XREF and Scenario Labelling issues
Hi,I have a separate salaries application that I pull the numbers for the Forecast and Budget Scenarios, using an XREF formula, into the salaries account. As long as this is a dynamic Calc, this works fine, so the formulae are correct.My problem is, that I load actuals directly into that account. With this set to a dynamic calc, it stops storing the numbers for the actuals.What label should I be using for that account, or should I move the calc entirely?ThanksSunil
One solution might be to load the Actuals data to a different member and then reference the Actuals in that member formula using an IF loop...

Packing and Shipper Labels Issue
Dear All,
I have a scenario, where at the time of First Level packing , I have two different packing Materials which get clubbed at the packing stage for packing the finished goods.
Both the packing material have different Labels
For Ex :- Bottom and TOP lid is used to pack the finished goods.
Now, at the time of packing I am selecting the finished goods and both the packing material. When I press the pack button, multiple HU Nos are getting generated for the first packing material and all the material gets packed into the same. No material is getting packed in the second material and only one HU No. is getting generated for the Second material.
I want the HU Nos which is getting generated equally in order to maintain the label output .
Pls. suggest any solutions for the same . Reply ASAP.
Regards
Sriram.S.Hi
Ur HU is not supporting or another words that is not created properly.
go to master data and check the Wt and Vol. unit and value.
also check out whether packaging group material is assigned or not.
thanks

Hi, i'm having issues within the folders area of the library module.
My setup is the following. My home PC has Windows 8.1. My work laptop is a 17" MacBook Pro. The library file as well as the smart previews are all located on a dropbox drive.
My issue is that when i would like to sync changes with the original files located on a 3TB external drive i share with both the PC and Mac, the drive name changes due to Windows using a Drive letter and OSX using a Volume Label. Is there a way to associate; for example H: drive under the folders section with the External Drives Volume label so that i do not have to locate the missing files everytime i wish to synchronise?
Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated as i have switched from Aperture so i can edit my photos easily on both my Home PC and my Laptop.Nope. You can't change operating system mechanics. They simply work differently. For such a scenario in fact a NAS connected via network interface would be more suitable and avoid the issue...

Special MTO Scenario - Costing Issues
Hi,
Not sure if I should post it here or in the FI / CO forum, but here it is ...
I'm in the process of implementing APO in a Aerospace company in Montréal, Canada and we're stuck on an Account Assignment Planning, and Product Costing issue.
Today, all demand / production / movements / costing is done by creating a Project Network.
Here are the current settings:
- Create a project with activities for each major "line section" for major components.
- Each activity has a component allocated to it
- Each activity has a different WBS element assigned to it.
- All production orders/purchase orders/goods movements are created/posted against the WBS elements.
- All stock for MTO parts are assigned to the WBS element
In order to provide better integration with APO and bring more flexibility in the Planning and Simulation processes, we were hoping to stop using Project Networks as the trigger for demand / planning / execution. The idea was to use Sales Orders (or Customer Independent Requirements - CIR) to generate the demand and run APO and MRP planning from it. The special stock segment now becomes linked to the sales order (or CIR) which changes alot of thing in the accounting documents and costs elements in the whole planning and execution processes.
Here is what we were hoping to achieve in order to limit impacts on finance :
- we are implementing APO and would like planning to be performed without using project networks.
- we would like to have planned orders for the top level for long term and be able to trigger the purchasing of long lead time items.
- we would like all goods movements (PO reception, GI to production order etc, ) to be posted to WBS elements
- we would like all production orders to settle to WBS elements
We tried different scenarios with different account assignments categories, but could not find one that fits the bill :
1) we tried using account assignment category "D" which allows assignment to sales order and WBS element. We created CIR as demand.
The problem is the stock is non-valuated which resulted in having no accounting documents for goods issue to production order.
2) we tried account assignment category "Q" with using CIR as demand. We had one WBS element assignment in the CIR. When we changed the WBS value in planned orders to represent each "line section" we ended up with duplicate demand in the original segment and the new segment.
So, is there a scenario with valuated stock that would allow us to do a make-to-order process that would post all costs to WBS?
Thanks,
MarcHi, sorry for the title confusion ... I cannot change it anymore.
I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing.
In our case, the problem is not really linked to the CIFing to APO but more on the Account Assignment Category in ECC and the Customer / Project Stock Segment in MRP.
Since we have a multiple level BOM and that the intermediate levels need to be associate with different WBS element according to major parts of the aircraft.
Here is an example :
Aicraft -- Has its own BOM with major parts as sub assemblies,
Major Parts -- Each Major Parts needs to be linked to a different WBS for costing purpose.
Minor Sub Assemblies -- All cost of producing the Minor Sub Assemblies should be tracked inside the Major Parts WBS.
Components -- All components costs and accounting documents should be tracked inside the Major Parts WBS.
We know that by using a project Network for the Aircraft Level we could create activities for each Major Parts with different WBS, but since we want to do planning in APO, we were hoping to not use PS has a scheduling basis. The integration of PS in APO is still not used a lot and the flexibility of Projects in planning processes is not great.
In resume, we are trying to create the demand from a Sales Order or CIR, but manage costs and accounting documents within WBS for all level in order to limit impacts on the Finance Department. -

