System Domain Change

We will soon be going through a Domain change from "NTDP" to "GOVT".
There is a fair amount of shall we say...hesitation (trying to be nice)...regarding what types of changes, if any, are required for the Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 system. Is anyone aware of any existing documentation regarding such a change?
For example, the configuration tab on all of the crystal servers tell me that the "CMS belongs to cluster 'WIT157.NTDP.Henrico". However, we don't really "cluster" the CMS. In other words, there is only 1 CMS server, not multiple. Regardless, will that cluster name need to change to GOVT? Or this name just a name.
Any other recommendations on things to look into regarding a Domain change like this?
It's been a while since BO XI was installed. Years. I'm not sure anyone's really paid it a lot of attention in this whole domain change things. Trying to make sure this app doesn't slip through the cracks.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

The domain change will appear as a server name change in releases prior to XI 3.x. You may need to recreate the server/services. There are SAP notes on this in the SMP.
If you have any services running under AD accounts you must insure they can still run in the new domain (or if the old domain is going away) you will need to create their accounts in the new domain. You will need a domain account for various reasons(like sending reports to a network location or to enabling kerberos).
If you use AD or NT authentication enabled then you may need a lot more planning depending on what's happening to the old domain.

Command to Open "Computer Name/Domain Changes" window

Running the commands SystemPropertiesComputerName or "sysdm.cpl" in command line will open the System Properties window. I still have to click on the "Change" button to
get to the Computer Name/Domain Changes window. Is there a command to get to the
Computer Name/Domain Changes window directly? I have been searching the internet for several days. I've also tried using SendKeys (batch file, VBScript, and in PowerShell) and to send two TABS
and an ENTER key but I can't get it to work. The command doesn't seem to work on the
System Properties window.
Thank you,
Tom

OS domain change

Hi ,
We are going to change our DOMAIN in sever, Is that we need to take any pre-requisites in SAP level for the Domain change. We are going to stop the application server before changing the domain.
Thanks in advance ,
Regards,
Rakesh

The system will not work/come up after you switched the domain. You will need to adapt the permissions on the filesystem for the new users (in the new domain), registry permission, OPS$-Users (in case of Oracle) and various other things.
I suggest you do a system copy instead (backup the system, delete it, switch domain and reinstall).

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

My volume is greyed out when I turn on the Mac, but for some reason it works again when I turn on bluetooth. Nothing in system prefs changes this???

System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Pr

Hi Experts,
Issue- System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Purchase requistion.
Process followed:
1. Create Service Pr with material group 5040 which is assigned to valuation class 3511 and 3511 is assigned to g/l account 51370000
2. Changed Service PR material group from 5040 to 5050. 5050 is assigned to valuation class 3512 and 3512 is assigned to G/L account 51260000
The issue is when we changed the material group from 5040 to 5050 system is not picking the g/l account which is assigned to 5050 i.e. 51260000
instead the g/l remains remains as before which is there for 5040 i.e. 51370000
Please let me know how can we resolve this problem and pick the correct g/l. Please find the attachments
Regards
Badri

Hello Badari,
if you are using the item category D "Services", explanation from note 663983 - ME22(N), ME52(N): No new G/L account from material group applies:
Please consider the following:
You can maintain the material group both at item level and at service line level. If you subsequently change the material group at item level, the material groups remain unchanged in the services. As a result, the G/L account is not redetermined at service line level.
In order for the G/L account to be redetermined, you must explicitly change the material group in the service line.
Kind Regards

Business system Doesnot change while transporting

Hi All,
When Transporting my business system from DEV to QA, my business system doesnot change. I already checked in SLD that my DEV business system is pointing to the correct system in QA. Also DEV and QA are on one SLD only.
You guys will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
---Satish

You also have to make sure that the DEV/QAS Business Systems are associated to the respective DEV/QAS XI system. For that, open the BS in SLD, go to the "Integration" tab and check the "Related Integration Server".
Also, make sure that both the DEV BS & DEV XI are inside the same "DEV" transport group in SLD, as well as the QAS BS & QAS XI are both in the same "QAS" group.

