Two SAP systems, same smartform, different print outputs

We have two SAP systems, because of the different business areas that our company has.
We develop a smartform with a custom style which has Gill Sans MT as default font. The smartform is printed directly into PDF format.
On system A on all environments it works fine and we transported it to system B.
On system B the output on PDF format comes in bold, all the characters are bold. This happens on all environments. On preview we don't see bold font but the spacing between characters is larger than expected (for example, a date is printed in two lines of a cell).
I've checked the settings on SE73 and they are the same on both systems.
I've also created a second style were I've taken out all bold settings. On system A, the smartform' style was changed to this new one. The changes were transported to system B, and still it prints all bold.

Thanks for the replys. I think this is an answer to both.
Checked SPAD and differences are:
1. output device LOCL:
System A:
- Device Type: ZSAPWIN
- Host Spool Access Method: F
System B:
- Device Type: SAPWIN
- Host Spool Access Method: G
2. Device Type:
System A:
- has two custom formats (none used on this specific smartform)

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same SID but different instance numbers on one host?

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
If yes, then how?
If no, then why?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
Yes, it is possible. If one is CI (PAS) and the second one is an AS (AAS). In this case there will be only one database.
If you are talking about two separate SAP systems with separate databases (Eg: A BI and an ECC) with the same SID then the problem will be with the database (Eg: Oracle)
The database will be installed under /oracle/SID/112_64 (ORACLE_HOME) unless one database is running on 10 G and in that case the ORACLE_HOME will be /oracle/SID/102_64
The next issue will be with the SAP file systems like /sapmnt/SID
The most important problem will be with the switch to the sidadm and orasid users and the conflicts there. If there is a need to stop one of the SAP systems and if you do a switch to sidadm and issue a stopsap command which system will be stopped ?
These are few of the many problems I can think of.
So if we are talking about two separate systems with their own databases I would rule out the possibility of having two systems with the same SID.

Two SAP systems in the same host "no files processing"

Hello!
I have two SAP Systems installed on the same host.
If I execute redo logs archiving from DB13 I get the error "no files processing", because of I already executed redo logs for the other SAP system on the same host.

Synchronising Two SAP Systems

Hi All,
        I have a generic doubt in synchronising two SAP systems. Say, I have systems A and B connected to 2 different servers respectively. Whenever I create a notification in system A, same should be created in system B, if any changes are made in system A on the same notification, that should also be reflected in system B and vice versa, same is the case for Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders and Maintenance orders.
        I tried with IDOC configuration but I am not sure how the standard IDOC message type gets populated, so I manually populated the segments and tested. That's working fine. But that is not what I want, everything should happen automatically.
       Please give a brief idea on how a standard IDOC gets populated and kindly advise me on what all possible solutions that I could try for.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers,
Vivek.

Hi Madhu,
            Thanks for the response.
I have already tried with ALE processing. But, the data is not getting populated in the standard idoc type. Instead it is getting populated in another idoc type as there is a configuration done already in NACE for that idoc type.
By going through some links from google, I have found that configuration in the NACE transaction should be done for the corresponding output types, with medium as "Distribution (ALE)". But this will not work out for notifications as there is no standard output type for notifications.
Cheers,
Vivek.

Interfacing two SAP systems for data collection

hi,
A scenario. i have two sap systems, one is 4.7 and another is ECC. based on one value in 4.7 i want to collect data from ecc. this has to happen thru XI. so shud i write a function module in ecc which takes as parameter the input value and picks data from database and exports the same and enable this function module as RFC ?
so then from XI this function module can be called with the required input parameter ? can anyone give me the code/steps or how to do this ?
thks

Hello,
why do you want to use XI? I would create a RFC-enabled FM in the ECC system and a RFC destination (transaction SM59) in the 4.7 system (calling the ECC system). Then create a report in the 4.7 system, getting the value and calling the RFC in the ECC system via:
CALL FUNCTION <RFC function> DESTINATION <RFC-destination>

Two SAP system in one host and one oracle software

Hi SAP Gurus,
We want to install Two SAP system (PR1 & PP1) in one host(Prdb05) and one database (Oracle). I dont want to do MCOD.
I am very confuse about what changes i need to make before start the install of PP1. Actually i do not required to install oracle software again. am i correct ?
also i do not required to install oracle client again.am i correct ?
Will it take software automatically ?
In SAP note 350251 they asked me to run ./runinstaller !!! but when we
are not installing software again why we need to to execute that.
Will you please guide us for the same.

