SAP Note 25880 - ABAP/4 query: Generation error for functional areas

Symptom:

When generating a functional area, a type difference is found for a field. The type originally determined from the ABAP/4 Dictionary no longer matches the type currently listed in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. This points to changes in the ABAP/4 Dictionary since the last generation of the functional area.
In the following two cases, this error is mistakenly reported, for every generation.
1. The field f has the type C in the DDIC
In the Dictionary, the field has the DDIC type VARC, LRAW, LCHR or RAW with a length of more than 999 characters.
2. The field f has the type I in the DDIC
In the Dictionary, the field has the DDIC type INT1 or INT2.

Cause and prerequisites

Case 1:
Fields with a length of more than 999 characters cannot be included directly as fields in a functional group. As of Release 3.0, it is no longer possible to include such a field in a functional group when maintaining a functional area. An error message is returned.
Case 2:
The table to which the field belongs was added to a functional area as an additional table. In this case, the DDIC type INT1 or INT2 is not represented correctly on the ABAP type I.

Solution
Case 1:
To be able to evaluate the field data in a query, several additional fields must be defined. The additional fields should have the type C and a length useful for query evaluation. The contents of the additional fields are determined from the contents of the long character area. The first additional field may contain the first 100 characters of the long character area, the second additional field the second 100 characters and so on The additional fields can then be included in functional groups while the long character area is not transferred into the functional group.
Case 2:
The error is corrected in Release 3.0B, 2.2G or 2.1M. The advance correction described below can then be made. After this correction, the additional table must be removed from the functional area in question and then re-included.

SAP Note 25877 - Field check and names in condition tables

Symptom:

There are fields in a condition table for listing/exclusion for which no check is made against the check table. The name is also not displayed from the corresponding text table.

Cause and prerequisites

The check has only been implemented for the fields contained in the standard system.
Note 12905 only applies to pricing and output conditions.

Solution

In a later release, this check and the procurement of the text will be carried out automatically. Until then, you need to make the following modification.
A new check routine must be programmed for the new field.
To complete this check routine, follow the steps of the example that follow.
Example : Field ZZPRO5 is chosen as a new field, of which the first 5 positions represent a product hierarchy.

SAP Note 25872 - MF50: Call planning table w/o capacity data

Symptom:

If you call the planning table with MF50 without first showing capacity data, the new dates are not copied when you return to the planning table

Cause and prerequisites

The KBKO record is not read because the query on whether production rate planning or detailed planning should be performed is missing. Up to now, this query was only carried out when showing the capacity data.

Solution

Symptom:

Some (or all) material components are displayed several times in the schedule information system. This applies to networks with many material components (>200).

Cause and prerequisites

Solution
You have to prevent that material components are read several times.

SAP Note 25866 - Cost center and GR/IR clearing account

Symptom:

When posting goods received (trans. MR01) an incorrect SL summary record is updated, namely a record with the GR/IR clearing account and the cost center which is allocated to the corresponding consumption account. (this second line is also updated.) Thus, the cost center is debited too much.

Cause and prerequisites

The consumption cost center is placed into the line with the GR/IR account by MM so that CO has a link to the invoice. However, it was forgotten here that the SL therefore receives incorrect values.

Solution
As of 3.0B, the problem of MM will have been solved elsewhere. Until then an exit, which deletes the cost center in the GR/IR line, must be entered in the free field movement which is used for the activity RMWE: REPORT RGIVUxxx. "xxx the client
TABLES BSEG. "in 3.0A instead of BSEG ACCIT_GLX!
FORM E0x_MVC USING FROM_FIELD TO_FIELD. "x irgendeine Nummer
MOVE FROM_FIELD TO TO_FIELD.
IF BSEG-BUZID = 'W' AND BSEG-KTOSL = 'WRX'. "bzw. ACCIT_GLX!
CLEAR TO_FIELD.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.

Then enter U0x (x is the above exit number) as exit in the field movement in question (in the line in which the cost center is transferred).

Finally save the field movement, but only if no productive postings are made at the same time.

SAP Note 25863 - Error KC028 when creating cost centers/elements

Symptom:

When creating a cost center or a cost element, the error KC028 occurs: You are not in the home system of controlling area &
Creating is not possible.

Cause and prerequisites

In distributed systems, cost centers or cost elements can be created only in the logical system assigned to the controlling area. However, the controlling area is obviously assigned to a logical system other than the client that you are working in.

Solution
Please check whether the preconditions for the error message are applicable, that is, whether you should actually be working with distributed systems which are networked with each other by A.L.E. in your installation.
If this is not the case, the entries that do not match for the logical systems probably resulted from a client transport. In this case, please change the logical system of the controlling area so that it matches that of the system (in table T000). Alternatively, you could simply delete the controlling area (set to SPACE). To do this, you must change the basic data of the controlling area in the maintenance transaction.
If this is not the case, you can create cost centers and master data only in the logical system of the controlling area.

