Use of Discovery System :question from a vendors perspective

Hi all
I have a question regarding Discovery System(DS) from a vendors perspective.
what can client actually do with the DS as soon as they buy it, beside using the demo scenario?
Going through the demo if the client decides to use Discovery system, What sorts of works are necessary for fitting the DS and replacing the existing system? Lets us suppose that the client is previously using SAP software(R/3), in this case how he can start using the DS?
Does he have to set a project, the size that of while implementing R/3, and use a great deal of resource for doing the fitting work, the add-ons and testing?
I am just curious about the approximate cost of the implementation and how the client can be persuaded for the ROI on DS.
I am really looking forward to hearing from you.
thanks in advance

Hi Sudeep,
to your questions:
- planning migrations
You can evaluate what you will get (technically and functionally) after a migration by looking at the Discovery System already in advance. Customers use that option to shortlist and prioritize new stuff to implement after a migration.
- evaluate compliance tools
Almost the same as above with the difference in the tools/topics. Check out on the DS what you will get in the area of compliance tools without the need for a dedicated project/system.
- simulate business processes
Use the modeling and composition tools to develop new variations of business processes to better suite the needs of your business.
POC's = proof of concepts
Hope that helps,

Use of Discovery System

I am interested in getting the Discovery system. I want to use it as a means of exploring the SAP functionality for my organization. We are a cargo airline and would like to explore if SAP is a good fit for our Aircraft Maninenace, repair and Overhaul module (MRO) as well scenarios in Finace , SD and MM.
I am not interested in learning about SOA except as a by product, but to evaluate the functionality of the different modules like GRC, Solution Manager and XI.
Is it possible to configure things given I have the proper SAP license ? What kind of a license would I need ?
Information is difficult to come by even from HP itself or SAp.
Please respond.

Hi Anju,
In general: Of course you can use the Discovery system to evaluate whatever software or functionality is installed on the box. So this is definitely true for the ERP modules, GRC, Solution Manager and XI as mentioned below. The DS comes with full administrative rights making it possible for you to configure anything you want (having a backup in place is advised).
Licensing:
You need to have an SAP ERP or SAP Business Suite license in place to activate the Discovery system. This will give you the chance to evaluate the software and components on the system for a maximum of up-to 6 month (for those components you don't have licensed yet). However customer specific licensing is somewhat unique. Therefore it is advised to contact your SAP account manger or sales representative to find out about your specific situation in detail.
Hope that helps,

How can we use two Discovery Systems in same network

Hi Experts,
I have two discovery systems with me and both of them have same SID and host name. As per the Discovery Systems configuration document we should not change any settings.
Now I have a requirement like use one discovery system for R3 & BW and the other one for XI, EP and AII.
Could any one tell the best approach to get it done?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Siva

Hi Siva,
the blog you found was created based on version 2 of the SAP Discovery system.
For version 3 there is the option to adjust the host name according to your needs during the system set-up. You can read the details in the [Quick Guide|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/801dd54d-dd37-2a10-eca7-94bce2de28bc].

Hi,
We have done a full windows backup including system state and registry of SOA Discovery system.
Before the backup we stopped SAP, MDM and SQL servers.

Normally at the end of the restore we the same system as before.
Did someone already done that before ?

Thanks you for your help.

SAP GRC & Discovery Systems

We are a start up company focused on GRC solutions, and planning to have Discovery system for Experimenting, Internal training and working on different client scenarios before implementation at the thier site. regarding the same we have following doubts:
Can we do mock installation of GRC components in Discovery system for the purpose of internal training?
Can we use the Discovery system for demo/training to other parties?
Regards,
Krishna Mohan

The Discovery system comes preinstalled with GRC product like RAR (Compliance calibrator) but the version is the old one at 5.1, meaning you still need to upgrade it. it is a full fledge application in itself.

Activate IS Automotive on Discovery System

Since IS Automotive is part of ECC 6.0 is it possible to activate it on the Discovery System? I have an automotive customer that is interested in using the Discovery System to demo IS Automotive.

Hi Daniel,
I believe it is technically possible but you would probably sacrafice a lot of performance. Another java engine and another ABAP engine would need a significant amount of additional memory. However, If you don't run both at the same time you may be ok.
FYI - SAP has not tested this so I cannot garantee it will work.

Export data from discovery system?

Hi all,
I have tested some scenarios on the discovery system, and would like to apply them on our own system.
Now I have the problem that I have no Customers, Products or anything else which for example I need for the service create sales order.
My Question is:
Is it possible to export the data on the discovery system to my system to avoid creating new ones at my system?

