latest firmware, then the Engineers may charge you for this.
    By getting your phone updated you will get the latest firmware available for Vodafone in your country.
