Hi
A Support Package contains a collection of error corrections. You can only import complete Support Packages and in a specified sequence. Each correction in a Support Package is documented in an SAP Note
SAP Notes give you instructions on how to remove known errors from SAP Systems. They include a description of the symptoms, the cause of the error, and the SAP Release and Support Package level in which the error occurs.
Depending on the type of error, an SAP Note may also include:
· Workarounds
· Descriptions of how to correct repository objects in the ABAP workbench, known as correction instructions
· Links to Support Packages that solve the problem
You can access SAP Notes both from the SAP Service Marketplace and SAPNet - R/3 Frontend

    to map special characters you need to use an element called CDATA in your mapping
    a special character causes an error....as XI wont be able to read it (as it is not in a proper XML format)...so to parse this character through XI without causing an eror use the CDATA....just make a search on SDN and you will find the proper use of it....

  • Are service packs cumulative?

    Hi all
    I was wondering whether weblogic service packs were cumulative in the
    sense that do I have to install each service pack from sp 1 till sp 9 or
    would sp 9 contain everything from the previous service packs.
    Thanks in advance
    Vijay

    They are cumulative.

  • What are the must have SAP componets req to publish MDM 7.1.03.86 on web

    Can anyone explain to me what are the SAP components required for MDM 7.1.03.86 allowing me create a webpage front end to MDM 7.1 and create and publish my own screens?
    Like many I am very new to the world of SAP.
    There are many others in my own company with a vast knowledge of what are all the pieces needed to run almost anything
    In SAP. One of the exceptions to this rule is SAP Master Data Management (MDM).
    We run:
    - SAP MDM version 7.1.03.86
    - A Windows 2003 server
    - Oracle 10.X.
    - 7.1 Import Manager
    - 7.1 Import Server
    - 7.1 Data Manager
    - 7.1 Syndication Server
    - I see reference to the 7.1 MDM Publishers but I donu2019t see the API in the way I have software loaded right now.
    I would like to get to the point where I can create a web portal front end to the MDM product.
    My problem is I canu2019t get anyone to give me a an answer as to what are the other pieced of software I would need to get
    In an end to end solution. Starting with barebones and working up to the works!
    Here is what I would like to be able to do:
    - Publish in a SAP Portal screens to the web. (SAP NetWeaver CE Portal, PI Portal ????)
    - Write code in Java, SQL, VB and more, save and test them. (SAP NetWeaver WebDynpro for Java ???)
    - create a web screen in the portal and publish to a Portal or URL. (SDK kit or Developer's kit Like: SAP NetWeaver
    Developer Studio ???)
    - It looks to me like the "SAP NetWeaver BPM" product is "Nice" to have but not required.
    This is soo confusing, PLEASE help!
    Thank You
    Steve T

    Hi Steve
    Adding to Anu's response:
    The prebuilt packages (worksets) cannot be used on a CE portal - only on a NW Enterprise Portal.
    iView templates are also provided which allows you to put together your own pages and worksets. Again, these require the Enterprise Portal.
    You don't have to use an SAP portal. You can use any webserver combined with Java code
    (that makes use of the MDM Java API) to access the data (check out http://catalog.bd.com/ for a sample of this). Of course, this requires a lot more effort on your side.
    "SAP NetWeaver BPM" amounts to NetWeaver CE. It is required if you want to make use of the WebDynpro components in new MDM releases.
    Since you mentioned the MDM Publisher, if you want to simply publish "read only" data to a web front-end, you may be able to make use of the MDM Publisher together with Adboe InDesign.
    Java code can make use of the MDM Java API. Windows development tools can make use of the MDM COM and MDM .NET APIs.

  • Upgrading Service Pack in SAP BI 7.0

    Hi All,
    We are using BI 7.0. and need to upgrade the Service pack from SP 14 to SP 16.
    Can anyone please let me know
    1. The Impact on the system we would be facing with this upgrade.
    2. The things that need to be taken care - pre or post upgradation. Any check list or Test
    Plan to take care after the upgrade.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Maddy

    Hi,
    On uograding the service pack, unit testing needs to be perfromed for all the objects.
    For e.g.
    1. Perform the loads for all the infoproviders as well as master data.
    2. Execute all queries, web templates etc....
    3. Check all workbooks.
    4. check if roll up and change run are executing fine.
    Hope this helps!!!