Exporting data is not supported in version 7 and in System 9 and above it only exports in a native format that can be used for reloading. The three ways I know of are Report scripts, MDX expressions run from MAxL(or EAS or Smartview) and Star Analytics integration Server.It is a third party tool and I'm not even sure if it works on version 7 ASO cubes.(I'm preetty sure it does)

Discovery System v3 - Installation questions

Hello all,
We have the Discovery Server v3, with ERP and SOL instances. Some small questions regarding installation.
We have a DB size of ~175Gb. Is it normal?
We have a RAM consumption of 11Gb when both systems are started. Is it normal?
In the Visual Admin, Server > Services > Destinations doesn't work (class loading exception). Do you experience the same?
Thanks in advance,
Francois

Hi,
You can access the users+password form of V3 using this link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8065c52a-dc37-2a10-0989-a7d17627e2f2
or by navigating to the "How to setup the Discovery System" page and from there click on the "passwords and logins" link (all the way to the bottom).
Best regards,
Amir

Using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems

hi,
using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems,
then what is diff b/w ALE and EDI

Hello KALYAN KUMAR,
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
1.You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems.
2.ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
3.ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
1.You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor).
2. The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12).
3. This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message
I hope u understands the difference:)

Why can't I post a question from my new system?

Hello All:
I was just trying to post a question from my new mbp but it wouldn't allow me to do anything. It continually gave me a message highlighted in 'red' that i was;t allowed to modify or post anything. I've been asking questions for quite a while and have never seen this. I also happen to have my older bmp, also logged onto the 'Apple Discussions' site, open beside me. Can anyone explain this to me please? BTW, my new system obviously has Yosemite on it while my older bmp has Lion. Thanks in advance, to all those who respond.

ChitlinsCC, I'm adding your reloaders to my article on how to make using ASC easier.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
     Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
        Start an auto reloader.
Safari = SafariTabReloader
Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
Reply technique
Open a new browser window. Pick some discussion. Open a reply window. As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in. The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
         turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
For FireFox
I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
For Safari
"ASCPowerTools is a Safari Extension designed to give more control"
http://www.etresoft.com/ascpowertools
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

Using System Drive from PPC G5 as Internal Storage on my new Mac Pro

Hi all,
So, bad news is my old PPC G5 finally died on me last week, after years of faithful service. Since my Apple Care Protection Plan ran out years ago, and the cost to replace the parts I need are so astronomical, I've decided that it's time for a new machine. Good news is, I ordered my new Mac Pro on Monday! Here's my question:
I installed an additional internal hard drive in my PPC G5, and I want to utilize that drive, as well as the system drive from my PPC in my Mac Pro. What is the procedure for doing this, besides physically transferring the drives? Specifically, how do I use my old 250GB system drive from my PPC as extra storage in my Mac Pro?
Any help would be appreciated, and if I'm not being entirely clear with my question, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hatter's remark about coolant leak repairs being handled out of warranty is valid, though it may be too late for you if you have already purchased your MacPro. I, for one, can vouch that Apple is being responsive to the needs of those of us that bought top of the line G5's less than 4 years ago. Your dual 2.7 should have lasted longer. My dual 2.5 began to display symptoms consistent with coolant leak problems about three months ago. Even though Apple confirmed that it was not a coolant leak they still offered do the repair on their dime because of tardiness in repair and a failure to communicate with in a timely manner with me (what was estimated at 7-10 days took a month to resolve). When they were unable to fix my machine, they offered me a brand new 2.8 8-core Mac Pro in exchange! Always call and get a case number or take the machine into the Apple store to have them determine what the real issue is before giving up your hard earned dollars.

... upgrade Discovery system from V2 to V3 possible ??

Hi
Is it possible and feasible to upgrade Discovery System from V2 to V3?
If possible, is there any additional license or costs involved with the upgrade?
Cheers

Hi,
Since the Discovery system is an appliance - bundled hardware + software + content, it is not possible to upgrade from v2 to v3.0.
You are free to upgrade your v2.0 system's SAP components by downloading patches and service packs from the SAP Service MarketPlace and applying them to the V2 system if your main intention is to patch the V2 to a higher software release.
The only way to get the Discovery system V3 is to purchase it from one of the vendors and would include hardware , software and content.
Please check the SDN pages for how to order a new system:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/discoverysystem
Take a look at this [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414700)ID0712810550DB00622245933431315245End?blog=/pub/wlg/7914] that includes a detailed list on the differences between the Discovery system V2 and V3

Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard? Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?
