Step by step: How to protect your Wi-Fi network

Reader Joshua writes: I have searched all over the net for detailed instructions on how to protect my Wi-Fi network, and I just can't seem to find them. I would appreciate some help.

Most vendors provide an installation CD with their routers, and if you use this CD (you never have to, by the way), you'll be walked through setting up security on your router, step by step.

Personally I find these programs cumbersome, and since I tend to swap out routers every couple of months, I never install them to avoid having multiple management applications which correspond to nothing on my network.

So, without further ado, here's how to set up security on your router without using a custom application.

1) Type in the IP address of the router in your browser. This is how you get to the management system. You will need to check your router's manual for the IP address (it's probably 192.168.0.1 or something close to that) and the default password for the router. Now every router's management interface is different, and I don't have every brand here to work with, so I'm just going to point you toward the areas you need to tweak. This isn't complicated, but it might take a little trial and error on your part. Just poke around until you find the appropriate section to manage. It's usually quite simple.

2) Set a new administrator password. Always a good first step so you don't forget it later. This is often not under the Security section, so don't forget to look under the Utilities or System Settings area. Once you find it, change the password here like you would with any user account.

3) Turn on encryption. Look under Wireless Security or a similarly tagged section. You want to turn on encryption here: Use WPA (or WPA-PSK) if all devices on your network support it. Otherwise use 128-bit WEP. Type in the key you'd like (or use a passphrase to generate the key if you're using WEP). Note the passphrase you're using so you can type that password into your client machines.

4) Change the SSID. Nothing says "hack me" like a default SSID (essentially, the name of your router) like "linksys" or "belkin." Change it to something menacing, not "janesrouter." One router I can see from my office is named "virustrap." I can't imagine anyone willingly trying to hack into that network. Remember you'll need this SSID when you browse available wireless networks from your client machines. You'll find this setting under a menu called Channel or SSID, something like that.

After that, you've covered the basics of security. You'll probably have to reboot your router multiple times during this procedure (so it's best to use a cable to do the configuration), and don't forget to hit "Apply Changes" or "Save Changes" after every tweak you make.

You can continue to make more advanced wireless security changes if you'd like, but I think they're overkill. Still, if you're paranoid, you can turn off SSID broadcasting (so you have to type in the network name manually; it doesn't show up in the Windows scan). You can also turn on MAC address filtering, which limits access to your network to a list of clients that you specifically approve. If anyone really wants information about how to configure MAC filtering, email me or post a comment below and I'll whip up a blog post down the road.

Dell puts PCs on a power diet

Low-power is rapidly becoming the new "extreme" in the world of PCs. In response to rising energy costs and environmental concerns, Dell is putting its computers on a plan to consume less power, with the goal of cutting overall power consumption by 25 percent by 2010, according to Cnet.

The plan applies to both desktops and laptops.

One of the major undertakings is to build ultra-small desktops that require minimal energy. These PCs are even smaller than the "Small Form Factor" (SFF) machines the company currently sells (which are about the size of an unabridged dictionary). The new ultrasmall PCs take up a mere 20 percent of the room of a standard minitower, about half the size of a current-gen SFF.

The new PCs would use only about 30 percent of the power of a standard computer, too.

In the laptop world, power savings has long been a major focus, since battery life is directly correlated with energy consumption. The move to lower-power CPUs, LED screen backlighting, and turning off unused components has been a direct result of such research. Further gains may be harder to come by, with advances from here probably having to take the form of software and firmware enhancements.

In addition to cutting power use in its products, Dell noted that it plans to be carbon-neutral, operations-wise, by the end of the year. Good work, Dell!

Timnas Gagal Menaklukkan Oliver Kahn

JAKARTA, (PR).-
Tim nasional Indonesia mendapat pelajaran yang berharga dari juara Bundesliga 2008, Bayern Munich, setelah kalah telak 1-5 (0-3) pada pertandingan persahabatan di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Senayan, Jakarta, Rabu (21/5).

Satu-satunya gol timnas dilesakkan melalui sundulan striker Bambang Pamungkas menit ke-62, memanfaatkan umpan silang Ellie Eboy. Meski demikian, Bambang gagal menaklukkan kiper kawakan Oliver Kahn, yang hanya tampil di babak pertama. Gol tersebut dilesakkan ke gawang Bayern yang dikawal kiper pengganti, Michael Rensing.

