I know using SU10 we can do it. Any other alternative ways to lock the users. Is there a way in SAP to unlock a locked user for a limited time, then automatically after x time set the user back to lock status? You can fill in "valid from" and "valid until", but you cannot say from Monday to Friday from 8 12:00 for part time workers. Can we schedule to lock all users? If users get locked, from SU01 you can unlock them. Use SU10 to mass lock/unlock the users. Use address data or authorisation data to get a list of users - select the ones you want and click transfer. Once this is done click on lock or unlock. You can also use transaction code EWZ5 to mass lock/unlock the users or Execute program EWULKUSR in SE38 or Set a profile parameter (login/failed_user_auto_unlock) to unlock at midnight the locked users. or Here's an ABAP code, short and simple, isn't it? REPORT zreusrlock. When you are done. the uflag is set to 64. time_limit = sy-datum .DATA: time_limit TYPE sy-datum.days. Frequent use of low level access may tempt you to use on other things. you would type: Unix/Oracle 8---> sqlplus internal @<SQLpath+SQLname> NT/Oracle 8.1---> sqlplus internal @s<SQLpath+SQLname> Unix/Oracle 9:--> sqlplus /nolog @<SQLpath+SQLname> NT/Oracle 9-----> sqlplus /nolog @<SQLpath+SQLname> In UNIX you can cron the script to schedule it. When users are locked. select bname. You can replace != with <> if you want. you can do the same again but change the UFLAG field to 0. or Probably the easiest way would be to write a sqlplus SQL script that sets all the UFLAG fields in table USR02 to 64 EXCEPT for the BNAMEs you don't want locked.usr02 set uflag='0' where mandt='399'. DATA: days TYPE i VALUE 40. just query to check.usr02 where mandt='399'. UPDATE usr02 SET uflag = 64 WHERE trdat < time_limit. To run this from an OS command line.USR02 set UFLAG = 64 where MANDT = <client number> and BNAME != <don't lock user 1> AND BNAME != <don't lock user 2>. Highly dangerous and your IS auditors will not be too happy. you can use SE38 to schedule it as a daily background job with the date and time. Please note that unlocking users from low level (like Oracle sqlplus) should be used as last resort. Finish.0---> plus80 internal @<SQLpath+SQLname> NT/Oracle 8.

Incorrect SAP login logs With report RSUSR006. You can also use report RSMEMORY to find out how sap alloctes memory to Dia and Non Dia work processes. The Virtual memory allocated line shows SAP's allocated memory. You can also find out memory allocated for user (mode list) and Quotas. In 32 bit processing you need to keep shared memory areas at a minimum because otherwise you limit the amount of space . you can check those users that have been locked. For those that are not locked. How to Find How Much Allocated Memory What tcode can I used to find out how much memory is allocated to R/3 in total? I know for Oracle I can get the SGA memory. I'm afraid that is incorrect. Shared memory is memory that can be addressed by different processes as opposed to private memory that can only be addressed by the process that creates it. More importantly it does not include heap (private memory) allocated by WP's. the ICM and the dispatcher but it does include most of their memory in the shared memory areas. This will let you know memory allocated for that app server. Go to ST02 --> Detailed analysis --> Sap memory. Question on Shared Memory and IMODE Can someone tell me about Shared memory (Code Definition) and IMODE? I have never heard these terms in SAP R/3. I am using SAP 4. A good examlpe would be the Program Buffer (PXA) this buffer hold the recently used programs in memory for fast access and needs to be read by all work processes. It also does not include the executable size of the GW. Go to ST02 --> Detailed analysis --> Storage is the correct path.7 / Oracle 9i on Unix AIX. Shared momey sounds like its related to Operating System. This memory does not include what the DB uses or the OS or other things running on the server. The question is also not a simple answer. A more impotrant shared memory area is extended memory. the report will list down the number of wrong login that the users have done. It also does not allow for additional memory that a Windows system may dynamically allocate to extended memory if the users use it all up. All memory is OS memory I'm afraid there is little distinction in that regard. With the other session got to SM36 then swap back to ST02. An example may be best. 190 MB is not much. What is the Maximum Memory a good Program Should Request There is no thumb rule for maximum memory a good program can consume in the system but based on your experience can you please let me know at least the range ? I came across with a situation that there is program which is fetching about 2 million records of total size around 190MB. you will see the session has an imode 0 1 and 2 active. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An IMODE is an internal mode. Imode 0 is not really an IMOde but the main mode that all your information relevant in any transaction is available. There was no much load on the system at that time. it's impossible to give a general advise here since this is VERY different on what . Our configuration: SAP 46c on Win 2K RAM: 4GB Virtual memory: 8GB. create a new session and leave one at the main menu and with the other go to ST02.in the address space that your program can use for its own data. This is why you have imodes so that when you green arrow back from the job selection screen above (I mode2) it is no longer the active mode and imode 1 is reactivated. In ST02 near the bottom of the screen double click on the extended memory line. I suggested them to process only 50. our usercontextes can become as big as 