Tracing what causes an sap userid to be locked

Hello Folks - often I run into situations (especially when BW is involved) where various users like ALEREMOTE or similar users are getting locked due to too many incorrect logon attempts. If I know from where (could be within the system or some external SAP system) it is that is calling into this system w/ the wrong pwd, I can fix it. But it gets tricky when I don't. I know to scour ST22/SM21 to look for clues but do not think those will give information on which (external) system for sure is calling in and locking the user.
I am aware ST01 gives you opportunity to turn on a trace but not sure that is the best way to solve these situations. Appreciate any tips you can share. Thanks

Hi Ben,
Hope you are doing good.
There is a nice wiki which has the details of the exact steps :

Hope this helps.

What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book?

What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book? And how do I get out of it?

The Finder is just assigning the wrong kind and icon to what I presume are plist files. Often rebuilding the Launch Services will cure this, but sometimes Finder gets a strange bee in its bonnet about some particular combination of characteristics and what they mean, and it can't be dissuaded. Unless you are opening plist files, and get really annoyed when you double click one and Address Book launches and announces "wrong type of file" you can just ignore it. In my own ~/Library/Prefences folder plists are generally labeled correctly, probably because I have them assigned to open with Apple's own Property List Editor. But there are some other preferences that Finder has decided are something altogether different than what they are: WingNuts Prefs and Saved Games are both believed to be Eudora preferences; a whole batch of other prefs from a dozen differenct programs are described as TextWrangler preferences, and there's a another group thought to be Unix Executables. As long as the program they belong to isn't having a problem finding and writing to them, don't worry about it.

How to delete developer's SAP UserID and his SSCR key on SMP?

How to delete developer's SAP UserID and his SSCR key on SMP?
Dear Experts,
Background:
I want to delete developer's SAP UserID and SSCR key in QAS and SMP.
Because as I known, developer's SAP UserID(registered SSCR key) is belonging to the SAP License measurement.
I want to rid of the useless developer's SAP userID and the SSCR key registered on SMP.
====================Here below is the message I created===================
Dear Expert,
One of our developers whom registered SSCR key left, I want to delete
his SAP UserID and his SSCR key.Can you pls tell me how to implement?
What might have happened(expecially the downside) in the corresponding
SAP Client if I delete the developer's SAP UserID and SSCR key? Will
it cause our system screw up?
I've searched the answer on SDN. Someone told me I should carry out the
follow steps below:
(1)Delete the Developer's SSCR key on Service Market Place(SMP).
(2)Cancel all the Jobs defined by the Developer in DEV.
(3)SU01, Replace the value 'Developer' with Blank at the 'LicenceData'
lable.
(4)Delte corresponding item of the Developer in 'DEVACCESS' table.
(5)Lock/Delete the Developer.
Is that right?
Thanks!
Jason
====================Here below is the reply from SAP===================
Dear Customer,
When the SSCR Developer/Object keys are transfered to the system, the
keys are stored in the following tables:
o DEVACCESS : Developer keys
o ADIRACCESS: Object keys
But we do not have any report programs to delete the entries from these
tables. If the customer wants to delete the entries, he has to write a
local program to delete the table entries.
SAP does not recommend ever cleaning out these developer keys, as long
as the user ID is Locked / Deleted, that is the main thing.
please Cancel all the Jobs defined by the Developer in DEV.
So my recommendation to you is to first lock the user id of the user.
Then Assign him a new userid which is not identical to the first one andthen subsequently delete the old userid.
If you have an absolute need to delete a developer key without deleting
a user then the easiest way to do this is probably to
write a report with the instruction :
delete from DEVACCESS where UNAME = ....
Please note :
There is no recording, who did what in the table, that is why SAP strong-ly does not recommend this, and customers will have to take responsibil-ity for this action.
Thanks
====================My question is:===================
Do you have any better suggestions?

Hi,Rahul,Raghunandan
Thank you very much!
Her below were the SAP Support's main suggestions:
1. Lock the user id of the user, then Assign him a new userid which is not identical to the first one and then subsequently delete the old userid.
2. If you have an absolute need to delete a developer key without deleting a user then the easiest way to do this is probably to write a report.
I want to know if I can delete the SSCR key directly via a particular TX? If I can, what is it? (I just want to know. For safety, I think I won't delete the SSCR key directly remained in 'DEVACCESS'.)
Thanks!

Inconsistency in structure u0093KOMPu0094 - what caused this?

