Best method to transport changes from DEV to Prod Environment

Hi SDNers,
I have a requirement here :
I have made some changes to the DEV environment, which i want to move to the production Environment.
Changes mainly include the Structural changes, XSD's, Import maps, Remote systems, Export Maps, Validations etc. Please note that I DO NOT WANT to transport the data from DEV to Prod environment.
I can see 2 options available :
1. Export/Import Repository schema - But as far as i know, the import and export maps will not be transported auomatically through Export/Import Schema.
2. Archive/Unarchiving Without data -
Here are my questions :
1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
Please respond to my queries.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin Jain

Hi Nitin,
If you use Archive/UnArchive option without data then you cannot persists the PROD env since you need to UnArchive the entire repository which is empty and then you need to move the PROD data into this repository.
1. Is the 2nd option feasible looking at the changes I need to transport? If yes, is there any recommended guide available by SAP suggesting the 2nd option for trnasport mechanism.( Please sendme the links)
Ans. I don't think, 2nd option is feasible as a mentioned earlier. This option should be used when we need the entire repository without data which is not the case you are looking for.
2. Will it affect the data in Prodcution in any chance?
Ans. If you are using 2nd option then this question is not related because when you UnArchive, you will get the new repository so this wont affect the existing repository at all.
3. Is there anything Archiving/Unarchiving without data cannot handle.
Ans. Workflows
4. Will it impact any other normal running of Production environment.
Ans. If you are using 1st option then you need to unload the PROD repository first and then import the changes. For option 2 its not related.

Jitesh Talreja

  • Transport requests from dev to prod

    Hello,
    It's possible to transport requests from a BW developing system with
    HP-UX IA 64 (with itanium processor) operating system, to a production
    system with HP-UX 11i v1(with risc processors) operating system.
    We installed BW 3.0 for developing on HP-UX IA 64 and BW 3.0 on HP-UX
    11i v1.
    Thank you,

    You could, if you configure your transport connection correctly.

    Hi,
    By using File system or cms you can transport, better to do the configuration steps manually to avoid ther errors.
    We can do some changes to move
    Moving Dev to QA changes
    1.SLD: are there any changes we need to do.
    If you have common SLD, then I doubt if you may need any changes on SLD side.
    The Business systems you had used will be the same you may use in Q-Landscape.
    2.IR: are there any changes we need to do.
    ---> No changes required, you need to export .tpz file from Development box and have to import it in Q-box
    3.ID: do we need to recreate it fully or after importing,just change the Communication channels will
    do.I am confused here.
    You need to reconfigure all communication channels, if SLD changes are OK then business system will
      change automatically and in communication channel just filled in correct IP/password etc.
    ---> Similar to IR, you can transport these objects also. But you may need to do related changes to communication channels, if you will be referring to different Sender systems and Receiver systems.
    Then as mentioned in previous posts you may need to maintain those Business systems in SLD also.
    4.RWB: such as alerts,and if there are any...
    --> The Alerts will not be transported....you need to create it as new setup for every box.

  • What is the best practice to migrate code from dev  to prod

    I have few questions related OWB version control/migration.
    1. What is the best way to Version the design repository
    We want to keep a separate copy of production and test version all the time.
    Do we have to create design repository in each environment ?
    2. Is it possible to have multiple copies of the same mapping ? If yes how this is done in OWB
    3. How to migrate the code to different environments
    2.1 Is there a way to provide DBA with script for deploying PL/SQL mapping without using OWB ?
    2.2 How important is the setting before actual code in the XML file is required to execute the mapping.
    2.3 We are planning to create tables , materialized view etc., outside OWB will this cause any problems ?
    Note : Our DBA prepare compiling the code through SQLPLUS
    3. Which user ( target owner or runtime access ) should be used to execute the mapping through sqlplus.
    We are looking for a solution were we do not have to use OWB tools for version control , migration and deployment. Currently we are using PVCS for version control and migration.
    we are using OWB 9.2 , Oracle 9.2.
    Any suggestion/ comments are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sekar,K

