Re: What does mean by SWAP? Where should we monitor this?

what is
the threshold value for swaps/day? If it is more what will u do?
Answer the accessed data will sit in the buffer.
# 2 If someone is
trying to access the same data, that will
be retrieved fast
from the buffer. If the buffer is full
and some one is
retrieving the data which is not there in
the buffer then
that data will be fetched from DB and
placed in the buffer and the oldest data
in the buffer will be swapped for this.
More number of
swaps means more DB hits. If there are
more Swaps we can
increase the buffer size

Re: WHAT ARE THE STEP BY STEP PROCESS TO APPLY JAVA

PATCHES through JSPM ON SAP R/3 SYSTEM?
Answer Steps for Patching JAVA Stack
#2
Once the required patches files are
downloaded from Service
Market place, then move all the patches
files to global EPS
inbox directory /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in.

Step 1: Start the JSPM tool from

\usr\sap\<SID>\
DVEBMGS00\j2ee\JSPM\go.bat .It will
prompt for the JSPM password.

Step 2: Choose the Deployment tab. JSPM

guides you through
the process of applying a support package
stack via a
wizard, which consists of the following
five options:
1.Select Package Type 2.Specify Queue
3.Check Queue 4.Deploy
Queue and 5.Completed.

Step 3: Select Support Package Stack

type(option button).
Support package Stack, Single Support
Package etc..
NWDI controls:(option button)
If your system is not used for NWDI
development, select No
NWDI. And If your system is used for NWDI
development,
select the role of your system by
selecting one of the
following: DEV, CONS, TEST, or PROD.

Step 4:Choose Next.

Support package stacks that are available
for deployment
from the global EPS inbox directory are
displayed in the screen.

Step 5:Click on Next button

JSPM starts the deployment of the
software components that
are part of the selected support package
stack. The status
of all software components changes to
SCHEDULED.

Note: If the support package stack

includes a kernel
upgrade, and if your system is
distributed, during the
deployment you will be first prompted to
stop the central
services instance and any running dialog
instances, and to
choose Next. You will be then prompted to
start the central
services instance and to choose Next.

Step 6: The deployment of the components

of the support
package stack can finish with the one of
the following status:
*DEPLOYED
*DEPLOYED WITH WARNING
*ERROR
*NOT DEPLOYED

If the support package stack includes the

JSPM, when it has
been updated, for the update to take
effect, you will be
prompted to restart it. If there are
still components in
status NOT DEPLOYED, JSPM will proceed
with their deployment
when you start it again.

Bear in mind that you must not change the

content of the
global EPS inbox directory before the
deployment has finished.

Step 7: Click Next

If the deployment of the support package
stack has finished
with status DEPLOYED, you can choose New
Deployment or Exit

Completed

Re: after changing some parameters in rz10 and restart, the system
doesn't start up?what to do?
Answer When you make changes in RZ10 and save
# 2 it, before
overwriting the profile files in
/sapmnt/<SID>/profile
folder the system makes a file with
extention .BAK which is
created just before overwriting the
original file.
So incase if you system doesnt comes up
after making
changes in RZ10. Just backup the current
profile files and
then rename the .BAK with the original
file name which will
bring back the old profile status, then
try starting the
SAP system.
As a best practice you should always back
the profile files
before making any changes to it.

for Eg: If you are running Va01,in its
initial screen you
need to put all field value every day

Enter Pid and value there and save.
from next time onwards if the user hits
Va01 he will get
all the values automatically coming in
initial screen.

screens
2. Columns missing and Rows missing.

Return code (8) indicates not imported

ended with error
Ex:
1. Syntax error.
2. Program generation error.

cancelled.
Ex:

down while importing.
2. Import cancelled due to user
expires while importing .
3. Import cancelled due to
insufficient roles.

In the real time we are facing only

RC=08.why becase in the
