Locking/Unlcoking a Client in a SAP System....

Locking/Unlcoking a Client in a SAP System....

To lock or unlock a client only in an in R/3 System, run the following functions via tcode SE37:

SSCR_LOCK_CLIENT - run this function module using SE37 transaction and specify the name of the client to be locked. In this case the SAP default users will be able to login.

SSCR_UNLOCK_CLIENT - run this function module using SE37 to unlock the client.

Locking/unlocking the entire system, an admin can use the following commands:

1. tp locksys pf=

2. tp unlocksys pf=

- transport profile in /usr/sap/trans/bin usually -> TP_DOMAIN_.PFL

If you want to lock a client then another way is to lock all the users so that no one can log in to that particular client which can be done using transaction SU01 for small number of users and SU10 if there are large number of users.

Note Before you do mass locking of users in SU10 make sure you make a note of all the users who are already locked. Otherwise when you unlock the users in SU10 those locked users may alsp be unlocked.

Determining whether 32 bit or 64 bit Windows....

HOW TO: Determine Whether Your Computer Is Running a 32-Bit Version or 64-Bit Version of Windows XP

SUMMARY

This step-by-step article describes how to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system or a 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system. To determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit Windows operating system or a 64-bit Windows operating system, examine the system information. To do this, use one of the following methods.

Note Intel Itanium-based computers can only run 64-bit versions of Windows. Intel Itanium-based computers cannot run a 32-bit Windows operating system. Currently, 64-bit Versions of Windows only run on Itanium-based computers.

Use My Computer to Check System Properties

1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. In the System Properties window, click the General tab.
3. Note the first line under Computer: • On 64-bit systems, Itanium or Itanium 2 appears on this line.
• On 32-bit systems, a value other than Itanium or Itanium2 appears on this line.

Use the Winmsd.exe Tool to Check the System Type

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type winmsd.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. Locate System Type in the right pane under Item. Note the value. • If the value that corresponds to System Type is X86-based PC, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
• If the value that corresponds to System Type is Itanium–based system, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.


Use the Winmsd.exe Tool to Check the Processor

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type winmsd.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. Locate Processor in the right pane under Item. Note the value. • If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
• If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.

* Click the SET Internet button and put * as the address (you can make some restrictions here, i.e., *.company.com).
* Click OK.
* Select settings. The default is domain.
* Execute the RSPO0075 report in SE38 tcode and create the e-mail method "M".
* Create a new output device in the SPAD transaction and enter PDF1 as the device type and M as the access method. No e-mail is required.

Thats all. Then, when you want to send any report by e-mail in a PDF format, you should pull up the report to your screen. Then go to print, select the output device created before and enter the destination e-mail address. Don't forget to select "print out immediately."

You also need to be sure to have the RSCONN01 report scheduled to run periodicaly (i.e., every 15 minutes).
This report is resposible to deliver the SAPconnect objects.

Note: This tip only works from WAS620.

Plant 001 is missing in ECC 6.0 (EC02 Tx code)

Plant 001 is missing in ECC 6.0 (EC02 Tx code)

When you install ECC 6.0, your functional consultants may come to you and report this error..

You will not be able to use the Plant 0001 in your system even though it exists in the system.

Reason for this system-behavior is, that Plant 0001 does not have
a valid addressnumber and as a result also has no corresponding
entry in the Central Address Management (CAM).

Many Applications in the R/3-System using Searchhelp H_T001W or
similar searchhelps.

This Searchhelp uses (among others) the following parameter:

T001W-ADRNR = ADRC-ADDRNUMBER

In your case, T001W-ADRNR is initial and a corresponding entry in
ADRC is missing. That´s the reason why 0001 is not displayed.

SAP does not recommend the useage of Plants without address data.

To avoid this "error", simply re-maintain the missing address data
(e.g. via OX10 => "Envelope" - Button). During saving the changes,
also a new addressnumber will be taken from the addressnumber-range,
and the corresponding ADRC-Entry will be created.

Once you maintain this data you can use the Plant 0001 for making another Plants (copying).
