What SAP recommends in ECC 6. Either SAPSCRIPT or SMARTFORMS?

Hi all,
I want to know, what is the SAP's recommendation in ECC 6.0, whether to use sapscripts or smartforms for the important form print outs like purchase order, quotation, GR, GI, invoice, delivery note.
I knew that in ECC 6.0, for some cases, there are both sapscript and smartforms available, for example Purchase order, Delivery note, invoice etc. In this case what is the SAP's recommendation? to use sapscripts or smartforms??
I heard that SAP does recommend.
Awaiting your reply,
Balaji

Hi
These are few lines from sap help:
Smart Forms replace SAPscript forms. SAPscript forms will still be supported in the future; you can use them without making any changes for years to come. You can even use SAPscript texts in the Smart Forms.
Migration of SAPscript forms into Smart Forms is supported.

How to Integrate SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 with XI3.0 or PI7.0

Hi,
I am having access to one SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 server through internet.
I have stand alone SAP Net weaver PI 7.0 installed on my laptop.I do not know how to integrate both ,I mean to say that what are the steps I need to follow so that two systems can talk to each other.
Appreciate your details.
Thanks and Regards,
Viswanath

Hi,
It will be possible to do all the configurations related to RFC destination and partner profile as the experties have mentioned in above posts.
You need to also check with the way you could be able to access the SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 server through internet.
When you establish a connection to a client through a destination, the HTTP connection must first be entered in transaction SM59.
There are two types of HTTP connection in transaction SM59: Call transaction SM59 to display the different RFC destinations.
The HTTP connection to the external server (connection type G) and the HTTP connection to the R/3 system (connection type H) are different only in their logon procedures. Their technical settings are the same. To display the technical settings, double-click a connection.
You can choose from three tabs. Under Technical Settings, you can specify the following:
·        Target Host: The host to which you want to connect.
Note that if you are using HTTPS as a protocol, you have to specify the full host name (with domain).
·        Service No.: Here, you specify the port. The destination host must of course be configured in such a way that the specified port understands the corresponding protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). See Parameterizing the ICM and the ICM Server Cache.
·        Path Prefix: At the time when the connection to this destination is initiated, the system inserts this sub-path before ~request_uri.
·        HTTP Proxy Options: Here, you can configure a proxy for HTTP connections: You can determine the proxy host and service, as well as users and passwords for the HTTP connection.
The tab page Logon/Security will be different depending on whether you have selected a HTTP connection to an external server (connection type G) or a HTTP connection to an R/3 system (connection type H).
HTTP Connection to an External Server (Connection Type G)
Choose the connection you want to use. You can choose from the following logon procedures:
·        No Logon: The server program does not request a user or password.
·        Basic Authentication: The server program requests a user and password. Basic Authentication is a standard HTTP method for authenticating users. When a user logs on to the target system, he or she provides a user ID and password as authentication. This information is then sent in a header variable as a Base 64-encoded string to the server, through the HTTP connection.
·        SSL Client Certificate: If you use client certificates for authentication, the client authentication is performed through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. In this case, you must also select the SSL Client PSE of the SAP Web AS that contains the relevant certificate for the authentication. The target system must handle the issuer of the SAP Web AS client certificate as a trusted system.
Under Logon/Security, you can also activate SSL to ensure that HTTPS is the protocol used (if you select SSL, make sure that the correct port is entered under Technical Settings). In the security transaction STRUST you can determine which type of SSL client is used. (Getting Started with the Trust Manager, Trust Manager).
The field Authorization for Destination has been implemented as an additional level of protection. We recommend that you specify a user and password for the RFC destination.