1. What is EDI invoices, how it reflects in SAP R3 system
Ans: Quite generally, you create an invoice by a normal way, but after this you generate an output (print document) in the form of an IDOC. This IDOC can be sent to the customer. The process is similar to the standard print output of the invoice. The Idoc should be of a message type INVOIC. The function module is IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC.
There is also a self-billing process with the invoice creation. In this case the customer sends the IDOC for himself. This IDOC must be processed via EDI on Sd side, then the SD invoice will be created. To learn this process, please call the function module IDOC_INPUT_SBINV in the transaction SE37 and the press the button "Function Module Documentation". The SBINV process can be realized via EDI only.

3. What is the usage of configuration nprofile in variant configuration
Ans: configuaration profile is a place where we will configure configurable material (mmk1) with class type 300 and class which u have defined. Here the values of variant characteristics will be stored
or
a). We use the configuration profile to assign the configurable material to one or more variant classes. This links the material to the characteristics of the class for configuration.
b).You can define settings that affect the display options and scope of characteristics on the
value assignment screen. (i.e. CU50)
c). You can use the configuration profile to assign dependencies to a configurable object.
d). For maintaining configuration parameters for BOM explosion.
You maintain the configuration parameters for a configurable general maintenance task list in the configuration profile.
The settings that you make here also concern the BOM explosion for the piece of material. In addition, at least one class, whose class type allows variant configuration, must be assigned to each configuration profile. The class contains the characteristics that the system proposes for characteristic evaluation when you create a maintenance or service order.
4. What do you mean by tickets? Could you please give me some examples of tickets?
Ans: Tickets in SD can be considered as the problems which the end user or the employee in the company face while working on R/3. Tickets usually occur during the implementation or after the implementation of the project.
There can be numerous problem which can occur in the production support and a person who is working in the support has to resolve those tickets in the limited duration, every ticket has the particular deadline alert so your responsibility is to finish it before that deadline.
End user is not able to
1. Create Sales order for a customer from a New plant, since shipping point determination is not happened. (Without Shipping point the document becomes INCOMPLETE and he will not be able to proceed further like DELIVERY, BILLING).
He raises a ticket and the priority is set in one of the below
1.Low 2. Medium 3. High.
Now you need to solve this ticket. You would analyze the problem and identify that the SP configuration has to be done for the new plant.
You would request a transport for DEV CLIENT to BASIS. You do the change and Request one more Transport to BASIS for QA client. The End user will test the same by creating a sales order for the new plant and approve it.
Finally u request a transport to move the changes to PRODUCTION.
Once the change is deployed in production the TICKET is closed.
What I have given is a small ex. You would get some real issues with severity HIGH in your day-day support

