Which Hardware for 2000 SAPS?

Hello people,
in my company I have to implement a SAP workshop with an instance of SAP Netweaer PI.
Now I'm at the step in which I need to know wich hardware will work fine for this system.
In quicksizing I obtained that I have to use a host with 2000 SAPS.
I know what is SAPS but I would know which hardware I have to buy.
Could you explain me with an example of implementation?
For example: "With 2 CPU @ 2.4GHz, 8GB Ram eccetera."
Best regards
Davide Bruno

I have seen some PI systems running fine on 4 CPU @ 3.0 Ghz and 16GB as well as 8 CPU @ 2.4 GHz and 16GB on Redhat and Oracle.

VAT reports which are available in SAP for Canada and Puerto Rico

hello all,
Does anyone know the programs/transactions for VAT reports which are available in SAP for country Canada and Puerto Rico?????
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know (and I live here), there is no VAT in Canada. You might look for GST or HST reports.

Can SAP ESP share SAP HANA sever hardware for installation

Hi All,
To install SAP ESP do we need separate hardware server or can it share SAP HANA server?
And will CEP engine be integrated within sap hana? If yes then what is the roadmap?

Hello,
Please for the future, use separate posts for your separate subject questions, so that others can easily search and find the questions/answers.
To answer your first question of:
To install SAP ESP do we need separate hardware server or can it share SAP HANA server?
- For performance reasons, SAP does not support installing both servers on the same machine, as mentioned in ESP Documentation here: SyBooks Online. (SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor 5.1 SP04 > Adapters Guide > Adapters Currently Available from SAP > SAP HANA Output Adapter > Performance and Tuning Tips for the SAP HANA Adapter)
To answer your second question of:
And will CEP engine be integrated within sap hana? If yes then what is the roadmap?

Problem in Domain Server for Cluster SAP installation

Hello,
SAP Production Landscape Information :
SAP Version: ECC 6.0
OS: Windows 2003
Database : Oracle 10.2.0.2
Production Server is in MSCS cluster involving two nodes.
Also, this is a domain installation and hence user SAPSID and SAPSERVICESID resides on altogether different domain Server.
Problem:
OS of u2018Windows domain serveru2019 has crashed. Hence, domain server is almost not usable.
Restart of it takes several hours. Repair of OS is tried by Microsoft without any success.
So this has resulted into communication problem between SAP Production server and Domain server. As an effect, restart of production server takes approximately an hour.
And hence I need some solution to resolve this SAP Server  Domain Server link.
Logically, following can be solution of this problem,
1.     If Current SAP Production can be made as Local Installation instead of Domain installation. (Basically, creating users locally and making SAP refer that)
2.     If above is not feasible then replicating domain server on new hardware and making SAP point to this new domain server.
However, I am not sure about feasibility and procedures for both of above cases.
Please let me know your views and any other solution for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply.
Possibility of converting domain installation to local is ruled out as MSCS cluster needs domain.
As you have rightly mentioned, I do have secondary domain sever.
For More information:
1)Domain details for primary server are
    Full computer name : APPL-SERVER.SHREE
    domain            : SHREE
   as secondary server is kept shutdown, details are not available. (I can't run both server running simultaneously)
2)sqlplus "/as sysdba"
sql> select username from dba_users;
    TSMSYS
    OPS$SHREE\SAPSERVICEPRD
    OUTLN
    OPS$SHREE\PRDADM
    DIP
    DBSNMP
    SAPPRD
    SYS
    SYSTEM
3) In the services, mainly users are using SHREE\PRDADM & PASSWORD.
Client have tried shutting down primary and promoting secondary domain controller. However, after that SAP service were not getting started. But on again starting primary controller,start of SAP services were successful.
As can be seen in 2nd & 3rd point above,SAP database and SAP services both refer to name "SHREE" which seems domain name and not to hostname.
So in this case, when I start secondary domain server (primary is shut down) then as SAP is referring to domain name, SAP's service should start.
However, that was not the case. SAP Services were not able to get started.
So, do we have to change anything in SAP as to make it point to secondary domain server.
Let me know your views.

Nirav.

