The SAP documentation "Experience"

Hi everybody,
I have a small problem with Adobe Document Services and so I need to check the configuration that I did.
I decided to use the last available documentation. Here is my experience on this specific case of documentation finding :
I started from the installation guide I used to install my J2EE system :
>SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 Java on Windows:
>MS SQL Server
>Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 1
OK, page 107, I can read :
>Perform manual configuration as described in the Adobe Document Services Configuration
>Guide at:
>http://help.sap.com/nw70 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Library (including Enhancement Package 1) English
>SAP NetWeaver Library Technology Consultantu2019s Guide Business Task Management Adobe Document Services
>(Configuration) Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide
Let's go to help.sap.com
Here I find first a list of important SAP notes.
The first one seems to be a must reading : 894009 Adobe document services: Configuration Guide (NW 7.0)
Let's go to read this note : I have to copy and paste the note number because the HTML link has not yet been invented at help.sap.com !
I now display the note which tells me that :
>The current version of the configuration guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is at the Internet address >http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe. Choose Installation & Configuration -> SAP Interactive Forms - Configuration Guides.
>We recommend you always use the newest version.
OK, let's go to www.sdn.sap.com
Of course the screens have changed since the note was written and I have to find by myself that the configuration guide is here :
System Administration --> ADS Configuration
When I click on ADS Configuration, I'm back at the help.sap.com page where I came from !
On this page I can read :
>Check the newest printable version of this Configuration Guide in the SAP Service Marketplace, available at >http://service.sap.com/adobe ® Media Library  ® Documentation.
Ok, back to service.sap.com where I am welcomed by this great message :
>The content of your interest has been moved to the SAP Developer Network (SDN) Community within the SAP Community >Network.
>Please use the following link to access all information on SDN:
>http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/netweaver 
>Please click to display the information about
>Adobe
>in a separate browser window.
If you click on the Adobe link, you get back to http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe !
So the loop has been looped twice and I have now got a headache !
I think there is a good space for documentation improvements from SAP, don't you think so ?
I propose that if you make the same kind of SAP documentation "experience", you can report here.
Exposing it might be a way to get improvements and to have fun too !  
Cheers,
Olivier

  • How to access JMS queues in the SAP J2EE Engine?

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anybody know how to access the jms dead message queues in the XI J2EE Engine (which is WAS 6.40)?
    I have read in the SAP documentation that we can use some JMS commands from the telnet. I don't know how to use those commands.
    Can anybody provide a step-by-step process to access these queues?
    Thanks
    Kalyan

    1) Open a command prompt
    2) type
    telnet localhost 50008
    where the port is the same as your http, but with 8 as last digit.
    3) Login
    4) Issue the following set of commands
    jump 0
    add jms
    jms list deadmsgs
    Check by man jms other possible options.

  • Sap Documentation and the Spirit of Open Source

    Hi,
    I have noticed that not all of SAP functions have documentation (for example in SAP CRM there are around 80.000 functions and many of them, I dare say most of them, have no documentation and I suppose this is the situation for all SAP solutions).
    I spoke to someone from SAP and I was told that not all of them need to, as they are not supposed to be used by clients. I agree with this and moreover it would be a tedious process for SAP to do it now. But sometimes need arises to use this functions or at least know what they do.
    And the standard search for Functions .....
    One enters "dialog popup" in Short description and he gets nothing (in SAP CRM 3.1 SP06).
    She/he has to enter "dialog Popup" and thus gets the function POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
    It is LUDICROUS ! Need no say more !
    I do have an idea, SAP community could help out.
    If all the functions would be shared among the SAP developers from all over the world – I mean those who would like to participate in this project - all functions will have documentation in less than 1 year.
    Let's take as example - PHP:
    Every function is documented and an example is given.
    Also, developers from all over the world add their own comments for each function.
    There is a .chm help file very easy to search
    Plan:
    There would be one main writer and one main reviewer for a function (I mean one could choose to do 100 functions, other 50, other 30, and so on).
    Also, who wants could add his/hers comments.
    Objective:
    To have a documentation (.chm file) as comprehensive as possible about all the functions in SAP.
    Is this plan feasible ? Are there any volunteers ?
    Mihai

