SYSTEM COPY/ SYTEM REFRESH

Hi,
Can any one plz explain me the steps to perform System Copy/ Refresh for XI system
Thanks in advance.

Hi kobby
Client Copy:
Note that SAP delivers the software with standard clients 000 and 001. You may not work in client 000. However, SAP recommends that you begin R/3 implementation by creating a new client as a copy of client 000.
Transactions used:
SCC4--> To create a client
SCCL-->To do client copy.
Types of Client Copy:
Local client copy between clients in the same R/3 System
Remote client copy between clients in different R/3 Systems
Client transport between clients of different R/3 Systems
System Refresh:
A system refresh is in most cases rebuilding the quality assurance or acceptance system from a backup of the productive system. More accurate test data is made available in the quality assurance system for the developers and customizing consultants to test their ongoing developments and roll-outs.

Differene between system copy and system refresh

Hi all
can you please tell me the difference among SYSTEM COPY,SYSTEM REFRESH and DB REFRESH

I would consider them all the same. Maybe a "refresh" could be stated as "I restore a backup onto an already installed system" where as system copy means "I install a new system with a backup of another one" but mainly they all mean the same.

System Refresh (Copy) Implications

Hello Everyone,
I have created infocubes, plannning areas and many other stuff for our Demand Planning process in the Dev system.
Now I am planning to transport everything to our QA system in this week. However there is planned "System Refresh" of QA system from Prod system in next week.
My question is will the "system refresh" erase all the configurations I transport to QA system in this week (before refresh)?
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Sanju

I figured that out that any configuration changes made in QA system will be erased out after the Refresh from the Prod system is done.
Thanks anyways,
Sanju

Hi Abdul.
I think you have selected the Algorithm as RSA, which is the default one.<br />
Please change it to DSA and hope the issue will be solved.

How to handle the CRM Middleware after system refresh?

Guys,
We are using CRM 5.0 & R/3 4.6C. We have the middleware configured and set up. We finished all inital loads & delta loads are activated as well. The system works perfectly.
Now for some reason the client wants to refresh the R/3 system. (Basically they are copying over the R/3 Dev system to refresh the R/3 Sandbox system. Our connection is currently between the 2 sand box systems) What impact will this have on the CRM system? Will it cause mass delta downloads? I have already referred to notes 588701 & 765018. Any additional information or watch outs will be appreciated.
Secondly what's the best practice do a refresh in the future? Is there a SAP recomendation on how to go about with system refresh when CRM & R/3 are connected?
ARP

Hello ARP,
as always: It depends what to do:
a) do you have a CRM DEV System available? If possible you should get the connection working over there and then do a Landscape Copy of the R/3 DEV + CRM DEV to the Sandbox Landscape.
b) Let them copy the R/3 DEV to the R/3 Sandbox. Then use the Data Integrety Manager (Transaction SDIMA) to get the missing Customers, Transactions exchanged.
In the future they normally have to do a Landscape Copy.

Steps for System Refresh for ABAP + JAVA stack

Hi friends,
I am newbie to SAP BASIS adminstration. There is a system refresh activity planned shortly.
Can someome pls let me know the steps for system refresh of ABAP + JAVA stack??
regards,
Ambarish.

Please check [systemcopy@SDN|System Copy and Migration] and [guides|http://service.sap.com/instguidesnw] according to your release.

System Refresh: Abap+Java stack

Have a few questions about CRM refresh I'm working on. Done many refreshes over the years and the new process has me shaking my head in disbelief.
Performed a normal system refresh, by restoring online backup of production system onto mirror system. The mirror system exactly matches my production sytem (Oracle 10g, SuSE Linux 64 bit, UNICODE).
Now my system is running from Abap stack perspective, however Java components fail to load.
Now from reading the documentation (System Copy for SAP, Based on SAP Netweaver 2004s Abap+Java) it appears that I have to use sapinst and no longer use online database backups for system refreshes.
Is this the case? Has the investment my organization made into online backups now worthless?
Is there a way to take the java schema in this online copied database and bring it online after converting it to work on the mirror landscape?
Or should I throw out our system methodology and start new

