Solution Manager - Import buffer and duplicate imports in maintenance cycle

Hello,
I am trying to understand how Normal and Urgent Correction work in a maintenance cycles.
I am using SOLMAN 4.0 and I would like to know how the import buffers are managed.
When I have completed a maintenance cycle and all my transport request have been imported in the production system, I want to switch the status of the maintenance cycle back to development in order to complete my previous open normal corrections. I have read in many places that if I act in this way, not only my new corrections but all the old correction will be imported in the quality and production systems because the import buffers do not get empty.
For example, If I decide to have 10 normal corrections but eventually only 9 corrections are imported in quality and production systems, when I switch back to development and I complete the 10th correction, this correction will be imported together with the other 9 corrections or this will be imported alone since the other nine correction have been imported before?
How it works?
I appreciate suggestions.
Thanks
Antonello

Hi Gert-Jan,
We do the same and we don't face this issue. There is thus a solution.
I never had this case, this might be a parameter in your QAS refresh procedure.
1/ If you empty your production import buffer (meaning you import it all to production) before tacking the production copy you will never have this issue.
2/ If you have some transportd left in the import buffer of production , you have this issue ? I guess this is our case
I will try to reformulate the case.
The refresh of QAS is causing the lost of some customizing that were not yet imported in production but was imported in QAS prior to the refresh of QAS.
When you reimport the "overwritten" transports in QAS after the refresh, this transport is removed from the QAS import buffer and going too the import buffer of production.
A/The same transport is now twice in the import buffer of production ? we don't have this in our landscape (I even think this was not possible)
B/Or in between this transport has been imported in production and thus you are right it falls in the import buffer of production again with another sequence.
Thank you to confirm your case A or B ?.

How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

I instralled the After Effects trial program and it was running okay for a few days, then I was hit with a warning to reinstall plugins. How to reinstall plugin Media Core CFHD AVI importer 32 and MOV importer 32.pm?

Has anyone figure this out?
I started getting this after installing GoPro Studio 2.
Uninstalling it and even deleting the plugins manually didn't work, and neither did reinstalling AE.
All I could get was stop getting the error message at start-up but the problem is that any .AVI file that I import only plays audio, no video.
Please, any help appreciated.

Hi Gabriel Morleg,
Seems that you had some problem during the creation of table SAPUSER.
In order to fix the table, you will need to perform some activities directly on the database. Use SQLPlus. For the next instructions I will assume your system is called ABC and the DBSchema is called SR3.
from the operating system, start sqlplus:
sqlplus / as sysdba
check step 1:
> select count(1) from dba_users where username='OPS$ABCADM';
If the above command returns nothing, then:
> create user "OPS$ABCADM" default tablespace PSAPSR3USR temporary tablespace psaptemp identified externally;
> grant connect, resource, sapdba to "OPS$ABCADM";
check step 2:
> select owner from dba_tables where table_name = 'SAPUSER';
if the above command returns nothing, then:
> create table "OPS$ABCADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
check step 3:
>select * from "OPS$ABCADM".SAPUSER ;
if the above command returns nothing, then:
> insert into "OPS$ABCADM".SAPUSER values ('SAPSR3', 'manager');
> alter user sapsr3 identified by manager;
if the command of step 3 returns content and you want to redefine, then:
> truncate table "OPS$ABCADM".SAPUSER;
> insert into "OPS$ABCADM".SAPUSER values ('SAPSR3', 'manager');
check step 4:
> select count(*) from dba_users where username = 'OPS$ORAABC';
if the command above returns nothing, then:
> create user "OPS$ORAABC" default tablespace PSAPSR3USR temporary tablespace psaptemp identified externally;
> grant connect, resource,sapdba to "OPS$ORAABC";
check step 5:
> select owner from dba_tables where table_name = 'SAPUSER';
If the command above returns nothing, then:
> create table "OPS$ORAABC".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
check step 6:
> select * from "OPS$ORAABC".SAPUSER ;
if the command above returns nothing, then:
> insert into "OPS$ORAABC".SAPUSER values ('SAPSR3','manager');
if the command os step 6 returns content and you want to redefine them:
> truncate table "OPS$ORAABC".SAPUSER;
> insert into "OPS$ORAABC".SAPUSER values ('SAPSR3', 'manager');
This should be enough to overcome the ORA 1403 error.

Solution Manager 4.0 and SLD automatic population

Our Solution Manager 4.0 installation was failing repeatedly while importing the CIM objects into the SLD. So here is what we did:
1.During installation we pointed the Solution Manager data supplier to the production SLD. The production SLD is on 640 wheras this is on 700.
2.After installation we created the Solution Manager (Admin) SLD by creating all necessary roles, groups, users and started importing the CIM and the delta.
3.We setup the data supplier of the production SLD to populate the Solution Manager (Admin) SLD. It looks like it is not getting populated and we got the following error in the production SLD:
#73 01/09/2007 12:39:15.173 [Thread-124] WARNING com.sap.lcr.sagent.BuilderDirector: Warning: SLD target system http://host:50100/sld sld/active not available (incoming data will be ignored).
Thrown:

But this is the URL we use to go to the Solution Manager SLD!!! and the user is also correct.
1.I want to setup a way where the Solution Manager (Admin) SLD is populated from the production SLD every so often thru SMSY_SETUP -> Expert Settings -> Write back into SLD.
2.I want to use this Solution Manager (SLD) as the Admin SLD for NWA.
3.How do I know that the Object Manager of is up/down in the Solution Manager(SLD) and maybe restart it, while I can see that the SLD server is up.
3.I Manually setup some of the technical systems in the Solution Manager SLD by logging onto it http://host:port/sld, but I cannot see those in System Landscape in Solution Manager.
Can somebody please tell me how I can proceed from here.
A quick response would be appreciated with points.

