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

Hello,
Check the below thread. It mentions all the tables that contain batch job information.
https://scn.sap.com/thread/1709175
" Check below mentioned tables
BTCCTL,
BTCDELAY
BTCEVTJOB
BTCH1000
BTCH1010
TBTCO
TBTCP
These have all the information you need regarding background jobs, you may export these tables at the source and import them "
Check and provide feedback.

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.

Trigger a background job after executing tcode MMPV

Hi All,
I would like to trigger a background job after executing tcode MMPV. In MMPV, after closing a particular period and entering
new period, the transaction will be saved. After saving, the background job should be triggered. How to do it?
Regards,
Vinod

Depending what system you are on your best bet would be to create an enhancement point inside a form, that is called after the save has been performed, and raise an event within that form.
Events can be used to trigger background jobs are maintained in transaction SM62.
Cheers.

Schedule background job using system variant

Dear gurus,
We're planning to schedule background job using system variant, for example, current fiscal year and current posting period (transaction AFAB). Is it possible? So for example, for this month, "Posting Period" value will be 6, and then next month will be 7.
Can you tell me how to do this, if I want to set up the schedule only once?
Thanks for your help.

Scheduled Background jobs after Client Copy

Hello,
I've been doing some searching online and I don't seem to be able to find a definitive answer to this question:
Are background jobs client specific?
I've seen some discussions on here say some are and some are not. I've also seen a discussion that says ALL background jobs are client specific.
It's really related to non-SAP background jobs after a client copy.
If I have a client 100 in QA with half a dozen non-SAP standard jobs configured, and I create client 110 in QA and perform a remote client copy from PROD into client 110 on QA, will my non-SAP standard backgrounds run in Client 110, or do I need to set them all up again?
Thanks

Hello All
If I have a client 100 in QA with half a dozen non-SAP standard jobs configured, and I create client 110 in QA and perform a remote client copy from PROD into client 110 on QA, will my non-SAP standard backgrounds run in Client 110, or do I need to set them all up again?
Yes. You will need to set those non standard jobs in the new client. When you schedule a job there will be a reference to the client where the job will be executed is stored under AUTHCKMAN in the table TBTCO. If the job is scheduled periodically then the job is executed only on the client where it is scheduled.
I used SAP_ALL profile when performing the client copy. So my scheduled jobs WILL have been copied along with everything else? Is that correct?
In SAP_ALL profile the background jobs will be coming from source client not from QA client 100.
No. Background jobs are not transportable and will not be copied during a client copy. Job definitions are client independent.
Read these SAP notes.
31503 - FAQ: Background jobs
51135 - Why are bkgd processing jobs not generally transportable?
If you want to schedule those jobs in the new client the follow the suggestion in the SAP note 3150 point 6.

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

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.

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'.

Error in Background Jobs After Client Copy

Hi,
We had performed a system refresh from a production client(with client no 300) to a quality server (client no: 200). The post processing steps were performed ok. Later the client 300 on the quality server was dropped. However, the scheduled user jobs in the background on client 200 still refer to the original client 300 and abort.
Is there any way of modifying there jobs(there are lots of them) so that the client(300 in this case) reference is modified to the existing client 200.
Points will be rewarded for good answer.
Thanks and Regards,
Subodh

Hi
The reason for the jobs getting cancelled could be that they are
client dependent jobs and inoder to resolve the issue, please
reschedule the jobs in client 200 and check whether the job fails.
Please let me know if all the jobs are failing or the issue is only
with the client dependent jobs.
Hope this information helps. Please get back to me if further
assistance is required. I would be glad to assist you.

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

Background jobs and system shutdown

Hello,
I would like to know what happens if the BI jobs were not suspended prior to system shutdown? how will that impact those jobs after the restart of the system? I was wondering what would happen to the jobs that were active vs. jobs that were released/scheduled......we we need to re run/ re schedule them again after the restart? please advice...thanks

Hi,
When you say background jobs, I believe what you meant jobs in the "Active" or "Released" status. These jobs will get cancelled as once you shutdown, the work processes are going to stop.
Once, you start the system you can re-run them or re-schedule them. For BI jobs which perform data-loading from other satellite systems (ERP, SCM, or other BI systems in a data-mart kind of a configuration), these data loads will fail & the data in the infoCube, PSA, etc will not be the updated data (may be master or transactional data).
So, for these you'll have to request the BI-Teams to re-run the data load & batch jobs.

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

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
