Can i do client export import between systems with different patch levels

we want to do a client export import between two systems. As I understand the patch levels should be the same in both for this to happen..
But right now I am in a situation where time is a big constrant. The basis patch level is on par. But the rest are not. Can I do client import successfully at this stage.

The only thing that may stop it working could be additional functionality between the systems.
I work on XI and there is a huge difference between SP12 and SP15. We were able to do the transports between systems, but as Dev was patched before QA, and the transport was reliant on standard settings not being available, it still went though, but we had to transport it again after applying SP15 to QA.
Again, it probably depends on what System you have running on Netweaver...

Compatibility between MII with different patch levels.

Hi all,
I know that the best solution is to have the same MII patch level in MII development environment and in produztion enviroment.
For many reasons that aren't under my direct controli, we'll have an MII 12.0.5 in development and MII 12.0.8 in production.
Are there any point to verify? Can we export from development environment and deploy to production without any changes?
On the contrary, what about having the development environment at a higher patch level than production enviroment (e.g 12.0.8 in development and deploy the solution on a 12.0.5 prduction enviroment)?
Thank in advance for your responses/experiences on this subject.
Best wishes for a nice 2010

Hi,
If you transfer from lower patches to higher patches there will not be any problem as such.
In the otherhand if you trying to export the project from higher to lower patch there you have the problem. Becuase some bugs might have been fixed in the higher patch those are not avaialble in the lower. For example in some date function of BLS might have been fixed in updated patch,the same you copied then that particulr function will not work in the lower patch and the BLS will come with errors.
Hope this helps you.

Client export/ import: tp finished with error 16

Hi folks,
I am facing an error while doing client import. I was planning for QA refresh, but ultimately decided to do a client export/import from production to QA. Export in production completed in 3 minutes, db size is around 100 gb. Created a new client in QA and while importing the tp finished with return code 16. When I compared the Z tables with PRD system, there were no entries in the Z tables copied to QA.
Can anyone suggest as what can be done for successful import or is there any alternative way to do this? This is required to be done asap.
Regards,
Sai R.

Hi Sai,
I don't know what you did here, because I do have NEVER seen an client export of 100GB in 3 minutes ! => I expect, that more or less nothing got exported ...
Z-tables .... I do hope, that your QA System contains on these Z tables as well and you are only talking on the contents of the tables that you want to copy over ...
=> This works automatically if you use something like SAPALL profile or so (if the export is successful)
You should at least export export files of 5-10% of your client size => 5-10GB - otherwise you should check the export first ...

Can I copy between systems with different R/3 releases/add-ons?

hi,all
help me!

Notes 19574 and 24853 provide basic information about this. The main or basic release must always be identical. Support Packages and add-ons should also have the same status in both systems. Only then can the consistency of the data be guaranteed.
For instance, if an add-on is only installed in the source system, the remote copy will terminate with a reference to differences in the dictionary or missing tables in the analysis phase, and will not make the copy. The remote copy terminates if not all data can be copied, in other words if, for instance, a field is missing in the target system, a field is too small or a complete table is missing. You can include individual tables and, from Release WAS 6.10, also development packages (formerly development classes) in the source system in an exception list, to avoid the termination. See note 557132 for further information.
The export does not experience this problem with the transport because the target system is not checked during the export. On the other hand, differences in the dictionary or missing tables are subsequently reported as errors during the import but this does not result in any termination. All of the data that can be imported is imported. In this respect, different ADD-ONs would not pose a problem for the client transport. to what extent is the data consistent or useable?

Difference between client Export/Import and a system refresh

Hi Experts,
I would like to know the diffrence between client Export/Import and System refresh.
Actually i have done client export from our production system and imported it into our quality system, I have asked our functional consultants whether the production data is now available in Quality. They replied me saying whole data of production system is available in Quality system as off date i have copied the export.
The size of the export was around 8GB, How can this have all the data of Production system which is around 600 GB.
In this way what is the use of System refresh which is done by database level ( changing the cntrl file etc... ), As i am getting all the data by doing Client Export/Import.
Thanks & Regards,
Injamuri

Hi,
What is system refresh when and why it is done?
The system refersh is nothing but the deletion of the client and replacing the data from other client. For example : you have clients 100, 200 and 300. Suppose when you want to refresh the client 100 you remove the client 100 and replace it with 200 0r 300 as per your reqiurement.
Mostly the refresh of clients will be happen at the time of development stage.
System Refresh is a simplified term to Client Copy. Client Copy means copying the production client on to the quality to test the real data. As recommend by SAP this need to carried out every 3 months.
The process to carry out the same is as follows:
1. Create a client on quality system using txn scc4
2. Create a RFC between Production system and Quality System (need to create on quality system)
3. Login to the newly created client using sap* and pass as a password
4. Txn sccl to start the client copy.
You can test the client copy by selecting the test run option. (test run will estimate the time taken for the activity).