Henrique.

Dynamic System Domains = zone?

Is Dynamic System Domains the same thing as zones?

No.
Zones are a software isolation of certain processes. There's still a single kernel running, and there's always a global zone that has full visibility into all zones. If you have to bring down the global zone, you bring down all the non-global ones also. Resources are managed by software tools (limits, SRM, etc.)
Dynamic System Domains are supported by hardware on certain sunfire machines. They allow you to allocate hardware (like memory or CPUs) into a "domain" and to run an operating system in it. There's not a global domain, and multiple domains may be running or not running in any combination. You can run different operating systems in each domain. Resources are managed by explicitly joining hardware to a domain.

Importance of Certification for Domain Change

Hi,
I have two years experience in development in .Net technologies in a reputed MNC. After that I took a break for personal reasons and now am planning to get back into the industry. During that period of work, i had taken part in a "boot camp" carried out by my company itself in SAP PI/XI 7.1, which perked a lot of interest in me towards SAP. Domain change, unfortunately, was not encouraged in my company, at least at my level.
I am now looking forward to doing Certification in a SAP module. I have a few questions.
1. Even though I have coding experience, will I be counted as a fresher, since it is not in SAP technologies? I think Certification is important towards improving my chances in improving my chances in securing a job as a SAP consultant?
2. I am leaning more towards functional modules than technical. My work exposed me more towards communications end, especially mobile app development, can any one suggest a good module i should look into? I liked SAP PI/XI since including a bit of coding as well, which i though would be good for me since i have experience in that domain, but some consider it as an advanced module, so I'm really not sure.
Thanks and regards,
Arnab

Hi Arnab,
1. As far as SAP is concerned, you would be considered as a fresher. However, your .net experience would be some handy. SAP Certification may help to market your CV being a fresher. At the end of day, whether you have Certification or not, you need to show case and prove your abilities in the interview.
2. Particularly, mobile technologies have good demand. You should follow the mobile technology space on SCN. There are some wonder people in this area, I am sure, they would be able to advise you in more details.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Ravi

System Preferences Changing Without User Input

I have one user who has had random system preferences change without her input.
She is a network user connecting to a Lion 10.7.5 Server via OD.
Her desktop is Lion - 10.7.4
Example: Today her setting for Security and Privacy to require a password on screen saver wake-up was changed/no longer checked.
Her setting to be able to use a right click on her mouse changed 3x last week without input.
Any ideas?

If you are asking if the user is defined more than once, the answer is no. Just one entry.

Exit for CJ20N where system status changes can be captured

Hi Experts,
I need exit for CJ20N where system status changes can be captured
for both the below cases
1) When WBS Element is having Networks inside it
2) when WBS Element is having no networks inside it
EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 --->>> ZXCO1U01 , will work for 1) , but not for 2)
i want an exit where status change gets captured for both cases 1 and 2 and
will do further processing according to client needs based on status change
Need to trigger IDOC on status change of WBS element.
If WBS is having network inside it , then network status changes also with WBS status change
and IDOC should trigger for WBS also.
I just want suitable exit / place for coding . Rest i can do.
if no suitable exit / BADI , then what is the best possible place where i can go for Implicit Enhancement
Best Regards,
Gaurav

I am kind of stuck in a similar issue. I need to perform custom validations on standard fields which cannot be done through OPSI or OPUC transactions. 0007 or 0002 User exits seem to assist on custom field creations/validations. However, I do see people posting the following BADIs which may be useful.
CO_SRULE_CHECK
PROJECTDEF_UPDATE
WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE (which you already tried)
WBS_FIELDS_FOR_ASSET
CO_SRULE_CDOC
Let me know if any of these worked out...
