Hi,
Where can I download the homogenous copy guide for BW 3.5/Netweaver04. We are in Oracle 9i and HP-UX 11i. I tried searching under service.sap.com/instguides but failed.

User exit to copy Manual pricing conditions with in sales documents

Hi all,
I have a situation where i have to copy the manual pricing conditions from inquiry to quotation.
Problem: From VA21 when I try to do the same using the tab "create with reference" the document is being copied but the manually set pricing condition in the inquiry is not being copied into quotation. This is because in the copy controls the pricing type is set to 'B' which means "carry out new pricing". I can change it to 'C' or 'D' so that it copies manual pricing but i am not allowed to do so because other sales orgs in the company has a problem if i do so. Only our perticular sales org needs this config. I cannot even create another item catogory specific to this plant because it is against the rules of the company. So I am looking for a user exit in which i can change this pricing type during runtime so that i can plug in some code specific to this sales org to copy manual pricing. I have found one from the SAP note 24832 (MV61AFZA). It doesn't work as i think its obsolte. Can anyone suggest me a better way of solving this issue. Any quick response is appreciated.
Thanks,
Giridhar.

Which is better Remote Client Copy or Homogenous copy

Hi All
I have a task to synchronize the ECC Production server with devlopment server
For this I have two option :
1. Remote client copy from Production to Development
2. Implementing homogenous copy(oracle procedure) of production server and then remove the existing development server.
I want to know your expert view with which one should I go with, as I have seen many times that whenever I do remote client copy it gives error in test phase the following tables error. so I am not sure wherther I just go with clent copy or not.
What things should keep in mind before doing it before doing homogenous copy?
Thankx in Advance
Regards
Vinay Paul

Hi All
Is there any solution for below if I decide to go with Oracle Procedure of system copy. Because we have to provide this to one of our client as there production and Development server are out of Sink.
1. Retaining the development history
2. Retaining the transports history.
I came to know that the above thing is possible but I have no idea how.
Thankx in advance
Regards

Homogeneous Copy / Converting Distributed System as Central System.

CURRENT SAP LANDSCAPE.
SAP Production System is installed as a Distributed System:
SAP Application Host:_ AIX 5.2 - SAP Application (Central Instance - Central Services) based on NW 7.0 - ERP 2005 SR1.
Database Host: AIX 5.2 - Oracle 10G ver 10.2.0.2.0. - Database remains in SAN (Storage Area Network)
ESCENARIO ONE:
COPYING ONLY CENTRAL INSTANCE AND CENTRAL SERVICES TO A NEW HOST.
Purpose: I want to copy only SAP Application (Central Instance an Central Services) to a new host and connect to my current Database Host .
According System Copy Guide (*) the concept of System Copy includes installation of SAP instances again using copy of source system database, likewise in this Guide I found the following restrictions:
Restrictions.
1.     Copying the database only is not supported!
2.     Copying the central instance only is not supported!
      The migration controller deletes all dialog instances in the database, so the
      system is not complete any longer.
3.     Reinstalling the central instance without the database is not supported!
      The migration controller deletes all dialog instances in the database, so the
      system is not complete anylonger
Questions:
1.     Using Homogeneus Copy (Abap+Java) can I copy ONLY SAP Instances (Central Instance and Central Services) to a new host without copying Database ?
2.     Which is the best procedure to follow for this purpose?
(*) System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR1 ABAP+Java
Document version: 1.1 ‒ 08/18/2006
ESCENARIO TWO:
CONVERTING DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM IN CENTRAL SYSTEM
Purpose: Convert our SAP Distributed System (two hosts) in SAP Central System (one host)
Questions:
1.     Using Homogeneous Copy (Abap+Java) can I copy SAP Instances (Central Instance, Central Services) and Oracle Database Instance to only one host (Central System) ?
2.     Is there any specific experience or procedure for this special case?
3. Can I restore Database Full Offline Backup and SAP Application Offline backup in the new server as an alternative ?
Thanks.

Use the distributed system option, as that is what applies to your target system. It is all explained clearly in the system copy guide, which you should definitely reference as appropriate for your software version: http://service.sap.com/instguides -> Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver 7.4 (or version as appropriate) -> Installation -> 2 - Installation - SAP NetWeaver Systems -> System Copy: Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.1 or Higher -> Windows: ABAP (or system variant as appropriate). In the guide, choose the Database-Specific System Copy: MS SQL Server-Specific Procedure. Also, be sure to check out the chapter on Copying the Database Only - Refresh. Basically, it says to run SWPM on the target database instance, choosing <Product> -> <Database> -> System Copy -> Target System -> <System_Variant> -> Based on AS ABAP (or other as appropriate) -> Database Refresh or Move.