What is new in ECC 6.0

can u please tell me what is new in ECC 6.0 .what is the difference between this and older version.
a ppt or pdf will be helpful

Hi,
ECC 5.0 is based on WAS 6.40 and ECC 6.0 is based on WAS 7.00.
From functional point of view there are some minor differences, as the core functionalities are not changed a lot. However there is Industrial Solutions intergarated to ECC 6.0 by default.
From ABAP point of view you have the following new elements/components:
- New ABAP editor /meanwhile it's available via downport for lower releases as well/
- ABAP WebDynpro
- Enhancement framework
- Regular experssion support
Also check this link for functionality differences.
http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
SAP R/3 is basic ERP that every one keeps talking about which has got different versions ike 3.1, 4.0, 4.6, 4.7. The latest one in this is the ECC which again has got two versions in the market - ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0.
NetWeaver is the techology stack which gives other solutions that work with R/3 and also provide a technology platform for the ERP to work.
EP - Enterprise portal is a part of the NetWeaver stack and can be used to provide web interface for the user apart from the standard protal functionalities.
You can find more details of NetWeaver here

Options for loading data from legacy mainframe to SAP CRM and ECC

Hello All,
I am new to SAP.
As part of data conversion planning from legacy mainframe to SAP CRM and ECC systems, I need to know the different tools available for loading the data and comparative analysis of the tools by showing the features. Please also describe the process to evaluate the tools (prototyping, technical discussions etc) and make the recommendations.
I would also appreciate any information on testing tools like (eCATT) and any third party tools (like Informatica)
I know I am asking for lot of things here. But, I really appreciate any information reagrding this.
Thanks,
Balu

Hi
Data Migration(Conversions) mainly involves the following Major Steps
Discovery->Extract->Cleanse->Transform->Load
Discovery-> Involves identifying various source systems available where the actual data is residing.
Extract->Extract the data from the source systems(legacy systems)
Cleanse->Cleanse the data by enriching it,De-duplications etc
Transform->Transform the data into SAP Loadable format
Load->Upload the data into SAP Using the Load Programs(Eg,BDC,LSMW,Data Transfer Workbench,BAPIs etc)
Also i would request you to visit http://www.businessobjects.com/solutions/im/data_migration.asp

ESS with SAP ERP 2004 ECC 5.0

Hello,
with SAP R/3 we used the Employee Self Services via an external ITS. Now we are using SAP ERP 2004 ECC 5.0 with an installed Java AddIn without Enterprise Portal.
My Question is:
What ways are possible, so that we can use the ESS functionality?
My Ideas are:
1. Use the old external ITS and connect it to the new system.
Problem: Is the connection possible?
or
2. Use the existing services from the internal ITS.
Problem: It seems that some are not working - is it possible to activate them?
or
3. Use the WebDynpro-Technology without Enterprise Portal.
Problem: Will it work?
All information I could find, is, that none of the mentioned ways will work, but maybe someone tried to do the same and was successful.
Thanks for ideas,
André

Hello Andre,
I don't have experience with using ESS web dynpro applications standalone without EP but I believe that should work just fine. We use standalone web dynpro applications for our mobile ISR/PCR approvals where we access web dynpro application directly via Blackberry. You should be able to access any web dynpro application directly without EP iView - for certain services you will need to provide the correct attributes and values via URL though.
Hope that helps you a little bit,
Harald

Icm/conn_timeout - SAP recommended value

Hello All
1.what is the SAP recommendations for icm/conn_timeout at client level
2.why 400 timeout error not creating any dumps in SRM server.
3.Are BUYERs allows to open more than one session like sourcing, redistibution workload,contract many - BUYERs open more than one time. what is SAP recommendations here on ITS sessions.
4. What is good practice to work on only one ITS session(only sourcing) at a time or BUYER can open more than one web menus at a same time
Muthu

I can't comment on your first two questions. Below are my understandings regarding opening more than one sessions at a time.
3.Are BUYERs allows to open more than one session like sourcing, redistibution workload,contract many - BUYERs open more than one time. what is SAP recommendations here on ITS sessions.
4. What is good practice to work on only one ITS session(only sourcing) at a time or BUYER can open more than one web menus at a same time
Before SRM 7.0, when SRM is based on ITS technology, the each transaction is launched in-frame, instead of being in a new window. That to me can be seen as a potential way to discourage users to launch more than one transaction at a time. The main reason could be to avoid mutually exclusive actions, such as one transaction locking the other. Or even hindering the business data consistency, e.g. when data update happens nearly simultenously.
However since SRM 7, the standard approach has changed in this regard by allowing (or forcing) each process to be launched from ES Portal in a new window. Hence allowing the user to have multiple sessions open at the same time. This could be due to the real-estate/space limitation of Portal (since multiple applications could be sharing it, such as HR, SRM, etc).
In general, my take (NOT SAP offical recommentation) is that users should be given options to work on different transactions at the same time, as long as they are fully aware of the effect and consequences.