Hi , This is what you have to do .
Couple of questions before i answer anything
1) Is your first SAP system installed ?
2) is this High Available system
What Oliver suggested is a valid option on Windows , but not on Unix .
In Unix you might face problems for user,groups because the user for ORACLE_HOME should ideally be ora<SID>, and if you have 2 SID and one ORACLE_HOME , which user will you give ?
So , it is better that you have 2 seperate oracle software installed , 2 seperate ORACLE_HOME , 2 seperate filesystems for oracle software .
Hope you understood , what i am trying to say .
Thanks

Single billing from two SAP systems to common customer

Our company was recently purchased by another. We have common customers. The business would like us to provide single billing to these customer out of the two SAP systems until we can complete the global merge into a single SAP system. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Best regards.

if we want to the combined billing for a customer. there are some restrictions: those are difference between the header data, billing date, payer, country is different we cann't bill in sigle invoice.

Calling Web Services between two SAP systems.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to trigger a web service created in one of the SAP system from a different R/3 system through WDA.
Kindly help me out on what are the configurations to be done like linking two systems (do i require this?) etc..
I have successfully obtained the WSDL file, but could not use it in my second system. It says , it encountered an error. I wonder if i am required to do any configurations.
All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Hi Antony,
By Proxy Object, I meant Class to consume WebService in your second system.
Lemme summarize, what you have done and lemme know where I am wrong.
System A.
You exposed an RFC enabled Func Module or BAPI as a webservice.
After this you have checked it using WSADMIN, and you have tested this as well.
And finally you saved the WSDL file of this Web Service.
System B.
you create a Proxy Object as specified in the link I provided.
you create the RFC destination n did the Logical Port Configuration as per that link.
Now you can use this proxy class any where , in any abap code.
you can use this in WDA as well.
But before doing so, I would suggest to write a test report as suggested in the link and test if your webservice is working fine.
Now please tell me where did you do the things differently.
Regards
Pushkar

RFC connection between two SAP systems (with SAP router)

Hi!
I would like to set up a RFC-connection from SAP Solution Manager to other SAP system.
The network connection between the servers is VPN.
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
my server --> customer
my server --> internal SAP Router server xy (10.101....) --> SAP Router customer 2 (10.1....) --> SAP System customer (134....)
Back-way
SAP Systeme customer --> SAP Router customer (134.1....) --> internal SAP router (212.6....) --> my server
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
something like:
/H/10.101..../S/sapdp99/H/10.1.4..../S/sapdp99/H/134...
Thank you very much!

DB Copy (MSSQL) between two SAP systems with different level and Components

Hi,
we have a SAP system release mysap 2004 SR1 and for "the upgrade project to SAP ECC 6.0 " we installed a new mysap 2004 in a new hardware (sap03) where we have also solution manager running. The new installed Mysap 2004 SR1 is alos running fine in the new hardware.
Now we would like to do DB copy from the old system (sap02) to the the new system sap03 and then we will do the upgrade to SAP ECC 6.0.
After I compared the two systems I have following questions:
1) there are 4 Software Components which are not in the new system (sap03). This are:
PI
FIN_BLERP
BP_INSTRASS
Is this necesary for the DB copy or we do not need this to be able to do the DB copy?
2) The Software Components Level is not the same. Should we have the same level to do the DB Copy?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
HanseAtik

