5 system landscape for MDM?

We are in the process to layout infrastructure for release 2 of our transformation project for ECC, MDM, PI, BODS. We are debating on possible solutions
1) typical 5 system landscape like below.
DEV->QA->PRD
DEV2->QA2
DEV2, QA2 are project landscape and others are maintenance landscape. After project testing, changes from QA2 will be moved to DEV, QA, PRD
2) dual landscape
Here, layout is same as option 1 but for go live changes will be moved directly from QA2 to PRD.
I like to know what are the pros/cons of each approach.

Hi Subin,
The first approach is a lot easier to manage and involves lesser risks.
Also as Vag rightly points that in case of different Vendors co-ordination is also an important point to consider before designing such a landscape.
We too used the first approach and once our major change was done,we merged the systems which in your case are DEV2 and QA2.This was a much cleaner approach.
Thanks,
Ravi

  • Information on 3-System Landscape for XI

    Hi All,
    Currently we have DEV/QA XI as one system and Prod as another. We plan to seperate QA and have a 3 system landscape for XI... ie, DEV, TEST, PROD.
    My Question is
    > Any documents on what are the system requirements in doing so?
    > Is there any advantage/disadvantage in doing this?
    Pavan.

    The sysetm configuration might be 2Gb+ Ram with good storage of Harddrive....there can be problem when you have both the dev and QA system on the same server or same instance with dfiferent client......
    It;s better to have the Different system for DEV,QA and Production but as far as SLD is concerened standard says to maintain the single SLD but for production it will be good if kept seperate SLD.

  • System Landscape for ESS/MSS in EP60 SP2

    I have installed EP60 SP2 on J2EE 6.20 and MSSQL. I have imported business packages ESS 50-4 and MSS 60-1-5. I have created the folder Systems in Portal Content and created a system SAP_R3 with aliases SAP_R3_HumanResources, SAP_R3_Cross, SAP_R3_Travel, and SAP_R3_Financials.
    My 4.7 R/3 system is app server R3DEV02.domain.com, system id DEV, sysno 01, client 100.  My ITS server is http://itsdev01.domain.com:71/scripts/wgate/webgui/! using client 100.  My EP path is http://sapport01.domain.com:50000/irj/.
    Given this information, can anyone tell me exactly what parameters I must set in the system landscape for system SAP_R3 and what the values should be for ESS and MSS to work properly?  If I go to the System Landscape Cockpit, system SAP_R3 fails all tests.
    Any and all help is certainly appreciated.

    Hello Gary,
    WRT SAP_R3 system landscape test failure, I ran into the same issue earlier, for a SAP_R3_Dedicated system. Keep the same setting values, but leave the system id (DEV) Blank, then test.
    Your definition of (Application Server Host Address + System Number) should be sufficient for a SAP_R3_Dedicated connection.
    I hope this will resolve your system TEST problem.

    Single Sign On set up and every application is working on portal.
    But the ping always fails.
    I do not understand one more thing from help.sap.com on System Landscape for ESS.
    Documentation says:
    Set up your system landscape. To do this, set up the following systems:
    what kind of system this is: SAP_R3 or SAP_BW/SAP_CRM. In standard portal system template, there is no system like "J2EE engine".

  • 3 System Landscape for NW2004s BI?

    Hi All,
    Given the scope of BI systems in NW2004s BI, what is the recommendation regarding 2 vs. 3 system landscape for BI?
    With BW, it was (relatively) easy to maintain a Dev, QA and Production system. Now with Portal and Java components of BI, the hardware requirements for a third (QA) instance would make it harder to justify?
    What experience have people had with 2 vs 3 system landscapes for BI in NW2004s?   Has anyone come across an SAP recommendation or best practice for this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    The NW2004s set-up by default installs the EP and other portal components when you select the Java stack. So I guess your question was whether we can have 1 EP system and 3 BW system in the landscape. But from my experience the lanscape has remained the same i..e - 3 BI system and 3 Portals, the reason clearly being that in order to fully utilize the BI7.0 frontend you need a portal. Now using 1 portal would put lots of load on it as in BI 7.0 many components require portal - Integrated planning, web reports, Admin cockpit, etc.

