XSan backend compatability.

Is XSan tied to XRaid or can you use other fibre channel drive systems as the back end? We have a DotHill FC disk array an are considering attaching a couple of XServe G5's to form a cluster. However, from my reading you need XSan in order to manage multple access to the disk farm, is this correct and if so can we use our existing disks or would we need to buy an XRaid box.
Thanks
Ian

Got the kit anyway.

Xsan will not mount on clients

Xsan updated recently to 1.4. Problem started on 1.3 Working fine until reboot of one of the client computers. Now Xsan volume will not mount on any client. Updated to 1.4, ran cvfsck. Still no go. Volume is over 90%. I have read that this may cause issues. How can I get files off if I cannot mount? Thanks!

Try the following:
From finder -->Go --> Go to folder --> /Volumes
Delete the alias for the XSAN volume you want to mount.
For whatever reason the alias sticks even if the volume was unmounted. Below is an explanation from Apple.
Xsan mounts will fail if they have the same name
Xsan will not mount any volume that has the same name as any existing volume or folder located at /Volumes/.
Unlike some mounting mechanisms that automatically resolve name conflicts (for example, the Finder will append characters to each mounted volume name), the Xsan backend agent simply won't mount the volumes.
To avoid this issue, create a unique name for each volume to be mounted.

Xsan 3 backwards compatibility

Will the new Xsan client included in Lion and Lion Server be backwards compatible with Xsan 2.1.1? Is Xsan 2.2 backwards compatible with Xsan 2.1.1? The reason I ask is that I have Xsan 2.1.1 running on two old G5 servers, and I am concerned about the path to moving onto an Intel server in the future. If the new Lion client/controller built into Lion is made to be backwards compatible, it will be a simple matter for me to connect a new Thunderbolt enabled Mini Server (when they become available <crosses fingers>) and have the new server take over as the primary Xsan controller. Add another Mini Server, and I can take the two G5's offline finally.
Otherwise, I will have to get a large Thunderbolt RAID, copy all my data to that RAID (a 3+ day prospect), tear down the existing Xsan, recreate it with a new server and then copy the data back again (another 3+ day prospect). This is not an acceptable upgrade strategy, and I hope very much Apple takes this into account this time. The last upgrade from Xsan1 to Xsan2 was fraught with peril, and I navigated those waters only after carefully digesting everything I could on the matter.

Flex 3 requires player 9.0.115. But, in FB3 you can set the
compatibility version so you can compile against the Flex 2 SDK
which can be run by earlier versions of the player.
To do this select Project > Properties > Flex Compiler.
Select "Use a Specific SDK" and then select Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix
from the drop down.

Release: 604
Support Pack: SAPKH60402
Level: 0002
Existing CRM 5.0
Component: BBPCRM
Release: 500
Support Pack: SAPKU50006
Level: 0006
Thanks,

Hi Amirsd,
You will need to use your Solution manager system to apply EHP 4 to your newly installed system.
Use MOPZ to generate XML file which contains the packages to be downloaded to upgrade your current system to EHP 4.0
After that download EHPI tool from SAP Marketplace and use EHPI tool to install downloaded packages.
It would run in 7 phases including downtime phase.
Let me know if you have any queries. !!!!

Azure remote App with Azure SQL Backend

Hi, If I had an application which utilised a SQL backend could I host the front end in Azure remote app and the backend on an Azure SQL database or would I need to use IAAS to provide the backend?
Many thanks
James

Hi James,
If the application is designed to be compatible with Azure SQL Database then yes, you can use Azure RemoteApp for the frontend and Azure SQL Database for the backend. If the application is not compatible with Azure SQL Database then you would
need to use SQL Server running in an IaaS VM, or SQL Server running in an on-premises VM. The IaaS VM or SQL Database should be in the same Azure region as the RemoteApp collection in order to minimize latency.
For example, say you have an internally-developed application that uses SQL Server 2012 as its backend database. Before you would be able to use Azure SQL Database you would first need to migrate the database to Azure SQL Database and make any changes
necessary to the application and/or database for compatibility. The SQL Database Migration Wizard is helpful for this process.