5. What is the difference between sales process and business process?
Ans. Sales Process: is also a business process where in only sales related activities are involved. I.e. for e.g.: sales order, purchase order, etc.,
Business Process: any activity or business event where in business is involved we can those processes as Business Process
BUSINESS PROCESS: Sequentially and logically related series of processes and functions for an internal or external target group to deliver a defined good or service. The R/3 Reference Model provides sample business processes in scenarios as EPCs.
6. What is the difference between transit time and transportation time
Ans:
Transit time: time taken by the material to reach customers place. for eg: this is the time period right after the goods have left the shipping point of the business to the customer till the goods are received by the customer at his place..
Transportation time: time taken to schedule the materials by shipping company. For eg: this is the time period right from the material manufacturing to the delivery of the material to the customer.
Transit time: is the time taken by the material to reach customers place.
Transportation time: is the time taken to schedule the materials by shipping company.
7. What is the difference between free goods and bonus buy?
Ans. Free goods are either inclusive or exclusive if a customer orders for 10 products he will get 1 free for that no price is charged this is exclusive scenario
If a customer orders 10 products he will get 9+1 for 1 product he will not charged this inclusive scenario
For bonus buy if a customer orders regularly 10 products in one occasion if he orders 1000 products he will be given less price than the price he will get for 10 products this bonus buy scenario
Or
Free goods are considered to be merchandise, moveable belongings or personal property. Free goods are those which economists are not interested in because in free goods doe not offer the opportunity for creating a cost for usage. The best example of free goods is air because there is no scarcity of air. Economists are interested only in goods, which can be manipulated to create cost for usage. Free goods are plentiful; you have as much as you want without a chance for future cost to society.
A bonus buy refers to any product manufactured or otherwise made available for purchase at a lower cost for a certain period of time. A bonus buy can relate to food, cars, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank loans or almost any product you can think of.
Examples of Bonus buys are: buy one and get one free, 20% original price, 15% Reduced Mortgage today.
Free Goods: Free goods :
A bonus buy refers to any product manufactured or otherwise made available for purchase at a lower cost for a certain period of time. A bonus buy can relate to food, cars, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank loans or almost any product you can think of.
Examples of Bonus buys are: buy one and get one free, 20% original price, 15% Reduced Mortgage today.
Bonus Buy: [VBK1] T.Code
example TV---10000
DVD 5000
total 15000
if u go for bonus buy u will get both for 12000
8. What is the difference between static and dynamic in credit management
Ans: Static Credit Limit Check
The customer's credit exposure may not exceed the established credit limit. The credit exposure is the total combined value of the following documents:
- Open orders
- Open deliveries
- Open billing documents
- Open items (accounts receivable)
The open order value is the value of the order items which have not yet been delivered. The open delivery value is the value of the delivery items which have not yet been invoiced. The open invoice value is the value of the billing document items which have not yet been forwarded to accounting. The open items represent documents that have been forwarded to accounting but not yet settled by the customer.
Dynamic Credit Limit Check with Credit Horizon
The customer's credit exposure is split into a static part; open items, open billing, and delivery values (see above), and a dynamic part, the open order value. The open order value includes all undelivered or only partially delivered orders. The value is calculated on the shipping date and stored in an information structure according to a time period that you specify (days, weeks, or months). When you define the credit check, you can then specify a particular horizon date in the future (for example: 10 days or 2 months, depending on the periods you specify). For the purposes of evaluating credit, you want the system to ignore all open orders that are due for delivery after the horizon date. The sum of the static and dynamic parts of the check may not exceed the credit limit.
Main difference is horizon period is related for dynamic check not for static check
SIMPLE CREDIT CHECK: Tr.Code - FD32
It Considers the Doc.Value + Open Items.
Doc.Value: Sales Order has been saved but not delivered
Open Item: Sales Order has been saved, Delivered, Billed & Transferred to FI, but not received the payment from the customer.
Eg: Customer Credit Limit is Rs.1,00,000/-
Suppose Doc.Value + Open Item Value is Rs.1,10,000/-
Here credit limit exceeds then system reacts.
Options: A) Warning Message
B) Error Message (Sales Order won't be saved)
C) Error Message with Delivery Block
AUTOMATIC CREDIT CHECK: Give extra credit facilities to the particular customer.
STATIC CREDIT LIMIT DETERMINATION: Checking Group + Risk Catageory + Credit Control Area.
A) Credit Checking Groups: Types of Checking Groups.
01) Sales
02) Deliveries
03) Goods Issue
At all the above 3 levels orders can be blocked.
B) Risk Catageory: Based on the risk Categories Company decide how much credit has to give to the customer.
HIGH RISK (0001) : LOW CREDIT
LOW RISK (0002) : MORE CREDIT
MEDIUM RISK(0003) : Average Credit
Static Credit Check it checks all these doc value & check with the credit limit
1) Open Doc.Value / Sales Order Value : Which is save but not delivered
2) Open Delivery Doc.Value : Which is delivered but not billed
3) Open Billing Doc.Value : Which is billed but not posted to FI
4) Open Item : Which is transferred to FI but not received from the customer.
DYNAMIC CREDIT CHECK : 1) Open Doc
2) Open Delivery
3) Open Billing
4) Open Items
5) Horizon Period = Eg.3Months
Here the System will not consider the above 1,2,3& 4 values for the lost 3 months
Then assign the Sales Doc & Del Documents.
Sales Doc.Type(OR) + credit Check (0) + Credit Group (01)
Credit Limit Check for Delivery Type : Del.Type (LF) + Del Credit
Group (02) + Goods Issue Credit Group (03)
9. Difference between 4.6 version and 4.6c ,4.7ee
Ans. There are so many differences between the versions in different objects
1. In the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code and also there is no CIN tab in that version but it is there in the 4.7 EE version
This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE
2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN
But we can do the same in the 6.0 versions
These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects

10. Where is rebate define for quantity REBATE
Ans: Following explains how to create a rebate agreement, test it using a sales order and billing it. Then settling it partially or fully using a rebate credit memo. Please use the basic procedure and tweak your IMG settings according to your unique requirements.
Rebate processing:
1. First requirement is that the rebate processing must be active for
a. the customer ( check in customer master) ,
b. for the billing type ( check in IMG > Billing > rebate processing > active rebate processing > select billing documents for rebate processing. )
c. For the sales organization:
( check in IMG > Billing> rebate processing > active rebate processing > Active rebate processing for sales org. )
2. Next create a rebate agreement for this us T-code VB01. For the rebate agreement type you can choose either 0001
(group rebate) or 0002 material rebate or 0003 (customer rebate) etc
b. Enter your rebate conditions. Dont forget to enter the accrual rate here.
3. Now test your rebate functionality: create a sales order for the particular customer, sales org (ensure that the billing type used in your sales order is relevant for rebate). Create outbound delivery, transfer order to do picking and post goods issue.
4. Now go to T.Code VB03 and check your rebate by choosing conditions, selecting the condition line and choosing payment data. You will see that the accruals and business volume are updated when accounting doc is created for billing.
5. Settling your rebates:
Once your rebates have been accrued you need to settle the rebate.
For this first release the rebate for settlement by using T.Code VB02. As a trial basis choose B (you can choose other settings based on your requirement) and choose Create manual accrual. Now enter the amount to be paid and save the rebate agreement.
6. Next display your rebate agreement using T.Code VB03.
Enter your rebate agreement number. Next choose rebate payments > Rebate documents and select partial settlement. Click on the choose button to note down your credit request number.
7. Use T.Code VA02 and release the billing block for your credit request. (Use item overview tab)
8. Now use VF01 to create a rebate credit memo by entering the credit memo request number and save it
9. Now release the credit memo to accounting using vf02.
Quantity Rebate:
In rebate agreement details we will define the rebate basis whether it is the quantity rebate or volume based rebate.
Rebate Agreements
A rebate is a special discount which is paid retroactively to a customer. This discount is based on the customer's sales volume over a specified time period.
You can process rebate agreements when the following prerequisite conditions are met:
sales org is relevant for rebate processing
payer (customer master record) is relevant for rebate processing
billing type (invoice, credit memo) is relevant for rebate processing
Condition types for rebate agreements:
BO01 Customer/Material or Customer/Rebate group = % rebate
BO02 Customer/Material = quantity dependent
BO03 Customer = % rebate
BO04 - Customer hierarchy = % rebate
BO05 Customer hierarchy/Material = % rebate
BO06 Sales vol independent
Creating Rebate Agreements
Logistics Sales and distribution Master data
Agreements Rebate agreement Create
To create a condition record for a rebate agreement:
When youcreating or changing rebate agreements, Conditions to get to the can create condition records by choosing Goto Agreement Overview screen.
Enter the data necessary to create a condition record (for example: customer and condition rate).
Choose ENTER.
If you do not enter a value for the accrual rate, the system automatically proposes the value you entered as the condition rate.
To create a pricing scale for a condition record, select the condition record and choose Scales.
To display or change details in a condition record, select the condition record and choose Details.
It is possible to see an overview of condition records that already exist in other rebate agreements and that have the same key combination (customer/material, customer/rebate group, and so on).
To view the list, select Validity periods.
You is to becan set for each rebate agreement whether it Rebate calendar renewed automatically or not. Select Extras Reactivate or Remove in the Change Rebate mode.
Rebate Process with Ref. to SO
Rebate agreemnts is based on agreement types.Conditon records which are created like B001 and B002 are linked to the rebate agreeements specifying the rebate rate + the accrual rates.condition records specify the rebate rate and the accrual rates.
Consider an example..
You decided to give a rebate of 3% to a customer whose sales vol is $1000 for a particular SO
Then the rebate value is $30..
Now when you make the rebate settlement by doiing the Credit memo and you decide to pay $27, then the accounting will be generated saying 27$ paid towards rebate and 3$ is the accrual which you owe to the customer
Procedure:
Rebate agreement: Transaction code: VB01
When you go to VB01, choose agreement type 0002 and then in conditions give
Material rebate
1 20
20 30
Now create a sales order with a material say M-11 for SOrg 1000 12 00 with QTY 6
Now check VB03 and see rebate agreemtent it will say Accruals 120 and payments 0
since your rebate is not settled still.
Rebate setllement
Go to VB02 enter ur sales deal no, and change the agreemetn status to B then enter Shift+F12 and enter the amount to be paid for example u say $80
Then check in rebate payments rebate doc and partial setllemetn since you have not paid in full.
View the credit memo request
Remove the Billing bloock Go to VA01 and put order type G2 ,,,go to create with ref and enter ur Sales order no,,,save the doc now...
Then go to VF01 and enter the credit memo reqst no generated...save the doc no and go to VF02 and say release to accounting
Now the final settlement will be this way
Accruals:120
Accrual reversed:80
Rebate pay:80
Amount payable:40
So the balance 40 is still the accrual
This is an example how a rebate will be processed with ref to a SO with an example.

