WE19 (iDoc Test Tool) and case sensitive content

Hi experts,
I am not able to send case sensitive content via WE19. When I change a value of an existing iDoc (via WE19) all values of the segment are converted to uppercase (independent of the domain).
To reproduce:
1) Open transaction WE19
2) Use any existing iDoc as template
3) Open any segment
4) Fill any field with a lowercase text
5) Press ENTER
6) Re-open the segment and check changed field. -> The value is converted to upper case
This (translate to upper case) happens only on the segment that has been edited in WE19.
In my opinion, the transaction WE19 is not usable because it is not possible to edit/change case-sensitive values. In our customer setting we need to send case-sensitive data in iDocs to the receiver.
Question: Is there any other transaction to read an existing iDoc, change the data case sensitive and send it to the receiver.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes - this is a "strange" behaviour ;o)
Only other solution I know you need an IDoc in status 51 for:
- go to bd87
- select the IDoc in status 51
- navigate to the needed data record
- double click it
- menu => display => change
- insert your data
After saving the status will be reset and you can process the IDoc in BD87.
I am not sure this will work for each IDoc and element - but you may give it a try.
For converting an existing to status 51 you can use this report: RC1_IDOC_SET_STATUS

Kai

WE19 IDOC test tool in reverse to create a file

Hello gurus
Is there a way to use WE19 to "create" a file from an existing IDOC?
Thanks

I have an inbound order IDOC viewable in WE05.
I want to load it into WE19. No problem, I know how to do that.
Then, I want to save it on my app server as a plain ASCII file. In other words, a file that would look like one sent from an external system.
Does that help explain it?
Thanks

HFS and case sensitive file systems

I recently received a pre-installed Macbook. The file system is HFS+ (Apple_HFS according to 'diskutil list').
This file system is not case sensitive but I would like it to be. Is there a way to deactivate the HFS wrapper responsible for that without formatting the disk and re-installing the OS from scratch ?

I got issues synchronizing my linux account with my macosx account
If it's home directory contents that's the issue, you might consider simply partitioning your drive and creating a separate home directory partition that is case sensitive, separate from the boot partition tht is not.
Assuming you're on an Intel-based machine, you can resize the existing partition to make room, then create a new case-sensitive partition and move your home directory there.
Now your account synchronization shouldn't have an issue and you didn't have to re-install the entire OS.

CS4 and Case Sensitive File Systems

Does anyone know if CS4 will support case sensitive file systems?

While I do wish all software companies including Apple completely
supported the case-sensitive file system. Many don't. I cannot pull up
an article, but I remember reading that Apple only recommended the use
of the case-sensitive file system for OS X server and if memory serves
even for that it only recommended it for the attached hard drives.
We can lament the lack of support but if you really want to change the
status quo for Adobe products then the only useful way to do so is:

Portable Home Directories, FileSyncAgent, and Case-sensitive drives

I have a 10.5.3 Server machine that is serving (via NFS) home directories to a mixed group of Leopard (10.5.3) and Linux clients. The drive containing user home directories is formatted to be case-sensitive. I also use Portable Home Directories and mobile accounts on all the Leopard clients. Many of the client machines have case-insensitive drives.
FileSyncAgent is dying on the client machines with a lot of "Reverification failed" messasges in ~/Library/Logs/FileSyncAgent.log. The files being verified often have mixed case file names, while the error messages show lower case file names.
Anyone else seeing FileSyncAgent dying on every home sync?

Hi Guys, So far I have found what seems to be a fix for this issue. I was also having the issue happen to me around some iphoto file but that seems to be coincidental. I will detail what I did below but please first backup the mobile account on the local machine as you will need to recreate it.
Backup the local mobile home folder
Log into a admin account and delete the mobile account under the Accounts Pane in System Prefs
Log into the users Network account on the notebook
Delete all the following items
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
~/Library/Mirrors
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.syncservices.*
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.filesync.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homesync.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.syndication.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Syndication
Logout of the Network account and then back in
Recreate the Mobile Account
From this point on I have not seen any issues with the FileSyncAgent crashing. Omit any of the files listed above that do not exist. I generally have the notebooks sync on login and logout and I forced a sync while logged in to make sure everything was okay and so far so good. Hope this helps.

