Status of Info packages and process changes become yellow after Unicode con

Dear Friends,
We have been facing very critical issue in Production system after Unicode conversion.
Sequences of Details are provided for your reference.
1. We suspended all BW loads for 48(2 days) hours before Unicode starts and Handover the BW system to Basis.
2. Basis started doing Unicode conversion on BW and they found some standard jobs ( BI_* , Ex: BI_PROCESS_LOADING) which are released status and they assumed that these jobs would run any time so that they suspended all of them but they didnu2019t inform to BW team that they had done. We didnu2019t know that when they did that like pre-Unicode installation, during the Unicode conversion and post Unicode.
3. Basis handover the system to BW team for Unicode testing (we called five finger testing) and we didnu2019t find any issues in the testing. Again we handover the system to Basis for post installations settings for Unicode and back up things. That time we didnu2019t release any jobs to load data to BW because Basis didnu2019t inform us that we can start loads.
4. After post installation is done and basis told us that you can start loads from Monday. Entire Unicode activity had been done on weekend.
5. Before releasing all BW loads to run regularly, I found the all completed process chains status become yellow and I did further detailed analysis to find why; then found some more strange things those are as follows.
          1. Only info packages in process chains are become yellow and other process variants are fine like activation,
               DTPu2019s, index and DB stats.
          2. Requests in PSA which were completed successfully are become yellow.
          3. Info packages in the process chains are successfully completed are not updating correct status instead of green it
              showing yellow because of that other dependent objects are not triggering.
We all thought that suspension of standard jobs must have been caused the problem.
How can we change the status of IPs, PSA and process chains automatically?
We reactivate all PCu2019s and released to run tomorrow.
Could you please share your thoughts about the issue and help us resolve?
Thanks in Advance,
Nageswar.

Nageswar,
A couple of questions :
1. If your previous PC runs were in yellow status - it would not impact furute PC runs..
2. If your IPAKs are in yellow - then you might have an issue with deltas happening since the last status would have been shown as incomplete.
3. Suspension of the standard jobs will not affect the status since the jobs were suspended but not the actual loads i.e the loads were not stopped halfway but only the released jobs were stopped - you might have to schedule the process chains again to get back the old schedule.
Usually in a Unicode conversion - the data is exported out of the DB and imported back - this might have caused some inconsistency in the database for the RS tables used for the monitors.
Which version of BW are you in ..?
were there any errors in the export / import procedure for unicode conversion ?
As part of testing did you check if loads went through properly ..?
Was stats run on the tables after unicode ?
Also if possible regenerate all the indices on the files.
Rerun stats and indices for all RS* tables

Info Package in Process Chain - Performance Issue

Dear All,
We have some Info Package in Process Chain which when triggered initially turns red, then again yellow, after sometime red/green. These status keeps changing and finally results in green status. These infopackage takes 15-30 mins to complete.
And the info package error message shows "Processing time overdue". The chain runs daily and this issue also occurs on a daily basis.
Does anyone one of you have an idea of how to deal with this performance issue?
Regards.

Hi
As you said--
"initially time out time was set to 10 mins, so it was turning red at 10 mins. Later i changed it to 30 mins, then it is turning red at 30 mins, this info package takes maximum 20 mins to complete.
thatsy i asked whether there will be any problem if we remove this time out time."
I guess, its not mandatory to include the timeout value. Just try to execute the IP without entering the timeout value.
It should work.
Let me know if this helps.

Info package in process chain

Hi experts,
I want to create process chain and have created a start process
variant.Now i want to include info package. I drag and dropped the
infopackage and tried to give the infopackage name but it is showing
that there are no infopackages in the bi system. I clicked on
create, a new session of bi system is opened.When i tried to drag
and drop the other objects like dtp it is showing all the dtps in bi
system.
Anyone please explain me how to include info package into a process chain.
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards,
V N.