Service desk for non-sap (please - any inputs are welcome)

hi all,,
I know how to setup service desk for SAP use. Can some one provide me some tips on using solution manager - service desk for non-sap as well? eg: the company wants to use service desk for normal activities as well, as laptop not working, server down, other system issues etc.
The questions I have are -
1) Any specific structure to be created for the non-sap? The way we use in SAP specific environment is to use "SAP Components" while creating tickets. How can we create tickets for non-sap components? What will be the "responsibility" selection?
2) How about the Ibase? For SAP, the ibase already have the data from SMSY. How can I get data for non-sap systems? Anything is SAP to keep the Asset management data (like entries of laptops, servers etc)
Thanks for all the suggestions !!

Hi
You need to go for service desk XT which is the extension of service desk to manage non sap or IT incidents
Check below link
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/_solutionmanager
Heterogeous system environments are a challenge for IT-service management in any company. The associated complex structures and varying forms of media often make it difficult to realize efficient service processes. With SAP Solution Manager Service Desk - Extended Usage (Service Desk XT), SAP offers a centralized support tool as a single point of access - for service requests and problem tickets related to SAP and non-SAP software.
The Single Point of Access for Support
SAP Solution Manager, which is a standard part of every SAP solution and therefore can be used by all SAP customers, supports users in SAP relevant service requests. The standard function of the service desk is restricted to service requests.
With Service Desk XT, SAP provides an extended support tool, which can be also used for general service requests, for example regarding IT or telecommunication equipment.
This priced add-on does not require additional interfaces to third-party products - the same service requests are used for SAP and non-SAP applications. This simplification is a benefit for your employees.
This solution has been created with IT service providers in mind, especially those which work within a company and currently do not have an IT-service desk application in place or would like to replace an existing system.

"SSO" for non-sap web application using SAPGUI to browse?

I have a web application (non SAP) and the user base are also SAP users in an ABAP system.
To strengthen the authentication in the web app, I wanted to implement SSO
authentication as we pity the users for having to remember so many strong pw's and I
dont like LDAP based pw sync or other technology I dont understand, because then we are
just yet another application with the same pw...
We are having technical problems implementing SSO on the web app side, and are anyway a
bit sceptical about the user admin / role admin assignment if we get it to work.
So I have created a transaction in SAP which browses the web app and the intention is to
send the SAP sy-uname as the web app user. We can control this using s_tcode, and
an own auth object on the WAS side and a check on the session type before the connection is
established. In this sense we are dependent on the SAP concept implemented, but even so:
The role assignment is controlled in the web app itself -> so assume that I am not overly
worried about unauthorized access to the web application, as they would not have any
system role for it as their sy-uname does not exist. (Infact we can monitor this)
The browser on the front end is the SAPGUI with html controls on the SAP side.
I would be interested in knowing whether anyone else has experience with this approach, and
whether there are any areas to be carefull of?
I would also like to know whether this is a strategic error?
Kind regards,
Julius

Hi Julius,
well, if that web application would run on the same ABAP backend system then the solution described in <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0612670">SAP Note 612670</a> would be applicable:
a so-called "Re-entrance ticket" (based on the "SAP logon ticket" SSO proceedings) is issued, transported via the SAPGUI connection and back to the system via the invoked HTML control.
But for non-SAP web applications that does not help.
In that case only X.509 client certificates can be used for SSO. Actually, the web application could then also be invoked directly (independent from the SAPGUI session). The user is authenticated based on the X.509 client certificate - and not based on the ABAP userID (of the SAPGUI session).
Well, if you don't mind the effort you could also use the "SAP Logon Ticket evaluation library" (sapssoext, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0304450">SAP Note 304450</a>) to evalute the SAP logon ticket externally. You'll then need to have a "stub application" at the ABAP side that triggers the http redirect to your external web application. Not a nice solution but a possible one.
In the future SAML browser artifacts would be an option (preferable to integrate non-SAP applications). But currently that's not available (for NWAS ABAP).
Cheers, Wolfgang

SSO for some SAP Apps, but forced login for the sensitive data application

We have R/3 4.7 (Enterprise), with EP 6.0 and Web AS 6.40. We have implemented Employee Self Service, as well as CRM, and some BW reports through EP 6.0. We have a Broadvision Portal that is on top of EP 6.0. In other words, the employees login to the Broadvision Portal, and authenticate against our Active Directory user store. Then they will choose the SAP apps listed above, which go through the SAP Portal (EP 6.0)
We want to allow SSO through EP when users choose either CRM, or BW reports, but we want to force a login when they choose ESS, since this data is more sensitive. The problem we have had is that when we turn on SSO, it allows the user through for all 3 SAP apps. My question is: How can we force a login for just ESS, but not for the other 2 apps.
Thanks.