2 GB per user (which is the limit on 32bit platforms) several times a day. In the next screen click on the Mode List button. I won't get into a sad chat about all this bat thats hared memory. But I want to know if my suggestion was good enough. however. Now from the SM36 screen click on the button Job Selection and jump back to St02 and press enter. Take into consideration that there is a big difference between dialog transactions (with several steps) and mass processing or lists. But system could not allocate this much memory so the program aborted. Can't the system with below configuration allocate 190MB for a program. log onto a SAP system. The latter two consume usually a lot more memory. press enter and you will see the session has an IMODE 0 and an IMODE 1 use. You will see you have the ST02 session marked with an X for being attached and another session in IMODE 0.000 records at a time which worked fine. Do you guys know what are all the things to be done to enable ZERO MEMORY MANAGEMENT in 46C ? You can get an overall estimate by looking in SM04 and switching on the MB size beside the users so so you will see how much memory the current transactions are using. As you call transactions inside transactions you need new memory and the old stuff needs to be save for when you green arrow back. This is not uncommon on systems that have a lot of data in them. Archiving Archiving and Reorganization are totally different issues Archiving is a process when you archive old master/transactional records which are not in use any more from long time. An "infinitely" large memory resource is made available with this method. The parameter is entered during installation in accordance with the entry. Start with note 88416. These records can be displayed. By setting the standard value for em/max_size_MB to 20000 MB (100000 MB for 64 bit). Note 546361 can also be helpfull.applications you are running. CRM. The profile parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE determines how much of the entire main memory is to be used by SAP. the Windows system should be configured in such a way that it keeps the file cache to a minimum size. APO etc. The extended memory is initially set to the size of the profile parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE ([PM]). Even with zero administration management. it is the size of the Windows pagefile that finally represents the actual limit for the extension of the extended memory. The standard valuefor PHYS_MEMSIZE is the size of the main memory [HS]. Even hardware changes (for example memory enhancement) are detected and the parameters set correspondingly. What is Zero Administration Memory Management? The zero administration memory management on Windows requires no manual settings and adapts itself dynamically to the memory requirements of the users. If more memory is required by the user. how many systems are connected (BW. the extended memory extends itself in steps of "[PM] / 2" up to the set limit of the profile parameter em/max_size_MB or until the address space in the Windows pagefile is used up. can never be reloaded in tables again physically. If you have "hangs" in the system read note 530871 which will describe the problem (and finally recommend upgrading to Windows 2003).) and so on. make sure that indicator "Maximize Throughput for Network Application" is activated under 'Control Panel' -> 'Network' -> 'Services' -> 'Server' -> 'Properties'. You archive those records keep on some backup device. This is one reason why we switched to a non M$ operating system because after each IE patch (in fact after each patch) you need to check if the new DLLs will fragment your PXA/shared memory. and only Display. there is explained in depth what it is and how it works. . The basis for zero administration memory management on Windows is the dynamically self-extending extended memory. For Windows you also should look in note 129813 which will describe the rebasing process since M$ has the start addresses of their DLLs loaded into the PXA. Therefore. So you run Reorganization to free up the space consumed by deleted records. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object. This make the difference between the two clear. All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. Now about reorganization. Some of the archive error log message :• Costing data exists . Reorganization basically removes deleted data from tables. the reason is given in the log (for example. Before a material master record can be archived and deleted. but it takes time depending upon your database. This is known as logical deletion. SAPDBA is best tool to reorganise. you can archive and delete the material master record. Archive a Material Master Record When a material is no longer required in a company or plant. During different transactions you delete some records.This will free up the space in tables from those records which are not in use any more but exist in tables physically. hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master. If Oracle. a purchase order exists for the material). It depends on which OS and DB you are using. Some times it can be more than a day or you can reorganise a table suggested in Early Watch system. other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. It all depends on you. If a material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level. In addition to above. you can reorganise the whole database. which are deleted virtually but not physically. Archiving the Material Master Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules. Even Archive process delete those records virtually. The log also contains technical data such as the number of material master records read and the number deleted.

