A: Transaction SCC

Question : Internet outages
We have recently experienced some internet outages caused by our ISP. Although we have resolved our ISP problems, the users refuse to believe that losing the internet connection was to blame for the SAP problems. How can we ensure that this was an internet problem and not an SAP problem?

A: Open a maintenance window, connect to
the machine and kill the ISP connection and see if this kills your connection. Repeat at will until they believe that the ISP was the problem.

Question :

OK Codes

What is an OK code? What are the differences an OK code to a T code?

A: An OK Code is used by a program to

execute a function for example after a pushbutton has been clicked. A transaction code is a “shortcut” that helps a user run a program.

TCodes are stored in table TSTC

Question : Transaction Codes
Where are tcode name and program values stored? How can I find a list of all the tcodes in the SAP system?

A: You can use transaction st to view Table
TSTC. You can define a new tcode using transaction se.

Question : STMS Importing
How can one disable the “Import All” button on STMS for the queues?

A: Login to your Transport

Domain Controller. Run STMS>Overview>System. Choose the System you want to disable import all. Go to Transport Tool tab. Add/Create Parameter “NO_IMPORT_ALL” set its value to .

Question : Work Processes
What are the different types of work processes in R/?

A: Dialog (D), Update (U), Enqueue (E),
Background(B), and Spool(S).

Question :

Patch Level for GUI

How can you confirm the patch level for SAP GUI?

A:

Log into SAPGUI, and hit AltF > About

Question :

Web help installation

Why can web help be considered easier to install than CHM, the standard delivered SAP help?

A: Web help is easier than trying to get every
remote user connected to a network share. If you don’t want to use SAP’s help site, you can setup your own website to do it. The best route depends on your business’ network structure.

Question : Web Resources
If you can’t find the answer to a question, what are some website you can visit to find the answer?

A:
OSS notes: http://service.sap.com/notes SAP help: http://help.sap.com Google: http://www.google.com

Question :

Instance installation

We want to install another new instance on same development box. Is this possible? What are some of the important considerations?

A: Yes, it is possible to have more than one
instance on a single box. The key is to use a different SID and a different system number. It is also important to note that for a  bit SAP kernel, SAP recommends a  GB swap space for st instance and  GB per each additional instance.

Question : Client copy

What is the difference between a client copy and client refresh?

A:

Some times these are the same, For example, if you are performing a copy to an existing client for the express purpose of updating the data, then it is called Client Refresh. If you are copying to a newly created client then it is more appropriate to say “client copy.” Another way of thinking about this is that a client copy from production to a QA server or from production to DEV server is really a client refresh.

Question : Table T
What is the purpose of table T?

A: Table T contains a list of defined clients,
which you can maintain with transaction SCC.

Question : Table USR

What is the purpose of table USR?

A: This table stores User IDs and passwords.

Question : Passwords
How do you create a password exception list?

A: Place the answers in table USR.

Question : Table TADIR
What is the purpose of table TADIR?

A: Table TADIR contains object directory entries.

Question : Table TDEVC
What is the purpose of table TDEVC?

A: Table TDEVC contains development classes and
packages.

Question : Change Requests
What are the transaction codes associated with changing requests, request headers, or request object lists?

A: The following tables hold information about
change requesets.
E E Change request headers Change request object lists

Question : User Access
How can you get a list of the users with development access on a particular system?

A: Table DEVACCESS

Question :

Transport object keys

Where can you find a list of object keys included in a transport?

A: EK Object keys contained within transports

Question :

Transport in progress

How can you tell if a transport entry is in the process of being imported?

A: Check table TRBAT

Question : Repaired Objects
How can you find a list of objects that have been repaired in the system?

A: ADIRACCESS List of repaired objects and their
access keys

Question :

Disable Multiple Logins

How do you Disable Multiple Logins in the Same Client?

A: To disable multiple user logins within the same
client implement this parameter in the instance profile: login/disable_multi_gui_login =  If you do not use this parameter in your system, users have the ability to ignore the warning window at the time they try to login to the same client. Activating this parameter in your system will make you look good if you get audited! How about exceptional logins? In case you’re wondering how to allow multiple logins for certain key users you can implement parameter login/multi_login_users. You can list the user IDs that should be ignored if the parameter above is active in your system.

Question :

Locked Transactions

How can you View Locked Transactions?

A: As you know, you can lock/unlock transaction
codes via SM. But, how do you go about viewing the transactions that are locked in the system? You need to look in field CINFO, table TSTC. Within SAP, you can use either SE or SE to browse the table contents. Make sure you enter “A” as the “HEX data element for SYST” starting value and “A” as the ending value. This will list all the transactions locked in the system. Note: The CINFO field description is “HEX data element for SYST”.

