Standard Practice for Bank File (Payment Lot) Process

Hello Experts,
We have requirement to process to bank files and to post payment lot in SAP. I know it is possible to post payment lot using FPB3 (by converting bank file to SAP standard format/layout). I also found standard payment lot BAPI function modules such as BAPI_CTRACPAYMINC_CREATE .
So either we can convert our bank file in SAP standard format and then process it using FPB3 (which has its own advantages such as post processing) or we can read that file and then push that information in standard BAPIs through same interface program.
So I would like to know best practice used in bank file processing. Personally I like FPB3 transaction but at the same time I am not sure why SAP has given those standard BAPIs?
Any suggestions or inputs would be of great help. Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Nikhil.

Nikhil:
They are not meant to be an either/or proposition. The BAPIs might be useful when payments aer made/received throughout the day in another system and you want to put them into a lot as they are received. The bapis allow for a de-centralized approach. FPB3 allows for a centralized, single shot approach, which is the case with most lockbox type payment scenarios. In this way, only one interface is required, and the full lots are processed into SAP. Depending on business process and requirements, either (and others) might be used.
regards,
bill.

:-) How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

Hi All,
We encounter a problem.
Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
We'd like to specify another path.
Thx for your help.
Erwan

Hello,
Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
You can link your PC directory to the application server.
You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
Hope this solves your problem.

Standard layout for AP cheque payment

Hello All,
Can you please provide me the standard layout for the AP cheque payment for the tcode F110.
Its urgent.I will reward you with points.
Thanks,
Karan

Hi,
Simple procedure in developing a check printing using SAP Script is:
Copy the SAP delivered layout set F110_PRENUM_CHK using TCode SE71
Change the copied layout to meet the custom requirements. This is to avoid developing the application from the scratch.
Goto-> FBZP transaction and in the payment methods for company code, find the company code, click on "Paylink Cheques" and assign the custom form name here.

E-Recruiting: Standard WF for candidate creation remains in process

Hi all,
we are using E-Recruiting 6.03 and I don't understand why the standard workflow WS51900008 (Object creation) remains in process on the task that calls the method ERC_ACTIV.ProcessDocument when a
new candidate is created (activity 1010, Acknowledge Candidate). So no notification is sent. If I try the same method from SWO1 it works fine with the same instance.
Any suggestion, please?
Thanks, best regards.
Angelo

Hi Angelo,
the straight forward solution would easily be: "Forget this Workflow". If you do a serious rollout project for sap e-recruiting you have to design your process(es), define your activities based on it/them and implement the workflows you need. The delivered workflows can be taken to find info on existing / delivered functions but not even work as base to copy the rollout workflows as they are gigantic monolites which you can not develop to your requirements while keeping maintanence possible.
If you really insist on getting the workflow running, please check the following points:
- wf-batch needs SAP_ALL as sap requires
- wf-batch needs a candidate created using RCF_CREATE_USER, pick an employee id which does not process conflicts to existing ones e.g. if you test ALE
- wf-batch needs a printer assigned in his profile
- ensure propper workflow config
- ensure the workflow is using the event queue AND the event queue is really running. All workflows triggered by ERC_OBJECT event CREATED has to use the event queue otherwise you will produce errors and data inconsistencies

Best Practice for Flat File Data Uploaded by Users

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
1.     Users would like to upload data from flat file and subsequently view their reports.
2.     SAP BW support team would not be involved in data upload process.
3.     Users would not go to RSA1 and use InfoPackages & DTPs. Hence, another mechanism for data upload is required.
4.     Users consists of two group, external and internal users. External users would not have access to SAP system. However, access via a portal is acceptable.
What are the best practice we should adopt for this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi,
I can share what we do in our project.
We get the files from the WEB to the Application Server in path which is for this process.The file placed in the server has a naming convention based on ur project,u can name it.Everyday the same name file is placed in the server with different data.The path in the infopackage is fixed to that location in the server.After this the process chain trigers and loads the data from that particular path which is fixed in the application server.After the load completes,a copy of file is taken as back up and deleted from that path.
So this happens everyday.

