Suggestion for SAP Developments WIKI

Hi,
Quite often in SDN there are messages asking can you do this or that etc. Often you cannot but they are things that would be nice to have. For example this /thread/630552 [original link is broken] discusses workprotect mode in the portal and how it would be nice to change it per iview (the users can personalise it per user id so would not be that hard).
Maybe add it as a Wiki page?
Any comments welcome.
Paul

Presently there are moderators for many of the wiki areas. These are folks that usually do take the time and effort to review what is happening in their individual areas. For example I see that in the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/Main">Portal</a> Wiki space you have Mike Nicholls and Daniel Wroblewski. As we move forward to an Expert wiki concept there will be more of this engagement with subject experts in the wiki spaces.
Just to set expectations clearly, although you are lucky in that your moderators are engaged folks, not all areas have that level of engagement yet.

Suggestions for SAP BI/BW training

Hello All,
I am a newbie to SAP without any prior knowledge of programming. I am a data analyst by profession with 5 years of working experience. Now I would like to learn SAP BI/BW module. I would like to take training in SAP BI. I am not fully aware of SAP BI 7.3 and added to my confusion few of the training institutes are offering SAP BI 7.4 on HANA etc. Can somebody shed some light into this and explain to me which module suits better considering my working experience and what is the latest version in this module that I should ask for? Are there any prerequisites to learn this module?
Thanks a lot for your kind help.
Best Regards,
Kalpana

Hi Neha,
I am not sure, whether I understand your question correctly.
- SAP ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0) and SAP Solution Manager 4.0 are separate installations, each will get their own system id.
They might share the same hardware, depending on your hardware capacity.

I've downloaded the Complete View, the Methods View and the Output View of ASAP Implementation Roadmap V3.7. However I can't find the referred roadmap content about SAP BI.
Have you got any idea about where I can find it?

About future for SAP XI?

Hi Experts,
Im new to SAP.
Im an MCA fresher and im planning to go for SAP XI training with my friend's suggestion.
Just i wanted to know the openings for XI and Future for XI.
Can i start my career as XI fresher?
what are the basic requirements i should have if i go for XI training?
Kindly do needful.
regards,
Arvind.

Hi Arvind Subramaniam ,
>>Can i start my career as XI fresher?
Yes. It is a good Netweaver technology & u can either try as a developer or at Admin side. But there r good oppurtinities as a XI Developer.
>>what are the basic requirements i should have if i go for XI training?
XI is configuration type & maximum stuff wil be mapping . But , sometimes there arises a need to import JAVA code into XI. Hence if u know JAVA/J2EE it's a added advantage.
All the best for u'r success in future!
These r some excellent websites on basics of XI which familarizes u with XI:

Suggestions for optimal solution to load application with dynaminc view

Hi Experts,
I have a Web service which is providing me data from database as well as data which will help to create UI of the view.
In my view i have to ceate tabs in a tabstrip. Number of tabs are dynamic depending on data from web service. In each tab i have to create tables with dynamic columns and some additional text views and edits. Now, tabs and columns of tables, coming from web service are in random order and i need to sort the tabs and tables depending on values filled in a database table. this database table is like a configuration table.
Creating view in a random order is done and for createing a sorted view i am planning to go with "bucket sort". Now my question here is as every thing is dynamic it will take lot of time for aplication to load which is not desired.
I need your expert suggestions on how can i reduce the time view takes to Load entire application.
Regards
Pranav

Hi Friend,
There are may ways to optimize the performance of the application,
First we need to concentrate on the basic web dynpro concepts like componentization. By implementing this concept we can achieve the gol. we need to know whether the monolithic component architecture or Multi component architecture which is suitable and the communication flow between them. More on this you can find here
[Use components in bigger Web Dynpro projects (componentization) |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/UsecomponentsinbiggerWebDynproprojects+(componentization)]
second you can check the proper implementation of the web DynPro hook methods. if this is done properly then most of the application flow will go very smoothly. there is one very good presentation available on this at SDN here
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn;jsessionid=(J2EE3417200)ID0393138650DB00661116440296043375End?rid=/library/uuid/20e72f90-efea-2b10-0382-8dd420ee555e&overridelayout=true
You should also check these link it will be very Helpful.

