SAP BI System Copy with only Config changes, Not Data

Hi BASIS,
I have a requirement from a client to build a system landscape stratagy for their SAP BI system.
We have DEV - QA - PRD systems for SAP BI (7.0 SP 16)
Both DEV and QA are completely out of sync with PRD. We are doing development tasks directly on PRD. Now we have decided to re-sync the DEV & QA systems with PRD.
'System copy with Data' will be easier to implement. But our PRD DB size is nearly 3TB. The client is not ready to pay for the extra/temp. disk space for DEV and QA sync. ( We are on DB2).
Now, we have only one option left. Capture all Config changes from PRD and transport them back to DEV & QA. This is a tedious task and cause many inconsistencies.
Would anyone have any other ideas to bring the systems in sync with less time involved and less resources.
I am a SAP BI person. So dont know much about BASIS tasks. Please help me with any links of best practises or SAP notes.
Cheers

HI Reddy,
We came to know from our basis team that we do not have the Java Stack installed in our BI 7.x system yet.
As it is integrated with EP which has Java, our web reports are working.
1) But my question is still do we ned to install the Java Stack in our BI system as i do not find any Export to PDF option in EP for the reports (eventhough AS Java supports this).
2) Or can we use the existing configuration without Java STack integrated to EP for the new tools like Report Designer and Integrated Planning?
Regards
Kumar

The system copy with Sapinst has changed the schema in oracle

Hi;
have done a copy Homogeneous of a system and after having all correct I have seen that has changed the name of the Schemas and the name of the tablespace.
the system is a PI NW2004S.
When the oraginal schema is SAPSR3DB, in the target system is SAPSR4DB, and all tables are here.
The tablespace SAPSR3DB in the target system is empty and the copy has created one tablespace SAPSR4DB
They are normal these changes?
thanks a lot

SAP SQL System Copy backup restore method with ADS(Adobe document services)

Hello all,
i´m preparing a system copy with ERP 6.0 in windows and SQL server with ADS.
I have a doubt, can i do the System Copy backup/restore method with ADS??
or the only method that works is with system export/import in all instances??
Thank you

Hi Oscar,
Is your ADS system separate from your ERP system, or are they on the same server?
In any case, you can use backup/restore to copy a Java system, but you must also make a system export/import for the Java server components. The two work in conjunction, so that the export tool doesn't export your whole database, only the components maintained in the filesystem. If you select the database detach/attach or backup/restore method in the tool when going against the Java system, it will prompt you at the right point in the process to make your Java export as well.
The caveat is that the Java export requires downtime, so it isn't possible to copy a Java system without impacting system availability, as it is with a pure ABAP system.
Best regards,
Matt

Homgeneous System Copy with Java and DB2 with database tools.

Hello,
we have an single java stack (netweaver 2004s) and tried a system copy with database tools.
Source System: DP2, dp2adm, db2dp2, sapdp2db
Target System: SP2, sp2adm, db2sp2, ???
We followed the documentation "System copy for SAP systems based on sap netweaver 2004s SR1 JAVA. We exported the SDM on the source system made a redirected restore with db tools and tried to install a new target system.
During the import in the target system using sapinst we get in the
phase run java migration tool kit the following error message.
Caused by:
com.sap.engine.frame.core.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error
while connecting to DB.
at
com.sap.engine.core.configuration.bootstrap.ConfigurationManagerBootstrapImpl.(ConfigurationManagerBootstrapImpl.java:49)
... 14 more
Caused by: com.ibm.db2.jcc.a.SqlException: Connection authorization
failure occurred. Reason: userid revoked.
What I didn't understand is, that in the documenation it is mentioned, that you have to use the same java database connect user. But during the installation of the target system (SP2) I cannot change the java database connect user to sapdp2db. I'm only allow to enter sapsp2db. That might then cause the connection problem.

System copy with NW 7.01 Ehp1 MaxDB hang

I'm performing a system copy with a NW 7.01 Ehp1 MaxDB from a Dev to QA.
The source system copy was run successfully but in the target system copy, the sapinst keep running and running for days at IMPORT ABAP step (Phase 18 of 27).
I don't know what is going on behind it, no error is reported. In the import_monitor.java.log, I see this:

System copy with Export/Import Distribyted system UNIX database, Windows CI

HI
we have a distributed system witch I want to make a copy of
Oracle Database on HP-UX
CI + SCS on Windows
Dual stack system ABAP/Java
1) I have made an system copy with data base copy tools, and that works fine.
2) I have made a system copy export/import of a "central system"
If I try to make an export/import system copy on a distributed system it wont work.
( this work fine in a central system) I dont get anny error messages all gren checks marks !
It seems like the problem are in not finding the profiles from CI ?
It find the profiles for the sapgateway.
I someone are more interested I have more documentation with screen shots in a word document.
I Have used Installation Master SR3 and tryed with some older versions as well.
I have read SAP Note 970518 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2
SAPINST
Using virtual hosts for central and/or DB instances
SYMPTOM:
You are using virtual host names for your central instance and/or the database instance (e.g. in a HA environment). Although SAPinst finishes successfully, some export steps are not being performed.
SOLUTION:
Start the export with the property SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.
If the central instance and the database instance run on different hosts, run the database export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host name of the DB server> and - if you run a Java or ABAP+Java system - run the central instance export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host nameof the central instance host>.
If you run a central system with different host names in the profiles, handle the export as a distributed export, calling SAPinst with parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME. Perform the export of the database instance on the DB server, calling SAPinst with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host of the DB server>.