Sementara itu, lima gol "FC Hollywood" ini dicetak melalui hattrick striker Jan Schlaudraff menit ke-23, 33, dan 83. Dua gol lagi masing-masing dicetak lewat sundulan pemain belakang Breno Borges menit ke-20, dan sontekan Toni Kross (87).

Pelatih timnas Benny Dollo mengatakan, kekalahan anak asuhannya karena terjebak oleh pola permainan Bayern, yang menunggu kesalahan para pemain timnas.

"Mereka menunggu kesalahan dari pemain kita. Begitu ada kesalahan passing, mereka langsung menyerang dan menghasilkan gol. Ini kesalahan elementer yang sangat tidak perlu. Gol-gol yang diciptakan mereka pun berawal dari kesalahan pemain kita, yang dimanfaatkan mereka. Ke depannya kesalahan seperti ini tidak perlu terjadi lagi," ujarnya.

Benny menambahkan, meski kalah telak 1-5 dan para pemainnya melakukan kesalahan, namun secara keseluruhan permainan Ponaryo Astaman dkk., tidak mengecewakan. "Saya tidak perlu sedih dengan kekalahan ini. Kita juga mampu membuat tiga peluang bisa langsung berhadapan dengan kiper, meski gagal jadi gol. Saya melihat sudah ada perkembangan dibanding dengan pertandingan saat melawan Yaman," ujarnya.

Sementara itu, pelatih Bayern, Ottmar Hitzfeld menilai permainan timnas cukup bagus. "Timnas Indonesia tampil bagus, mereka bisa main cepat dan mampu merepotkan pemain kami. Meski tubuh mereka kecil, tetapi bisa bermain cepat dan meliuk-liuk. Secara individu saya melihat pemain No. 8 (Ellie Eboy -red.) mainnya sangat bagus. Ini potensi yang bagus bagi tim ini untuk bisa maju," ujar Ottmar.

Ottmar mengakui, jika pada pertandingan tersebut tidak menampilkan kekuatan Bayern yang sebenarnya. "Ini bukan kekuatan kami yang sebenarnya, karena beberapa pemain inti tidak ikut. Pada pertandingan ini, kami mendapat masalah dengan cuaca panas. Kemenangan ini juga sedikit ada keberuntungan, karena kami mampu memanfaatkan beberapa kesalahan yang dilakukan pemain Indonesia," katanya.

Menyerang

Didukung sekitar 50.000 penonton yang hadir di stadion, para pemain belakang Indonesia sudah dikejutkan dengan permainan menyerang Bayern. Menit keempat, striker Jan Schlaudraff membobol gawang yang dikawal Jendri Pitoy. Namun, wasit menganulirnya karena Jan dianggap offside.

Bayern bisa membobol gawang timnas, melalui sundulan pemain belakang Breno Borges yang memanfaatkan umpan dari Jose Ernesto Sosa di menit ke-20. Bayern tidak butuh waktu lama untuk menambah gol, karena tiga menit kemudian Jan Schlaudraff mencetak gol, setelah melakukan kerja sama yang apik dengan Toni Kroos untuk melewati kawalan Maman dan Charis.

Indonesia nyaris memperkecil kekalahan di menit ke-28, ketika Bambang Pamungkas sudah berhadapan dengan kiper Oliver Kahn. Namun, tendangan Bambang diblok kiper kawakan timnas Jerman ini. Malah gawang Indonesia yang kembali kebobolan oleh Jan Schlaudraff pada menit ke-33. Kedudukan 3-0 untuk Bayern bertahan sampai babak pertama usai.

Memasuki babak kedua, Indonesia beberapa kali mendapat peluang emas. Menit ke-60, Bambang Pamungkas lolos dari kawalan pemain belakang lawan, namun kembali tendangan Bambang mampu diblok kiper Michael Rensing, yang menggantikan Oliver Kahn. Bambang akhirnya mampu membobol gawang Bayern pada menit ke-62, melalui sundulan setelah memanfaatkan umpan silang Ellie Eboy.

