Best practices for transport of setup of archivelink/contentserver

Hi
I'm using the archivelink setup to store all kind of documents/files and to archive outgoing documents and print lists (print and archive).
But I don't know how we should transport the setting.
We need different setup in dev/qa/prd systems because we don't want documents from our development system stored in the same server as the documents from our productive system.
We have 2 setup used in different scenarios :
1) We link the ObjectType/Doc.type to different content repositories in OAC3 (D1 for dev, Q1 for qa and P1 for prd)
2) We point the content repository to different HTTP servers in OAC0/CSADMIN
In both scenarios I see 2 options.
1) open for customizing in qa and prd systems and maintain the different setups directly in each system.
2) We Transport the prd content repositories all the way, but delete the transport with qa content repositories after import to the qa system and finally we don't transport the dev content repositories at all.
Both options are bad practices, but what are Best practices?
Best regards
Thomas Madsen Nielsen

Hi David,
The best mechanism is probably transporting the objects in the same order as creating/changing them. The order would be Application Components, Info Area, Info-objects, Transfer Structure, Transfer Rules, Communication Structure, InfoCube, Update rules, Infopackages and the frontend components.
There are many topics on BW transports in SDN forum. You can search for them.
You can refer to this link for more details on transports in BW System:

  • Best Practice for Production IDM setup

    Hi, what is the best practice for setting up prodcution IDM:
    1. Connect IDM prod to ECC DEV,QA and Prod or
    2. Connect IDM prod to ECC prod only and Connect IDM dev to ECC Dev and QA.
    Please also specify pros and cons for both options if possible.
    Thanks in advance,
    Farhan

    We run our IDM installation as per your option 2 (Prod and non-prod on separate instances)
    We use HCM for the source of truth in production and have a strict policy regarding not allowing non HCM based user accounts. HCM creates the SU01 record and details are downloaded to IDM through the LDAP extract. Access is provision based on Roles attached to the HCM Position in IDM. In Dev/test/uat we create user logins in IDM and push the details out.
    Our thinking was that we definitely needed a testing environment for development and patch testing, and it needs to be separate to production. It was also ideal to use this second environment for dev/test/uat since we are in the middle of a major SAP project rollout and are creating hundreds of test and training users with various roles and prefer to keep this out of a production instance.
    Lately we also created a sandpit environment since I found that I could not do destructive testing or development in the dev/test/uat instance because we were becoming reliant on this environment being available. Almost a second production instance - since we also set the policy that all changes are made through IDM and no direct SU01 changes are permitted.
    Have a close look at your usage requirements before deciding which structure works best for you.

  • BPC 7M SP6 - best practice for multi server setup

    Experts,
    We are considering purchasing new hardware for our BPC 7M implementation. My question is what is the recommended or best practice setup for SQL and Analysis Services? Should they be on the same server or each on a dedicated server?
    The hardware we're looking at would have 4 dual core processors and 32 GB RAM in a x64 base. Would this adequately support both services?
    Our primary application cube is just under 2GB and appset database is about 12 GB. We have over 1400 users and a concurrency count of 250 users. We'll have 5 app/web servers to handle this concurrency.
    Please let me know if I am missing information to be able to answer this question.
    Thank you,
    Hitesh

    I don't think there's really a preference on that point. As long as it's 64bit, the servers scale well (CPU, RAM), so SQL and SSAS can be on the same server. But it is important to look also beyond CPU and RAM and make sure there's no other bottlenecks like storage (Best practice is to split the database files on several disks and of course to have the logs on disks that are used only for the logs). Also the memory allocation in SQL and OLAP should be adjusted so that each has enough memory at all times.
    Another point to consider is high availability. Clustering is quite common on that tier. And you could consider having the active node for SQL on one server and the active node for OLAP (SSAS) on the other server. It costs more in SQL licensing but you get to fully utilize both servers, at the cost of degraded performance in the event of a failover.

  • What is the guideline and/or best practice for EMC setup on ASM?