Mac OS X, User Folder and Case-sensitivity (plus a Partitioning Question)

Hello everybody.
Today, I'd like to start a new thread regarding the configuration of OS X and the formatting of the drive with a HFS+ (case-sensitive, journaled) file system.
There is a problem that has been tormenting me for quite some time now, and so far I haven't been able to find a losution yet.
Here is the issue. When I bought my MacBook Pro (early 2011), I changed the main dirve to an hybrid SSD destinating the original 750GB to a Time Machine backup disk. As a consequence I had to make a fresh install of OS X. When it came the time of formatting I've opted for:
Creating two partitions: 1 for the OS and 1 for the user folder (I have only one admin-user). Back then, I was coming from a Win enviroment and having two partitions seemed to be the best option for me. (Less chanche of user-data corruption in case something goes wrong in the OS partition).
Chose a HFS+ (case-sensitive, journaled) file system. It seemed to be the more complete alternative.
Everything was absolutely for a couple of months then I encountered the first issue: Adobe products don't work on a case-sensitive fs.
I managed to get Photoshop to work eventually (manually correcing folders name) and didn't care too much about the rest.
In the meantime over a year has passed and I kept the mentioned configuration, uptdating to Lion and ML. Recently another couple of isses have appeared: AutoCAD presents the same problem as Adobe and there is an issue in the keyboard balcklight control (from forums seems that ML is not able to store any information in System Preferences regarding the backlight).
Despite the fact that case-sensitive fs seems to be the future solution chosen by Apple, it is still premature to have it as OS fs unless you are an hard-core developer that don't care about tons of programs that would eventually miss from your application folder.
Being decided to move back to a case-insesntive fs, I need wish I could calrify a couple of doubts before proceding:
(Not relatete to fs) Is it a good practice to keep user folder on a separate volume? Does it generates any issue on the base of your experience?
Is it possible to have the OS on case-insensitive fs and the user folder on a case-sensitive one? Does the OS have an issue with that?
The second point is the most critical as my data are now on a case-sensitive volume. They mostly consists in documents, images and music which should be migrated on a case-insensitive volume seamlessy, however, I'm not 100% sure about what happened during the last year (i.e. if there has been the generation of not-unique names).
Furhtermore, I wish I could keep a case-sens volume as I plan to be dealing with a Linux enviroment soon. If that could be the user volume, this would be amazing.
I'd also like to ask personal opinion on advantages of having case-sens fs.
I understand I asked lots of questions in a single post. I hope, however, that this thread could be a base to collect some of the quite dispersive topics related to case-sensitivity present on the web.
Best Regards,
Alexander

Linc, in the provious post you said there might be issues having user data on a separte partition.
Which kind of issues are you tihnking of? Have you ever encountered such problems?
The biggest risk is that poorly written software will assume your home directory is at /Users/you and will fail (or worse) if it doesn't like what it finds there.
I really appreciated if you could be more specific and don't worry about being too technical.
There are two ways you can go about it.
1) Set everything up normally as if you only had one partition. Create your user on that one parition. Then, copy all the real user data to the 2nd partition. Using your admin account, make sure that all the permission on the user folder on the 2nd partition are the same as on the original partition. The, use System Preferences > Users & Groups > your account > right/control click > Advanced > Home directory and change it to the home directory on the 2nd partition. Log in to that new account. Make sure everything works. Then delete the user directory at /Users.
2) A even more robust, old-school option is to create an /etc/fstab file and have your 2nd partition mounted at /Users. Then, everything will function normally and your user home directories will all be at /Users. /Users will, however, be on a different volume.

Renaming filenames and case-sensitivity: a race condition in the OS?