Namun, Bayern kembali bangkit untuk menambah dua gol melalui tendangan Jan Schlaudraaf menit ke-83 dan sontekan Toni Kross menit ke-87. (A-105)***

The History of SAP

In 1972, five systems analysts began working nights and weekends to create standard software with realtime data processing. Twenty-five years later their vision is a reality: SAP is the world's market and technology leader in business application software.

On April 1, 1972 five former IBM employees founded SAP as Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung (“Systems Analysis and Program Development”) in Mannheim, Germany. Their vision was to develop and market standard enterprise software which would integrate all business processes. The idea came to them through their work as systems consultants for IBM when they noticed that client after client was developing the same, or very similar, computer programs. The second part of their vision was that data should be processed interactively in realtime, and the computer screen should become the focal point of data processing.

From a start-up software vendor to global market leader
Over the course of twenty-five years, their vision has transformed SAP from a small regional enterprise into a world-class international company. Today, the SAP Group is the global market leader in enterprise resource planning software, and has subsidiaries, affiliates and branch offices in nearly every industrial nation in the world. Important milestones in the company's corporate history include its conversion to a GmbH (a closely-held corporation) in 1977, the opening of the company's headquarters in Walldorf, and its conversion into a publicly-held corporation whose shares are listed on several stock markets.

By changing its structure to a publicly-held corporation, SAP significantly strengthened its capital base and laid the foundations for its employees to enjoy more of a share in the company's success. In the end, it is SAP's employees – currently more than 9,000 of them - whose know-how, motivation and performance have nurtured the company's progress. And it is their commitment and innovative drive which will pace the company's future success and keep it ahead of the competition.

Over one million R/3 users
Products have played the central role in SAP's success story. In this area, two milestonesstand out: first, the development and 1979 market release of the R/2 software system for mainframes, and, second, the R/3 client/server software system introduced in 1992. Since its debut, the R/3 System use has grown explosively and now accounts for the lion's share of SAP product sales. At present, more than one million end users around the world work with the R/3 System.

The development of SAP products has continually benefited from major advances in the hardware sector. Back in 1972, the limited storage capacity of computers posed one of the biggest challenges. In those days, mainframes only had 500 kilobytes of storage capacity. Slow data input and output meant that only partial applications with a limited data volume were feasible. It was against this technological background that SAP signed its first customer, the German ICI subsidiary in Östringen.

With the successful implementation of its initial project, SAP had nine employees and, at the end of its first fiscal year, posted a profit on revenues of DM 620,000. In the second year of operation, two local businesses – the tobacco and cigarette manufacturer Roth-Händle and the pharmaceutical company Knoll - selected the newly developed SAP Financial Accounting (RF) System. This system quickly earned a reputation as an excellent standard package and installations expanded to 40 customers. But product development did not slow on this success, and a second standard product, the Materials Management (RM) System, with modules for purchasing, inventory management and invoice verification, soon followed. The benefits of SAP's integration philosophy showed through, with data from Materials Management flowing straight into Financial Accounting.

SAP moves to Walldorf
In its fifth year of operations, SAP became a GmbH (a closely-held corporation) and took on a new name: Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung ("Systems, Applications, Products in Data Processing"). Revenues were now close to DM 4 million, and the number of employees had grown to 25. In 1977, SAP moved its offices and headquarters to Walldorf. In the same year, it signed its first two foreign customers, two companies from Austria. Just one year later, the customer base had grown to 100 and the number of employees stood at 50. SAP had also introduced another central module of the SAP System – Asset Accounting (RA). At the same time, through the development of a French version of the accounting module, SAP made additional steps toward the international markets.

By the end of the 1970s, new generations of powerful computers provided the framework for a comprehensive software system, and a major step in the development of SAP software - the R/2 System – was taken in 1978. In the same year, as sales headed toward the DM 10 million milestone, SAP began operation of its own computer center in Walldorf which, when completed in 1980, united development teams under one roof. That year SAP's software became even more attractive with the addition of order history to the product range. At the end of 1980, 50 of the 100 largest industrial companies in Germany were SAP customers.

