BEx Query to be transported from Production to Development

Hi All,
We have got an unusual scenario in which we have to import/transport few Bex queries from Production to Development environment. I understand this is not a best practice, but any one suggest the way to implement the same.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
For every transport which moves a transport route is configured in transaction STMS (Transport Management System). Ideally it is Dev --> Qal --> Prod. Usually we do not have access to this transaction as Basis Team Configures this route. Check once in transaction STMS (if you have access) that whether the route Prod --> Dev is configured or not (i doubt it would be).
In that case you can raise a request to Basis to configure this route for this exceptional case, if they agree then Transports can be moved via this new configured route.

Changing BEx Query in EDIT mode in production environment

Hello,
In our BI Production system, the BEx queries can not be opened in edit mode.
I have to change the query in production.But the same qury in developement is quite different.
So instead of changing the query in dev and transporting it to quality and prd, i want to directly edit the query in PRD.
Is there any way i can change the query in production directly?
If so, what are the steps to be followed?
Also, can we copy the query in Prd environment into developement environment?

[want to transport object from production to dev server]
Transporting from Production to Development is definitely not "Best Practice". For exceptions this is OK, but I can't recommend to do this on a regular basis. Because in the end you will turn your production system into a development box and create potential circular references:
DEV -> QA -> PROD -> DEV

Transport of portal pages from Production to Development

Hi,
I need to transfer the portal pages from from the production server to development server. I did see references from Development to Production but not vice- versa.
Can anybody please help me with this? What are the best practices?
DEP :- SP19 and PEP - SP9.
Thanks much,
Dharmi

Hi,
The best practises are :
1) All the Portal Servers in the System Landscape should have the same version, same support package and patches.
2) You should never transport from Production to Development, it's always the other way round.
Why do you want to transport something from Production to Development ? We always develop somthing, test it and then trasnport it to production. Any modifications to be done, should be first done on the Development Server, tested and then transported to the Production. I don't see a need to transport content from Production to Development.
Anyways, if you want to do so can you always create a transport package on Portal Production Server, add those pages to the transport package, export the transport package. You may save this transport package on the local system or you may copy this from the export folder of the server to the import folder of Portal Production Server. Then on the Portal Developement Server import the file. If you have saved the transport package file on your local machine, then while importing select client, browse and then import the file from your local machine or else select server -> browse -> import folder -> select the transport package file and import.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sunil

Exporting data from Production to Development in a R/3 System

Good Morning,
I have a landscape where i have a Productive and a Development system (SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.70 SR1 1.10 with MaxDB 7.5 running on a HP-UX 11.23) and i was asked to copy the data and customizing (not user master data) from Production to Development. Both systems have 7 clients (6 for each country and one for Human Resources) and i need to copy the productive data to the development data (the Productive data can overwrite the Development data).
This is my first time doing this, and since i have a short deadline to do it, i need all the help i can get...
I'm not sure if i should use SCC8 or SCC9 in order to create a transport request for each client copy.
I've checked the OS space in sapdata and transport directories, i've also checked the database space and i need to change MAXDATAVOLUMES size and also create more volumes.
Now that i've done that, i need to know what to do next... Does anyone knows where i can find a procedure or documentation on this? Some kind of step by step guide?
About the Export Profiles, which default profile should i choose in order to copy
All client specific data, customizing AND NOT user master data?
Can i do any kind of test run before the export in order to understand the space i'm going to need in transport directory for example?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pedro Gaspar

Hello Pedro,
1. In SCC8 the SAP_APPL profile isn't available, so i guess i need to use SAP_ALL and change the user master data accordingly afterwards right?
In that case, you should/can 'Export' the user master of the target system before the Client copy, so that you can re-import the same user master in the target system after sap_all copy from source.
2. I also have several project teams developing in ABAP in my development system. If i export the productive client, will the ABAP code be overwritten (scripts, smartforms, etc...)? I ask this, because right now there are several programs with different versions in both systems (the landscape consists of only a DEV and PRD system NO quality). If the ABAP code in development will be overwritten, i need to tell the development teams to comment all the changes, then create transports to production to make the program versions the same, and then save the data an cofiles to import them again in development after the import. Will also RFC definitions change? Jobs will also be copied? What's the difference between this and a Homogeneous System Copy using backup/restore?
This is the reason that normally the 'Production to Development' copy is not recommended. I would wait if our other techies here can help/advise us for this.
A simple difference between a client copy and system copy is that the client copy is just 'client dependent' change and system copy is 'system wide' change - erasing everything on the target and just overwriting/duplicating the 'complete source' onto the target.
Thanks

Full export of the CMS from Production to Development

Hello All,
We have to export the reports and universes from Production to Development. In short we need to sync the Development CMS repository with Production CMS repository.
What is the best way to do this. Is Import Wizard the only way to export the contents to Development?
Because when I exported one report from Dev to Prod , we had to go and reset the scheduling properties again in Production. It did not maintain the properties which it was set to before. Is there a way to maintain the scheduling properties the way it was set to before. Or every time when we export a modified report to Production, we need to go and set properties back?
We are using BO 3.1 version.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi NR,
You will see both Development & Productions services when you go to the "Servers" in CMC once the development is up.
For example,
dev.pageserver
dev.reportjobserver
dev.cacheserver
prod.pageserver
prod.reportjobserver
prod.cacheserver
this happens b'cos of using the production schema for development. It will have a copy of the production services, so you need to delete the services once the CMC is up and running.