13. What is gap analysis and when it will be use in the time of project.
Ans: Business blue print stage is called as is process. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis. In this stage, we should analysis the gap between as is and is as process
GAP Analysis
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications (ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
Cut Over Plans
Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
Train Users
Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better. Fit gap means, before implementing the SAP all the business data is in the form of documents, we cannot keep this data as is in the SAP. There should be a gap. So by filling this gap, we make configuration with the help of these documents. This is called as fit gap analysis.
GAP Analysis
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customized software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications (ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage
The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly, however, missing functionality is industry-specific.
Examples:
1. MGM Studios and Lycos sometime back worked with SAP to develop its new intellectual property management and media advertising management functionality, respectively.
2. A leading Oral care product company wanted the promotion of free-goods where they wanted 'Buy one get 2 different products free'.
2 gaps are, In customer master data the client requirement needs legacy customer number which can be solved with User exit.,
In sales order we need customer Phone number, We can use user exit
These 2 are gaps, which we cant, find in Standard SAP
1. If client want new field in customer master like nearest fire station..
2. Order will be uploaded directly with out va01. Through BDC... bcoz lot of orders if they get daily, they can opt these...
Movement type 1 uses when a material have two movement types. Like example 101 and 261. One is incoming raw material and going for production...
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.

Cut Over Plans Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
Train Users Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.

14. How to get cash sale invoice with rd03 and tell me the process cashsale delivery and invoice please?
15. What is the difference between rebate and discount?
Ans: Rebate is nothing but this is also a type of discount given by the business but unlike Discount this is not given immediately to the customer, say rebates are given after a certain amount of purchase is reached by the customer, or during a particular period of time, whereas in Discount the customer is benefited by a reduce of bill amount immediately when a purchase is done by the customer.
Rebate is a partial repayment, whereas a refund is a repayment of the total purchase price and Discount is reduction in Price
Or
Rebate: an incentive to be given to a customer. Clubbed with qty purchased by a customer within the period specified (say one month)-conditional.
Discount: unconditional, to be given to a customer on account of heavy purchase by one single billing. From the price List (Base price).

RMAN BACKUPS AND ARCHIVED LOG ISSUES
제품 : RMAN
작성날짜 : 2004-02-17
RMAN BACKUPS AND ARCHIVED LOG ISSUES
=====================================
Scenario #1:
1)RMAN이 모든 archived log들을 삭제할 때 실패하는 경우.
database는 두 개의 archive destination에 archive file을 생성한다.
다음과 같은 스크립트를 수행하여 백업후에 archived redo logfile을 삭제한다.
run {
allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape';
backup database;
backup archivelog all delete input;
Archived redo logfile 삭제 유무를 확인하기 위해 CROSSCHECK 수행시 다음과
같은 메시지가 발생함.
RMAN> change archivelog all crosscheck;
RMAN-03022: compiling command: change
RMAN-06158: validation succeeded for archived log
RMAN-08514: archivelog filename=
/oracle/arch/dest2/arcr_1_964.arc recid=19 stamp=368726072
2) 원인분석
이 문제는 에러가 아니다. RMAN은 여러 개의 arhive directory중 하나의
directoy안에 있는 archived file들만 삭제한다. 그래서 나머지 directory안의
archived log file들은 삭제되지 않고 남게 되는 것이다.
3) 해결책
RMAN이 강제로 모든 directory안의 archived log file들을 삭제하게 하기 위해서는
여러 개의 채널을 할당하여 각 채널이 각 archive destination안의 archived file을
백업하고 삭제하도록 해야 한다.
이것은 아래와 같이 구현될 수 있다.
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape';
allocate channel t2 type 'sbt_tape';
backup
archivelog like '/oracle/arch/dest1/%' channel t1 delete input
archivelog like '/oracle/arch/dest2/%' channel t2 delete input;
Scenario #2:
1)RMAN이 archived log를 찾을 수 없어 백업이 실패하는 경우.
이 시나리오에서 database를 incremental backup한다고 가정한다.
이 경우 RMAN은 recover시 archived redo log대신에 incremental backup을 사용할
수 있기 때문에 백업 후 모든 archived redo log를 삭제하기 위해 OS utility를 사용한다.
그러나 다음 번 backup시 다음과 같은 Error를 만나게 된다.
RMAN-6089: archive log NAME not found or out of sync with catalog
2) 원인분석
이 문제는 OS 명령을 사용하여 archived log를 삭제하였을 경우 발생한다. 이때 RMAN은
archived log가 삭제되었다는 것을 알지 못한다. RMAN-6089는 RMAN이 OS 명령에 의해
삭제된 archived log가 여전히 존재하다고 생각하고 백업하려고 시도하였을 때 발생하게 된다.
3) 해결책
가장 쉬운 해결책은 archived log를 백업할 때 DELETE INPUT option을 사용하는 것이다.
예를 들면
run {
allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape';
backup archivelog all delete input;
두 번째로 가장 쉬운 해결책은 OS utility를 사용하여 archived log를 삭제한 후에
다음과 같은 명령어를 RMAN prompt상에서 수행하는 것이다.
RMAN>allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
RMAN>change archivelog all crosscheck;
Oracle 8.0:
RMAN> change archivelog '/disk/path/archivelog_name' validate;
Oracle 8i:
RMAN> change archivelog all crosscheck ;
Oracle 9i:
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all ;
catalog의 COMPATIBLE 파라미터가 8.1.5이하로 설정되어 있으면 RMAN은 찾을 수 없는
모든 archived log의 status를 "DELETED" 로 셋팅한다. 만약에 COMPATIBLE이 8.1.6이상으로
설정되어 있으면 RMAN은 Repository에서 record를 삭제한다.Very strange, I issue following command in RMAN on both primary and standby machine, but it they don't delete the 1_55_758646076.dbf, I find in v$archived_log, this "/home/oracle/app/oracle/dataguard/1_55_758646076.dbf" had already been applied.
RMAN> connect target /
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

