Welcome monsoon….

Lot of good news, I finished a big chunk of jobs,  finished solution configuration for One set of my SAP landscape,  approached for the other set with a target of this week….

Ultimately, yes , Thane people saw rain, yesterday afternoon, sky remained clouded….Till now, today there is no rain…..

This help us to rely more on that the weather forcast, saying arrival of monsoon for Mumbai from Monday Jun 22, 2009 …

Stop destroying Trees and Hills, they are helping rains….Otherwise, all your properties and investment will dry……Like a desert…..You will have huge water nearby, creating views from your balcony but not satisfy your thirst….

This time already there is a warning for the days of High Tide, Excessive rains and more or less it reminds me the the year 2005….It happened same, rain came late, and Heavy rain flooded Mumbai, and yes now a days lot of more plastics…..We played Holi with colurs and plastics, hope God does not involve flood with destruction and plastics……

“Water Water Every where!
Not any drop to drink”…….. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

With hopes for rain, hopes for life and hopes for peace….

Odd note in an even music – Problem faced opening service connection for SAP.

Last two days we faced a strange situation..I need to create a service connection for SAP to debug and solve one of my ticket. We struggled whole two days but unable to make the connection.

My OSS connection available in the transaction SM59 was giving OK result both for connectivity as well as authorization test, but whenever we were trying to make the service connection we were receiving the error “T:3220 Error in program ‘SAPServiceConnector’: ======> SAP_CMINIT3 : rc=20 > Connect to SAP gateway failed”

We raised the issue with SAP as well as our VPN provider for the same, and both did a hell lot of analysis. although I should mention the entire method was chaotic at least in case of SAP person handling the call.

Ultimately we were able to fix up the scenario, by removing CISCO VPN client 5, with an earlier version…The engineer from the side of VPN provider was saying that there is a bug in this version, and as the problem is solved in this way, I need to agree on his point.

But still, I was using this version of VPN Client since last 8 months and more but we never had faced any such issue…

This is a puzzle

After a long gap and plenty of SAP experiences

Yes, since 6th April I last wrote, it is a long gap which I myself didn’t realise..

The days were passing by all hectic schedules, random bouncing between technical, techno-documenting jobs, boring reporting formats and too much boring meetings on deadly attempts on replacing human touch by processes and evidences…

Frankly speaking all these made me so busy that I nether did got time nor did I had the inspiration for writing…But believe me or not, these are the golden phase when I was given freedom to do what I like best, SAP servers Installation, configuration, interfacing, solving peculiar issues, which involves a wide variety of SAP products, including Solution Manager, BW, ECCall together…This is making me reach in experience…And Oh yes, I am introduced with 2 new beasts, Business objects and Enterprise portal…It may sound nothing to you but for me these are something new, and learning new products (which is manly a database related product) does always make me happy.

Its my journey of almost twelve years, self learnt and expertised in so many things, OS, Database, Application, programming…believe me or not, I always used to learn my own, the organisations I came across, never provide me training on things I need or work ….My managers used to say- ‘on job training’ …the most common useless phrase used by managers across the world when they don’t like to provide you training at companies expenses….Very few only 5 % of the managers does not fall into this category, I mean they are not efficient producing buzz words and bullet points to business owners for their own benefit…and goes for detail ……

Yes a lot of things to type, formatted and shared from my diary pages….I wish I would have some co-author (free service) who can help me in formatting the pages of my diary in a concise manner….Praying God to provide me energy to chalk down everything……

Summer is still continuing, although clouds started capturing the blue….Weather is hot and sultry..and above all the heat of Election in India…Nepal Issue, Pakistan Issue, Srilankan Issue….Indian subcontinent going thru lot of turbulence….

God bless all……Pray for piece…..

A very hot time ….

A week passed thru…too hot, just at the start of April….Don’t know where the temperature will go on May…

Lot of things are coming into mind, and unable to put them concisely…No cultivation of thoughts, no personal development, going thru extream down phase… Whatever I thought, about writing my experiences on BW and on SAP tuning…nothing materialized…In fact I am passing thru a boring and exhausted phase of life, main reason obviously the heat and crisis of finance and time…..

Played a little with the available themes and found  a definite chaotic something…real representation of my mind…

……

A good weekend so far….

After a long break, this is a cool weekend, I got plenty scope of farm fresh black berry, water melon….And thought a bit more about the performance parametric-s in SAP. I am also learning BI….And tried understanding the architecture of SAP more.

Preparing a no. of flow charts and slides for my notes on SAP performance tuning, as well as BI. This is a new thing to me…Interesting,,,,Let hope for the best, sharing two more pages from my notebook….Obviously that is on my understanding on tuning SAP and Oracle…..

High fliers always look the earth in bird’s eye view….and this is the only reason why they do not understand the difference between a hill and mountain, like a pedestrian does… it appears same …..
