Best practice to change SAP BW login parameters after Universe migration

Hello All,
I am working with SAP BW and BOBJ XI 3.1.
And we are using "Use specified username and password" Authentication mode when we are establishing the connection to SAP BW. At present after migrating the Universe let's say from Dev to Test, We are logging in to the Universe in the Test environment and modifying the connection parameters to point the Universe to Test BW system.
By default when we migrate the Universe it's still pointingg to BW Dev system.
My question is when we use "Use specified username and password" Authentication mode, what's the best way to change the connection parameters.
I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks
Padma

Ingo,
Thanks a lot for your response.
At present we are using the standard import wizard.
You think the LifeCycle Management has the option to change the login information during the migration??
Very soon we will be evaluating the tool.
Thanks
Padma

  • What is the best practice for changing view states?

    I have a component with two Pie Charts that display
    percentages at two specific dates (think start and end values).
    But, I have three views: Start Value only, End Value only, or show
    Both. I am using a ToggleButtonBar to control the display. What is
    the best practice for changing this kind of view state? Right now
    (since this code was inherited), the view states are changed in an
    ActionScript function which sets the visible and includeInLayout
    properties on each Pie Chart based on the selectedIndex of the
    ToggleButtonBar, but, this just doesn't seem like the best way to
    do this - not very dynamic. I'd like to be able to change the state
    based on the name of the selectedItem, in case the order of the
    ToggleButtons changes, and since I am storing the name of the
    selectedItem for future reference.
    Would using States be better? If so, what would be the best
    way to implement this?
    Thanks.

    I would stick with non-states, as I have always heard that
    states are more for smaller components that need to change under
    certain conditions, like a login screen that changes if the user
    needs to register.
    That said, if the UI of what you are dealing with is not
    overly complex, and if it will not become overly complex, maybe
    states is the way to go.
    Looking at your code, I don't think you'll save much in terms
    of lines of code.

  • Best Practice for Change Maintenance Order Number Range

    Hello
    We have decided that our Maintenance Orders will always start with the year of the open date. Example 201112345155
    Every year we will need to change the number ranges
    What is the best practice to change the order number range? What is the best approach here?
    I have also another question. Why the "Current Number" is not incremental?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    The current number can be explained by use of buffering of the numbers. Buffering is defined via transaction SNRO, the  AUFTRAG object is relevant for orders. When buffering is active, a set of unused numbers are assigned to each application server.
    In your example -  The fiirst 20 numbers were taken from the available number range and assigned to the buffer (possible 10 numbers to each of two servers). As orders are created a number is assigned from the buffer. Once the buffer values are used a further set of numbers are taken from the number range and the current number is increased (by buffer value).

  • What is the best practice to protect coldfusion administrator login page

    Hi all,
    Can someone suggest what is the best practice to protect the administrator login? At the moment, there is only the normal administrator page password to protect. It seems like not very secure especially when the application is on the internet.
    Regards,
    Bubblegum.

    You can protect the page with file system level privs.  Setup a new virtual server that maps to a seperate copy of /cfide (and remove /admin and /adminapi from the other cfide folder your internet sites use).  Limit what IP addresses can hit /cfide.
    We run multiple instances, so we connect directly to each instance to manage it.  And those ports aren't accessable on the internet.  To top it off, we have an ISAPI ReWrite rule that sends a 404 if you try /cfide/administrator or adminapi.
    If you're using CF8, you can set it up so it requires a specific username instead of a generic name.

  • Best practice when changing a lot of forms

    Hi gurus,
    if you have a lot of forms to manipulate and a lot of logic to change, what would be the best practice ?
    Making some manipulation objects would be a nice thing. When I think of about 200 items or more on nearly every standard-form in B1 not included the logic behind, my brain gets dizzy
    So there's no way than to keep the code clean and structured. Am I right ????
    What about VB-Classes ?? I'm not sure about the stability of VB.net classes in bigger projects. C# would be nice, but isn't supported as I have in mind.
    Does anyone have experience with big B1 VB.net projects especially concerning the stability of B1 and the resulting performance ?!?!?!???
    The company I'm working for, seems to live from the flexibility of the software

  • Best Practice: Dynamically changing Item-Level permissions?

