Best practice in migrating to a production system

Dear experts,
Which is the best practice to follow during an implementation project to organize development, quality and production environment?
In my case, considering that SRM is connected to the back-end development system, what should be done to connect SRM to back-end quality environment:
- connect the same SRM server to back-end quality environment, even if in this case the old data remain in SRM or
- connect another SRM server to back-end quality environment?
thanks,

Hello Gaia,
If yo have 3 landscape, backend connection should be like this.
SRM DEV   - ERP DEV
SRM QAS   - ERP QAS
SRM PRD - ERP PRD
If you have 2 landscape.
SRM(client 100) - ERP DEV
SRM(client 200) - ERP QAS
SRM PRD         - ERP PRD
Regards,
Masa

  • Best practice for migrating IDOCs?

    Subject: Best practice for migrating IDOC's? 
    Hi,
    I need to migrate some IDOC's to another system for 'historical reference'.
    However, I don't want to move them using the regular setup as I don't want the inbound processing to be triggered.
    The data that was created in the original system by the processed IDOC's will be migrated to the new system using migration workbench. I only need to migrate the IDOC's as-is due to legal requirements.
    What is the best way to do this? I can see three solutions:
    A) Download IDOC table contents to a local file and upload them in the new system. Quick and dirty approach, but it might also be a bit risky.
    B) Use LSMW. However, I'm not sure whether this is feasible for IDOC's.
    C) Using ALE and setting up a custom partner profile where inbound processing only writes the IDOC's to the database. Send the IDOC's from legacy to the new system. Using standard functionality in this way seems to me to be the best solution, but I need to make sure that the IDOC's once migration will get the same status as they had in the old system.
    Any help/input will be appreciated
    Regards
    Karl Johan
    PS. For anyone interested in the business case: Within EU the utility market was deregulated a few years ago, so that any customer can buy electricity from any supplier. When a customer switches supplier this is handled via EDI, in SAP using ALE and IDOC's. I'm working on a merger between two utility companies and for legal reasons we need to move the IDOC's. Any other data is migrated using migration workbench for IS-U.

    Hi Daniele
    I am not entirely sure, what you are asking, Please could you provide additional information.
    Are you looking for best practice recommendations for Governance, for example: Change transports between DEV, QA and PRD in BPC 7.0?
    What is the best method? Server Manager backup and restore, etc  ?
    And
    Best Practice recommendations on how to upgrade to a different version of BPC, for example: Upgrading from BPC 7.0 to 7.5 or 10.0 ?
    Kind Regards

  • Best Practice on Creating Queries in Production

    We are a fairly new BI installation. I'm interested in the approach other installations take to creation of queries in the production environment. Is it standard to create most queries directly into the production system? Or is it standard to develop the queries in the development system and transport them through to production?

    Hi,
    Best practices applied to all developments whether it is R/3, BI modelling or Reporting and as per the best practice we do development in Development system, testing in testing box and finally deploy successful development to production. yes for user analysis purpose, user can do adhoc analysis or in some scenario they create user specific custom queries (sometimes reffere as X-query created by super user).
    So it is always to do all yr developement in Development Box and then transport to Production after successful QA testing.

  • What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

    What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

    It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
    Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
    ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

  • Best practice for migration to new hardware

    Hi,
    We are commissioning new hardware for our Web Server. Our current webserver is version 6.1SP4, and for the new server we've decided to stay with 6.1 but install SP7.
    Is there a best practice for migrating content from one physical server to another?
    What configuration files should I watch out for?
    Hopefully the jump from SP4 to SP7 won't cause too many problems.
    Thanks,
    John

    unfortunately, there is no quick solution for migrating from 1 server to other. you will need to carefully reconstruct
    - acl rules
    - server hostname configurations
    - any certificates that have been created on the old machine

  • Best Practices for migrating .rpd

    Hi,
    Can someone please share with us the industry best practices for migrating the .rpd file from a source (QA) to a destination (Prod) environment. Our Oracle BI server runs on a unix box and currently what we do to migrate is to save copies of QA and prod .rpds on our local machine and do a Merge. Once merged, we ftp the resulting .rpd to destination (prod) machine. This approach does not seem reliable and we are looking for a better established approach for .rpd migration. Kindly help me where I can find the Documentation..Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    I don't think there is an industry best practice as such. What applies for one customer doesn't necessarily apply at another site.
    Have a read of this from Mark Rittman, it should give you some good ideas:

  • Best practice for migrating data tables- please comment.

