Building Temp SAP Production Server using DB Restore Method

Dear Gurus,
we are underway of a hardway migration of HP-UX/Oracle 10.2/4.7R3
This is my first of a kind project. We are currently underway of moving a client production server to our site..... we are using db restore method to build the sap system. we have already received the online backup tapes from the client along with the corresponding logs.
I am incharge of restoring the database once the unix team completes the fille system restore. i will really appreciate if the more experienced people among us can give me a quick run down of how thsi process shoudl run, what kind of steps to start with.
or important sap links for this procedure.
Thanks and Regards to all

Hi,
Best way to start with is reading system copy guide which will give you step by step process.
Thanks

System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.

Hi
We are planning to do a System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.
But as the Production Server Java Version is below 1.4.1, Orabrcopy could not be executed.
As per the planned downtime of the Production Server, we have copied all the database offline. ( say 9th of August)
but we could not create the control , trace, init<sid>.ora files using ORABRCOPY.. during offline database copy.
Now the system is up and running.. We havent created the files yet.
I have 2 questions..
1. Is there any other method so that we can create the control , trace, and init<sid>.ora files.
2. If we create the control trace files now ( 13th of August ) can we use the offline backup that we took on (9th of August) to perform a System Copy..
Need your addvice..
Thanks and Regards
Paguras

Basically, orabrcopy does (aside from other things) an
alter database backup controlfile to trace;
You can enter that manually (anytime) and use the resulting .trc file in saptrace directory as a base for control.sql, however, in this case you need to "know" what you're doing. ORABRCOPY is a "nice frontend" for this because it uses the same statement to create CONTROL.SQL, it just edits it appropriately which you will need to do manually.

Cannot see Business Objects Repository in SAP production server from Worskpace - SMP 2.3

Hi all,
I have problems with reading RFC from production server, because BOR isn't visible at all in Mobile Workspace. Maybe I do something wrong so let me explain what am trying to accomplish. I need to make applications work on production server. Until now they worked and were tested on development server. Applications are native Android with MBO (SMP 2.3.3). So my guess is that I need to transport RFC functions from development to production, which I did, then to make new connection to production server in workspace and generate MBOs and code from them that will finally replace the old MBO code in Android application. If that is the procedure, then the only problem is that I can't see those RFC in production. My user have sap all privileges and in them S_RFC authorization object so I guess authorization isn't the problem. I also tried to switch the language in workspace connection because last time (on development) that was the problem. Any idea somebody?

Well there is only one mobile server. I don't know exactly how they (client) think it will work but when I say production server I refer to SAP EIS production server.
Anyway the solution to the problem with BOR visibility is this note:
Note 706195 - BAPIs are missing in the component hierarchy display
Thanks Midhun! I will probably have more questions..

TFS work item store is not connecting in production server using server side event handler code

Server side plugin code to connect to work item store
tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(tfsUri));
store = (WorkItemStore)tfs.GetService(typeof(WorkItemStore));
I used the above code and accessed work item store in my TFS DEV server without username and password. But the same plugin code is not working for the TFS Production server.
Exception:
Account name:
domain\TFSService Detailed Message: : TF30063: You are
not authorized to access http://localhost:8080/tfs/xx. Exception Message: TF30063: You are not
authorized to access http://localhost:8080/tfs/xx
Please guide

Hi divya,
From the error message, you might not have the permissions to get the work item store in TFS production server. You can check the permissions on your production server by using
tfssecurity command in VS command line.
Please execute tfssecurity /imx “domain\username” /collection:url, for more information about tfssecurity /imx, please refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400806.aspx
If you have the permission, then you can also clean team foundation cache and try again.

SAP SQL System Copy backup restore method with ADS(Adobe document services)

Hello all,
i´m preparing a system copy with ERP 6.0 in windows and SQL server with ADS.
I have a doubt, can i do the System Copy backup/restore method with ADS??
or the only method that works is with system export/import in all instances??
Thank you

Hi Oscar,
Is your ADS system separate from your ERP system, or are they on the same server?
In any case, you can use backup/restore to copy a Java system, but you must also make a system export/import for the Java server components. The two work in conjunction, so that the export tool doesn't export your whole database, only the components maintained in the filesystem. If you select the database detach/attach or backup/restore method in the tool when going against the Java system, it will prompt you at the right point in the process to make your Java export as well.
The caveat is that the Java export requires downtime, so it isn't possible to copy a Java system without impacting system availability, as it is with a pure ABAP system.
Best regards,
Matt

