Use of activating SAP default ATM window in DBACOCKPIT

Hi Friends, As part of Glive implementation SAP asking us The SAP default ATM window is not configured/active. What is the use of ATM Configuration and Diagnostics. What are advantages of we activating SAP default ATM window using DBACOCKPIT. Please suggest. Regards, Karthik.

Hi Karthik,
Refer to this doc, ATM stands for Automatic table maintenance and as per below is explained a bit better. The attachment is the scn doc desbribing it in much more detail and should address all your queries.
DBA Cockpit: Automatic Table Maintenance for Sybase ASE
1835880 SYB: How to diagnose issues with Sybase ASE Job Scheduler, ATM, or Scheduled Jobs
The advantages as stated by document is automatic maintenance of objects as required to reduce workload of DBA and improve performance /DB of stability as well. It does lightweight scheduled maintenance activities. My wording to describe it may not be entirely correct you should read the DOC it is very helpful.
Kind Regards,
Johan

  • Activating SAP Default indexes

    Hi,
    After a fresh SAP installation, our ABAP team request to activate an index on table VBFA
    On these fields ;
    MANDT
    VBELN
    POSNN
    There is a default index on that VBFA table already. (switched off)
    But. There it shows as  "Index does not exist in database system ORACLE"
    (check the attached screenshots)
    When trying to activate this index, it gives some warnings and activation is not possible...
    How to activate this index?
    Why these indexes are not activate automatically after the installation?

  • Reaching free space with SAP DB on Windows

    Hi!
    I am using SOLMAN with SAP DB on Windows and (funnily enough) reaching the free space on my computer (no arching mode is activated).
    Can some one tell me how to proceed in this case (can I put away the log files or the data files that are not being used). How can I extend the free space without much effort?
    Is there some useful transactions (like db02 in oracle) to manage the SAP DB?
    Thank you!
    regards

    Hello Axel,
    -> You wrote:
    "can I put away the log files or the data files that are not being used"
    What do you mean by that?
    -> If you think that you oversize the data & log area during the creation of the database, please let me know the configuration of the data & log volume in the database, provide the output of the command 'param_getvolsall'. What is the filling of the data & log area? What is the version of your database?
    -> Please review the SAP note: 869267 FAQ: MaxDB LOG area

    -> As of 7.6 version you could use 'db_deletevolume' command, you could find details in MAXDB library to delete the datavolume for the reducing size of the dataarea, if the size of the data area was oversized.
       To reduce size of the log area < or shrink the log area > and reduce the size of the data area in the earlier releases of the database => use the Homogeneous system copy with MaxDB using backup/restore procedure < SAP Note No. 129352 >.

  • Use of active directory userid/password authentication instead of SAP R/3 User/Password for digital signature?

    Dear all,
    I am looking to setup the use of active directory userid/password authentication instead of SAP R/3 User/Password for digital signature. We SSO to the backened ABAP AS via an SAP NW Portal to which SPNEgo kerberos authentication is setup. Today we specify R3 user id/password to digitally approvae a lot release. The idea is to have users maintain one AD password and don't have to remember the R/3 password anymore and also our Security team to avoid password maintenance.
    I know there are 3 options for digital signature and
    System signature with authorization by user ID and password (We use this currently)
    Digital User signature with verification - (We would like to use this with AD userid/password, so the system still ask the users their AD userid/password for the authentication when they try to "sign" a document.)
    User signature without verification
    Do you think there is a way to configure the system in order to ask and check the active directory userid/password instead of SAP R/3 password? Where can I found documentation about it ?
    I have several different versions of AS ABAP starting from NW 7.02 to NW 7.31.
    My active directory is based on Windows 2008.
    Thanks in advance!!
    Dhee

    Actually enabling Kerberos for SSO purposes and enabling Kerberos for digital signatures are two different topics although the latter is because of the former. I'm interested in the topic as well and I'm currently looking at different options. SAP provides a BAdI for the digital signature API which can be used for external authentication but they do not provide the solution to invoke Kerberos authentication based on username and password. SAP provides a semi solution with NWSSO 2.0 SP2 which works only on Windows with classic dynpros meaning SAP GUI for Windows is assumed. The solution is based on an ActiveX component which does the actual Kerberos authentication using the Secure Login Client which is part of the NWSSO suite. Extending that implementation to non-Windows and non-GUI applications would require some sort of web enabled service that could be used to authenticate the user with username and password. In case authentication is successful, a Kerberos token would be returned to SAP which would then be validated. All the required pieces are there since SAP has Kerberos support now in both stacks of the NetWeaver Application Server, some bits are still missing though which leaves customers looking at 3rd party or custom solutions.