If the FI users (generally) never hit against the HR tables then the App servers in the FI group don't (generally) have to buffer any HR data. only) will have to change to accomodate any new groups you create in SMLG. They (generally) work with the same groups of tables and hit the same indexes using the same programs (transactions). That leaves you free to make memory and buffer adjustments to a more drastic extent. SAP Performance Tuning SAP Load Balancing and Work Processes Troubleshoot The benefit of segregating user groups by line-of-business (using logon groups) is related to the point that groups of users (like SD users or HR users. You may find that 50% of the load is from the SD users and so you may need one group for them (with 3 App servers in it) and one other group for everyone else (with the other 3). So. for example) tend to use the same sets of data.Contains a program Include statement. (in opinion only) you should start with a buffer hit ratio analysis / DB table & index access analysis (by user group) to see where you would get the best benefit from this kind of setup. then creating logon groups by line-of-business may have no benefit (or worst case. may make performance degrade for the group with the highest load %).. onto (or one set of) App server(s). so SAP GUI (or saplogon.ini + maybe the services file. If you don't have this kind of info. The logon group(s) will have to be referenced by SAP GUI. So. Also consider that there's variables for time-of-day (load varies by time-of-day) and op-mode switches (resources vary by op-mode). I think an auditor would want to know what methods you are using to approve who gets what profile and what method you are using to document it so that if you review your documentation you could compare it with what authorization the user currently has and determine if the user has more authorizations (roles) than he has been approved for by the approval system in place. You need some historical information to base your decision on. if you can group all of the users hitting the same tables. then you can tune the App server buffers to a much greater extent. where the referred program contains an Authority-Check statement referring to an appropriate authorization object and valid set of values. when you're adjusting the FI server group.

It depends on requirement. Ok 1. 3. For example. even more.. etc. Why do the swapped objects always increase after a few days of tuning (in RZ10) & system restart? Ans: Since more data had been fed into the server. used filesystems. since each buffer holds different values. 4. there is no single reference document because there are too many reasons why a system can appear "slow" to the user: . creation of index. availability of statistics. Since buffer is shot in space. After analysing ST02. how can we calculate the value of the parameter profile to be increased (in RZ10) ? Ans: yes. wherever the red alert is there change the parameter value. It is not enough to increase the buffer and that does not mean tuning. swap memory will be used. This can start from parameters to database layout to operating system configuration. use the command: sappfpar check pf=\\usr\sap\trans\tpparam (or) sappfpar check pf=\\usr\sap\trans\tp_domain_<sid> Troubleshooting SAP Performance Issues Is there a document that will help me troubleshoot system performance? What are the steps on how to troubleshoot? Troubleshooting is a BIG task of itself.. each database has BOOKS on performance optimization. Is there any standard in tuning ST02 to hold up the increasing value of swapped objects? Ans: No. Do we have to increase every profile parameter value which is displayed in red alert in transaction ST02 ? Ans: Ofcourse it shoud be. 2.Tuning Summary In Transaction ST02 My current system is SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.