  • What correct Service Pack and Fix Patch upgrade path?

    I have installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. I have version 5.0.0.99  build 12,0,0,121. I am assuming this is the base installation.
    There have been a number of packs and patches released. I need to if I have comprehended.  Is sequence below correct:
    1. Crystal Xcelsius 2008 u2013 Service Pack 1
    2. Xcelsius 2008 SP1 Fix Pack 1
    3. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 2
    4. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 3
    5. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 2
    6. Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP2 Fix Pack 2.1
    Other consideration:
    I have heard much discussion about Xcelsius.msi. Is this file in (1) above and does (2) above require it to be available.
    I am using Windows 7.0
    Any other suggestion to avoid a painful process

    Hi,
    I'll answer some of your questions:
    You can just install the base version and then SP2 + FP 2.1. No need to install SP1 and the related fix packs.
    .msi is just an installer file - once you've installed Xcelsius this will not be used anymore.
    I'm not sure that Xcelsius is supported on Windows 7.
    Best regards,

  • What are logics for the SAP UI icons of "Back", "Exit" and "Cancel"?

    Hi SAP experts,
    This question may sound kind of strange - isn't that obvious?
    While, it is in fact a very important and difficult issue for UI app implementations when UI flow should be kept persistant. I have been feeling confused when doing UI implementations in Personas, specially when at some screens I need to add my own "BACK" button in order to go back to the previous screen (which can be different screens depending flow conditions.)
    Can anyone explain what the basic logic is used for the SAP "Back", "Exit" and "Cancel" buttons (see below)?
    Here are my understandings (which may not be accurate or correct):
    1. "Back" icon (left): By pressing this icon, all the changes made in the current screen are discarded, and UI moves back to the previous screen. If there are some fields already been filled with values in the previous screen, there can be two UI behaviours depending on the platforms used:
        a) Some platform will restore the values so the screen looks EXACTLY like before.
        b) Some others will leave all fields empty (While, this can be annoying if you have to re-fill all the fields).
    2. "Exit" icon (middle): By pressing this icon, all the changes made in the current screen are discarded, and UI moves back to the "Initial (or Home)" screen which in most time should be the first launching page of the app.
    3. "Cancel" icon(right): I am very confused by this key - what is the special functionality of this key compared to those of the "Back" key and "Exit" key?
    I have been working in many years on developing UI apps for mobile devices, and there were no such three types of keys for UI navigations. Maybe I missed some special points that is special only on SAP?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Dong Zhu

    This may not sound that interesting so I will close it to keep our track "clean".
    By the way, just want to share some finding - in Personas, when replacing the Exit or Cancel buttons by transactions, I found that "/n" and "SMEN" does not give the same result, and it depends on whether it is the Exit button or Cancel button that is to be replaced.
    Close this question.

  • What are services in Identity Server ?

    A service is a group of attributes defined under a common name. The attributes define the parameters that the service provides to an organization. For instance, in developing a payroll service, a developer might decide to include attributes that define an employee name, an hourly rate and a tax exemption. When the service is registered to an organization, that organization can use these attributes in the configuration of its entries.
    Identity Server defines services using Extensible Markup Language (XML). The Service Management Services Document Type Definition (sms.dtd) defines the structure of a service XML file.
    This file can be found in the following directory:
    install_dir/SUNWam/web-apps/services/dtd/

    Not sure what you mean here, portal can be used in two ways, open portal and secure portal using the gateway.
    If you are using secure portal, typically the gateway would reside in the DMZ and profile server would reside within your firewall.

  • How to find out what BOE Service Pack is installed

    I'd like to check what SP we had installed on our BOXIR2 Enterprise Server. The version number is 11.5.8.8265, I'd like to know if SP1 or SP2 is installed, or even none of the SP is installed. Thanks.

    the information you need can be found via:
    The build version of BOXI Enterprise can be found in the Settings area of the CMC. Build version of individual services can be obtained from the CCM.
    For client tools (Designer, DekI, etc.), right click on the executable (BusObj.exe, Designer.exe, etc.) and choose Properties > Versions. (For a Windows installation, the executables are installed at the following path: <BO install dir>\win32_x86).