LiveCache Homogeneous Copy

Hello,
We are doing an homogeneous copy of our productive SCM 5.0 system onto the QA system. I'm kind of stuck with the LiveCache part.
Our LiveCache Version is 7.6.03.12 on both systems. Our Productive LiveCache is bigger than the QA one. So we have:
PRD : CACHE_SIZE = 3750000 and 6 volumes of 10Gb each
QUA : CACHE_SIZE= 750000 and 6 volumes one 1Gb each
The actual complete dump of our productive LC system is only 600MB. I tried to load it onto the QUA LC system but it won't let me.
I have checked sap note 457425 but if i try the part 1 of the note that says to recreate the LC instance, when i enter the name of the instance, it tells me that it already exist and doesn't go further.
If i skip the first part and go directly to the restore part, it does the restore, but i can't restart the instance (the last step of the recovery wizards says : "the database instance is not yet restartable. Choose back to perform another recovery action or choose close to end the recovery wizard".
If i try to restore a backup of the QA LC system, it works well ...
What is it i'm doing wrong ? Do both instances have to be configured equally for it to work ?
Thanks for your help.
Y.

Thanks Natalia !!!! that did the trick
i had to run the command :
dbmcli -d LC1 -u control,password load_systab -u superdba,password
and then i was able to start it from LC10.
Thanks a lot for your help !!!

Restoring clients after homogeneous copy

Hi...
I have a QAS system with three clients (100, 120 and 200).
I have a PRD system with just the client 100.
I was asked to perform an homogeneous copy from PRD to QAS, but to make sure clients 120 and 200 are not destroyed.
My question is:
Would a client export (SCC8) with profile SAP_RECO solve my problem?
I would first export both clients (120 and 200) with SAP_RECO, using the QAS system as the target, perform the copy, and then import the clients again through STMS. Would this work? Or is there any other way of doing this?
thanks
Antonio

Hi Antonio
If your are performing the system copy from PRD to QAS its will be comes only 100 client.
for this kindly follow the steps
1. Before starting the system copy Export the QAS client 120 & 200.
2. Perform the system copy from PRD to QAS, & Post system copy activitys
3. Create the New clients in QAS system
4. Do the Import which you already performed

Homogeneous Copy Error

Hi Gurus,
While doing Homogeneous Copy after database restore below error coming, advise me here to come out the issue...
User table belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database DEV
you can only install an SAP system in a database(MCOD), or you instale a JAVA add in, you might have to convert the existing sytem to its own schema, or contact your SAP support.....
Thanks in advance.

Homogeneous copy

Hi,
I am doing a database migration from the existing Production to a new server with same OS,DB and SAP ERP version. The new server type is also same with more memoryand HDD resources. The OS is windows 2003 server, DB Oracle 10.2 G and ERP version is ECC 6.0. I am planning for an homogenous copy using sapinst. My plan is to export the database using sapinst from the current production server and import to the nerserver using sapinst. Pls clarify the following points before doing the the export/ import and help me to do this activity with out much issues.
1. What are prerequistes to be carried out before doing this activity.
2. While importing whether we have to create the central instance creation before importing the database.
3. What are post installation activities.
4. Is there any other better method to carry out the server migration.

Livecache 7.5 homogeneous copy to already existing maxdb 7.5

I am trying to do homogeneous copy of scm4.1 system which has livecache into a system where maxdb 7.6(for content server) is already there. Can somebody suggest what changes are required for such situation.
original server:
dbmcli>version
OK
version,os,dbroot,logon,code,swap
"7.5.0","UNIX","/sapdb/TLX/db",True,ASCII,1