Error while scheduling report for SAP users

Hi All,
We have SAP authentication enabled in our BO environment. (BO XI 3.1 sp2 FP 2.6 on windows 2003 server).
There are some webi reports based on BW Bex queries that we are trying to run on behalf of certain SAP end users. This we are doing using "schedule for" option.
Now what is happening here is if the end user has logged in once in BO system ,it runs fine. But in case user has not logged in to BO (using infoview etc.) ,it throws error saying "incomplete logon data" . Also if user changes or reset his password in BW and if he doesn't login to infoview after that ,system throws another error "Name or password incorrect (repeat logon)".
Based on these observation, we are suspecting if BO system uses stored SAP users credentials while scheduling report for them based on their last login.
Would like to mention here that we have checked option "automatically import users".
Please advice if this behavior is normal or we are missing some setting.
Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hi All,
Any pointers or suggestions for this issue ??
Is there a setting/option avialable in CMC which could resolve these errors.
Or, user has to login once to infoview in all circumstances to avoid these errors.
Thanks,
Chandra

BODS : Datastore options for SAP R/3 - need clarity for use

Hi All.
Another request to understand the datastore optiono n BOXI 3.1 BODS existing installation.
We are trying to pull a new table from SAP R/3 into BODS and we find that ABAP program is not getting generated as expected. And terminates. When we tested a simple workflow.
While creating a new datastore for SAP R/3 Source :
When we look at the datastore we find the following options for R3 Source ;
ABAP Execution option :
Execute preloaded
Generate and execute
Under data transfer method we find ;
Shared directory
Direct download
FTP
Custom transfer
Then we have working directory on sap server
local directory
generated ABAP Directory
Am testing a simple workflow of pulling data from SAP R/3 in a dev machine.
But am not understanding.
which option of ABAP Execution, and data transfer , path would work in co-ordination.
Because when i say direct download and say generate and execute it throws error.
Can anyone help me with combinations of the options to choose for a R/3 source. And the implications thereof.
I had created a folder under local bods server D:\Bodi. And given the path for data transfer.
But the files are not getting generated for whatsoever reasons.
Any advise on this would be helpful.
Also found a bit unusual, that there was no button to test the connection to be correct or not, a TEST connection button is not there. Which i felt, could be included.
Note : on the existing production system, we have chosen execute preloaded; shared directory on sap server. and shared that folder path for the user and given full rights. But while we try to do the same on the dev machine a test before transporting on production, a simple workflow does not work.
would like to know what settings on sap server, really affect the data store options on the BODS
thanks
indu