There appears to be a curious set of circumstances where the OS doesn't allow you to rename a file where the only changes are case-sensitive. For example, "foo.JPG" to "foo.jpg". You can see an example using the command-shell "tcsh". Start this shell (type "tcsh" at any command prompt), and then type:
% touch foo.JPG
% mv foo.JPG foo.jpg
overwrite foo.jpg? (y/n [n])
Now, you may think it's no problem because few people use tcsh, but the problem is more systemic that should be addressed because I'm finding the problem at a programming level as well. The simplistic tcsh example illustrates the problem: the internals of tcsh call the OS-layer library function rename(2) to move or rename a file. However, something in the OS that reports back that the new filename exists (even though it doesn't) Because it sees foo.JPG, and it doesn't differentiate letter case, it thinks foo.jpg exists, so it returns an error to the calling program. In this case, it's tcsh, which is what prompts the user to overwrite. It doesn't matter what you answer, the result is the same. If you say yesthe OS doesn't see them as different, so it doesn't do anything.
If you're a programmer, you can see this happen for yourself by writing a small program that does the same thing:
#!/usr/bin/perl
if (!rename "foo.JPG", "foo.jpg") {
print "Error: $!\n";
This simple perl script just calls the rename(2) library call, which is part of the OS.
What I don't understand is why this error happens, when, and how to get around it. Obviously, other programs that rename files don't have this problem. The default shell, bash, doesn't have a problem either--even though tcsh (also a similar command-line shell) does. In fact, most programs don't have this problem. But as a programmer, I'm not sure what I should be doing. This exact same perl script (and correlating C programs) work perfectly well on all other unix platforms I've tried.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It's not at the os layer, it's at the filesystem
layer. The filesystem you have is not case sensitive.
well, the filesystem is part of the operating system, although it's clearly only one component of it. In fact, one of the primary defining characteristics of unix is how the filesystem works, albeit there are variations of implementation. But this is a nit=picking point.
As to the issue of whether the filesystem truly is case-insensitive, that isn't so clear. I can rename a file from foo.JPG to foo.jpg easily in the Finder (just click and edit a file to change it's name from upper to lower, or mixed), and the new name you give it DOES change. similarly, I can do this with virtually any other app that has a file-finder style dialog box. Why I can't do it with the shell (or at an API level) is the real mystery, and there is no doc on the subject that I'm aware of. Clearly, the OS is preserving the change somewhere, somehow. the question is, who's doing it? (and if it's not part of the filesystem, why?)
It could be that some other layer is sitting on top of the filesystem that is overseeing such actions, and is preserving the case of the filenames, but this is such a huge waste of time and work, all for a "feature" whose value is still as yet unclear to me.
If it is, as you say, that "my version" of the filesystem happens to be case-insensitive, I'd love to know where that came from, and what the rationale was behind it. And, of course, how to get some version of the filesystem that doesn't have this feature. I've been working with unix systems at every layer since 1983, and have never run into such a thing before.

Stress test tool and guidelines for tuning ADF 11g

Hi all,
I am working our ADF 11g application on load & stress testing. The load test works fine with some millions of full dummy rows (this generated data tool is easily written by ourself). The tunning only was done with only indexing. But with stress I'm concerning with RAM and other tunning parameters such IO and share pool from OS to DB and to WL servers and how to tune it for around 200-300 concurrent connections. I'm studying Jmeter for this purpose but still not get the answer. I have tested with Oracle Openscript but it worked very heavily slow :(.
The question here is that do you have any experiences on tuning parameters for such requirements and what is the best automatic test tool for testing multi-connections, please advise me.
Thank you very much.

FileVault in Snow Leopard and case-sensitive filesystem?

Does FileVault in Snow Leopard support case-sensitive filesystems?
I know it doesn't in Leopard but was wondering if the situation had changed with Snow Leopard.

V.K. wrote:
I don't know the answer to that but why are you using a case sensitive file system?
it's generally a bad idea not only because of filevault but also because many apps will not work well with it and some like many Adobe apps won't run on it at all.
I find it amusing how Apple tout the virtues of their operating system being Unix-based when they allow MSDOS-style bastardisations like this.
I've been using OS X for five years in case sensitive mode because I write software for (proper) Unix systems for a living. I need to be able to connect to a Unix-hosted version control system and know that my Mac isn't going to throw a wobbler just because there are two different files which would have the same name under a case-insensitive file system.
It's a shame that I am therefore denied access to Filevault but, from what I hear, Filevault causes all sorts of problems with Time Machine backups anyway, so perhaps it's for the best.
I have to say, in five years I haven't encountered a single piece of software that has a problem with case-sensitivity although, admittedly, I've never voluntarily used any Adobe software (does Adobe Air count)?

HTTP sender, difference between test tool and own application

Hello,
we are using HTTP test tool to connect to XI and send a flat file to a directory. Only a small test!
OK, using the test tool offered here in the SDN, we are successful connecting to XI. SXMB_MONI shows a good result.
But using another HTTP application we get an error back:
error code 404; resource not found
This is what we use in the HTTP application:

I tried to have a look at the threats here but did not find something I could use.
Who could help?

