TUT5124 Updating to GW2014 Convert Ext.Entities to Users

Hi all,
my customer converted already some time ago all eDirectory users to external entities as a preparation to be able to run his GroupWise system without eDirectory with the actual GW12.03 patch level
Now we have this recommendation in the 3rd slide of the TUT5124 presentation of the BS2014 where it is recommended to convert the external entities to eDirectory users as preparation step for the upgrade to GW2014.
Do we have some kind of technical background information why this step is required?
The customer reported that he was able to associate the external entity to the active directory user without problems, without eDirectory user.
Please advice...
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Stefano

  • ABAP code in update rules to convert the date

    Hi,
    Could any one send me the ABAP code that is written in the update rules to convert the date (DD/MM/YYYY  -- lenght 10) to YYYYMMDD ---  length 8  format.
    Also please let me know where I should write this code; while creating update rules or while creating infosource.
    Thanks,

    Hi Bharath,
    Hi Bharath,
    I suggest you do the conversion of dates in the transfer rules. Here is the correct code you need:
    * Assuming the source data field is called MYDATE
    * Place the ff. in the routine in the transfer rules:
    concatenate tran_structure-mydate+6(4) tran_structure-mydate+3(2) tran_structure-mydate(2) into result.
    replace MYDATE with the name of the source field (10 chars) in the transfer structure. Hope this helps.

    I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

    You can either upgrade to Lightroom 5.4 or later, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 to convert your RAW photos to DNG, which then will import into Lightroom 4.

  • Why parser convert escape entities automatically?

    Hi,
    I'm parsing XML with JDK 1.4.2 + SAX(Crimson).
    I found that parser converts some of escape entities, like ">", or "<", automatically.
    I made a simple SAX application to show the trouble.
    The full codes are the followings,
    import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
    import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
    import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
    public class SimpeXmlHandler extends DefaultHandler {
         private StringBuffer str = null;
         public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,
                   String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
              str = new StringBuffer();
         public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName)
                   throws SAXException {
              if (str != null) {
                   if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("tag")) {
                        System.out.println("tag=" + str.toString().trim());
         public void characters(char[] chars, int start, int length)
                   throws SAXException {
              str.append(chars, start, length);
    public class SimpleXmlTest {
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
              SimpeXmlHandler handler = new SimpeXmlHandler();
              SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
              factory.setValidating(false);
              SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
              XMLReader xmlReader = parser.getXMLReader();
              xmlReader.setContentHandler(handler);
              InputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File("sample.xml"));
              InputSource source = new InputSource(in);
              xmlReader.parse(source);
    }The XML sample is,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <root>
         <tag>a&gt;b</tag>
    </root>
    After run SimpleXmlTest, the output was,
    tag=a>b
    The result isn't my want.
    I don't want the parser converts the chars.
    How to do?
    P.S.
    I also tried with DOM(Dom4J), it didn't work, too.
    Thanks!
    a cup of Java, cheers!
    Sha Jiang

    The XML parser will convert all entities before the data is returned (to the program) either as sax events or as DOM nodes.
    Also an XML writer will (normally) convert all characters that would result in not well-formed XML back into entities.
    So, yes this behaviour cannot be cancelled and yes this behaviour should make it actually easier to work with XML.

    I bought my iMac from someone. Everything was changed over to my name however when I try to update programs it only shows the old users apple ID and I can't update. How do I change this so I can update the applications and have everything fully under me?

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • Convert system time into User local time.