Gmail/Exchange email and calendar syncing issues
I have wiped my email accounts several times and entered in my data in the various ways as shown through the forums but my email accounts do no sync properly whether it is manual or active synced.
I read my emails in my gmail and my Microsoft exchange account and will delete or file them away but then when I check my accounts on my desktop, they are not synced as I've done so on my phone. I've also noticed that my calendars are not synced correctly either.
Could someone help me understand why and how these issues can be fixed? I'm in meetings for most of the day so I rely on my phone to keep me mobile. Was this a bad purchase?!?!Hi JadeyMU,
How do you have your Microsoft Exchange account configured on your BlackBerry Z10? Are you using ActiveSync, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), IMAP or POP?
Thanks.

My experience with Apple TV and HDMI/HDCP issues
I am convinced that it is the software update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing this issue. All forms of applications only worked once for me and then it reverted back to HDCP issues. I read several postings everywhere including plenty at Apple's forum and AVS where people were very frustrated with this HDCP issues. Anyways, here is what I did before taking it back to Apple store....I bought AUVIO high speed cables from Radio Shack which is rated very high and tried that and I still got HDCP issues when using NetFlix or AirPlay from iPad. Youtube from Apple TV always worked well without HDCP complaints.
I packed everything back and took it to Apple Store (you can return without re-stocking fee up to 14 days from the day of purchase). After 14 days, you cannot even return it and you can ONLY fix it. I waited for a Technician. They heard my complaints but didn't refute any of it (possibly because they have had numerous complaints on this product). It took 5 minutes inside for them to test and see similar issues with the box that I had. So, they have swapped it for a new box. Before I left the store, I checked the settings including software version and Audio/Video settings in the Apple TV that is connected at the store. I found three main differences none of which the Apple customer service staff agreed could be the reason for my problems (surprise!!)
1. The software update from the shelf and the one they were using was NOT updated to 4.2.2 (it was still running 4.2.1)
2. Because of the software update, the Audio/Video setting for HDMI had the options to toggle between Auto, RGBy, RGBhi & RGBlo bandwidth. I believe this was in place to make the HDMI interface output as component with higher or lower bandwidth but the newer update will ONLY give you the Auto option (!!!)
3. They had this directly Ethernet wired and not through Wireless network and were recieving the all the full bar strength signals. On the box that I returned, eventhough I have 18 Mbps speed at the house (any given time of the day), the Network speed test was taking a long time. Moreover, after the Apple TV network test, it doesn't spit out the outcome of the tests (a BIG bummer and useless for testing).
Anyways, I took the new box and hooked it up directly to my SONY BRAVIA XBR3 TV to one of the HDMI ports, disabled the feature to send or recieve data to Apple directly and did NOT update the software. It worked fine and have tested all of the options. From what I have read so far (I have only spent 30 hours of my weekend on this when Apple product hookups are supposed to take 5 minutes ONLY), there is NO guarantee that it will work continuously as people have had things work on them for 6 months and then suddenly have the HDCP issues.
Will wait to see....if it continues to work....I figured it out. Had to go to general settings on the main screen and restart. Synch of audio is much better.