  • How to use the activation library on SAP J2EE Engine

    Hi my friends:
       This post is referent to a note and their solution, but the solution is not clearly:
    Symptom:
    One wants to use the activation library provided together with the j2ee engine from an own library.
    Reason and Prerequisites:
    One wants to use the activation library from an own library but a ClassNotFound Exception or a NoClassDefFoundError keeps showing up.
    Solution:
    For J2EE Engine 6.30/6.40:
    To avoid the above mentioned exceptions one has to specify circular references between the activation library and the specific resource. When the engine's classloading system sees such references it creates a common loader for these resources and avoids the issue.
    Some one knows how to do circular references in my program????,
    i can use web applications or web dynpro with SAP Developer Studio Kit.

  • Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

    We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
    For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

    Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
    Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
    Thanks guys,

  • Can a site use cookie info from separate Firefox windows, or just between tabs in the same window?

    Hi!
    I apologize for how crazy my question sounds,, (& for everything that follows), but I'm at a loss as to the correct wording...I hope my explanation will clarify things, at least enough so that someone understands what I'm trying to say! Wish me luck!
    I'm using Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 8.1 & everything is up to date. The most important details for this problem will be my settings & addons for Firefox, so here goes:
    I allow all cookies, but it's set to clear them when Firefox closes.
    I do NOT save any history or passwords & I also have "Click & Clean" enabled, & I use it frequently, even though I don't save any history or anything else, just to add to my security/privacy, (guess I didn't use it often enough, huh?)
    I have the box checked for "Do Not Track", (but I just learned the hard way that even so-called "nice" companies don't honor this request)
    I have "Ghostery" as well as "Google Analytics Opt-out" enabled, (even though I don't use Google for my search engine, nor do I go to a Google site unless it's absolutely necessary, (I read about Google's penchant for following users everywhere in order to get their preferences, so I avoid them if at all possible).
    In other words, I thought I was protected from tracking-related problems, but I need to know if these precautions are effective when using Firefox & having several tabs open...then opening another tab/window...are cookies & any other info "readable", (I don't know what word should be used here), from tab to tab in the same window, (which just happened to me), & is the cookie info readable from window to window? In other words, do I have to completely close out Firefox, delete cookies, then open a brand new window so that any session cookie info has been deleted to protect my browsing info from being accessed?
    I know, I'm STILL not making much sense...here's what happened, (I won't divulge the site that did the 'cookie abuse', though.
    I had several tabs open, as I usually do, because I was gathering info for research on a report I was working on. Suddenly, I remembered I had to order my hubby's birthday gift, so I opened another tab, (in the same window), to my favorite site & started searching for the items I wanted. I found what I was looking for & was getting ready to check out when I noticed something very odd...there were several "suggestions" listed for items I "might be interested in, based on my browsing", but the funny thing was, I didn't search for anything related to these suggested items! Instead, they were related to items in the other tabs I had open. Scary, underhanded stuff, if you ask me! I always knew not to have banking/financial sites open while surfing, but the tabs I had open were from sites where I was getting research info for my report, so no red flags went up when I went to the site to place my order.
    So I guess the question I need answered is...is cookie info accessible only between tabs in the same browser window OR is it even accessible from window to window? Did I make sense yet? I sure hope so, because this incident has me absolutely flapping around like a fish that's just been pulled out of the water & is just left on the deck! This obvious assault on my privacy has hit me like a punch in the stomach, because I thought this site was one I could trust...especially since I had "Do Not Track", "Google Analytics Opt-out" & "Ghostery" enabled!
    I just don't know how to deal with this, but obviously, I need to know the rules so this NEVER happens again. Luckily, there wasn't any finance-related breach, but my sense of trust has taken a BIG blow.
    If this made sense to anyone, please advise me on the rules of 'cookie abuse' so I don't EVER let this happen again!
    Also, is cookie info able to be shared between browsers, e.g. use Firefox for more personal/sensitive browsing & Opera for research activity?
    Any & all advice is desperately needed & gratefully accepted! I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because it really takes the wind out of your trust bubble. I've never been as surprised & disappointed at a company as I am about this. So sad.
    Oh well, learn something new every day...too bad I learned not to trust. :(
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Nuts4Mutts :(
    P.S. If you need anything clarified, just ask

    Cookies are stored in a cookie jar and thus are shared among all open tabs and windows.
    Only all Private Browsing mode tabs/windows use a separate cookie jar that is used for all PB mode tabs.
    Note that session restore stores cookies of open tabs in the sessionstore.js file as part of stored session data.