Question :

Locking Accounts

When you are Locking/Unlocking accounts what happens behind the scenes?

A: User accounts can be locked/unlocked via SU
(User Maintenance.) But, what goes on behind the scenes? What does the system do to actually set this?

The table USR gets updated. The field UFLAG determines if the user account is locked or unlocked. The value “” indicates that the user account is locked. The value “” that the user account is unlocked. Knowing this, you can then issue an update statement at the database level that locks all users in mass. Don’t lock yourself out, though! Use exceptions for super user accounts in your update statement. Notice that .b and above have made improvements to this kind of task, making the locking/unlocking a bit easier. However, changing at the database level is much faster and it is just one simple query.

Question :

TP and RTRANS

What is the difference between TP and RTRANS

A: TP controls the process and calls several
tools, like rtrans but also e.g. DDICActivation.

Question :

SAPALL User

Is there a difference between user DDIC and SAP_ALL/SAP_NEW ?

A: Yes, DDIC is hard coded to do some things
other IDs cannot. But you should be able to activate tables in SE using a SAP_ALL user.

is the default username and password for basis login accounts (SAP*)

Question :

UNIX OS

What is the purpose of the UNIX file /etc/passwd ?

A: /etc/passwd contains valid user passwords,
accounts, default login directories, and user security permission levels

The file format is user:password:UID:GID:login_directory:shell

Question :

SAP DB Error

If you receive an “error occurred during installation” message when trying to install the DBInstance (SAP DB) what can you do to fix the problem?

A: Use shorter pathnames.

Question :

ECC .

Is it possible to install ECC . as a test system and not production, without installing solution manager?

A: During the installation you will be asked for a
key, which can only be generated by the solution manager.

Question : Java and XI
We are trying to install JavaAdd an ABAP system as part of an XI . installation. At the end of the JEE installation, while trying to start SAP jEE engine, a timeout error occurs. How would you fix this?

A: Increase paging space to  GB.

Question : SAPGUI Install
Is there a way to perform SAPGUI  roll out using a centralized server?

A: Look for SAPADMIN and SAPSETUP on the
installation CD. Then, use a utility such as Microsoft’s SMS to distribute this program or use a login script to call the SAPSETUP program.

Question : Telnet
If SAPconsole telnet screen size is too big how do you make it smaller?

A: Go to the control panel, and then to the SAP
console administrator and general tab.

Question : DEV System with Open Client
In our DEV system we have opened the client with all options “changed without automatic rec,” “changes to repository and cross customization allowed,” and “protection level no restriction” in SCC. The developers complain that they get an error message saying the system is nonmodifiable. What should we do to fix this?

A: In a DEV system, set the global system change

option (SEO) to modifiable for all namespaces/objects. The developers must have the ability to change any, including SAP, namespace/object. Change client options (SCC) to “changes allowed for repos and crossclient cust” and radio button to “auto. save changes.” Next, enable CATTS sessions.

Question : Email from SAP to UNIX
I’m trying to send email from SAP to Microsoft Outlook. When I attempted to configure SAPConnect it failed. On unix level I try to run command “mlunxsnd” and “mlosmadm” but found that it doesn’t exist in unix. How should I solve this problem?

A: In versions with basis release . or higher,
you don’t need to use sapconnect. Directly put your mail server in the SMTP node in SCOT.

Question : Printing Cover Pages
I want to let SAP skip printing cover pages during printing for any kind of report. How can this be done?

A: Find the source for the cover page.

It will either be from SAP itself or the OS spooler. Take the appropriate action.

Question : User Auditing
Is there a way to find out what was entered in a particular transaction code screen?

A: No, but you can analyze tables associated with
the transaction code and see if there is a username field that traces what this user has done.

Question : Background Job Runs
I need to schedule a background job to run for  consecutive days and would like to use DB. How can I schedule a report to run from DB and not SM?

A: There is no way to schedule a report to run
from DB other than preconfigured DBA jobs. Instead, use SM and make the jobs event driven.

Part II: Technical and Troubleshooting Questions

Question : Transport requests
When I release all of the requests to DEV it is not being displayed in an import queue on the QA system (tcode STMS). When I check the log of transport request overall status is successful, but a message appears saying “continue: other transport group.” Why is this message appearing?

A: The transport group for QA is misconfigured.

Go to STMS, then Overview. Double click QA and choose communication. Next enter the correct transport group and save.