However. even having large bandwidth may not improve the performance by much if there are numerous hops in between. there is no general rule that one can follow. 2. other traffic can consume large amount of traffic thus causing your SAP performance to be poorer 3. If you are using Citrix. If they do. we are also using ADSL lines with 512kbps connectivity and they enjoy close to local Lan performance for SAP. The transaction column shows the Last executed transaction code. select the desired presentation server and click "10 X Ping" button. Sometimes your users will have multiple sessions open. use AL08 instead of SM04. . "Change View" button. perform the following steps: Call transaction OS01. click "Presentation Server" button. you will not be able to view the user individual IP address as it will be the same Citrix IP address. to the system. No System name and transaction code in SM04 If you have more than one application server. No of users at your remote office using the VPN . performance may be poor even you have paid for a line with a large bandwidth 4. You will notice that the transaction code shown when there is no user name is SESSION_MANAGER. This shows you which workstations out there have the login screen up but have not yet entered a user name and password.In general the lines we use are 64kbps for sites with approx 3-5 users.international throughput you subscribed for as such. or It is because they are at the logon screen which has established a connection. it is the same as multiple logins as it relates to the resources used etc. To check the speed and quality of the user's network connection. See from which network IP address and host name a user has logged on To see the network IP address from which a user has logged on. etc.those three EU jobs can also be scheduled by manually executing program SAPRSEUJ. For instance if you run AL08. One will show AL08 and the other will not have a transaction next to it. Jobs Suspend/UnSuspend Released ABAP Jobs BTCTRNS1 . Shortdescription of the individual jobs: EU_INIT: EU_INIT serves for completely rebuilding the indices and therefore has a correspondingly long runtime. When starting Transaction SE80 for the first time. Under the application server they are logged into. This is because you are using AL08. in transaction SM37. and EU_PUT (periodically each night).Suspend all Released Jobs Released Jobs will have the status Released/Susp.Reverse Suspend for all Released Jobs What Is The Job Name EU_REORG Meant? OSS is your friend . reports. Then you will notice your user name showing up on all other application servers with no transaction. BTCTRNS2 . It starts program SAPRSEUI. .So the user name will show up more than once in AL08. you will have your name show up at least twice on the application server you are logged into. All customer-defined programs (selection according to the name ranges) are analyzed. EU_REORG (periodically each night). Alternatively. error messages.see note 18023: 1. the three EU jobs are scheduled automatically: EU_INIT (single start). and an index is created that is used in the DW for the where-used lists for function modules. each instance of that user name on that application server represents a session open. a single object: 1. Start Oracle Database with Rollback Segment PSAPROLLBIG (all other smaller segments not started). it then starts at the point oftermination. (EU_INIT can therefore be terminated deliberately.) EU_REORG: As mentioned above. Shutdown SAP 3. brtools 3. Give BSIS as table name. . To avoid having this reorganization interfere with online work. 9.1. 7. brarchive 4. To keep the effort for updating these indices as low as possible. Go into SAPDBA "reorganisation" menu. brrestore 6. the size of PSAPROLLBIG should be equal or larger than your BSIS table. These include: 1. Take a backup of your Oracle database. the job is automatically scheduled for the next day. Tables Reorganization of Single Object You have ARCHIVED the BSIS table (because of old data etc) and now this BSIS table has "holes" in physical structure and it's quite a large table. How to activate the IMG Change Log? SCU3 transaction is used to see the IMG change logs for modified objects. sapdba 2. brbackup 5. Ensure sapreorg directory has enough space for taking BSIS Oracle Export dump. if it disturbsother activities in the system. only the changes are logged. this index is automatically updated online. Select "Reorganize Single Table / Index" 8. Fire your SAPDBA from Unix level. Start. 2. this simply means that thereorganization takes place more often online. 5. the indices are automatically updated online by the tools.Starting in Release 2. The job can be repeated at any time. first upgrade your SAPDBA tools first from OSS/SAPNet. which means a reorganization of the complete index for each program is required from time to time. Don't Forget. After a termination. 10. 4. If job EU_REORG did not run one night. Here are the steps to reorg. job EU_REORG runs every night and performs this task. The Oracle Export utility compresses the file to some extent. brconnect. Remember. 