If i do it in dev again, how to transport it back to production.
what precaustion i need to take.
thanks

Hi Kartikey,
Follow the below steps.
1.Goto transport connection in RSA1 of ur development.
2.Click on icon Bex.Create a Bex request.
3.Edit ur query.Assign it to created Bex request.
4.Transport it to Production.
Your previous query in Production will be over written by the new Query.
Assigning points is the way of saying thanks in SDN.

Transport of queries from production to developement

Hello BI Community,
We allow ad-hoc query development in our production system. Yet certain queries are critical and must be "certified" so that they cannot be overwritten in an ad-hoc manner.
The method for certifying a query is to transport it from the development system, and once done the only way to change this query is to move another transport.
As more and more sophisticated queries need to be certified, it is becoming difficult to re-create those queries in the development system for the certification process.
Does anybody have experience or recommendations around moving a query that was originally created in the production system BACKWARDS to the development system ? Then it would be easy to move forward again via transport for certification.
Thank you !
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
1. Open production system
2. Create transport (1) in Prod, add queries, process chains, etc.
3. Create new transport (2) in Prod (in SE01) of type "Transport of Copies"
4. Enter your target system on this screen (choose your Dev system here!)
5. Include objects from transport 1 into transport 2
6. Release transport 2 to go to Dev
7. Delete transport 1 from Prod. This release locks on the objects.
8. Close Prod
8. Import transport 2 into Dev system
OR
The reverse transport is usually not setup , what you could do is :
1. As BASIS to set up the connection
2. Copy the transport object into file and then import it manually into Development

How to reverse the transport from Production

Hi all,
by mistake I have transported the wrong order type to production. now I want to reverse it , how it can be done. my other question is what will be the effect if I directly delete that order type from production.
Regards
Kumar

Hello Akumar,
basically you have 2 options:
1) restore your system to a point in time just prior to the import of the request;
2) goto your DEV system, correct the order type change, create a new transport request and transport it to production. It'll overwrite the defective one. (you can also retrieve a previous version of this object via Version Management and create a change request from it)
It's highly not recommended to perform any kind of alteration directly on production (like deleting these orders) since you have a control mechanism (via TMS) to control de modifications and adjustments. Moreover you can have unpredictable behavior if this objects are used by other objects. Please don't do it to avoid making thins even worse.
I hope this helps.

Transfer of FSV from Production to Development

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to tranfer FSV from Production system to Development system because we don't have the correct version of FSV in Development system.
Please anybody can help in this.
Thanks in advance
Narayanan

Hi,
yes create a tranpsort request in P-client from OB58 (mark the FSV version go to "table view / transport"), in the transport request enter the target system number from the DEV-client.
Releaae the request in SE10. In STMS go to the target client, check if the request is ready to be imported in Dev-client if not go to "Extras / other requests / add" and key in the transport request number that you've created to add the request to the import queue.
Your ABAP-guys / base admins can help you if required.
best regards, Christian

Copying Scripts from Production to Development server...

Hi everybody,
I have a script by name YRSCRIPT_INV in production server.I have a script in Development server with the same name, But i want the script in the production to be copied to the client with someother name.Is it possible to do that?

Hi Vardharaj,
You have a script with the same name in both production and development .Do you want to copy from prd to dev or dev to prd ? What ever it is , just copy it with a newname and assign the transport request name to the new form and then you can transport it .

Replication of Project Server 2010 databases from Production to Development

HI
We have One Production, One Development and One QA server but the Production data is not matching with the Dev and QA.
Now our client is asking is there any possibility that we can copy the production data bases and replicate in the Dev and QA.
Is there any auto sync method where the production data updates will be updated in Dev and QA automatically.
Our environment is Project Server 2010 4 PWA data bases and 1 config data base and 1 config data base for project sites.
Please suggest a best possible way to solve this issue as i thought to take the the PWA back up frm central admin along with the 4 db back up from pwa--- 6 db back up from sql server---- restore all of them in the Dev and QA---i don't think it is the right
approach.
Thanks
Geetha
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

As per your First post you only want to update the data of DB on regular basis.
Now you are talking about back up restore Please be clear what you want .
If you have all the configuration ready on qa and dev then only replication need to be done.
can i use the replication mechanism for all the 5 databases in PS 2010 at time won't be a problem right
? YES
other wise
If i want to copy the PWA configuration part can i use play book or any other steps i need to perform.
YES
We have some workflows on PWA instance. Create workflow on Dev and QA

A query Transport from test to development

Hello,
I want to transport a query from the test server to te development one. How to do that?
I have create the order but i cannot specify that the target is the test server, how to do that? When i do the se10 transaction, my order appear in "local modification" and so i cannot transport it, can you help me please??
I want to do that because I have done a mistake in my query in the development area and so i would restore the first version of this query (the version that i have already transport in the test server)
Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards,
Julien

I doubt there will be a transport path setup between your test and development server. Ask the basis guys. If the path is setup then you can double click on the transport request number and change the target server.
Otherwise, if the basis guys are your friends then release the transport and ask them to import the request in development and the query will come in. bare in mind some settings has to be done before you release the transport. the basis guys will walk you through that.
Hope this helps.