Hi All,
We had a problem where all users experienced an ABAP Dump 'DDIC_TYPE_INCONSISTENCY' when running transaction codes such as FB50.
To solve the problem SAP sent the following instructions:
The problem is due to Inconsistency in the Dictionary for the structure
KOMP. If you go to TCode SE11 : KOMP > Display : Utilities > Runtime
Object > Check -> Active runtime object for KOMP is inconsistent.
To solve this error, please activate the structure KOMP manually by
going to tcode SE11 : enter KOMP > Display : Structure Activate
I have asked SAP what exactly caused this problem and they mentioned that a user had changed underlying structure of KOMP named KOMPAKE.
Tcode SE11 is locked in Production to prevent stuff like this from happening and the only tcode the users ran before we experienced the first dump is KE30.
SAP insists that KE30 could not have changed structure. And the only changes made in production were transports imported 5 days before we experienced this problem.
Would anyone have ideas on how I can determine what caused this problem?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Kevin

I looked at the version management for this structure KOMPAKE and the only entry I see is from the same user ID with a data/time stamp right before we experienced the first ABAP Dump, and the entry in the version managements starts like this:
Version(s) in the development database:
activ          X 640
I also noticed the same structure KOMPAKE changed in our QA environment by a user that was testing KE30 a day after we had this problem in Production.
So maybe KOMPAKE was auto-generated by KE30 and somehow failed before it could complete, leaving it in an inactive state?
But if that is the case why were there no problems before, can a structure be auto-generated if its already active?
I also found this System log in SM21 where it shows the first ABAP Dump and the errors before it:
                                                                                Time     Ty. Nr Cl. User         Tcod MNo Text

What causes cellular data usage to decrease if last reset has not changed? I reset every pay period cuz I do not have unlimited and was showing 125 mb sent/1.2g received. Now showing 98mb sent/980mb received. Last reset still shows same

I reset my cellular data usage every month at the beginning of my billing period so that I can keep track of how much data I am using thru out the month. I do not have the unlimited data plan and have gone over a few times. It's usually the last couple days of my billing cycle and I am charged $10 for an extra gig which I barely use 10% of before my usage is restarted for new billing cycle. FYI, they do not carry the remainder of the unused gig that you purchase for $10 which I disagree with. But have accepted. Lol Moving on.
I have two questions. One possibly being answered by the other. 1. Is cellular data used when I sync to iTunes on my home computer to load songs onto my iPhone from my iTunes library(songs that already exist)? 2. What causes the cellular data usage readings in iPhone settings/general/usage/cellular usage to decrease if my last reset has not changed? It is close to end of my billing cycle and I have been keeping close eye. Earlier today it read around 180mb sent/1.2gb received. Now it reads 90mb sent/980 mb recieved. My last reset date reads the same as before. I don't know if my sync and music management had anything to do with the decrease but i didn't notice the decrease until after I had connected to iTunes and loaded music. I should also mention that a 700mb app automatically loaded itself to my phone during the sync process. Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage? Guess turned out to be more than two questions but all related. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. It is information I find valuable. Sorry for the book long question.

Is cellular data used at all during any kind of sync /iPhone/iTunes management? Is the cellular data usage reading under iPhone settings a reliable source to keep track of monthly data usage?
1) No.
2) It does provide an estimated usage, but it's not accurate. For accurate determination, you should check the remaining/used MBs from the carrier (most of the carriers provide this service for free).

What causes a slow mouse/cursor response on a fast machine?

I have a system that has always displayed poor cursor redraw performance with certain adobe applications. All rendering and other effects are fast, but basic mouse selections and button knobs are extremely unresponsive. I have searched and searched and can not seem to find out what causes the mouse cursor speed issues. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse would slow for such basic Interface interactions? Do I need to change my hardware, settings, displays, BIOS, etc?
Any insight into what the mouse redraw/refresh is called in terms of computing would help me search for a solution. And if you have a solution as to why my mouse cursor acts drunk and sluggish when interacting with the Adobe UI's in premiere and after effects and sometimes Photoshop I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thank You. I attached a screen shot of a very basic selection interaction that is dog slow. The selection box redraws like there is a lag in some process associated with the square box overlay.

Your answer is in this part of your specs:

It takes a long time to draw and redraw the pixels to the screen(s) with such large monitors.
We can mitigate this by making some changes in how our UI is drawn to the screen, and such changes are a rather high priority for use to work on for the near future.

First try rebooting ATV and router. Beyond that, it's probably something within the network, typically interference.