Hi I have received folloving answer from SAP:
You're doing everything correct - besides one thing.
When you specify the profiles during the database export it cannot be
correct to specify the profiles of the gateway instance located on
the same host.
As a consequence - it picks up the wrong instance G01 and sets the
property 'hasABAP' and 'hasJava' to 'false'... - thus the export
is empty. You can see this within the corresponding 'sapinst.log' file.
The correct procedure would be to specify the profiles of the central
instance on the Windows Machine. If you cannot access them, you should
make them available by Samba or by any type of software which makes
it's possible to export filesystems or directories from windows to
unix.

Do we have option not to refresh the data in AP invoice while copying from GRN and change the date of the invoice in SAP 9 PL 0

Hi
I have update tax details in GRPO but while copy to AP invoice system pick posting date/ document date as system date and if i change the date the screen refresh and the tax details i have updated it change. that i do not want.
Is there any option so that GRPO date will copy in ap invoice so that i need not to refresh the screen
regards
Ashish Garg

Hi,
Please provide an example for tax details. Make note on these,
1. Whenever copy GRPO to AP invoice, posting and document date is system date. This is default design system
2. If you change these dates in AP invoice, your payment to vendor leads to confusion.
For example:
You have received items on 25-03-2014. But vendor raised invoice on 03/04/2014.

Different Effective Date in One BOM with only ONE Change Number

Hi gurus
here is my complete question?
Is it possible to realize this function that Different Effective Date in One BOM for different BOM items with only ONE Change Number?
Thanks for your information/help in advance.

Dear Zhao,
Using One change number it's not possible to define a different valid from date for the BOM changes of a single material BOM.
In case if the same change number is used for making different material's BOM component,then a different valid from date for
each BOM can be defined,but at any given point not for each component/item level of the same BOM.
Check and revert back.

SYSTEM Copy with Data ( SAP Export/Import way)

Hello ,
There is requirement at my client site to build SAP system copy from Production System without copying Data but
should have Programs/ Structures / Repository/ Tables & views etc.
Though We have thought of building SAP system with Export/ Import way and then deleting the Client from copied system
after that running Remote client copy from Source to Target system with SAP_CUST profile
But I have heard with SAP Export/Import way , We can have SAP data copy skipped and only structure to copy. If there is any way
of such kind then Please help me in letting know the same
Thanks

2 Different SAP systems one with only WM and other no WM system

Hi All,
We are having trouble to implement 2 different SAP systems. In one SAP system only MM & IM will be there. The other SAP system only WM system will be there.
In the SAP system with only MM / IM system all the materials will be valuated where as the SAP system with only WM system, there won't be any valuations. It just serves as a 3PL warehouse for the first SAP system which has only IM environment. Both are acting as a different companies.
We planned to interface all the PO, Inbound Deliveries and also the Sales order and deliveries to WM SAP system and develop a custom program to do PGR / PGI in WM system and then transmit the PGR / PGI details to the SAP system (which has only MM / IM environment). The WM system also uses the RF guns. But not so sure whether this can help.
Can you please help me how to configure the WM system. I will be very grateful for your help.

Post installation steps after SAP BW system copy

Hi!
I am about to do post processsing steps after system copy of SAP BW system.
1) One of the steps is to delete all entries from tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA, DBSTATIORA,
DBSTATTORA.
Question: what is the way to do this?
2) During the installation I received the error within import ABAP step.

from D010TAB~ 0 C err to D010TAB~0 C ign and
from D010TAB1 C err to D010TAB1 C ign
Question:
how to create index manually after system copy?

Simply run
TRUNCATE TABLE <table_name>;
for each of those tables.
Make sure to either logon as SAP<SID> or provide the owner of the tables with the statement.

The problem here was the large INITIAL size clause.
If there is enough freespace at all in the tablespace this should work:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "D010TAB~0" ON "D010TAB" ( "MASTER", "TABNAME" ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3700 NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS PARALLEL;
If I'm not wrong, the second index is just vice versa:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "D010TAB~1" ON "D010TAB" ( "TABNAME", "MASTER" ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3700 NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS PARALLEL;
In general it is really not a good idea to skip the creation of unique indexes...

Lars

About sap bw system Copy or backup ?(URGENT)

Hi gurus:
     Hi friends,I saw many theads about this subject,and I found many documents,But STILL I can't find the way to solve my problem.