Hi Beekay,
Thanks for the reply.
Points assigned.
Please clarify one more doubt.
Normally all say that Inventory data loading is different from other data
loadings. Can i know how and please give me a step by step
procedure for that. I have the data sources as 2lis_03_bf and
2lis_03_um.
Cheers,

System status for IDOC creation and processing for production orders

All
I am creating IDOCs for production orders to send requirements to an external WM system for kitting execution.
I need to know whether there are any system statuses to notify me when an IDOC has been created,failed and processed. If not, how do I go about creating user defined statuses for these statuses.
Second question, which idocs should I use to confirm, teco and cancel the production orders from an external system?
Thanks
Evan

HI Evan
u can use the standard program - RBDMOIND scheduled in back ground to update the Idoc staus ,
this helps to update the IDoc Status from
'03 Data passed to port OK ' to
'12 Dispatch OK'
status 03 indicates the IDoc is successfully transmitted to Communication Layer and the Status 12 helps to confirm the data dispatch to the receiving port.

For the first part of your query refer to the technical forums.
For the second part - refer to Idoc - LOIPRO01, it has a segment for Order status, that should be of interest.
Attn Moderators
I think it would be better to move this thread to a technical forum, so the requester can get the most relevant information.

Data Load (Info package and DTP) performance

Hi,
We are planning to perform initialisation expecting 30 million records.
To improve the data load performance i am planning to increase data package size from default value to double the default value
Will that improve the performance

Adjusting the info package size would be helpful...
But don't go with INCREASING the numbers, It's all depends on the your extract structure size, source system memory settings.
I would suggest to do some trail in DEV/QUALITY systems with enough data.
I remember playing in production itself for CRM - 0BPARTNER extractor - we actually reduced the number of records to be extracted per package to improve the performance - we did see the impacts.
First calculate how much is your current package size by number of records extracted per package now with your extract structure size..and then play around..sure it will help unless you DON'T have any excessive ABAP code user exits.
Let us know if you need further help on this

I just installed latest updates and now itunes becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes

The latest OSX update (Security Update 2013-003) perhaps is breaking itunes. It becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes and I have to force quit it each time.

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Scripts, Packages and Process Chains

All,
Is the best practice to create each individual process chain for each script logic file or create one and use it for all the scripts? If I execute 2 scripts at the same time, will I encounter any locking issue?
Let's say I have Script1.LGF and Script2.LGF to perform to different activities. If I link it using the same process chain with Run logic, will the Script2.LGF execution file if Script1.LGF executes?
Thanks for your inputs.

Hi,
Yes I agree. Too many process chains would add to your maintenance. You could have once process chain and modify the dynamic script of each package you create in a such a way that they run the logic assigned to them.
If you are running the packages that are writing the same data region, you would come across concurrency data locks.
You could also check the usage of package links in your case, as you could group the packages to run one after another. (Example: Import the data from a flat file, Run the currency conversion and Run the lite optimizatio etc.) This is just an example, you could have your DM packages in the sequence driven by your business
Thanks

Finder and application windows, become inactive after a few seconds

I just finished restoring a G4 from a disk crash, installed new disk drive and a clean OS X 10.3.9. Than I restored the user's home directory and all end user applications. I am not exactly sure when I noticed this behavior, but I performed the basic troubleshooting steps below already :
• Removed any third party System Control panel
• AppleJack complete routine
• Removed Finder plist
• Switched to another user, with same result
• Booted up in SAFE MODE, no change either
• Reviewed system logs and other logs, and found no hint to his problem
• Monitored Activity Viewer for unknown services running
About every 15 seconds, the foremost window becomes grayed out/inactive. Clicking on it makes it active again, and if you start typing anything, it will not complete, due to the window going inactive again.
I have researched the net, but found not similar issue reported.
So if anyone can shed some light on this, short of re-installing the OS, it would make my long day or night by now.
Thanks in advance.

Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

Target Cost in the settled process order become zero after cost deletion

Dear all,
User has standard cost estimates created in Jan 2010 that valid until the end of 2010 for every material in the system. user created a process order in April 2010. Target cost of the order was created based on the standard cost estimate and recipes as well as order qty. The order was also confirmed and settled in April 2010 without problem.
However, after I deleted all old costing estimates before I did a costing run for all materials in May 2010, the old order was resettled and all Target cost is removed from the order. I guess system try to look at April costing estimate but it is not there since it was deleted before I created the new costing estimate in May. Therefore, all varainces are throwed into remaining variances since the target cost become zero.
Other than mark the settled order for deletion or keep all old costing estimates, I am just wondering is anyway in the configuration to prevent the system to recaculate the target cost again for the settlement so I can avoid the problem happens?
Thanks.

Hi,
Target costs are only calculated after goods movements have occured on the order, the Target Costs are then calculated during the Variance calculation.
Target costs will only be calculated after the first goods receipt has been posted to the order. Also you have to ensure that the information to calculate target costs exists on the system in particular in OKV6.
This estimation is based on the customizing for the Target cost version in transaction OKV6 as in turn will the "real" calculation of the Target costs via the variance calculation.
So in OKV6 the Target cost will be based on preliminary costing on the order, an alternative cost estimate or the current standard cost estimate. Importantly if the choosen option is not fulfilled e.g. no current standard cost estimate, the target costs will not be predicted or calculated.
regards
Waman

How to delete contacts from iPhone and update changes to PC after synch?

I spend a lot of time deleting old/unwanted/duplicated contacts on iPhone. Then I synch with PC through iTunes and I get two options: 1. MERGE or 2. Replace contacts on iPhone with PC information. If I click MERGE then all those contacts I deleted come back to my iPhone. MERGE seems to be a merely 'collapse' information feature...whether is from PC to iPhone or viceversa.
Obviously I don't want to replace my iPhone contacts with those in PC, because then I will loose all those pictures I took to my contacts...also, all the time spent assigning pictures to contacts will go to trash can.
This is kind of irritating...am I the only one having this problem? Active Synch for SmartPhones or Pocket PC nailed this down beautifully (it knows where the latest/most updated information happened and keeps that one).
Help please.
Message was edited by: apac

Thank you for trying to help.
I don't want to replace the information on my iPhone because in my iPhone where i have the most updated information (pictures assigned to contacts and deleted duplicated/unwanted contacts)...I would like to replace the contacts on my PC instead.
After doing what you are suggesting will I be able to replace information on my PC? Is this what you mean?
Thank you.

U00C9 becomes u00C3 after unicode conversion

Hi all,
After the unicode conversion in ECC 6.0 server, when we download a file from SAP to unix, the character É becomes Ã in the file,
1 When cat the file, it shows as
1. cat testzzz
TRÃSOR
2. When more the same file, it displays a different character # more testzzz
TRM-CM-^ISOR
3. When we download the same file to our PC and open it in the notepad it looks ok.
TRÉSOR
4. In the SAP also this displays correctly as below
TRÉSOR
So when I was checking the locale parameter at unix level, I could see that its "C".
1. locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
From my understanding "C" doesn't support unicode, so we tried "univ.utf8" & fi_FI.utf8 for LC_CTYPE but no luck.
Did anyone faced this problem earlier.
Our OS HPUX 11.31 - IA64

Hi Senthil,
what terminal software are you using. I use putty and when I switch my terminal window translation settings to UTF-8, I get the correct text. Therefore I assume that your problem is your terminal emulation.

Process Chain error during info package execution

I'm trying to load master data into 0CURTYPE using process chain.
I have created a start process and included the info package and corresponding DTP in the chain to load master data into the info object.
On scheduling the process chain I get an error during the execution of the info package
"Could not find code page for receiving system
For the logical destination Q4900CL010, you want to determine the code page in which the data is sent with RFC. However, this is not currently possibe, and the IDoc cannot yet be dispatched."
Is it relatred to some setting whihc I have missed out?
Any help on this please?
Thanks,

Hi, this is a issue related to idocs in the source....
U can contact ur BASIS team to solve this...
From their end they have to chk the unprocessed/errored idocs in BD87...
this issue belongs to source...
They have to run a report:RBDAGAIN to process the errore idoc's in the source which are in STATUS:'02'.
This is a solution for temporarilrly basis...
if this occurs regularly they have to change the settings in SM59..
