ALE setting DEV / PROD

Hello all,
I have a question about what is the best way to setting ALE. Our scenario is as follows: we have ALE in DEV to distribute master data from PA to E-recruiting, but we also need distribute data in PRO system, so what is the way to do this:
1.- Settint ALE in DEV with the respective partner profile and then distribute the model view.
or
2.- Setting ALE in PRO.
Regards
Emilio Ciotta

Hi Emilio,
as every system in the ALE has an unique Id you will need a separate distribution model set up for DEV and PROD and perhaps QS/TEST anyways. I know some companies setting up all scenarios in DEV, transport everything and then only activate the PROD version in PROD but I for my own prefer setting it up per system. When configuring e-recruiting you have to make some settings directly on the PROD server anyways (ICF activation, Service user setting, http / https conect, some T77S0 switches ....) so it should not be a big deal to open the servers that someone can do the ALE settings, too. So far this approach has not been a problem in any of my projects.
Best regards
Roman

Maintain runtime configuration dev/prod

I have a mapping (XSLT) which needs to fill in user and password for an external system. Actually, this XSLT creates a multipart document which needs to contain that user/pwd information.
Now when I transport that mapping to production, the user/pwd will change. What is the std XI way of storing/reading such dev/prod configuration differences if it cannot be stored in a communication channel, but needs to be done inside the IR objects ?
- Value Mapping ? Seems like that is designed for other requirements.
- creating a special configuration SW-component and modify the information there (in dev and prod separately) ? But in which object ? E.g. an xml configuration as imported archive ?
For obvious reasons, I want to avoid manually changing the mapping object everytime after transport to prod.

hi
You can use a properties file check this,
JCO Lookup - Hide the connection parameters from source code
Else use secure storage service which is more standard

Urgent: ALE setting for BAPI_PROFITCENTER_CREATE used in LSMW

Hi Experts
I have previously posted this qurey but wasnt able to get it solve .
I am working on a LSWM project ,which uses BAPI BAPI_PROFITCENTER_CREATE for upload of data,but I am facing a strange problem during the IDOC posting the error "No ALE scenario active in Profit Center Accounting" is shown and the status of IDOC goes to 51.
I have done all the ALE setting required for LSMW like File port ,partner type and partner number like creation of logical system and assigning the message type to that system.
Do we require to create distribution model aslos for this case?
What are the specific setting required to be done in case of any BAPI method for LSMW?
Please help me to solve this error.

Hi,
Once When you get message like 'Profit Center 000010' created it means You have not missed any mandatory data and it is successfully created. So don't think that you have missed some data.
Please Check in CEPC table again. Only enter PRCTR as 10 (no leading zeros required).
Still if you have problem refresh(F8) the table and check.
Hope you will get your data

Transfer ALE settings to PROD

Hello! I have a simple JDBC to IDOC scenario in TEST-system. I have alredy transfered all XI developments to XI-PROD system.
Now I need to transfer ERP-settings to generate partner data in PROD.
Could you help me please?

Andrey,
Though in most of the projects we set up ALE distribution model in all the instances manually but I have a blog, which talks about how can we transport it :
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417200)ID1524276250DB01857650165891326676End?blog=/pub/wlg/5926 ]
However following objects cannot be transported so need to be created in all systems :
- Port definition
- Partner profile definition
- Distribution model definition.
- RFC Destinations

Need Advice: Managing dev/prod servers and workflow.

Hello, thanks for your help.
I am currently running coldfusion dev server on my local machine, I use dreamweaver cs3 for coding/ftp, and have a shared hosting account with crystaltech. I want to create a local test environment that runs on my coldfusion test server, nd be able to push those files to a live web address preferably with a dev.sitename.com extension.
In dreamweaver I have a site called "sitename1". I have created a "testing server" with the local root of \coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1, my "Local Info" root folder is off my C:\\websites\sitename1\, and my remote folder is the \test\ folder off my TLD.. so www.sitename1.com\test\.
I can't seem to keep the files from the local testing server and my local info straight. When I'm working in the local testing server and open a file I get "would you like to overwrite your local version of this file?".. Also not all the files in the local testing environment we in the local info folder.
What's the best way to work in a dev environment where you have a testing server, local files and a shared host? How do I set up dreamweaver for best workflow and file management?
Thanks for your help.

