Hi,
it will helps hopeful,
Upgradation steps:
1) Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
2) Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
3) Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
4) Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
5) Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
6) Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

BSI Tax Factory Upgrade:HR Support packs

Hi All,
We are starting with upgrade of BSI tax Factory from 8.0 to 9.0. And as per SAP main note '1469858' for upgrade, the support
pack required is 'HRSP61' but we currently have 'HRSP59'. Also, CLC 61 was applied for 2010 year end activities.
So, with CLC 61 present, would it be possible to upgrade to 9.0 without upgrading to HRSP 61 ?
In other words I want to confirm if CLC 61 includes the Tax Factory 9.0 updates.
Thanks,
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
I just updated relevant information for your query in the following thread:

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

Test Plan for Video Conferencing

We are planning to set up an MPLS network exclusively for video conferencing. I need to prepare a test plan for the tests to conduct to check the conferencing performance and related parameters after the implementation.
I am pretty new in Video conferencing. May someone help me to prepare a test plan for this?

Do you have some more details about the equipment and setup you want to test.

Unit test plan for inbound and outbound interfaces

I am trying to create a UNIT TEST PLAN for an interface. In this interface a flat file in IDOC format is picked up from the application server and processed using EDI_DATA_INCOMING for the relevant posting ( example : Sales order creation from a PO IDOC). IF the file is not in IDOC format then it is reformatted to the IDOC format manually.
In second scenario(outbound), after sales order creation or billing document creation, IDOC is created which is read and a custom flat file is created and sent to a middleware.
PLease suggest a unit test plan for these kind of scenarios or send a sample UTP if possible.

PS: points will be awarded to helpful answers.

Unfortunately this isn't possible, the esa has only one routing table. You'll have to add specific routes for your internal networks.
I usually avoid two-armed setups because of this and it gets even worse if you want to use virtual gateways (traffic gets sent via the internal interface with an IP from the external interface)

Upgrading the support package

Dear All,
We are going to upgrade the support package in R/3 side. Our delta records are running everyday.
Kindly let me know what are the precautions to be taken.
Points will be rewarded
Thanks in advance
Sathiya

Hi,
All V3 jobs to be suspended and all the delta records to be fethed into BW side before the SP implementation.
For this the easier and better approach, if you have so many delta packages for different applications to handle, bette create a Info package group and run it just before the SP implementation twice to bring all the records,
Hope this helps

How to generate test data for all the tables in oracle

I am planning to use plsql to generate the test data in all the tables in schema, schema name is given as input parameters, min records in master table, min records in child table. data should be consistent in the columns which are used for constraints i.e. using same column value..
planning to implement something like
execute sp_schema_data_gen (schemaname, minrecinmstrtbl, minrecsforchildtable);
schemaname = owner,
minrecinmstrtbl= minimum records to insert into each parent table,
minrecsforchildtable = minimum records to enter into each child table of a each master table;
all_tables where owner= schemaname;
all_tab_columns and all_constrains - where owner =schemaname;
using dbms_random pkg.
is anyone have better idea to do this.. is this functionality already there in oracle db?