SAP R/3 much compable on Backend databse Oracle/SQL

Hi,
We are going to start SAP R/3 new dimensional products implementation. Client wanted to know that which backend databse is very much compatable for SAP.
If some one have much idea on that can please help different comparisions on SAP On Oracle / SQL .
Thanks
kristene

Hello Kristene,
I cannot explicitly recommend any database over others, but since I work with MAXDB, I thought I can give you knowledge on its features.
MAXDB (i.e. SAPDB) is very easy to administer, requires no reorganization, and is quite easy to learn (especially by those who have worked with other databases). There are also SAP classes you can take to learn more about MAXDB.
It has all the technical features needed by an SAP database (ACID-compliant, supports transactions, views, triggers, procedures), works with external backup tools, etc. SAP contributes significant development efforts towards MAXDB. Support for SAP customers is provided by SAP like any other SAP product. MAXDB has a full set of administration tools, and is also integrated into the SAP CCMS monitors.
As others have mentioned, it is also the least expensive database for SAP to run on, because of lower license and maintenance fees.
For more info, please see https://service.sap.com/maxdb --> on the LHS menu, click on 'MaxDB' --> 'MaxDB/SAP DB Customers' for a list of helpful documents.
Please let me know if you've any questions about MAXDB.
Thanks,

Installation of SAP Netweaver 7.0 with SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70 backend

Hello everybody,
I need to install an SAP Netweaver 7.0 environment for a client who is currently using SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70. However, I couldn't find any document about the compatibility of the two.
Does anybody know if it is possible to connect these versions of Netweaver and R/3?
Could you please tell me where I could get some documentation about it (for example : intallation guide of netweaver with SAP R/3 4.7 or docs about netweaver and R/3 4.7 connectivity) ?
Thank you.
Stan

OK thanks.
The final need is to be able to create purchase requisitions or purchase orders in the enterprise portal with a simplified user interface for users who are not used to working with SAP and don't have the SAP client installed on their computer.
So they will use their web browser to connect to the portal and create the requisition for example. Then we wan't the data to be stored in the R/3 backend et other users will validate the requisition and deal with the rest of the process.
The second step will be to study the benefits we could get from installing Adobe document services and creating an adobe interactive form to simplify even more the user interface. The users would then fill the data for the purchase order or requisition directly in the form that looks like the form they get when printing.
I saw that we have to install the "R/3Plug-In 2004.1" in the backend to use our SAP 4.7 as a data source for the Portal.
Do you know if there are other steps to perform in the backend before we link it to the portal ?
Thank you
Stan

XSANE no devices available

Hi,
I used XSANE for scanning for a couple of months, but couple of days ago, it started to tell me that no devices are available.
I have HP Photosmart C3180.
I added my user to scanner group.
I ran sane-find-scanner under my user, gave back no scanners.
I ran sane-find-scanner under root, gave back this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x5611 [Photosmart C3100 series]) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
tried scanimage -L, which gave me:
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
I reinstalled xsane, I tried deleting xsane from .sane at ~, I tried switching it on before the PC. Nothing worked.
I had some problems with my external harddrives (connected via USB 2) because of HAL update (policikit conf editing solved this). Couldn't the HAL cause this problem 2?
Any sugestions?
Thanks. Joenas

Joenas wrote:ok, so XSANE doesnt support it...so what should I do for scanning, any1 scanning with something else then XSANE?
Anyway its strange that it just stopped working... isnt there anyway to tell XSANE that my C3180 is some C3100, that is actually supported (some related scanner) to make it work?
Thx. Joenas
Yeah, It worked with xsane.
I bought the same exact Printer from salvation army for $10 (I think they got it from circuit city when they close all of their stores) and it worked in ubuntu out of the box. (Or at least the scanning function. No ink) But I'm having the same problem with arch and I don't know how ubuntu gets that to work so I can do the same in arch.
Edit: I installed hplip, Did what the post install message said, installed the optional dependencies, edited the /etc/user file and put my name under lp and scanner and ran hp-setup as root and bob's my uncle. (no, really he is , lol)

Backward Compatibility Question

Our ADS system is running with Basis 7.0 SAPKB70005
Can we develop forms on systems with a lower Basis version e.g. 6.4?
Are there backward compatibility issues?
Regards,
Lavaughn