What causes "Timed out server" in WL Cluster and a question about session in WL Cluster

          Hi.
          We are using Weblogic 5.1 with SP 8. We have been encountering a problem in our
          clustered environment. We setup our (clustered)environment to have 3 instances(WL1,
          WL2, WL3) of weblogic running in one box. When one instance, let say WL1, responds
          to a request(1st request for a session), the session is binded to that instance
          till the session is terminated/expired. Which means succeeding request for that
          session can only be served by WL1(we tried stopping WL1 but WL2 and WL3 wont accept
          the request--which only causes the page to time out). Shouldnt it behave in such
          a way that other instances can get serve the request(failover)?
          Also, occasionally we encounter "Time out server" in one of the instance of WL.
          When this happens, that instance no longer takes in requests. Would anyone know
          what causes "Time out server"? Does it only happen in clustered environment?
          Need some help ASAP.
          Tnx in adv.


          What do you have in front of WebLogic for Load Balancing?
          What are the IP addresses/hostnames of your three instances? What hostname are
          you using in your http requests? Is your DNS configured to do failover?
          Make sure that you have session replication turned on. See the edocs.bea.com.

What caused the iBook problem?

I'm writing this for my wife, as she's unable to use her iBook for more than a few minutes before it locks up.
I'm serving in the military overseas. My wife and I both use Apple products to chat, email, etc. When I spoke to her yesterday, she was frantic. Her iBook G4 apparently started making a strange noise and then stopped working altogether.
I asked her what she had tried, and she explained that she spent over an hour on the phone with Apple support (I knew AppleCare might come in handy). The first support person she spoke with was, for lack of a better term, an idiot. This was confirmed by the third support person she spoke with. I'll explain later.
The problem was that when she tapped her spacebar to wake up the computer, it didn't wake up completely. She got a grey screen, Apple logo, and that was it. I told her to be patient, that maybe it was reseting after an update (that was before I knew about the 10.4.6 update being available).
Her computer auto-updates every Monday.
I had her turn off the computer by holding down the power button. I then had her disconnect the power cord and remove the battery. I did this on a hunch (just in case the computer had a heat problem). She reconnected the power cord, pressed the power button, and it was back up and running - for about 5 minutes.
Then the computer began making a not-so-funny noise again, and the spinning-beach-ball-of-death reared it's ugly head and wouldn't go away.
The first support person had her use the install/boot disk that came with the computer. That was Panther. We're using Tiger. Bad idea.
When the boot/install disk did not appear to be working, the first support person had her abort, and she was prompted with little phrases like "are you sure you want to quit, doing so now may damage your files" or something like that.
He just had her keep clicking "OK" and eventually got tired of talking to her and told her the hard drive was bad and that she was SOL.
The second support person was apparently too busy to troubleshoot any further and cut directly to "sorry, you're SOL".
The third support person was a little more helpful in that he talked her through connecting the iBook to her G5 PowerPC iMac to attempt pulling the files over to the iMac (she had already resigned herself to the fact that the iBook hard drive was on it's last leg).
She had asked the first support person about doing this and he said that if the files were corrupt on the iBook, they might corrupt the iMac, and that it was a bad idea. Not a very bright guy, considering the files would be copied to a folder, and wouldn't overwrite the iMac's system files.
She started to transfer files and the iBook froze again. She repeated the steps I had her do earlier, managed to get a CD in the the drive, copied a few folder successfully to the CD, checked the CD to see if the files were there (success!) but then the iBook died before she could get the CD out. She's working on holding down the track pad button while rebooting to see if it'll spit out the CD as I type this.
So, in addition to wanting to know how to resolve the problem, I'd like to know what caused it.
What caused so many people to have alleged hard-drive problems within a day or two of each other?
Is this Apple's first virus?
Is this the work of a disgruntled Apple employee working in the updates department?
Is this an evil Apple plot to force us to by MacBook Pro's that won't run Virtual PC?
Will running the 10.4.6 hurt or help the situation?
Why is there such inconsistency in Apple support and aren't they supposed to log their trouble-shooting steps performed thus far?
My wife has been using Mac's for over 9 years. I've only been using them for 2 years. Up until now, I've had a lot of confidence in Apple to be a solid platform, even if not the fastest platform. This experience is not inspiring me to purchase another Apple computer.