    I have 5 new tables seeded with data that need to be promoted from a development to a production environment.
    Instead of the DBAs just using a tool to migrate the data they are insistent that I save and provide scripts for every single commit, in proper order, necessary to both build the table and insert the data from ground zero.
    I am very unaccustomed to this kind of environment and it seems much riskier for me to try and rebuild the objects from scratch when I already have a perfect, tested, ready model.
    They also require extensive documentation where every step is recorded in a document and use that for the deployment.
    I believe their rationale is they don't want to rely on backups but instead want to rely on a document that specifies each step to recreate.
    Please comment on your view of this practice. Thanks!

    >
    Nobody cares if if is riskier for you. The production environment is sacred. Any and all risk to it must be reduced to a minimum at all cost. In my opinion a DBA should NEVER move ANYTHING from a development environment directly to a production environment. NEVER.
    Development environments are sandboxes. They are often not backed up. You or anyone else could easily modify tables or data with no controls in place. Anything done in a DEV environment is assumed to be incomplete, unsecure, disposable and unvetted.
    If you are doing development and don't have scripts to rebuild your objects from scratch then you are doing it wrong. You should ALWAYS have your own backup copies of DDL in case anything happens (and it does) to the development environment. By 'have your own' I mean there should be copies in a version control system or central repository where your teammates can get their hands on them if you are not available.
    As for data - I agree with what others have said. Further - ALL data in a dev environment is assumed to be dev data and not production data. In all environments I have worked in ALL production data must be validated and approved by the business. That means every piece of data in lookup tables, fact tables, dimension tables, etc. Only computed data, such as might be in a data warehouse system generated by an ETL process might be exempt; but the process that creates that data is not exempt - that process and ultimately the data - must be signed off on by the business.
    And the business generally has no access to, or control of, a development environment. That means using a TEST or QA environment for the business users to test and validate.
    >
    They also require extensive documentation where every step is recorded in a document and use that for the deployment.
    I believe their rationale is they don't want to rely on backups but instead want to rely on a document that specifies each step to recreate.
    >
    Absolutely! That's how professional deployments are performed. Deployment documents are prepared and submitted for sign off by each of the affected groups. Those groups can include security, dba, business user, IT and even legal. The deployment documents always include recovery steps so that is something goes wrong or the deployment can't procede there is a documented procedure of how to restore the system to a valid working state.
    The deployments themselves that I participate in have representatives from the each of those groups in the room or on a conference call as each step of the deployment is performed. Your 5 tables may be used by stored procedures, views or other code that has to be deployed as part of the same process. Each step of the deployment has to be performed in the correct order. If something goes wrong the responsible party is responsible for assisting in the retry or recovery of their component.
    It is absolutely vital to have a known, secure, repeatable process for deployments. There are no shortcuts. I agree, for a simple 5 new table and small amount of data scenario it may seem like overkill.
    But, despite what you say it simply cannot be that easy for one simple reason. Adding 5 tables with data to a production system has no business impact or utility at all unless there is some code, process or application somewhere that accesses those tables and data. Your post didn't mention the part about what changes are being made to actually USE what you are adding.

    Dear All,
    This is Priya.
    We are using ODI 11.1.1.6 version.
    In my ODI project, we have separate installations for Dev, Test and Prod. i.e. Master repositories are not common between all the three. Now my code is ready in dev. Test environment is just installed with ODI and Master and Work repositories are created. Thats it
    Now, I need to know and understand what is the simple & best way to import the code from Dev and migrate it to test environment. Can some one brief the same as a step by step procedure in 5-6 lines? If this is the 1st time you are moving to QA, better export/import complete work repositories. If it is not the 1st time then create scenario of specific packages and export/import them to QA. In case of scenario you need not to bother about model/datastores. keep in mind that the logical schema name should be same in QA as used in your DEV.
    Some questions on current state.
    1. Do the id's of master and work repositories in Dev and Test need to be the same?It should be different.
    2. I usually see in export file a repository id with 999 and fail to understand what it is exactly. None of my master or work repositories are named with that id.It is required to ensure object uniqueness across several work repositories. For more understanding you can refer
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integrate.1111/e12643/export_import.htm
    http://odiexperts.com/odi-internal-id/
    3. Logical Architecture objects and context do not have an export option. What is the suitable alternative for this?If you are exporting topology then you will get the logical connection and context details. If you are not exporting topology then you need to manually create context and other physical connection/logical connection.

  • What is the best practice to migrate files from one profile to another?

    I am increasing having to move from one created local profile machine to an active directory joined mobile account.  What is the best way to migrate the files from one profile to another?

    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.

    Igor