High Availability Production Server using online replication

Hi
In One box, stopped online replication from one box to second box located in remote ofsite. Converted code page conversion from EBCDIC code to ASCII code and then performed Upgrade SAP 4.6C with SAP ECC 5.0. Everything ran smoothly.
Secondly Customer wanted to to do online replication. For this purpose there are two options,
First Option is:
Install SAP ECC 5.0 in second box
Second Option is Homogeneous copy from One box to Second box.
I am not sure which option is better.
After that, we have to start online replication to transfer journal receiver from one box to second box and apply it to the database in Second box.
I am not familiar the OS400 iseries V5R3M0 command how to perform Online replication .
COuld you please send us procedure how to perform Online replication .
Thanks and Regards
A Prasad Rao
After that we have to start

Hi TCS-Support,
I would say, it is always a bit a pitty, to do consulting and to not know the specials of a platform :-((
You can use both ways - installation or homo-copy. I would use the homo copy, but that is my feeling - and in the end you need in order to refresh the stuff a new DB-Copy anyway.
Then you need either iASP, manual apply of journal receivers or to buy a product like Mimix, DataMirror etc. of the HA-Suites.

SAP Solution Manager and SAP Production Server on Single Host

We are rolling out our new infrastructure using high end Solaris Servers that have plenty of grunt.
I am looking at running SAP Solution Manager 7 and SAP Netweaver 6 on the same HOST using two Oracle databases.
We will use 10g and have 2 separate transport volumes for transports. The Development and test environments will be very similar.
Appreciate any advise or thoughts. We are not looking at virtualising this particular environment.

Technically you can do that - yes. I could also imagine in installing the ERP on the bare metal and the SolMan in a zone, together with a processor set you can limit resource usage and you´re totally isolated from your production environment and will so make sure that SolMan is not stealing necessary resources from your production environment.

Automatic Reprocess of Trfc messages in PI production server using RSARFCEX

Hello All,
i am getting frequent errors of SYSFAIL in TRFC queue in PI. I am trying to schedule RSARFCEX report as the Background job, please advice me "is this correct solution" and also please tell whether this will effect any other messages other than reprocessing the failed TRFC messages.

Hi
RSARFCEX is the report for restarting messages with trfc errors. But if the messages are failed because of wrong entries in ALE configurations in case of IDoc scenarios then you need to resolve them manually.

HT4097 can't restore ipad using the "restore" method or the "recovery" method

Hi,
I tried to log in to my ipad and it kept giving me the message that I entered the wrong passcode. That doesn't make any sense at all because I was entering the password I set up and the same one I have been using to login successfully. I got locked out repeatedly. So continuing to try the password is unsuccessful. Why this is happening is not important to me. The important thing to me is restoring the ipad.
I followed the directions on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 for restoring the device and I got the message to enter the password, which I did and it locked me out again.
Then I followed the directions on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 to restore in the recovery mode and again I got the message to enter my password.
Both of these things were unsuccessful. Now what do I do?
I have the new ipad. I am using the same computer used to sync the ipad and the ipad is backed up on a regular basis.
Thanks!
Joan

Recovery mode asking for the password makes no sense to me. Are you sure that you are performing the steps correctly? Please don't be offended by the question. It's just a double check sort of thing.
I would try recovery mode again - a couple of times if needed. But quit iTunes, and restart the Mac before you try again. If that still doesn't work, try another computer - which will wipe the iPad, but may let you back into the iPad.
If it works successfully and you do sync regularly - you can restore from a recent backup on your Mac and the sync with iTunes to get all of your content back onto the device.

Production server Incremental Backup is restoring in Testing server

Dear All,
Currently our Production database is running in windows 2003 server , Oracle version is 10.2.0.4.0
Now my question is daily incremental backup of production server will be restored in testing server (same configuration in production server
and testing server ) how can i achieve this .....

S.Arun

Hi Oradba,
Thanks for your response. I went through the link and we need this only for testing purpose and not for reporting.
We need to take incremental backup and restore it in testing server. Is it possible to do this without RMAN.(Due to some Business reasons)
Thanks & Regards,

BPC link with any other SAP products?

Hi, Prakash
I am wondering how BPC communicate with any other SAP products? using RFC? Can we load the data from ECC into BPC?
Thanks
C.S.

Hi Chimei,
We are currently going to kickstart our BPC project.
We went through the process of evaluating products which can help easy extraction of data from SAP products into Outlooksoft.
There is a company called ERPLink which has a product suite called iNet.BI which helps enable this. It is very inexpensive (17K for software with 17% annual maintenance charges). This product is SAP certified and has ability to read metadata from SAP modules. It can extract data from BW environments (Cubes, queries of ODS objects) and from R/3 environments (via ABAP report programs with their embedded macros & direct table views). From the product demo, the user interface seemed simplistic. The product is installed on the Outlooksoft environment and uses SQL*Server Information Services (DTS packages) to do the load from SAP source system to Outlooksoft.
You might want to consider this product as an alternative to Flat File loads.
Hope this helps.