6. Activating logging impacts on performance as it entails twice as many database updates as would otherwise be the case. RSVTPROT allows you to analyze change logs both at table level and with reference to Customizing objects.Control tables (system logic control) . all entries as they appear before the changes. Two conditions have to be met for a table to be logged: 1..: logs client-specific tables in the named clients .nnn: logs client-specific tables in client nnn only . select an executable Customizing activity in IMG and choose Goto -> Change log. If logging is set in the ABAP Dictionary.ppp. for example. The default setting is OFF (no changes are logged). changes to client-indepedent tables are always logged unless rec/client is set to 'OFF' Use the ABAP programs RSTBHIST or RSVTPROT to analyze table changes. Logging also has to be set in the system profile Set the rec/client (note the use of lowercase characters) profile parameter to one of the following values :. it is not recommended that you use this tool for application tables.Customizing tables What is recorded is always in the form of complete "before" images.ALL: logs all client-specific tables in all clients.. To access the program.nnn. If. Caution: Only in exceptional circumstances is it appropriate to use the 'ALL' setting.. and the database storage load is also increased substantially. and this is not an appropriate method for recording and managing large amounts of data.mmm. It is recommend that you use logging for your production clients and Customizing clients so that you can see exactly where Customizing tables have been changed.. the SAP client). . that is. the profile parameter is set to 'ALL' when you upgrade all test clients (including 000. 2.. Other than the reasons above.OFF: no logging at all (effectively a central system switch) . it will gives you a message that :. This reduces performance and requires a lot of database space. The table has to be selected for logging in the Dictionary (see Dictionary -> Table maintenance -> Technical configuration). This particular setting can be changed in the following path :IMG--> Basis Components --> System Administration --> Tables changes recording You can log changes made to the following tables: ...If your table change log is not active.table logging is switched off. The recorded data is compressed without buffering. these changes are recorded in the system log file. g. profiles and authorizatons between clients in an R/3 system. Other ABAP Dictionary objects such as lock objects. delete or adjust your database table Edit. create. You can call the database utility from the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary with Utilities -> Database utility (Transaction SE14).

If you want to use the database utility. Finding any of the SAP tables that have been changed During the production run of the SAP system. and views.Basis . additional fields might have been added and you might have lost tracks of the SAP tables changes. Transaction code SPDD have been created to help you to find all the SAP tables that have been modified. This will then show you the contents of the table in both clients and identify the status of each record. We created the instance about 4 months prior to going live. and save your table. That should do the job. First a little background on extents in our production system. As man of you know.

Also. 5 objects over 300. whatch the extents. We were very concerned about this situation and spoke to 3 or 4 different SAP consultants. Our goal is to have all objects below 20 extents . so we saw and let extents grow.which is a corporate standard. Mark A. Like Sanjay mentioned. Is this to many? and should I lose the uptime for a reorg for 17 versus 10 extents? I guess what I am asking is. We have not seen a significant change in database response time. Over the months we have all our objects below 100 extents.which is something we did not do until after we created our productive instance. is there a hardand fast number when in comes to an acceptable amount of extents? SAP seems to be overly conservative most of the time . My question to you both is. While data is "pumped" into the system during the weeks before going live. they will take off. In fact. This also occurs after performing a SAP version upgrade.impossible. and we had hundreds of objects over 10 extents. since both of you seem to have put some thought into this. Kochanski -----Reply Message----Subject: Re: BASIS: Tablespace sizes in large databases -Reply [3] From: "Robert A. I do not understand the logic in this. I do not believe you will find an SAP employed person who will say you should keep extents below a specific value. Why not do both? Planning for growth is critical. Unless There is alot of fragmentation throughout the tables.was wondering if anyone has good numbers? Thanks and have a great day. a system freeze can be thwarted long before extents reach 300 (max extents in my version of Oracle). why not 50 or 100? I just completed a Client Copy and have 4 tables in the BTABD tablespace that are over 17 extents. ~Bob . I agree to doing both planning for growth and monitoring growth. And the earlier in your SAP implementation you do this the better . by the time we went live. Simard" Gentleman. for performance reasons 10 is the limit. I cannot definitively give that advice either. But we will not ask for extra down time to reach this goal. the consultants had no specific reason for this.objects in high extents will have little or no performance impact. about 50 objects (tables and indices) that were over 100 extents. Monitoring daily can be automated via CCMS can it not? With proper alert thresholds. we had 2 objects over 450. We got the same answer from each . Good luck trying to keep objects below 10 extents. you would think that too many extents would cause problems with your performance ( and that is quite true in most cases ). whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted.tough luck! . Any comments / insights? . will be fresh for the fight.. I believe I read on this list that SAP ignores the extent growth ( no explanation provided ) and that it 'really does not matter how large the number gets'. NT Sys.

