After a database copy or only a client copy, RFC connection don’t work anymore.

If you do some tests in SM59, you’ll get the following message : RFC error when sending data.

So, using SE38 transaction, please try to run : RS_TT_CLEANUP_SECSTORE

Once logged using SSH :

To stop Apache : /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

To start Apache : /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

To restart Apache :  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Because your application on a remote server had to connect to the server that host your MySQL database, or you want to administrate remotely your MySQL DB you had to know for security purposes, remote access is not allowed by default.

So, first you have to change the settings in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file :

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

You had to look for bind-address setting. By default bind-address = 127.0.0.1. So you have to remplace the address which will be authorized to connect from. Only one address can be set. If you want to connect from every ip address, you had to set 0.0.0.0

Save the new file.

Run PhpmyAdmin. Click on Privileges Tab and edit your database user.

In the Login Information frame, in host, instead of localhost set % then save by pressing Execute.

Back to SSH run :

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
/etc/init.d/mysql start

Creating a Apache Virtualhost allow you to manage several web site or subdomains.

Pre requisite : Apache is already installed and your domain name is already resolved by your DNS (check your DNS using ping command).

We will create a file to maintain the virtual hosts settings, ie :

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/berthier.net

Copy/paste the following block in your file, replacing the domain name by your :

<VirtualHost www.berthier.net:80>
ServerAdmin postmaster@berthier.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/berthier.net/
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/berthier.net.log
LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>

 VirtualHost : The address you want to process. IP or star (*) are also allowed.

ServerAdmin : The website admin email

DocumentRoot : Where your files can be found (html, php… website root)

CustomLog : Optionnaly, where the system will write the log file

Loglevel : Verbose level of logs (debug | info | notice | warn | error | crit | alert | emerg)

You can copy/past the block as many as needed, in the same or different files. Save your file.

Create a symbolic link from site-enabled directory to site-available directory

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

ln -s ../sites-available/berthier.net

Restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Sometimes, when creating your Microsoft Excel table, you suddenly realize that the row you created should have been a column instead!

Easy steps:
Select the data of the row which you want to convert into a column
Copy the data by using Ctrl ‘C’
Put the cursor on the cell where the data is to be copied
Right click the mouse and select the ‘Paste Special’ option
Select the ‘Transpose’ check box
Click ‘Ok’
The data that was in the rows (horizontally) will be copied into the columns (vertically)
Follow the steps in reverse order to move the data from columns to rows

To run from SE38 transaction :

- RSPARAM : get instance parameters

- RSORAREL  : To get Oracle Database realease

- SHOWCOLO : Display all available colors

- SHOWICON : Display all available icons

- RSBDCOS0 : Execute OS command

- RSBDCSUB : Process batch input session automatically

- RSBTCDEL : Delete batch jobs

- RSCONN01 : Start SAPCONNECT job send process

- RSPO0041 : Delete old spool requests

- RSTRANSP : Transport variants

- RSTXPDFT4 : Convert spool request to pdf

- RSUSR003 : check login/password parameters

- RSUSR006 : List users with incorrect logons

Just use the fllowing commands :

net use * \\ip_address\ipc$ « admin_password » /user: »Administrator »

Then you can use the SC command :

sc \\ip_address query service_name
sc \\ip_address start service_name
sc \\ip_address stop service_name

From root account :

echo « user:mdp » | /usr/bin/chpasswd
pwdadm -f NOCHECK user_to change