    We are going to use EMC CX4-480 for ASM storage on RAC. What is the guideline and best practice for EMC setup on ASM?
    Thanks for the advice!

    Probably a poor choice of words. Sorry.
    So basically, I have gotten further, but I just noticed related problem.
    I'm using the WebServices(WS) 1.0. I insert an account, then, on a separate WS call, I insert my contacts for the account. I include the AccountID, and a user defined key from the Account when creating the Contact.
    When I look at my Contact on the CRMOD web page, it shows the appropriate links back to the Account. But when I look at my Account on the CRMOD web page, it shows no Contacts.
    So when I say workflow or Best Practice, I was hoping for guidance on how to properly write my code to accomplish all of the necessary steps. As in this is how you insert an account with a contact(s) and it updates the appropriate IDs so that it shows up properly on the CRMOD web pages.
    Based on the above, it looks like I need to, as the next step, take the ContactID and update the Account with it so that their is a bi-directional link.
    I'm thinking there is a better way in doing this.
    Here is my psuedocode:
    AccountInsert()
    AccountID = NewAcctRec
    ContactInsert(NewAcctRec)
    ContactID = NewContRec
    AccountUpdate(NewContRec)
    Thanks,

  • Best Practices for CS6 - Multi-instance (setup, deployment and LBQ)

    Hi everyone,
    We recently upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6 and migrated to a multi-instance server from a single-instance. Our current applications are .NET-based (C#, MVC) and are using SOAP to connect to the InDesign server. All in all it is working quite well.
    Now that we have CS6 (multi-instance) we are looking at migrating our applications to use the LBQ features to help balance the workload on the INDS server(s). Where can I find some best practices for code deployment/configuration, etc for a .NET-based platform to talk to InDesign?
    We will be using the LBQ to help with load management for sure.
    Thanks for any thoughts and direction you can point me to.

  • 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.

  • Best practice for a deplomyent (EAR containing WAR/EJB) in a productive environment

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for some hints regarding to the best practice deployment in a productive
    environment (currently we are not using a WLS-cluster);
    We are using ANT for buildung, packaging and (dynamic) deployment (via weblogic.Deployer)
    on the development environment and this works fine (in the meantime);
    For my point of view, I would like to prefere this kind of Deploment not only
    for the development, also for the productive system.
    But I found some hints in some books, and this guys prefere the static deployment
    for the p-system.
    My question now:
    Could anybody provide me with some links to some whitepapers regarding best practice
    for a deployment into a p-system ??
    What is your experiance with the new two-phase-deploment coming up with WLS 7.0
    Is it really a good idea to use the static deployment (what is the advantage of
    this kind of deployment ???

    Hi Siva,
    What best practise are you looking for ? If you can be specific on your question we could provide appropriate response.
    From my basis experience some of the best practices.
    1) Productive landscape should have high availability to business. For this you may setup DR or HA or both.
    2) It should have backup configured for which restore has been already tested
    3) It should have all the monitoring setup viz application, OS and DB
    4) Productive client should not be modifiable
    5) Users in Production landscape should have appropriate authorization based on SOD. There should not be any SOD conflicts
    6) Transport to Production should be highly controlled. Any transport to Production should be moved only with appropriate Change Board approvals.
    7) Relevant Database and OS security parameters should be tested before golive and enabled
    8) Pre-Golive , Post Golive should have been performed on Production system
    9) EWA should be configured atleast for Production system
    10) Production system availability using DR should have been tested
    Hope this helps.

    Sales and Marketing
    SAP Best Practices for Chemicals supports the following sales and marketingu2013related business processes:
    Sales order processing u2013 In this scenario, SAP Best Practices for Chemicals supports order entry, delivery, and billing. Chemical industry functions include the following:
    u2022 Triggering an available-to-promise (ATP) inventory check on bulk orders after sales order entry and automatically creating a filling order (Note: an ATP check is triggered for packaged material.)
    u2022 Selecting batches according to customer requirements:
    u2022 Processing internal sales activities that involve different organizational units
    Third-party and additional internal processing u2013 In this area, the SAP Best Practices for Chemicals package provides an additional batch production step that can be applied to products previously produced by either continuous or batch processing.