  • PRD - System landscape for Enterprise learning solution

    HI all,
    I want to setup the system landscape for my production server.
    I have 4 system. My Plan is
    1st System - DB + Ecc6
    2nd System - LSOFE
    3rd System - EP
    4th System - lsocp + KM flat file repository
    By default the ECC6 comes with LSOFE.
    My question is -- How to install LSOFE in separate host ?
    Can i go with add-in java for EP for 3rd System ?
    any pdf or link ....Kindly send to me.

    My question is -- How to install LSOFE in separate host ?
    As far as I know LSOFE is an add-on so you need a SAP system... only way will be to install a system in you other host.
    Can i go with add-in java for EP for 3rd System ?
    Why not...  (I'll look into the future utilization of the portal and If its better off as a standalone Java installation)

  • XI Technical and Business System Definition For MDM 2.0

    Hi,
    We're trying to define the XI technical and business system definitions for our MDM 2.0 installation to work with SRM 5.0 and PI 7.0.
    In the documentation we have we can't find reference to what type of a technical and business system to define. Should they be abap/java/standalone/3rd party?
    Does anyone have any install scripts of what they did?
    Regards,
    Jerry Martinek

    You can set it as third party and it will work fine.  Because MDM isn't built on the wed application server like the majority of the netweaver apps, it's basically treated like a third party system as far as integration is concerned.  Hence you send and receive XML documents to PI and convert them into IDocs to send to R/3
    Check the beginning of this document on creating the business and technical systems for MDM

  • Setting Up the System Landscape for ESS

    Hello Experts,
    I am implementing ESS in portal.
    I am in step of defining systems in portal for ESS/MSS.
    Below is link I am following from help.sap.com
    [Link|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/5b/76a6d7fd3a4e91bfb422405bf3e04d/frameset.htm]
    In above link it is mentioned that we have to define following systems :
    SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources
    SAP_ECC_Travel
    SAP_ITS_XSS
    SAP_BSP_EREC
    Additionaly according to below Article in SDN :
    [Link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eb036a-0a01-0010-25a3-b2224432640a?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
    Following additional systems must be created :
    SAP_ITS_EBU Looks similar to SAP_ITS_XSS above 
    SAP_R3_Financials
    Now the basis person in my project has handed over to me following systems :
    SAP_BSP_EREC
    SAP_ITS_FND Name mismatch as FND is used in place of XSS or EBU
    SAP_R3_Financials
    SAP_WebDynpro_ESS Name mismatch as ESS is used in place of XSS
    Now below two systems are altogether missing as per first link on help.sap.com
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources
    SAP_ECC_Travel
    Please explain if it requires to be corrected or name mismatch and missing ststems would do.
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    All the above names that you are referring to are not necessarily separate systems.
    These are system aliases for a system object created in your portal via System Administration - System landscape.
    So, if you have HR and Finance on the same backend server, then you need only one system with the related system aliases.
    You will need SAP_BSP_EREC only if you are planning on using E-recruitment.
    Similarly, you will need SAP_ITS_XSS  only if you are planning on using any ITS applications.
    It is pretty straight forward to change/correct the names of your system aliases instead of changing the usage of these aliases every where else.
    SAP_ECC_HumanResources is absolutely necessary.
    SAP_ECC_Travel is required if you are planning on using travel and expense related applications.
    Also, note that SAP_WebDynpro_XSS should be the alias of the system where your webdynpro applications are deployed (typically the same portal server)

  • What System Landscape for Point-to-Point communication

    Hi experts,
    i was searching for information about point-to-point communication and I'm a little confused currently. So maybe you can help me with some answers to clear up the confusion.
    To use Point-to-point communication a Enterprise Service Repository is needed. And to get a Enterprise Service Repository a SAP NetWeaver CE or PI installation is needed. Is this right?
    And to use the ESR as a middleware to use P2P communication what patch level does the ECC 6.0 need?
    Hope you can help and provide some information.
    Regards,
    Tan

    no idea?
    The main question is if Point-to-Point communication needs any kind of integration server (like Enterprise Service Repository) or not.
    And what Support Package Level is needed to use point-to-point communication. Does the SP-Level depend on the used service?
    Ok, I found the answer to the questions, maybe it help some of you.
    As I see point-to-point needs no integration server, and EhP5 seems to be neccessary.
    My next question is about the Business Functions that come along with EhP5. So there are (point-to-point) web services but are there any SAP components for general ledger connection (SAP AFI - SAP FI interface)?
