BPC Transports vs backup/restore

BPC Gurus:
We have implemented BPC just a few months ago and are new to it. Have a question for all experts on the appset code migration.
Need to know the best practices around the code migration from dev to qa and hence production.
I see two options.
Transports and backup/recovery but need help in understanding what is the proper and best strategy.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
BPC for MS uses the backup and restore mechanism for this purpose. You need to login to the server system and then go to the BPC server manager. You need to use the backup tool to backup an application set. This will save the backup files on the server machine. Then you can copy these files to the destination server, and run the restore tool to restore the appset.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ravi,
Transporting data manager files in file server is not Supported in NW 7.0 to my knowladge.
Using transaction code SM30
UJT_TRANS_CHG
if Subobject
is not set D Changes for the Sub object will not be transported.
In my experience QA build is done when Build reaches a stable state in Dev where no changes done in the DataModel, from there on any changes in the front end Input Schedules or Report Template in moved manually between the file servers as application names remain the same.Hope it helps.

Any way to exclude BPC security settings and profiles from backup/restore?

We are on BPC 10 MS and restoring the PROD version to a DEV environment, but do not want to restore the security profiles. Need to figure this out before new BPC development is sent back to PROD with same b/u restore process. DEV security is different than PROD and we do not want the security profiles/settings in DEV to overlay PROD...

Hi Mike,
No automate process to maintain different set of users in both environments while restoring . Manually manage after refreshed based on required user profiles.
Thanks,
Vivek.

BPC Transports for the first time

Hello,
I am planning to transport my appset for the very first time. I need your guidance on the following:
1) Do I use Backup & Restore or UJBPCTR method? Pros and Cons?
2) Is the process to collect a transport in UJBPCTR once I am complete with the design and ready to move to QA? Will that capture all the changes if I do this? Also, should the appset be offline when I do this?
3) How do I migrate the SAP transports (how-tos on Destination AP etc) across landscapes? I cannot collect them as transports. Should I request BASIS to import into each landscape?
4) Do I need my appset to be transported before transporting my BADIs or it does not really matter?
5) I have heard few issues abt BPFs during transports. Is there any precaution I need to take?
I am on BPC 7.5NW SP04.
Thanks for your help and inputs.

1) Do I use Backup & Restore or UJBPCTR method? Pros and Cons?
I would not suggest to use backup/restore for transporting your appset through the landscape. Use the UJBPCTR to create your transport request and allow the transports framework to import your appset into other systems.
2) Is the process to collect a transport in UJBPCTR once I am complete with the design and ready to move to QA? Will that capture all the changes if I do this? Also, should the appset be offline when I do this?
Yes, you should create the transport request using UJBPCTR only when you are ready to transport the appset to other systems. When you run UJBPCTR, it will load metadata records into a shadow table, and this will be a snapshot of the appset at that time. So if you modify the appset after creating the request, these changes will not be reflected in the request. Yes, the appset needs to be offline to create the request.
3) How do I migrate the SAP transports (how-tos on Destination AP etc) across landscapes? I cannot collect them as transports. Should I request BASIS to import into each landscape?
Any transports associated with how-to guides should be imported and promoted to other systems via your basis people.
4) Do I need my appset to be transported before transporting my BADIs or it does not really matter?
The order does not matter. I would suggest that your badis be transported first, as this makes sense as something is dependent on them. But if you were to transport the AppSet first, it will not fail due to missing BAdIs, so again, it doesn't really matter.
5) I have heard few issues abt BPFs during transports. Is there any precaution I need to take?Not sure what you are referring to here. I believe only the templates are transported, and not the instances, and I have not heard any issues around this yet.

Single Tablespace Backup, Restore and Recovery

Hi Experts,
I need your kind help. Actually I want to take hot backup by RMAN for a particular TABLESPACE ..
I know this is possible. My question is when I restore a tablespace to any other test database
I need to create new database or I can restore it to any existing database? Just like adding new tablespace??
To recover this tablespace I need to archive log backup ?
How I can open the database on which I m going to restore/recover this particular tablespace ???
Regards,
Rizwan

You cannot copy a tablespace from one database to another using the normal Backup/Restore methods.
You have to use the TTS (Transportable Tablespace) methods.