The error message "several copies of subscreen ... exists" is issued during generation and prevents the screen from being generated.

()EUNOTE, EUSCREENPAINTER, EUDYNPRO

Cause and prerequisites

The effect only occurs in customer systems with an early 3.00 Release.

SAP Note 25843 - Missing transaction in derived deprec.area

Symptom:

When calling a transaction data report for a derived depreciation area, no transactions are displayed.

Cause and prerequisites

The depreciation areas which form the derived depreciation area do not all exist for the fixed asset.
This is mainly the case for investment support.

Solution
Reporting is basically set up so that the derived depreciation area is also regarded as not existing if actual depreciation areas are missing.
This is also adequate for the case of the special reserves in Europe since not all fixed capital goods have special reserves and then the derived depreciation area should also not be shown.
In Release 3.0B, a derived depreciation area will have an extra indicator for whether it fulfills business or just analysis purposes. Furthermore, reporting will continue to wotk like this for derived depreciation areas with business contents. For the other areas, the derived depreciation area is set up purely as a difference area.
Until this time, you can correct the case with the following advance correction in module SAPDBADA.

Cause and prerequisites

Language element LOOP AT xyz CURSOR x is used in the flow logic of a screen. As long as there is not a database table with the name 'xyz', the screen is correct. If someone now creates a table with this name, the screen becomes incorrect although no changes were made to module pool and screen. If a table actually exists in the database, the loop has priority via it. However the additional specification CURSOR is not allowed for this LOOP AT database table.
As of Release 4.5A the visibility rule is changed to the effect that for the addition CURSOR the table is always taken from the program.

Solution
Delete table with SE11 from the DDIC. If this is not possible because of references to an SAP program, contact SAP.

SAP Note 25837 - Parked document cannot be posted

Symptom:

SAP Note 25832 - DB2/CS: Termination of R3trans -d aft. installation

Symptom:

After the installation, the system cannot be started with "startsap". R3trans -d
It terminates with an error message. The error message can differ depending on the kernel release. For example:
2EETW000 "I have some problems during TADIR access"
2EETW150 "SAP_DEXT called with msgnr 900:
Internal Error in DB Interface.

or
2EETW169 no connect possible: "DBMS = DB2/6000DB2DBDFT = 'D3E'
--- SYSTEM = '???'."
R3trans finished (0012).

The attempt to log on to the database via command line processor (CLP) as user adm or db2 with the command:
db2 " connect to "

fails with the following SQL error message.
SQL1116N A connection to or activation of database
cannot be made because of BACKUP PENDING. SQLSTATE=57019

Cause and prerequisites

After the database was converted to logretain mode, an offline backup as described in the installation guide was not carried out.

Solution
Unlike other databases, DB2 for AIX does not permit a logon to the database after conversion to logretain mode as long as no offline backup was made. This behavior of the database is useful. However, the error output during a premature attempt to start the SAP System is misleading since it does not refer to the error cause.

The R/3 System can be started after an offline backup of the database was made.

If you only want to activate the database log archiving at a later date, you can deactivate the database parameters LOGRETAIN and USEREXIT via the DB2 administration tools or with the commands
db2 update db cfg for using LOGRETAIN OFF
db2 update db cfg for using USEREXIT OFF

for the time being. Afterwards, a Connect to the database is possible again.
Note that it is not possible to carry out a rollforward recovery of the database as long as the database is not operated in the logretain mode.
Productive R/3 Systems must be operated in the logretain mode.

SAP Note 25831 - Costing: abend with parameter ID KKL

Symptom:

Cause and prerequisites

The transactions affected attempt to load the lot size directly into the intial screen. The format for the parameter "lot size" is QUAN which is not supported by the set/get parameters.

Solution

The lot size will no longer be found using the user parameters. To avoid the abend, change program SAPMC64S screens 0111 and 0141 as follows:

  • Call up transaction SE51
  • Enter Program SAPMC64S Screen 0111 or 0141
  • Select "Field list" and Change
  • Select field CKI64A-LOSGR I/O
  • Choose attributes for field
  • Deselect the fields "SET param." and "GET param."
  • Confirm your entry
  • Generate the screen
  • Call up transaction SM31
  • Enter Table TPARA
  • Delete the parameter "KKL"

SAP Note 25827 - Problems with function module MESSAGE_STORE

Symptom:

When function module MESSAGE_STORE is called, which is used for issuing error messages in CO from the buffer, mode COLLECT_AND_SEND = 'X' is not completed.
The function module calls function module CM_F_MESSAGE which, in turn, calls MESSAGE_STORE recursively with the same parameters. This chain terminates when the stack overflows (STACK_PARM_NO_ROLL_MEMORY or STACK_VALUE_TOO_LARGE).

SAP Note 25822 - Assignment of stat.key figs to activity types

Symptom:

No assignment (transaction KVD0) of statistical key figures to activity type if it is of the category 2 (indirect calculation, indirect allocation). System reports error KW752: Activity type & does not exist on cost center & in fiscal year &.

