To include Z_EASYDMS_GETDOCTYPES in R/3 system:

Hi All,
I have installed SAP Easy Document Management 6.0.0.0: SP03 Patch 01..
When I save a new document under SAP easyDMS..I'm not able to assign document type and characteristics to the document..
For this I learnt I should have FM Z_EASYDMS_GETDOCTYPES..
Can any one suggest..is there any note to implement this FM or I should create them manually..and how the document types used in R/3 to be included in the FM..
Thanks in advance..
Murali.

Hi,
I found "settings" instead of "Preferences" when I right click SAP Easy Doc Mgmt...
but I could clk on the button 'RFC Cache' as the same way mentioned..
when I log off and re-enter the SAP Easy Doc Mgmt I get the error pop-up  "Error in rfcCall: CPIC-CALL: 'CMSEND : rc = 25..when I click ok then I get another pop-up 'Error initializing BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST'..when I give ok for that also another pop-up 'Error in rfc call: FU_NOT_FOUND' comes up..
Regards,
Murali.

  • HT4859 Why is not sound recordings included in the back up system, I use them on daily basis?

    Why is not sound recordings included in the back up system, I use them on daily basis?

    HP Backup backs up many folders that are useless, most of your personal files should be in a folder with your old user name in the "Users" folder. This Backup app is also known to be a pain.
    As for why you got the error, which sounds like all files were not extracted, that could be a faulty DVD, something caused a bad write to DVD,etc.
    If you don't see a 'Users' folder, I would probably start by deleting the folder created on Desktop and make a new one either on desktop or in My Documents. Next copy files from each DVD to that new folder. From the folder try running the .EXE file again to see if any better results.
    One other suggestion-go into Control Panel, Folder Options and check to be sure 'Hidden files' are shown.
    If all else fails, install 7Zip and try it to extract the .WIM files.

  • ITunes 10.7 crashes all apps on Mountain Lion including Force Quit. First system wide prob with an apple computer since OSX introduced. Any ideas?

    updated to iTunes 10.7  from app Store last night. After the update, iTunes opens then stalls with the "spinning pizza wheel". Force Quit is unresponsive and will not shut it down. If I then open other applications say Safari for example, the problem migrates over to Safari and it similarly stalls and becomes unresponsive. The only way to solve the problem is to manually shut the computer down. This is the most significant problem I have experienced on an apple computer since OSX was introduced because it impacts on Force Quit which means that you have to shut the whole deal down. There are obvious problems for use of Apple TV and apple store etc. ! I am running mountain lion 10.8.1 on a 27" iMac with 2T Time Capsule connected wirelessly. How do I downgrade iTunes back to 10.6? I had no problems with Mountain Lion or iTunes up to that point.

    this is the exact same problem i've been dealing with for the past 2 days. after i installed itunes 10.7 for my iphone5 it would crash my mbp's lion system wide. i tried every solution i could find on google and i've actually had to reinstall lion & time machine my backups because of it. right now i'm too scared to redownload itunes 10.7. i actually feel like waiting for the "new itunes" that comes out in october.

  • Including System ID in the messaging of the process chain!

    Hi,
    Can any one here tell me ,how to include the System ID ( i mean whether the system is development or production ) in the messaging system of the process chain? i had used email address in the messaging system.
    i had included the message , but do not know how to include some texts or the system id of the respective System in the messaging service!
    problem is i had included messaging system in both the process chains of the dev and production!
    is there anyway for this?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Ravi,
    By default, the system will include in the email a description of the problem, including the system where it was originated.
    Another thing is including the System ID in the subject of the email.
    Are you transporting the Process Chains or just creating them locally?
    If you define the message variants for the Events Error or Success results locally, then you can type directly "DEV", "PROD" or the description you like, in the subject or the body of the message.

    Luis

  • How do I clone a fully operational system that relies on Windows 7 for the underlying operating system?

