What to use for NW04s development systems

Hi all,
till now we were developing on NW04, with the devlopers having XP (SP2) laptops with an installed WebAS 6.40, Portal, KMC running with an MSDE(MSSQL 2000). So far so good. But we now have to switch to NW04s. Looking into service.sap.com/swdc I find unter update just Updatemasters for Win Server not XP. Therefore I also get an error while installation that this setup is not ment to be used with this OS. Is it possible at all to install 04s under XP? Where do I get the installation files from? How are you guys doing it? WE do have a develop server ( unix)  in place which is attached to the NWDI - but it is not very handy with a bunch of webdynpro developers to all do the testing on one server. Maybe somebody can help me on this - would appreciate it!

Hi Christian,
Well you should download SR2 cd's How to get into it.
service.sap.com/swdc. This is the software distribution center. Go to download and down load by application group. select netweaver and then NW2004s. There you get the option of selecting the OS and inside a particular OS you have the option to chose your database. You get a list of cd's. Here you can select the Instalation master, export, database, kernel, java, Components cd. Rest of the choice is your's. Proceed to download.
Remember that this SR2 is the SPS09 level. While the current release is SPS11. So hence forth you can go to service.sap.com/sp-stacks and select the patches of your choice moving quite the same way and then download those patches and further apply them using JSPM. Ensure that your SDMKIT.JAR and kernel files are included in the list.
To use JSPM you should login as sidadm and also place all the contents under trans/EPS/in folder.
DO reward good points as it helps keeping the spirit of the forum alive.

  • What is used for WebDynpro for ABAP?

    hi all friends,,
    what is used for WebDynpro for ABAP?
    Thanks,
    S.Suresh.

    Hi
    Web Dynpro for ABAP - Getting Started
    Web Dynpro for ABAP is SAP’s new standard UI technology for developing user interfaces in the ABAP environment. In the long term Web Dynpro for ABAP will be the successor of the traditional screen (“Dynpro”) based user interface technology which is based on the SAP GUI. Available with NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) Web Dynpro for ABAP provides the same declarative UI development paradigm as Web Dynpro for Java directly out of the NetWeaver ABAP Application Server. Web Dynpro for ABAP allows the development of user interfaces directly within the ABAP Workbench (SE80) and the Web Dynpro runtime environment is a central part of the ABAP server and can be used in any SAP solution based on NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) without the need of an additional server installation.
    Web Dynpro for ABAP allows the development of user interfaces in a declarative way by providing a mighty framework which abstracts the rendering technology from the core UI definition tasks. The Web Dynpro developer declares the layout and behavior of the UI without caring about HTML, JavaScript, browser specifics or the HTTP protocol. Instead the focus lies on designing graphically Web Dynpro components based on the Model View Controller model, which enforces a clear separation between the UI layer and the underlying business logic.
    This declarative Web Dynpro programming model enforces the developer to focus on the tasks of
    Designing the layout of the visible views (where should the table be placed, do I need tabs, how should the button look?)
    Declaring the flow and behavior of the application (flow between views, which event is triggered by which button click, etc)
    Defining the data binding (which internal table is displayed in a specific table, etc)
    Implementing the event handlers and controller methods.
    Without making any assumption about the used rendering technology, like which browser should be supported or if the Web Dynpro application will be later displayed in a web browser via HTML at all or in another kind of client with completely different rendering capabilities.
    The Web Dynpro Frameworks provides all important UI features directly out of the box:
    All elements (tables, buttons, trees, dropdown list boxes, etc) necessary for state of the art user interfaces are provided by the Web Dynpro Framework in the form of predefined UI element libraries.
    Complex features and behavior of UI elements.
    Internationalization of the UI. All visible strings in a Web Dynpro ABAP UI are handled by the translation system and are translated in the same translation environment like other ABAP language dependent resources. All texts are displayed automatically at runtime, dependent of the user’s credentials.
    Accessibility features are directly built into the framework and UI elements.
    A unified rendering engine generates at runtime the data which is sent to the specific client application, which is not limited to browsers but includes the NetWeaver Business Client.
    All this is available in the established environment of the ABAP application server and well known capabilities like the transportation and change management system, security environment, test and performance analysis tools or remote debugging can be used like in common ABAP development.