  • How many tabs can I open at a time when using Firefox 3.0.5 with Windows Xp?

    I tried to open 25 tabs in one window using firefox 3.0.5 with windows xp. It would only let me open 10. Tabs I added after 10 were added, but tabs at the begining were erased. What do I have to do to open all the tabs that I may need without changing the firefox or windows version? Do I need to open a new browser window for every 10 tabs?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Help with using external hard drive to boot windows on PC

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so apologies in advance if not. I've looked around the internet for a good while now, and I haven't found anyone in my exact position.
    My PC's hard drive (running Windows 7) recently died; long story short, I am attempting to reinstall windows. The only other computer I have is this MacBook Pro, on which I have an .iso file of Windows 7. So I want to use my external hard drive (WD 500GB "MyBook") as a boot device so that I can install Windows onto my new internal hard drive.
    The problem I am having is that, well, nothing seems to be working. Every time I try to load the .iso onto my external hard drive and boot my PC with it, either a blank screen appears or it says "missing operating system".
    I have made sure that the BIOS is running the external hard drive as its boot priority.
    I have tried using Disk Utility to partition the external drive, then using 'Restore' to load the .iso onto the partition, to no avail.
    I have tried simply dropping the extracted .iso files onto the hard drive, this doesn't work.
    I have also tried changing the file system of the external hard drive using the 'Erase' feature (NTFS-3G (using an addon), FAT32, exFAT, all of the others), but I notice that whenever I use Restore after doing this, the file system seems to return to Mac OS Extended, which might be why it isn't booting up on my PC. Is there any way I can succesfully partition the external hard drive in a format that will allow Windows 7 to boot (such as NTFS?), and is Disk Utility even the right program to do this?
    If you want any more information from me, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide it - I'm not the most advanced mac user in the world, but I've spent days trying to fix this problem and nothing, no combination of anything, seems to work at all. So any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Here is a quick suggestion for you:
    Download Virtual Box (free PC Emulator for Mac) and install Windows 7 on your Mac (don't worry about activating it yet, as you don't need to keep it more than a few hours).  You can tell Virtual Box to use the ISO file as the DVD drive for your virtual Windows computer, so no need to burn a disk.
    Search Google for creating a bootable USB installer for Windows 7.  I found a link that gave good instructions on how to do this using DiskPart.
    Follow the instructions to make the bootable USB stick for installing Windows 7 using your virtual machine you created above.
    Use the USB stick to install Windows on your new PC.
    Remove the virtual Windows machine from your Mac.
    Remove Virtual Box from your Mac.
    I found a set of instructions and built an installable USB stick last night that worked great for installing Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) onto my older ThinkPad I had sitting at home.  The USB installer also installs in about half the time as a DVD install.  The only reason I have you create the virtual Windows PC is that all of the instructions for makeing the Windows install USB stick are written assuming that you already have access to a running Windows PC.  By doing this install, you have up to 3 days before you would need to activate it and you can build the installer USB stick and remove teh virtual computer long before that.

  • Itunes as default in Windows 8.1

    I got a new keyboard that has a media shortcut button on it. When I am in the "set program access and computer defaults" screen I click on iTunes to be the default media player, it sets it then takes me back to the default program window. If I go back and look, my Itunes setting is removed and changed to use current media player. My default app is set to Itunes but this media keyboard shortcut isn't working.
    What am I doing wrong

    Without knowing more details I'd hazard a guess that this is an inconsistency or incompatibility between Windows and your keyboard, and not in iTunes issue.  Hot keys are programmed to execute a specific function in Windows - in this case to launch iTunes - and there is no direct connection with iTunes itself.  I would check to see if there is a Windows 8.1 specific driver available for the keyboard and see if that resolves the issue.