Cause and prerequisites

Activity types can only be provided with statistical key figures after previous ( activity planning ) planning.
However, it can also be useful for activity category 2 without previous planning to have statistical key figures (for example, for indirect activity allocation with retrograde quantity determination).

Solution
either: Correction P30K012814 for 3.0A (quite extensive)
or: Carry out manual (activity planning) planning for affected activity type and then assign statistical key figures.

Additional key words

SAP Note 25819 - MD02, MD03: A: Value of the field is too long...

Symptom:

Single-item plaing with "Display results" (MD02,MD03,MD43,...): when starting the single-item planning run - single-level - (MD03) and clicking on the "Display results" the system issues the message:
A: the value of the field is too long. Display not possible (message number 00020)
The same error may occur in the current stock/requirements list (MD04) or in the MRP list (MD05).
This occurs when the resulting list is so long that it takes up more than 99 pages (2.2G-2.2H or MD04/05: 999).

Cause and prerequisites

On several screens of programs SAPMM61X and SAPMM61R, the fields, 'RM61X-PANEW' and 'RM61X-PASUM' have only 3 character spaces (2.2G-2.2H or MD04/05: 4).

Solution
The problem has been solved for 2.2I and 3.0E.
A preliminary correction is possible.

Screens:
SAPMM61X/0210 (single-lines 'compact header'),
SAPMM61X/0220 (single-lines 'detailed header'),
SAPMM61X/0215 (ATP quantities) and
SAPMM61X/0260 (Period display)

SAPMM61R/0310
SAPMM61R/0315
SAPMM61R/0320
SAPMM61R/0330
SAPMM61R/0340
must be corrected:


Access transaction SE51 (Screen Painter) for Program = SAPMM61X
Screen number = 0210
and 215,220,260;
and Program = SAPMM61R
Screen number = 0310
and 315,320,330,340
Select partial object 'Fullscreen editor' and access the function "Change":
Both issue fields, 'RM61X-PANEW' and 'RM61X-PASUM' must be extended by 5 issue characters.
Procedure: - Select fields (F2)

- displace (F16), so that there is enough space for new
issue spaces.
- using 'field attributes' expand the output length by
entering two more '_' so that at least 5 '_' or 4 '_' and
a 'V' exist for the +/- sign in the 'field text' or (rel.
3.0) by setting the field length to 5.
Then you must generate the screen.

SAP Note 25798 - Update termination in update module SAPLV05D

Symptom:

Update termination in update module RV_MESSAGE_UPDATE.
A termination occurs when you save or print a sales document.
Error message: Termination 00671 (BCD_FIELD_OVERFLOW). A field overflow occurs in one of the fields LVBDPA-VOLUM, LVBDPA-NTGEW or LVBDPA-BRGEW.

Cause and prerequisites

Preconditions: One item has very large weights or volumes.

Solution
You can increase the fields used for the transfer. Please check, however, whether the sales document items contain realistic weights or volumes. Since the termination only occurs for values that are larger than 9,999,999,999.999, it is likely that the master data is maintained incorrectly.

Symptom:

In planning for orders or networks, if you delete the planned costs, then use the "Calculate costs" function, when you display the planned/actual report, the system displays the costs stored in the data base, although the object does not have any costs.

Cause and prerequisites

Program error. In the above circumstances, the planned/actual report does not contain the current costs for orders/networks without costs. Instead, it displays the costs from the data base.
The error only affects the display. The actual update of the planned costs is not affected.

Solution

SAP Note 25762 - System status with sales orders

Symptom:

Systems status not set by the system in sales orders.

Cause and prerequisites

For results analysis for sales order items, the standard system and the IMG for release 2.2 mention a valuation method for the status 'Revenue posted' = 'RVPS'. This method is not relevant since this status cannot be set. This is an error in the standard system and in the IMG.

The following statuses apply to sales orders:
REL The sales order has been released after being opened, and costs
and revenue can be posted.
DLV The sales order is delivered. From release 3.0C, this status
is determined dynamically during results analysis and can be
used for results analysis.
FNBL The sales order has reached final billing. This status must be set
manually up to and including release 3.0B. From 3.0C onwards, this
status is determined dynamically during results analysis, and
therfore no longer has to be set manually.
TECO The sales order is technically completed. All costs and revenues have been posted. This status must be set manually.

Solution
Standard system and IMG changed for release 3.0.

SAP Note 25761 - Dump certif. view QC02 SYSTEM_TYPE_NOT_ELEMENTARY

Symptom:

A termination occurs in the certificate profile transaction in the certificate view or when creating a certificate for the delivery item:
ABAP/4 runtime error SYSTEM_TYPE_NOT_ELEMENTARY.
Internal defect: Category 14 is not basic but complex.