Question :

Memory and Sizing

We have a JEE + ABAP . instance running a portal .. It seems GB of memory is not enough and JEE has problems if we assign more. What can be used to balance the load in the servers?

A: You can create a second server process using
configtool. Also, load balancing is possible through SCS.

Question : Upgrading
After a recent upgrade of kernel . to ., while doing a transport I received several warning parameters although everything looked okay on SAP tcode STMS, what should I do about the warning parameters.

A: You can delete these parameters from TPPARAM.

Question : SAPRouter and DMZ
We setup a SAPRouter in DMZ so that all SAP requests can be routed in and out from that machine and the SAP application servers are not necessary to be exposed to the internet user. However, the SAPRouter does not handle the BW Web reporting application requests. We do not have E.P. Are there any tools which can help us to route WEB reporting requests the way SAPRouter does?

A: You need a SAP Web dispatcher. It acts like a

SAP Router but routes SAP ICM traffic. BW Web reporting is a BSP that sits on the ICM. You can look for sapwebdisp.exe in the kernel directory or do a selfgenerated profile using command option “bootstrap.”

Question : Internet email gateway
How do you configure the Internet email gateway in SAP Netweaver ?

A:

Starting with version WAS .x, SMTP comes built in to kernel. Go to transaction. SCOT and configure it there.

Question :

JEE and CRM

I am installing a SAP JEE engine at CRM. When it reaches phase  it halts for more than  minutes and gives up starting the system. What should I do?

A: A restart is often the solution. If it is an addin and

you have restarted your ABAP then you may be missing the profile parameters. If this is okay and a restart does not help look in the work directory and check dev_icontrol. If the JEE engine software is the problem, applying a patch will solve the problem.

Question : Installing R/ Enterprise
When we install SAP R/ enterprise ., there are several error messages in the SAPVIEW.log. What does this mean?

A: This means that one of your load jobs did not run
successfully.

Question :

Program buffer / swap

In my development server when I perform ST the program buffer shows a value of  in red under the SWAP category. Users are getting a shortdump with the PXA buffer error message. What should I do?

A: Use “my links” in “my signature” and use the
keywords: PXA Buffer.

Question : Email from SBWP
When sending an email from transaction SBWP I wish to enter the user’s login name only, not an email address. Also I’d like SAP to look at the user details email address and communications method held in SU and send the mail to this external email address. Can this be configured?

A: Yes. Follow pathway SO> Tab Mail Sys group>
bottom radio button.

Question : Updating Tables
Are direct updates on SAP tables allowed?

A: You can call SAP functions directly to update
data (RFC calls) but it is not recommended to try and manipulate data directly at database level (sql scripts, jdbc)
In general it is a very bad idea to update tables directly in SAP.

Question : Installing DB instance
While doing SAP installation of DB instance on a different box other than CI, the input we have given in SAPInst of DB instance is wrong in system number of CI instance. How can I change this entry after installation?

A: You must reinstall the CI instance with the right
system number.

Question : Backup Strategy
I am working on a backup strategy to disk. I want to perform a copy_save_delete equivalent on various disks. This function does not work for disk saves but ideally I would like to have two copies. Is there another function I can use?

A: In your init<sid>.SAP file log on to another
drive/server to store another copy of your archive log.

Question : Lock table overflow
One of my BTC jobs fails when I try to run it, giving me an error message stating “lock table overflow.” It recommends to modify the enqueue / table size parameter to solve this issue. I do not have this value in my default or instance profile. How do I solve the problem?

A: Run ABAP RSPARAM program.

It will give you the real value of the SAP parameter and where they have been set up. The lock table can hold , entries, which is more than enough for the average system. It is possible that the program is not written properly and the developers should modify it.

Question :

System copy for BW

I am attempting to complete a system copy of BW. When I try to go in to RSA afterwards I get the error message, “Entry in inbound table already exists.” What should I do to solve the problem?

A: Read the homogenous system guide and follow
all directions under “subsequent steps” section. Check transaction codes BDLS and SALE as well.

Question : XI . Configuration
I am configuring my XI . Production server (MSCS ) on oracle … for backups. I have successfully run offline backups on single nodes (both A and B), split nodes (Oracle node B and SAP node A), but it fails when I run Oracle on Node A and SAP on Node B. I have checked the initsid.sap, initsid.ora spfilesid.ora files, the files within the “%Windir%\SAPCluster and the FSCMD location path and they are identical to my development servers. Rebooting the servers has been unsuccessful as well. How do I resolve this issue?