Export with different audio levels

I need, very often, to export the same clip with different audio levels.
Is it possible to make presets with altered audio levels, let's say one for -12db and one for -8db.
Until now, i alter the audio level in Premiere, then I make one export, then I go back to Premiere, change again the audio level, I make the second export etc. It works, but it is very time consuming.
Thanx in advance.

It is currently not possible. However, feel free to log a feature request:

Dear Pavan
I tried last night as you said i made new client as 300 in ides and copy user profile to that
when i tried to configure stms by setting CTC =1 when i configure transport routes i don't find any client number
to provide source and target client
kindly send some screen shots if u have that would great support
.Delete the existing TMS configuration.
2.In 000 client by using the user ddic create TMS configuration using STMS.
3.Click on the system, in transport tool tab add a parameter CTC and set it to 1.
4.Now configure the transport routes, there you can find the client number in consolidation routes.

Client Copy Using Client Export/Import

Hi Everyone,
This is regarding Client Copy Using Client Export/Import Method. We have two system Production and Development system. Iam planning to do a client copy from from PRD to DEV. I know most of the steps to perform Client Copy.I have some doubhts So if some one can please help me out i would really appreciate it.
!) I want to know which user should be used to perfrom Client Export ?
2) I want to know know which user to be used to perform Client delete?
3) Is there any particular USER who is recommended to perform Client Copy or any USER can do it?
4) After the Client Delete Procedure thorugh SCC5 ..to get back the client space we do Reorganization ? can anyone plzz tell me what are the tables that i need to reorganize or if anyone can provide me the steps for Reorganization i would be really thankful.
Waiting For your Replies
Best Regards

Hi Mohammed,
1)I want to know which user should be used to perfrom Client Export ?
You can use your personal defined on the system UserID.
2) I want to know know which user to be used to perform Client delete?
Same as above, just make sure you have an account on the client and you log on to the right client
3) Is there any particular USER who is recommended to perform Client Copy or any USER can do it?
I am not aware that you should use a particular user. I have been doing copies/deletions with my UserID, as system administrator.
4) After the Client Delete Procedure thorugh SCC5 ..to get back the client space we do Reorganization ? can anyone plzz tell me what are the tables that i need to reorganize or if anyone can provide me the steps for Reorganization i would be really thankful.
Reorganization ( I personally) use SAPDBA tool. However -if you use ORACLE, there are other alternatives as well. What is your DB vendor? I will append more info in a bit.

Portal export/import between 9.0.2 and 9.o.3

I am aware that you can not export/import between portal installations on different versions e.g. 3.0.9 and 9.0.2 but is it possible to do export/import between 9.0.2 and 9.0.3?

The FAQ only states:
<<<<Snip>>>>
Portal Export/Import utilities will only work between portal installations that are at the same revision level. For example, Portal Import/Export will copy content successfully between two 9.0.2.x instances of Portal, but not between a 9.0.2 portal instance and a 3.0.9 portal instance.
That said, Portal Export/Import WILL work between two portal instances that are of different "minor" revision levels. For example, Portal Export/Import will work between a 9.0.2.2.14 portal instance to a 9.0.2.2.22 portal instance, and vice versa.