Cause and prerequisites

The used layout set (for example layout set QC02) contains a line /: INCLUDE &QVDM_TKEY& OBJECT QVDM_MAT01 ID QVDM PARAGRAPH HT
with which the long text from the info record of the control data QM in SD is to be printed.

Solution
    1. If you do not necessarily require the long text from the info record of the control data QM in SD when displaying the certificate, you can do the following:
    Deactivate the corresponding line.
    In standard form QC02, you can find this line as follows:

    Transaction SE71, layout set QC02
    Change page window
    Text elements for window MAIN
    Search forward for the string &QVDM (two times)
    You are in line
    /: INCLUDE &QVDM_TKEY& OBJECT QVDM_MAT01 ID QVDM PARAGRAPH HT
    Deactivate the line, that is, overwrite the tag column "/:" with "/*".

This change must be made for all languages in which a certificate is to be printed.

    2. If you want to print the long text from the info record of the control data QM in SD when displaying the certificate:
      a) Change the above line by replacing with .
      b) Make the changes specified below in Include AAP00F06.
    3. The error is corrected in 3.0A. (Program RQCAAP00 and the layout set were changed.)

SAP Note 25758 - db02: missing primary index ONSTATO0 / ONSTATOPT_0

Symptom:

db02 recognizes that the table ONSTATOPT has no primary index

Cause and prerequisites

This primary index is accidentally deleted (program error) when running RSINFINI.

Solution
The table ONSTATOPT is used only when starting the R/3 interface to the INFORMIX tool onstat (that is, online). It contains only 62 lines. Thus, the loss of this primary index has no effect on the effectiveness of the R/3 System and can be left as is.
In addition, the index is recreated in later releases during the
run of RSINFINI. If, however, you still wish to create it yourself,
please read Note 25513.

SAP Note 25753 - Balance on GR/IR clearing account for OPUn

Symptom:

For an order item with order price unit (OPUn), the GR/IR clearing account is not cleared although the delivered quantity equals the quantity invoiced in the order unit.

Cause and prerequisites

This problem can occur if an invoice is posted before the goods receipt. The system valuates the subsequent goods receipt in accordance with the quantity in the order price unit. If the delivered quantity and quantity invoiced are now different from each other in the order price unit although the delivered quantity and the quantity invoiced are identical in the order unit, this problem occurs.

Solution
Please carry out the repair described below in program LMBGBFSU.
Then cancel the last goods receipt with transaction MBST afterwards for every affected order item for which the delivered quantity and the quantity invoiced are identical in the order unit. Directly after this, cancel the resulting reversal document with transaction MBST. After this, the order item in question has no balance on the GR/IR clearing account any more.
For the order items where the delivered quantity and the quantity invoiced are not identical in the order unit, no action is necessary. The balance on the GR/IR clearing account is automatically corrected by the following goods movements or invoices.

SAP Note 25733 - Scheduling parameters cannot be maintained

Symptom:

1. Scheduling parameters cannot be maintained with transaction IP10 (Schedule Maintenance Plan).
2. When you maintain the scheduling parameters with IP02 (Change Maintenance Plan), the following error message is issued:
E002 'Please enter a valid value'.

Cause and prerequisites

1. Scheduling parameters in Release 3.00 and 3.0A can only be maintained using the maintenance plan change transaction. When you schedule a maintenance plan (IP10), you can only display the scheduling parameters.
2. Interpretation of radio buttons has been changed in the Basis System.

Solution

SAP Note 25729 - Question: Transport of master or application data?

Symptom:

Customer would like to know how to transport masterdata from one system to another? Is it possible to do this by clientcopy?

Cause and prerequisites

tools and support for configurating and organizing a multi-system szenario (Test-/ Quality-/ Education-/ Production system)

Solution

To Migrate data from one system to another there are only 2 techniques supported by SAP. Therefore you have to distinguish between

    • Master data, related to the application environment and
    • customizing data of the customer's enterprise.

Master data may only be migrated via batch-input techniques. Only by this method consistency may be guaranteed according to the checks performed during entering data into R/3 system. Transporting configuration data between two R/3 systems is supported via the customizing maintenance functions as follows.

  • Release 2.1/2.2: please use the 'transport' function in the menu bar. Mark the enties in the objekct list of your customizing object. By saving that marked list the entries are recorded within a transport order.
  • Release 3.0: You may specify the current client in the client table T000 to automatically support change recording in a tranport order.

Answer for Question: Is it possible to do this by clientcopy?
-> Only in context of a complete clientcopy, i.e together with all customizing data (configuration data). Copy of application data only without customizing data is not able to be supported because in this case no consistency checks would be done

SAP Note 25727 - RFBIBL00: Termint. F8199 'More than two accunts..'

Symptom:

When you create batch input sessions using program RFBIBL00 (document transfer), the program terminates with error message F8199 "More than two accounts are transferred" or, as of Release 3.0, error message F8021 "More than two accounts were transferred."