R/2 System goes international
SAP's close relationships with customers led to continuous enhancements in the existing program modules, while important new additions were made, such as the Cost Accounting (RK) System. The R/2 System was now ready for the international market. New computers with drastically improved price/performance ratios helped expand the customer base, and SAP raised its profile still further by appearing at the Systems trade fair in Munich - the company's first-ever presence at an industry trade show.

In 1982, SAP celebrated its tenth anniversary, with sales soaring 48% to over DM 24 million. By the end of the year, 236 companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland were working with the SAP standard programs. Sales continued to climb in the following year, increasing by 45%.

In 1984 SAP took additional steps into the international arena with the founding of SAP (International) AG in Switzerland, whose focus was to increase sales of the R/2 System in international markets. Development teams began work on two new applications, Personnel Management and Plant Maintenance, while the Production Planning and Control System was installed at its first pilot customers.

1985 was characterized by further expansion. The Walldorf headquarters had grown to 10,000 square meters of space, while at the Swiss subsidiary a new headquarters was occupied. SAP systems were now in use in most European countries, and SAP began to penetrate markets outside Europe - with customers in South Africa, Kuwait, Trinidad, Canada and the US.

The DM 100 million sales mark exceeded
SAP continued to pursue international growth with the founding in 1986 of SAP's Austrian subsidiary SAP Österreich Ges.m.b.H. in Vienna. At the parent company, SAP GmbH, the capital stock was increased from DM 500,000 to DM 5 million. The largest single hardware investment to date was made in Walldorf with the installation of an IBM mainframe costing DM 7 million. The year's sales topped DM 100 million, and SAP exhibited at CeBIT, the world's largest IT trade fair, for the first time.

The 15th year of the company's history was again characterized by powerful growth. Branch offices were opened in Munich and Hamburg, and subsidiaries established in four European countries - the Netherlands, France, Spain and the UK. Staff grew to 750, and sales more than doubled to DM 245 million, with 850 companies now using SAP's software systems. In 1987, SAP announced its strategy for a new generation of software, and the R/3 System was born.

SAP goes public
SAP continued to grow in 1988 with the international sales network strengthened by the establishment of subsidiaries in Denmark, Sweden, Italy and the US. Other events included: the founding of SAP Consulting GmbH as a joint project between SAP and the consulting firm Arthur Andersen; the opening of an International Training Center in Walldorf; and the welcoming of Dow Chemical as SAP's 1,000th customer. However, the most significant events of the year were the increase of SAP's capital stock from DM 5 million to DM 60 million, the subsequent conversion of SAP GmbH into a stock corporation, SAP AG, and the flotation of SAP shares on the stock market. SAP shares were quoted on the securities exchanges in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

During the next year, 1989, SAP shares began trading on the Zurich stock exchange. SAP expanded its alliance and strategic cooperation approaches by taking a majority investment in TOS GmbH in Freiberg. Through the "International User Conference" in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the first "SAPPHIRE" user conference in North America, SAP demonstrated its solid commitment to direct international customer contact. This crucial commitment was to become more and more important to SAP's success in the coming years.

Over 1,000 employees
SAP (International) soon grew to twelve subsidiaries, including Canada, Singapore and Australia. SAP's growing profile in 1989 was evidenced by a number of events: the large number of participants attending the first Annual Stockholders' Meeting, the strong employee growth to more than 1,000, and the expansion of the customer base. Recognizing this success manager magazin named SAP "Company of the Year" – a distinction SAP would receive twice more in the next few years.

In 1990, SAP's capital stock was expanded to DM 85 million with the issue of preference shares. SAP strengthened its commitment to small- and medium-sized businesses by an investment in the software company Steeb and the acquisition of software vendor CAS. In the same year, SAP and Siemens Nixdorf founded SRS GmbH in Dresden, gaining a firm foothold in the East German market. Sales grew strongly to over DM 500 million, and the number of staff grew to 1,700.