Do you have the Tiger Install Disc?
SOL?
Her files probably won't fit on a CD; unless she has less then 700Mb.
1."Is this Apple's first virus?"
Negative
2. "Is this the work of a disgruntled Apple employee working in the updates department?"
No, I don't think so. Apple tries these out to try and avoid problems with their updates. Things happen that are not expected. They wouldn't put anything out unless they thought it was ready.
3. "Is this an evil Apple plot to force us to by MacBook Pro's that won't run Virtual PC?"
First off, look at #1 and think about what platform is notorious for virus problems (Mac has had not had any virus out breaks so far). There have been some "malware/macro" software that was meant to mess with Apple Computers. The most recent that was was over exaggerated was nothing special; MacWorld worked pretty hard to get it to effect their machine. As long as you know what you are downloading and where you are getting it from, you should have no problem.
If you want VPC to work on a MacBook Pro; don't look to Apple. You should talk to Microsoft's Mac Department because Apple announced the Universal Binary switch a long time ago (with developer help) so that software companies could make the switch easier. If anyone is to blame; its Microsoft [they are busy working out their problems with Vista; I am guessing it will be awhile before you see VPC for MBP;) ]
"Will running the 10.4.6 hurt or help the situation?"
My opinion would to just reinstall Mac OS X after backing up the hard drive. That would probably fix your problem. Once OS X is installed; update the software.
"Why is there such inconsistency in Apple support and aren't they supposed to log their trouble-shooting steps performed thus far"
Once in a while Apple's personnel may make human errors. The second one you talked to may have seen her work-up and just reiterated what was said. They have resources we don't, but they can't really go beyond them because they can't see the product, and they are just call support. You may have to send it in.
So in 9 years, you have had this one problem. We can't really tell you what is wrong with the computer because we can't see it ourselves; we can only give suggestions/ideas. Tell them her story, explaining her situation (military etc) and then see if they can help. She may want to bring it into her local Apple Store/Reseller. She can make a reservation on the website or at the store. She can get better feedback in person.
Just some of my thoughts,

If you installed the 64 bit client you might get this error. What OS are you using. PeopleTools version? guessing 8.51 from your other post.

What causes BUFFER GETS and PHYSICAL READS in INSERT operation to be high?

Hi All,
Am performing a huge number of INSERTs to a newly installed Oracle XE 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows. There is no SELECT statement running, but just INSERTs one after the other of 550,000 in count. When I monitor the SESSION I/O from Home > Administration > Database Monitor > Sessions, I see the following stats:
BUFFER GETS = 1,550,560
CONSISTENT GETS = 512,036
PHYSICAL READS = 3,834
BLOCK CHANGES = 1,034,232
The presence of 2 stats confuses. Though the operation is just INSERT in database for this session, why should there be BUFFER GETS of this magnitude and why should there by PHYSICAL READS. Aren't these parameters for read operations? The BLOCK CHANGES value is clear as there are huge writes and the writes change these many blocks. Can any kind soul explain me what causes there parameters to show high value?
The total columns in the display table are as follows (from the link mentioned above)
1. Status
2. SID
3. Database Users
4. Command
5. Time
6. Block Gets
7. Consistent Gets
8. Physical Reads
9. Block Changes
10. Consistent Changes
What does CONSISTENT GETS and CONSISTENT CHANGES mean in a typical INSERT operation? And does someone know which all tables are involved in getting these values?
Thank,
...

The table just have 2 columns, both of which are varchar2 (500). No constraints, no indexes, neither foreign key references are in place. The total size of RAM in system is 1GB, and yes, there are other GUI's going on like Firefox browser, notepad and command terminals.
But, what does these other applications have to do with Oracle BUFFER GETS, PHYSICAL READS etc.? Awaiting your reply.Total RAM is 1GB. If you let XE decide how much RAM is to be allocated to buffers, on startup that needs to be shared with any/all other applications. Let's say that leaves us with, say 400M for the SGA + PGA.
PGA is used for internal stuff, such as sorting, which is also used in determing the layout of secondary facets such as indexes and uniqueness. Total PGA usage varies in size based on the number of connections and required operations.
And then there's the SGA. That needs to cover the space requirement for the data dictionary, any/all stored procedures and SQL statements being run, user security and so on. As well as the buffer blocks which represent the tablespace of the database. Since it is rare that the entire tablespace will fit into memory, stuff needs to be swapped in and out.
So - put too much space pressure on the poor operating system before starting the database, and the SGA may be squeezed. Put that space pressure on the system and you may enbd up with swapping or paging.
This is one of the reasons Oracle professionals will argue for dedicated machines to handle Oracle software.