Cause and prerequisites

The input file contains a transaction with more than 950 line items (BBSEG).

Solution
An FI document can only consist of a maximum of 999 line items. However, the document transfer may only contain a maximum of 950 line items; the remaining line items are reserved for the line items automatically generated (for example, for tax data).
For this reason, the transfer file may also only contain a maximum of 950 line items for each transaction.

If you want to create more line items, you have to split up the source document into several documents which do not contain more than 950 line items.
If you are creating automatic line items in the SAP System (for example by means of taxes), we recommend you split the document after 900 line items.

SAP Note 25721 - RFC logon Screen

Symptom:

While connecting to an application server of the same database, you receive a remote logon screen to fill out. This should not occur, since you already logged on to the system.
(This occurs, for example, with Transaction SM51 or SM12)

Cause and prerequisites

The system determines the wrong database identifier in 3.0 in the following situations:

* you are using different network cards to access your database.
* you are using a AIX SP/2 system.
* you are using Oracle SQLNet V2.

Solution
When setting SAP profile parameters:
rfc/sysname = ... (for 3.0 and 3.1 kernel release) or
rfc/security_key = ... (for 4.0 and 4.5 kernel release) on a character string (for example rfc/security_key = ...ABCDEFGH...) on all shared application servers of the SAP system. The application server must then be restarted to activate the profile parameter changes. By doing this, all servers without a RFC logon screen can be accessed. It is important that the selected character string is a freely selected and unique character string.
The reason for the problem must be found and eliminated by the respective person responsible for the database.
The problem is corrected with Release 3.0A.

SAP Note 25709 - FDTA: No data records found FZ208

Symptom:

The DME management does not display any data after selecting the overview although data carriers had been created.

Cause and prerequisites

No data was found for the selection conditions entered.
Possible reasons are:
The control data is no longer in the system because a reorganization run has already been performed or because individual data was deleted using the DME management.
The input values are incorrect.

Solution

Check all input values and repeat the transaction. Typical problem sources are:

  • The company code specified is not the paying company code.
  • The specification of the bank country of house bank is incorrect. Providing you are not using the ISO code as country indicator, mistakes can occur ("D" <> "DE").
  • When you select the field "Data carrier without download", you have to keep in mind that you cannot select data carriers that are stored on the file system.
    If in doubt, select both fields.

SAP Note 25700 - Sched. agreemt for comp. suppliers - New del.sched.

Symptom:

In already existing delivery schedules or JIT delivery schedules for which the fields for the last delivery posted at the customer (VBLB-LFNKD) and the cumulative received quantity at the customer (VBLB-ABEFZ) are not filled, the cumulative received quantity at the customer is set equal to the cumulative delivered quantity in the delivery schedule when you press ENTER or when you exit the screen. This is incorrect as the cumulative quantities should be set equal only when a new delivery schedule is created.
The situation described above leads to:

  • you receive Message V4016 'Save your changes first' when you exit the delivery schedule although nothing has been changed.
  • the open quantities due for delivery being calculated incorrectly for delivery schedules already delivered.
Cause and prerequisites
Solution

SAP Note 25685 - Batch input document management: Object assignment

Symptom:

When coyping document info records via batch input, termination CONVT_NO_NUMBER occurs if object assignments for work breakdown structure elements are to be copied.

Cause and prerequisites

The WBS elements are converted from the external character field in length 24 to the internal numerical format in length 8. The transfer structure DRAD_BI only contains the eight-character field for the internal format. For this reason, the external 24-character number of the WBS element cannot be sent.

Solution
In Release 3.0A, you cannot create object assignments for WBS elements via batch input.

SAP Note 25676 - FILC: Runtime error during data selection

Symptom:

The selection program RGCSEL00 terminates with the following error:
ABAP/4 runtime error CONVERT_NO_NUMBER
Routine 'RECHNEN' is given as additional information on the point of termination.

Cause and prerequisites

The error only occurs if the selection was started using the option 'Calculate ratios'.
Keys were used in the ratio formulas that were not specified with 10 characters, for example, 'K(00010000)' instead of 'K(0000010000)'.

Solution
Check your ratio definitions in the financial statement item maintenance and make sure that the used keys are specified with 10 characters.

SAP Note 25661 - KP96: Mesg GP623 'Activity RKPA does not exist'

SAP Note 25619 - ISHCM problems with NFS mounted disk drives

Symptom:

The R/3 communication module works if it writes on a local disk drive. However, as soon as a disk drive is mounted via NFS, then the R/3 communication module no longer works.
The HCM programs remain hanging since the transceiver programs themselves are also hanging.

Cause and prerequisites

This problem is caused by locking problems.