    Hi all,
    Can you share your opinion on the best practice for Dynamically changing item permissions?
    For example, given this scenario:
    Item Creator can create an initial item.
    After item creator creates, the item becomes read-only for him. Other users can create, but they can only see their own entries (Created by).
    At any point in time, other users can be given Read access (or any other access) by an Administrator to a specific item.
    The item is then given edit permission to a Reviewer and Approver. Reviewers can only edit, and Approvers can only approve.
    After the item has been reviewed, the item becomes read-only to everyone.
    I read that there is only a specific number of unique permissions for a List / Library before performance issues start to set in. Given the requirements above, it looks like item-level permission is unavoidable.
    Do you have certain ideas how best to go with this?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to change item level permission.
    There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.               
    You can create a custom permission level using Visual Studio to allow users to add & view items, but not edit permission.   
    Then create a group with the custom permission level. The users in this group would have the permission of create & add permission, but they could no edit the item.
    In the CodePlex, there is a custom workflow activities, but by default it only have four permission level:
    Full Control , Design ,Contribute and Read.
    You should also customize some permission levels for your scenario. 
    What’s more, when use the SharePoint 2013 designer, you should only use the 2010 platform to create the workflow using this activities,

  • Best practice to Change Dial plan?

    Hi,
    Customer has made plenty of misdialed 911 calls so they want to change the dial plan. They have CUCM, CUC and UCCX .. I will try to suggest putting a delay for 3 sec or so and blocking 911! or 911!# translation pattern .. but in case if they do want to change their dial out number.. what's the best practice for this? I tried looking for a suggestion or document but couldn't find it... at this point I can only think of copying existing RP's and change the dial out number to 8 and if required if they will have an H.323 gateway then might require configuration on dial peers... Any suggestion on this is appreciated? Thanks

    Hi Vishal,
    If 911 is being dialed accidentally, you can try configuring a 9.911 or 911# route pattern. 9.911 will  require you to change the destination pattern and forward digit settings on dial-peer or you can actually strip it on cucm itself and will not require a change on dial-peers. Other than that you need to check your dial-plan and see if there are any router patterns that are overlapping with 911 you can try editing them as well by changing the first digit for those route patterns to something other than 9.

  • Best practice for Changing OWA URL

    Hi,
    we have an exchange 2010 environment where our cas array fqdn is mail.domain.com our owa address is also mail.domain.com
    this was working fine for us for a while but we have purchases a hardware load balancer and their best practice is to have the connections to the cas array on 1 VIP and the OWA on a second VIP, I have created a DNS record both externally and internally for
    OWA as webmail.domain.com and have updated our SSL certificate to include this. the fqdn for the cas array will stay the same.  I am just looking for some advice on what all needs to be changed and if there will be any impact to the users, can I simply
    change the internal  and external URL for each of the 2 servers in EMC for OWA,ECP,activesync, and OAB, is this best practice? will this have any impact on users currently connected when the change is made? will previously connected machines pick up on
    the changes right away?
    Thanks,

    If you have updated the records in DNS...
    If you have changed the name on the certificate...
    You should be fine.
    I would also change the internal and external URLs as you plan to (even though OWA, for example, will work without an URL configured here - not sure about a incorrect URL however).
    When we make changes to these CAS settings we usually run this command afterwards:
    iisreset /noforce
    I would make the change outside of business hours and test. There are no client-side changes to make and clients *should* adjust to the new settings on the next session - but I am not sure there would be no interruption to an existing connection (?).
    Clients might have to clear their cache (cookies).
    Clients might have problems if they have shortcuts to the old URL.
    That is why I would test first.
    Follow your organization's change control process if you have one.
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

  • Best Practices v3.31 - SAP InfoSet Query connection

    Hi,
    I have a problem with adapting a Crystal Report from Best Practices for Business Intelligence v3.31 to SAP system. The report "Cost Analysis Planned vs. Actual Order Costs.rpt" is using SAP InfoSet Query "CO_OM_OP_20_Q1". This InfoSet Query is working fine in SAP. My SAP-User has access to the following user groups:
    - /SREP/IS_UG
    - /KYK/IS_UG
    - ZBPBI131_USR
    The Controlling Area in SAP is '1000'. Crystal Reports generates this error message:
    - Failed to retrieve data from the database.
    - Database Connector Error: "Controlling area does not exist"
    - Database Connector Error: 'RFC_CLOSED'
    But InfoSet Query "CO_OM_CA_20_Q1" has no problem with Controlling Area '1000' in Crystal Reports and is working fine in SAP!
    Can somebody help?
    Thanks in advance.