Ldap test tool and auth failing after upgrade to 11gR2

Hi All,
We have recently upgraded our apex database from 10.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.2.0 using apex 3.2. We have been able to confirm that all apex applications work as expected apart from the apex ldap utility. The tool returns "Authentication failed!" even though the ldap server port and DN string have not changed from previously. We can confirm that ldap bind works as well as using the sql directly through the database.
Has anyone come accross any problems with something similar?
Thanks in advance,
Brett

Got it resolved. Since we are using a custom LDAP application we had to run the script not only for the DB account APEX_030200 but also the DB Account that is associated with the workspace containing the custom application or package.

WE19 - Test tool for IDOC processing

Hi:
As we know WE19 is the test tool, and it has downside that it translates everything into upper case.
Even SAP has a note for it, stating that it is not going to change. but it gets changed everything in upper case .
In Our requirement; some fields` value in lower case (or partially lower case) are required by using this tool, it converts these into upper case and hence our process does get failed.
Let me know if any exit or bapi or some other solution for it.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks in advance.

Shashi
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 22, 2008 4:07 PM

Hi,
Do I understand that correct that SAP says in a note that the data will not be converted to upper case in WE19, but it is getting converted anyway?
In this case I would definitely raise an OSS message because according to SAP WE19 is not supposed to change the entries into upper case.
If I misunderstood your comment then the only possibility would be to hook into one of the user exits. Every IDOC that is created uses a function module that processes the IDOC and passes the data to the application. The user exit you can use depends on which IDOC type you are using. The import function modules start with IDOC_INPUT_*. Once you find out which function is used just look into the coding to identify the user exits. Use an exit at the beginning to convert the data before it is passed to the application.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Conext Sensitive Help Test Tool Not Working

I have been trying to test my map files with the context-sensitive test tool, but am unable to get it working. I am running TCS 3.5 on Windows XP Pro.
I created a map files for Java in the project file and then created several test links with Map IDs. I am working with an offline WebHelp system on my C drive. I open the CSH Test Tool and located the index_csh.htm file for the WebHelp help system and then choose the Map Number. But when I click "Show Help," nothing appears. The hourglass comes up for a brief instant, as if it's going to load the page, but then nothing happens.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, William:
Your C# API allowed me to successfully test. Thanks.
However, I was reading a bit more of the information on your site, and am still unclear why the deafult RH CSH Tester would not work. I was only using map numbers. Very frustrating.
I also had a few other questions, since this is the first time I'm creating a mapping file in RH:
- Is there any way to batch test? Or, if the icons appear blue (indicating they are correctly linked) in the Edit Map IDs dialogue box, can I just use your C# API to test a few and assume that they others are also working?
- Is this API set to open up the pages in IE by default? Mine is doing that, but I wasn't sure if it was your app or my computer settings. I'm in an corporate environment where we are supposed to use IE as the default browser, although I have FF installed, too. It keeps opening an IE window with a security message that says JavaScript is not supported and I have to click the bar at the top to allow ActiveX controls to work. I'm pretty sure that last part is a security setting I can't change here, but not so sure about the default browser choice.
-I haven't downloaded your API testers in other languages. Are they all the same with the difference just being language preference for the person testing it, or do some of them offer more functionality?
Thanks for sharing your great tool!

Hi,
BW Quality Testing
We have not used any tool like Mercury Quality center for testing. In our case we created some test scripts and based on that we proceeded further.
All the testing is done in quality before moving into Prod.
Testing like Integration and unit testing are done in quality.
You need to test if the extractions are working fine, data is getting loaded into targets, post load activities like activation, rollup, compression etc are successful etc.
We test the PC chains also in Quality.
We schedule / trigger the chains and monitor them. We ensure that all the process types are happening successfully.
One major area we concentrate on is to identify decencies in the chain. This will ensure less errors and also reduce chain timings by a great extend. Dependencies should be kept to a minimum wherever possible.
Also in cases where we use events/third party scheduling tools to trigger BW chains we check that out.
Executing reports to check the definitions are correct.
The volume of data will be lesser in Quality compared to prod.
Also activities like Change runs, Deletion, Selective deletion etc are done.
Almost all the activates in Prod are done in Quality.
Refer.