Solution

Eliminate the locking problems. The following situations can cause this problem:

    1. Another application has set a lock on the file or on SS_STAT.dat.
    2. the authorizations for the file or for SS_STAT.dat are incorrect. They should be set to 0666 (rwrwrw in UNIX).
    3. Program PUT_TAB is unable to create the file in this directory. Possibly, also to change authorizations.
4. NFS-specific mounts should be checked whether the NFS processes LOCKD and STATD are running correctly in both systems. On the NOVELL side, you must ensure that the file locking mechanisms are to be used when mounting. These are absolutely necessary.
If hanging situations have already occurred, the hanging UNIX processes canot be exited using KILL -9. This is an indication that the processes are hanging in the operating system kernel. The only way out here is to restart the system.
On HP platforms there was (possibly still is?) in this context a bug: the lock entries of other computers were not removed in the directory /etc/sm (or /var/statmon/sm or similar). To be on the safe side, this directory should therefore be emptied before you restart the system.

SAP Note 25583 - Line items: Totalling quantities

Symptom:

The system can display the Quantity (MENGE) and Unit of measure (MEINS) fields (from BSEG) in the line item display, but it does not total the quantities.

Cause and prerequisites

Not programmed

Solution
There is no solution available at the present for the releases mentioned below.

Simply including MENGE in the internal totals tables would lead to the addition of quantities with different units. The automatic formation of blocks for different document currencies would not work if you wanted to look at total quantities and an automatic formation of blocks for different units of measure would not work if the fields are not contained at all in the current variants.

As of Release 4.6B quantities are totaled using the correct units.

SAP Note 25586 - Why is a field suppressed during posting?

Symptom:

A field is suppressed during posting or when displaying a document without any obvious reason.

Solution

Shown in an example of field BSEG-KURSR (hedged exchange rate):

    1. SE17-TMODU

FAUNA (1st field): SKB1-FAUS1
Table name : BSEG
Field name : KURSR
Execute -> in "Group" column you will find the field selection item
(here: 032).
(If you know the screen which contains the field, you can also see this from modification 1 of the field attributes.)

    2. SE17-TMODO

FAUNA : SKB1-FAUS1
Group1 : 032
Group
Select all - Execute
-> "1ALLG" group

    3. SE17-TMODG

Language : (for example) E
FAUNA : SKB1-FAUS1
Group : 1ALLG
Name
Select all - Execute
-> "General data" description

    4. SE17-TMODP

Language : (for example) E
FAUNA : SKB1-FAUS1
Group1 : 032
Select all - Execute
-> "Hedging" description

    5. FS03: Determine the field status group of the G/L account in question (for customer/vendor: the reconciliation account).
    "GR01" for example.
    6. Within Customizing, choose the path Business transactions - Base

parameters - Control - Field status definition (Transaction OB14) and the entry Field status variant - Field status group (determine, for example, field status variant from T001 using SE17) and "Edit field status"

You can now use the path determined above:

    • Select "General data"
    • Then select the "Hedging" subgroup: Is "Suppress" selected for the subgroup? You may want to select the optional entry.
    7. In addition, a field can be suppressed using the posting key (Business transactions - Base parameters - Control - Posting keys, Transaction OB41).
    Proceed as specified under 6.
    8. A field can also be suppressed due to internal rules. Therefore, you must determine modification group 2 of the field (see point 1) (thus, you have to know a screen that contains the field).
    In the example, you can see on screen SAPMF05A/0332 that BSEG-KURSR has modification group 2 "010".
    Now search for a statement in program SAPFF001 using FIND 010 in routine DYNPRO_MODIF_INT which begins with

WHEN 010.
and you will find, for example, IF BKPF-WAERS EQ T001-WAERS
OR RFOPT-XNOWA NE SPACE.
D01_RC = 4.
ENDIF.and you can draw your conclusions.
(D01_RC = 4 means: Field is suppressed
D01_RC = 8 means: Field is displayed but not ready for input).

    9. A field can also be suppressed due to other internal rules. Therefore, you must determine modification group 3 of the field (thus, you have to know a screen that contains the field).

In the example, you can see on screen SAPMF05A/0312 that group 3 = "001" for the business area in the tax items.
Now search for a statement in program MF05AO00 using GROUP3 in module DYNPRO_MODIFIZIEREN and analyze the source code.

You can use the following overview to find certain fields on screens:

Acct type Data screen Other data screens
--------- ----------- ------------------
D 301 331
K 302 332
S 300 330

SAP Note 25591 - Changing the DBM, SYSDBA and DBA user passwords

Symptom:

You want to change the database user passwords.

Other terms

DBMGUI, DBMCLI, SQLSTUDIO, control, password, password change, user, dbmuser, dbmpwd, superdba, sapr3, sapsid, sapsiddb

Reason and Prerequisites

The latest versions (7.6) of DBMGUI and SQLStudio are required wherever these are mentioned. Install the DBMGUI of Version 7.6 to change the passwords using the procedure described in this note.

You can use the tools belonging to MaxDB Version 7.6 to manage databases with MaxDB kernel versions lower than Version 7.6 also.