If. You must check the OSSs note and see if SAP have fixed that note in a hot package. a large number of objects are changed. SPAU identifies an object where you have applied an OSS note. Finished the modification. for instance. SPDD is used to identify dictionary objects and SPAU (repository objects). PGMID/Object/Name: R3TR FUGR MIGO SAP release: 46C Finished. If you have applied any OSS notes to objects in your system. You must check all objects identified in SPAU and decide whether you need to reapply the OSS note or reset the code to the original SAP Code. the hot package may overwrite these objects.g. do remember to transport it to the production system after all the necessary testing.Follow this step to obtain the Program Access key: Menu Path: System -> Services -> SAP Service (Transaction code OSS1) Login in with your OSS ID and Password Click the Registration button Click Register Object Double click R/3 Value Contract Fill in the Object Registration for Installation: For e. you are applying hot package 34.

SAP Transaction code to pre-compile all system program If I have to run SGEN and have to recycle the server as well for clearing out memory. SGEN is ued to "compile" ABAP programs. internal user or customer might request you to change the Title of the SAP Transaction code to a more meaningful one and SAP allows this to be done painlessly. If. So. Do it during a weekend which is the best or a period of time with very very low users activity. then you should reset the object to its original source code. goto tcode SE63 . Results are put in database.If the OSS note has been fixed in hot package 34. if you restart SAP. upgrade SAP system or apply support packages. does it make sense to run SGEN first and recycle afterwards. the object is not fixed until hot package 38. compiled results will still be in the database. otherwise users will encounter the problems they had before the note was applied. however. This means that there is no repair flag set against this object again and it is now SAP standard code. so. Do take care of the table spaces and use SAPDBA to observe them. or there is no fix available you have to reapply the OSS note. no need to run SGEN again. You must transport all reapplied notes and Reset to SAP Standard objects after you apply your hot package to your QAS and PRD systems.

I know that there is no need of UID and PWD to communicate with partner system. In what situation it is good to go for Trusted system ? E. g. if you have an R/3 system and a BW system and don't want to maintain passwords. Same goes for CRM and a lot of other systems/applications. Let me know if my understanding below is correct: 1) By default the RFC destination is synchronous 2) Asynchronous RFC is used incase if the system initiated the RFC call no need to wait for the response before it proceeds to something else. Yes - that's right. But keep in mind, that it's not only a technical issue whether to switch to asynchronous. The application must also be able to handle that correctly.

SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) is SAP's enterprise application integration (EAI) software, a component of the NetWeaver product group used to facilitate the exchange of information among a company's internal software and systems and those of external parties. Like other NetWeaver components, SAP XI is compatible with software products of other companies. SAP calls XI an integration broker because it mediates between entities with varying requirements in terms of connectivity, format, and protocols. According to SAP, XI reduces integration costs by providing a common repository for interfaces. The central component of SAP XI is the SAP Integration Server, which facilitates interaction between diverse operating systems and applications across internal and external networked computer systems. How to see when were the optimizer stats last time run? We are using win2k, oracle 9, sapr346c. Assumed DB=Oracle Select any table lets take MARA here but you should do the same for MSEG and few others to see whether the dates match or not.Run the following command on the command prompt:select last_analyzed from dba_tables where table_name like '%MARA%'; This gives you a straight answer .Else you can always fish around in DB14 for seeing when the optimzer stats were updated. SAP Administration Questions Answers What is the use of profile paramater ztta/roll_area? The value specifies the size of the roll area in bytes. The roll area is one of several memory areas, which satisfies the user requests of user programs. For technical reasons, however, the first 250 KB or so of a user context are always stored in the roll area, further data - up to the roll area limit ztta/roll_first, - in the extended memory, up to the limit ztta/roll_extension or if extended memory is exhausted, then - again in the roll area, until the roll area is full, then - in the local process area, up to the limit abap/heap_area_dia or abap/heap_area_total or until the address space or the swap space is exhausted. Followed by termination with errors like STORAGE_PARAMETERS_WRONG_SET an error code, that points to memory bottleneck Minimum data transfer with context change; however, the increase helps to avoid problems (address space, swap space, operating system paging). *-- Anupam Sharma What is R/3? and what is basis version? SAP Basis: - Provides the runtime environment for all SAP applications - Optimally embeds the application in the system environment - Defines a stable architecture framework for system enhancements - Contains the tools for administering the entire system - Allows the distribution of resources and system components - Provides interfaces for decentralized system parts and external products. An R/3 instance is a group of R/3 services that are started and stopped as a unit (by an R/3 dispatcher) and have a common instance profile. The name of an R/3 instance is composed of letters standing for the relevant services, and an instance number which is unique for each computer. The services may be D, V, E, B, M, G, or S, which respectively stand for dialogue, update, enqueue, background, message, gateway, and spool services. Tips by : Suresh Babu I would like to know the version or name of SAP that is implemented in real time? This is a very generic question and really depends on what you are implementing (modules). The history of the "R/3" is 3.0D Basis 300 3.0E Basis 300 3.0F Basis 300 3.1H Basis 310 3.1I Basis 310 4.0B Basis 400 4.5B Basis 450 4.6C Basis 460 4.71 Basis 6.20 4.72 Basis 6.20 5.00 Basis 6.40 (ECC 5.0 - Enterprise Core components) 6.00 Basis 7.00 (ECC 6.0) - actually in RampUp All of those have increased business functionality and interfaces to other systems (CRM, BW etc.) What is mysap? It's a term for all the systems that in a contract (e. g. a MySAP business suite consist of ERP2005, CRM2005, SRM2005). What is the systems configuration required to implement SAP.. i.e for production,development and QAS servers the hard disk space, RAM, Processor This also depends on what your are implementing, how many users will work on the system, how many records in what area are created etc. We need a BIG database system and an even bigger application server for ~ 900 users and 12 languages. What is ASAP? It's an old term for an implementation strategy. Blueprint -> prototype -> goLive (if you want to say it in one sentence). How should I set priority for Printing say like user, teamlead, project manager? There's nothing like "priority" settings for spool processes. Just define more (profile parameter rdisp/wp_no_spool) processes so people don't need to wait. Using Tc SGEN I have generated 74% job and later I have terminated the job. I wish to start generating from where it stopped I have refreshed but to no chance nothing was done. How should I further proceed so as to complete the remaining job.. Start SGEN again and select the same you have selected before. It will popup and ask if you want to start from scratch or generate the just the remaining. Basis Administration Questions Answers What is th difference between Sap lock and database lock? A "SAP lock" is named "enqueue lock", the enqueue is on a much higher level, e. g. a complete sales document is locked there whereas in the datbase usually only row locks exist.

Next logon to the system where you want that particular role. PFCG-> Role -> upload. Give the path where the role is saved. it accepts and generates successfully. *-- Mahesh What is the need of having Development system? To develop and custamize SAP to companies requirement. say if you dont have DEV, after golive(started using SAP (PRD}) if you want to do some changes to application, you cannot do changes directly to PRD server, which may cause problem the PRD server live data. so you do the required changes on DEV first and test them on QAS, if it works fine them transport the same to PRD.