A: Log in on both nodes as SIDADM and run this
command: brbackup –V. Make sure that “%Windir%SAPCluster” is part of your path.

Question : Restarting server
Will restarting the PRD server every week affect server performance?

A: When you restart the server, the SAP ABAP

program buffer and other buffers are emptied. As far as performance goes, the reports runtime will be a bit longer during the first run. You can restart the system every week without harm. The only reason against it may be the SLA/users demand.

Question : System copy PRD to TST
I need to do a system copy from PRD to TST. I cannot follow SAP documentation, but must do it manually. When I run “@/tmp/TSTcntrl.sql,” will it change all the PRD to TST in the restored file names? Would the restored files be recognized as a TST system?

A:

You must first open the DB as PRD on your new system. Second, apply redo logs. Next, run your script to change SID. This will change SID but will not change tablespace names if using WAS . or above.

Question : MIRO updates to RBKP
We are running Win , Oracle I, SAP .. We are having performance issues around Tx MIRO which updates table RBKP. Table RBKP has five indexes in SAP, but only three of which exist in Oracle. Why is this?

A: In SAP there are many predefined indexes.
You can see these indexes via DB>checks> database >ABAP dictionary >display. Under optional indexes you see all indexes of which the definition is created in the dictionary, but not created at database level.

Question : Customizing and Master Data
Some transactions in SAP are seen as customizing, for instance OVRF (updating routes). In some systems this is set as master data and can be set open. Where do you do this?

A: That depends on each transaction.

Sometimes it is determined by other configuration and sometimes it is set according to system function, production or test/develop/demo/etc.

Question : Variants for ABAP
I have some housekeeping ABAPs that I have to create variants for. There are cases when I have to specify a time interval for the ABAP in the variant. If I explicitly enter a start and end date they will remain at that current date continuously. Is there any way to dynamically enter dates in the variant?

A: In transaction SE enter the variant name and

choose the attributes radio button. Here you can set the field to “selection variable.” Then, under selection variables button, you can define that it is SY DATE+.

Question :

SM and Spool

When I check transaction SM and I want to see the spool I get a message that says “no list available.” Why is this?

A: There are several possible reasons.

The spool is sent to a printer and deleted. The spool is too old and the housekeeper deleted it. Also, some test reports simulate a calculation then rollback. It works fine online. When a background job does a rollback then it rolls back the spool as well.

Question : JEE and Support Packs
I have an ABAP+JEE instance on XI .. Is it necessary to stop WEB AS and JEE to apply the support packs for JEE?

A: Any JEE patches are applied while system is
up and running but no activities. The only patch applied while system is down are binaries (ABAP kernel).

Question : Missing Secondary Index
I have a Win NT/SQL/R kernel D. I am missing one secondary index (ZCPS) while I run DB. I tried recreating the index, but this gives me the error message “Index could not be setup in the DB.” Another index with the same name exists in the database, but it is unknown to the ABAP/  Dictionary. How do I remove the error from the DB and resolve the problem?

A: It is possible that an individual created an index in
the DB directly, which is not recommended. You must delete the index DB level first, and then create it in SAP.

Question : Client Copy
Will a client copy transfer the background job schedules and all client dependent data?

A: SAP_ALL will copy all client dependent data

including schedules to the new client. Remember that ABAP programs are always client independent. Only the masterdata (variant) is client dependent.

Question : Offline Backup
I am on SAP ., . HP UX Oracle. When we complete our weekly offline backup, application is not coming up and the system goes down. Which log will give some input as to what is wrong with the system?

A: Start with the alert log.

It is usually found in oracle/SID/saptrace/background/alertSID.log.

Question : Access Methods
What is meant by the terms L and F access methods?

A: An “L” access method refers to local printer.

It is local to the SAP server, not the user. An “F” access method refers to front end printer. This uses the user’s Windows printer.

Question :

Remote server starting

We are currently running . enterprise on Oracle …, on Solaris . I am in the process of upgrading production which has a central instance server and  Application servers where the Sapmnt directory is shared out from the central instance server. I upgraded the kernel on the central instance with no problems, but when I try to start SAP on the APP servers I receive an error message stating the database must be started from a remote server. I have changed all environment variables but I still receive the error message. What could be the issue?

A: Ensure that the Oracle client is properly installed on

each of the application servers. Also, make certain that you are using the latest versions of all of the kernel, associated files (Rtrans, tp, startdb, stopdb, etc.) and the DB library.

Question :

Deleting Background Jobs

Is it safe to delete old background jobs using the program RSBTCDEL while users are working in the PRD server?

