Using classical text editor for Smart Forms instead of MS Word

Written by

In updated system MS Word used as default Smart Forms and SAP Script text editor. In cloud system it is mandatory.

You can configure text editor with two ways. You can run ABAP report RSCPSETEDITOR in t-code SE38 for changing it. Other option using t-code I18N. In this t-code you need to open I18N Menu -> I18N Customizing -> I18N System Parameter. Select smartforms_editor as Parameter and emtpy as Value.

If you haven’t got enough privileges to change configuration, you can manipulate it in debug mode. These configuration saved DB table TCP0I as smartforms_editor and sapscript_editor. You can add break point in NLS_WORD_ENABLE function in t-code SE37. This function called by Smart Forms in first use of editor.

In S/4HANA system you need to add additional break point for running old editor. Add break point to CL_GUI_RTF_EDITOR and CL_GUI_SAPSCRIPT_EDITOR classes constructor below line and bypass the raise exception line.

===============================

Hostname of local computer: myserver                         (NiMyHostName)
FQHN of local computer: myserver.mkysoft.com                 (NiGetOwnFQDN)

Lookup of hostname: myserver                                 (NiHostToAddr)
    --> IP-Addr.: 10.10.1.5
Lookup of IP-Addr.: 10.10.1.5                                (NiAddrToHost)
    --> Hostname: myserver.mkysoft.com

Linux check list

Written by

Install tools for operation.

yum install nano wget epel-release

Update

If you update some packages, your config files override with new ones. You can find old files with rpm extension in same directory.

Latest Packages

Some linux distributions update their package with delay. IUS is good option for using latest package. You can get IUS package list here and install them with below command.

Install ius rpm package first:

yum install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm

Use u suffix for Installing package from ius repo. For example use below for installing git 2.x:

yum install git2u

Postgres

Download rpm package, check this list for other versions.
wget https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm
Install package.
rpm -i pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm
yum install postgresql96-server postgresql96-contrib
/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/postgresql96-setup initdb

Create db and user.

su postgres
createuser --interactive
createdb -O myuser mydb

Run psql for setting password to new user.

psql
ALTER USER mydbuser WITH PASSWORD 'mynewpass';
\q

Proxy

If you need proxy you can use nginx. You need give permission to nginx for accessing http resources.

setsebool httpd_can_network_connect true -P

Check nginx.log with

tail -10f /var/log/nginx/error.log

php & php-fpm

Use IUS for latest release, php72u.

Permissions overwritten after update, check /var/lib/php/fpm permissions.