For restrictions in relation to the choice or length of the password, see the MaxDB documentation.

Solution

In principle, there are several types of database users. These are described in detail in the documentation (Note 767598).

    1. Brief description of the user types:

    a) DBA user
    The DBM user can manage the database 'externally'. This 'primary' user is specified in the 'db_create'.

    dbmcli -R db_create TST control,control

    This 'primary' DBM user
    - can create other DB users
    - is managed at operating system level
    - is used for start, stop, backup, recovery, db_drop,
    and so on
    - uses the DBMGUI for working on the database

    The default DBM user in the SAP environment is called 'control'.

    b) SYSDBA user
    The SYSDBA is the user with the most privileges in the database. This user is specified when the database is activated.

    util_activate superdba,admin (SAP DB Versions 7.3/7.4)
    db_activate superdba,admin (MaxDB Version 7.5 and higher)

    The SYSDBA user
    - only appears once in the database
    - is managed within the database
    - is used for all types of SQL statements
    - generates other SQL users
    - is an SQL user that uses SQLStudio for working on the database.

    The default SYSDBA user in the SAP environment is called 'superdba'.

    c) DBA user (schema user)

    The DBA is a simple user within the database. This user is created using SQL tools before the database contents are loaded.

    create user sapr3 password sap dba not exclusive ...

    A DBA user
    - can be created as many times as you like
    - is managed within the database
    - is used for SQL commands that the user can execute as part of its DBA
    authorizations
    - owns the tables of the relevant application in each case
    - can log onto the SQLStudio

    A default DBA user in the SAP environment is
    sapr3, sap (depending on the R/3 version)
    sapdb (in the Java environment)

    d) Domain and Sysinfo user

    Domain and Sysinfo users are special users that are used only for internal administration. These users cannot access application data. You are not required to change these passwords.

Note:
To simplify logon procedures, SYSDBA users are also available at DBM user level and the 'primary' DBM user is also in the database.

    2. Changing the DBM user password

    The database must be 'offline'.

    You can either change the password for the DBM user with the DBMGUI or directly at operating system level with DBMCLI.

    2.1 Change with DBMGUI

    Call the DBMGUI and log onto the database where you want to change the DBM password.

    Configuration -> DBM Operator -> Select the DBM user, for example 'control' using 'Properties' and enter the new password twice using 'Change'.

    2.2 Change with dbmcli

    Log onto the relevant database as a DBM user with DBMCLI.

    Change the password with the user_put command as follows:
    user_put password=
    For example: dbmcli -d C11 -u control,control user_put control password=new

    Note: If you have saved default logon data in the DBMGUI, make sure that this is also adjusted.
    Procedure: To validate the new password on your Windows PC within the DBMGUI, log onto the database by double-clicking again the relevant icon, but this time with the new password for the DBM user. (Confirm the error message '-2 ERR_USRFAIL: User authorization failed' to go automatically to the logon menu.) You must then save the new password with 'Store User Name and Password' for the implicit logon.
    You must carry out this adjustment on all Windows PCs that allowed you to access the database via the DBMGUI in the past and should allow you to do so in the future.

    The password changes are immediately active.
    3. Changing the SYSDBA user password

    The database must be 'offline' or 'warm'.
    You can change the password for the SYSDBA user with either SQLStudio, DBMGUI or DBMCLI.

    3.1 Change with SQL Studio (only database core versions lower than Version 7.6)

    Log onto the relevant database on SQLStudio with the SYSDBA user (for example, 'superdba').

    Execute the following SQL statement:
    alter password to

    After executing this SQL statement, you must now load the system tables so that the new SYSDBA password is also maintained at DBM level (file: *.upc).

    a) Loading the system tables with DBMCLI:
    If you load the system tables with DBMCLI, you must then specify the new SYSDBA password in this case.

    b) Loading the system tables with DBMGUI: the system tables are loaded using
    Configuration -> Upgrade Systemtables

    Note:
    When loading the system tables, you will see the error message
    -24909 SYSDBA unknown [load_systab....].
    Once you confirm this error message, you must specify the logon data for the SYSDBA (for example, 'superdba') with the new password and the domain password.

    3.2. Change with DBMGUI

    Call the DBMGUI and log onto the database where you want to change the SYSDBA user password.

    Enter Configuration -> Database User -> SYSDBA user (for example, 'superdba') with the existing password. Then highlight the SYSDBA (for example 'superdba') and choose 'Properties'. Using 'Change', specify the new password twice. The password is thus automatically updated in the *.upc file. You are not required to load the system tables.

    3.3 Change with dbmcli

    Log on as a DBM user with DBMCLI to the database:
    for example, dbmcli -d C11 -u control,control
    Change the password with the user_put command as follows:
    user_put password=
    for example, user_put SYSDBA password=new
    The password is automatically maintained in the *.upc file in this case also. You are not required to load the system tables.
    4. Changing the DBA user password

    The database must be 'offline' or 'warm'.
    You can change the password of a DBA user with SQLStudio or with DBMGUI.