  • What is disk utility, what is used for?

    What is disk utlity, & what it used for?

    It is used for a variety of things, including disk repair (if the data structures that keep track of data on the disk get corrupted), repair of permissions on the system files if they get messed up, erasing and partitioning disks, etc.  As Linc points out, Disk Utility's help can give you all the details.  Note that some things cannot be done to the system drive unless you start up from a different drive.
    Also, note that if you're asking because you're deleting apps that you don't use, you really shouldn't do that with the preinstalled Apple apps, even if you think you don't have a use for them.  Sometimes deleting them can have unexpected side effects, and you never know when you might need such an app.

  • What to use for INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY for Sun AppServer Platform Ed 8x

    I've got an external java JMS client trying to connect to Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q1 and I need to know what to use for the Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY (and what jar it's in) plus the PROVIDER_URL for the following code:
    Properties p = new Properties();
    p.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, ????);
    p.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, ????);
    Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
    QueueConnectionFactory qcf = (QueueConnectionFactory)ctx.lookup(factory);

    I experienced similar problems while trying to create a Message Driven Bean
    and send a message to it from a standalone client program.
    After much guddling around (and finally finding some helpful information in
    the App Servers Troubleshooting Guide) I managed to get this to work by doing
    the following:
         1) Including the following jars at client compile time:
              appserv-rt.jar
              j2ee.jar
         2) Including the following jars at client run time:
              appserv-rt.jar
              j2ee.jar
              appserv-admin.jar
              imqjmsra.jar
         3) Passing in the following arguments at client run time:
              -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=localhost
              -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=3700
         4) Creating the context using the no-arg InitialContext method � i.e.
              Context ctx = new InitialContext();
         Note that this method picks up the initial context factory
         as com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory from
         a jndi.properties file in appserv-rt.jar.
    I have included my client code below FYI.
    import javax.jms.Connection;
    import javax.jms.ConnectionFactory;
    import javax.jms.JMSException;
    import javax.jms.MessageProducer;
    import javax.jms.Queue;

  • What's use for Customer Hierarchy

    Dear Guru
    What's use for Customer Hierarchy? give me a step to config?
    regards
    Mohammed Renu.I