System copy with Export/Import Distribyted system UNIX database, Windows CI

HI
we have a distributed system witch I want to make a copy of
Oracle Database on HP-UX
CI + SCS on Windows
Dual stack system ABAP/Java
1) I have made an system copy with data base copy tools, and that works fine.
2) I have made a system copy export/import of a "central system"
If I try to make an export/import system copy on a distributed system it wont work.
( this work fine in a central system) I dont get anny error messages all gren checks marks !
It seems like the problem are in not finding the profiles from CI ?
It find the profiles for the sapgateway.
I someone are more interested I have more documentation with screen shots in a word document.
I Have used Installation Master SR3 and tryed with some older versions as well.
I have read SAP Note 970518 - Hom./Het.System Copy SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) SR2
SAPINST
Using virtual hosts for central and/or DB instances
SYMPTOM:
You are using virtual host names for your central instance and/or the database instance (e.g. in a HA environment). Although SAPinst finishes successfully, some export steps are not being performed.
SOLUTION:
Start the export with the property SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.
If the central instance and the database instance run on different hosts, run the database export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host name of the DB server> and - if you run a Java or ABAP+Java system - run the central instance export with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host nameof the central instance host>.
If you run a central system with different host names in the profiles, handle the export as a distributed export, calling SAPinst with parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME. Perform the export of the database instance on the DB server, calling SAPinst with SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host of the DB server>.

Hi I have received folloving answer from SAP:
You're doing everything correct - besides one thing.
When you specify the profiles during the database export it cannot be
correct to specify the profiles of the gateway instance located on
the same host.
As a consequence - it picks up the wrong instance G01 and sets the
property 'hasABAP' and 'hasJava' to 'false'... - thus the export
is empty. You can see this within the corresponding 'sapinst.log' file.
The correct procedure would be to specify the profiles of the central
instance on the Windows Machine. If you cannot access them, you should
make them available by Samba or by any type of software which makes
it's possible to export filesystems or directories from windows to
unix.
Best regards

Client export import error

Hi...
I have completed client export and import sucessfully.i have follwed the procedure ..
by using scc8 i have taken client export...completed sucessfully..
And i was imported those request by using stms Extras->other request ->add request ...and the requests are imported sucessfully...
and at the time of postprocessing by using scc7 i got error related to tp..
everything is going fine, but one transaction code is hanged(strucke)... and that transaction is working properly in system where i was taken the export...
and one thing i want confirm , the issue is because of our client export import problem or it relates to functional problem
please give the suggestion..this is an urgent issue......

Yip, I think you are in a bit of a fix here.
I only took a quick look (this is the security forum... and I could not see any initial security relevance...), but I did notice 2 things:
As suspected, there are a handfull of client independent tables involved.
Even if you do the import into a client of the same system, you might still face problems, because one of those tables has MANDT as a field.
I have no idea what the reasoning behind this is... but my guess is that you are experiencing that which the transaction is designed to do after a client copy => it hangs.
Sorry,
Julius

Problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP

Hi!
there is problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP.
when I transfer print form from one SAP system to other, logo image and some text is missing... what could be the reason?
Maybe there is other way to transfer print forms between SAP systems without using program RSTXSCRP?
Will reward,
Mindaugas

Hi,
when you transfer print forms from one sap system to another, logos are not transfered automatically. these are actually .bmp files which need to be existing in every client. then only when you run your print program logo can be seen in your print output. hence logos need to be created explicitly in every client where you want to run your print program.
thanks,

Distributed File System Replication between servers with different performance

If Distributed File System Replication is set between servers with different performance. What will happen with the performance of the fastest server? Will the performance decrease to match the performance of the
slowest server in the chain? I mean, will the source slow down (processor speed) if the recipients can't keep up?

Hi,
If you mix different performance server for DFS replication, most of improvements on the fastest server are disabled for backwards compatibility and the performance decrease to match the performance of the slowest server.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

N:1 replication from multiple ERP source systems on different EHP levels

Hello,
The situation is that the customer has multiple ERP systems on different EHP levels. Therefore, in newer EHP systems, some tables will have different structure (additional columns). The intention is to setup N:1 replication into one target DB schema
Would this be possible to support/setup in SLT ? How would the different table structure be handled?
Thanks and best regards,
Cosmin

Hi Cosmin,
I think this can be achieved. First of all you have to investigate which structures are available for the different releases. At the and the target structure has to consist of all available fields with the same name.
Before oyu start with the replication you have to specify the same target structure for all configuration.
What SLT is doing during the mapping from the source structure to the target structure is a "move-corresponding" command. So it is important that the names of the fields are the same. At the end you will have sometimes fields filled, sometimes not (depending if this field is in the source filled).
Let me know if you need further input.
Best,
Tobias