Ah, damorgan, data, test data, metadata and table-driven processes. Love the stuff!
There are two approaches you can take with this. I'll mention both and then ask which
one you think you would find most useful for your requirements.
One approach I would call the generic bottom-up approach which is the one I think you
are referring to.
This system is a generic test data generator. It isn't designed to generate data for any
particular existing table or application but is the general case solution.
Building on damorgan's advice define the basic hierarchy: table collection, tables, data; so start at the data level.
1. Identify/document the data types that you need to support. Start small (NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE) and add as you go along
2. For each data type identify the functionality and attributes that you need. For instance for VARCHAR2
a. min length - the minimum length to generate
b. max length - the maximum length
c. prefix - a prefix for the generated data; e.g. for an address field you might want a 'add1' prefix
d. suffix - a suffix for the generated data; see prefix
e. whether to generate NULLs
3. For NUMBER you will probably want at least precision and scale but might want minimum and maximum values or even min/max precision,
min/max scale.
4. store the attribute combinations in Oracle tables
5. build functionality for each data type that can create the range and type of data that you need. These functions should take parameters that can be used to control the attributes and the amount of data generated.
6. At the table level you will need business rules that control how the different columns of the table relate to each other. For example, for ADDRESS information your business rule might be that ADDRESS1, CITY, STATE, ZIP are required and ADDRESS2 is optional.
7. Add table-level processes, driven by the saved metadata, that can generate data at the record level by leveraging the data type functionality you have built previously.
8. Then add the metadata, business rules and functionality to control the TABLE-TO-TABLE relationships; that is, the data model. You need the same DETPNO values in the SCOTT.EMP table that exist in the SCOTT.DEPT table.
The second approach I have used more often. I would it call the top-down approach and I use
it when test data is needed for an existing system. The main use case here is to avoid
having to copy production data to QA, TEST or DEV environments.
QA people want to test with data that they are familiar with: names, companies, code values.
I've found they aren't often fond of random character strings for names of things.
The second approach I use for mature systems where there is already plenty of data to choose from.
It involves selecting subsets of data from each of the existing tables and saving that data in a
set of test tables. This data can then be used for regression testing and for automated unit testing of
existing functionality and functionality that is being developed.
QA can use data they are already familiar with and can test the application (GUI?) interface on that
data to see if they get the expected changes.
For each table to be tested (e.g. DEPT) I create two test system tables. A BEFORE table and an EXPECTED table.
1. DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     This table has all EMP table columns and a TEST_CASE column.
     It holds EMP-image rows for each test case that show the row as it should look BEFORE the
     test for that test case is performed.
     CREATE TABLE DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     TESTCASE NUMBER,
     DEPTNO NUMBER(2),
     DNAME VARCHAR2(14 BYTE),
     LOC VARCHAR2(13 BYTE)
2. DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED
     This table also has all EMP table columns and a TEST_CASE column.
     It holds EMP-image rows for each test case that show the row as it should look AFTER the
     test for that test case is performed.
Each of these tables are a mirror image of the actual application table with one new column
added that contains a value representing the TESTCASE_NUMBER.
To create test case #3 identify or create the DEPT records you want to use for test case #3.
Insert these records into DEPT_TEST_BEFORE:
     INSERT INTO DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     SELECT 3, D.* FROM DEPT D where DEPNO = 20
Insert records for test case #3 into DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED that show the rows as they should
look after test #3 is run. For example, if test #3 creates one new record add all the
records fro the BEFORE data set and add a new one for the new record.
When you want to run TESTCASE_ONE the process is basically (ignore for this illustration that
there is a foreign key betwee DEPT and EMP):
1. delete the records from SCOTT.DEPT that correspond to test case #3 DEPT records.
          DELETE FROM DEPT
          WHERE DEPTNO IN (SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT_TEST_BEFORE WHERE TESTCASE = 3);
2. insert the test data set records for SCOTT.DEPT for test case #3.
          INSERT INTO DEPT
          SELECT DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC FROM DEPT_TEST_BEFORE WHERE TESTCASE = 3;
3 perform the test.
4. compare the actual results with the expected results.
     This is done by a function that compares the records in DEPT with the records
     in DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED for test #3.
     I usually store these results in yet another table or just report them out.
5. Report out the differences.
This second approach uses data the users (QA) are already familiar with, is scaleable and
is easy to add new data that meets business requirements.
It is also easy to automatically generate the necessary tables and test setup/breakdown
using a table-driven metadata approach. Adding a new test table is as easy as calling
a stored procedure; the procedure can generate the DDL or create the actual tables needed
for the BEFORE and AFTER snapshots.
The main disadvantage is that existing data will almost never cover the corner cases.
But you can add data for these. By corner cases I mean data that defines the limits
for a data type: a VARCHAR2(30) name field should have at least one test record that
has a name that is 30 characters long.
Which of these approaches makes the most sense for you?

Project plan for upgrading CRM7.0 to EHP3

Dear Expert,
Currently we are preparing to help customer upgrade their CRM7.0 to EHP3,
and I am thinking the necessary steps for this upgrade project.
What in my mind currently are:
Basis team upgrade the system
ABAPer help to check the impact caused by upgrade and adopt code if
necessary
Function consultant to test all the as-is business scenarios to make sure
everything works fine
Is there anything else we need to do?
Thanks a lot for your suggestions in advance!
Regards
Hedy

You should first check PAM whether the OS and DB are supported for the target release. The upgrade guide speaks about the preparation tasks and also about the follow activities for the Middleware. They basically come under the BASIS scope (Technical Upgrade). The best would be build a sandbox by copying the existing production and upgrade the sandbox system first and if it is convincing for the business then upgrade the whole landscape.

I plan to upgrade the SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition in our internal web server to 2005 SP4, the Reporting server database is hosted in another sql server in sql server 2005 SP4. Do I need to do anything on the reporting server database side?

My question is what the steps do I need to take to upgrade SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4. The web server that host the SSRS is in 2005 SP2, and the OS is in window 2003.
Our SSRS report server and report server database are in different servers. The SSRS in the web server is in 2005 SP2 enterprise edition, the report server database is in sql server 2005 SP4 enterprise edition.
To upgrade the SSRS in web server from 2005 sp2 to sp4, do I need to backup/restore the encryption key? Nothing will be changed in the report server database. We will still pointing to the same database in the current server, all
I wanted to do is performing a inplace upgrade of SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.
Any response will be greate appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Lihui Chen,
According to your description, you want to install the Services Pack 4 for SQL Server. Right?
In SQL Server, Services Packs are used for fixing issues of current version product. It's not an Upgrade, you don't have to backup/restore your encryption key. You just need to download the Service Pack 4 on:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM . Please make sure you have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server 2005 SP4. For more information, see links below:
How to obtain the latest service pack for SQL Server 2005

Short dumps in every transaction during the Support pack import

I am in the middle of applying support packs SP12 on NetWeaver 7.0. In SPAM, during the import, I received short dumps. I get short dump for all transactions i excute now. I am unable to go to SPAM to continue the SPAM, all I get short dumps. This is our new training system that we are building. I had same issues before, and I got help from SAP for this issue, where they suggested tp command wiht lots of options to run at the OS level. Since I moved company I am not able access the same ticket. Do anyone of you guys know the OS tp command to continue the SPAM import phase?
Please and thanks
Kumar

Hi,
SAP does not recommend to run SP's at OS level. Most of time when u r running SAP_BASIS , u will receive ABAP dumps. then option is to run SP at using tp command & you have to analyze many things before running this command.