    Hi,
    How to convert System time into User Local time.
    Are there any FMs available.
    Regards,
    Kiran

    hi,
    There is just one simple funda behind the Date and time logic in SAP.
    -> It is absolutely useless to store Date and time directly in DB. Why ?
    Because 00:00 a.m in London could mean 05:30 in India !! So If I (in India) store a Date 1st Feb 2008 , 10:00 a.m .. This time for a person in London could be invalid.. because he is behind your time zone..
    So the solution is to store the date/times in Timestamps format. Taking the above example.. 1st Feb 2008, 10:00 a.m (in India) will be stored as 20080201043000.
    This time if seen in German Time zone will look as : 1st Feb 2008, 05:30 a.m.
    Simple right
    -> In India we store date as DD.MM.YYYY while in other countries they store it as MM.DD.YYYY.
    The separator could be . or - or / .
    The date format is user dependent. I might prefer to store it as DD.MM.YYYY and you might want to store it as MM-DD-YYYY.
    System does not bother what your format is. It always stores in YYYYMMDD (8 Char)
    On screens if you want to display Date then it must always be shown in that users format who is seeing it. How to get this done ?
    DATA : lv_date(10) type c.
    write sy-datum into lv_date.
    So in LV_DATE variable the date will be stores in the users format.
    Simple right
    There are function modules that do the same. But normally we should avoid use of FM to make code simpler, short and easy... no complications at all ..
    You can use system variables sy-datlo (Local Date for Current User) and sy-timlo ( Local Time of Current User ).
    You can also use GET TIME statement.

  • Update processes are occupied fully by one user ID

    Dears,
    The update processes are occupied fully in two SAP Instances by one user ID, this happened for the second time due to the same user and same transaction,
    it caused some IDOC generated very very slowly, 
    actually there are still some free update processes in the other two instances, but why IDOC processing update cannot assign to the free update processes?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi Divyanshu,
    There is no any deadlocks in this system when issue happened.
    only two dialog instance's update were all occupied by the same user and same transaction.
    Users replied he just do the same operation as normal.
    Abaper also analized the trace log and think it's normal.
    But now almost everyday some user's transaction will occupied many update work processes,
    then it will cause other user's update request always waitting in the system, it impacted seriously for other update business, the system's running speed is also normal when one user's transaction occupied many update work processes and running about 1 hours.
    So what any other logs can we checked for this issue ?
    Thanks,
    Michael

  • Upgrade impact of converted Legal Entities

    Customer: Aviva
    Sr 3-2921431541
    Aviva has a requirement to rationalise the number of Legal Entities and on the day that some of these Legal Entities are no longer valid transactions in the sub-ledgers under the old Legal Entities need to be converted to the new Legal Entities in the GL.
    An option that is being considered is that IDT is used as part of the Sub-Ledger (AP & AR) Transfer process to the GL. When the sub-ledger transactions are transferred to the GL Interface Table the Legal Entity (Segment 1 - a Balancing Segment) will be converted from the old Legal Entitiy to the new Legal Entity using IDT. The Request ID may also need to be blanked to allow this to happen.
    Ratification Required in this context
    Will the difference in LE between sub-ledger and GL impact any data migration process used when upgrading from R11i to R12?
    Thanks
    Hans

    Hi Hans
    I see following issues from SLA perspective.You might take opinion from GL/Legal entity team/AP for unseen repercussions from their end
    1) Since subledgers are not updated with new entity id in 11i,reconciliation between SLA trial balance report and GL balances in R12 would not be easy as sublegders would migrate data with old entity id in SLA tables.
    Customer would have to take care of discounting old entities while reconciliing.
    2) Since reports are some times run with account flexfield parameter ,a report with same flexfiled parameter in SLA would not return same data in GL.
    For ex GL account analysis 180 char would show different data from SLA Account analysis report.
    Point 1 and 2 are usually used by customer to ensure successful upgrade happened but in this scenario actual issue would be covered by legal entity mismatch.
    3) I assume that if legal entity is obselete corresponding bsv would also be disabled.In that situation subledgers like AP which use businessflow feature would be affected i.e. when 11i invoice with old bsv is paid in R12 ,payment would not account as liability line of payment would be invalid as liability ccid is copied from that of Invoice.Same issue can happen with Accounting reversal feature which is used both by AP/AR.
    If old bsv is still valid even then unnecessary balancing lines/intercompany lines could be generated.Customer should think about defining alternate ccids.
    However best solution could be to ensure that subledgers prior to upgrade are corrected for Bsvs such that discrepany between Subledgers and GL is resolved prior to upgrade.
    Thanks
    Preeti