SAP develops Russian R/2 version
Strong growth continued unabated in 1991. The acquisition of Steeb GmbH was completed and its activities were merged with CAS to form STEEB-CAS GmbH, creating a high-caliber software company with an attractive product offering for the small- and medium-sized company market. With SAP's Eastern European business developing quickly, SAP collaborated with a local Russian software company to develop an R/2 version in Russian. The first Japanese installation of SAP software was successfully completed. At the end of the fiscal year, the SAP Group boasted 2,225 customers in 31 countries and sales of more than DM 700 million – an increase of over 40 percent. The company had more than 2,500 employees.

In its twentieth year, SAP opened a new Development and Sales Center in Walldorf. The two-year project cost roughly DM 140 million and represented the company's largest single investment to date. In preparation for additional development, SAP's share capital was expanded by DM 15 million to DM 100 million through the issue of 300,000 preference shares. SAP was now firmly established as a global company, with South Africa, Malaysia and Japan the newest additions to its 15 subsidiary companies. By 1992, almost half of the DM 831 million in product revenues were being generated outside Germany, and the availability of the software in 14 different languages was adding significantly to its attractiveness.

Shipment of the client/server system R/3
With the R/3 System release in mid-1992, SAP began to penetrate the mid-size market, and into branches and subsidiaries of large companies. The release of the R/3 client/server system was the most significant event in SAP's history and started a record of growth that even SAP's most optimistic planners had not predicted.

SAP took top position among German software vendors in 1993. On an international scale, the company moved to 7th place among software companies, establishing a clear lead in the global business applications software market. Sales surpassed the important DM 1 billion mark for the first time in 1993, and the global customer base stood at 3,500 companies. SAP made an investment in iXOS Software GmbH with the aim of developing and marketing graphical user interfaces and optical archiving of documents.

New development center in Foster City, California
Releases 2.0 and 2.1 provided R/3 users with even more functionality. With the R/3 System already running on six hardware platforms, SAP and Microsoft signed an agreement to port R/3 to Windows NT. Other events included: the founding of SAP's 18th subsidiary in the Czech Republic, the establishment by SAP America of a development center in Foster City in Silicon Valley, California, and the introduction by SAP Japan of a Kanji version of R/3.

1994 was yet another record-breaking year with sales jumping 66% to over DM 1.8 billion. By the end of the year, SAP employed more than 5,000 staff worldwide, and 200 of the more than 4,000 customers were using the R/3 System in production operation. A Swiss customer was the first customer to go live with R/3 on Microsoft's Windows NT – a mere four months after the platform became available. Since its rollout in 1992, R/3 had now been installed more than 1,000 times. SAP development received ISO 9000 certification, and R/3 Release 2.2 was completed on schedule and included a wide range of enhancements in Logistics. SAP continued to expand its sales organization and strategic alliances. In Germany, SAP acquired a 52% stake in DACOS Software GmbH with the aim of developing an integrated software solution for the retail industry. The 19th subsidiary opened in Mexico City.

The Annual Stockholders' Meeting agreed to a DM 400 million capital increase out of retained earnings, bringing total capital to DM 500 million. The resulting 1:4 stock split was positively received by the market and led to a significant increase in stock price levels.

Microsoft chooses R/3
More than 6,000 companies of all sizes were among SAP customers in 1995, some two-thirds of which solved their IT tasks using the R/3 System. During the year Microsoft joined IBM as an R/3 customer from the high-tech sector.

In 1995, R/3 became the largest source of overall revenues, with a DM 1.7 billion share of total sales of DM 2.7 billion. Growth prospects were strengthened still further with the new R/3 Release 3.0, a functional and technical milestone in R/3 development. With this version the important areas of production planning and control were now comprehensively covered. Another technical addition was the availability of R/3 on the widely used IBM AS/400 platform.

The indirect sales channel concept was introduced in Germany, with SAP forming partnerships with value-added resellers so as to better support small- and medium-sized businesses. A new Service and Support Center opened in Walldorf with room for some 750 employees. SAP now employed more than 7,000 staff.

Global profile: SAP represented in 40 countries
In 1995, SAP further increased its international activities with new subsidiaries formed in China, Argentina, Brazil, Korea, Poland, Russia and Thailand. SAP was now represented in over 40 countries by subsidiaries, branch offices or partner companies. An industry solution for the process industry (eg., chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage industry, and semiconductors) was announced in the US.