    Hi Mohammed Renu,
    CUSTOMER HIERARCHY:
    Customer hierarchies are available in Sales and Distribution, so that you can create flexible hierarchies to reflect the structure of customer organizations. If your customer base includes multi-level buying groups, cooperatives, or chains of retail outlets, for example, you can create hierarchies to reflect the structure of these groups. Use customer hierarchies during sales order processing and billing for determining pricing and running statistics.
    &#61550; A customer hierarchy consists of nodes.
    &#61550; To create a customer hierarchy:
    1. Create master records for each node.
    2. Assign the nodes to each other.
    3. Assign the customer master records to the relevant nodes.
    &#61550; Hierarchy nodes are only valid for a certain period of time. They may also be moved. If a node is moved, the system automatically reassigns all related nodes and customer master records.
    With customer&#61550; hierarchies, you can assign price or rebate agreements to a higher level node. The agreements are then valid for customer’s at all subordinate levels to this node. You can create pricing condition records for each node indicated as relevant for pricing. If one or more nodes in the hierarchy path of a sales order contain pricing information, the system takes them into account automatically during pricing.
    'How to check'
    All the customizing is in SD/Master Data/Business Partner/Customers/Customers hierarchy
    All the customizing is in SD/Master Data/Business Partner/Customers/Customers hierarchy
    1) Define hierarchy type: just put and ID and a name to the new hierarchy.
    2) Set partner determination: if you want to user the hierarchy in price determination, then, in the orders, at the header level, you have to have a Partner Procedure with a partner function for each level. In the partner procedure, in each partner function you must indicate the source partner function. With this information, in the order, you obtain the business partner for each partner function.
    3) Assign account groups: you indicate which accounts groups are allowed for being part or your hierarchy.
    4) Assign sales areas: simple you indicate which sales areas are allowed in your hierarchy. (Here you can customize common sales areas, just for not having to build de hierarchy in all the different sales areas).
    5) Assigning hierarchy type for pricing: you indicate which classes of documents uses hierarchy in pricing determination.
    It is possible to maintain so called customer hierarchies. This might be useful when for example you create a condition discount for a customer that is part of such a hierarchy structure. All subnodes in the hierarchy below that customer, will thus receive the same discount.
    Customer hierarchy setup, firstly decide the hierarchy type to be used.
    The standard is type A.
    You can also assign a partner function to the customer so that the higher level customer in the hierarchy is copied into a sales order as a partner function - but you don't need that right?
    Next assign your customer account group to the hierarchy type. And enter the combinations that will be allowed for creating the hierarchy.
    You want to assign a ship-to to a payer. So enter the ship to account group and enter the payer account group as the higher level.
    You must also make an entry for permitted sales area assignments. So if you want to a hierarchy for customers in the same sales area then enter the sales area and enter the same one as the higher level sales area.
    All these settings can be found in the IMG. Under SD - master data - business partners - customers - customer hierarchy
    You use for example customer hierarchy when you have an company like Unilever and you agree both on a discount. Unilever does have different locations / businesses and you have to maintain the discount for all customers. If you use a customer hierarchy you can maintain the discount for the partner in the top of the hierarchy and in this way it will be valid for all customers in the hierarchy.

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Server B  SRP 100MB  C: 102GB  on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/e855ee43-186d-4200-a032-23d214d3d524      Some people report success after diskpart clean, but not us.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/31595afd-396f-4084-b5fc-f80b6f40dbeb
    "If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring."  Doesnt apply here.
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
    for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

  • What to use for the events of 2 keys pressed simultaneously?

    Question:
    What to use for the events of 2 keys pressed simultaneously? As the key listener has limited functionality, in this case, I need something that can act to two events (see below)
    Goal
    1. A user presses right and up at the same time
    2. Program responds to this event changing BOTH the vertical and horizontal speeds of the player
    Problem
    I currently have a key listener to do this, using key pressed, however, it only acts to up OR right at one point in time. So the user can only increase his or her vertical speed; or horizontal speed at one point in time. Instead of increasing them both.
    Example
    Here is an example of the game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/MINDistortion/bubbles-2

    I don't know whether there's a better way (or whether this will work as expected), but I would try setting a boolean flag on keyPressed and reset the flag on keyReleased, for each key of interest. To compute the x / y movements, I would check the state of all flags.
    dbI was thinking about your answer a few nights ago. And I was like, wait... it works! I thought, at first (as I replied before) that it wouldn't work, but I refract what I said. Its actually a very simple solution. And I apologize for questioning your solution previously. Thanks so much!
    P.S. I tested it out. Works like a charm.
    -Create booleans to handle each key
    -Set to true on press
    -Set to false on release
    -Check and update in separate thread accordingly

  • Can sap ps be used for product development  for cost monitoring?

    sap-pp is configured but client insisting for product development they want sap-ps ,can sap ps be used for product development  for cost monitoring in textile industry?and how to configure with reference to sap-pp?
    venkatdas vanga

    Hi,
    SAP PS has good Integration with PP and FI CO modules. So goes well along the ETO scenario.
    The normal process is that Project is created and goes in to design phase , where we design product as per customer's requirement . Design BOM helps in this.Once you design is ready you can generate Production Orders base on MRP generated with reference to Projects.
    All the cost including overheads are charged to the Project as actual cost.
    These costs are later settled to Cost Center.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

    Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
    The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
    Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.
