SAP: substitution/validation transactions
A quick and simple way to locate a validation/substitution rules can be achieved through the utilization of two transactions GGB0/GGB1 respectfully.
Within the transaction if accessed the menu panel Environment – Directory one can select the level of detail and display an entire collection of all the rules that exist in the system.
FLEX: BlackBerry SDK basic compilation error [locale]
When I tried creating a new project with the BlackBerry sdk I ran in to the following error:
Description Resource Path Type LocationUnable to resolve resource bundle "collections" for locale "en_US".Flex Problem Unknown
Although annoying I quickly found a solution:
- Go to the Project Properties
- Navigate to Flex Compiler
- And type in the following line
-library-path+="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\
blackberry-tablet-sdk-0.9.0\frameworks\locale\en_US"
SAP: Enable substitution rule changes
If your substitute changes are not taking effect make sure that you have an entry in the GB01 table. Once you mark down the column you want to change be sure to re-generate the programs. Here’s how you can do that.
SAP: re-generate OBBH substitution rules
Sometimes its worth regenerating your substitution rules – to do this execute program RGUGBR00.
SAP: Send an Email with executable SAP command
If you want to send an email with an attachment that can link you directly to an SAP transaction here’s how you do it:
- Create an attachment.sap file in your ABAP application
- Populate the file with the following information
[System]Name=<sysid>Description=Short DescriptionClient=<clientid>[User]Name=<userid>Language=EN[Function]Title=Display PO informationCommand=ME23 RM06E-BSTNR = <PO Number>; BDC_OKCODE=/00
When you double click on the file you’ll be redirected to the ME23 screen.
SAP: BeX Exception Broadcasting
Interesting article summarizing the process of sending out email messages based on exception filters in a query.
SAP: logging table changes
When a table is configured there is an option to log the changes that are done to the information.
You can then check who mad the changes and when the change took place by running report RSVTPROT.
SAP Portal [object is currently locked by user]
If you are working with an SAP portal and get to a point that you are unable to edit an object because it is locked by a user [most likely your own user] you have the option to release the lock by performing the following action:
- Select System Administration
- Select Monitoring
- Expand Portal menu on the left hand side
- Select Object Locking
- Select the locked object and click the Unlock button
ABAP Runtime Analysis – variant setup
Runtime analysis can be used to quickly get to the bottom of which tables are referenced during a transaction/program/function-module call.
I like running SM30 over ST22 because you get a nicer presentation of what tables were hit. ST22 tends to bee too detailed in majority of my scenarios.
By default the report is initialized with the DEFAULT variant. This is limiting and will not give you as much information as you might want. Typically on a new system I set up my own variant that allows me to access more information.
Steps to set up your own variant:
Select the drop down option in the Variant selector panel- Click the green check-box on the next screen without changing the parameters of the Selection Criteria for Variants pop-up
- You will be presented with two default Variants – DEFAULT and TMP; ignore those and click on the Create button
- Type in the name and continue
Here’s the most important part of this trick. When you get to the main configuration page of the variant go to the third tab [Duratn/type] and in the Aggregation pick the None option.- Once done click Save as… button and you are ready to run your Analysis.
