Using MaxDB database manager via SAP::DBTech::dbm Perl module

Hi,
we would like to use the SAP::DBTech::dbm module to access the MaxDB database manager with perl.
The MaxDB 7.7 doc states that the module is a component of the MaxDb software but I cannot find the perl includes.
Does anybody know how to install or configure the module?
In the MaxDB Installation I found in the file /sapdb/<SID>/db/doc/FirstSteps/Perl/HowToPerl.html that one has just to
include the c:\programme\sdb\maxdb1/misc folder to $PERL5LIB. The folder exits but just contains the files to create and drop the demo database.
Regards
Thomas

Hello Maike,
as far as I understand your question, you'd like to automate the installation for your end-users.
In the end it's a local installation where one user works with his/her Database Studio installation - correct?
If it would be possible to add the end users to the user group 'SDB Operators' they should be able to create the user management database and Database Studio should work.
Best regards,
Melanie

Why do we use Handling Unit management in SAP

Hi Experts,
I would like to know about the handling unit management.
What is the use of using/implementing handling unit management in SAP.
What is the need and what are the benefits.

Hello Raj,
I am still aprehensive about the usage of handling unit mangament. I am reading it and it seems that we generally use a handling unit mangement with WM & without WM as well.
Is there any document from where we can understand about it?
Does the end user/customer know about this handling unit is it mentioned in his invoice or EDI?
Will the customer track shipments based on the handling units or is it only for internal purposes.......
What i really dont understand is that relation between the packing instructions and handling units....
how and what level do they differ from each other......
thanks

"database manager" does not show up after MaxDB install

We have about 5 MaxDB/LiveCache installations.
Some of them has the "start->all programs->my SQL MaxDB->database manager" , while
some of them do not have above item.
I think there is a PC command to bring above item visible or accessible. Could you help?
P.S. I have used dbmcli to confirm the livecache is running well.
Thanks!

I cannot know, but I bet there are some license things your company has to check until you can access that area.
Maybe the contract of your company was bound to a different DBMS until now?
Meanwhile you can just download the software from SDN - it's the same software, it's just that it may not be the latest build.

Why I can't connect to Oracle Enterprise Manager via browser after install?

I've installed Oracle9iAS Release2(9.0.2) with Windows 2000 server (servicepack3) and Oracle9i database on the same host.After installation, I can use Oracle enterprise manager(via browser) by connect as "ias_admin" and "12345" for password (It's a password that I input at installing). But 2 days later, I cannot connect it!, what's happen to my 9iAS. I try to change my password in command line by "emctl set password <old_pwd> <new_pwd>, But I've got a message that is incorrect password. By the way, I use command line to start OC4J and HTTP Server instead. Please help me for this problem. Thank you very much.
Ps. I've got this problem for 2 time, but the first time I delete all of oracle products and install it again .

If you have installed the Oracle AS 10.1.3 using an Apache in front the default port is 7777 as far as I know.
You wrote that the main page is accessible, that's why I would suspect that you might have a problem with your hostname. Are you accessing the mainpage via the full qualified hostname or via ip?
Please ensure that you can reach the server using the full qualified hostname!
If you are not sure about it, add an entry to your local hosts-file.
Please tell us if this was your problem!

Eric

Database selection with invalid cursor with MaxDB database

Hi Experts,
I encountered the this error:
"Database selection with invalid cursor
The database interface was called by a cursor (in a FETCH or CLOSE
cursor operation) that is not flagged as opened. This can occur if a
COMMIT or ROLLBACK was executed within a SELECT loop (which closes all
opened cursors), followed by another attempt to access the cursor (for
example, the next time the loop is executed)."
We are using bw support package 19 early this month. Previously is working fine but this problem occured from the last 2 days.
We are using MaxDB database.
Really appreciate any speedy responds.