    I'm a retired IT professional desiring to assist a friend who owns a small business who recently experienced very malicious attacks on her computers from unknown parties operating anonymously on the Internet. Because
    of her lack of preparation for such events, her future ability to continue to conduct her business was seriously threatened. The incident revealed, to my friend, the need to be prepared to deal with spontaneously occurring problems that create suspicious conditions
    that arise with modern computer software before they can be analyzed in a sufficiently comprehensive manner to have an opinion regarding the appropriate course of action for obtaining a permanent remedy. In that, the ability to quickly react on the basis of
    only suspicion is the goal.
    I want to recommend an approach that involves maintaining an offline image of an operational system that is capable of running any of her computers. This image needs to include all of the software required to run
    her business. In that, it is not limited to the operating system. This single image could then be used to restore any computer to a known reliable state should the need arise. This technique will also insure that each computer has sufficiently similar capability
    to allow them to substitute for each other. Insofar as image restoration is itself an operation susceptible to causing unacceptable business delay I'm also recommending that each of the identical computers (i.e., from a hardware perspective) operate in a multi-boot
    environment where a virtually offline backup can be instantiated via a simple reboot (i.e., an operation that all users of the Windows operating systems turn to when strange behavior is first observed). My intention is to limit the cloned system (i.e., partition
    or C: drive) to the operational software. The business data along with storage for temporary data will be isolated on other partitions (i.e, mounted with other drive letters) accessible by each instance of the software eligible for multi-boot operation.
    This kind of operation is something that I know how to setup on older versions of the Windows operating system. However, Microsoft has now dropped support for all of those operating systems and my much more limited
    experience with the currently supported operating systems reveals that changes to the boot process will necessitate making changes to the specific preparations needed to build such an environment.
    Before recommending that my friend replace all of her computers with new ones, that includes paying for new operating system (i.e., Windows) licenses, I need some assurance that the new operating systems are as
    good as the old ones in this respect. These need to be relatively inexpensive desktop computers and we're only talking about a few of them. Let's say fewer than half a dozen. My friend is a sole proprietor and even though her business has become completely
    dependent on what was once called personal computers she must operate on a fairly tight budget. This especially includes the budget for technology.
    The articles I've been able to find on the Microsoft support websites seem to treat multi-boot as a situation where someone is running different versions of possibly difference operating systems whereas my need
    to produce a single image that will both run on multiple computers as well as multiple partitions on the same computer. I'd appreciate finding some technical advice that applies to building such a system using a supported version of Windows.

    I tried the image creation/restoration described by Jared.  I don't think it makes much sense to rely on an operational system to do such a restoration therefore I opted for method 3 which involves using a "System Repair Disk".  My first
    reaction is what a crude tool.  The image creation process had no trouble putting the image on a simple network share.  However, it appeared as though the restoration couldn't even connect with the device.  I then copied the files to a USB drive. 
    In this case the repair disk said it couldn't find the files even though they were there.  It offered no mechanism to even look and see what was there.  It appears as though it will only find the image if it is located in a folder by the certain
    name used on creation and it is in root directory.  Not very handy.
    As ugly as all that was when we finally come to the point of making the restore it looks like the only option is to restore the entire disk, which in my case would mean also restoring both the windows partition and the recovery partition.  This just
    isn't what I want to do.  It is also something I wouldn't even consider doing unless it was the only possible way to recover from a failed hard drive.
    In summary, unless I've completely failed to notice how it works that just isn't going to work.
    I hope there is something better than this.  What about WinPE and ImageX?
    Absent anything useful from Microsoft it will be necessary to try using other software.  Time to try Acronis!  I guess.

  • What is diff b/w Include Structure and Append Structure at Database Level

    Hi Experts,
    Could you please let me know what is the main difference between .Include Structure and .Append Structure at SE11?
    Thanks in advance and for good answer will give good points.
    Sekhar

    Hi,
    1. Append Structures
    Append structures can only be assigned to a single table.
    Append structures are created in the custome rnamespace ( ZZ or YY)
    In case of new versions of the standard table during upgrade, the append structures are automatically appended to the new version of the standard table
    Append structures can not be used with cluster and pool tables
    Append structures are created in transaction SE11. Display the standard table fields and press the Append structure button.
    When you press the button, SAP sugests a name for the new append structure. After you has accepted the name,
    a screen will be shown where you can enter the new fields.
    Remember to activate.
    2. Customizing Includes
    Some of the SAP standard tables contains special include statements called Customizing includes. In contrast to Append structures,
    Note that customizing includes are created by SAP, but the customer supply the fields for the include.
    Customizing includes begin with CI_ and is part of the customer namespace
    One Customizing include can be inserted into more than one table.
    You can find Customizing includes in SE11 under structures.
    Try to take a look at table RKPF which uses the Customizing include CI_COBL (In an IDES system). Next try to add a field to CI_COBL, and activate it. If you go back to table RKPF you will se that your new field has been added.