Solution Manager 4.0 and Program Implementation

We are implementing an SAP Program over few years and intend to use SolMan 4.0. Can you please provide advice how to implement our scenario.
We have an SAP Program that consists of many projects. At the Program level we have a lot of common activities and documentation [e.g. Program Charter, Macro Blueprint (explained below) Change Management, Communication plan...]. Some of the projects have started in parallel, while others will follow,
All of the projects will share the information at the Program level.
What would be the right approach to implement such an SAP Program in SolMan?
Thank you.
In Macro Blueprint, we are looking at our business processes and links between them at a high level for several core areas (involving FI/CO, PS, HR, CRM...). After this exercise we will be doing Blueprint phases for individual projects.

Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.

How can some CD's import Ok and some import and have no sound?

hello, this is a support forum for the firefox browser - the issue you've described isn't really related to that though...
however it sounds as if you've uninstalled the driver for your audio device. in order to fix this, go to the support section of your device's manufacturer and browse for drivers for your hardware model, download the audio drivers available and reinstall them.

Solution Manager as CEN and PI 7.1

Hi,
We have a PI 7.1 sytem that has a Message-Based Monitoring that is configured LOCALLY via Runtime Workbench -> Alert configuration (explained here : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e05ad5a6-4b4f-2b10-df94-9b9e0392d306).
Also we have Solution Manager 4.0 SPS17 and is configured and a Central monitoring system (CEN). Soon, we are going to configure the ALM in the solution manager.
However, I need to know how the Message-Based Monitoring integrated the ALM mechanism of the CEN system ? did anyone implement it ? moreover, can we configure the Message-Based Monitoring via the solution manager to prevent any configuration being done locally ?
Please advice,
Dimitry Haritonov

You can also setup an Alert Management (ALM) either on Solution Manager or any Netweaver based system. ALM allows you control alerts more narrowly. You could have a rule for that specific system where no alerts are sent given a specific time window.
It's great for setting rules that say - send an email when XX system has an issue during these hours. Then after work or during the night shift, send an SMS text instead of an email. ALM is very powerful and can be used by all SAP solutions - ERP, SCM, Solution Manager, Portal - etc etc. It's basically a rules based system for routing alerts. Also allows you to do escalations and force people to confirm alerts when they have acknowledged them.
Hope this gives you another option.

Solution Manager 4.0 and SAP R3 4.7E - Business Process Repository Question

When I am in solution manager setting up my business processes (solar01) to select my logical component with the drop-down I do not see my SAP R3 ERP 4.7 system available for selection. They do exist in my SLD (SMSY) and all the components with the 4.7 system. Does anyone know why they are not showing up in the drop-down for business process repository selection help?
Thanks

Hi,
For how long the installation process has been running. Check the following.
1. The virtual memory page size that you have assigned.
2. The hard disk free space.
3. The Virtual memory should be optimized size, should not be larger than the free space available.
These are performance optimization settings.
I guess the installation would take around ten hours, I am not sure.
But one thing is sure <b>SAP</b> is not that bad to get aborted abruptly.
Keep Patience while installing. Before that take care that your system satisfies, requirements.
Hope I was clear. Feel free to get back, incase you face any problem.

Solution manager 7.0 and Non-SAP Sys. for managing whole IT infrastructure

Hello Gurus,
ive tried to search the allmighty google and SDN network for an answer how can we use the SolMan 7.0 for external applications (non-SAP).
What is our concern is that basically the Sol Man is described for using with whole SAP product environment. project management, chagne management, support, updating and etc.
My idea is:
Can we use SolMan for describing our whole IT projects and processes?
What i mean is if for example we have a payroll system which is running in non-SAP environment, can we describe the project for it? track the changes to it? document everything and etc. Its like to use the SolMan for whole IT infrastructure no matter if the application is SAP or non-SAP environment.
Best regards

Hello there,
SAP Solution Manager contains some functionality to work with non SAP products. For example, in transaction SMSY (system landscape) you can define non SAP products and therefore non SAP systems, although the functionatlity that you get thus is somewhat limited (no automatic refresh, no logon from RFC destination, etc).
The same applies for the project (SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) part of Solution Manager. It is possible to assign a logical component for a non SAP product to a project, then in the project it is possible to describe the process and document it but it will not be possible to use the more SAP oriented functionality like links to IMG projects, etc.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariñ

Searching for Apps to help us manage employee hours and all mobile plant maintenance and hours any suggestions

We are currently looking for a way to get rid of paper in our business. We have machines all over the place as well as staff.
Does anyone have a app that can manage employee hours and would be able to record plant (machine) hours and jobs?

If you are using Quick books in your company you can search for apps through their system and there is one that integrates with QB15 that is great but i cant remember the name right this second .
