Adding transports to import queue after System Refresh

Hello All,
Every time we do system refresh from PRD to Sandbox as a part of post refresh activity we need to import all the transports which are in the import queue of PRD(which are not yet imported to PRD) to our Sandbox.
But its a tedious job, as in the import queue many old transports which are still not yet imported to PRD will b there.
So may b around 150+ transport requests in the import queue of PRD, which we need to add those manually from path
Extras---->other requests -
> Add. doing same for 150 times. cant even imagine dat work.
So my question is, Is there any way to get the replica of import queue of PRD to Sandbox.
Some where i read like transport buffer in the path /usr/sap/trans/buffer/<SID> of the system will have list of all transports in the import queue.
So can i copy dat file and replace SID with Sandbox SID and place it in the Sandbox under same path.
Please suggest or give me a correct solution.
Regards,
Ravi

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I had read about using script like tp addtobuffer inorder to add the transports to the import queue some time back.
But forwarding transports is a new method i got to know here which even looks easy too. It would be great if any 1 tell me how forwarding works.
Also it would b fine if who all uses this method of forwarding to add transports to import queue do reply about any problems faced while forwarding requests.
Bcoz in our landscape , transport route is as below
Dev to QA and Sandbox then from QA transports will move to Production.
So after refresh forwarding Transports from PRD to Sandbox, how does this work. Please share your suggestions.
Regards,
Ravi

False backup / archive alerts after system refresh

We have implemented CCMS on our systems. We recently refreshed our QTS system with a backup of production (PTD). CCMS is now sending alerts for backups and archives. It tells us that the backup and archive did never run.
I checked DB12 and found that there is no data in DB12. This is probably due to the system refresh.
Is there any extra post refresh step that we can do to prevent these false alerts (other than running a full online backup as post refresh step)? Is it possible to export the backup information (tables used by DB12) as pre refresh step and re-import them after the refresh?

Will it create issues if we do not delete tables SDBAH and SDBAD during the refresh?
No. BTW, tables are not to be deleted, just the table 'entries'.

After System Refresh Variants missing

Hi,
We have used Export / Import method to build QAS system from production
ABAP export file.
After System refresh we got the same Production client with all
configurations, Variants, Object including data.. Which is Perfect.
But, as per our business we don't want to use the same production
client number in Quality System., so we done Cliet Copy to copy to
different client (ex: Client 200) using SAP_ALL profile.
Question: But after client copy we found that some Data, Objects,
Variants are missing in the new client (200).
Ex: In Client 100 (Copy of production client) table T009 is having 10
entries, but after client copy in client 200 the same table doesn't have any
entry in that including standard and Z.
Please help me on this, how do I get clone / copy of 100 client
(original client)
Thank You,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
Looks like your client copy didn't bring all the data and Objects, Did you checked logs, Is there any error message ? The client copy completed with all the tables ?
You can try Remote client copy method .
You can manually export the variants from the source client to Target client and you need to export the Variants from the table VARID, VARI, VARIT and VARIS.
You can use the below forum procedure to export and import variants.
how to export RFC destination to file in order to import it in an other sys
Since, not only the variants you are missing data and Objects, I would suggest for re-copy the client.

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.

SAP License issue after system refresh.

Hi,
After system refresh, refreshed system has License info of source system. When trying to apply license from unix, it gives below error, saying system number is incorrect to apply new license. Looks the system number of source system is causing issue. I checked, there is no data in MLICHECK table. I could see some info in "saplikey" table. System is 700 system.
sidadm> saplikey -install "/home/SID/sid_multiple.txt pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/SID_DVEBMGS01_sapsidci
This system's system number is "000000000710287641", but there is a license key
for system number "000000000711311441" in file "/home/SID/sid_multiple.txt".
sidadm>
Thanks.

First check whether you have deleted all invalid licenses?
use below command to delete invalid licenses
sidadm>saplicense -delete
And apply new license based on new hardwarekey with below command
sidadm>saplicense -install
*I think there should be some invalid licenses lying in your system

hi
Do a
select * from dba_temp_files; .
If you are getting the same eror, seems the temp file is corrupted.
Simply drop the temp tablespace, create a new one
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
      TEMPFILE '/oradata/mytemp_01.tmp' SIZE <> M
      EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 16M;
and then make it a database default
Alter 'database default temporary tablespace PSAPTEMP.
Then again check select * from dba_temp_files.
let us know the results.

Rebuilding Domain controller & Transport Routes after system refresh

I have refreshed Dev from Prdn, now my domain controller only shows single system
I have documentation but, it is confusing to me how to have QAS and Prdn join the domain controller again and show the domain as a three tier system
When I log into QAS and Prdn I still see the old 3 tier system including the domain and the other systems.
Please advise
maria
Edited by: Maria Graziano on Mar 27, 2008 3:53 PM

You don't perform backup of domain controller.
You only designate in STMS one of servers as "Backup Domain Controller"
when Primary controller fails than "Backup domain Controller" takes his role and becomes a primary.
So action to refresh domain controller is:
1. Designate one of servers as backup domain controller
2. Backup transport directory if it is on refreshed server (just in case)
3. Switch backup controller to become primary
4. Refresh primary system
5. Join refreshed system to domain
6. Switch back primary function to refreshed server