RoboHelp V6 - Using Context Sensitivity with SAP R/3 ECC 6.0

We are creating online help/procedures using RoboHelp,
Version 6. We are also upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6c to SAP R/3 ECC
6.0. ECC 6.0 has different backend coding than 4.6c that does not
allow us, at the moment, to implement context sensitivity. My
question is this: Can RoboHelp V6 be integrated with SAP R/3 ECC
6.0 that will allow for context sensitivity? Does coding exist for
this to happen? What must take place for this to work properly? Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
I can't help you on the coding side but is using a URL an
option? If it is, then see my site where I explain how to call
webhelp using URLs. That includes how to open the help pointing to
a specific topic, thus giving you context sensitive help.

Hello,
I can recommend you to search sap official documents for the standard-SAP-delivered-Adobe-forms and maybe there are some for the PM module. Would that help? Or you´ve learnt Adobe yourself? Regards, Otto

What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump of hyper-v host.

Hi ,
I want to setup hyper-v host with 128 GB RAM , Windows 2012 R2
What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump?
I tested to using 150 GB , but when the server is crashed, there is no free space to keep memory dump file.
Ramy

Hi Ramy,
For Server 2012R2 the absolute minimum system drive is 32Gb but this assume you have limited RAM or have your Page file located on another drive. It used to be best practice to setup a small page file but MS PFE now suggest leaving windows to manage
the page file size.
Obviously this is not always possible depending on the amount of RAM in the system, but base the system drive around this or offload the Page file to perhaps another drive. On top of this you also need space for the memory dump to be written, potentially
again up to the size of the RAM. Assuming you fire the machine back up after a crash, you need space for the OS, the Page File plus space for the associated dump file.
There is a nice little article here that maybe of assistance: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13383.best-practices-for-page-file-and-minimum-drive-size-for-os-partition-on-windows-servers.aspx

How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

Hi,
How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving the message that Incorrect logon and password.
(Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
-B S B

Hi again:
I forget to tell.
You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
Hope this wil help,
Eric

Creating Datasource and Extracting from SAP R/3 ECC 6.0

Hello Gurus,
I am very new in BI field, I am learning through notes provided in this Blog.
Curretnly I need to know how we create Datasource at SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 (is there any difference b/t these?)
and how we may extract data from R/3 ECC 6.0 Source System.
Looking for your kind reply
Thanks in Advance
KK

You can use any specific Extractors to Create Data Source in R/3 side.
Let me explain with Generic Extraction
Goto SBIW--> you can see all the extractions here
Generic extractors are of 3 types:
1. Based on table/view
2. Based on Info set Query
3. Based on Function module
If you would like to create a custom table, then goto SE11>Select Table>Click on Create (Now create you own table here & use this table while creating Transaction data)
Goto RS02-->Select Transaction data.
Click on Create
Choose an application component to which the data source is to be assigned
Click on Generic Delta
Specify the Delta-Specific and the type for the field.
Specify a safety interval
Select Data type>Save> Now Data source was generated successfully
After generating the data source , you will find Delta Flag checked.
Please go through the following link for Generic Delta
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/84bf4d68-0601-0010-13b5-b062adbb3e33]
Once you've done with Data Source in R/3 side--> u need to Replicate it to BI
Goto RSA1>source system>Select the Source system in which u've created Data source>R.C select Data Source Overview>Select the Application Component to which Data source is assigned>R.C Select Replicate dataSorce>here you can see your NEW Data source
Hope it helps!