How do I backup/restore multiple IPhone on one computer

Hi everyone
Need some help here. I work as a helpdesk and recently most of the IPhones are now due for upgrade. What is the best way to backup the data from old Iphone and restore to new Iphone for multiple users on one computer? Basically everyone expects to hand me their old phone and new phone, and when they get the new phone back, the new phone will have the same data as it was on the old one.
I have done backup/restore just for myself before. Is there a easier way to do for multiple users on the same computer?
Any input will be appreciated
Thanks
Charlie

First of all, thanks for quick reply.
How about backup to icloud and then restore from icloud? I did not bring it up because I do not want the backup/restore to cripple to network.
I would normally ask the users to take their old phone and new phone to AT&T store or Apple store to get it done. But as I work in corp office, and all I dealt with are the CEO, CFO, etc. They want the upgrade process done and without them getting involved (I try to keep it that way to make them happy).
any thoughts?
Charlie

I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS. I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts. How?

Current phone 4S with service from one provider. Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative. Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there. No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact. Maybe it can't done. A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

Windows Vista 64-bit and the Backup & Restore....

I've recently found out that Backup & Restore is not supported by Vista 64-bit. So, all the backups that did not complete and has the error message (0x8007002), all the backups are of no use. All of my documents, pictures, music, original
music materials, etc., are all gone. Can't even open the error-ed backups! Can my system be restore to it's original settings before the backup fiasco? I am at a lost to what can be done!
Sincerely (feeling hopeless)

The only thing you can do is drop your backups and plug your device to your computer to make another backup.

Backup restoring procedure in system9

anybody has documents or links which talks about backup / restore complete system9 products . ?

Hi,
I tell what I usually do.
I have EssBase and its apps in a server, and SharedServices in another one, so that, I have to do different backups.
First, make a Full backup for the ...\Hyperion folder with any backup tool (ntbackup and/or veritas in my case) and then, differential backups.
In the other server a use a script to make local copies of the SharedServices folder to mantain 1 copy per day.
On the other hand, you have to backup you SQL bases. I use de ms SQLServer tool for that.
This is a copy of my script to backup SharedServices (anyone who "lost" OpenLDAP service knows what I'm talking about..) that I scheduled to run every day. Please note that SharedServices has its own script to backup the directory, and it works fine.
++NOTE: %HYPBKP% is a system variable that I set in windows
echo "OPENLDAP Backup Log File" >SS_BKP.log
echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
Date /T >>SS_BKP.log
Time /T >>SS_BKP.log
echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
cd %HYPBKP%
RMDIR /S /Q SharedServices-OLD
REN SharedServices-7 SharedServices-OLD
REN SharedServices-6 SharedServices-7
REN SharedServices-5 SharedServices-6
REN SharedServices-4 SharedServices-5
REN SharedServices-3 SharedServices-4
REN SharedServices-2 SharedServices-3
REN SharedServices-1 SharedServices-2
REN SharedServices SharedServices-1
c:\Hyperion\SharedServices\9.3\server\scripts\backup.bat %HYPBKP%\SharedServices
I hope this help you.
Good luck

Backup/Restore from PC Suite with N71 worthless

Hi,
I have used Backup from PC Suite (Version 6.82.22.0) to backup my N71 data before I gave the N71 to a repair shop. The N71 camera was not working.
After four weeks I got a N71 replacement. A brand new N71 with a different serial number which is not good because some S60 apps now no longer work.
But anyway the real surprise I got was after I run Restore from PC Suite to get all data back. The Restore finished without any error but almost nothing useful was restored!!
No Contacts, No Messages, No phone Setup (Themes, Bluetooth Config, Apps).
Huh???
Is this really how Backup/Restore from PC Suite with a Symbian S60 3rd Nokia N71 us supposed to work??
If yes, than Backup is utterly worthless!!
I am not aware that I did something wrong. I have used Backup regularly and never got any error messages.
But it is painfully obvious that the most important data from the phone are not saved!
All the Restore did was restore some audio and image files and the Notes contents.
Regards,
Gagome

you can check the backup log for the details of the backuped content. or try this tool to view the content of the .nbu.
What's the law of the jungle?

I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.

Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
Thanks.

I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
I've tested other methods as well.
Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

Hello.
I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum! Lots of good stuff though!
This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
I'll try to keep this brief. Please hear me out!
From another post ...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
Kwopau stated ...
if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
from your last back up and everything will be on there.
End of quote ...
Here is my situation.
I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
I do not use sync. I manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
I have an HP laptop.
A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
Let me rephrase that.
I can connect with iTunes. I can see all that is on the iPhone.
When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
Most commands appear to be grayed out, I can't add or delete anything.
I do not have anything in current iTunes library at the moment.
My fear is this.
If I do the erase and sync as suggested (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library, will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...
Bob

Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
This is the discussion from which I borrowed the some of the text in my post from the discussion above.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.