Hi Lavaughn
it depends a bit on what you want to do.
If you want to develop the form on the 6.40 box and then render it with the 7.0 Application Server, the answer is No, as the solution always needs to be on the same NW level (i.e. either '04 or 2004s). SAP development always coordinates changes between Designer, ADS, Reader, and the SAP development environment - and there are a few incompatible changes between '04 and 2004s.
If you want to develop and render the forms on the 7.0 box and integrate data from a lower-release backend (e.g. R/3 Enterprise), you can do that for interactive scenarios using RFC connections to transfer the data and/or the PDF form from system to system.
Do not attempt to do this for print forms. The amount of data that may have to be transferred will heavily impact the form generation time.
Kind regards,

I don't believe so as the new client takes advantage of newer REST

backend first.

Oracle Database10g Express Edition's compatibility with Forms/Reports 10g

hi,
I have a problem while connecting from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g to Oracle Database10g Express Edition.I have configured through the net configuration assistant and it shows the test is also successful. But while connecting from Oracle Forms/Reports 10g, an error is being displayed saying that the TNS could not resolve service name(ORA - 012154). I am able to connect to my database server normally. I got a doubt now regarding Oracle Database10g Express Edition's compatibility with Oracle Developer Suite 10g. Can I use Oracle Database10g Express Edition as backend for Forms/Reports 10g in a stand alone machine.
Can anyone please give me a solution regarding my issue.
Thanks in advance.
RAKESH

12154 means that the TNSNAMES.ora that reports is using does not understand what the '@XE' means.
Check that you do not have several different TNSNAMES.ora files - there are probably several, and the one you are using probably does not point to XE. This is the most common cause I've seen.

Fiori Applications ERP 6.0 EHP 5.0 Compatibility

Hellllllllo SAP Mobile World !!!!
I am attempting to implement Fiori Applications from scratch. I have gone through all Installation Guides.
We are currently running SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5.0 via NW 7.02 SP09.
I have a little confusion about the Fiori App to ERP version compatibility.
I have three examples illustrating my confusion and could use a answer to each point if possible.
Point 01)
We wish to use implement “App Implementation: Approve Purchase Orders”.
Looking at “SAP Fiori principal apps for SAP ERP 1.0” from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_fiorierpx1_100/helpdata/en/57/7f3c52c638b610e10000000a44176d/content.htm?frameset=/en/94/813c52c638b610e10000000a44176d/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/c1/567952d690214fe10000000a445394/plain.htm&node_id=74.
“SAP Fiori Apps for SAP ERP”--> “Approve Purchase Orders”
The “Back-End Components Delivered with (Product VersionStack)” under “System Landscape Requirements” lists our implementation “SAP enhancement package 5 of SAP ERP 6.0 SPS03 or higher”. I assume this means that “App Implementation: Approve Purchase Orders” is compatible with our version.
Once I go into “App Implementation: Approve Purchase Orders” I see “SAP enhancement package 5 of SAP ERP 6.0 SPS03 or higher” for “Back-End Components Delivered with (Product Version Stack)”
This leads me to believe that “App Implementation: Approve Purchase Orders” is supported by my installation.
Am I correct and if not why?
Point 02)
We wish to use implement “App Implementation: Change Sales Orders”.
Looking at “SAP Fiori principal apps for SAP ERP 1.0” from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_fiorierpx1_100/helpdata/en/bf/67565214c31357e10000000a445394/content.htm?frameset=/en/7d/145652f9c21457e10000000a445394/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/c1/567952d690214fe10000000a445394/plain.htm&node_id=85&show_children=false.
“SAP Fiori Apps for SAP ERP” --> “Change Sales Orders”
The “Back-End Components Delivered with (Product Version Stack)” under “System Landscape Requirements” lists our implementation “SAP
enhancement package 5 of SAP ERP 6.0 SPS03 or higher”. I assume this means that “App Implementation: Change Sales Orders” is compatible with our version.
Once I go into “App Implementation: Change Sales Orders” I see “1942983” for “Back-End/Front-End Server”
It describes notes for “EHP7 FOR SAP ERP6.0”. This leads me to believe that “App Implementation: Change Sales Orders” is supported by my installation, but if we happened to upgrade to EHP 7 then this note will need to be implemented.
Am I correct and if not why?
Point 03)
We wish to
use implement “App Implementation: Equipment”.
Looking at “SAP Fiori Apps” from http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/73/c9e452a413b267e10000000a441470/content.htm?frameset=/en/9a/385452928bd030e10000000a44538d/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/ba/954353a531e647e10000000a441470/plain.htm&node_id=338.
“SAP Fiori Apps” --> “SAP Fiori Apps for SAP ERP” --> “Apps for Logistics” --> “Plant Maintenance (PM)” -->“Equipment”
The “Back-End Components Delivered with (Product Version Stack)” under “System Landscape Requirements” lists our implementation “SAP
enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SPS 05”. I assume this means that “App Implementation: Equipment” is NOT compatible with our version.
Am I correct? Are there any SAP Notes that can be implemented to circumvent such limitations if they exist?
Tags edited by: Michael Appleby