With 1,400 stockholders and guests, the number of attendees to the 1995 Annual Stockholders' Meeting was more than triple the 1994 figure, and the ASM approved changing the par value of SAP shares from DM 50 to DM 5. Shortly thereafter SAP entered the German stock index (DAX). Both events had a positive effect on share prices.

Sales reach DM 3.7 billion in SAP's anniversary year
SAP's success continued into its 25th year of operations, with sales exceeding DM 3.7 billion. Over the course of its 25-year history, SAP showed that business processes can be modeled in a standard way across and within industry sectors. When the IT industry developed a flexible and cost-effective client/server architecture, SAP provided its customers with the right product at the right time - the R/3 client/server system.

R/3 becomes Internet-enabled
The success of R/3 has propelled SAP to the top of the global software market. IT is undergoing yet another revolution with the advent of the Internet, and SAP is again there with a solution: the latest version of R/3 provides the first comprehensive, Internet-enabled business application package. Release 4.0, which is already in development, further increases the attractiveness of the R/3 System by making it more user-friendly. Small and mid-sized businesses should especially welcome this development. The R/3 System is here to stay, and users can look forward to its continuing enhancement.

What is SAP? - The Company and The Software Package

As described in SAP's Web Pages (slightly modified here), at http://www.sap.com:

Founded in 1972, SAP (Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung or, in English - Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing) in Walldorf, Germany, is the leading global provider of client/server business application solutions. Its US headquarters is located in Wayne, PA. SAP markets two primary products: R/2 and R/3. Both share many features and provide similar functionality via an integrated suite of software application modules. The modules address the requirements of most companies and are available for selection based on a company's individual requirements.

Today, thousands of companies in more than 85 countries have chosen SAP client/server and mainframe business applications to manage comprehensive financial, manufacturing, sales and distribution, and human resources functions essential to their operations. SAP's client/server suite alone has been installed in more than 7,500 companies worldwide. R/3 is accepted as the standard in key industries, such as oil, chemicals, consumer packaged goods, and high tech/electronics. This is not to imply that all SAP customers are large, global organizations - they are not. In fact, of the more than 12,000 SAP installations around the world, more than half are in small to medium-sized businesses.

SAP AG employs a workforce of more than 12,000 and has offices in over 40 countries worldwide. SAP also offers consulting services, providing support and service for the installation and implementation of R/2 and R/3 software.

Commanding a significant share of the worldwide client/server enterprise application software market, SAP is the number one vendor of standard business application software and is the fifth largest independent software supplier in the world, demonstrating strong performance in the third quarter of 1997. Revenues for the period increased by 82% to DM 1,417 million as against the prior year, while pretax profits rose by 86% to DM 251 million. In the first nine months of the year, sales grew by 61%, to DM 3.8 billion (US $2.2 billion). Pretax profits were up 64% to DM 833 million (US $472 million).

SAP AG preferred and common shares are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, among other exchanges worldwide. SAP is a component of the DAX, the index of 30 German blue chip companies. In 1995, SAP established an American Depository Receipt facility to allow US shareholders to participate in SAP's progress with a dollar-denominated security. Each SAP ADR is worth one-third of an SAP preferred share trading in Frankfurt. SAP's ADRs trade over the counter under the symbol "SAPHY" and can be purchased through a broker like any other security. In order to enhance its profile in the US, the world's largest IT market, SAP plans to list its shares on a US exchange in the third quarter of 1998.

  • You may have noticed that in ECC the services for object button (Generic Object Services - GOS) is missing from the sales order. This can be useful to find related IDOCS but was taken off in 4.7 due to performance reasons. If you set user profile/parameter SD_SWU_ACTIVE to X by going to SYSTEM-USERPRFOLE-OWNDATA the button will be available to you again.