Indeed, BODS <> SAP connectivity can be tricky.
For a development environment, I suggest you select the option "Generate and execute" for your "ABAP Execution Option." What this means is that DS will create, on the fly, small-ish ABAP programs. These ABAP programs will be written, in plain text, to a local directory on the DS job server, in the folder specified in "Generated ABAP Directory". You can see them in there after an attempted job execution, assuming the job involves the creation of an ABAP program. The ABAP program name is specified in the properties of an ABAP data flow, under Options > ABAP Program Name. If you can't, perhaps the DS job server process doesn't have full rights to that folder - ? After being generated on-the-fly, they'll be transferred to SAP to execute. The SAP user you use to connect to SAP must have sufficient rights to upload-and-execute these ABAP programs, and that's a fairly substantial set of rights. What's required is documented in the BODS supplement for SAP. Often, to get things running, your friendly local Basis admin will grant SAP_ALL to the DS user, to see what rights are being invoked.
Once all that jazz is working, you need to get the data back. There are a number of ways to do this. The method of data transfer is specified in "Data transfer method," where, ignoring "Custom transfer," you have three choices:
1) Direct Download: easiest and slowest. This method tells SAP to attempt to stick data in the client-side folder specified in "Local directory." Try this first.
2) Shared folder: This is recommended when you have SAP being hosted on a Windows box. Basically: you set "Working directory on SAP Server" and "Data Services path to the shared directory" to point to the same folder. SAP uses the "Working directory on SAP Server" to find this folder, and DS uses the other setting. So, for instance, if you were going to use the Shared folder method, you could set "Working directory on SAP Server" to "E:\BODS_Transfer", and, assuming E:\BODS_Transfer was shared-out as "BODS_Transfer", you could set "Data Services path to the shared directory" to
dev12.somecompany.com\BODS_Transfer . Then, you'd need to setup all the relevant security, as both SAP and DS need rights to read and write files in this folder.
3) FTP (this is the method I usually use): SAP writes the "transport files" you're after (i.e., the data) in the folder specified in "Working directory on SAP Server". Then, you need to establish ftp connectivity to that folder from the DS job server's perspective, which you do by entering the ftp host name and the path to that folder in "FTP host name" and "FTP relative path to the SAP working directory". In my opinion, the "relative" business is a little confusing, and I just typically enter the full ftp path, beginning the path w/ a forward slash, like "/usr/sap/tmp/BOBJ" or something like that. You also need to obtain a separate username and password for the ftp connectivity. Note that this name and password has NOTHING to do with the SAP username and password; you're just setting-up DS to act as an ftp client. I strongly encourage you to test ftp connectivity by using a regular ftp client from the DS job server and attempt to connect to your ftp host using the username and password you were given, and attempting to fetch some sample test file. If you can't do this, manually, then DS won't be able to do it, either.
Best wishes,
Jeff Prenevost

ArchWiki: suggestion for a new page layout

Finally, I have some time to spare for ArchWiki improvement.
I have modified my article on CMYK support in The GIMP as an example.
Please take a look at it here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMY … n_The_GIMP
The code to produce the box on the right is here:
{{sn|'''Article summary:'''
This article will show how to enable rudimentary CMYK support in The GIMP using the Separate plug-in, and explain how to use color proof filter to soft-proof your images.
It will also cover more general topics on CMYK colors and DTP.
'''Required software:'''

*[http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml Separate plugin source]
'''Related article:'''
*[[Using lprof to profile monitors]]
This is the best we can do with current ArchWiki setup. It would be even better if we could list categories in the box, as well as i18n links.

I've been tinkering with the templates. It's fixed now, I think.
Anyway, the templates used for the job can be seen from the code:
{{Article summary start}}

As you can see, it's a bit more typing than before, but it sure looks better. I might shorten the names for the templates. I wanted to make them memorable so they are a bit long.
As you can see, the problem of i18n links integration was fixed, so you can use existing i18n template and combine with the new "Article summary" set.
I will modify the article about writing summaries to include those templates and examples.
EDIT: :oops: the i18n links in the article are just examples. Don't use them, since they lead to non-existing pages.
EDIT2: Okay, I've played around with the appearance of the summary box, but I'm at work now, so it's going nowhere. I'll play with it some more when I get home.

Which is the right way?/place to post the suggestion to SAP

Hi Freinds,
if someone have to make a suggestion to SAP, for its product extension..or maybe a new feature to add to its existing product offering...which is the right place...shld it be in the form of a blog or a post in a forum...
and if indeed turns out to be a unique feasible feature and gets lots of positive response...why kind of recognition will it get....

lol. there's a world outside the US for those who don't know.
therefore ASUG might not be the right address for someone living elswhere. there are some SAP user groups in other areas of this world, eg in germany it's DSAG; unfortunately you have to be a member of those 'societies' (membership fee) and it's not easy to make yourself heard in the beginning.
SAP could provide better channels for that, e.g. special SDN areas for that purpose.
rgds,
anton