Rick,
I suppose, Eric meant Authentication Schemes ("authschemes") instead of security zones.
An authentication scheme is essentially a pointer to a JAAS logon stacks on the J2EE Engine plus a frontend ("login screen"). Authentication schemes are assigned numbers ("priorities"), the higher the number the more trustworthy the authentication of the underlying JAAS stack is regarded.
Example:
Let's assume you use the default authscheme "uidpwdlogon" for all your iviews. It features a password-based or SAP logon ticket-based logon and is assigned a value of 20. All iviews that have this authscheme set in its "authscheme" property are accessible for you without any further authentication once you have passed this scheme (or any other authscheme with a priority <= 20).
Now, you set one individual iview to use authscheme "certlogon", which requires an X.509 certificate and is valued "21". When accessing this iview, the portal will force a re-authentication (as 21>20).
By configuring custom authschemes and JAAS logon stacks you can easily implement your scenario. Simply ensure that all your ESS iviews will be using an authscheme with a value greater that your default value.

Dominik

Hi ,
we have implemented Siteminder on SAP PORTAL 6 SP16 for authentication.I would like to integrate non sap application in Portal.I could not find any documentaion for setting up non sap application's in portal on which siteminder external authentication is implemented.
can anybody help for getting step by step document.
diff rewards to be given

Hi,
if you have access to service.sap.com via S-User, you can download "SAP Enterprise Portal Security Guide" in the portal section. It has dedicated descriptions about SSO-Settings, also about netegrity.
You can also search help.sap.com about "SSO" which gives you overview descriptions.
On SAP Service Net, there is also an pdf "Integrating Security functions" in the Netweaver 2004s Portal section, where the description of the Java API for the PDK is included. This is very helpfull for coding.

Session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded

hi
PLease give me the answer to these questions.
session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded why .
2) if we want to maintain BDC program in all the systems.wt to d0

Hi Revethi,
Here is the difference between the Session and Call Transaction method.
Session
Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
in bdc we use FM ... bdc_open_group " for creating Session
bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
bdc_close_group " for closing Session
Call Transaction
Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
4) it doesn't support background processing.
5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
Syntax:
Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
mode <A/N/E> update <L/A/S>
messages into BDCMSGCOLL.

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.

Error in Solar02 " Error - No system found for component SAP LEARNING.....

Hi,
I have selected the Business repository from the Tcode Solar01c, and i can see the list of configuration under Business Scenario,
when i am trying to execute any Tcode,(My understanding is that this Tcode must execute in Development system) it gives the following Error,
" No system Found for Component SAP Learning Solution and Role Evaluation system in project ZPROJ.
In SMSY i have created Two systems Dev :100 and Qas:300 Which are assigned to one logical component whose producted Version in SAP ERP.
Please advise by reviewing above scenario.
Regards,
SM

Hi Irfanl,
I've had the same issue with regards to getting the error below when assigning transactions to a Blueprint business process.
"No system found for component and Evaluation system in the Project"
But I think I have solved it and seems pretty simple to change the system role from Evaluation System to any other that is relevant in your landscape.
Go to transaction SOLAR01 > Click on the first level of the Project Name (Under Business Blueprint Structure) to select the Project.
Click Business Blueprint in the Menu > System Role > Choose the relevant System Role (in my case Development)
Click Copy
This should replicate to all nodes and then you should be able to assign transaction to the business processes.
Quite strange and seems simple, I checked the Solution Directory, Solar Project Admin etc etc but couldn't find the solution until this which should work.
If not, there is a similar work around which also works.
Go to transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN
System Landsacpe Tab
Systems subtab
Click System Role Assignment
Remove the Evaluation System (or all those not relevant to your Project and Logical Components)
Save Project
Go to SOLAR01 and it should reflect it in the Blueprint.
You can always go back to this and add the System Roles you removed and the Blueprint will reference the correct Role.
Hope this helps,

Which G5 for Video Editing?