Thank you for the reply.
Reading SAP's documentation seems to imply that I need to extract out the java schema from my production source and then re-install on my QA target to make a refresh of the java stack possible.
However, if I have a complete copy of my source system database working on the target, why is the extract necessary?
At least, I should be able to extract out the contents from the source as if it was the target, thereby eliminating any sort of production outages (we have many constraints about shutting down production from fuctional perspective).
I'll do some research around the other tools mentioned to see if they can lend a hand fixing the issue,

Post System Refresh Activity - BDLS run

Hi,
We have finished system refresh of a QA system from Production. We need to run BDLS now to convert the original Production logical systems to QA relevant logical systems.
I am short of understanding of this process. Can anyone please help me with the concept and process?
Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Hi Abdul Rahim Shaik,
BDLS will convert the logical system name for your PROD to QAS.
For eg:
Your source - PRDCLNT100
Your target - QASCLNT100
If you go to SCC4 in your QAS, u will see Prod logical system name for the client.
Once you run BDLS after system copy, logical system name exist in every table for PRDCLNT 100 will change to QASCLNT100.
Refer to below link for more info:

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.

Ruchit.

SAP APO SYSTEM REFRESH

Hi All,
We are going for a system refresh from PRD to DEV in our SAP SCM-APO 7.0 , Live Cache 7.7,The SCM system runs on a DB6 platform with Windows OS, and the DEV is similar to PRD in terms of OS n DB, but am i a little bit confused because it looks like in PRD both SCM & Live Cache are in the same server but in DEV its on different server.How do it go about it,please give ur valuable suggestion from scratch
Thanks,
Vivek

Alex,
Those books that you 'found' are classroom textbooks; and they are generally only made available to students who are taking the underlying class.
For these classes, SAP loads data into their training systems that support the classroom curricula, prior to the start of each class.
So, the easy answer is "take the SAP class". If you take the class, SAP will provide you with a new copy of the course material, and once you are in the classroom, you are generally provided with access to their training system, which is consistent with the course material.

System Refresh On Windows Server 2003 ( Oracle )

Hello Gurus,
We are having ecc5.0 production server on windows 2003 server ( oracle as an database ).
We want to perform system copy.
can somebody guide me the procedure on windows server.
Server Information
ECC - 5.0
Window Server - 2003
Oracle ( 9.2.0.8.0)
I have one doubt should we use SAPinst for export/import procedure or backup restore from our production server to dev server
regards
Shishir

Hi Shishir,
I have one doubt should we use SAPinst for export/import procedure or backup restore from our production server to dev server
DEV System is your original System never refresh DEV System with Production. It is recommended to do System refresh on QA system or any other stand alone system (Test System).
Also see the below points.
1. If you have large database then use the backup restore process. this will help you to reduce your downtime.
2. You can go for the export/import process i.e R3load using SAPinst.
For more information see the system copy guide as suggested earlier.
Thanks,

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.

System Refresh Precautions?

Hi,
During system refresh, are all types of data - master data, transaction data as well as <b>customising data</b> get refreshed from prouduction environment?
Could you please suggest what is best way to get back project specific new customising data on a refreshed environment? Is there some sap recommended best practice on this.

System Refresh of GRC 5.3 system

Hi Gurus,
Our client has putforth a requirement of refreshing the GRC 5.3 development system in our landscape with the data of GRC 5.3 production system. I could find document for Homogeneous System Copy for standalone Java engines in Service Marketplace. But, i was not able to find any document specific to GRC 5.3 system refresh.
Please guide me in providing help in the system copy procedure so that i can take the necessary precautions in doing the system refresh.
Regards,
Ragav

Hi,
I am not sure on the reasons for system refresh. Look at the below points:
1. The RAR data c(Rules, Functions, Risks etc) an be downloaded and uploaded in the Development environment. Why you need the production user data in Development?
2. The SPM users are intended for production. Why you are planning to copy/simulate them in development?
3. The ERM and CUPs are workflows, where the systems and other settings have to be created manually. What is your intention in getting them to development?
As per my knowledge, no system refresh is performed for GRC systems? May be you need to educate the client on these things. Please look for the ideas from the other experts too before you go back to your client.
Hope this helps!!
Warm Regards,
Raghu