Hi Juan, hi Clas,
just to be clear and to not stuck on the the way:
The systems are as follow:
1) the source system:
                     - Windows Server 2003,
                     - MSSQL Server 2005 with 32 bit.
                     - Mysap 2004 SR1
2) Target system:
                   - Windows Server 2003
                   - MSSQL Server 2005, with 64 bit.
                   - Mysap 2004 SR1 (with less Support package level and no PI, FIN_Basis, BP_BLERP and BP_INTASS coponents)
I hope this will work. could you post the link the DB Copy guide we are talking about?
By this way we will be sure that we are talking about the same DB Copy. Otherwise any mistake in this step will cost more work and time.
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Same specs different print results - hp 130 mac versus PC

ok, the hp tech support has been no help in this all year.
Using the most current drivers, updates, ect.
Using the same printing specs on preview or acrobat (mac) and acrobat (xp, or 2000 on fusion or parallels), I get totally different print quality results. The mac substantially inferior to the pc printing.
I'm really trying to wean myself from using the PC partitions at all, but printing is really bad using the mac side. ALL OTHER FACTORS ARE EQUAL. same paper, same quality specs, just different results. After trying to get HP support to verify, they said it was a leopard issue. I don't recall any issues using the Tiger OS from Macbook, but can't be sure.
Anyone else having print issues with HP from mac to PC?

Which kind of 'HP 130'? In any case, go to <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs> and see if your printer is on the supported list. I've found that those drivers work much better than the ones which ship with the printer, _despite being developed by HP employees_. Why HP doesn't ship those drivers instead of the dreck they do ship is something you'd have to ask them.
These guys <http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3> also have drivers which are better than the ones that ship with HP's printers. Check them out and see if your printer is supported.

Two SAP Systems in MSCS Oracle

Hi,
I would like to install two systems in MSCS Oracle with two nodes. In the first node I'll install a PI, and in the other one SAP Portal. My question is :
How many Oracle Database Engine should I install ? Or I should install one Oracle Database Engine with two oracle instance ?
Thank's in advanced
Francesc

Hi Thomas,
Would appreciate if you clarify following on Windows Server 2003 - Oracle 10g.
1 oracle-homes with 2 database
The 2 databases are not completly idependent because they share 1 oracle-home. if you want to update oracle you need to update both databases at the same time.
What are the points which needs to be taken care before using this option. During installation it prompts for Listener name and port - so should we use the same as used in first SAP instance.
2 oracle-homes with 2 database
The database are completly idependent. You can update both db's separately
Is there any pre and post installation steps before installation of second instance. In this case, listener would also be independent. And owner of SAP instance can start its own SAP instance.
Thanks
Davinder

Same environment - different prints

Hello,
I've got an issue with a print, a CAD drawing where different lines are missing. Funny thing: another installation (same hardware, same adobe version) does it properly. Settings seem to be the same.
It's not a general problem! Other documents work fine. Was hoping that an update (10.1.3 to 11.0.0) might help, but but it didn't.
When I use foxit instead of adobe reader it works!
Now I'm thinking to completely clean the settings to default. How can I do that? Is there an option (preferences) or do I have to delete certain files?
BR
Michael

It shouldn't be a problem to share environment variables between environments.
But, you may run into variable-dependency problems very quickly like, for e.g.,
FORTE_ROOT, FORTE_NS_ADDRESS, FORTE_GC_SPECIAL which you may want to have
different values in each environment. Not to mention that it's even more
confusing when the same application is running in two different environments and
expecting different values in some application-specific variables on the same
machine.
You are better off by launching the environments with two different logins on
the same machine. This would reduce the interdepedencies.
Hope this helps.

Two Magic Mouses, same batteries, different charge percentage

I noticed an annoying issue with a Magic Mouse: it shows a very low charge level of the batteries inside, and it's not just a visualization problem because it actually turns off when the level goes under 20% or so.
The problem is related to this particular Magic Mouse because I tried to put the same battery pack into another Magic Mouse, and this one showed me 100% of battery charge, while the previous one showed 52%.
I tried also to repeat the test with another battery pack, again the faulty Magic Mouse shows 29%, while the other one 99%.
Which could be the cause?

One of the two mice has a faulty charge indicator. It could be either but I suspect the one which turns off at 20%. Mark which batteries are which and go into a professional store that have the facilities (Maplins in the UK) and ask them to do a reading. You can buy a battery charge reader for a few pounds for future use.

Synch of two sap systems separated geographically

Hi Experts,
I wanted your advice on the above..
A user logs into SAP GUI from a remote machine but is unable to reach the server...
What are the possible ways to ensure the business is not affected by this???
Can we have a local instance of sap runnin on the client machine and then synchronise the client and server machines when the network is back online???
are there any othe rways we can accomplish this??
Pls share your thoughts