Best Practice for data pump or import process?

We are trying to copy existing schema to another newly created schema. Used export data pump to successfully export schema.
However, we encountered some errors when importing dump file to new schema. Remapped schema and tablespaces, etc.
Most errors occur in PL/SQL... For example, we have views like below in original schema:
CREATE VIEW *oldschema.myview* AS
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM *oldschema.mytable*
WHERE coll1 = 10
Quite a few Functions, Procedures, Packages and Triggers contain "*oldschema.mytable*" in DML (insert, select, update) statement, for exmaple.
Getting the following errors in import log:
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_FUNCTION:"TEST"."MYFUNCTION" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_PROCEDURE:"TEST"."MYPROCEDURE" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type VIEW:"TEST"."MYVIEW" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type PACKAGE_BODY:"TEST"."MYPACKAGE" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type TRIGGER:"TEST"."MYTRIGGER" created with compilation warnings
A lot of actual errors/invalid objects in new schema are due to:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
My question is:
1. What can we do to fix those errors?
2. Is there a better way to do the import with such condition?
3. Update PL/SQL and recompile in new schema? Or update in original schema first and export?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I routinely get many (MANY) errors as follows and they always compile when I recompile using utlrp.
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_FUNCTION:"TKCSOWNER"."RPTSF_WR_LASTOUTPUNCH" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_FUNCTION:"TKCSOWNER"."RPTSF_WR_REFPERIODENDFOREMP" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_FUNCTION:"TKCSOWNER"."RPTSF_WR_TAILOFFSECS" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_FUNCTION:"TKCSOWNER"."FN_GDAPREPORTGATHERER" created with compilation warnings
Processing object type DATABASE_EXPORT/SCHEMA/PROCEDURE/ALTER_PROCEDURE
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_PROCEDURE:"TKCSOWNER"."ABSENT_EXCEPTION" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_PROCEDURE:"TKCSOWNER"."ACCRUAL_BAL_PROJ" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_PROCEDURE:"TKCSOWNER"."ACCRUAL_DETAILS" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_PROCEDURE:"TKCSOWNER"."ACCRUAL_SUMMARY" created with compilation warnings
ORA-39082: Object type ALTER_PROCEDURE:"TKCSOWNER"."ACTUAL_SCHEDULE" created with compilation warnings
It works. In all my databases: peoplesoft, kronos, and others...
I should qualify that it may still be necessary to 'debug' specific problems, but most common typical problems are easily resolved using the utlrp.sql. The usual problems I run into are typically because of a database link that points to another database such as in a production environment that we firewall our test and development databases from linking to (for obvious reasons).

EP Upgrade - SP14 - Best Practice for Modification File Comparison

SDN Experts -
We are upgrading our EP from SP14 - SP16. SAP offers a file "diff" tool that is only useful for Java application files to assist in re-applying our mods on top of the new code stack.
We are looking for best practices in Portal upgrades to do the following:
- Identify all files that we have modified on existing SP
- Diff all source code files (java, XML, GUI, other) between Current SP14 and SP16
We are also looking for documentation that identifies the local directory structure for NWDS. This would aid us in creating a batch process to "diff" our source code libraries.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not realy getting your question because you already state what to do:
We are looking for best practices in Portal upgrades to do the following:
Identify all files that we have modified on existing SP
Diff all source code files (java, XML, GUI, other) between Current SP14 and SP16
You should know by documentation what is changed I guess? Then start diff-ing the code and recompile or repackage. NWDS also has diff functionalities.
Good luck,
Benjamin

Best practice for handling errors in EOIO processing on AEX?