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4Hi Josh,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
Thanks.

Interesting and an imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.
hi all,
interesting and an imporatant issue at sales order schedule line.
i created a sales order with 10 qty.and the system proposed a two schedule lines.
let's say to order created date is 27.11.2008.and the requested delivery date is 27.11.2008.
but the stock is not available today then the system proposed two more schedule lines apart from the 27.11.2008.so now there are three schedule lines like below.
schedule line date Material availabilyt date delivery date
27.10.2008 with zero quantity.
28.10.2008 with 5 qty. 28.10.2008 29.10.2008
02.10.2008 with 5 qty. 02.10.2008 03.10.2008
now the delivery and pgi already for the schedule line 28.10.2008.
then when i run the availability check on 01.11.2008 system is over writing the material vailability date as today at the scheduleline number two.
now i can able to view only two schedule lines only.
schedule line date Material availabilyt date delivery date
28.10.2008 with 5 qty. 01.11.2008 29.10.2008
02.10.2008 with 5 qty. 01.11.2008 02.11.2008
now my concern when we reschedule the avalability check it should notchange the Material availability date of the schedule line which i already delivered.
Regards,
sheshukumarcan any one repsond for this.....

Doubt in concepts and scenarios where used
doubt in differentiating and scenarios for below.
statistics Vs document update - i already know the definitions of V1 V2 V3 updates, pls dont give defn links
conditions Vs global filters in QD and scenarios
btree/bitmap index and scenarios
reconstruction Vs repair and scenarios
already searched forums, didnt get satisfactory answer.
pls suggest.
Edited by: Swetha N on Jan 20, 2012 10:10 AMConditions - You want to get the top 10 customers, you can use condition to get the same. done during the execution, before displayign the data. last step in the report execution.
Filters - You can filter only particular plant, customer etc. will be done before query execution, kind of starting point for qery execution.
Btree / Bit map - in addition to Venkatesh said - Bit Map is read optimized and B Tree is write optimized.
Reconstruction - used in 3.x flow. if a request got deleted by request you can retriev it. Go to reconstruction tab and select the request and do reconstruction.
Repair - I guess you are asking repair full request, if it so, it is a way to pull the data from R3. with some selection that can be defined at the info package for example you found one purchase order with some incorrect data, what you do is delete selectively the purchase order from the system and do full repail request. You can define the same at info provider level.
Document update - you change a Purchase order from Me22n, the document will get update in the r/3 backend table EKKO EKPO etc. Statistical update is from the R/3 reporting table perspective, these are LIS tables. -
I downloaded CS6 and am having issues with my print driver. It is not compatible with the HP 2600n and have tried to download drivers given to me by adobe ( (Jupiter 3) but it is not working. after a few days. Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?
Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Report Builder - Last page issue and Report Footer issue
I am using ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, am new to this product and encountering 2 issues.
Issue 1 - I have a field that I would like to print on the last page of my report. How can I determine the last page? I initially tried using a calculated field set to the 'highest' calc.Page_Number. Then I could compare the current page to the last page in the 'Print When' property. But calc.Page_Number can not be used in a definition of a calculated field.
Issue 2 - Depending on the amount of report detail, sometimes my report footer prints alone, without a page header and page footer. The report includes this page in the total number of pages. For example, if it is a 2 page report, the page header on page 1 will display Page 1 of 2. Then the only data on Page 2 is the Report Footer. No page header or page footer prints.
Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated. To date, using the Report Builder has not been easy.To issue 1: The report contains a report band called report footer. thsi is always at the last page. The report footer band initially is collapsed, so you have to expand it by dragging the last band divider.
To issue 2: I guess this is a page break calculating error when detail data reaches really near the page footer area.
Try some experiments with different setting of the following properties/issues:
- in elements, e.g. calculating fields in the bands between report detail and page footer: In Properties / Print Control / Printing Options: Activate the option "Remove line when blank". This will remove the whole report band area if this field is blank. May save some empty space.
- try to remove unused empty space between detail rows.
- try to resize and reposition all detail fields so that they snap to the grid.
Best regards -

