Solman features for a small landscape

Hi All,
We have a standard 3 system landscape with 3 systems(D,Q and P).
We also have a solution manager in our landscape.
I'm eager to know the features of the solution manager that can be exploited for such a small landscape.
regards,
Prasanna

Hello Prassana,
We can start with first configuring CCMS and EWA.
Please implement/apply latest ST-PI and ST-API patches in your Dev system.
after applying the patches please execute RTCCTOOL program in Se38 t code.
This program helps in service preperation so that data from your satellite system(Dev) can be sent to
solution manager system.
once you are done with that we can configure Dev system in solution manager system and activate SDCCN.
SDCCN will help in collecting data from dev to Solman.
Regards,
Amber S

Risks when maintain only one SolMan system for DEV, QAS and PRD systems

What are the risks involved when maintaining only one solution manager system for entire client landscape(Small size).
Or No risks are involved?
Or Is this the SAP rrecommended approach for small size landscapes?
One SolMan system -> DEV and QAS and another SolMan system -> PRD.

Anand: Risks Involved depends on what all aspects\Scenarios the Solution Manager System is used for. It Could be used for the following purposes
1) Service Desk
2) Solution Monitoring
3) System Monitoring
4) Change Management
How do you propose to use the Solman system ?

Anand: This is the most idealistic and SAP recommended way of using Solman....it always better to have it this way no matter in how many scenarios you intend to use Solman for....

Advice on moving from workgroup to domain for very small network

Hello all,
I work for a small company and inherited the part time IT/Operations position and I want to understand the impact of changing from workgroup to domain. I understand the process and I have set up small test domains before but I want to be certain I
understand this so I figured I better ask the pros.
The setup:
1 Desktop class system, recent i5 quad, 16GB RAM, 1TB HD with Server 2008 R2. Current roles are File Sharing and WSUS.
3 Desktops running Win 7 Home
1 Desktop with win 7 Pro
1 Laptop with Vista Home
1 Laptop with Win 7
1 Laptop with Win 8 Pro
I have configured all devices to uses the WSUS for updates as they wanted these managed and this seems to be the easiest way.
Right now all users have an account on the server that is used to map to their shares. I know that the home versions cannot join to a domain and with this small of a network I don't want to join any device to a domain as we have only one server and
it would not be reasonable to add more servers.
The thing is they want to setup local sharing of calendars and contacts, etc. I have 2010 exchange server and it is required to be on a domain.
The Questions:
Can the domain still "act" as a workgroup and users still connect to the shares and exchange without being joined to the domain? What is the impact on performance for this server? Will the home version users still be able to connect to
the shares (I assume yes) and to the exchange through outlook? Is there a better way to achieve the workgroup features of exchange without using exchange and not subscribing to Office 365? We do not have an internet domain name for this business.
Does this matter for setting up a domain?
Anything you can think of that I should consider please feel free.
Thank you all for your advice.

Hi Paul,
You are very welcome, I am very glad that my suggestions helped.
For your first question, in a domain, the Domain Controller clearly has much more tasks to perform than a work group server, while it also has more management options for an administrator to better control his/her client machines.
In addition, domain acts as a central management solution will reduce the work of the administrator. For an example, under workgroup mode, if we have multiple servers which have shared resources, we need to create the same user
accounts on each of them, while in a domain, we only need to create accounts once on the DC, then all the accounts can be recognized across the whole domain, no matter how many servers and client machines are within it.
For the second question, yes, single lable domain name is not recommended, but it is allowed. Single lable domains are supported in
Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Exchange 2010, while single label DNS name resolution is also possible.
However, there are other Microsoft and third-party products which don’t support
single lable domains. My suggestion is don’t use it while it will cause you trouble.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
132 - iPad 2
264 - new iPad
At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.
Good luck.

Dedicated SolMan required for ...?