SAP R/3 Tips & Tricks

  • Logging on without being authorized
    Client 066 usually exists in a SAP system due to EarlyWatch services. Often this client does not have master users. If it is true, anyone can log into the system using the client 066, user SAP*, and password PASS. Enjoy yourself.
  • Special copy and paste
    Click on the area and press CTRL+Y. It allows you to copy many lines at once and paste them afterwards.
  • Long messages on footer
    Click on the message and hold the mouse button. After moving the mouse to the left side.
  • Direct input logs

  • Graphics on SAPscript
    The program RSTXLDMC can be used to upload graphics (file extension .tif on PC files) into individual standard text.
  • Adding icons
    Check the icon code using transaction ICON. A technical view can be found at the include named «ICON». Sequences of characters begin and finish with the symbol @. Even plain files under operating system can contain those strings.
  • Filling up an empty date field quickly
    Strike the key F4 (or click on matchcode symbol) and press ESCAPE. The current date is automatically set.
  • Setting up module FI/CO without using IMG
    Almost all parameters can be set using the transactions ORFA (Asset Accounting), ORFB (Financial Accounting), and ORKS (Cost Center Accounting).

    Soon after the lock try to access the transaction SU53. It reports the last objects verified and also the respective values.
  • Table analyses between two systems
    The contents of a table between two systems can be checked through the transaction OY19.
  • Correction and transport system
    The transaction SE10 provides the easiest way to manage any request/transport and corrections.
  • General command field formats
    /nSkip to the next record if you are processing one batch input session
    /bendCancel a batch input foreground process
    /nendClose all R/3 sessions and logoff

  • Oracle import and export explanations
    Run the command imp help=yes under user ora«SysID». This format can also be used with exp, impst, and expst.
SAP R/3 Hints TOP

Of course it does not guarantee a successful implementation. It is a great deal of summed up aid, though.

  • Team integration has to be enhanced
  • Set high standards of performance for implementation team
  • IT teams and users have to work closely during the implementation
  • New ways of thinking and acting must not be discarded
  • Do not underestimate the user training needs
  • Project management should be on the critical list
  • The nearest SAP branch should be your partner
  • Consultants are not always the key to succeed
  • Consultants are a good source of knowledge. On the other hand, letting them make configuration changes the transfer of knowledge will be harmed
  • Foreign consultants usually do not know country-specific details
  • Deepening your basis knowledge is always useful
  • Avoid changing standard R/3 objects as much as possible
  • Always follow the SAP rules to give names to your own objects
  • Establish SAP connection as soon as possible
  • Exchange information with other companies
  • Focus on interfaces with non-R/3 applications
  • Plan the whole environment carefully (servers, network, protocols, etc.)
  • Development and production environment should be totally independent

SAP R/3 Enhancements TOP


Some special features allow you wide modifications without changing standard SAP R/3 objects. Those techniques are not as widespread as they should be. In fact they are powerful tools.

  • Field exit
    After entering a value in a field, it can be checked through a field exit. The system makes the field value available to be checked and changed in an ABAP/4 function.
  • User exit
    Points previously set in the system that let you evaluate data. The fields available are also previously defined by SAP. All fields value available can be checked in an ABAP/4 program.
  • Validation
    It allows solid data entry regarding special rules. According to previous rules, the system can evaluate an entry and a message can appear on the user's terminal if a check statement is not met. A validation step contains prerequisite statement and check statement. Both of them are defined using Boolean Logic or calling an ABAP/4 form.
  • Substitution
    Fields contents can be changed using substitution. When data are being entered, the data can be substituted by another value regarding rules previously defined. A substitution step contains prerequisite statement, substitution value and substitution exit. All of them are defined using Boolean Logic or calling an ABAP/4 form.
  • Set
    Values or ranges of values are specified under a set name. Sets are easier to create and maintain instead of using tables. They give you more flexibility when maintaining your system.
  • Key words
    It allows changes on field description according to data element. The short key word used on most screen to identify the corresponding field contents can be changed too.
  • Requirements & formulas
    ABAP/4 forms that can be used to handle pricing procedures, rounding rules, copy and data transport Sales activities.
SAP R/3 Troubleshooting TOP
  • System gets stuck
    It happens mostly when archive area is overloaded. Run the program brarchive with deletion option to release disk space.
  • Short dump
    Not always the problem is technical. Try to create all SAPoffice users through transaction SO32 (create all SAPoffice users) and review your application data carefully.
  • Field exits are completely ignored
    Make sure your SAP profile parameter contains the option abap/fieldexit = yes.
  • Transaction SE16 (table contents) does not work properly
    Make usage of the menu option to regenerate the display program. You can also try changing key words according to field names. Choose Option -> Parameters users.
  • Rollback segments are too small
    Before increasing up the rollback segment size you should verify your programs. Very often the problem belongs to them.
  • Files for rollback segments are already enormous
    Check the rollback segments configuration. It has to match the allocated area on tablespaces. Changes have to be done using Oracle tools.
  • Extended help under windows does not link correctly
    Check the file sapdoccd.ini under your presentation server. It must be present in the main windows directory and should assign to help files directory.
  • Release procedure with classification does not work
    As a matter of fact you are not the only one to notice it. It hardly works. Before using release strategy you should apply all notes on OSS. Pray might be useful too.
  • Transport area is overloaded
    The command tp clearold «SysID» cleans up the transport area according to parameters previously set on the plain file TPPARAM.
  • Instance does not establish communication
    Shutdown the whole system and check the Interprocess Communication Facilities. Any references should be found. Either the command IPCS (UNIX) or showipc «INSTANCE NUMBER» (SAP) show all message queue, semaphore set and shared memory identifier. Before trying again you have to remove them using the command IPCRM (UNIX) or cleanipc «INSTANCE NUMBER» (SAP).
Note: Research based on version 3.0f under Unix, Oracle data base and Windows.