  • How to set system time from Terminal while booted from 10.6.3 server install disk?

    I'm installing from a 10.6.3 server install disc onto a Mac Mini.  However, the battery on this Mac Mini is pretty much dead, forcing the system time back to 1/1/2001.  Through some research, this has created a problem in that I cannot move beyond the Welcome screen during setup of OS X server.  It looks like the binary has issues with the system time being older. 
    But I'm stuck in that I don't know how to adjust the system time from the Terminal Utility on the boot CD.  Can anyone help? 

    Hey, i just run in to something similar, tonight while trying to fix a computer.
    The user set the time and date on his computer to 1998 and computer locked everything including time and date in system preferences, and his user account basicly making him from administrator to guest. he could not almost any program properly that required administrator privilages.
    to fix this we used this comand in terminal " sudo date 201703162014 "    todays time and date
    20:17 03/16 2014
    we tryed everything and this fixed in 2 seconds
    ps: when you type sudo in terminal it whil give you a warning the improper use of this command is bad.... click continue.otherwhise you will not be able to execute the command.
    thanks again for this post and have a great day

  • [Feature Request] Seperate tab in log window for System.err

    By default, the stack traces of exceptions (and throwables in general) are printed to the System.err stream. So, wouldn't it be useful to include a 2nd tab for System.err messages?
    It could be optional to either include or leave out the System.err output in the System.out tab.
    The whole idea of this 2nd tab is to set it up like the search output tab: a tree-like list which can be expanded to see the stack trace of each exception that occured during runtime. A small parser can parse the stack trace when an exception is printed on the System.err stream and format it.
    If this option would be availble in the debugger only, that would be ok too, I guess. Although, the debugger already has some other means of jumping through code when an exception is thrown (ie, when the debugger 'pauses' runtime).

    I've logged an Enhancement request to improve the handling of System.err messages (2811508). There are ways to enhance the treatment of System.err messages without introducing a new tab, through the use of color, links back to the source code, and collapsing of entire stack traces to a single line (with a button to see the entire trace).
    Thanks!

  • Degraded system performance - possibly caused by external LaCie HD

    I'm stumped over what to do to solve a serious performance problem with my iMac. Here's the setup:
    Prior to today, I've been running:
    An iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 17" (late 2006). The guts of it all OEM: 1 GB (2x512) RAM, 250 GB HD, SuperDrive.
    A 500 GB LaCie USB 2.0 External HD.
    Two external optical drives; one that can read/burn CDs and one that can read//burn DVDs/CDs. Both of these are connected via FireWire
    Operating system: Mac OS 10.4.x
    Network: Wireless Airport on iMac to DLink wireless router to Sympatico DSL. Using OpenDNS
    Over the last few weeks, system performance (and by this, I mean basic tasks like copying a file or selecting a menu option or switching between apps) has degraded to the point where it could take several seconds simply switching from one app to another. No new software or devices were added over this time.
    Running Apple's Hard Disk Utility, I discovered some "Minor" problems on the internal hard drive. I booted up in safe mode, which automatically forces a disk repair, and, upon running disk utility again, the disk appears fine.
    Performance problems persisted.
    I ran disk utility on the external drive. No problems.
    Earlier this week, I decided to upgrade the OS.
    The upgrade took 5+ hours to install. (I'd heard it can take a while but 5 hours seems silly).
    Performance problems persisted.
    Last night, I loaded everything I needed on the internal drive and backed up to the external drive. THen I proceeded to do a clean install of the OS 10.5.6. I ran Software Update to get the latest Java machine and other updates.
    Still got problems. (Copying 2 GB of files I'd backed up on my external drive back to the internal drive took more than 2 hours! via USB 2.0)
    Ran Hard Disk Utility again. Everything's fine. Still have performance problems.
    Shut power down on all external drives and re-booted.
    Ah-ha! Now we're gettin' somewhere. Performance seems normal. System is responding to basic commands in the what seems like a normal way.
    But I need those external drives. First bright idea: Perhaps it's the cheap Dyntech 5-port USB hub that's gumming things up. To test, I disconnected the hub and connected the LaCie external drive directly to the iMac.
    Back to the same old problem.
    Ok -- so it seems pretty clear that the iMac and the LaCie drive, which once got along famously, are now like an old married couple -- grumpy and slow to respond to each other's requests. Again -- neither the LaCie drive nor the iMac internal drive report any problems via Hard Disk Utility. Files are being successfully copied back and forth albeit at a mind-numbingly slow speed. But for all intents and purposes, so long as the iMac is attached to the LaCie drive, it has all the zip and functional usefulness of my old Centris 610.
    Any and all suggestions gratefully welcomed.