Hi,
We finally resolved the issue.
The solution:
We check the RFC connection test in SM59. There are connection error.
There is an error that related J2EE_ADMIN user.
SO we reset the J2EE_ADMIN id in SU01.
The problem goes away.
Many thanks

Database Management Copy Data - Replace Option

Can anyone provide info on how this works? we are using 9.2.1
When using database management to copy data, when using the replace option, even if we only pick a few accounts to copy, it is erasing all data in the Target scenario. Does the replace option clear all data by default before copying in the selected data?
we tried to use the Merge option but apparently that doesn't always work for some reason-could be user error. not sure.
Thanks
Wags

Hey Wags- this is expected functionality of the Replace method. It clears all custom/account data for the load entity/year/period combo prior to do the load. For example, if there is P&L data in entity A in Jan 2010 and you load $500 to it in a Sales account, all the rest of the P&L data will be cleared and you'll just have $500 in the Sales account.
Here's stuff from the guide:
Several options are available for loading data into an application. You can merge, replace, or
accumulate the data into the application. You select one of these options for each load process.
Note:
You cannot load calculated data into an application.
Merge
Select this option to overwrite the data in the application with the data from the file.
For each unique point of view that exists in the data file and in the application, the value in the
data file overwrites the data in the application.
Note:
If you have multiple values in the file for the same point of view, the system loads only the value
for the last entry.
If you select the Accumulate Within File option in conjunction with the Merge option, the system
adds all values for the same point of view in the data file, and overwrites the data in the application
with the total.
For each unique point of view that is in the data file but does not have a value in the application,
the value from the data file is loaded into the application.
Replace
For each unique combination of scenario, year, period, entity, and value in the data file, the
system first clears all corresponding values from the application, then loads the value from the
data file.
Note:
If you have multiple values in the file for the same unique combination of dimensions, the system
loads only the value for the last entry.
If you select the Accumulate Within File option in conjunction with the Replace option, the
system clears the value from the application, adds all values for the same point of view in the
data file, and loads the total.
You can achieve the same result as using the Replace option with the Accumulate Within File
option by using the Database Management module. You can organize the data in the file into
groups based on Scenario, Year, Entity, Value, and Period.
Use the Clear Data tab in the Database Management module to clear each unique combination
of these dimensions, selecting all accounts including system accounts. Enter the data manually
in a data grid, or load or copy the data into the application using the Merge or Accumulate load
options. When you perform the Clear operation for a period in a subcube, data, cell text, and
line item detail are cleared, but cell attachments are not cleared.
Note:
You may need to create several small files to load a data file using the Replace mode, especially
if the data is very large or if the file contains ownership data. An error message is displayed if the
file is too large when you try to load it.
Replace by Security
This option enables you to perform a data load in Replace mode even if you do not have access
to all accounts. When you perform the Clear operation for a period in a subcube, only the cells
to which you have access are cleared. Data, cell text, and line item detail are cleared, but cell
attachments are not cleared.
Accumulate
For each unique point of view that exists in the data file and in the application, the value from
the load file is added to the value in the application.
Note:
Data for system accounts is not accumulated.
Accumulate Within File
You can use the Accumulate Within File option in conjunction with the Merge and Replace
options. This option accumulates the data in the file first and loads the totals into the application
based on the load option selected.
File Contains Ownership Data
If the file contains ownership data, you must indicate this by selecting File Contains Ownership
Data. If you do not select this option and the data file contains ownership or shares information,
an error occurs when you load the file.

Hypersonic SQL client program (Database Manager)

I would like to ask if there are some hypersonic Sql client program which can provide me a convenient environment for altering the table structure easily.
I have used the database manager provided by it and tried using other JDBC client program like isql in sourceforge.
I dont know whether there is tools which is written for HSQLDB. If there is, please tell me. Thanks very much for your kind act!!

sorry I should say it is HSQLDB
Actually, it is very powerful and light such that many open source software love to use it.
http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net
Actually, the package it provided is enough for general purpose
But for building complicated application , I think it is not enough if I change field and data type very often.

And when I said changing between DB's I was meaning the two MAXDB databases that exist on my system. I assume that the E&A stuff is stored in the DB3 (in my case) MAXDB database, no? I just test against the MAXDB1 database to be sure that I was not pointing to the wrong database. And because both are MAXDB databases, the proc's are the same.