Hi,
i have a question which i was not able to answer by reading guides or searching in the sdn, so maybe there is not such a question in this forum already or i am blind.
My question is:
As it is finally possible to use a SolMan for totally different landscaped or customers, are there limitations in the kind, that there has to be a dedicated SolMan for new releases? I heard that if you have a Portal at version 7.0, you have to have a dedicated SolMan, instead of a shared one, otherwise SAP will not maintain any support for the Portal landscape.
Is that only a rumor, or is it true? I was not able to validate this information.
thanks in advance for any information

Hello,
No you do not need to dedicate a Solution Manager system to the Portal. We have customers with their portal managed along with other solutions, and they have had no need to dedicate a Solutiion Manager server to the Portal.
The whole point of having a Solution Manager system is to manage the customer's system landscape.
Of course depending on how large the the landscape is, you may need to distribute the load over clustered Solution Manager systems, or size to a larger server. The answer really depends upon your available resources. The Portal is just a managed system. Now if you are runnign service desk, this can place a load on the solution manager system, so if it is not sized large enough, you may elect to dedicate a service to run Support Desk.
But the requirement would only be a requirement if your current server(s) are not sized properly.
I hope this answers your question.

Using SolMAn / ChaRm for upgrade to ECC6

Good Day;
We are planning on using SolMan / ChaRm for our upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6 and I am wondering if it would be possible to do the following
Upgrade a development system to ECC6.
Define 2 virtual ECC6 Systems, 1 for the QA system and 1 for the production system
Create a project that contains all the business processes and has the above landscape assigned. This project does not have ChaRM active.
Create a maintenance cycle with the above landscape attached and ChaRM active.
As we upgrade the real QA and production systems to ECC6, we want to u201Cflip outu201D the virtual systems for the u201Crealu201D ECC6 systems.
Does anyone have any input in this type of plan?
Regards
Don

My top ten requested features for Flash Catalyst Next

Here is my top ten list of requested features for Flash Catalyst:
10. Rearranging of pages / states in the pages / states panel (also resizing to smaller icons)
9. Menu bar option to Insert Custom / Generic Component. There isn't a way to create a custom component without first adding something to stage and then converting that.
8. Edit component on double click in layers panel
7. Replace existing artwork with library component - for example, when you create a button or text input then you should be able to use that skin in all of the text input instances rather than creating new ones every time you choose convert artwork to component
6. Artboard sized to content - no hardcoded size of the project
5. Import of Flex Components / movieclps
4. Flex Capacitor library integration / support - supports deep linking and navigation through your flash catalyst or flex project without coding - all the work is done
3. Integration and coexistence in native Flex project - no fxpl or zip - flat file structure
2. Container support - VGroup HGroup Skinnable Container - set layout property
1. Component Constraints support - top left bottom right horizontal center vertical center baseline width height 100%

Additional features:
• When opening a Illustrator file the option to choose which artboard or layers to import (rather than the whole project).
• Set a default option so that all imported text fields from Illustrator use "Fit Height". Mainly because currently it is cutting off the descent but also bc it allows you to change the text content (globalization) and have the text fit.
• Show intersection lines while dragging. At least vertical center and horizontal center... similar to Flex and Illustrator.
• Add a convert to vector when selecting images.
• In the code view the default directory "components" could be renamed to something like: design, compositions, construction, architecture, form, embodiments, chassis, constitution, frame, representation, manifestation, cast, expression, mold, etc. just not skins. design, chassis, representations, cast, expressions, compositions are my favorites. It would be nice to be able to define this folder path in preferences.
• Use the layer name to name the library components. Otherwise there is a directory with 30 assets named "graphic[n]".
• Command to clean out library of unused symbols.

What product do u recommend for creating a newsletter for a small non-profit community association?

I just signed up for this forum. I´m thinking of creating a newsletter in Swedish for a small non-profit association in Sweden. Since everyone can download Adobe reader for free I´m thinking of using Adobe for the newsletter. Is there a light version available for non-profit assocaiations?