The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Profile and Device Manager Issues
The following article also applies to issues after re-setting the severs' hostname. It also applies to situations where re-setting the Code Signing Certifictateas described by Apple has not resolved the issue.
Hello,
I have been plagued with Profile Manager and Device Manager issues since day one.
I would like to share my experience and to suggest a way how to resolve issues such as device cannot be enrolled or Code Signing Certificate not accepted.
I shall try to be as brief as possible, just giving an overview of the steps that resolved my issues. The individual steps have been described elsewhere in this forum. For users who have purchased commercial SSL certs the following may not apply.
In my view many of these issues are caused by missing or faulty certificates. So let us first touch on the very complex matter of certificates.
Certificates come in many flavours such as CA (Certificate Authority), Code Signing Certificate, S/MIME and Server Identification.
(Mountain?) Lion Server creates a so-called Intermediate CA certificate (IntermediateCA_hostname_1") and Server Identification Certificate ("hostname") when it installs first. This is critical for the operation of many server functionalities, including Open Direcory. These certs together with the private/public keys can be found in your Keychain. Profile and Device Manager may need a Code Signing Certificate.
The most straightforward way to resolve the Profile Manaher issues is in my view to reset the server created certicates.
The bad news is that this procedure involves quite a few steps and at least 2 hours of your precious time because it means creating a fresh Direcory Master.
I hope that I have not forgotten to mention an important step. Readers' comments and addenda are welcome.
I shall outline a sensible strategy:
1. Clone your dysfunctional server to an external harddrive (SuperDuper does a reliable job)
2. Start the server fom the clone and shut down ALL services.
3. It may be sensible to set up a root user access.
4. Back-up all user data such as addess book, calendar and other data that you *may* need to set up your server.
5. Open Workgroup Manager and export all user and workgroup accounts to the drive that you using to re-build your server (it may cause problems if you back-up to an external drive).
6. Just in case you may also want to back-up the Profile Manager database and erase user profiles:
In Terminal (this applies to Lion Server - paths may be diferent in Mountain Lion !)
Backup: sudo pg_dump -U _postgres -c device_management > $HOME/device_management.sql
Erase database:
sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
7. Note your Directory (diradmin) password for later if you want to re-use it.
8. Open Open Server Admin and demote OD Master to Standalone Directory.
9. In Terminal delete the old Certificate Authority
sudo rm -R /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/Certificate\ Authority/
This step is crucial because else re-building you OD Master will fail.
9. Go back to Server Admin and promote the Standalone Directory to OD Master. You may want to use the same hostname.
10. When the OD Master is ready click on Overview and check that the LDAP and Keberos Realm reflect your server's hostname.
11. Go back to Workgroup Manager and re-import users and groups.
NOTE: passwords are not being exported. I do not know how to salvage user passwords. (Maybe passwords can be recovered by re-mporting an OD archive - comments welcome! ).
12. Go to Server App and reset passwords and (not to forget) user homefolder locations, in particular if you want to login from a network account!
If the home directory has not been defined you cannot login from a network account.
13. You may now want to restore Profile Manager user profiles in Terminal. Issue the following commands:
sudo serveradmin stop devicemgr
sudo serveradmin start postgres
sudo psql -U _postgres -d device_management -f $HOME/device_management.sql
sudo serveradmin start devicemgr
14. You can now switch back on your services, including Profile Manager.
In Profile Manager you may have to configure Device Management. This creates a correct Code Signng Certicate.
15. Check the certificate settings in Server App -> Hadware -> Settings-> SSL Certificates.
16. Check that Apple Push Notifications are set.(you easily check if they are working later)
17. You may want to re-boot OS Server from the clone now.
18. After re-boot open Server App and check that your server is running well.
19. Delete all profiles in System Preferences -> Profiles.
19. Login to Profile Manager. You should have all users and profiles back. In my experience devices have to be re-enrolled before profiles can be pushed and/or devices be enrolled. You may just as well delete the displayed devices now.
20. Grab one of your (portable) Macs that you want to enrol and go to (yourhostname)/mydevices and install the server's trust profile. The profile's name should read "Trust Profile for...) and underneath in green font "Verified".
21. Re-enrol that device. At this stage keep your finger's crossed and take a deep breath.
22. If the device has been successfully enrolled you may at last want to test if pushing profiles really works. Login to Profile Manager as admin, select the newly enrolled device. Check that Automatic Push is enabled (-> Profile -> General). Create a harmless management profile such as defining the dock's position on the target machine. (Do not forget to click SAVE at the end - this is easily missed here). If all is well Profile Manager will display an active task (sending) and the dock's position on the target will have changed in a few seconds if you are on a LAN (Note: If sending seems to take forever: check on the server machine and/or on your router that the proper ports are open and that incoming data is not intercepted by Little Snitch or similar software).
Note: if you intend to enrol an Apple iPhone you may first need to install the proper Apple Configuration software.
Now enjoy Profile and Device Manager !

1. In Action profiles, logon to system and recheck correcion are available in action definition as well in condition configuration and the schedule condition is also maintained. but the display is not coming(i.e in the worklist this action is not getting displayed).
You can check the schedule condition for the action and match the status values...or try recreating the action with schedule condition again....for customer specific ....copy the standard aciton with ur zname and make a schedule condition and check the same.