Hello Giridhara, Sorry for the delay.
A) As I understood after you run the last step (point 3) of the note 457425,
      you are able to connect to the liveCache with superdba user &
     in DBMGUI :: Instance -> Configuration -> Database Administrators,
     you could see now two users control & superdba.
After you run::
dbmcli -d <database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password> load_systab -u <sysdba_user>,<password> -ud <domain_user_password>
( the loading system tables could be done, when livecache is in 'online'
Or 'warm' mode. )
=> the upc files were maintained with the superdba, domain users data.
=>
You will see 3 users with the command:
dbmcli -d <database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password> user_getall
B) The SAPR3 user is the standard liveCache user, it's SQL user & you should be able to connect to the database using SQLStudio of dbmcli command::
      dbmcli -d <database_name> -u control,<password>
      <enter>
      dbmcli on <database_name> >sql_connect sapr3,<sapr3-pwd>
      <enter>
     dbmcli on <database_name> >sql_release
    dbmcli on <database_name> >exit
C) Please review the SAP note 877203.
D) "Brief description of the user types'" in database is available in the SAP note 25591
&& see the documentation at
http://maxdb.sap.com/currentdoc/default.htm -> Basic Information
-> Glossary -> User ->
< -> See also: Concepts of the Database System, Users, Authentication and Authorizations < -> Changing the Passwords of Standard Users > >

Users on a new system (Homogeneous copy)

Hi people,
I have done a system copy (homogeneous) I do not know if the target system must be or not users who were at the source system, someone I can indicate what?
Thank you.
P.D: <removed_by_moderator>
Edited by: Julius Bussche on Jul 1, 2008 1:17 PM

Hi,
You can also export the user master from source system from one client and again import it in the target system using TP then you should be able to log into that client with the same username,password as of source system.
Example:
From Sourcesystem (PRD) export user master from client 200.(login used is abc and password is xxxx)
In the target import that user master in client 200 using Tp.
Then log into the taget system (QTS) client 200 using username abc and passowrd xxxx .
After this anyway yopu have to do the post activity like scc7.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Is Recovery possible after homogeneous copy

Hi all,
my database is oracle 9i
1.I have 20 days old backup.using this backup I created a new system(by homogeneous system copy).Can I recover database using offline redolog files up to today date?
Thanks in advance
Regards
nani

yes it is possible, but you may need to rename your offline redologs so that it contains the SID.
20 days of redologs is a lot. hopefully, you have all offline redologs available and hopefully, you do not have any corrupted files...
it is better to take daily backups.

Transports steps after Homogeneous Copy

I'm planning to do a system copy in a few weeks time. I have done dummy runs and all is fine, but i'm unsure about the steps that are required for the transpors after the live copy.
The installation notes are very vague on this front. Is it just a case of running se06, or do I need to set up the transports domain again etc??
Thanks
Ian

You've probably already thought of this, but just as a reminder:
1) you'll have to log onto client 000 and request to be added back to the Transport domain, then activate the request on the Domain Controller (tcode stms)
2)Applied transport request level may be different between your QA & Prod. I usually down load the E070 table of QA before the refresh and compare it to the a download after the restore. Then manually add the transports to bring QA back to the transport level is was before the refresh. (May not be a concern in your landscape)

Copy manual delivery address

Hi. We have a requirement where users want to manually change a delivery address in a shopping cart on 1 item and have the option to copy it to all other items.
We could use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to check for partner type 00000027 and insert it in the other lines, but how do we provide the option to copy?
The do not want it to always change all the other lines.
Is there any way of getting a yes/no pop up box when the user changes the address?
Or does anyone else have a better idea?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Dave.

Hi David,
Probably you can give a try to User Status. Take for instance you have a status using which the user can say that the address needs to be copied (by activating it). Then using the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, you can check for this status and change the delivery address in all items appropiately.
Please have look at this article I submitted below.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/2047466a-fb48-2b10-33ba-d3243b2f6723
Your requirment is a bit tricky, but please explore this option. This has worked out very well for quite a few of my requirements (Bids and Invoices) as there is flexibility to switch off and switch on this just using standard customizations.

Kathirvel

How to execute a homogeneous copy on linux?

Dear all:
      I want to do a homogeneous system copy from old server to new server.The old server is a production system which os is linux and db is oracle.The new server has highly hardware(cpu,memory) which os is linux.So,I want the new(traget) system will be the same as old system include backgroud jobs,customizing cofigration and so on ,it will replace the old server as a production server for my business.
    Someone can tell me the procedure upon the homogeneous system copy and how to do it?Thanks!
    By the way,do this action whether need migration key or not?
                                                   Brian yuan

Deat Brian,
In new system where u r coping your production system.
Follow the Homosystem copy guide for Linux & relevan to your SAP Release.
You have two methods for copy
1) Backup restore
2) Export
You can go with export option which is safer.
Do export of database from source
& import the export in target using sapinst.
Before that set the kernel & relevant settings for linux.
in /etc/sysconf.