    I can agree on some points but not others.  First, let's agree that dialog popup and popup dialog are two different search strings.  In SQL, this would produce "WHERE description like "%dialog popup%" which is clearly not equivalent to "%popup dialog%".  However, I feel your pain.  While the level of function docs is disappointing, how wonderful that we even have access to them at all!  One of the best parts of SAP is the fact that I don't have to guess "how that works".  I can go look and learn from the master code ... albeit slowly. 
    My understanding of German is non-existent.  Therefore, much of the comments that are available in the functions are lost on me.  That's a shame.  I would like to see an effort to get readable English comments out of these valuable German comments.  That' would take a native speaker's translation vs. a babelfish-like systran.  They just don't cut it.
    Docs:  The level of SAP documentation in general, even for BAPIs, is appalling.  Maybe I just don't know where it is but from what I've seen, even the most complex BAPI docs are not worth the space they take up.
    Case in point: BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.  This is a rather complex BAPI which can create all manner of sales documents.  So let's say I want to build a configured sales order.  Let's hit the BAPI documentation:
    <i>If the item is configurable, you need to enter the configuration data in the ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF and ORDER_CFGS_VALUE tables.</i>
    That's it.  There might be a few more hints down the page but there are no examples, no "here's why you need to stick an A in field XYZ", etc.  This is why I rely on reading code and trying to gets hints from poorly translated German comments.  I generally get an answer but what a time waster that is!  If SAP is claiming that they don't document all functions because they are not "supposed to be used by clients", then how about fully documenting the BAPIs at least?  Those certainly ARE for use by clients.  That's their main purpose.
    As a concept, I agree with you.  How to pull that off?  Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable documenting any function that I've not had 1st hand experience with.  Even still, I've only used about 20% of the sales order BAPI's capability.  While that's 18% better than what SAP gives, I'm not sure I would be willing to take the time to document it given that I'm stretched to the max, in part, due to the lack of function docs!  Catch-22.
    Good luck with the idea.  I'd like to see what other people's comments are.  I'm hoping that I'm missing some key documentation resources.  If nothing else comes from this thread, that would be great.
    Maybe the SDN would provide a place/forum to store documentation that is created?  Not a forum ... more like SAP notes (which can be a helpful source of docs sometimes BTW).
    Thanks.

  • How can I get the "Full cycle SAP project experience"?

    Hi,experts
    I'm a beginner of PI and familar with java,now i have got good acquaintence of PI architecture and familiar with ESR and ID in PI,but now i'm confused with the development aspect of PI expert...one thing is that full cycle sap project experience is a must,but how can i get that while i just always repeating the boring creation of PI objects and do the mapping,routing tasks etc...

    Hi Rajesh,
    If you started working with new implementation project then you will get a chnace to involve in all phases like Blue printing,analysys,realization,development testing.
    Creation of obejcts in ESR or ID its not a big deal,but when you are working with complex landscape then you feel to elanr and many newthing in PI how to achieve the requirement using Writing some good UDF and using node function ...Adapter Modules or JAVA Mapping or XSLT Mappings..and many.
    When you get in to SAP PI project,when you started development first you will start analysing the functional document and then you will start preparing techincal specification,then mapping specification then development,testing..these all tasks happend in pahse by phase.after completion of development then you wl tesing the interfaces ,preparing test cases...
    we can say full lide cycle implemenattion prijects invloves above all tasks.