Acrobat can't be used to create the newsletter from scratch. For that you
need to use some word processing or layout application, like Word or
InDesign. Acrobat then comes into the picture when you want to convert the
original file format to the universally-used PDF format. If your needs are
basic, you can use Acrobat Standard, which is a cheaper version (with less
features, of course) of Acrobat Pro, but is totally capable of creating PDF
files from those formats I mentioned before.

Activate Accessibility Features for all users?

Is there a way to activate Accessibility Features for all users by editing a table on the Portal side?
EP6 SP2 and NW04S.
Thanks
Jean Seguin

Hi Jean,
not that I would know of. But you can easily write a small portal component which sets the accessibility level of all users to your preferred level.
The code snippet below should give you an idea of what I mean
IUserFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IUserSearchFilter filter = userFactoy.getUserSearchFilter();
ISearchResult result = userFactory.searchUsers(filter);
while (result.hasNext()){
String userId = (String)result.next();
IUserMaint user = userFactory.getMutableUser(userId);
user.setAccessibilityLevel(IUser.SCREENREADER_ACCESSIBILITY_LEVEL);
user.commit();
Best regards,
Martin

Office Web Apps - how to disable office web apps features for one web application

ENV: Sharepoint 2010 farm with office web apps + fast search
I have the requirement for one web application to open all its documents in client applications - I can enable feature "OpenInClient". This web application uses team site template and other web application also uses team site template. ( feature
stapling ruled out) Now I can run powershell cmdlet to enable this feature on all the currently existing site collections. But the requirement is to enable this feature for all the future site collections. This web applications has 60 k site collections
and atleast more than 10 site collections get created each day and they dont like the option to run a powershell script each day to activate this solution.
Is there any other way to by default activate new site collections on this WA to open in client applications by default (can we disable this office webapps features only on one web app)?
VM

I have learnt from this forum that it is not possible to turn off Office web apps on single web application. The line of control lies at farm level and then at site collection.

Advise about setting up a permissons on Lion server for a small office.

What is the common wisdom and advise about setting up permissions optimally for a small office using OS X Lion Server as a file server? I thought I had this solved by setting the ACL permissions so that all users and appropriate groups can read and write all files on the server. This works great until a new file is created. Then it appears that the POSIX umask kicks in and takes priority over the ACL permissions. I need to allow group write permissions on all new files. My options seem to be:
Make everyone an admin - not great for obvious security reasons
Change the umask for the whole machine - also security problems, though perhaps fewer than the everyone-an-admin route above
Write a folder action applescript to add group write permission on all new files. This works fine if you have a static number of folders With new folders it has the problem: How do new folders created by non-admin users get this folder action automatically applied to them - some cronjob to hunt down the new folders; an applesscrpt folder action that adds a folder action to all new folders (sounds recursively complicated)?
Have a cron job regularly do something like `chmod -R 664` on all files. This will break during those between the cracks times between when someone creates a new file and when the cronjob runs - not ideal.
Seems like this should be easier which makes me think I'm missing something obvious.
Any help great appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Good-heart's advice is certainly your first step, but if you've already done that and still have the problem you've described, you might have the 10.7.3 ACL bug, particularly if your users and groups are in an OD or AD rather than being local accounts on the server. The problem is that ACL's for directory accounts are incorrectly ignored, resulting in POSIX permissions coming into play.
I've descibed my workaround for this here;
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18037703
I haven't yet tried the other trick I've read about, which is to ensure your Share's data directories are at least one level down on the volume - there is a post here on the Communities that mentions this;
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18028746
I seem to remember that this helped with an earlier version of AFP, if using external firewire or usb storage.
Let us know if you find a fix, it seems a number of people have problems with this.

How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

Hi sblemings,
Welcome to the community.
I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
option 1
Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
option 2
This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
option 3
This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
option 4
This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.
Dan