A:

Yes. It is safe to run this program while users are working since this only deletes jobs that were completed or aborted, not active jobs.

Question : User logs
Is there any report or table in which user log off time is stored in SAP?

A: There is no standard report. However, you can
find out about the user’s last transaction time in table USR and field TRDAT, which is close to logoff time.

Question : Transport problems
I installed the kernel patch . level  and now the transport system is not working properly. The job RDDIMPDP is not starting, although I start it manually. I keep receiving error messages. How should I solve this problem?

A: First go into SE in both client  and your
working client. Run program RDDNEWPP. This will schedule program RDDIMPDP with proper parameters. Then, check if any “TP” programs are running . If this is the case, check in /usr/sap/trans/log and look for the most recent files contents.

Question :

Spooling table spaces

The temporary spooling table space is approximately GB in one of our customer’s production systems that runs  hours a day. We would like to reduce this over time. What strategy would you have for reducing this tablespace?

A: You could schedule report RSPO for
deleting the spool (TEMSE) objects. Schedule it as a daily background job in order to minimize impact on your system.

Question : Table Maintenance
How would I setup table maintenance for customized table Z?

A: Use Transaction code SE.

Question :

Dialog and Batch Processes

I want to change five dialog work processes into batch. Where can I do this?

A: You can configure work processes through
parameters in RZ. Use “rdisp/no_wp_dia” for dialog and “rdisp/no_wp_btc” for background. Or you can configure operation modes for that through RZ.

Question : Transport numbering
Is there a way to change the transport request number to start with a number that I choose?

A: Assuming your release is ., user SAPR is
owner of the database. Call the last transport number by issuing “select * from sapr.EL.” Change the transport sequence number by issuing: ”Update sapr.EL set TRKORR=’<SID>Kxxxxx’.” If your SAP release is higher than ., replace SAPR with the owner of the database.

Question : Jobs that don’t quit
The job “SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR” is being continuously being cancelled in our quality System BW. I keep receiving an error that says the load program is not found. What should I do to resolve this?

A: The problem is in the support package. The
Solution is you need to delete the SWNC* reports and insert RSSTAT and RSSTAT into TCOLL.

Question :

Kernel Upgrades

We are planning an upgrade of the OS from the existing VR to VR of our iseries server which hosts SAP application. We are currently on R/ Release .C at support pack level . After we do an upgrade we plan to migrate all applications to a power  iseries  server. Our current kernel is ASCII D patch level . Should we consider a SAP kernel upgrade?

A: Before upgrading OS , database or SAP version,
Always update your kerne l to latest level.

Question : SAPDBA
We have a SAP r/ x (unix/oracle) The SAPDBA program no longer exists since we’ve upgraded from . to .. Where can I download BR*Tools Gui for Oracle DBA –GUI after installing Kernel .?

A:

You can still use SAPDBA from version .. You must however combine it with BR*Tools ..

Question : Transporting
I received  transports (K and R) to be imported from an external vendor. We need to import these into our QA system. I have moved the transports to the Cofiles and Data subdirectories. What do I need to do next?

A:

Follow pathway STMS > Overview > Imports. Doubleclick on QA’s SID. Next, follow path Extras > Other Requests > Add. Finally, type transport number and import as you would normally transport.

1 How do we reverse a singly linked list with non recursive version and only using a single pointer

2 In unix how do i print only the directories name with ls command i mean without using something like this
ls – l | awk {‘printf $9′}

3 char *str=”hello”
foll are the statements
a) str[2]=’f';
b) strcpy(str,”Hi”);
c) str=”String”

Which of the above is error prone and why
4 how do i print the name of a variable in C or C++
for eg
int i,,j
“variables name are : %d %d”,some code
one approach is we take pointers to these variables but even then how can i print names of these variables pointed to by these pointers

5 there is an exe in unix lets say Prog either it can give some output or it may produce some errors
we want the foll
output -> file a
errors if any -> file b
output and error in file c in the sequential order
Output 1
Error 1
Output 2
Error 2
All 3 redirection in 1 statemeant

“That’s just too much to think about so that’s a question I wish you didn’t ask but. Hmmmm, I’d like to think it’s gone about half-way. …..Nah, let’s just stop thinking about that now.”

By Halfway done, does that mean the Manga is halfway completed or the Manga and Anime both half way completed?

http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=15891&highlight=interview&page=4

I’m not sure about this because, he wasnt really sure, right after he said halfway he said nah lets stop thinking about it. How will the series really go on for. So it were half way that means theres 9 years left. Take a serious estimated guess?

Thanks again