Hi,
I'm looing for resources and information describing the best practice on how to handle processing errors of asynchronous integrations with Exactly-Once-In-Order QoS on an AEX (7.31) Java only installation. Most information I've found so far are describing a the monitoring and restart jobs on AS ABAP.
Situation to solve:
multiple different SOAP messages are integrated using one queue with an RFC receiver. On error the message status is set to Holding and all following messages are Waiting. Currently I need to manually watch over the processing, delete the message with status holding and restart the waiting ones.
Seems like I can setup component based message alerting to trigger an email or whatever alert. I still need to decide on how to handle the error and resolve it (ie. delete the errornous message, correct the data at sender and trigger another update). I still need to manually find the oldest entry with status waiting and restart it. I've found a restart job in Background jobs in configuration and monitoring home, but it can be only scheduled in intervals of 1 or more hours.
Is there something better?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Nikolaus

Hi Nikolaus -
AFAIK - For EOIO, you have to cancel the failed message and then process the next message in the sequence manually..
Restart job only works the messages which are in error state but not in holding state.. So you have to manually push the message... So there is no other alternative.
But it should not be that difficult to identify the messages in a sequence..

Though it is for older version, it should be the same.. you should be able to select the additional columns such as sequence ID from the settings..

Best practices for saving files when emailing to the media?

I'm pretty much an Ai imposter. I have Illustrator cs4 (14.0.0) and the way I use it is to cobble my designs together from iStock vector files and a lot of trial and error. Occasionally my husband throws me a lifeline because he is skilled with PhotoShop. As a small business owner, I am dying to find the time to take a course but right now I am just trying to float around the forums and learn what I can. Basically I flail about near the computer and the design sloooowly and somewhat mysteriously comes together. It's getting faster and is kind of fun, unless I get stuck.
This week I had a problem with an ad I designed for a very small community orchestra's printed programs. I send them a pdf first, and when they view it on their screens using inDesign they see the whole image but when it printed it omitted an element (a sunburst in the background). They thought it had something to do with that element being in color rather than greyscale (though there were other elements that survived and they were the exact same color so I was skeptical). I sent a greyscale file, no luck. I sent them the Ai file, but that apparently "crashed" their iD and now they believe I've sent a corrupted file. They aren't very adobe-savvy, either.
I've designed and emailed no fewer than 9 other ads to other print & online media organizations this year and never had a problem. The file looks fine to me in all versions I open/upload/email to myself.
You can see it here if you like: http://www.scribd.com/doc/27776704/RCMA-for-CSO-Greyscale
So here are my specific questions:
1. How SHOULD I be saving this stuff? Is pdf the mark of a rookie?
2. What settings should I be looking at when/before saving? I read about overprint, for example, and did try that with one of the versions I sent them to no avail. I don't really know what that does, so I was just trying a hail mary there anyway.
Thanks for your time!

PDF is the modern way of sending files but what you might want to do is in this case select the art in question and go to Object>Flatten Transparency
then save it as a pdf or as an ai file when sending the file to them zip it if they have windows based computers or stuffit if they have Mac actually zip is good for both.
It is safer to send it as an archive then as an ai file.

Best practice for property file

I am trying one small code which uses values from property file.
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
 InputStream inputStream = servletContext.getResourceAsStream(/WEB-INF/test.properties);
 PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
 Properties prop = new Properties();
 prop.load(inputStream);
 inputStream.close();
 String nameprop = prop.getProperty("name");
 out.println(nameprop);
 }I am getting the value from property file, It's perfectly ok as far as test code is concerned. Above will open the inputStream for each thread, which is not needed so i modified it and put in inside init() method. That is also working, i believe this will give me some better performance.
But can i extend it further? I load property file at application level and all my servlets make use of it?
What is normal practice to read property file to get good performance? I serached forum, i found some info there but could not figure out exactly how people are doing it.
Thanks in advance,
regards
Manisha