    Raj

  • Documentation on the SAP FICO testing

    Hi,
    Can any one provide me the Documentation on the SAP FICO testing. please its bit urgent.......
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    The testing can be process testing and integration testing.  There is no documentation as such for the FICO testing.
    In the process testing, you can test each and every transaction within the FICO and in the integration testing you can test the End to End process like Procure to pay, Order to Cash etc.
    It is a good idea to plan the test scenarios that meets the business requirement in the first place.
    Thanks

  • Updating the SAP IDM Provisioning Framework

    HI Laurent,
    I know this has been posted and answered for some time but reading the documentation on how to upgrade the provisioning framework is not really clear to me what will happen and I am hoping you have the experience now to help me (importing the SAP Provisioning Framework.mcc file).
    Reading the documentation it sounds like the whole provisioning framework from SAP should have been disabled and renamed during implementation but all I have done is use the SAP framework and put the custom tasks in a different folder.
    In the identity center I have the provisioning framework folder and underneath I have custom tasks, core and connector folders.  Do you know if I import the new .mcc file will it overwrite my custom tasks folder and effectively delete it?
    Many thanks,
    Andy

    Andy,
    I branched this off as a new question. Take a look at these documents as a start.
    Updating the SAP Provisioning Framework Version 2 - SAP NetWeaver Identity Management Provisioning Framework for SAP Sys…
    https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001230022010E
    However, the basic process is just to import it.  You should make sure that you have backups first.  Note that there are some options when importing that will help you through controlling what gets overwritten.  Best practice is always to make sure that your active provisioning framework is renamed so that when you import the new version it will not cause conflicts.  I've never really had to upgrade my frameworks so hopefully someone out there will have some "hands on" advice to share.

  • Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

    Hi All
    We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
    When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
    We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
    After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
    *Connection failed:
    SQLState:'08001'
    SQl Server error:10060
    [Microsoft][SQL Native Client] TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party didnot properly repsond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

    Hi Eric,
    yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
    we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
    Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
    We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
    I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prabhu Reddy.

  • The chapter about php_db4 in the BDB documentation need to be updated

    Hi all,
    I think the chapter about php_db4 in the BerkeleyDB documentation should be updated.
    The first sentence "A PHP 4 extension for this release of Berkeley DB..." gave me the concept that the extension can be ONLY run with PHP 4. I've got the idea that DBXML's php extension can run with PHP 5, so the BDB's extension should work with PHP 5 too.(Perhaps I'm not clever enough, but it did give me the wrong thought.)
    It's too simple in the documentation to let everyone know how to sovle the problems in compile process(and such subjects are hard to be found through search engines).
    I had compiled BDB 4.5 on my Fedora Core 6. When I make the php_db4, it could not finish normally(with some errors). When I added CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS, it solved - this should be written somewhere in the documentation or at lease in the INSTALL file, right?
    In the INSTALL file, it says "PHP can itself be forced to link against libpthread either by manually editing its build files (which some distributions do), or by building it with --with-experimental-zts". But at least I can't find this option in the configure of PHP 5.2.1. Only an option '--enable-maintainer-zts' can be found, and it is noted as 'for code maintainers only'(so it should not be enabled by end-users with less experience, isn't it?). PHP 5.2.1's TSRM is ptheads-enabled by default, I don't know whether I should follow the note about pthreads or not.
    Anyway, I can use the native API of BerkeleyDB in my php code now. Thanks for the developers! Hope the documentation can be updated with more directives, so the new users of php_db4 can use it more smoothly:-)

    Nothing is further from the truth.  Installing updates does not cause hardware issues or hardware to stop working.  Anyone that tells you otherwise is completely ignorant.
    I (and millions of others) have installed iOS updates with little or no adverse affects.  The vast majority of issues that arise during an iOS update can be rectified with basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide.
    There is no legitimate reason to not update the iOS which adds new features and fixes security issues in iOS.

    Well, there you go.  You need to contact AT&T or get the correct information and go to AT&T's website and request the unlock.
    There are no codes, as you've already found out.
    Once the unlock has been approved, AT&T will email you to let you know it has been processed and that the next step is to restore the device.

    Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
    Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
    OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
    It is quite easy.
    Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
    Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
    In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
    Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
    The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
    Some tips.
    I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
    If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
    Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,