I have no longer used Dreamweaver for some years now. I prefer Eclipse and ColdFusion Builder. However, some of the issues you mention are of a general nature, and apply to every developer, irrespective of the tool he uses.
It is vital to keep the files of your site and test site separate. In fact, I expected you to have partitioned the directories like this:
sitename1: c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\
Domain: www.sitename1.com
test_site: c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\test\
Domain: www.sitename1.com/test
Perhaps the most important aspect of separating the 2 sites is to give each its own Application.cfc file. The application file for the site will be in the directory c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\ and will contain the code this.name="sitename1"; to name the application. The application file for the test site will be in the directory c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\sitename1\test and will contain the code this.name="test";.
You should not aim to synchronize the files of your site with those of your test site. Such synchronization will defeat the purpose of testing. You test because there are faults. If there is an open door between the test environment and your site, uncorrected faults will soon find their way to the site.
I don't see any need for a "Local Info" site. The usual practice is to create a third environment, Acceptance, between Test and Site. Your workflow then proceeds as follows.
Test => Acceptance => Site (production)
In the Acceptance site, the aim is to mimic production before you actually go into production. You equip the tested code with application, configuration and other settings that mimic the production environment, and you test some more.
Document the main issues that arise at every stage of the process. Software is complex human work. It usually happens that you have to reverse what you've done. That's where documentation is vital. When everything is to your satisfaction, move the files from Acceptance to the site.

Upgrade to 11.1.2.1 using maintenance - Dev & PROD

Hi Experts,
I have two Environment for 11.1.2 (Prod & Dev)
Upgrading to 11.1.2.1 using maintenance which is OK.
Option 1: upgrade Dev to 11.1.2.1 ------> then new install/Config as PROD and using LCM to migrate Planning/reporting etc..... ( No impact on Prod; have time to test new Prod)
Option 2: upgrade DEV to 11.1.2.1 then upgrade Prod to 11.1.2.1 (both with similar process) (may impact Prod; no enough time to test)
Which option is better in practical scenario.
Please help.
Regards
Kumar

I suppose the choice is always yours, if you upgrade the dev environment using the maintenance release and see how the process goes then make a call what to do about prod.

In ALE setting how to distribute GL account to severals company codes ?

Hi all ,
I use ALE to distribute G/L account data from one company code to one another company ( different host ) .
It's work fine now.
Now I want to distribute G/L account data from one company code to severals company codes.
But in cross-company code setting ( Tx: OBB5 ), one global company can only be assing to local company code in receiving host.
I have no idea how to set up the ALE configuration.
Can anyone give me some suggestion . Tks.
Regards,
Eric.

Dear Sharvari,
All the master data can be created in a central system and then distributed to the local systems through distribution models. I think no copy of GLs is possible. In your case you can create the GL Accounts in your central system and it'll flow to other systems automatically through ALE. To achieve this please consult your BASIS consultant who'll design the distribution model as per your requirement.

BPEL, Easy or Automated Way to Migrate between dev, prod?

Hi, I haven't seen any forum posts or blogs addressing how to create bpel processes in a way that they can be deployed on different envrionments such as dev, qa, production, etc... without the developer needing to update the references to other bpel processes, db adapters, and java web services.
This is resulting in a lot of extra work, because when I import a bpel subprocess into a bpel process, it pulls in the exact end point rather then a generic end point. Then when I want to for example, move a process from dev to prod, I will need to deploy the subprocess and then manually update the partnerlink in the process. We have a lot of interdependencies, so this isn't scalable.
There has to be a better way, or even a recommended approach for moving between environments. If we can use dynamically generated endpoints, how would we do that?
Suggestions as to how to do this would be appreciated. We do have the esb if it is possible to leverage it.
Thanks

This might help http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/pdf/bpel-admin-webinar.pdf esp wrt changing things like polling freqencies etc in the adaptors. For database adaptors JNDI name should be used to vary the database details - setup in data-sources.xml and oc4j-ra.xml.
It sure would help if all this stuff were in the admin guide !