Transports Issue after system Refresh

Hi All,
Recently we performed a system refresh from our Production to Development system. It is SAP ERP 6.0 ehp5 system. The refresh was successful however we are seeing issues related to STMS.
1. In our development system we are unable to use SCC1 to move transport from one client to another. The following is the dump.
Category               ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors         UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
Except.                CX_SDB_ORA_PROGRAM_ERROR
ABAP Program           CL_SDB_ORA_UPDATE_STATS=======CP
Application Component BC-DB-ORA-CCM
The occurrence of the exception is closely related to the occurrence of
a previous exception "CX_SQL_EXCEPTION", which was raised in the program
"CL_SQL_STATEMENT==============CP",
specifically in line 24 of the (include) program
"CL_SQL_STATEMENT==============CM008".
The cause of the exception was:
ORA-20003: Specified bug number (16470836) does not exist#ORA-06512: at
"SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 23922#ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line
23973#ORA-06512: at line 1
2. We are not able to see the sub request record for the transports is missing in E070 table for the TRs which were created before refresh.
Please provide your inputs and help us to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

Hi
Why do you mean by "system refresh from our Production to Development system"
DB copy or client copy ?
Based on the problem you have it must have been a DB copy.
As you might know this is not recommended by SAP, you should at least have exported the object versions as stated in the here under note.
I hope your TMS domain controller was the production system...
It is normal that you did loose data in the CTS tables as you overwrite all CTS tables with the data from production, thus orders created in DEV that were not released should have been erased.
I'm afraid your problem could be tougher than a simple Oracle error...
For the Oracle error could you try launching system statistic and see if you get the same error
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t system_stats
Why did you perform that refresh, client copy could have been a safer alternative.

130906 - How can versions be transported?
You want to copy the versions of the repository objects from one R/3 system into another, for example because you are planning to copy your production system to your development system.
Such a procedure does not correspond to the strategy recommended by SAP, to always retain the development system.

TMS, profiles after System Refresh

Hi All,
I have done a system refresh from PD1(old prod) to PRD(new prod) on new server.
I faced following problem after the refresh.
1. The instance profile of PD1 had many parameter.., after copying that in PRD, sap wont start. So I have commented many of those parameter from the instance profile of PRD?
2. After the refresh, since PRD doesnt have the transport request of PD1, how do I put those request to PRD?
I have the backup of \trans folder of PD1.
Regards
Prash

Hi,
Rename the file from \trans\buffer\HD1 to PRD worked!!!
-> the only concern if transport buffer is clean up in between then some request was missing in import queue of PRD.
zcsa/installed_languages = DE
this should be ED
zcsa/system_language = E is OK.
install/codepage/appl_server = 1100 -> this is for codepage installed on your application server
I get message like PXA_NO_SHARED_MEMORY occured
and SYSTEM_NO_ROLL occured..
-> are you using 32 bit OS ?
check Note 103747 - Performance: Parameter recommendations as of Release 4.0
Note 88416 - Zero administration memory management as of 4.0A/ Windows
also consider Note 129813 - Windows: Problems due to address space fragmentation

Table structure changed in testing system after system refresh.

Hi Team,
Recently we underwent a system refresh in Testing System where the Testing data is filled with Production data. But now we find that in one table some fields which we had deleted they are again found there. The version history of table is also gone. The table object was under testing in testing system and after which it was supposed to be transported to production. I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure. Please correct me if I am wrong. Please also let me know what could be the reason of those changes in table if it is not System Refresh.
Regards,
Amit

I believe System refresh only means refresh of data and it has nothing to do with table structure.
Alas, you were wrong, after all table definition are data too, as program sources...
You have to re-import every transport request which was not yet transported to production in your test system.

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

Source System Problem after system refresh in RSA1 trx

Hi,
We have R/3 4.7 Test source system created in our SCM 2007 Test System. The source system check was OK.
The R3 Test system was refreshed with Production data few days back and now my source system is not working. When i perform Source System check it says:
BI unknown in source system
BI IDoc type ZSSB006 is not the same as source system IDoc type
I performed following steps in R3 Test system after its system refresh:
1. Created logcal system and created RFC.
2. Created port in trx we21.
3. Created partner profile in trx we20.
4. For the outbound parameter RSSEND, I had to create idoc type that should be same as in my SCM system i.e. ZSSB006.
5. Created idoc type using trx we30 as a copy of RSSEND and added entry in table EDIMSG. Now, i could also create outbound parameter RSSEND with idoc type ZSSB006.
After performing the above steps i also replicated the datasources for the R3 Test source system, but its still showing above error.
I also checked the RSBASIDOC table in SCM test system. It has correct entry for my source system. But there is no such entry in RSBASIDOC table in the R3 test system.
Someone pls help me.

Hi Chintan,
Can you please check IDOC in your Target system. It should be the same type. Better you do the Partner profile steps.
Also please check have correctly created the idoc in Inbound or Outbound.
Consider the case like if its exist in BW as Out bound then its connected to Inbound IDOC of R/3 and vice a versa.
Please elaborate your refresh activites. Normally IDOC setting never get changed in you refresh activites.
Just check your BW system patch level and search for Notes.

Backup of background jobs after system refresh

Hi All,
I want to know that during the system refresh how can we take the backup of the background jobs which are in "Released" state so that we can schedule them the same way after the refresh is done. Presently we are taking the screen shot of "start condition" and "step" of each and every job and then using those screenshots we are scheduling them again after the refresh is completed. It would be really helpful and time saving for us if we come to know the tables where this information is stored and also if there is any other easier way for this.
Regards,
Lovneesh