Thanks to all posters,
As mentioned by duffymo, I tried some code which i tested on my m/c and working fine. But just want to confirm, what i understood and wrote is correct.
I wrote 1st servlet to get the property file and store into servlet context, 2nd servlet is just to test it.
1st Servlet:
package common;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestPropertyfiles_1 extends HttpServlet
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
 super.init(config);
 try{
 String PF_PATH = "/WEB-INF/test.properties";
 Properties prop = new Properties();
 InputStream inputStream = config.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(PF_PATH);
 prop.load(inputStream);
 inputStream.close();
 getServletContext().setAttribute("pf", prop);
 }catch(Exception e){}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
 PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
 Properties tmpprop = (Properties) getServletContext().getAttribute("pf");
 String nameprop = tmpprop.getProperty("name");
 out.println("name from property file" + nameprop);
}2nd servlet:
package common;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestPropertyfiles_2 extends HttpServlet
 public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
 super.init(config);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
 PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
 Properties tmpprop = (Properties) getServletContext().getAttribute("pf");
 String nameprop = tmpprop.getProperty("name");
 out.println("name from property file - no 2" + nameprop);
}This was initially giving problem if I access 2nd servlet first before accessing 1st servlet. I did some changes inside web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>common.TestPropertyfiles_1</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>common.TestPropertyfiles_1</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
And then all was ok.
One thing came to my mind. I can have one common servlet just for all initialisation, this will not have any doGet/doPost.
regards
Manisha

Best practices for ZFS file systems when using live upgrade?

I would like feedback on how to layout the ZFS file system to deal with files that are constantly changing during the Live Upgrade process. For the rest of this post, lets assume I am building a very active FreeRadius server with log files that are constantly updating and must be preserved in any boot environment during the LU process.
Here is the ZFS layout I have come up with (swap, home, etc omitted):
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
rpool 11.0G 52.0G 94K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 4.80G 52.0G 18K legacy
rpool/ROOT/boot1 4.80G 52.0G 4.28G /
rpool/ROOT/boot1/zones-root 534M 52.0G 20K /zones-root
rpool/ROOT/boot1/zones-root/zone1 534M 52.0G 534M /zones-root/zone1
rpool/zone-data 37K 52.0G 19K /zones-data
rpool/zone-data/zone1-runtime 18K 52.0G 18K /zones-data/zone1-runtimeThere are 2 key components here:
1) The ROOT file system - This stores the / file systems of the local and global zones.
2) The zone-data file system - This stores the data that will be changing within the local zones.
Here is the configuration for the zone itself:
<zone name="zone1" zonepath="/zones-root/zone1" autoboot="true" bootargs="-m verbose">
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/lib"/>
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/platform"/>
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/sbin"/>
<inherited-pkg-dir directory="/usr"/>
<filesystem special="/zones-data/zone1-runtime" directory="/runtime" type="lofs"/>
<network address="192.168.0.1" physical="e1000g0"/>
</zone>The key components here are:
1) The local zone / is shared in the same file system as global zone /
2) The /runtime file system in the local zone is stored outside of the global rpool/ROOT file system in order to maintain data that changes across the live upgrade boot environments.
The system (local and global zone) will operate like this:
The global zone is used to manage zones only.
Application software that has constantly changing data will be installed in the /runtime directory within the local zone. For example, FreeRadius will be installed in: /runtime/freeradius
During a live upgrade the / file system in both the local and global zones will get updated, while /runtime is mounted untouched in whatever boot environment that is loaded.
Does this make sense? Is there a better way to accomplish what I am looking for? This this setup going to cause any problems?
What I would really like is to not have to worry about any of this and just install the application software where ever the software supplier sets it defaults to. It would be great if this system somehow magically knows to leave my changing data alone across boot environments.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hello "jemurray".
Have you read this document? (page 198)
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7013?l=en
Then the solution is:
01.- Create an alternate boot enviroment
a.- In a new rpool
b.- In the same rpool
02.- Upgrade this new enviroment
03.- Then I've seen that you have the "radious-zone" in a sparse zone (it's that right??) so, when you update the alternate boot enviroment you will (at the same time) upgrading the "radious-zone".
This maybe sound easy but you should be carefull, please try this in a development enviroment
Good luck
