Security steps in system refresh

Hi all,
    what are the pre steps and post steps from security point of view that needs to be performed on the target system when we do a system refresh .
Thanks.

Hi,
There some additional things to consider....
If the source system for the copy is a child system of another CUA model, then after the copy you have to delete the CUA model from the client that has been refreshed - this includes deleting the CUA model from BD64.
Once the copy is complete you have to double check the logical system of the refreshed client - very often this step is overlooked and it means that your RFC destination for this child system is no longer valid.
I agree with the previous post of exporting the SAP_USER profile from the target client, before the refresh takes place.

  • Restore SECSTORE security store after system refresh?

    When we refresh a QA system from PRD, we first export the RFCDES table from QA, then perform the homogeneous system copy from PRD -> QA, and then import the RFCDES table we saved prior to the copy.  This restores the various RFC destinations in the QA environment.
    In recent releases, the password information has been moved out of the RFCDES table into the Secure Store; it looks like this is based on tables RSECTAB and RSECACTB.  However, when we transport the contents of these tables and then bring them in again after the refresh, the RFC destination passwords are still marked invalid.
    Has anyone refreshed a QA system while saving the RFC destinations, using the secure store?  If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Rich

  • System refresh -- Export content of secure store ?

    Hello,
    We often perform system refreshes. To run this process smoothly we use database copy (copy over the datafiles files then recover the db).
    We export several tables from the refreshed system before the DB copy.  After the refresh we reimport them, this makes the sap level post processing lighter.
    I would like to export the content of the secure store (tx secstore) then re impot it also. Has anyone already performed this ?
    Thanks & krs,
    aidan

    Hi,
    The data stored in the secure storage are encrypted with a key that includes the installation number and the system ID. If any of these changes, for example due to a system copy or a new license key, the data in the secure storage must be migrated. For information on migrating the secure storage data,  see SAP Note 816861.
    Please refer specified notes:
    If you get a short dump CREATE_OBJECT_CLASS_NOT_FOUND then see SAP note 1053954.
    If any "System dependant data for entryu2026" errors are reported then see note 816861
    I hope it will help you.If not please let me know.

  • System refresh from Production to Quality

    Hi,
    We are going for system refresh from Production to Quality. We are at SAP NetWeaver 2004s with 700 release and at 0021 level. Our data base system is DB6 with the release 09.07.0000
    I understand that there is a note 886102 available for the system copy. But I would like to know how that had been practically implemented from your ready documents like
    1. What would be the BI consultant role during the refresh (I mean where do we involve at). I have seen many links related to this but nothing answer my question, so please don't give me links available.
    2. How to identify tables that need to be copied and restored to retain the correct source systems for data/info sources.
    3. What should be the BI consultant task before refresh?
    4. What should be the BI consultant task post refresh?
    5. What are issues faced post refresh in quality system.
    I request, the consultant who had worked on these refresh can provide me correct solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    Raj

    Our prerefresh activities included
    Inform security team to do no user or authorisation changes for quality during the refresh.
    Set message in development to not release any transports anymore and set message in quality to inform users in quality not to manually import transports into quality and also not approve transports for production. This ensures no transports get moved to quality and production.
    Switch off cyclic import all job (like TMS_0000000038TMS_TP_IMPORT) and the cyclic  RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS job 
    Prepare list of transports for re-import to quality after refresh and give this to BASIS.
    Post refresh activities included
    Tcodes SM37, SM35 and SP01. Check that BASIS had set all released jobs to status "Susp/Released"
    "All jobs are in 'Susp/Released' state. Set them all to 'Scheduled ' as follows:
    -  Run report BTCTRNS2 to change all to 'Released'.
    - Immediately use SM37 to change all to 'Scheduled' "
    IF ANY ARE NEEDED. Remember to change Exec Target in any job you need to release.
    "Schedule  RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS to run at x:29 and x:59 - so every 30 minutes.
    Please schedule with DDIC as step user (and not your own user-id)."
    Check the STMS_QA and import queues to be sure that the tranports are correct- no extra ones during refresh???
    Once happy with the above request that Basis schedule the auto import to run every 30 minutes
    First ensure that BDLS has finished and system is ready for use.
    Post refresh issues faced in production
    Many reinit issues
    ACR issues.
    Master data issues.

  • Logical System Conversion after system refresh failed

    Hello,
    Logical System Conversion after system refresh couldn't complete as the printer was locked. This job was run in the background. In SM37, the  job log of RBDLSMAP shows as job finished, but it took only 40 seconds. Now I see that the logical system got changed(Converted) in the client settings scc4 but I know that this client being a production client and would run for couple of hours. Here is the job log information.

    When try to rerun bdls again, it shows that it is already available and it says "The new logical system name is already assigned to the current client".
    Any suggestions on this?
    Thanks,
    Mahesh

    Hi ,
    Rerun the BDLS again as this took very little time.
    When you try to run again it popsup message saying it already exists just delete that and again put the Logical system name and run it will run that time.
    May be while scheduling the job you gave for spool I am not sure why is it looking for Printer which is locked.
    Thanks.