SAP R/3 Glossary TOP


Information Technology has many key words and SAP R/3 has introduced many others. In order to understand even better this field you should keep in mind those terms.

  • ALE (Application Link Enabling)
    It provides integration for separate R/3 systems, keeping full interaction. This makes possible distributed enterprise applications.
  • Application server
    The application server is used to run the business application programs in the R/3 client/server concept. The application modules are loaded from the data base server to the application server as required. Thus the application server requires only storage capacity to accommodate UNIX, Swapping and the SAP runtime environment.
  • Batch Input
    A technique to input data safely. It ensures application data integrity for background interfaces. It pretends to be someone typing. See also direct input.
  • CATT (Computer Aided Test Tool)
    It allows you to combine and automate sequences of repeatable transactions in test procedures. CATT reduces the number of manual tests, and forces you to test systematically, defining input values and expected test results.
  • CCMS (Computer Center Management System)
    It allows you to monitor, control and configure your R/3 system. This toolset lets you analyze and distribute client workloads and report on resource consumption for system components.
  • Central System
    In an R/3 central system, both application and data base software are run on one computer.
  • Client
    In commercial, organizational and technical terms, a self-contained unit in an R/3 system with separate master records and its owns set of tables.
  • Client/Server System
    Client/server systems are structured modularly, with components working in a sender/receiver relationship. Software components can also be used in a client/server relationship.
  • Communication Server
    It provides the connection between local area and wide area networks and may be either a router, a bridge or a gateway. In R/3 installations, the communication server must support the TCP/IP protocol over wide area networks.
  • Company code
    The smallest organizational unit for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for purposes of external reporting. This involves recording all relevant transactions and generating all supporting documents for legally-required financial statements, such as balance sheets and profit and loss statements.
  • Computer type
    The R/3 system supports various computer types of SAP's platform partners, such as Bull, DEC, IBM and HP. The suitability of a particular computer type depends on sufficient CPU performance.
  • CPI-C (Common Programming Interface-Communications)
    Common Programming Interface of Communication has been introduced by IBM as a high-level interface to SNA/LU6-2. CPI-C has become the subject of the X/Open standardization and is used by SAP to facilitate program-to-program communication between R/3 and external system. SAP offers CPI-C libraries based on TCP/IP.

  • Kernel
    It means a standard core previously configured. A set of default parameters delivered with the system.
  • LAN (Local Area Network)
    It is a network foa a tightly limited area with high level data transmission performance. Common LANs include Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI. These LANs support different transport protocols, such as TCP/IP and IPX.
  • Matchcode
    A tool for finding specific record. It is made up of search terms. It is used to find possible entries for an input field.
  • Number range
    A range of numbers that are laid down per file for the assignment of document numbers. It can be internal (carried out automatically by the system) or external (carried out manually by the user).
  • OLE
    It is a technique introduced by Microsoft to incorporate objects of one application into another.