Using Document Management within SAP

Hi,
I'm relatively new to SAP and need to have some information about using the Document Management Services within SAP. As with other ERP products there are drawbacks to allowing this functionality such as disk space concerns, upgrades, performance issues. Based on some other threads I've read about this it looks like some of the options can be disable to eliminate some of the disk space concerns.
Could anyone point me to a good document that describes Document Management Services and the benefits/drawbacks? I would also be extremely interested in personal experiences of why you would and wouldn't use it.
Thanks,
Julie

Hi, Julie
Purpose;
The Document Management Service (DMS) is a service of the information management infrastructure provided by the Knowledge Provider within the framework of SAP Web Application Server. The central task of the DMS is to process documents and document-like objects on the basis of application-specific content models. Only the DMS can modify document administration data and save this data in a storage medium, such as the SAP database.
Implementation Considerations;
In order to use the DMS, you need to implement some Customizing steps. For details, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) under the following path: SAP Web Application Server ® Basis Services ® Knowledge Provider ® Document Management Service. The IMG modules contain details on the individual Customizing activities.

Thank you Srikishan, I reviewed the link you provided, it solves uninstall and re-install problem for one laptop, however, we have many laptops, can't do manual registry clean up for all of them. The installation was done by mobile client silent script, needs to be successful the very first time.
This error only happens with the very 1st installation, means fresh OS that never had any SAP, I am wondering what is the installation program trying to change in the registry, does it have to go that deep into registry? and what other components are affected by the error "Can't open registry key "HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTECH"?
From the log, the command ran before the error was "CALL: SDBINST -b -t sapmc -f C:\Program Files\SAP Netweaver Mobile Client\MaxDB Files\sdb_MIDB_sample.cfg", is it a sample program and do we need it? is this caused the error?
for remaining errors(many of them), there is one very odd
"SYS: "c:\sdb\programs\runtime\7300\bin\irconf.exe" -i -p "c:\sdb\programs\runtime\7300": Error : Cannot find any installed version of CPC Driver.."
What caused it?
Thanks,

How to run SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows and use MaxDB on linux/W

Good day,
As the subject shows we have SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 and I want to find out how to use it in combination with MaxDB instead of MS SQL. I find a lot of MaxDB stuff on the net but no guides on how to setup SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows workstations and connect them to MaxDB.
Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated .

Hi,
I suggest you to check the supported server for B1 in this link:
http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
You will know the sap b1 supported platform.
If you really want to use maxDB on linux/W as B1 server, you can send a development request to SAP AG.

Not able to access database from a remote machine using SQL Server Management Studio

Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:

Using Workgroup Manager via SSH tunnel

Hi all,
I'm attempting to use the Workgroup Manager app to remotely administer a OS X Tiger Server box. The server sits inside my company's LAN behind a firewall, which only allows traffic to the server on ports 21 (ftp), 22 (ssh), 80 (http) and 311 (server admin with SSL, I believe). All services on those ports work fine.
My research on the net indicates that the Workgroup Manager app uses port 625, but since the hardware firewall is blocking traffic on that port to the server, I'd like to create an SSH tunnel to access it. I've tried the following command on my local machine (i.e., not the server):
$ sudo ssh -L 625:localhost:625 [email protected]
and am able to set up the tunnel with no problem. However when I try to connect Workgroup Manager (on the local machine) to localhost, it won't let me connect. So I tried telnetting to localhost port 625 (on the local machine) to see what's up, and received the following error:
$ telnet localhost 625
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Am I missing something? I was under the impression that the SSH tunnel would allow me to access port 625 on the server via port 22. The software firewall is disabled on both machines, so it's not that. I'm not experienced with SSH tunnelling, so I could be totally wrong about the way this is supposed to work.
Thanks in advance!

A quick tcpdump here indicates that Workgroup Manager uses both 311 and 625 when establishing a connection to the server. It may be the lack of port 311 tunneling that's causing your problem.
$ sudo ssh -L 625:localhost:625 -L 311:localhost:311 [email protected]