  • Windows 8.1 will not activate on HP19-2113w after system refresh.

    Everything was working fine on my PC.  Then the other day it crashed and said there was a disk error and that it had to scan the whole drive to find the error. It finished scanning, but windows 8.1 would not load sucessfully.  Therefore I did a system refresh thru HP recovery.  After doing that windows would start up normally, but I lost my activation.  When I tried to activate the response was "Key doesn't work try again later" or something like that.  Kept trying, no luck.  I thought it may have been an error with the system refresh, so I did the total system reset (after saving personal data).  Now I am having the same problem with activation, and If I try to navigate the normal way to the activation screen, the screen disapears.  I can get to activation using command prompt.   but key still does not work.  The key I am using I retrived from my BIOS data.  Also, I ran the refresh and reset from the origional hard drive partition.  I hope someone has a solution to this.  Thanks is advance Bill

  • CUA - System Refresh

    Hello,
    I am new to CUA and need help in determining the pre and Post steps for CUA during the System Refresh. The System Refresh is performed on the Child System and after the Refresh my original users and Role assignments have to overwrite the users and Role Assignments of the Copying System.How do I retain my original User data ?
    Are their any guidelines to this process ?
    I am researching oss and forums,and so far I don't have any clear procedure.
    thanks,
    Farah

    Hello Farah,
    I think by system refresh you mean system copy.
    From system copy perspective follwing steps need to be taken:
    pre copy steps:
    1. Disconnect CUA. Please go to the child system. Go to TRANSACTION BD64 and delete the ALE model view for CUA.
    Subsequently go to parent system. Then to transaction SCUA. In menu bar go to Distribution model and then to Delete. Choose the radiobutton Child System and then give the logical name of the child system.
    Post system copy activties:
    1. in case the system copy has been performed from parent system of CUA to child system then go to child system and then goto BD64. Delete the exisitng ALE model for CUA. If parent system is not the source system of CUA you can ignore this step. Next Login to parent system. Go to SCUA then change mode and then add the logical system name of child system to it.Next go to SCUG and do user master reconcilliation.for this double click on child system and then under do transfer users wherver it is available.
    Frankly these are ideal steps after system copy ahich I follow since there is not much disparity in user master data across systems in my CUA. So even if system copy happens the user master data in child system remains more or less the same.
    If at all there is a minor difference I adjust it through SU01 or SU10. However in case there is a major difference then you it becomes a bit complicated. reasons being system copy wil overwrite entire stuff. Whether it is CUA or any other data. Say for example a child role exisits in child system but is not in the source system of system copy then it wont be present after system copy. if there are such issues then let us know. May be we can think
    something. otherwise this approach should do the job for you.
    Please award points if you found the anwers useful.
    regards.
    Ruchit.

  • ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied quality system refresh from production

    Dear All;
    I am in the post activities of SAP system refresh.
    I restored the system using brtools successfully as you can see below:
    then I went with the rest of the steps based on sap recomendations, and reached to SAP sql queries:
    CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
    CREATE USER "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>" DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, SAPDBA TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
    CREATE TABLE "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER (USERID VARCHAR2(256), PASSWD VARCHAR2(256));
    INSERT INTO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('SAPSR3', '<Password>');
    CREATE SYNONYM "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>".SAPUSER FOR "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER;
    CONNECT /
    GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM".SAPUSER TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
    CONNECT /as sysdba
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\SAPSERVICE<SID>";
    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<DOMAIN>\<SID>ADM";
    I checked if all users are on opened state using select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users;
    The database is running file, and it is opened, but when I run R3trans -d it gives me RC 12 and i get this error:
    *** ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
    set_ocica() -> SQL error code 1017
    -->oci_get_errmsg (con=0, rc=1017)
    OCIErrorGet -> SQL error code: 1017
    ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

    ***LOG BY2=>sql error 1017   performing CON
    ***LOG BY0=>ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    I used brconnect -u / -f chpass -o PSAPSR3 -p sap so i can reset the password, but still I am getting the same invalid username or password error.
    I checked the listener status, and it is running.
    Kindly let me know how I can fix my error

    Hi Satya,
                 Thank you for the reply. QA in our landsacpe was in use since 2008. Serveral times system refresh is carried out on our QA with production data but never came accross this issue.
                 Usually if the SAPINST.exe run is successfull, temperory licence will be installed and we will be allowed to login into the sytem with our user names normally and carry out post installation steps.
                 As the SAPISNT.exe is being terminated, temperory license is not being installed and we got to work around by including parameter to allow default sap* userid and password to login and install license and carry on with the post installation steps. To be frank this issue is not really a show stopper, but there seems to be an issue that is to be resolved.
    Thank you,
    Kind Regards,
    Bharani.