    SAP Functions in Detail u2013 SAP Best Practices for Chemicals
    The package can also be used to support external toll processing such as that required for additional treatment or repackaging.
    Tank-trailer processing u2013 In this scenario, SAP Best Practices for Chemicals helps handle the selling of bulk material, liquid or granular. It covers the process that automatically adjusts the differences between the original order quantities and the actual quantities filled in the truck. To determine the quantity actually filled, the tank trailer is weighed before and after loading. The delta weight u2013 or quantity filled u2013 is transmitted to the SAP software via an order confirmation. When the delivery for the sales order is created, the software automatically adjusts the order quantity with the confirmed filling quantity.The customer is invoiced for the precise quantity filled and delivered.
    Supply Chain Planning and Execution
    SAP Best Practices for Chemicals supports supply chain planning as well as supply chain execution processes:
    Supply and demand planning u2013 Via the SAP Best Practices for Chemicals package, SAP enables complete support for commercial and supply-chain processes in the chemical industry, including support for integrated sales and operations planning, planning strategies for bulk material, and a variety of filling processes with corresponding packaging units.

  • Best Practices for Defining NDS Java Projects...

    We are doing a Proof of Concept on using NDS to develop non-SAP Java applications.  We are attempting to determine if we can replace our current Java development tools with NDS/WAS.
    We are struggling with SAP's terminology and "plumbing" for setting up/defining Java projects.  For example, what is and when do you define Tracks, Software Components, Development Components, etc.  All of these terms are totally foreign to us and do not relate to our current Java environment (at least not that we can see).  We are also struggling with how the DTR and activities tie in to those components.
    If any one has defined best practices for setting up Java projects or has struggled with and overcome these same issues, please provide us with some guidance.  This is a very frustrating and time-consuming issue for us.
    Thank you!!

    Hi Peggy,
    In Component Model we divide software projects into small components.Components can use other components in well defined manner.
    A development object is a part of a component that can be changed or developed in some way; it provides the component with a certain part of its functionality. A development object may be a Java class, a Web Dynpro view, a table definition, a JSP page, and so on. Development objects are always stored as “sources” in a repository.
    A development component can be defined as a frame shared by a number of objects, which are part of the software.
    Software components combine components (DCs) to larger units for delivery and deployment.
    A track comprises configurations and runtime systems required for developing software component versions.It ensures stable states of deliverables used by subsequent tracks.
    The Design Time Repository is for versioning source code management. Distributed development of software in teams. Transport and replication of sources.
    You can also find lot of support in SDN for the above concepts with tutorials.
    Refer this Link for a overview on Java development Infrastructure(JDI)

  • (Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

    Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server.   (This
    will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
    Specifically, your best practices regarding:
    the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,  
    the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
    RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),  
    IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,  
    disk caching settings on both host and guests.  
    Thanks so much for any information you can share.

    A bit of non essential additional info:
    We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
    over to the new infrastructure .   We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
    During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
    information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
    Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
    seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
    We have read these and others:
    Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100), 
    Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
    Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
    Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.

    1.  The remote Site B will have a different IP range than Site A but will be connected to Site A via a single VPN tunnel.  All the DCs that replicate with each other are on the same domain. 
    2.  The 2012 DC that I setup for Site B (same domain in same forest) will be a DHCP, DNS, and WSUS server all replicating to the primary DC at Site A
    Questions:
    1.  What items can I setup while it's at Site A without effecting or conflicting with the existing network and domain controller?  Can I setup a scope once the DHCP role is added? 
    2.  All of our DCs replicate through Sites and Services, do I have to manually add this to our primary DC for the new DC going to remote Site B?  Or when does this happen automatically when I promote the DC? 
    All and all I'm just looking for a list of Best Practices for 2012 or a Step by Step Guide.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.
    For more and detail information, please refer to:
