Clearing All Rows From All Tables

This couple of SQL statements will delete all the rows from all tables.

1. It disables referential integrity
2. DELETES or TRUNCATES each table
3. Enables referential integrity
4. Reseeds rows with identity

-- disable referential integrity
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
GO

EXEC sp_MSForEachTable '
IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id(''?''), ''TableHasForeignRef'') = 1
DELETE FROM ?
else
TRUNCATE TABLE ?
'
GO

-- enable referential integrity again
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
GO

-- This will reseed each table [don't run this exec if you don't want all your seeds to be reset]
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable '
IF OBJECTPROPERTY(object_id(''?''), ''TableHasIdentity'') = 1
DBCC CHECKIDENT (''?'', RESEED, 0)
'
GO

BPC Processor Preferences

Based on this SQL Server Central post: a processor with more cores is better for Data Warehouses / Decision Support Systems (smells like OLAP). And at this time an Intel processor is better for a transactional system (OLTP).

Changing R/3 SAP GUI Permissions

Recently I needed to apply an SAP Note to our BPC NW environment. To do this, I had to create a new 'admin' user and run the Notes Assistant under that new account. Before I could run the Notes Assistant, I need to grant access to the snote transaction in SAP GUI. This is how I did it:

1. Login with DDIC
2. Go to su01
3. Specify user ID
4. Change
5. Go to Profiles tab
6. enter SAP_ALL or whatever objects
7. Save
8. Exit