    Some answers below:
    1. Yes, you should use snapshots (right click on t he object and select create snapshot or on the project menu, select Change Manager for a centralized snapshot management).
    2. See above.
    3. Usually you will export the (test/development) design repository to an mdl file, and import it into the other (production) design directory. Then you will deploy the code from the other design directory into the production target (runtime).
    2.1 From 9.2 on, you will have to deploy to file and then use OWB scripting (OMBPlus) to deploy the generated file outside of the deployment manager.
    2.2 Not sure what is asked in this question - can you rephrase?
    2.3 No, but the creation and use of thes will not be managed and audited by OWB (Runtime Audit Browser)
    3.(bis) The target owner.

  • Transport from DEV to PROD  BPC 7.5

    Hi
    i had a question of transporting AppSets from DEV to PROD System.
    On the PROD Systems are no AppSets the PROD System is completly new.
    Is it possible to transport the AppSets directly from the DEV to the PROD or must we first make a Backup in the DEV and an Restore in the PROD.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Carsten,
    As far as i understand you need to transport application sets individually, from development to production. The object type ASET and APPM refer to an application set and application respectively.
    As mentioned above, you can check and confirm from SAP Support if the back up mode ia now available to users.
    Hope this helps.

  • We have 4000 transports...would like to know the best methods of transports

    We have 4000 transports...would like to know the best methods of transports.I understand mass transports and consolidation of transports through transport organiser can be of help ..However would like to understand more on the following points
    1)In both the cases, how dependencies between transports will be managed.
    2)How Sequencing will be managed?
    3)Which is recommended and under what circumstances?
    4)Pros and cons of each?
    Thanks
    Shamna

    Have those transports already be transported (e.g. from Dev to Test?) - if so the transports from Test to Prod must be in the exact same sequence you transported them into Test because only then the coding status will be exactly the same.
    If there was no transport yet then you usually transport in the sequence of the transport numbers - however if they have not yet been transported you don't know, if there are dependencies between different transports unless you kept a kind of log.
    In that case the savest way to transport everything is to combine all objects of all transports into one transport and then let that one run into Test and Prod. That way you would not have to worry about sequence problems where a newer version is overwritten by an older version.
    However the big transport only works if all the objects in those 4000 transports are not locked in any open request. You can create that transport by using SE03 and choosing 'Merge Object Lists' - just paste all the transports into the selection field and execute. You don't have to do all 4000 at once but do it in packages.
    Hope that helps,
    Michael

  • Transport Error from Dev to QA.

    Hi All,
    We r facing transport error while transporting req from Dev to QA,
    Created queries in dev and try to trasport in QA.
    Error:

    Hi.
    I have collected all neccessary object which query contains, but after releasing the request it shows the message,
    The request contains message that have already been edited & transported to other projects. To avoid overshooter problem when importing you need to create dependency information for the request with which object were last transported. The requiered information is listed here together with the existing information.
    Should i go ahed with above message???? Is there any dependency?

    Hi,
    You can use scatt tool to upload the data in the developement server. Prepare a file with data. Do it in developement environment only. then in SCATT you have remote logon facility using which you can run the scatt in developement environment and the result will be placed in the production server.
    Let me know if you what more information on this.

  • Problem when i transported  DTP from DEV to QA

  • Transporting workflows from DEV to QA

    Hi I have three queries.
    1. When we transport wokflows from Dev to QA the agent assignment for tasks does not get transported. For eg. If we set a task as a general task in Dev, it does not get transported to QA. What do I do to ensure that the agent assignment and the task classification gets transported.
    2. Also when we transport the workflow, if our workflow is triggered by events, the event linkage is inactive.(header data for the workflow template). How do I ensure that the event linkage stays active after we transport the WF to QA.
    3. How do I transport organizations assignments to QA (transaction PPOM, PPOC stuff). It does not create a transport request when we create a new org. structure, positions, jobs etc.
    Help would be appreciated.