    4.1 Change with SQLStudio

    a) The password for a DBA user is changed by SYSDBA:

    Log onto the database as user SYSDBA in the SQLStudio.

    Execute the following SQL statement:
    alter password

    b) The DBA user password is changed by the DBA itself.

    Log onto the database as the relevant DBA user (for example, SAPR3) using SQLStudio.

    Execute the following SQL statement:
    alter password to

    4.2 Change with DBMGUI

    Call the DBMGUI and log onto the database where you want to change the DBA user password.

    If you are changing the password using the DBMGUI, make sure that the DBA user whose password you are changing is not logged onto the database. Otherwise, the system will display the following error message when you change the password:
    -24988 sql error [sql_execute ALTER USER ...DBA TIMEOUT NULL ....
    -7048 Drop User not allowed while user is connected

    The password is changed as follows:
    Configuration -> Database User -> Log on as user SYSDBA and
    highlight the DBA user whose password you want to change. Using
    'Properties' and 'Change', enter the new password twice.
    5. Maintaining the connection data for the various applications

    You must also save the new passwords directly in SAP products, depending on the particular SAP product used.

    a) Precomp. (R/3, WebAS, SCM, all applications that run with disp + work)
    In this case, you must maintain the Xuser data on all instance servers in accordance with Note 39439.

    b) Java applications manage the connection information for the database in the Secure Store.

    c) SCM connection to the liveCache
    You use transaction LC10 to maintain the connection data.
    In this case, a special command must also be executed for the DBA user.
    To do so, log onto a command line with dbmcli on the liveCache:
    dbmcli -d LCA -u control,control
    > user_sap ,
    >exit

    d) Secondary database connections using transaction DB59
    You must also maintain the new user data in this case.

SAP DB systems can also be operated with RAID architectures without limitations as long as the following statements are taken into consideration:

  • The log should be physically separated from the data. That is, it should not depend on the same controller.
    For the log, using a DUAL mode (2 hard disks for Release 6.2, 3 hard disks for Release 6.1) is recommended.
  • Mirroring is not absolutely necessary.
    If the log is to be used with RAID, it must be RAID1 (complete mirroring). The logging procedure is a sequentially based action, i.e. the write head(s) normally retain its (their) position until the next request. This advantage is destroyed by Stripe Sets or RAID5.
    As of Release 6.1.1, the DUAL LOG mode has one transaction log (1 hard disk) and one archive log reflected in the database. The NORMAL LOG mode has one transaction log and a non-reflected archive log, that would be mirrored via RAID1.
    If you choose the DUAL mode in 6.1.1, the system goes on running if a log is lost.
    The log mode SINGLE can also be used with RAID1 (3.1.2 and 6.1.1)
  • Data can be stored in RAID5 disk arrays under observation of a few critical areas (see below) in RAID5 disk arrays. The following should be taken into account:
In Release 3.1.2, all systems up to Windows NT should be used with 2GB raw partitions. As of Release 6.1, larger partitions are possible under AIX 4.x and OSF/1.
When selecting the RAID array, you should make sure that sufficient Caches are available (Minimum 16 MB) and that the entire data IO is not concentrated on one controller. This applies especially to Release 3.1.2, in Release 6.1.1 it is no longer as relevant.
RAID5 is generally slower than other systems, especially when writing. Better values can only really be achieved with a very generous cache and controller rating.
Security aspects must be matched against performance in this case.
Due to these facts, we can only partially recommend the use of RAID5 for hard disks. The new I/O implementation in Release 6.1.1 allows RAID5 to be used ealier, although the writing performance must be observed in the high-end, as it may cause problems.

SAP Note 25580 - SAPDBA: Incorrect message: Control files missing

Symptom:

SAPDBA reports that control files are missing, although they exist

Cause and prerequisites

In the init.ora profile, the ORACLE home directory was specified with "$ORACLE_HOME" instead of with "?".

Solution
In the init.ora profile, enter the ORACLE home directory with "?" and the ORACLE-SID with "@".

SAP Note 25561 - Allocation: receiver values are written to sender

Symptom:

The allocation in FI-SL by mistake writes receiver values to the sender records.

Cause and prerequisites

The error can actually only occur if the distribution or allocation is made to exactly one receiver value and if this dimension is specified only in the receiver.
Example:

Sender:
Account 400,000
Business area 1000

Receiver:
Business area 1000 - 2000
Cost center 4711

In this case, the sender records would by mistake contain cost center 4711 although this is only specified for the receiver.

Solution
This problem is a conceptual one, which you can only correct by creating yet another dummy segment that contains the same sending and receiving dimensions but no valid master data values (for example, account DUMMY, cost center XXXXXX).
As a result, different source code is generated and the error no longer occurs.
Then you can of course ignore the messages for the dummy segment in the message log.