Different value coming for KBETR for rate(%) in dev & prod server for PO

Hi,
PO is printing from ADOBE for where condition is displaying...
conditon price is to display in PO adobe form. in production filed value KBETR is was displaying 170.00% and in development it was displaying 17.00% in adobe form output. i debugged in development and production server and compared that there are a code line in both server at same line 4923
CODE IN production"PERFORM %OUTPUT USING 'KBETR' %WORKAREA6-KBETR 'CURR' ' ' 'CONDITIONS-KOEI1' %WORKAREA6-KOEI1 ' '."
Code in development:"PERFORM %OUTPUT USING 'KBETR' %WORKAREA6-KBETR 'CURR' 'P ' 'CONDITIONS-KOEI1' %WORKAREA6-KOEI1 ' '."
we can see clearly parameter 'P' is passed in Dev server code but not in prod its space because of this space inside this perform KBETR value is not converte from 170.00 to 17.000.
after finding problem i tried to change the data type for EBELN field and cheked code in dev after some time then code is not changed.
but after one day i saw in morning that dev server also starte acting same as prod, means KBETR value is displaying 170.00% then i checked the code once again in dev then i saw: "PERFORM %OUTPUT USING 'KBETR' %WORKAREA6-KBETR 'CURR' ' ' 'CONDITIONS-KOEI1' %WORKAREA6-KOEI1 ' '."
'P' was deleted and space was coming...
i tried all possible method to change it even though i deleted field and created once again then also problem was same...
and one more thing i observed that in activating the ADOBE form and checking the FM generated is same everytime...
is there any other method to activate or update the code after changing adobe and activating....
one more thing when i create a copy the adobe form where P is not passed then in copied P is present...
Please help me in this...

How to compare all macros in the Macro workbench with DeV & Prod system

I have one issue with macros, all the macros in maco workbebnch in developement system are not in sink with Production system.
I want to campare macros in both the system & based on comparison need to add or deactivate macros in the Developement system & move Transport request to accross the landscape like Dev-QA& Prod system.so that all macros are in sink with three different system.
Can anybody advice,Is there any tool or T-code that compare all the macros in the two different systems.

This code is different from yours. For one thing, the first part, where inOrder is false, is not included because you did not post what behavior that is supposed to perform. The code below does what you posted...it puts some Strings into a Stack, then parses the Stack. If adj is followed by NP* then adj is removed. Then the new Stack is parsed to find det followed by NP*, and det is removed while NP* is changed to NP.
import java.util.Stack;
import java.util.Vector;
public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Stack stack=new Stack();
      Stack stack2=new Stack();
      String[] s={"no","adj","NP*","adj","not","NP*","adj","NP*","dumb","det","NP*"};
      for(int i=s.length-1;i>-1;i--) stack.push(s);
stack=structureCheck(stack,"adj","NP*","NP*");
for(int i=stack.size()-1;i>-1;i--)
System.out.println(stack.elementAt(i));
System.out.println();
stack=structureCheck(stack,"det","NP*","NP");
for(int i=stack.size()-1;i>-1;i--)
System.out.println(stack.elementAt(i));
public static Stack structureCheck(Stack s,String tofind,String tomatch,String tochangeto) {
Stack orderStack = new Stack();
for(int i=0;i<s.size();i++) {
String str=(String) s.elementAt(i);
if(i<s.size()-1 && str.equals(tomatch) && ((String) s.elementAt(i+1)).equals(tofind)) {
i++;
orderStack.add(tochangeto);
} else
orderStack.add(str);
return orderStack;

ALE: setting up reduced IDoc type for use in 4.7 and ERP 2005 problem

I need to set up a reduced HRMD_A message type and then use it to send HR data from a 4.7 system to an ERP 2005 system.
To define the reduced type in both systems I use transaction BD53 (Idoc reduction maintenance).
The problem is that the transaction offers HRMD_A06 as the basic type on a 4.7 system and HRMD_A07 on ERP 2005. Thus i cannot set up identical definitions.
I suppose I should 'step back' to A06 at the ERP 2005 system somehow, but where to look for?..
Thank you in advance!

The table is maintained with BD69 - Assignment of message type to IDOC type.
In my case I added one line with values:
Message type: {my reduced message type}
Basic type: HRMD_A06
Extension: {my HRMD_A06 extension}
Also it looks like there is another (better?) way of making the assignment. It is done with WE82, described in sap help here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/dc/6b7db043d711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm and also discussed in this topic.