    True unless you frequently attach and detach the drive so that indexing never is completed. To see if this may be the case with the drive attached, open Spotlight preferences, click on the Privacy tab, then drag the drive's icon into the list.
    You can also try a few other things, but start by downloading and installing AppleJack - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Read instructions and run the program to do some cleanup. For other maintenance tips see:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    10. MimMac (Commercial)
    11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
    12. Clone X (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • Unresponsive input devices after full system update

    This problem's been going on for a couple of months now. Essentially what happens is that when I perform a normal system update using
    sudo pacman -Syu
    and reboot the computer, it will go through the normal booting process (Everything marked as OK), but when the display manager starts, the resolution is significantly lower (probably 800x600 rather than 1366x768). Another symptom is that the neither the keyboard nor the mouse register any input on the screen. (Pressing the 'lock' keys don't trigger the LED on the keyboard, and the mouse doesn't move on the screen).
    The only way I've been able to remedy this situation is that everytime I perform a system update, I have to load up the Arch boot CD, and pacstrap the root installing.
    I"m not entirely sure which information one would need to diagnose this problem, but I'll include the output from the system update, and the pactrap update;
    System update:

    That was the most recent occurrence, but like I said, it's been occurring for months. I figure it's probably some crazy setting I have in my system. I'll post my mkinitcpio.conf just as a preemptive measure.
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES=""
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
    # wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
    # override the actual binaries included by a given hook
    # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
    FILES=""
    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
    # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
    # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
    # Examples:
    ## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    ## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
    # HOOKS="base"
    ## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
    ## work as a sane default
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
    ## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
    ## No autodetection is done.
    # HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
    ## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
    ## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
    # HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
    ## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
    # HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
    ## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
    # usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"
    # COMPRESSION
    # Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
    # is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
    #COMPRESSION="gzip"
    #COMPRESSION="bzip2"
    #COMPRESSION="lzma"
    #COMPRESSION="xz"
    #COMPRESSION="lzop"
    # COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
    # Additional options for the compressor
    #COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

    Can we take a peek at your /etc/fstab ?
    I think you've the problem I had suspected was going on in that other thread.  I think your boot partition is not mounted on /boot at the time you do the upgrade.  This will cause the new modules to be installed in the libraries.  The new kernel and initrd will be built, and installed to the /boot mount point.  Unfortunately, if the boot partition is not mounted, the files don't replace the old ones and the boot loader uses the stale files the next time you boot.  The old kernel cannot find its modules, because the only ones available belong to the new kernel (you know, the one that was written to what /boot)
    If you can use the keyboard after an upgrade, log in and compare the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux.  The versions had better match.
    Yes, it seems as if you were right. I must have missed that in the thread you posted. My /etc/fstab does not have the boot partition in it, just the root and home (I'm using lvm for both of them)
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information

  • Local logical system is not defined

    Hello
    We are trying to setup a logical system  - created or defined the logical system
    when we try the BD64 it gives out the error "Local Logical system not defined"
    I am using ECC 6 version
    IS there any way to bypass  and do the setup ?

    HI Anil,
    Best Methodology for creating a RFC Destination that also includes setting up <b>Logical System</b> is:
    <b>Use Transaction -> SALE /b]
    1) <b>Define Logical system :</b>
    Select Idoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Basic Setting -> Logical System -> Define Logical System
    <b>
    2) Assign Client to Logical system:</b>
    Select Idoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Basic Setting -> Logical System -> Assign Logical System to Client
    <b>3) Create RFC Destination: T-CODE (SM59)</b>
    Select Idoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Basic Setting -> Communication -> Create Rfc Connection
    Follow steps in sequence. Hope it answers every thing.
    Cheers,