Hello, I've decided not to wait for an Intel MacPro, but would like to buy a G5 in the next 5 mos (by July) for standard-definition video editing using FCP 5 Studio. I have a few questions:
1) Currently, I have a Quicksilver G4 with dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb ram and 160 Gb ATA drive. Would FCP 5 Studio work effectively on this machine (for editing, color-correction, motion graphics, rendering to DVD etc)? If not, is it worth investing more money into this machine, or should I switch to a G5?
2) Which G5 would work effectively for my purposes? Kindly advise on clock-speed, RAM, Video card, hard disk etc. I take it I will not need RAID for SD, but only high-definition? I would need to use this machine for at least 3 years. Do you see Apple discontinuing hardware or FCP support for this platform during this time?
3) How would the 23" screen be for video-editing? Are there any rumors about a 25" screen replacing it?
4) Lastly, are there any Apple conventions in the next 6 mos (where new products could be announced), which I should wait for, before purchasing?
Thanks for your advice!
G4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.5) Dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb Ram, 2 x 80 Gb ATA

Hello, I've decided not to wait for an Intel MacPro, but would like to buy a G5 in the next 5 mos (by July) for standard-definition video editing using FCP 5 Studio. I have a few questions:
Get a Quad and get one fast, with a PPC machine you'll have lots of media copying freedom as you have control over your hardware. With the new EFI Mactels, trusted computing and HDCP coming you will not.
Actually I wouldn't waste money on a PowerMactel machine until the whole "Blueray/HD-DVD" thing gets straightened out too, that's going to have a lot of baggage associated with it. When they do at least you'll have a Quad to be able to do things you won't be allowed on the PowerMactel w/BlueRay.
Standard definition is going "bye-bye" in the US mandatory by 2009, mostly by 2007. You'll need to go HD as all the new TV sets being sold are HD/digital ready and all the content will switch as well. (HD Is really nice too, but eats hard drive space fast)
1) Currently, I have a Quicksilver G4 with dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb ram and 160 Gb ATA drive. Would FCP 5 Studio work effectively on this machine (for editing, color-correction, motion graphics, rendering to DVD etc)? If not, is it worth investing more money into this machine, or should I switch to a G5?
Yes sure, but if time = money, you'll need CPU muscle to render faster and large RAM to burn faster.
I say get a PPC Quad, a large stock drive with 16MB of cache and a Western Digital 150GB 10,000 RPM RaptorX for a boot/app and "bare bones" home drive, keeping your video on the large stock drive. Get yourself 4Gb of RAM or slightly more, install it yourself and save money by visiting Crucial.com. (no comp)
2) Which G5 would work effectively for my purposes? Kindly advise on clock-speed, RAM, Video card, hard disk etc. I take it I will not need RAID for SD, but only high-definition? I would need to use this machine for at least 3 years. Do you see Apple discontinuing hardware or FCP support for this platform during this time?
Apple will support PPC based hardware for a long time, so will a lot of third party software makers because it's the majority platform. Not much software is available for the Mactel based machines, so PPC and the Quad is the best longterm professional choice at this time. I would also not get the stock card but the next one up.
RAID you can play with later, rolling your own mini-raid set or if you have volume and require speed then a X-RAID.
3) How would the 23" screen be for video-editing? Are there any rumors about a 25" screen replacing it?
I had a 23", it's small, but it will do the job. A couple of inches increase won't make much of a difference IMO. If you got the bucks get a 30", it's awesome and better than two monitors as you don't need to turn your head back and forth. Just sit back and take it all in.
Of course for standard video your going to need a standard monitor anyway for previewing.
4) Lastly, are there any Apple conventions in the next 6 mos (where new products could be announced), which I should wait for, before purchasing?
We just had one, Macworld, where the Mactels were announced, supposely Intel will release a 64 bit dual core around September, Adobe Photoshop supposely won't be ready with a Mactel version for another 14 months it's been estimated.
Apple is working on universal versions of their apps, some are ready already.

How to consume a customer WebService which is outside of SAPs network

Hi,
How to call a WebService-Provider which is running in a foreign/customer network? My WebService Consumer I created on a Netweaver AS 7.11 ABAP which is running in SAPs corporate network.
I think I have to use a Proxy-Server. But how I do that and what are the settings for the Proxy-Server?
Thanks,
Christian

yes, I have created a "Service Consumer" which you call "Service Proxy".
But the problems is the SAP Firewall. I want to call an external "Service Provider" so I need to use a Proxy Server to pass the firewall.
So with the word "Proxy server" I don't mean the "Service Consumer" (I know how to create that). I mean a "Proxy" to go out of SAP corporate network.
But how can I set up a Service Consumer with this proxy and how are the settings for the SAP proxy?