     And can I backup the whole bw system in the harddisk,and restore the bw system in the qa system istead ? how to backup the bw system ?
All useful reply will assign points

Hi Zegion,
I think the following may help you:
Purpose: Preserves logical system dependent objects for restoration in case of a system copy issue when a logical source system is deleted or deactivated. BW will auto re-generate a lot, but not these objects.
1.     Create on a development system like BWD, because the system is set as a development system in SCC4 and can create and export transports, and will include all objects. A dummy can be used for comparison if the system to be copied is production or test.
a.     If creating on another system, like BW test (BWT) or production, you must first open the system in
   i.     SE06 System Change option modifiable /BIC and /BI0
   ii.     SCC4 client settings set like in BW Development system (BWD)
   iii.     STMS in client 000 from BWD (domain controller)
            1.     Remove BWT from transport path
            2.     Setup new 2-system path BWT-BW? (BWS or virtual system). This creates a ZOUO transport layer, allowing creation of non-local/not $TMP package transports (see complex sample below)
2.     Go to RSA1-Admin workbench, Transport Connection
    a.     Select Object Types
    b.     Set for Grouping-Save for system copy
    c.     Set for Start manual collection
    d.     Set for Display List
3.     Drag and drop source system (select from select objects list and transfer selection) to collection window, example SCEM, SC0CLNT575, DEVCLNT100, SAP_DEMO. I recommend only doing one source system at a time for maximum flexibilityand because the R3 sources are very large.
    a.     Then execute collection Gather dependent objects
    b.     Select each category (mainly Transfer Rules, Transfer structure and InfoPackageswhatever is selected. On each header, right click and select transfer all below
    c.     Validate that there are no objects in the $TMP development package (DevClass). If it is, select the object and change package button to set to ZAWB. (Anything but $TMP (local))
    d.     NOTE- To reset transport connection, select anything on the left frame of the screen to refresh
4.     You are now ready to transportselect the truck icon to create
    a.     Call it Save for System Copy and the source system name
    b.     Go to SE09/SE10 and release it and tasks to the OS level
5.     Cleanup reset STMS and distribute, reset SCC4 and SE06 on BW0/Source BW system
6.     Verify RSA1- Tools mapping of source system names on target BW system (i.e. BWU) for source system of transport (i.e. SC0CLNT575).
7.     Verify RSA1- Modeling-Source system connection checks OK on target system
8.     Manually import transport in STMS Import Queue, extras, other requests, Add (to buffer). Import single with right click or partially loaded truck icon, select options as below:
9.     LAST STEP Validate import logs and activated objects. If there is an error, ensure the link to the new system is active, the RSA1-Tools-Mapping of source system names converts properly from say DEVCLNT100 to TSTCLNT200 (correct frame of reference) and reimport.

Problems after system copy with license

Hi all,
I made a system copy from SA1 to SA2. I ran the SAP Tools after the attach of the db and it ran the post processing OK. (At least, no errors.)
However, I cannot logon to this copy of ECC 5. When I try to log on I get an license error. ("error in license check")
When I run saplicense -show NAME=SA2 it returns with an expired license and it also refers to SA1. I requested a new license for SA2, but I cannot install this file. (Error reading license data file.)
So, this SA2 is running now with the old SA1 db. Do I need to request a license for SA1 instead of SA2? The login screen does show SA2 as SID.

Hello ,
Do I need to request a license for SA1 instead of SA2? -No , You have to install valid license for SA2 only .
Try to delete old license from SA2 system which shows existence of SA1 ( Which is not valid or not required also ) .
Please get back to us if you require further details .

Santosh Karadkar

System Copy with EP 6.0 SP9 (URGENT)

Hi Everybody
did ever somebody made a system Copy based on EP 6.0 SP3 and higher? (in my case SP9)
There is a tool called cppo, but, this is only for EP6.0 SP2 patch4
Thanks for your help
Murat

Hello All
To start with I would like qualify that when we use the term "System Copy" in our shop we are referring to the "backup/restore" system copy functionality that has been available in previous releases of SAP products. We've sunk untold dollars and uncountable hours developing an infrastructure and methodology that allows us to currently take a copy of our production R/3 system (1.4Tb/Solaris/Oracle) each and every workday in a fully automated mode, and have it up and fuctional by 8:00 am. with a new personality, cut off from all production systems, and ready for testing...
Before you all shout at once!
I know: We're not talking about R/3 here, and yes, I know J2EE presents it's own "opportunities"...
But stay with me here for a moment!
In NetWeaver '04 SR1 (SP9) you may (may NOT!) notice that the "System Copy for WEBAS 6.40 SR1" documentation does not include anything at all concerning "backup/restore" as an option.
In fact it does not work... We've proven it every way we can think of...
We've also spent the last week or so escalating this issue until we finally spoke with SAP development in Germany on Friday. A very pleasant rep by the name of Jennifer confirmed that at least for now, you must use the procedure oulined in that doc to copy any SR1 system. Period.
She also indicated that development is aware of the need for the "backup/restore" function of System Copy for NW04 SR1 systems, and that they are working on it.
Unfortunately the resolution is a ways off yet. So in the mean-while we'll be trying to figure this out on our own. If anyone has any insight or breakthoughs, we'd love to hear it and we'll share too.
Regards
Jim Stachowiak