Thanks for the helpful answers. You all have sent me on the correct path for further investigation. As a result I have a few more questions. I apologize for what might seem "stupid questions".
01) Is it true that the Front-End Server must run on either SAP NetWeaver 7.00. 7.01, 7.02, or 7.31?
02) Is the Front-End installation of NW a full installation and not one for say a NW Application Server that doesn't have a underlying database?
03) Development of custom applications take place on the Front-End Server? If so I guess question 02 is unnecessary.
04) I trying confirm my understanding of the prerequisites for “App Implementation: Track Purchase Order” @ http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/01/b13a522fecb610e10000000a44176d/content.htm?frameset=/en/ba/954353a531e647e10000000a441470/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/ba/954353a531e647e10000000a441470/plain.htm&node_id=163
The “Back-End Components Delivered with (Product Version Stack)” lists “SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5.0” so I am assuming this app is compatible with our Fiori landscape once the Front-End running on NW 7.31 is installed. We are currently running SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5.0 based on NW 7.02 SP09. Is my assumption correct?
05) I trying confirm my understanding of the prerequisites for “App Implementation: Approve Service Entry Sheets” @ http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/64/1a96523ef7224fe10000000a445394/content.htm?frameset=/en/0a/5991527b149f11e10000000a441470/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/ba/954353a531e647e10000000a441470/plain.htm&node_id=183
”Back-End Components Delivered with (Product Version Stack)” lists “SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SPS 05”. Does this truly mean that the backend system must have EHP 7 for ERP 6.0?
Thanks so much for the help!

SANE does not allow c++ external backend ( epkowa for epson V200)

Some Epson scanners ( Perfection V100, V200, etcc ) need an external library and the corresponding firmware from epson site ( package iscan and iscan-plugin ).
On gentoo, debian based and rpm based distrib, sane is compiled to allow such things
Stock sane from sane.org and arch does not seem to link with the c++ backend epkowa provided by epson
xsane work fine but scanimage -L not ( scanimage is necessary for scripting )
To use an epson external firmware based scanner , one have to compile sane by hand
and modify frontend/Makefile
LINK = $(CC) [...] need to be replaced by LINK = g++ [ ... ]
Lost several hours to figure out where was the prb, cause the epkowa sane backend used to work out of the box on other distrib

I "SOLVED"
I replaced the original "epson", "epson2" and "epkowa" drivers with the drivers installed on a notebook with Fedora16 (and sane 1.0.23), and now epkowa profile works good with all resolutions!
You can download Fedora16 epson drivers here.

Java SP Stack compatability across multiple component systems

I was wondering if there was a 'best practice' or 'guide' or 'other information' on how to insure the compatibility of Java stacks running varying components that either interact with each other and with backend SAP systems.
What we have are multiple Java instances:
Portal 7.01 --- Used for standard Portal processes and to be a frontend to our BI 7.0 EHP1 system could eventually use IVIEWS to run ECC transactions.
CRM 7.01 --- CRM WebClient used to connect with backend CRM 7.0 EPH1 system and WebChannel.sales and jumps to ECC 7.0 system transactions.
Basically trying to confirm / solidify the requirements of 'support pack stacks' across these systems and to identify the alignment requirements between them.
Forum searches have been made, but nothing solid in a way of an answer to clarify the SP stack levels across these varied systems.
Thanks for any forum threads posted and or documentation that we can be directed to.
