WebGui for SAP

1)verify if the ICM is working correctly. Transaction SMICM (ICM Monitor)
displays the central entry point to the ICM configuration and monitoring. After starting this
transaction, you will see the ICM status. Make sure it is running. Check the following ICM
parameters via Menu-> Goto -> Parameters ->Display:

icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP,PORT=8000(PORT Number can Varies )
icm/host_name_full server.full.domain
2)With transaction SICF and locate the
services by path
/sap/public/bc/its/mimes
/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
3)Activate the full path to these services
4)Browse to
http://server_name:icmport/sap/bc/gui/
sap/its/webgui/ and login to the
webgui.


Use Following transcation if you face any service error:
#SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INTERNAL (Transcation used to publish all the service )

ITS WEBGUI Activation (Back End )

1. Make sure Internet Communication Manager (ICM) is up and running. You can check it by calling transaction "SMICM". A window pops up where the ICMS status should be "Running" and show the green light.
2. Make sure the Fully Qualified Domain Name is set up on the server. You can check it by calling transaction "RZ10" (Edit profiles). There should be an entry with "icm/host_name_full=mybackend.project.mycompany.intra"
3. Set "INTERNAL" as the publishing site:
   Start transaction "SE80". In the top menu choose "Utilities(M)" --> "settings...". Right-click on the tab-arrow until you come to tab "Internet Transaction Server". Choose tab "Publish" inside and check mark "Integrated ITS".
4. Start transaction "SE80". Choose "Internet Service" from the first drop down box located in the middle of the left side pane. Enter "SYSTEM" in the input field below and click the glasses-like button "display" next to it. You will see the ITS service SYSTEM and its components in a tree structure. Right click on "SYSTEM" in the tree and select "Publish" --> "Complete Service" to publish the service. Once the publishing is completed the system will issue a message "Object published successfully; site INTERNAL".
5. Repeat the previous step with "SHUFFLER" and "WEBGUI" instead of "SYSTEM" to publish both, too.
6. Set missing parameters:
   Execute transaction "SICF". Enter "Hierarchy Type" = "SERVICE ", then click on checkmark "execute (F8)". Now browse to "default-host" --> "sap" --> "bc" --> "gui" -->"sap" --> "its" --> "webgui". Right-click on it and choose "Display Service". Under tab "Service Data" inside chapter "Interactive Options" click on button "GUI Configuration". In the blank line, insert following parameter:
   Parameter Name: "~webgui_theme"
   Value: "sl"
7. Clear cache:
   Execute transaction "SITSPMON". Select tab "Template and Mimes tab". Under tabs "Invalidate Template Caches" and "Invalidate MIME Cache", click on "System-wide"
8. Test WebGUI:
   Execute transaction "SICF". Enter "Hierarchy Type" = "SERVICE", then click on checkmark "execute (F8)". Now browse to "default-host" --> "sap" --> "bc" --> "gui" -->"sap" --> "its" --> "webgui". Right-click on it and choose "Test Service".
   A browser window (Internet explorer) pops up with the URL "http://mybackend.project.mycompany.intra:8002/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=100". It asks for username and password. Enter your credentials that you used for SAP-Logon. Then you should see a screen similar to the initial SAP-Logon screen: a screen titled "SAP Easy Access" with the SAP menu.

Error report :

"No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password" 

---> Use FQDN

DNS Not able to Report:

Tape Backup Reference

Below link give basic idea about taking Tape backup in unix platform.

http://baheyeldin.com/linux/using-tape-backup-on-linux-for-a-home-network.html


-->Aix you can use smitty 

BOT	The tape is positioned at the beginning of the first file.
EOT	A tape operation has reached the physical End Of Tape.
EOF	The tape is positioned just after a filemark.
WR_PROT	The tape (or drive) is write-protected. For some drives this can also mean that the drive does not support writing on the current medium type.
ONLINE	The drive has a tape in place and ready for operation.
DR_OPEN	Door is open. Depending on the type of drive, this usually means that the drive does not have a tape in place.
IM_REP_EN	Immediate report mode. This bit is set if there are no guarantees that the data has been physically written to the tape when the write call returns. It is set to zero only when the driver does not buffer data and the drive is set not to buffer data.
SM	The tape is currently positioned at a setmark. DDS specific.
EOD	The tape is positioned at the end of recorded data. DDS specific.
D_6250 D_1600 D_800	This "generic" status information reports the current density setting for 9-track 1/2 inch tape drives only.

Extending the Expiry of License date:

Serveral tricks to be followed to change the expire date:

First Trick :

1. When you install IDES you can move forward your Windows datetime into the future date. eg : 01.01.2020 (22 years foward)
2. After you finished installation, then start SAP MMC for the first time in the future date.
3. Doing any kind of activities using SAP GUI, still in the future date
4. Stop SAP MMC
5. Restart your machine
6. Change your date to the correct date
7. Start SAP MMC again
8. Now, you have IDES for 22 years

Second Trick :

1. Move backward your computer date to installation date before start SAP MMC
2. In some case, this trick only work if you haven't start your SAP MMC after license is expired

If the first and second trick doesn't work, then you can try an illegal trick.

Third Trick.

1. Download "ZAPGUI" (Sap R3 License Keys Generator), you can download from p2p network. eg : eMule
2. open SAP GUI
3. Enter login using sap* or other super user
4. Open t-Code "SLICENSE"
5. Click "Install" button
6. Run ZAPGUI
7. Fill some field in ZAPGUI according to Installation information in SLICENSE
>> Customer Key = fill it with Hardware Key
>> Installation Number = Ints. Number
>> SID = SAP System
>> YYYYMMDD = 99991231
8. Click "Install" button in ZAPGUI
9. Copy license key on the Result Field
10. Paste into "Key" field on SLICENSE
11. Press enter to install new Crack License
12. Stop SAP MMC
13. Restart your Machine
14. Start SAP MMC

Now, you have 2 license, after the trial license is expired then automatically then second license will be active.

Default Users
Just as there is a default client, every installed R/3 System contains default users that have specific predefined authorizations
Client    User                         Default Password
000        SAP*                         06071992
000        DDIC                        19920706

066       EARLYWATCH                   SUPPORT
If You try to delete the user SAP* and DDIC, the password is reset to the password in the R/3 kernel, PASS. The users themselves are retained. This is constitutes a gap in security.
To overcome this we user to Restrict the login on USER SAP*. Through SAP Profile Management
